Friday, 11/16 (week 8) UPDATE
For the 3rd hour of Beauty Parlour (after Group 6 presentations) 12-1pm, the program will go to the Com bldg. RECITAL HALL for "Media Ventriloquism," a lecture by Douglas Kahn [1], Evergreen alum ('73) and Professor in the Technocultural Studies program [2] at the University of California Davis.
Media Ventriloquism: What happens when the puppet loses the tight-jawed twang and finds its voice in a well-known political figure, when the puppet loses the forearm and grows a real spine, saying what it really meant to say? Rare footage of Pauline Pantsdown: the anti-Citizen Kane of Australian political drag.
Ventriloquism (and political ventriloquism, at that): another way for us to approach the notion of the cyborg.
