SUMMARY:School of English Postgraduate Seminar Session
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Tai – Mphil Candidate – School of English\, The University of Hong Kong (https://english.hku.hk/people/Research_Postgraduates) || Fang Xuan – PhD Candidate – School of English\, The University of Hong Kong (https://english.hku.hk/people/Research_Postgraduates) || Monirul Huq – PhD Candidate – School of English\, The University of Hong Kong (https://english.hku.hk/people/Research_Postgraduates) \nAbstract\nWhat is Science?’ Discussion from an Integrationist Semiological Perspective\nJoseph Tai\, Mphil Candidate\, School of English\nThe question “what is science?”\, also known as the demarcation problem\, refers to the search for the criterion/criteria that separates science from non-science. However\, by the standards of philosophers of science\, no criteria proposed thus far have been able to definitively separate science from non-science. This talk proposes that the difficulty in solving the demarcation problem has a semiological basis\, and that it may be understood using linguist Roy Harris’ integrational semiology. Specifically\, from the perspective of integrational semiology\, how one understands science (as a thing)\, and by extension\, what activities one considers to be a part of science\, cannot be separated from how science (as a word) is defined. This talk proposes that one’s semiological leanings will affect how one answers the demarcation problem. \n\nFundamentals of Integrationism and Foundations of Meaning\nFang Xuan\, PhD Candidate\, School of English\nFor the seminar\, I will present a cursory outline of the research I have done for my PhD thesis. First\, I will explain the purpose of my thesis\, which is to address the long-standing issue of considering meaning from an integrational perspective: that is\, the discrepancy between the opaqueness of the nature of meaning\, and the transparency of meaning as a phenomenon. Secondly\, I will put forward the findings of my research: 1) that the meaning issue cannot be adequately handled by any semantic\, semiological\, or semiotic approach alone; 2) that every approach presupposes certain philosophical views. Thirdly\, I will discuss my studies of the impactful schools of thought about meaning that have held sway across the western academic tradition and disclose their latent philosophical positions. Finally\, I will delineate my reconstruction of an integrational philosophy and my construction of a corresponding integrational account of meaning.  \n  \nFinding Agency in the Face of Climate Change: Creative Expressions from the Sundarbans and the Pacific\nMonirul Huq\, PhD Candidate\, School of English\nThe Pacific Island states and the lower Bengal delta\, including the Sundarban\, are among the places most affected by planetary climate change. In response to the “slow violence” wrought on these places\, writers and activists hailing from them often resort to oral tradition and performative practices to emphasise the residents’ “environmental identities” and “environmental heritage\,” both connected to the land they inhabit. Acknowledging the essential differences in perceiving and reacting to the Anthropocene\, this paper discusses how creative expressions situate the residents of these two regions in relation to the land to reinforce their identities and to proclaim their agency as climate warriors. Despite the disparities between these practices and the distinct geographical positions of these places\, this paper highlights the way cultural productions from distant regions may complement each other and bring into view a new kind of cosmopolitics oriented toward a common world composed through agency distributed across ecological borders. \n  \n ||  \nBiography\n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/95537801179?pwd=cXYwSlh0bzZjSXpBNk5YNWtXZXREdz09 \nMeeting ID:    955 3780 1179\nPassword:      150496 \nIn view of the current pandemic situation\, all face-to-face events or activities shall be suspended in accordance to the notice issued by Task Force.

