FOR MORE INFORMATION: PS@NORTHWESTERN.EDU How do contemporary Asian American cultural forms critique common conventions of social and political life? In this talk that builds upon performance studies, queer theory, and Asian American studies, Vivian Huang discusses her new book Surface Relations: Queer Forms of Asian American Inscrutability and theorizes minoritarian aesthetics of silence, invisibility,
impenetrability, flatness, and distance. Sponsored by the Department of Performance Studies and the
Program in Asian American Studies, Northwestern University. Vivian Huang is Assistant Professor of Communication Studies,
San Francisco State University.
