featuring Glen Mimura
Thursday, February 27 | 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
RIMAC 4th floor Conference Room
Reception to follow
In the past several years, Asian American scholarly and popular discourses have 'reclaimed' the image and career of Bruce Lee, Chinese American martial arts superstar, to recuperate an Asian American masculine 'cool' from its subordinate status of orientalized, emasculated nerdiness. This talk traces the political-economic and media coordinates of this nerd-cool binary, producing its most spectacularized instance of 'failed' masculinity in 2004 American Idol appearance of UC Berkeley civil engineering major, William Hung.