SUMMARY:Opium Addiction and Forms of Empire
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Menglu Gao – Visiting Assistant Professor\, English Department – Colby College (https://www.colby.edu/directory/profile/mgao/) \nFriday\, 9:30 am \nAbstract\nIn the essayist Thomas De Quincey’s notorious Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821)\, the protagonist describes opium’s psychoactive effects as “found[ing] its empire on spells of pleasure.” In this and myriad other nineteenth-century writings\, the encounter between opium and “empire” serves as a significant rhetorical device that sparks questions about the connections among peoples\, nations\, and individual bodies. The seminar is built on a quite obvious premise: substance use was often politicized in the nineteenth century\, in the sense that it could be associated with “abnormal\,” marginalized groups marked by race\, gender\, class\, health status\, or other factors. Starting from this premise of modern individuals’ susceptibility to the power of normalization\, the seminar shows that addiction was a conduit for imagining the structure of empire instead of merely being an actual consequence of imperialism. In particular\, I will focus on one example: how Dickens’s The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1870) mimics and reflects on the method of imperial knowledge making\, including the way Orientalism and racialization work. \n ||  \nBiography\nMenglu Gao is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the English Department at Colby College. She is the recipient of prizes and fellowships from\, among others\, the Buffett Institute\, the Midwest Victorian Studies Association\, and the Consortium for History of Science\, Technology and Medicine. \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/93305162283?pwd=eDc1Ny9aaldIdDVISXVkZXVuaHZpdz09 \nMeeting ID: 933 0516 2283\nPassword: 735745 \nIn view of the current pandemic situation\, all face-to-face events or activities shall be suspended in accordance to the notice issued by Task Force.

SUMMARY:Speaking Otherwise: Feminist Refusal\, Silence\, and Transnational Trauma in Chang-Rae Lee’s A Gesture Life
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jerrine Tan – Assistant Professor\, Department of English – City University of Hong Kong (https://jerrinetan.squarespace.com/) \nAbstract\nThe assertion of national powers and enforcement of authority in wartime are often inscribed through the enactment of sexual violence on women’s bodies. This talk will read Korean American writer Chang-Rae Lee’s A Gesture Life\, which broaches the issue of military “comfort women” —women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during WWII— and their representation (or lack thereof) in Japanese (and global) memory. Analyzing the novel alongside theorists such as Barbara Johnson and Saidiya Hartman\, this talk examines the occlusion of the female voice to consider the impossibility of representation and the disingenuousness of discourse\, in order to offer a way of recuperating a silenced voice. In my larger project\, I draw attention to the figures of female suffering that lie at the center of certain transnational novels to show how these novels are powerful for their ability to make this pain into an allegory for other forms of historical violence while maintaining a feminist focus on the issue of misogyny. \n ||  \nBiography\nJerrine Tan was born and raised in Singapore. She received her BA in English and Economics from UC Berkeley and her MA and PhD in English from Brown University. She is currently an assistant professor at City University Hong Kong and previously taught Global Anglophone Literature in the English department at Mount Holyoke College. Her research interests include Transnational Asian Literature and Film\, Contemporary Fiction\, 20th century American Literature\, Gender and Sexuality Studies\, and Film. Her international approach to research has been supported by various international fellowships\, including the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service)\, the Japan Foundation\, Brown University\, and Fudan University. Her academic essays have been published or are forthcoming in Modern Fiction Studies\, Wasafiri\, and the Cambridge Companion to Kazuo Ishiguro. Her essays have also been featured on popular platforms such as Literary Hub\, WIRED\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, and Asian American Writers' Workshop. \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/94328637377?pwd=cnY0eVpaNm5DRmlFaE1UZkRDaitGdz09 \nMeeting ID: 943 2863 7377\nPassword: 735745 \nIn view of the current pandemic situation\, all face-to-face events or activities shall be suspended in accordance to the notice issued by Task Force.

