SUMMARY:Feminist Revolutions Out of Reach
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Yanbing Er – Department of English Language & Literature\, National University of Singapore (https://profile.nus.edu.sg/fass/elley/) \nAbstract\nHow might a feminist revolution be theorized to account for its dissonant coordinates of spatial and temporal struggle? In response to this question\, this talk develops what I call a feminist revolution out of reach: a concept that registers the transnational and transtemporal geometries intrinsic to a feminist revolution\, which are destined to remain perpetually beyond knowable grasp. I show how this concept takes shape in an analysis of Ruth Ozeki’s 2013 novel A Tale for the Time Being\, through which a revolutionary modality characterized by its multiple vanishing points is revealed. To this end\, this talk articulates another way of reading and representing a feminist revolution\, written both into and out of existence by literary strategies\, and fundamentally beyond reach in its true eventfulness. \n ||  \nBiography\nYanbing Er is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of English Language and Literature at the National University of Singapore. Working at the intersections of feminist theory\, affect studies\, and twentieth and twenty-first century literature and culture\, she is currently completing a book manuscript entitled Feminism Enchanted. \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/98778746417?pwd=a2NBR2FHRGg4dis4dkNlZ1hjWlZyZz09 \nMeeting ID: 987 7874 6417\nPassword: 558532 \nLive broadcast will be available in Room CRT-7.45\, 7/F\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU.
