SUMMARY:Keynote: Kevin Wynter\, "The Final Brother: On Horror and Black Survivability"
DESCRIPTION:Do Black people always die first in horror movies? Is it possible to be Black and successfully survive a horror film? This talk examines the status of Black representations in the horror genre from Blaxploitation cinema to the horror parodies of the late 90s/early 2000s to argue that Blackness in the cultural imaginary is categorically comprehensible only when situated within inflexible and highly restricted narrative positions. Building from Carol Clover’s influential work on the slasher film and her introduction of the term “the final girl” in her study of its female protagonists\, Dr. Kevin Wynter (Assistant Professor of Media Studies at Pomona College) will argue that the character of Chris Washington in Jordan Peele’s Get Out (2016) shows that Black protagonism does not simply subvert audience expectations or disrupt the rituals of viewership and participation the genre mandates\, it short circuits the horror film paradigm altogether.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: "Reimagining the Real"
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition (co-sponsored with the Emery Community Arts Center) features artworks that engage the legacy of realism in the 21st century\, continuing\, complicating\, or contesting this tradition. Accounts of western art history often emphasize the political significance of realism’s commitment to depicting “ordinary life” in a “naturalistic” way. Historical realism thus reflects a certain consensus around the meanings of nature\, the ordinary\, and the real. How do we imagine the real and its politics today? What does traditional realism still have to offer? Who determines which realities count as real? Whose perspective is reflected in the depiction of “ordinary life”? How is our perception of nature and of others limited (or expanded) by aesthetic convention? How might realities of abstract\, non-visual or non-static experience enrich our understanding of realism or the real? The works featured in the exhibit grapple with these vital questions in our contemporary context. \nThe opening of this event will be hosted in Emery Community Art Center’s Flex Space Gallery\, University of Maine at Farmington\, on Friday\, September 3 from 4 to 7 pm.