SUMMARY:“The New Economy and the Old Morality”: Wells\, Forster\, and Edwardian Liberalism
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nan Zhang – Associate Professor – Fudan University (https://english.hku.hk/people/Affiliates/116/Dr_Nan_Zhang) \nTuesday \nAbstract\nThis talk examines how the novels of H. G. Wells and E. M. Forster represent the transmutation of British liberalism at the turn of the twentieth century. It analyzes a strain of liberal thinking that connects to and diverges from the advocacies of both the New Liberalism and Fabian socialism\, reformist doctrines that reshaped the political topography of Edwardian England. Focusing on depictions of “the new economy and the old morality” by both writers\, I argue that Edwardian literature vividly captures the internal complexity and variability of British liberalism in the early twentieth century. The talk extends recent scholarship that calls attention to the affective and ethico-aesthetic dimensions of liberalism. It demonstrates how the mutually informing relationship between Edwardian liberalism and literature enriches our understanding of the subtleties of liberal culture in the twentieth century and beyond. \n ||  \nBiography\nNan Zhang is an Associate Professor of English Literature at Fudan University and a Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong. She received her Ph.D. in English Literature from Johns Hopkins University. She has published a book on Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group\, and is currently finishing her second monograph\, “Solemn Progress”: Modernism\, Social Constitution\, and the Politics of Cosmopolitan Virtue\, which explores global modernist negotiations with various forms of cosmopolitan virtue. Her new book project examines the interplay between Edwardian liberalism and literature and its transcultural implications. Her articles have appeared or are forthcoming in Modern Fiction Studies\, Modernist Cultures\, Journal of East-West Thought\, and elsewhere. She is a co-founder and currently chair of the Modernist Studies in Asia research network\, and has been awarded international fellowships for her research\, including the 2020 Humanities Research Centre Fellowship at the Australian National University and British Academy Seed Funding in 2019. \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/91794677602?pwd=ZmJSbndoZVJCUE1QYWJqakxKVGVXQT09 \nMeeting ID: 917 9467 7602\nPassword: 735745 \nIn view of the current pandemic situation\, all face-to-face events or activities shall be suspended in accordance to the notice issued by Task Force.

SUMMARY:Novel Theory Beyond Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Michaela Bronstein – Assistant Professor – Department of English\, Stanford University (https://english.stanford.edu/people/michaela-bronstein) \n9:30 am \nAbstract\nWhy do critics persistently seek the politics of fiction in novels about anything but politics? This talk argues that the novel of politics has been sidelined in theories of the novel because novels about political action foreground the limits of the novel’s ability to treat literary mimesis as a model of representative democracy. Rather than focus on the ways novels represent a more capacious vision of society\, novels of politics foreground a politics of action instead of representation or vision. They ask us to think not of the better world we might desire\, but of the compromised\, difficult means available to get us there. \n ||  \nBiography\nDr. Michaela Bronstein is an Assistant Professor in the English Department at Stanford University. She works on modernism and 20th-century fiction more broadly in American\, British\, and African contexts. Her first book\, Out of Context (Oxford)\, was shortlisted for the MSA first book prize. Articles by her have appeared in Novel\, PMLA\, American Literary History\, the Journal of Modern Literature\, Modern Language Quarterly\, and elsewhere. Her book in progress examines novels about acts of revolutionary violence. \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/96357063374?pwd=MFhoc3FUL2p0VjNQaHJUT1U0c2l0UT09  \nMeeting ID: 963 5706 3374 \nPassword: 607408 \nIn view of the current pandemic situation\, all face-to-face events or activities shall be suspended in accordance to the notice issued by Task Force.

SUMMARY:Migration Discourses and Nostalgia
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Charlotte Taylor – Senior Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics (English) – School of Media\, Arts and Humanities\, University of Sussex (https://profiles.sussex.ac.uk/p329327-charlotte-taylor) \nAbstract\nIn this talk\, I discuss the presence and role of nostalgia in contemporary discourses of migration in the UK. I start by examining nostalgia in immigration discourses and take the case-study of the Windrush generation to illustrate how we can empirically test for nostalgia in current representations by focussing on a single linguistic feature: metaphor. Through this analysis\, narratives such as the warm history of welcome are reconsidered as recurring rhetorical devices that legitimate hostility. In the second phase\, I focus on nostalgia around emigration from the UK\, identifying mismatches in how movement from the UK has been framed at different points in time\, including the erasure of forced mobility. I argue that nostalgia around past mobility is integral to the maintenance of hostile discourses of immigration because it backgrounds and elides shared experiences of migration between so-called static and mobile populations. \n ||  \nBiography\nDr. Charlotte Taylor is Senior Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics at University of Sussex. Her research focuses on the relationship between language and conflict using the methodologies of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis. Her publications include Corpus Approaches to Discourse (with Anna Marchi)\, Exploring Silence and Absence in Discourse (with Melani Schroeter)\, Mock Politeness in English and Italian\, and Patterns and Meanings in Discourse (with Alan Partington and Alison Duguid). \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/97904392360?pwd=MlRVQTZiT3JwOXgrRTFJNmZ1VnBudz09  \nMeeting ID: 979 0439 2360 \nPassword: 429877 \nIn view of the current pandemic situation\, all face-to-face events or activities shall be suspended in accordance to the notice issued by Task Force.

