Join us for our second session of this year's Graduate Seminar Series on the topic of Feminism, Identity and Subjectivity.

The seminar focuses on feminist engagements with power and social relations from three different contexts. It involves the digital feminist activism in China, issues of naming and otherisation of Taiwanese diasporic women in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, and the affective dimension in Clarice Lispector’s novel, O Lustre (1946). Through these unique contributions, our panellists explore the multiple terrains of feminist activism, solidarity and theory.

Papers:

University of Oxford - Georgia Lin: “Legal” vs. “Preferred”: An Autoethnography on the Affective Consequences of Whiteness in Naming

University of Oxford - Lingchen Huang: Affective Bodies, Playing and Micropolitics in O Lustre by Clarice Lispector Digital Femininities

Ohio University - Eva Liu: MeToo activism without the #MeToo hashtag: online debates over entertainment celebrities’ sex scandals in China
