All Together Now: Ethnic Crowds and Vernacular Media in ''Minority'' China - Talk by Jenny Chio, Emory University
Thursday, May 19, 2016, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Haines 352 (Reading Room), UCLA
Every spring, national delegates from across China gather in Beijing for the annual “Two Sessions,” the meetings of the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Congress. During these sessions, photographs of ethnic minority delegates dressed in their finest ethnic clothing circulate widely, authenticating national discourses of China’s “happy family” of 56 official ethnic groups, visibly claiming unity between minority and majority, periphery and center, and subsuming ethnic difference within the mainstream majority. In this talk, however, I juxtapose these commonplace national images against locally produced videos of ethnic festival crowds, where the minority is the majority. Such examples of contemporary vernacular media in rural ethnic China, made by amateur videographers, typically feature lengthy shots of the massed gatherings of people, dressed in their festival best. My aim in this talk is to examine how ethnic minority bodies, individual and collective, are being imagined in the body politic of China and as body politics in China. To do so, I ask: Why are these crowd shots so commonplace in rural videos, and what do they suggest in terms of how these ethnic communities see and show themselves as a polity and as a public? How might the visual presence of a crowd of ethnic minority sameness in locally produced videos speak against, or at least Jenny Chio is a cultural anthropologist and ethnographic filmmaker. She is an assistant professor of Anthropology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Her current research examines vernacular media practices, including amateur and semi-professional videography and documentary filmmaking, in rural, ethnic minority communities in Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Qinghai. She has also conducted extensive fieldwork on tourism, ethnicity, and rural development in China, published as her book A Landscape of Travel: The Work of Tourism in Rural Ethnic China (U Washington Press, 2014) and her film, 农家乐 Peasant Family Happiness (Berkeley Media, 2013).

Film screening: Dreaming Against the World
Saturday, May 21, 2:00PM-4:00PM
40 Rector Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10006
DREAMING AGAINST THE WORLD is a documentary portrait of Mu Xin (1927-2011), one of the most original and overlooked Chinese artists and authors of the past century. Born in Wuzhen, near Shanghai, China, into a wealthy aristocratic family, Mu Xin was among those in the last generation to receive a classical education in the literati tradition, while at the same time he was also exposed through voluminous reading to the highest achievements of Western art and culture at a very young age. A selection of Mu Xin's prose fiction, An Empty Room, was published in English by New Directions Publishing in New York in 2011. Last year the Mu Xin Museum in his hometown Wuzhen was opened to public. Filmed on location in China and New York by OSCAR® and EMMY® nominated filmmakers Tim Sternberg and Francisco Bello, DREAMING AGAINST THE WORLD is the story of Mu Xin and his incredible commitment to his artistic vision.
Joanne Wang, the Associate Producer of the film and the literary agent of Mu Xin's books, will give an introduction and the showing of the film will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. This lecture is in English. FREE |

Bill Bartmann may be the most amazing man you will ever meet. For one thing he has mastered the art of amassing millions of dollars, legally, ethically and with incredible rapidity and in a way no one else ever dreamed possible. In three years he made $137 million on revenues of $349 million. One year he earned $182,000,000 on $1 Billion in revenue. Inc. Magazine estimated his fortune at $3.5 billion with a “B”. The same man, was raised in a troubled home. He left that home as teenager, but only a few years later, drunk, he fell down a darkened stairway and was condemned to spend the rest of his life as a paraplegic. Immobilized and flat on his back and unable even to sit up, he went against his doctor’s orders and began to exercise, and after some months was able to move a toe. From that one toe he learned to sit, stand, walk, and eventually to go to college, become a lawyer, and then without using his law degree, a wealthy entrepreneur --- and one more thing --- the former paraplegic earned a Black Belt in Karate.
“One of the Top Entrepreneurs of the Last 100 Years”
- Apple Computer.
No wonder --- as a business owner he annually flew his 3900 employees and their families to vacation spots around the country. In Las Vegas, 5 ft 10 inch Bill Bartmann wrestled “Hulk Hogan” --- and won! Most recently Bartmann has been an advisor to President Obama, and he recently joined CIAM’s Board of Trustees as well. Thousands have paid to hear him speak and to learn his secrets. On this one day he is CIAM’s Graduation Speaker for the Class of 2016. He is flying from his home in Oklahoma for this purpose, and you not only get to hear him speak, but may actually talk with him about his concepts --- and it won’t cost you a penny. If ever there was a once in a lifetime opportunity, this is it! Everything is at no cost.
