DIGITIZATION DISCOVERY DIVERSITY
As a partner to academic libraries, Gale is excited to help power your institution’s equity,
diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives with interdisciplinary Gale Primary Sources that share
marginalized perspectives on history as it unfolded.
Visit gale.com/aacademic to learn about new digital archives for student and faculty
researchers in gender studies, LGTBQ studies, and much more—and how to incorporate
them into digital humanities programs with Gale Digital Scholar Lab. We can’t wait to show
how digitization of these rare accounts leads to the discovery of new, diverse narratives.
HELP FOR YOUR EYES!
Stop by the Gale booth, see a demo at our table and take home
a premium pair of blue-tint glasses to reduce screen

| SPECIAL 17, 2023
EVENT
AAS/ALADAA PLENARY ROUNDTABLE
Global Asias: Intersectionality of Space, Place, and History in African, Latin, and
Asian Identities
► FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 5:30PM – 7:00PM EASTERN TIME
This Association for Asian Studies (AAS) and Asociación Latinoamericana de Estudios de Asia y África
(ALADAA) collaborative roundtable takes as its point of departure the understanding that global and
cultural flows, “do not necessarily obliterate the territories that they cross, and indeed may help
constitute and reproduce” (Heyman and Campbell 2009:140) new identities and lived realities. Those
identities and realities center in and around what we consider “Global Asias”—that is, transnational
movements that encompass Asia and its extensions across the Pacific. Here, we take a dynamic
approach to time and space in consideration of the Diasporic body as an expressive landscape core
to reconstituting fluctuating identities and rearticulating the intersections of social life. Roundtable
participants consider the confluence of Latin, African, and Asian Diasporic identities and explore the
spaces constituted when diverse identities amalgamate through the movement of communities;
communities linked through foodways, religion, dance, music, martial arts, cinema, language, and
dialect, among many others. Presentations will be followed by moderated discussion on issues key
to the Asian, African, and Latin identities and communities in the 21st global century.
Moderator:
Hilary V. Finchum-Sung, Association for Asian Studies
Speakers:
Jerónimo Delgado-Caicedo, professor of African Studies at Universidad Externado de Colombia in
Bogotá, Colombia, will discuss:
“Asian/African identities, specifically the impact of Indian migration in the creation of South Africa
as a country and its historic importance”
Sergio Hernández Galindo, research professor at the National Institute of Anthropology and History
(INAH, Mexico), will discuss:
“Identities under dispute: Japanese immigrants during war and peace”
Evelyn Hu-DeHart, author, will discuss:
“The Chinese Diaspora and the Spanish Empire, from the 16th c. to the 19th c.”
Lía Rodriguez de la Vega, specialist in Hinduism Yoga, with a Bachelor of Oriental Studies and a
doctorate in International Relations, will discuss:
“Bodies and Imaginaries: The unfolding of India’s identity in Argentina”
Christine R. Yano, professor of Anthropology at the University of Hawai`i, will discuss:
“What are the ties that bind?”

| FILM SCREEINGS
We are pleased to offer the opportunity to view films at AAS2023 Virtual!
All films are available for viewing on-demand,
February 17 - February 24.
DEATH OF THE ONE WHO KNOWS
Director: Dana Rappoport
color, 82 min, 2020
in Toraja, Indonesian with English subtitles
In the Toraja highlands of Sulawesi (Indonesia), Lumbaa is one of the last masters
of ritual speech. After his forced conversion to Pentecostalism, he is compelled to
stop all his ritual activity and oratory. Concerned by the disappearance of “those
who know”, a young Catholic priest named Yans Sulo sets out in search of the
society’s ancient oral genres, seeking to invent new forms that would keep them
alive. The two men meet. But it is too late. By recounting the life and death of
Lumbaa, the film shows how the intrusion of world religion disrupts a Southeast
Asian society.
PADAUK: MYANMAR SPRINT
Directors: Jeanne Marie Hallacy and Rares Michael Ghilezan
color, 56 min, 2021
in Burmese and English with English subtitles
Padauk: Myanmar Spring takes the viewer to the streets of Myanmar during the
heady days following the February 2021 military coup. Through Nant, a young,
first-time protester, we meet three human rights activists whose lives have been
turned upside down by the coup.
As the protests continue, Nant comes to understand the truth of a brutal regime
that has continued to wage war against its own people for decades. Against a
foreboding backdrop, Nant’s political awakening regarding the plight of others in
her ethnically diverse country gives hope for the future.
Beautifully augmented by poetry and art, Padauk: Myanmar Spring shows the
resilience and determination of the people of Myanmar, and the sacrifices they’ve
made.
THREADS: SUSTAINING INDIA’S TEXTILE TRADITION
Directors: Katherine Sender and Shuchi Kothari
color, 58 min, 2022
in English, Gujarati, Kutchhi, Hindi with English subtitles
Threads explores the relationship between traditional weavers and fashion
designers in India.
After decades of decline in a demand for legacy fabrics, collaborative relationships
between designers and artisans (communicated and negotiated between social
economic classes from different social positions) have led to fashion designers
now recognizing the autonomy of artisan designers and the need to work with
them. A highly regarded Indian designer reflects by saying, “artists [weavers] will
not stop for my work, the craft is their lifestyle, if I change their lifestyle, it reflects
in their work. Now I work according to them instead of according to me.”
In contemporary India, fashion houses strive for engagement with their weavers
which is mutually beneficial for more than financial reasons, “we are going to
create together, it’s what India wants.”