SUMMARY:Religious Conviction on the 18th Century Stage: Representing Confessional Commitment in an age of Toleration
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Brandon Chua – Assistant Professor of English – School of English\, The University of Hong Kong (https://english.hku.hk/people/Faculty/85/Dr_Brandon_Chua) \nAbstract\nRecent studies of the British Enlightenment have turned to a site of cultural production traditionally overlooked in Enlightenment scholarship: the playhouses of Eighteenth Century London. This work-in-progress paper takes up this revisionist inquiry of Georgian theatrical entertainment by exploring the ways in which the medium of Georgian theatre was uniquely positioned to tackle one of the central quandaries posed by Enlightenment sociability: the contested place of religious conviction within a state established on principles of religious diversity. I take as a case study a body of early Hanoverian drama centred around plots of inter-faith marriage\, paying particular attention to the ways in which Georgian theatre contributed to debates about toleration by asking what new forms of gendered and sexual identities were attendant in a public landscape reconstituted by the imperatives of confessional pluralism. \n ||  \nBiography\nDr. Brandon Chua gained his PhD in English Literature from The University of Melbourne. He specialises in British Literature written in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries\, with a particular focus on the ways in which literary texts from this period explore the relationship between liberty and subjection. His recent monograph Ravishment of Reason: Government and the Heroic Idioms of the Late Stuart Stage (Bucknell University Press\, 2014) concentrates on dramatic texts by William Davenant\, John Dryden\, Aphra Behn\, Nathaniel Lee\, and John Crowne\, and demonstrates how emerging understandings of the human body and its affective drives generate new dramatic visions of sovereignty and subjection in the later seventeenth century. His new research project\, funded by the Research Grants Council’s Early Career Scheme\, studies early modern understandings of diversity in the context of religious schism and conflict. \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/99644367646?pwd=ZkVCNG96ZU5GamNDd2VZeHlvT0crdz09  \nMeeting ID: 996 4436 7646 \nPassword: 585447  \nIn view of the current pandemic situation\, all face-to-face events or activities shall be suspended in accordance to the notice issued by Task Force.

SUMMARY:Anthropocene Storytelling: Homecoming or Far from Home?
DESCRIPTION:Professor David Farrier – Professor of Literature and the Environment – School of Literature\, Languages and Culture\, The University of Edinburgh (https://www.ed.ac.uk/profile/david-farrier) \nAbstract\nThe collapse of Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier—forecast to occur before the end of the decade—could raise global sea level by three metres. The grounding line\, eroded by currents of warm water\, is arguable the most important place on Earth right now\, yet it lies two kilometres beneath the ice’s surface and thousands of kilometres from the nearest human settlement. Thwaites shows that in Anthropocene stories\, the background is often the most critical location. Drawing on recent trends in environmental literature to bring the background to the foreground\, and focusing in particular on Alexandra Kleeman's Something New Under the Sun (2021)\, I will explore the challenges of telling Anthropocene stories.  \n ||  \nBiography\nProfessor David Farrier is the author of Footprints: In Search of Future Fossils (2020) and Anthropocene Poetics: Deep Time\, Sacrifice Zones\, and Extinction (2019). He teaches at the University of Edinburgh. \n ||  \nZoom Details\nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/97624487782?pwd=MlZkOGk2NldxUGl5MW0xMm9UV2dxUT09  \nMeeting ID: 976 2448 7782 \nPassword: 110980  \nIn view of the current pandemic situation\, all face-to-face events or activities shall be suspended in accordance to the notice issued by Task Force.

