DECOLONIZING DIGITAL NETWORKS: WOMEN OF COLOR FEMINISM, OPEN ACCESS, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE WOKE

Thursday, October 19th, 1pm
Gamble Room, Rush Rhees Library
(Lunch will be provided.)Lisa Nakamura is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of American Cultures at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She is one of the leading scholars in the field of critical digital media studies/digital humanities. From coining the concept of “cybertype” as distinctive ways that the internet propagates, disseminates, and commodifies images of race and racism, to locating the internet as a privileged and extremely rich site for the creation and distribution of hegemonic and counterhegemonic visual images of racialized bodies, Nakamura has significantly contributed to the theory of racial formation in digital cultures. Her publications include Race After the Internet (2011, co-edited with Peter Chow-White) and Digitizing Race: Visual Cultures of the Internet (2007).

SYMPOSIUM: MACHINE-READING AND CROWDSOURCING MEDIEVAL MUSIC MANUSCRIPTS (Eastman School of Music)

An international group of scholars will provide the state of digital humanities research as it relates to studies of medieval music manuscripts, including machine-reading of early music notation and collaborative techniques for indexing manuscripts of medieval chant. An evening performance by the women of Chicago-based early music ensemble Schola Antiqua features a pre-modern convent program, including music associated with a 13th-century Italian convent, which will be discussed in the morning sessions. The concert also includes keyboard pieces and some of the earliest known polyphony associated with nuns.
