--> Lisa Lowe, "The Intimacies of Four Continents"
----------------------------




5/19/04 (Wed) 
 Lisa Lowe, "The Intimacies of Four Continents"
 4:00PM
 In: 314 Royce Hall

Lisa Lowe's current project, The Intimacies of Four 
  Continents, is a study of the convergence of colonialisms 
  in the early Americas as the conditions for modern 
  humanism and humanistic knowledge. In her talk she will 
  share part of that project and examine the 'forgetting' of 
  Asian indentured labor, native-descendant peoples, and 
  African slavery within modern European liberal discourses 
  of freedom, and its 'return' in gendered racial taxonomies 
  that persist within the humanities today. 

  Lisa Lowe is professor of Comparative Literature at UC San 
  Diego, and a former chair of the Department of Literature 
  there. She is an affiliated faculty member in the Ethnic 
  Studies Department and the program in Critical Gender 
  Studies. Her research and teaching interests include 
  modern French, British, and American studies, and the 
  topic of Asian migration within European and American 
  modernity. She has published books on orientalism, 
  immigration, and globalization, including Critical 
  Terrains: French and British Orientalisms (Cornell, 1991), 
  Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics (Duke 
  UP, 1996), a coedited volume The Politics of Culture in 
  the Shadow of Capital (Duke UP, 1997), and a forthcoming 
  book, Metaphors of Globalization. 

  This program is free and open to the public. Seating is 
  limited, but registration is not required. For more 
  information, please contact the Center for Modern & 
  Contemporary Studies by email at modcon at humnet.ucla.edu,
