SUMMARY:Job talk by Aimee Bahng
DESCRIPTION:Aimee Bahng\, Assistant Professor of Gender & Women’s Studies\, Pomona College \nTalk Title: “Feminist\, Decolonial Materialisms and the Nuclear History of Settler Environmentalism” \nTalk Description\nWhile much scholarship on the rise of the nuclear age has focused on the concomitant rise of insecurities about body and environment under the duress of wartime\, this talk crafts a different but intertwined history\, showing how the transformation of the Pacific Ocean into a nuclear testing ground was parlayed into governmental projects for the remaking of life itself through the rubrics of securitization and financialization. Through critical readings of official state records and atomic research bulletins\, Bahng traces the narrative strands of “ecosystems\,” “regeneration\,” and “strategic trust” from 1945 on\, to show the structural connections among biopolitics\, ecocide\, and the foundations of international environmental law. To theorize a Pacific undercommons\, the talk ultimately inquires after alternative formulations of interspecies connection that emerge from feminist\, decolonial thought and queer-of-color critique as elucidated through the work of Larissa Lai’s transnational Asian American speculative fiction novel Salt Fish Girl and Marshallese poet Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner’s video-poem “Anointed.” \n

SUMMARY:Job Talk by Alison Bigelow
DESCRIPTION:Alison Bigelow\, Assistant Professor\, colonial Latin American literature\, Department of Spanish\, Italian\, and Portuguese\, University of Virginia.\n\nTalk Title: Mining Language: Extractive Industries and Indigenous Knowledge Production in the Early Americas\nTalk Description:\nBetween 1500 and 1820\, three out of every four people who crossed the Atlantic Ocean were enslaved Africans. They arrived to a continent where Indigenous people formed the majority of the population. The literatures of the colonial Americas thus differ from works produced in Europe\, but for most of its history\, our field has followed a European definition of literacy\, and has privileged European representations of Native people rather than works by Indigenous agents (Mt. Pleasant\, Wisecup\, and Wigginton 2018). In this talk\, I show how a combination of literary\, linguistic\, and material cultural studies approaches allows us to read around the silences and fragmentations of colonial archives to center the work of people who wrote “without letters.” My talk focuses on Taíno miners in the Caribbean and Quechua-speaking refiners in the Andes\, but my methods can be applied by scholars working in other world regions\, historical eras\, and textual traditions.
