SUMMARY:Exhibition | Her Rights: Money\, Power\, Autonomy
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition | Her Rights: Money\, Power\, Autonomy\nIf we are to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals\, we need to empower women in the economy and close gender gaps. But progress is unacceptably slow. At the current rate\, it will take over 100 years to achieve global gender equality\, according to World Economic Forum. What could we do better\, and are there any successful examples to learn from? Visit the “Her Rights: Money\, Power\, Autonomy” exhibition between 8 March and 2 April 2024 to be inspired. \nJointly organised by the Consulate General of Sweden in Hong Kong\, HKU Libraries and the HKU Gender Studies programme\, the exhibition underlines the need for action in economic gender equality. By raising six interrelated themes\, the exhibition discusses challenges and opportunities connected to economic gender equality. With timelines\, it also tells the history of Sweden’s gender equality journey through progressive policy and reform\, legal efforts and a strong women’s movement. \nTo kick off the exhibition and to celebrate the International Women’s Day\, you are also invited to the launch event. Please see below the event details: \nDate: 8 March (Fri)\nTime: 12:30-13:30\nVenue: G/F\, Main Library \nContent: Welcome remarks\, student sharing\, launch ceremony; Swedish refreshments are served after the event \nNote: Seats are limited and are on a first-come-first-served basis. \nFor enquiries\, please write to lib111@hku.hk \n♦ Register for the launch event HERE ♦ \n