SUMMARY:Between Abjection and Refusal: Yellow Feminism in The Bacchus Lady
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jerrine Tan – Assistant Professor – Department of English\, City University of Hong Kong (https://scholars.cityu.edu.hk/en/persons/jerrine-eewen-tan(d1550de2-49b0-46e9-9efe-5f7eb53cf603).html) \nAbstract\nAnne Cheng notes in Ornamentalism that\, “We say black women\, brown women\, white women\, but not yellow women.” Cheng's statement\, which is as much an indictment as an observation\, serves as my starting point in asking: what does a yellow feminism look like? In attempting to craft one possible way of thinking about "yellow feminism\," and in beginning to build an archive for how we might examine and define it\, I turn to E J-yong’s 2016 film\, The Bacchus Lady\, about an elderly sex worker who comes to care for a Korean-Filippino (known as Kopino) child. Reading The Bacchus Lady alongside Bonnie Honig’s study of the Bacchae in her latest book\, A Feminist Theory of Refusal\, I adumbrate one form of radical yellow feminism\, rooted in a historically\, culturally\, and politically South Korean experience and practice. I argue that E J-yong’s film demonstrates its feminist commitments by crafting a complex woman heroine who embodies a radical politics of care in the face of cruel late-stage capitalism\, models a radical queer communitarian politics\, and\, finally\, self-reflexively takes to task not only the male director but also the voyeuristic viewer. \n ||  \nBiography\nJerrine Tan is an Assistant Professor in the English department at City University Hong Kong. She received her PhD from Brown University and was previously Visiting Lecturer in Global Anglophone Literature at Mount Holyoke College.

SUMMARY:Orchestrated Openings:  Establishing Intimacy-at-a-distance in Video Calls between  Left-behind Children and Their Migrant Parents

In this work with Yumei Gan (Shanghai Jiaotong University) and Christian Licoppe (Télécom ParisTech)\, I explore the practices of managing openings in a situation where parents are separated from their children and they only encounter each other in a video-mediated environment. As a result of this\, these openings have a particular emotional significance. Based on detailed analysis of 56 video calls openings between Chinese migrant parents and their left-behind children\, we show that grandparents\, who are the caregivers of these children\, ‘orchestrate’ these openings. We demonstrate\, firstly\, that grandparents help to establish a parent-child ‘talking head’ configuration upon connection. We show\, secondly\, that after the establishment of mutual talking head\, both grandparents and parents expect the child to treat the production of this video-mediated configuration as sequentially implicative\, that is to speak and greet first\, and to greet largely. Our findings suggest that such orchestrated openings are an important component in the enactment of family bonding and intimacy across distances. \nBiography\nChristian Greiffenhagen is Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong\, where he leads the Video Analysis\, Science & Technology (VAST) Research Group. His research interests include conversation analysis (CA)\, video-mediated communication (VMC)\, human-computer interaction (HCI)\, and science & technology studies (STS). Current research projects are “The Practice of Peer Review in Mathematics” (GRF 14600218)\, which investigates the disciplinary specificity of peer review; and “Intimacy at a Distance: A Video-based Study of Video Calls between Migrant Workers and their Left-behind Children in China” (GRF 14602619)\, which studies the role of video calls in facilitating intimacy in multi-local families. \n ||  \nGallery

