To Free Speech from Free Speech: Disability Aesthetics and Queer Marxism in Hou Hsiao-Hsien''''s A City of Sadness
Thursday, April 11, 2019
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
10383 Bunche Hall, UCLA
Talk by Hentyle Yapp, New York University
Michel Foucault notably identified the import of speaking truth to power through the Stoic practice of parrhesia. This notion becomes ever important with popular and activist demands for truth and transparency in light of “fake news,” state secrets, and the suppression of tax documents. Yet, the reliance on truth and transparency through the act of free speech produces a political paradigm that often turns to centrist demands, as “all sides” must be heard. Under dominant liberalism, both conservatives and radical leftists understand themselves as performing parrhesia and are framed as illiberal. In other words, parrhesia and speaking truth come to be limited when situated within liberalist logics.
This presentation asks what might happen if we free the concept of speech from free speech itself? What happens when political speech might be reimagined beyond calls for truth and transparency? Put differently, what might speech look like if not primarily informed through a liberal democratic tradition? To explore these questions, I turn to disability, particularly deafness and muteness, under conditions of colonialism to grapple with formulations of speech that do not fit under truth, transparency, and liberalism. In particular, I examine Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s classic and lauded film A City of Sadness (1989) and focus on its disability aesthetics. This film, which won the Golden Lion prize at the Venice Film festival, displaces sound and speech during Taiwan’s passage from Japanese colonial occupation to mainland Chinese colonization following the second world war. Rather than depicting true images of Japanese and Chinese colonial violence or privileging historical realism, the director notably develops an aesthetic of opacity and illegibility. Hou’s aesthetics, in other words, provide a political critique that does not rely on truth, repair, and recognition. Sound, speech, and silence intertwine across multiple media like radio, performance, and photography, offering indirect mediation as a way to disentangle free speech from liberalism. Further, Tony Leung’s deaf-mute character, Lin Wen-Ching, complicates the oft-presumed association between agential resistance and free speech. Ultimately, this film provides a space to trace a “queer Marxist” genealogy across two Chinas, as informed by the work of Petrus Liu, in order to free speech from its usual liberalist sentiments. By turning to this genealogy, we begin to reimagine different modes of critique, structural analysis, and subject formation beyond liberalism.

活动详情
许多留学生废寝忘食，最后只是为了争夺美国名牌大学不到10%的留学生名额。全美600万家公司中，只有2.5万家为海外员工办理工作签证，占比不到0.5%。中国学生的中签率仅为9.3%，即使抽中，靠工作获取绿卡最长可长达11年的时间。许多优秀的同学最终只能抱憾终止自己的事业，有的同学甚至都没有开始。据统计，国内有超过60%的成年人曾动过移民海外的想法，原因各种各样，因为教育，医疗，环境等等...不是每个人都想留在美国，但没有身份，连这种选项都没有。如果你也有同样的疑问，欢迎你来参加Fordham CSSA和Ashenberg Law Group联合主办的留学生实习以及工作实用知识专题讲座。你将有机会和Ashenberg Law Group资深律师当面咨询。 |

姜鎮英教授：您好！
我们是桂林医学院，非常荣幸与您联系。
中美两国之间的文化教育发展在贵会的带领下大力推进！提升了两国之间的教育领域合作，为在海外学习工作的华人学生学者提供了重要的指导服务，国内的高校、团体、以及个人都在贵处的指导下得到了优质的指导，为此，您们辛苦了！
此次联系您是希望能够得到您的指导帮助，我院计划19年面向海外招聘高层次人才，但是由于海外渠道的缺陷及其他方面的阻碍，信息无法在海外一些媒体渠道传播，所以与您联系，希望在此次的招聘宣传工作上得到您的指导帮助，引进人才来桂林发展。
江作青罗带，山如碧玉簪。绿树成林处，隐隐桂医园。桂林医学院坐落在桂林市，是本地的直属高等学校，在此次的招聘计划中，待遇一般高校能给的我校都能给，除此之外学校还提供：30万-1000万元的人才引进津贴，对于没有取得职称的人才只要一旦聘用直接享受副高级职称待遇，对于已取得副高级职称的可享受正高级职称待遇。其他学校有的待遇桂医都配备，且在基础上在适当性放宽，学校在此次引才工作上算是扭足了钉子。期待您的回复。