SUMMARY:Paris Is Burning | Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:  \nParis Is Burning\nFilm Screening and Panel Discussion\n♦ Abstract ♦ \nIn line with Black History Month\, Women’s Month\, and Transgender Day of Visibility\, CCHU9079 Queer Art\, Performance and Cities and CCHU9007 Sexuality and Gender: Diversity and Society are proud to screen this movie live with guest speakers to discuss the film’s impact and influence on today’s globalized society specially the LGBTQIA+ community. \n\n♦ About the Film ♦ \nParis Is Burning is a 1990 American documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s\, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American\, Latino\, gay\, and transgender communities involved in it. Critics consider the film an invaluable documentary of the end of the “Golden Age” of New York City drag balls and a thoughtful exploration of race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality in America. In 2016\, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being “culturally\, historically\, or aesthetically significant”. \n\n♦ Speakers ♦ \nJennie Livingston\, Director and writer of Paris Is Burning \nJennie Livingston is a groundbreaking filmmaker\, known for lively storytelling\, nuanced character portraits\, and thoughtful explorations of identity\, class\, race\, death\, sex\, and gender.  \n​In addition to directing and producing\, Jennie is a writer\, photographer\, draftsperson\, educator\, and director for hire. At heart\, Jennie’s work is about how people create and re-create ourselves\, about what allows us to survive and flourish. We are\, despite the social worlds we create that constrain us\, more mysterious\, more animal\, more complex\, more noble. Qualities Jennie values in storytelling: wonder\, complexity\, and an understanding of what creates and preserves resilience in communities and individuals. \nWorks as a writer/director include: Paris Is Burning; Who’s the Top?; Through the Ice; Hotheads. Television: consulting producer and director on PoseFX. Projections for live performance: Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters for Elton John. \nCurrently\, Jennie’s working on a first-person hybrid feature\, Earth Camp One about losing five family members in a decade\, about queer identity and queer resilience\, and about walking through the world (and surviving) by invoking the powers of looking and listening. Look and listen for it in 2024. (You’ll laugh\, and it will make you think about your own struggles and choices.) \nKier Joy\, United States Foreign Service Officer \nKier Joy is a United States Foreign Service Officer with experience serving in Brazil and Hong Kong. He joined the Foreign Service in June 2019. Before joining the Foreign Service\, Kier earned a Master of Public Administration from Columbia University. During his time studying\, he also interned as a policy fellow for the United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere\, Civilian Security\, Migration and International Economic Policy. Additionally\, he interned at the United States Embassy in Mexico City focusing on human rights. He also holds two bachelor degrees from the University of Georgia in political science and international affairs. \nLa Chiquitta\, Drag Artiste  \nBesides constantly entertaining the followers of Hong Kong nightlife\, La Chiquitta has also graced other stages\, including corporate shows\, private parties\, university lectures and out-of-town appearances. Also considered a regular fixture in the theatre circuit in Hong Kong\, she has essayed several theatrical roles\, the most notable of them\, being Solange in Jean Genet’s The Maids\, produced by RyeT Entertainment in cooperation with the American Community Theater. \nShe officially became Hong Kong’s first recording drag artist when she launched her single\, Tranny in The House\, produced by DJ Stonedog and released under Volume Up Records. It was later followed by Party Responsibly\, which topped the iTunes dance charts for a week after it was released. Having gained media mileage and traction\, she co-produced and presented a reality webseries\, Drag It On: Drag Queens in the Making. She later organised Drag Overdose\, the grand meet-up of professional\, budding\, and one-night-only drag queens of HK\, for the city’s Pink Season in 2011. Every year since then\, her little party has become one of the most anticipated events of the LGBTQ festival. \nIn September of 2012\, La Chiquitta launched her media career as the presenter of the weekly radio segment\, Chiquitta Time\, on RTHK3’s From Top to Bottom. This paved the way for her own radio show with the same station\, The Gaybourhood\, with co-host DJ Stonedog\, which premiered in September of 2013 and ran for two seasons. \nShe wrote a contribution to a coffee table book published in NYC\, was featured in a magazine in SG\, and appeared on TV for a special mini-docu in Manila. Her face constantly pops up in various magazines\, newspapers\, documentaries\, and recently\, as the subject for the locally-filmed music video for Give Me Light by UK-based artist\, Mind Enterprises. Portraits of her taken by prolific photographers\, Tsewhat-Tse (Yale School of Art)\, Laura Simonsen (HK)\, The Gaunts (HK) have been on exhibitions\, photo galleries and art fairs locally and in various places abroad\, the most notable of which\, “The Drag Queen Last Supper” made it to the halls of Art Hamptons in New York. \n  \n♦ Rundown ♦ \n12:30 – 2:00pm |  1st Screening of Paris is Burning \n2:00 – 2:55pm   |  Discussion and Q & A \n2:55 – 3:00pm   |  Closing performance by La Chiquitta \n3:00 – 4:20pm   |  2nd Screening of Paris is Burning  \n  \n♦ Details ♦ \nDate | 28 February 2024 (Wednesday)\nTime | 12:30-4:20pm\nVenue | Rayson Huang Theatre\, Main Campus\, HKU  \nLanguage | English\nEnquiries | genderst@hku.hk  \n\n♦ All are welcome ♦ \n  \nThe event is sponsored by the US Consulate in Hong Kong and Macau\, HKU’s Common Core\, Gender Studies Programme\, and the School of Humanities. \n  \n♦ Register HERE ♦\n

SUMMARY:Christianity and Queerness: Affinities and Their Political Implications
DESCRIPTION:♦♦ VENUE CHANGED TO KK LG1.06 ♦♦ \nChristianity and Queerness: Affinities and Their Political Implications  \n♦ Abstract ♦  \nDespite the protracted opposition between Christianity and queerness\, there exists a fundamental affinity between being queer and being Christian. Vital to both are intimate associations that transcend accidents of biology\, and an interest in the way those intimate relations foster new forms of personal and social transformation. Christian negative theology counsels modesty\, skepticism\, and linguistic discipline in all claims on divinity\, thus placing limits on confident knowingness about human desire. This too finds affinity in queer theory’s commitment to putting established orders into question. I will use these affinities to think about the Janus-faced future of Christianity in East Asia. It can become complicit in compulsory heterosexuality\, reproductive futurism\, heteropatriarchal suppression of gender variation\, and homosocial authoritarianism. Or it can become a challenge to them through Christian truth-telling. \n  \n♦ Speaker ♦ \nPeng Yin is Assistant Professor of Ethics at Boston University\, where he serves as a Core Faculty in Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies. Among his current projects is Queer Unlearning\, exploring how queer experiments in living might help us rethink fundamental moral categories such as kinship\, vulnerability\, play\, fidelity\, bodily change\, and sexual knowledge. \n  \n♦ Details ♦ \nDate | 7 November 2023 (Tuesday)\nTime | 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm\nVenue | ♦♦ KK LG1.06\,♦♦ LG1/F\, K.

