May 16 The Frondeuse: Making the Modern Girl French. 2:30 PM, 226 Communications Building. Speaker: Mary Louise Roberts (History, University of Wisconsin-Madison) May 16 Workshop: Sex and Ethnography: Dubbing Culture (Part of the series " Thinking Sex in Transnational Times"). 3:00 PM, 206 Communications Bldg.. Speaker: Tom Boellstorff, Anthropology, UC Irvine. Tom Boellstorff's paper suggests that while there has been increasing interest in sexualities (particularly non-normative sexualities) as transnational objects of study, we have few theoretical frameworks with which to understand the "globalization" of sexuality. In it, he draws upon his ethnographic and activist work with gay Indonesians with two goals: to better understand their sexual lifeworlds, and to develop a more robust theory for the translocation of sexual subject-positions. Ethnographically, he will focus upon the role of "globalizing" mass media in gay Indonesian lives. Key among the theoretical issues he will raise is the possibility of non-threatening and non-antagonistic relationships to processes of cultural globalization, and also the non-linear relationship between globalizing processes and class (in other words, that lower-class persons are not necessarily less "globalized" than elites). Thinking Sex in Transnational Times is a year-long series of free public lectures that explores sex across different epistemologies, spaces, regions, epochs, and disciplines. For more information, please visit . Copies of the workshop readings are available at the Simpson Center, 206 Communications. Registration is required; spaces are limited.
