Disorienting Politics: Chimerican Media and Transpacific Entanglements

Speaker: Fan Yang (杨帆), Professor, Department of Media and Communication Studies, University of Maryland, Baltimore County

Respondent: Nianshen Song (宋念申), Professor at the Tsinghua Institute of Advanced Studies, Tsinghua University

Moderator: Daniel Vukovich, Professor and Chair, Department of Comparative Literature, HKU

Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2024
Time: 4:00 pm Hong Kong Time
Venue: Room 758, 7/F, Run Run Shaw Tower, HKU

Professor Yang’s new book, Disorienting Politics: Chimerican Media and Transpacific Entanglements, mines 21st-century media artifacts—including films like The Martian and TV media such as Firefly and House of Cards—to make visible the economic, cultural, political, and ecological entanglements of China and the United States. Describing these transpacific entanglements as “Chimerica”—coined by economic historians to reference the symbiosis of China and America—Yang examines how Chimerican media, originating in the US but traversing national boundaries in their production, circulation, and consumption, co-create the figure of rising China and extend a political imagination beyond the conventional ground of the nation.

Fan Yang (杨帆) is the author of Disorienting Politics (2024) and Faked in China: Nation Branding, Counterfeit Culture, and Globalization (2016). Her new project, Shenzhen: A Media City of the Global South, examines the first Special Economic Zone as a media-infrastructural complex that straddles globalizations from “above” and “below.”

Nianshen Song (宋念申) is a social and intellectual historian whose work includes Making Borders in Modern East Asia: The Tumen River Demarcation, 1881–1919 (2018) and Zhizao Yazhou [制造亚洲 Mapping Asia] (2024).

This event will be a seminar with Professor Fan Yang (杨帆) of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, about her new book, Disorienting Politics: Chimerican Media and Transpacific Entanglements (2024). Participants are encouraged to read the book beforehand. An open access version is available on the UMP website : https://press.umich.edu/Books/D/Disorienting-Politics3. And also at: https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/90807/1/9780472904464.pdf. Professor Nianshen Song (宋念申) of Tsinghua University (清華大學人文社會科學高等研究院) will serve as respondent to the book, and Professor Dan Vukovich (SoH) will moderate. All are welcome!

This event is co-organised by the China, Humanities, and Global Studies (CHAGS) Cross-Faculty Research Hub and the Center for the Study of Globalization and Cultures (CSGC), Department of Comparative Literature, School of Humanities, Faculty of Arts, The University of Hong Kong.