SUMMARY:Book Talk | Conspicuous Feminism on Television: Gender\, Power and #MeToo
DESCRIPTION:Conspicuous Feminism on Television:\nGender\, Power and #MeToo\n♦ Abstract ♦  \nIn Conspicuous Feminism on Television: Gender\, Power and #MeToo\, Anna Marie Bautista examines how the impact of the #MeToo movement on the larger cultural discourse has not only prompted a critical scrutiny of gender and power on television but has also leveraged its popularity to commodify both oppressed and independent women. This book delves into how the pervasive misogyny exposed by #MeToo has generated configurations of conspicuous feminism in shows like Big Little Lies\, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\, Insecure\, and The Handmaid’s Tale. These fictional depictions emphasize feminist themes relating to misogyny and abuse\, the silencing and deceptions that are preserved in order to uphold gendered power relations\, the challenging of established gender roles and identities\, and the integration of intersectional perspectives. Bautista explores how these representations indicate a more complex awareness of systemic misogyny in popular television series than in previous eras\, reflecting the impact of #MeToo’s aims to uncover and confront gendered inequality. Scholars of television studies\, gender studies\, and popular culture will find this book of particular interest. \n♦ Speaker ♦ \nDr. Anna Marie Bautista is Lecturer in Gender Studies\, American Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Hong Kong. Her teaching and research interests include various aspects of film\, television and popular culture studies\, particularly in representations of gender. \n♦ Details ♦ \nDate | 6 November 2023 (Monday)\nTime | 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm\nVenue | CPD LG.34\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nLanguage | English\nEnquiries | genderst@hku.hk / 3917 2820\n \n♦ All are welcome ♦ \n♦Register HERE♦\n

SUMMARY:Transpacific Celebrity: Xiao Hong\, Agnes Smedley\, and Eileen Chang
DESCRIPTION:The Committee on Gender Equality and Diversity and the Gender Studies Programme at the University of Hong Kong present: \nTranspacific Celebrity: Xiao Hong\, Agnes Smedley\, and Eileen Chang \nSpeaker:\nClara Iwasaki\, Assistant Professor\, Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Alberta \nDiscussant:\nNicole Huang\, Professor and Chair\, Department of Comparative Literature\, School of Humanities\, HKU \nModerator:\nElizabeth LaCouture\, Director and Assistant Professor\, Gender Studies Programme\, School of Humanities\, HKU \nDate: Wednesday\, March 9\, 2022 \nTime: 10:00 am Hong Kong Time \nVenue: On Zoom \nAll are welcome. Please register and the link will be sent to you before the event. \nhttps://bit.ly/CIwasaki \nThis talk focuses on the way three authors\, Xiao Hong\, Agnes Smedley and Eileen Chang\, circulated around the transpacific. All three writers are strongly associated with autobiographical writings and in the case of Xiao and Chang\, their sensational biographies (particularly their love lives) have frequently overshadowed their writing. All three women deployed their literary personae\, but their control over their image was never absolute. Xiao Hong and Agnes Smedley were friends and more importantly\, they circulated each other’s works and literary images. Xiao Hong sees in Smedley’s work a universal feminist struggle. Smedley sees in Xiao Hong a vision of a progressive and particularly Chinese proletarian feminism. For Eileen Chang\, her autobiographical novels remained unpublished until many years after her death because her stark self-revelation was inconsistent with the image of old Shanghai glamor that her earlier fiction had conjured up. \nClara Iwasaki is an assistant professor in the department of East Asian Studies at the University of Alberta. Her book Rethinking the Modern Chinese Canon: Refractions across the Transpacific was published by Cambria in 2020. \nThis event is organised with the support of the Center for the Study of Globalization and Cultures (CSGC) and the Department of Comparative Literature\, School of Humanities\, HKU. \nEnquiries: Georgina Challen – gchallen@hku.hk

