Episode 4: Representations
<p>This episode’s main focus is on media representations and how they are more complicated than just the reflections of subjects. This is primarily because the more we home in on a subject, the more we see the many multifaceted ways that subjects exist in dialogue with their surroundings. The dynamic potential of subjects is often reduced by way of how they are mediated, since there is no one fixed subjective reality, which reveals that recognizing the power over that mediation is crucial to understanding how subjects are constituted in society. Along the way, we’ll talk about the stress of the global pandemic, and highlight with music from fónes.</p> <p><strong>Sources and recommended readings</strong></p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a6cXZNgly8fm93hoJGCKvDbP_Yezn7uIwfKKS32wU0k/"><u><strong>Transcript for today’s episode</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Today’s retrospect:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2020/3/19/trump_anti_chinese_racism_coronavirus_covid19"><u>Democracy Now!

Episode 3: Queering Subjectivities
<p>This episode’s main focus continues the conversation of media narrative analysis, focusing on the internal negotiation of subjectivity and the process of reading and engaging with subjects. Primarily I confront narrative simplifications. Narrative simplifications of subjects are the mediated frameworks that can enforce hegemonic, linear, and binary presumptions of existence as subjective points of reference. Queering subjectivities dismantles these presumptions.</p> <p>Also today, I highlight a band from Seattle, NAVVI, who released an EP and album this past August, and I briefly introduce #QueerCinemaForPalestine, the group spearheading the boycott of this year’s TLVFest.</p> <p><strong>Sources and recommended readings</strong></p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_e_0HUYy3u4DHvHdqM5yXoRkKTwFDFW7c_DLyZlovP0/">Transcript</a></p> <p><strong>Today’s retrospect: “#QueerCinemaForPalestine”</strong></p> <p><a href="https://queercinemaforpalestine.org/"><u>Queer Cinema for Palestine</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://arabfilminstitute.org/10-queer-arab-films-to-watch-during-pride-month/"><u>“10 Queer Arab films to watch during pride month”</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIni_3TYg-A"><u>“The Palestinian Exception to Free Speech”</u></a></p> <p><strong>Today’s Highlight: “NAVVI from Seattle”</strong></p> <p><a href="https://navvi.bandcamp.com/"><u>NAVVI on bandcamp</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/N4VVI"><u>NAVVI on Soundcloud</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/N4VVI"><u>NAVVI on Twitter</u></a></p> <p><strong>Today’s main focus: “Queering Subjectivities”</strong></p> <p><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=wKytkq6sr3gC&pg=PA21&lpg=PA21&dq=deconstruct+power+relations+without+duplicating&source=bl&ots=LdJ19x6czS&sig=ACfU3U0kR1uOHrQowhcnyvlfDb4erKT6PQ&hl=en&ppis=_c&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiHzvjAw4HoAhUyg3IEHZsPBcQQ6AEwAXoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=deconstruct%20power%20relations%20without%20duplicating&f=false"><u>Randall Amster. 2012.

Episode 2: Chronotopes and Media
<p>This episode’s main focus centers around media analysis, particularly the type of analysis that facilitates a more diverse approach toward understanding and framing media subjects within various narratives. To that end, I explore the concept of the “chronotope,” offering some origins, definitions, and uses of the term, qualifying its use in media narratives and offering a contrasting comparison with the concept of the “archetype,” which is somewhat more popularized in global literature and media conversations. This analytical deep dive gets to the heart of how I approach media study. </p> <p>Along the way, I will highlight a band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Strange New Places, who released an EP this past October, and I will briefly discuss #WetsuwetenStrong, recent settler colonial mistreatment of Indigenous rights and sovereignty, and misrepresentation of Indigenous people and current politics as visible in media. </p> <p><strong>Sources and recommended readings</strong></p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h9SviuPhwLlCPoADON25ne9HzayvUL1rM6x01B_GnbU/">Transcript</a></p> <p><strong>Today’s retrospect</strong>: “#WetsuwetenStrong / Indigenous Sovereignty” </p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/32Ayv5V">Real Peoples Media and #TyendinagaStrong</a><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/stopdisplacemnt/status/1230935862256340993">Red Braid Alliance for Decolonialism and Socialism</a><br> The Intercept, <a href="https://theintercept.com/2020/02/23/wetsuweten-protest-coastal-gaslink-pipeline/">Article on Recent Wet’suwet’en resistance</a><br> <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6580747/indigenous-youth-occupy-melanie-marks-office/ ">Indigenous Youth in Support of Wetsuweten Hereditary Chiefs</a></p> <p><strong>Today’s Highlight</strong>: “Music and Human Rights in Northern Ireland” </p> <p><a href="https://strangenewplaces.bandcamp.com/track/this-city-2">Strange New Places on bandcamp</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/sep/27/basic-human-rights-are-being-rejected-northern-irelands-anti-dup-protest-music">A recent Guardian article about music and human rights in Northern Ireland</a></p> <p><strong>Today’s main focus</strong>: “Chronotopes and Media”</p> <p><a href="http://library.umac.mo/ebooks/b28005533.pdf">Bakhtin’s Theory of the Literary Chronotope</a><br> <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09687599.2020.1719041?scroll=top&needAccess=true">“Intersectionality and Chronotopes”</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViDtnfQ9FHc">“What is Intersectionality”</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPtz8TiATJY">“Intersectionality is not Identity”</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHTR-XF6MXU ">Russel Brand on Hot Ones</a></p> <p>---</p> <p><strong>About the podcast</strong></p> <p>The ethnomedialogue podcast is a bi-weekly audio presentation dedicated to the critical exploration of media narratives in the digital age.
