Summer Session II - ASAN 491S: Religion and Identity in Southeast Asia(CRN 92189)
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Honolulu, HI
Instructor: K Swazey (swazey@hawaii.edu)

Can converting to another religion change your ethnicity? Can you be born into a religious identity that stays with you throughout your life, no matter what religion you actually practice? Can you be excluded from belonging to the place where you grew up because you have the "wrong" religion? Throughout the modern history of Southeast Asia examples abound of the importance of religion in defining the boundaries of identity. This class will use ethnography, coverage of current events, film and examination of popular culture to examine the link between religion and identity in contemporary Southeast Asia... more info

Sharon's
Noranian Turn: Stardom, Embodiment, and Language in Philippine Cinema - FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Colloquium
with Bliss Cua Lim, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies, UC
Irvine
University of California - Riverside, CA, USA
12:00pm, Friday,
June 4, 2010
This lecture revisits the
star personae of Nora Aunor and Sharon Cuneta, arguably the two most important
female stars of Filipino cinema in the post-studio period. Lim's analysis of
their films and their star texts at the decisive moments of their explosion
into national popularity in the late 1960s (for Nora Aunor) and the early 1980s
(for Sharon Cuneta) considers the dovetailing of racialized star embodiment and
language as markers of social distinction... more info