SUMMARY:Postfeminism\, Love\, and Work in Japanese Literature: A Reading of Hayashi Mariko's Novel Anego
DESCRIPTION:Postfeminism\, Love\, and Work in Japanese Literature: A Reading of Hayashi Mariko’s Novel Anego \nAn online public lecture conducted on Zoom. All are welcome.\nZoom registration is required. \nDate: 3 May 2021 (Monday)\nTime: 12:00 PM (HKT) \nZoom URL: https://hku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_crRTvsfTTC2VBs72Fs1WHA \nFacebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/480574219757523 \nSpeaker: Dr. Luciana Sanga (Visiting Assistant Professor\, Asian Languages and Cultures\, Northwestern University) \nHow do labor relations and romance intersect in the lives of contemporary Japanese women? \nHayashi Mariko’s novel Anego (Big Sis\, 2001-2003) offers one possible answer. The novel depicts the quest of an OL (office lady) for love and marriage. It is in fact an updated version of the “office lady novel\,” which typically ends with the heroine receiving a marriage proposal and exiting the paid\, full-time workforce. But instead of such an enthralling happy ending\, the protagonist of Anego never finds a husband and even loses her elite corporate job. At the end of the novel the protagonist is still single and employed\, this time as a contract worker. In this talk I argue that Hayashi’s novel normalizes a new postfeminist female identity complete not as a subject-in-love but as a subject-into-employment\, be that contingent and underpaid. \nLuciana Sanga is a visiting assistant professor in the Asian Languages and Cultures at Northwestern University. She holds a PhD in Japanese literature from Stanford University. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in the Review of Japanese Culture and Society and Japanese Language and Literature. She is currently working on her book manuscript titled The Production of Genre: Love Novels in Contemporary Japan. \nModerator: Dr. Grace En-Yi Ting (Gender Studies\, University of Hong Kong) \nThis event is organized as part of the Gender Studies Programme Spring 2021 Seminar Series at the University of Hong Kong. \nEnquiries: genderst@hku.hk or 39174182

SUMMARY:Monumentalizing Victims of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery: Trans-Pacific Memorialization and The Politics of Representation
DESCRIPTION:Monumentalizing Victims of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery: Trans-Pacific Memorialization and The Politics of Representation\nAn online public lecture conducted on Zoom. All are welcome.\nZoom registration is required. \nDate: 31 March 2021 (Wednesday)\nTime: 12:00 PM (HKT) \nZoom URL: https://hku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Vv3nV732TsutRJvmAu1Mkw \nFacebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1571511993019474/ \nSpeaker: Dr. Lin Li (Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Clayman Institute for Gender Research\, Stanford University) \nThis talk examines the politics of memorials dedicated to victims of Japanese military sexual slavery (aka the “comfort women” system) that have emerged globally since 2010. I focus on two controversies sparked by these memorials\, especially one statue known as the “Statue of Adolescent Girls for Peace.” First off\, I discuss the debate over whether this statue reinforces the myth of the “perfect victim” of sexual violence. Building upon this debate\, I discuss why the equation of “comfort women” victims with innocent teenagers risks rendering invisible the diverse experiences of victims. Instead\, I seek to explore a perspective that is more inclusive and supportive of all victims’ experiences. Next\, I discuss “comfort women” denialists’ assaults on US-based memorials by highlighting how the surge of global right-wing ideologies and networks plays an increasingly aggressive role in the transnational struggle over historical memories of Japanese military sexual slavery. \nLin Li is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research. Lin received her Ph.D. in history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies. Lin is currently preparing a monograph manuscript that examines the trans-Pacific emergence and struggle over historical memories and narratives of Japanese military sexual slavery through museums\, memorials\, and popular cultural portrayals of this issue. \nModerator: Dr. Grace En-Yi Ting (Gender Studies\, University of Hong Kong) \nThis event is organized as part of the Gender Studies Programme Spring 2021 Seminar Series at the University of Hong Kong. \nEnquiries: genderst@hku.hk or 39174182

This is a ground-breaking film about trans characters from Hong Kong with women taking all the key production roles. \n\nRegister for a Zoom link:  \nhttps://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?guest=Y&ueid=72665 \nEnquiries: genderst@hku.hk or 39174182

