WGSS 66.06 Bodies and Technologies in Asian American Popular Cultures

From film, TV, and social media to the fringe punk scenes in between, this course explores the popular cultures of contemporary “Asian America.” By centering the bodies/embodied practices and technologies that produce Asian American popular cultures, we will ask historical questions about representation, power, and access, all with close attention to moving categories of race, gender, sexuality, class, and trans/nationalism. Ultimately, popular cultures—the critical, the joyful, and the terrible—will be our guide.
