LCE Members,
I wanted to draw your attention to a multimedia performance and discussion that will be happening on campus on Tuesday, March 2nd. The performance offers a humorous, poignant, and complicated picture of media representations of immigration and how these representations frame us as audience members. This piece has been performed at universities, conferences, and festivals across the nation and we are honored to be able to host it at GSU. Additionally, the performance will be followed by a short response from Dr. Christina Gomez of Northeastern Illinois University and then a reception. I hope you will be able to attend. Faculty, please encourage your students to attend or consider bringing your classes.

Media Presentation - Lines in the Sand
ReplyDeleteLines in the Sand: Loss, Fear, and Whiteness in the U.S. Media Representations of Contemporary Mexican Immigration, is a multimedia performance investigating U.S. media representations of Mexican immigration, both legal and illegal. The presentation will be held Tuesday, March 2, at 5:30 p.m., in Sherman Recital Hall.
Through the use of dance, sound, video, narrative, and scripted dialogue, the performance questions the various “positions” in the current debate and the many issues that are affected by it. The performers interrogate each other’s stories, fears, claims, and blind attachments to white privileges as they embrace or reject the multiple ways they find themselves positioned in the current conversation. Dustin Bradley Goltz, Assistant Professor of Performance Studies in the College of Communication at DePaul University, and Kimberlee Pérez, Instructor of Communication Studies in the College of Communication at DePaul University portrays the two parts.
A discussion following the performance features Dr. Christina Gómez, Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino & Latin American Studies Program at Northeastern Illinois University. The evening concludes with a reception in E-Lounge.
This event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the University Intellectual Life Committee, Latino Center for Excellence, Student Life, College of Arts and Sciences, and the Division of Liberal Arts.
