SUMMARY:Society for Cinema & Media Studies Conference 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Society’s annual conference provides a forum for scholars and teachers of film and media studies to present and hear new research; to provide a supportive environment for networking\, mentoring\, and collaboration among scholars otherwise separated by distance\, language\, or disciplinary boundaries; and to promote the field of cinema and media studies among its practitioners\, to other disciplines\, and to the public at large\, in part through public recognition of award worthy achievements and other significant milestones within the field. \nEach Spring the Society announces the location of the next conference and calls for proposals for open call papers\, panels\, workshops\, and screenings. Members and registered website users can post calls for papers and panel and workshop announcements to the Conference Bulletin Board to solicit presenters. Online submission forms are available in June for paper\, panel and workshop abstracts\, bios\, and bibliographies and film synopses.

SUMMARY:Ani Maitra talks to the Institute
DESCRIPTION:Ani Maitra is associate professor of Film and Media Studies at Colgate University. His teaching and research interests span the fields of postcolonial and diaspora media cultures and gender and sexuality studies. His essays have appeared in edited volumes and journals like Camera Obscura\, Continuum\, differences\, Film Quarterly\, Jindal Global Law Review and World Records. Maitra is the author of Identity\, Mediation\, and the Cunning of Capital (Northwestern University Press\, 2020). \nMaitra’s talk will be based on his book Identity\, Mediation\, and the Cunning of Capital (Northwestern University Press\, 2020). In this book\, Maitra calls for an urgent reevaluation of identity politics as an aesthetic maneuver regulated by capitalism. A dominant critical trend in the humanities\, Maitra argues\, is to dismiss or embrace identity through the formal properties of a privileged aesthetic medium like literature\, film\, or even the performative body. In contrast\, he demonstrates that identity politics becomes unavoidably real and material only because the minoritized subject is split between multiple sites of mediation—linguistic\, visual\, and digital—while remaining firmly tethered to capitalism’s hierarchical logic of value production. Only in the interstices of media can we track the aesthetic conversion of identitarian difference into value\, marked by the inequities of race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality.
