SUMMARY:Beauty and the Black:  Aesthetics Politics and Black Reproduction in Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Beauty and the Black: Aesthetics Politics and Black Reproduction in Brazil\nUgo Edu  \nChancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow \nDepartment of Anthropology \nUC Davis \n  \nWEDNESDAY\, APRIL 4  \n12:00PM  \nBlack Forum Room\, Haines Hall 153 \nlunch will be provided \nBased on ethnographic research in Salvador\, Bahia\, this talk explores the role of aesthetics in the construction and perception of what constitutes healthy reproduction and reproductive practices. I draw on women’s navigations within a Brazilian economy of aesthetics\, race\, and sexuality and the way these navigations shape and are shaped by processes and procedures related to the governance and measurements of reproduction and reproductive health. I focus on Black women’s experiences of contraceptive use\, attempts to acquire tubal ligations\, and family construction. I analyze the way that values\, sensibilities\, and affect that have come to adhere to particular appearances and arrangements\, have also adhered to the perception and apprehension of reproductive decision-making (seen and unseen\, articulated and not-articulated)\, reproductive health\, and family constructions. This work points to the importance of an understanding and recognition of the aesthetic underpinnings of health and biomedical systems. \nDr. Ugo Edu is a medical anthropologist\, currently a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California\, Davis. Previously\, she was the Science\, Justice\, and Health Equity Postdoctoral Fellow at the Health Equity Institute at San Francisco State University. She received her PhD from the joint Medical Anthropology program at University of California\, San Francisco/UC Berkeley\, with a designated emphasis in Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality. Her scholarship has a strong interdisciplinary approach to issues of aesthetics\, affect\, race\, gender\, body knowledge and modification\, and social justice. In her research\, she focuses on the politics of reproduction\, reproductive and sexual health\, and health inequities in both global and national contexts. She situates her work at the intersection of medical anthropology\, public health\, black feminism\, and science\, technology\, and society studies.

SUMMARY:Blackness and Borderscapes: Queering the Black Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Blackness and Borderscapes: Queering the Black Mediterranean\n \nSA Smythe  \nPresident’s Postdoctoral Fellow \nDepartment of Gender & Sexuality Studies \nUC Irvine \n  \nMONDAY\, APRIL 2  \n12:00PM  \nBlack Forum Room | Haines Hall 153 \n  \nIn this presentation\, Dr. SA Smythe addresses recent challenges in the regulation of legal residency and pathways to citizenship in Italy. Smythe reads contemporary Black Italian women’s writing to consider the stakes of cultural belonging\, human rights\, and the Italian literary canon in the constitution of the Black Mediterranean. They think alongside Black\, Trans\, and Mediterranean Studies scholars to expose the material and psychological violence of Frontex Europe and the legacies of colonial and fascist Italy by discussing the politics of citizenship and cultural production without relying on the desire to redeem or reconcile its legal hierarchies. \nDr. SA Smythe is a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Gender & Sexuality Studies at the University of California\, Irvine. Their book manuscript\, Crisis and the Canon: Shifting Representation Regimes in the Black Mediterranean\, is a transdisciplinary project that examines racialized aporias in the narration of italianità in the Black Mediterranean from the Risorgimento (Italian Unification) to the present. The monograph is a meditation on canonicity and citizenship in the wake of Europe’s self-initiated “crises” of migration and attendant levels of dispossession. SA is president and founder of the Queer Studies Caucus of the American Association of Italian Studies and publishing editor of THEM – Trans Literary Journal. SA is also a poet and an activist who performs and organizes in queer trans Black and abolitionist writing collectives across London\, Bologna\, Berlin\, and most recently Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:From Zamunda to Wakanda:  Celebrating 30 years of Culturally Diverse Design and Imagination in Film
DESCRIPTION:From Zamunda to Wakanda:\nCelebrating 30 Years of Culturally Diverse Design and\nImagination in Film\nfeaturing an evening with costume designers \nDeborah Nadoolman Landis\nComing to America (1988) \nand \nRuth E. Carter\nBlack Panther (2018) \nImagination has been key to the Black Freedom Struggle and Black cultural expression. No two places best reflect this point more than the filmic chocolate cities of Zamunda (Coming To America\, 1988) and Wakanda (Black Panther 2018). In celebration of Women’s History Month\, we honor the 30th Anniversary of Coming to America bringing it into dialogue with the new global hit Black Panther. This event will bring together the marvelous Academy Award nominated costume designers for both films\, Deborah Nadoolman Landis and Ruth E. Carter\, in a dynamic revisit of each film and a discussion of their paths to and through the films. 30-years-ago the world was introduced to the African chocolate city\, Zamunda\, as the titular Prince Akeem (played by Eddie Murphy)\, went on a global search for the love of his life. A worldwide classic then and now\, Coming to America\, especially as realized through costume design has lived on\, inspiring everything from weddings\, to birthdays\, to many subsequent films. 30-years-later the world has again witnessed the magic and power of African inspired costume design in Black Panther as the protagonist King T’Challa serves and protects his people and country from outsiders and internal strife. \nPlease join us March 26\, 2018 at the James Bridges Theater at 7:00 p.m.\, as we gather to honor the genius of costume designers Deborah Nadoolman Landis and Ruth E. Carter\, exploring the people\, ideas and the research that guided their visions and helped make the African dreamscapes of Zamunda and Wakanda a rich and lasting portrait of Black possibilities\, futures\, lives and love. \n  \nRSVP NOW!\nzamundatowakanda.eventbrite.com\n  \nCo-sponsored by: \nUCLA Department of African American Studies \nUCLA African Studies Center \nUCLA School of Theater\, Film\, and Television\nThe David C. Copley Center for the Study of Costume Design

SUMMARY:Tendayi Sithole: “Re-Reading Steve Biko in the Archive:  The Epistemology of the Interview”
DESCRIPTION:“Re-Reading Steve Biko in the Archive: \nThe Epistemology of the Interview” \n  \nTendayi Sithole | University of South Africa \n  \n  \nMonday\, March 5\, 2018 | 2:00 pm \n10383 Bunche Hall \nFree and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \n  \nScholar/Critic/Poet Tendayi Sithole: \n“The archive and the interview assume the place of the original because they are considered primary if not authentic texts.  Both are\, of course\, very important textual forms and more so if they are about important figures.  In this paper\, I want to re-read the archive and also the interview as important sites in understanding the knowledge practices of Biko under the context of the apartheid regime.  This will be done by engaging the interview that Gail Gerhart conducted with Biko in 1972 as the site of examination of the conception of the archive and the interview in re-reading the subjectivity of Biko.” \n  \nTendayi Sithole is an associate professor in the Department of Political Sciences\, University of South Africa.  He is the author of Steve Biko: Decolonial Meditations of Black Consciousness (2016). Professor Sithole teaches holds a doctorate in African Politics which was based on Achille Mbembe’s political thought.  Thematic areas of his research are black radical thought\, decolonial critical theory\, Africana existential phenomenology\, public intellectuals\, and literary studies. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the African Studies Center Speaker Series and is cosponsored by Professor Robin D.G. Kelley\, Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History\, UCLA Department of African American Studies and the African Activist Association. \n  \nFor questions/more information\, contact: \nUCLA African Studies Center | 10244 Bunche Hall | Los Angeles\, CA 90095-1310 | Telephone: 310-825-3686 \nWebsite: http://www.international.ucla.edu/africa | email: africa@international.ucla.edu
