SUMMARY:RFG Talk: Drawing Deportation: Art and Resistance among Immigrant Children
DESCRIPTION:Drawing Deportation: Art and Resistance among Immigrant Children (NYU Press\, 2023) argues that immigrant children are not passive in the face of the challenges presented by U.S. anti-immigrant policies. Based on ten years of work with immigrant children in two different border states—Arizona and California—Drawing Deportation gives readers a glimpse into the lives of immigrant children and their families. Through an analysis of 300 children’s drawings\, theater performances\, and family interviews\, this book\, at once devastating and revelatory\, provides a roadmap for how art can provide a necessary space for vulnerable populations to assert their humanity in a world that would rather divest them of it. \nSilvia Rodriguez Vega is a community engaged writer\, artist\, and educational practitioner. She is an Assistant Professor at University of California\, Santa Barbara in the Department of Chicana/o Studies. Her research explores the ways anti-immigration policy impacts the lives of immigrant children through methodological tools centering participatory art and creative expression. Before joining UCSB\, Rodriguez Vega was a UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow and a Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellow at New York University in the Department of Applied Psychology. She received her Ph.D. from UCLA’s Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies. \nZoom attendance link \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:RFG Talk: Buddhists Whisper Down the Lane: A Burmese Novel and a Nepalese Nun Lost and Found in Translation
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Christoph Emmrich follows the cascading series of translations into three languages\, over a period of half a century\, from 1963 to 2016\, of the story\, told by a leading Burmese poet\, historian\, and monastic manager\, about a feisty Newar Buddhist adolescent girl child prodigy from a wealthy Nepalese family who joined a troupe of Assamese elephant hunters to cross the Indian northeast and reach a nunnery in a sleepy town on the opposite shore of the Bay of Bengal\, aiming to learn about the meaning of nirvana. In this talk\, Emmrich tries to solve not just the puzzle of nirvana but also to answer those questions posed by the iterations of a life story which\, as it crosses the boundaries of genders\, languages\, regimes\, and nation-states\, the protagonist tries repeatedly and in multifarious ways to re­appropriate as her own. \nChristoph Emmrich is Associate Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Toronto. With a background in the study of the Buddhist Therāvada and the Śvetāmbara and Digambara doctrines of time\, he works on Hindu and Buddhist Newar rites\, texts\, and material things involving poets\, priests\, girl children\, translators\, print pioneers\, and shopkeepers in the Kathmandu Valley and does some of the same in Burma and Tamil Nadu. His publications include Writing Rites for Newar Girls: Marriage and Menarche according to Kathmandu Valley Manuals (Brill\, forthcoming). \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group\, 84000 Buddhist Texts Translation Initiative\, and Translation Studies

SUMMARY:RFG Talk: Bhakti and Its Place in Subaltern India
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Maharshi Vyas will explore the intersection of studies of Adivasis\, Indigenous tribal communities in India\, and theorizations of the category of bhakti (devotion) in South Asian Studies. Drawing on archival materials and ethnographic research\, he will seek to provide hermeneutical space to the subaltern voices of the Adivasis themselves by providing an analysis of bhajans\, devotional songs\, originating from the Bhil Adivasi community in the language of Bhili\, an Adivasi language spoken in the mountainous borderlands of the Indian state of Gujarat. These songs offer insights into the self-understandings and aspirations of the Bhils\, the nature of the local deities worshiped by them\, and the oral-performative methods deployed by this Adivasi community to fashion a distinctive regimen of religiocultural practices that sets them apart from the institutionalized forms of bhakti discourse developed by transnational devotional movements such as the Swaminarayan Sampradāya. \nMaharshi Vyas is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His research interests focus on the religious and cultural practices of subaltern Indigenous communities in India\, with a particular focus on the Adivasis of Gujarat. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:RFG Talk: Fractured Fairy Tales and Subversion: Red Ridin’ in the Hood and Other Cuentos by Patricia Marcantonio
DESCRIPTION:Inside a cardboard box\, Mama packed a tin of chicken soup\, heavy on cilantro\, along with a jar of peppermint tea\, peppers from our garden\, and a hunk of white goat cheese that smelled like Uncle Jose’s feet.\nThat meant one thing.\n“Roja\, your abuelita is not feeling well\,” Mama told me. “I want you to take this food to her.”\n“But Mama\, me and Lupe Maldonado are going to the movies\,” I replied\, but felt guilty as soon as I’d said it. \nThese are the lines that open Patricia Santos Marcantonio’s fractured version of the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. In her retelling of this and other ten fairy tales published in the volume Red Ridin’ in the Hood and Other Cuentos (Farrar Straus Giroux\, 2005)\, the Mexican American author makes use of a series of elements to provide a Latinx version of these fairy tales to counterbalance the lack of representation of Latinx children in the books she read growing up in the United States. In this presentation\, Marina Bernardo Flórez will explore the elements Marcantonio modifies in order to subvert these fairy tales with a Latinx flavour. \nDr. Marina Bernardo Flórez received her Ph.D. in Representation and Construction of Cultural Identities at the University of Barcelona. She researches Chicanx children’s literature and carried out postdoctoral research as a visiting scholar at the University of California\, Santa Barbara (2023) within the Fulbright Program. She is a member of the International Research Society for Children’s Literature (IRSCL) and the Children’s Literature Association (ChLA). She is currently an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Barcelona. \nZoom attendance link \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group
