Something To Do
There is a lecture on UCLA's campus this Wednesday that I think many of you may find interesting and worthy of attending. Here are the details:
Center For the Study of Women Presents:
'Oedipus Raced, or the Child Queered by Color'
A Talk with Kathryn Stockton, Sponsored by the Center for the Study of Women.
Date: Wednesday, December 03, 2008
Time: 4:00PM - 6:00PM
Location: Humanities Room 193
Admission: Free and open to the public
Contact: Center for the Study of Women
(310) 825-0590
csw@csw.ucla.edu
Web site: Calendar of events
Description:
Drawn from her forthcoming book, The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century, this talk theorizes how the category of the child is queer, in broad and narrow senses, both racially and sexually, even up through the 1990s. Specifically, the lecture offers a crossing: the point at which the ghostliness of the gay child lends certain meanings to the child queered by color (who, in some cases, might also be gay). Two important films on American race, Guess Whos Coming to Dinner? (1967) and Six Degrees of Separation (1993), show how race relations are haunted by the issuesreally, the spectersof gay children, spawning new slants on psychoanalysis, architectural theory, so-called liberal parenting, and concepts of childhood.
I, myself, plan to attend. Perhaps I'll see some of you there.
