SUMMARY:Inside the Mind of the Influencing Machine: Set Design in the Age of Cold War Television
DESCRIPTION:Join the Committee for Film Studies for the third and final lecture in our spring 2023 series that brings prominent film scholars into conversation with members of the Princeton community. This event features Weihong Bao\, Associate Professor of Film and Media at the University of California-Berkeley. \nTalk title\n“Inside the Mind of the Influencing Machine: Set Design in the Age of Cold War Television” \nAbstract\nThis talks considers “influence” as an atmospheric notion of media that binds mind and society at the onset of the cold war and rise of television. Influence\, in this context\, does not entail a one-way traffic but a structure of interdependence\, relying on a new notion of set design that orchestrates a system of responses and reactions that produces resonances and dissonances\, signal and noise. Situated at the early era of the People’s Republic (1949-) in the decade between the ideological campaign of Thought Reform (1951-1952) and Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) movement\, I examine how the “cool media” of television (McLuhan) reconfigures set design through a new set of technological and human assembly. With this framework\, I return to the site of television production\, not as the origin of signal dissemination\, but the node where issues of transmission\, amplification\, and reception informs and shapes the very production process. This understanding of television as wireless and human infrastructure reveals how the celebrated liveness and immediacy of television involved intricate task of coordination and synchronization\, putting a new demand on human attention and labor with implications on acting\, directing\, and editing. Probing the influencing machinery and aesthetics of television in connection with other media\, my talk highlights the tension intrinsic to influence caught between a climatic regime of power and aesthetic operations of resonances\, between spatial-temporal axes of enclosure and porosity\, stasis and motion. \nWeihong Bao is Associate Professor of Film and Media at UC-Berkeley. She is the author of Fiery Films: The Emergence of an Affective Medium in China\, 1915-1945 (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015)\, honored by the Modernist Studies Association Best Book Prize in 2016. She has co-edited two special issues Media/Climates (Representations 2022) and Medium/Environment (Critical Inquiry 2023). She is currently completing a book\, “Background Matters: Set Design and The Art of Environment.” The book examines the co-emergence of environmental thinking and set design from early to mid-twentieth century China\, across film\, theater\, architecture\, and television. She is the editor-in-chief for The Journal of Chinese Cinemas and co-edits the “film theory in media history” book series published by Amsterdam University Press. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nThe spring 2023 lecture series is sponsored by the Humanities Council’s Committee for Film Studies. \nPlease email program manager Margo Bresnen at mbresnen@princeton.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:The Background Fantastic: Ambient Fantasy from YouTube to the Metaverse
DESCRIPTION:Join the Committee for Film Studies for the first lecture in our spring 2023 series that brings prominent film scholars into conversation with members of the Princeton community. This event features Paul Roquet\, associate professor of media studies and Japan studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \nTalk title\n“The Background Fantastic: Ambient Fantasy from YouTube to the Metaverse” \nAbstract\nWhat happens when the heightened emotional environments of fantasy fiction and role-playing games are recruited as backdrops for the completion of everyday tasks? This talk examines the prominent role of fantasy settings in the spread of YouTube ‘ambience’ and ‘study with me’ videos\, as well as the fantasy backdrops so central to life in social VR. Situating ambient fantasy within the broader turn to magical thinking in twenty-first century American and Japanese popular culture\, I consider what it means to recruit the fantastic as an atmospheric resource for everyday mood regulation\, and what happens when these ambient horizons are enclosed within the algorithmic logic of commercial media platforms.​ \nPaul Roquet is associate professor of media studies and Japan studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of Ambient Media: Japanese Atmospheres of Self (Minnesota\, 2016) and The Immersive Enclosure: Virtual Reality in Japan (Columbia\, 2022). \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nThe spring 2023 lecture series is sponsored by the Humanities Council’s Committee for Film Studies. \nPlease email program manager Margo Bresnen at mbresnen@princeton.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Virtual Reality and the Feeling of Virtue: Women of Color Narrators\, Enforced Hospitality\, and the Leveraging of Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Many researchers and evangelists argue that V.R. is fundamentally more “moving” than other media because of users’ visual immersion in navigable worlds and their empathic identification with another visual perspective. (see Rubin\, Bailenson). This essay will analyze women of color’s labor as virtual reality’s documentary subjects whose digital presence and hospitality within war-torn\, emiserated\, and inhospitable scenes such as a Lebanese refugee camp\, a favela\, and a cucumber farm enables a fantasy of virtuous empathy on the part of the viewer. \nVirtual reality’s painstakingly created virtuous identity as the “empathy machine” satisfies desires for prosocial feelings of compassion\, empathy\, and identification that replace encounters with politics\, unwelcome bodies\, and protest.  Global South women of color\, non-white refugee women\, and trans women are all virtual objects of identification in virtual reality and video games\, platforms that are inextricably connected yet carry very different moral and ethical connotations. \nLisa Nakamura is Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor of American Culture at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.  She is the inaugural Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan and a founding member of the Precarity Lab collective (precaritylab.org) \nShe is the author of four books on race\, gender\, and digital media and gaming and is currently working on a book on women of color and the Internet.  Her areas of interest include histories of indigenous electronic manufacture in post-war America\, content moderation by women of color on social media\, and virtual reality’s claims to produce racial and gender empathy.

DESCRIPTION:Andrei Konchalovsky’s The Postman’s White Nights (2014)\, 90 min. \nShown in original language with English subtitles. Food will be served. \nFall 2017 Slavic Film Series: The Depth of Focus: Spatial Dissonance in Eurasian Cinema\nOrganized by Laura Christians\, Slavic Languages and Literatures \nRussia and the former Soviet Union are home to some of the most visually stunning locations in the world\, so it is no surprise that film directors would choose these spaces as the settings for their films and devote much attention to their portrayals… The centrality of location as a theme in the films shown in this series leads the audience to ponder the significance of space as an artistic device\, and also as social and cultural commentary. What is the relationship between geographic location and culture\, language\, and identity? How do the spaces that we occupy impact how we perceive and interact with the world? Do our locations define us? Do the inherent differences between regions render authentic communication across spatial borders impossible\, or do overarching unifying traits break down these walls? \nThis series presents a collection of films\, ranging from the 1920s to the present day\, that touch on all of these questions. The various directors do not merely use location as the backdrops for their films\, but they incorporate space as a cinematic device and a central theme.

SUMMARY:Slavic Film Series: The Island (2006)\, dir. Pavel Lungin
DESCRIPTION:Pavel Lungin’s The Island (2006)\, 112 min. \nShown in original language with English subtitles. Food will be served. \nFall 2017 Slavic Film Series: The Depth of Focus: Spatial Dissonance in Eurasian Cinema\nOrganized by Laura Christians\, Slavic Languages and Literatures \nRussia and the former Soviet Union are home to some of the most visually stunning locations in the world\, so it is no surprise that film directors would choose these spaces as the settings for their films and devote much attention to their portrayals… The centrality of location as a theme in the films shown in this series leads the audience to ponder the significance of space as an artistic device\, and also as social and cultural commentary. What is the relationship between geographic location and culture\, language\, and identity? How do the spaces that we occupy impact how we perceive and interact with the world? Do our locations define us? Do the inherent differences between regions render authentic communication across spatial borders impossible\, or do overarching unifying traits break down these walls? \nThis series presents a collection of films\, ranging from the 1920s to the present day\, that touch on all of these questions. The various directors do not merely use location as the backdrops for their films\, but they incorporate space as a cinematic device and a central theme.