SUMMARY:Is Gender a Disability? An Introduction to the Talmud and its Discourse
DESCRIPTION:Is Gender a Disability? An Introduction to the Talmud and its Discourse\nDate: 5 December 2019 (Thursday)\nTime: 11:45 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.\nVenue: Garden Room\, Jewish Community Center (JCC)\, 70 Robinson Rd. Mid-levels \n  \nThis talk considers the language of disability and gender within the particular context of the Talmud\, an important Jewish legal compendium that spans the third to ninth centuries of the common era. We will consider multiple legal categories of one’s relationship to the law within the Talmud\, such as hayav (obligated/liable)\, pattur (not obligated)\, and assur (forbidden and punishable)\, and the ways in which law plays a role in determining the behaviors of minors\, slaves\, those with disabilities\, those who are sexually nonbinary\, and women. How does Talmudic jurisprudence treat these groups when determining law\, and what might we learn about the way in which ancient Jewish thinkers\, and perhaps those in the broader ancient world\, thought about the relationship between law and identity? \nSpeaker: Rachel Slutsky – Doctoral candidate in Hebrew Bible\, Harvard University \nRachel Slutsky is a doctoral candidate in Hebrew Bible at Harvard University\, where she specializes in ancient Jewish biblical interpretation. Rachel received her BA with Honors from Stern College\, Yeshiva University in English Literature and Jewish Studies\, as well as an MA from the University of Chicago in Hebrew Bible. In addition to co-directing the Jewish Studies Workshop at Harvard and serving as a Jewish Studies teaching fellow in courses on the Holocaust and modern Jewish History\, Rachel speaks to both lay and academic audiences both in the US as well as abroad about biblical interpretation\, Jewish\, Christian\, and Muslim approaches to the Bible\, and Jewish history. She is currently writing a dissertation about the notion of legal discourse in the Second Temple and Rabbinic periods as an exegetical phenomenon. Rachel lives in Cambridge\, MA with her husband\, Jacob. \n*All HKU guests must register by Dec 1 2019\nHKID or passport must be presented at the entrance for security check. \nPlease register by email\nHKU staff and students: genderst@hku.hk\nJCC members: enquiries@jcc.org.hk

SUMMARY:Antisemitism and the contemporary temptation of conspiracy fantasy
DESCRIPTION:Antisemitism and the contemporary temptation of conspiracy fantasy \n  \nSpeaker: David Hirsh\, Senior Lecturer\, Goldsmiths\, University of London\nIntroduced by: Ben M. Freeman\, Activist\, Lecturer & Humanities Teacher at The Harbour School \n  \nEach new manifestation of anti-Jewish ideology begins with a critique of the old one. Antizionism facilitates a slippage from a largely Jewish critique of Jewish nationalist aspiration into an uncompromising hostility to an actually existing nation state. From a way of thinking about Israel and Palestine\, it tends to coalesce as an ‘-ism’\, a worldview\, an ideology. Antisemitisms have always positioned the Jews at the centre of all that is bad in the world; antizionism tends to do something similar. This paper looks at diverse critiques of Israel in their material and social contexts\, it looks at their actualisation in living social movements. It looks at how what has been presented as the ‘Jewish Question’\, a question premised on the exceptionalism of Jews\, has always obscured the antisemitism question\, a question about the construction of ‘the Jews’ as exceptional. The paper goes on to look at how temptations to conspiracy fantasy are finding opportunities today in the ‘new populisms’\, both left and right. \nBio: David Hirsh is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Goldsmiths\, University of London. His first book was a sociology of international humanitarian law\, ‘Law against Genocide: Cosmopolitan trials’. His recent book is on ‘Contemporary Left Antisemitism’ and it brings together narrative\, evidence and analysis of this global phenomenon but with a UK focus. David Hirsh was the founding editor of the Engage network and website which opposes campaigns to boycott Israel and also the antisemitism which is associated with antizionist politics. David also writes on the mainstreaming of the new populisms\, particularly in the UK\, in relation to the Brexit and Corbyn movements. He writes on political and social theory.
