Hawaii Bibliovision

In October, Hawai'i Bibliovision features Gayatri Gopinath, currently Associate Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University. Professor Gopinath was the Joseph Keene Chadwick Lecturer of AY 2006-2007. Professor Gopinath specializes in Asian Diaspora Literatures and Cultures, Anglophone and Postcolonial Literatures, Feminist Theory, Queer Theory, Popular Culture. Her book, Impossible Desires: Queer Diasporas and South Asian Public Cultures (Duke University Press, 2005) has been very well-received. One critic wrote that Impossible Desires is a fascinating and lively book and lucidly written. Another scholar had the following assessment: “Her lively, accessible writing ranges from British-Asian music, through Bollywood/Hollywood to the work of Pakistani writer Ishmat Chugtai. Her analysis of films including Fire and Monsoon Wedding is a particular highlight.” The title of Professor Gopinath’s talk for the Joseph Keene Chadwick Lectures Series was “Queer Regions: Re-visioning Space and Sexualities in Transnational Times”.
