SUMMARY:Developing Resistance against Online Grooming: From Linguistic Analysis to Practice-based Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Professor Nuria Lorenzo-Dus\, Swansea University \n4:30pm HKT (Zoom Seminar)\nRoom 7.45\, 7/F\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU \nDetails\nDeveloping Resistance against Online Grooming: From Linguistic Analysis to Practice-based Interventions\nProfessor Nuria Lorenzo-Dus\, Swansea University \nThursday 18 June\, 4:30pm HKT (Zoom Seminar) \nRoom 7.45\, 7/F\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU \nZoom link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/91153791667?pwd=QkNoTU9tSjhSdUtPbHFVaXB3S1Frdz09 \nMeeting ID: 911 5379 1667\nPassword: SE Seminar \n ||  \nAbstract\nThe Internet is often a positive part of children’s lives\, providing learning\, creative and social opportunities. Yet it can also facilitate abusive behaviours against children\, including grooming for sexual abuse. Exactly how many children are affected is unknown. Nevertheless\, numerous surveys offer alarming national and global figures about the increased incidence of online child sexual grooming. Victims often struggle and / or fail to tell anyone because they feel ashamed or guilty; some children may not even realise that they are being sexually groomed online for some time\, given groomers’ manipulative communication. My research examines online child sexual grooming as an internet-enabled communicative process of entrapment in which an adult uses language and other semiotic modes (e.g. images) to lure a minor into sexual activities online and\, sometimes\, also offline. In this presentation I will discuss how linguistic analysis can help inform our knowledge of groomers’ manipulative language and\, working alongside other disciplines and stakeholders\, contribute to developing detection and prevention tools. I will refer to specific work undertaken by a multi-disciplinary project at Swansea University: the Developing Resistance against Online Grooming (DRaOG) Project. \nImportant: This presentation will contain data examples (language\, not images) that\, whilst selected carefully to avoid as much distress as possible\, some colleagues may find upsetting. Please feel free to take a break from and / or leave the webinar space at any point if that is the case.  \n ||  \nBiography\nNuria Lorenzo-Dus is Professor of Applied Linguistics at Swansea University\, where she also serves since 2013 as Director of the Developing Resistance against Online Grooming Project. Her research expertise lies in Digital Discourse Analysis. Relevant funded projects she leads include examining ideological grooming online by extreme right and jihadist groups\, profiling online sexual grooming language\, exploring constructions of trust in crypto-drug markets\, and analysing the language barrier to engagement in youth justice assessment interviews. Professor Lorenzo-Dus has held visiting professorships at universities in Europe\, the Americas and Oceania.

SUMMARY:Literature and Complicity: Failures of Witnessing in Postwar Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Dr Ivan Stacy – Beijing Normal University \nSeminar Series\, 2019-2020 Second Semester \nAbstract\nIn this talk\, I will explore the relationship between literature and complicity in postwar fiction. I will begin by defining complicity\, and by describing the various forms that it can take. I will then outline what I see as the general relationship between narrative and complicity\, and the specific relationship between literary fiction and complicity: I suggest that narrative can be complicit with wrongdoing when it enacts or impels individuals into positions of culpable ignorance and connivance (i.e. looking the other way)\, and that literary fiction tends to draw attention and to critique such forms of complicity by thematising and embodying them within a reflexive textual framework.\nIn the second part of the talk\, I will examine three postwar writers form whom complicity is a central concern. Albert Camus’ The Plague and The Fall represent a shift from the notion of testimony as a form of resistance to a more troubled examination of failures of witnessing. The protagonists of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels tend to obfuscate and elide the details of their own complicity with wrongdoing\, but both The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans invite us to read past these narrative failings to identify the narrators’ culpability. Finally\, Margaret Atwood’s dystopias in The Handmaid’s Tale and The MaddAddam trilogy represent situations in which non-complicity is simply not an option. For this reason\, she explores forms of compromise as a means of negotiating non-deal circumstances in which complicity with wrongdoing is unavoidable. \n ||  \nBiography\nIvan Stacy is associate professor in the School of Foreign Languages and Literature at Beijing Normal University. The main focus of his research is complicity in postwar fiction\, and he is also interested in the carnivalesque. He has published articles on these themes in the work of Kazuo Ishiguro\, W. G. Sebald and China Miéville\, and on the American television series The Wire. He co-edited (with Arin Keeble) The Wire and America’s Dark Corners\, and he is currently working on a monograph provisionally titled Literature and Complicity which is scheduled for publication with Lexington in 2020. He has taught in China\, Thailand\, the UK\, Bhutan\, Libya\, and South Korea.
