> JAPAN'S NUCLEAR CRISIS AND THE ATOMIC AGE EXAMINED
> *********************************************************
> From: Sarah Jane Arehart <sjfitche@uchicago.edu>
>
> Over the past few days it has become clear that the natural disasters in
> Japan have also sparked a human-made one, as the reactors at the aging
> Fukushima nuclear power plant continue to deteriorate in the wake of the
> massive earthquake and tsunami that struck the region on March 11th. In
> addition to extending our sympathy and concern for those in Japan, we
> would like to call attention to the need to think about-and act upon-the
> relationship between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy in our
> communities.
>
> The question of our relationship with nuclear weapons and energy is
> urgent for the health of our bodies, of democracy, and of the earth, and
> the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Chicago has spent
> over a year planning an upcoming symposium that addresses these issues.
> "The Atomic Age from Hiroshima to the Present" will be a day- long
> symposium on May 21st that explores our relationship with nuclear weapons
> and nuclear energy through documentary film screenings and discussions
> with a panel of experts. The goal of this symposium is to foster dialogue
> and provide resources and information for the classroom and the
> community.
>
> The program will feature two new documentaries, the first about the
> legacy of the Nevada test sites as lived by a woman scientist (Atomic
> Mom, by M.T. Silvia) and the second about a decades-long struggle around
> a nuclear-plant-siting in western Japan and alternative energy sources
> (Ashes to Honey: Toward a Sustainable Future by Kamanaka Hitomi). The
> filmmakers, both women, one an American, the other Japanese, will be
> present. In addition to the filmmakers, participants include Norma Field
> (East Asian Languages & Civilizations, University of Chicago); David
> Kraft (Nuclear Energy Information Service); Joseph Masco (Anthropology,
> University of Chicago); Yuki Miyamoto (Religious Studies, DePaul
> University); Sidney Nagel (Physics, University of Chicago); and Tomomi
> Yamaguchi (Sociology & Anthropology, Montana State University)
>
> As the situation with the Fukushima nuclear plants evolves, the Atomic
> Age blog will strive to be a thoughtful resource for information and news
> updates. Please visit the blog to share your comments, concerns, and
> questions about nuclear energy and weapons:

Seeking Panelists: Annual Conference on South Asia (reposted)
****************************************
From: Nusrat Sabina Chowdhury <nusrat@uchicago.edu>
Dear Moderator,
I am sending again the CFP for our proposed panel for the Madison
conference. In the post sent out yesterday the abstract came out all
jumbled
and was hard to read. This time I have attached it as a document as
well.
Hopefully it will look OK this time around.
Thanks much.
Nusrat Chowdhury

CFP: Annual Conference on South Asia, Madison, WI, October 20-23, 2011
Panel Title: Regimes of Representation: Theorizing Contemporary Politics
Organizers: Shefali Jha, Nusrat S Chowdhury (University of Chicago)
Discussant: William Mazzarella (University of Chicago)
In a familiar model of the political, a people assert its sovereign
status
in the right to choose and dismiss its spokespersons. Thus,
"representative
government" most readily springs to mind as the conceptual equivalent of
"democracy." While we know that the persistently chaotic forms of mass
politics in South Asia and elsewhere have posed a serious challenge to
this
hegemonic view, in this panel we seek to complicate the direction of
this
relationship between representation and politics. We ask how the
desires and
affective energies words and images tap into, that is, representation in
another sense, allow us a glimpse into the fabric of the political.
How do
existent and emergent regimes of representation contribute to the
making of
political constituencies? In what ways do they urge us to look closely
at
bounded spaces – neighborhoods, cities, nation-states – as sites where
specific vocabularies and institutions find a home and a performative
charge? For instance, secular politics reads the specter of terror
into its
other by marking certain spaces and vocabularies as backward and
dangerous,
while images of violence against the illegal migrant, all-too-easily
subsumed in the category of "terrorist," bring into relief the
intimacy of
terror and territoriality. Certain representations may also help erase
tensions between the logic of consumerism and the fantasies of
development
that often get laminated on the urban-rural spatiotemporal divide. How
could
our scholarly inquiries – ethnographic or historical – tell us more
about
these conflicts, terrors, *and* potentialities of democratic politics
today?
We seek contributions that speak to the concerns raised in the panel
about
the powers of representation in modern South Asian politics.
Please submit 250-word abstracts to Shefali Jha
(shefalij@uchicago.edu) or
Nusrat S Chowdhury (nusrat@uchicago.edu) by March 21 to be considered.
The
panel submission deadline is April 1, 2011.