SUMMARY:Signs of the Time: Access\, Inclusion\, and Social Justice in Covid-19 Linguistic Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sarah Hopkyns\nAssistant Professor\, College of Education\, Zayed University\, United Arab Emirates \n4:30 p.m. (Hong Kong time) \nSigns of the Time: Access\, Inclusion\, and Social Justice in Covid-19 Linguistic Landscapes\nDr. Sarah Hopkyns\nAssistant Professor\, College of Education\, Zayed University\, United Arab Emirates \n  \nJanuary 25\, 2022 (Tuesday)\, 4:30 p.m. (Hong Kong time) \nOn Zoom: https://hku.zoom.us/j/91720519424?pwd=K3VaZktKaE1LUnZtZStoY3pCNGZvUT09 \nMeeting ID: 917 2051 9424\nPassword: 082175 \nWith live broadcast in Room 7.45\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU \n  \nAbstract\nAs the Covid-19 pandemic enters its third year\, with the Omicron variant in full swing\, there is an ongoing need to reflect on language practices in multilingual contexts. Covid-induced disruptions to habituated social practices and familiarized communication patterns have shone a spotlight on linguistic diversity and issues of access\, inclusion\, and social justice. Linguistic hierarchies and power relations can be revealed through inclusion and exclusion of certain languages on public signage\, and especially locally produced impromptu messages are authentic ‘signs of the time’ (Kalman 2020). In a crisis\, often only official languages and English are used by default for communicating health warnings. The exclusion of peripheral languages from crisis communication\, known as ‘disaster linguicism’ (Uekusa\, 2019)\, has been found in multiple contexts globally. \nThis presentation shares findings from a linguistic landscaping study taking place in the multilingual city of Abu Dhabi\, United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the onset of the pandemic. Although the UAE has Arabic as its official language and English as a de facto lingua franca\, over 100 other languages are spoken in the nation due to transnational workers constituting approximately 89 per cent of the population. In the study\, two Abu Dhabi live-work contexts (a beachside community and an industrial site) were explored through ‘walking ethnographies’ with an analysis of a corpus of 326 top-down and bottom-up signs.  Through nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon\, 2003)\, language\, images\, spacing\, prominence\, and location were analysed as well as intended audience and sociolinguistic implications. Key findings revealed mainly monolingual (English only) bottom-up Covid signage together with predominately bilingual (Arabic and English) top-down Covid signage. Although symbols aided understanding\, little inclusion of periphery languages could be seen. The findings shed light on existing inequalities in linguistically diverse contexts\, and the need to ensure access to information for all at a street level. The presentation concludes with future directions for Covid linguistic landscaping research and provides practical suggestions for greater linguistic inclusion in the Covid period and beyond. \nBiography\nSarah Hopkyns is Assistant Professor of Applied Linguistics at Zayed University\, Abu Dhabi\, United Arab Emirates. She received her PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Leicester\, UK. Her research interests include cultural identities\, language policy\, translingual practice\, linguistic landscaping\, and English as a global language. She has published widely in journals such as Asian Englishes\, Multilingua\, Policy Futures in Education\, and World Englishes\, and has contributed numerous chapters to edited volumes.

SUMMARY:How We Eat Online
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Hanwool Choe\nPostdoctoral Fellow\, Society of Fellows in the Humanities\, HKU \n4:30 p.m. (Hong Kong time) \nHow We Eat Online\nDr. Hanwool Choe\nPostdoctoral Fellow\, Society of Fellows in the Humanities\, HKU \n  \nJanuary 24\, 2022 (Monday)\, 4:30 p.m. (Hong Kong time)\nRoom 7.45\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU \nWith live broadcast on Zoom:\nhttps://hku.zoom.us/j/96628570157?pwd=VVFnUkE5YWgzNlJpcUhxbW52UU1KZz09 \nMeeting ID: 966 2857 0157\nPassword: 638644 \n  \nAbstract\nUsing interactional sociolinguistics and multimodality\, I investigate how practices of eating together and eating well are discursively and multimodally performed in two different online settings: eating together in mukbang (livestream of eating) and eating well in Korean expatriates’ everyday vlogs (video blogs of everyday lives). To accomplish online commensality\, mukbang participants make collaborative eating actions by incorporating spoken\, typed\, and bodily actions. Such collaborative eating actions contribute to framing mukbang as a shared mealtime\, while also constructing a virtual sense of togetherness. Just as mukbang provides an online space to eat together\, everyday vlogs provide a platform for vloggers to share how they eat well\, which is more than just healthful or luxurious eating styles. Rather\, it resonates with the ordinariness of what and how to eat in daily lives. The practice of eating well is also tightly linked to everyday identities of vloggers such as Koreans\, foreign nationals\, and local selves. Through highlighting how technologies connect food and eating practice to digital discourse\, my talk provides a better understanding of how digital communication about and involving food embodies the sociocultural values of eating together and eating well. \nBiography\nHanwool Choe is currently a postdoctoral fellow for the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at the University of Hong Kong.
