Sex Robots, Digisexuals, and Deepfakes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex Robots, Digisexuals, and Deepfakes: AI, Affect, and Sexual Ambivalence in the Digital Age. Speaker: Dr. Lara Karaian<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is now widely acknowledged that virtual and non-virtual worlds are not discrete entities. Experiences within virtual reality (VR) \u201ccan be claimed as practically real: that is, they are not \u2018just\u2019 fantasies, they have an authority which would not apply to overtly \u2018fantastic\u2019 activities such as day-dreaming\u201d (Ferreday, 2009, p. 50). Similarly, sex involving Artificial Intelligence (AI) has given rise to new sexual ontologies such as sex robots, new sexual subjectivities, such as digisexuals, and new representational practices, such as deepfakes. This talk explores how VR and AI blur the distinctions between virtual\/real, fantasy\/reality, illusory\/actual, mind\/body, subject\/object, emotional\/physical, distasteful\/dangerous, and pleasurable\/harmful. I consider the ontological and affective dimensions of sex 3.0 and the potential legal implications of developments in sextech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Book:<\/strong> Curating Community<\/em> argues that museums and constitutions invite visitors to gloss over the biases and complexities of society. The book asks us to reconsider deep questions about how we conceptualize the limits of ourselves, as well as our political communities, in order to attend to everyday questions of justice in the courtroom, the museum, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Author:<\/strong> Stacy Douglas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies. Her research interests pertain to theories of democracy, the role of the state, the relationship between government and governed, and processes of decolonization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Male Gaze or Lesbian Gaze? The Photos and Writing of Kiyooka Sumiko<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

February 27th 2-4pm
\nHistory Department
\n4th Floor Paterson Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1968 and 1973, Kiyooka published no fewer than eight books that variously contained photography, non-fiction, prose fiction, and poetry depicting lesbian lives, books that formed part of a \u201clesbian boom\u201d in the Japanese media. Kiyooka\u2019s non-fiction and early lesbian photography in particular document and offer a practical guide to contemporary lesbian life in Japan and beyond, including Korea, Vietnam, and Okinawa. She also draws on lesbian history focused on ancient Greece, Japan, and elsewhere to make utopian claims about the future for lesbians in Japan and globally. Yet, perhaps owing to her work\u2019s androcentric appeal and sometimes salacious tone, Kiyooka has been absent from lesbian histories by members of the community.
\nDr. James Welker of Kanagawa University will contextualize Kiyooka\u2019s contribution to non-fiction and photography and shed light on why she has not been claimed as a pioneering lesbian
\nphotographer, writer, and activist in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2018 Marston LaFrance Lecture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCultural Policy and Economic Development, 1967-1982\u201d featuring Dr. Sarah Brouillette from the Department of English Language & Literature.  Between 1967 and 1982 UNESCO organized dozens of meetings dedicated to the discussion of cultural policy. These meetings were the first sustained attempt to think about how governments could and should be disposed toward cultural funding and administration. This talk argues that this rise of the cultural policy establishment is inseparable from worry about economic development and modernization. It was the pressing economic catastrophes of the era that directly shaped UNESCO\u2019s turn toward culture as a prophylactic. But it was the permanent and ongoing crisis of integration of pre-capitalist enclaves into capitalist modernity that was the deeper source of the transformations that UNESCO sought to manage through its cultural programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture will be held on Thursday March 8th<\/sup> at 2:30 pm in Dunton Tower 2017 with a reception to follow.  Please RSVP to sarah.quirt@carleton.ca<\/a> by Wednesday February 21, 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vickers-Verduyn Lecture Annual Lecture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6:00-8:00pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robertson Hall, 608 (Senate Room)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies presents: The Vickers-Verduyn Annual Lecture in Canadian Studies, Dylan Robinson \u2014 Hungry Listening, Ethnographic Redress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Dylan Robinson<\/a>,<\/strong> is a St\u00f3:l\u014d artist and scholar, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen\u2019s University. His current research focuses on Indigenous art in public spaces across North America, and his publications include the collections Arts of Engagement: Taking Aesthetic Action in<\/em> and Beyond the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada<\/em> (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2016) and Opera Indigene<\/em> (Routledge, 2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hungry Listening, Ethnographic Redress.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> In 1929, folklorist Marius Barbeau writes about the significant collection of Indigenous songs represented in the Canadian Museum of History: \u201cabout three thousand of these are filed away at the museum.\u201d Though efforts have been made by many museums in Canada to respond to Indigenous calls for the return and repatriation of Indigenous belongings, similar initiatives have yet to occur for songs that remain incarcerated in museum archives. This talk proposes Indigenous-defined methods of ethnographic redress that challenge settler colonial forms of \u201chungry listening\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
