Ethnicity in China talk
Ethnicity in China
Dr Elena Barabantseva (University of Manchester)
Tuesday 03 May 2011, 12.30 -1.30pm, The Kanaris Theatre, The Manchester Museum, Oxford Road
Continuing with The Confucius Institute Public Talks on China at The Manchester Museum, we are delighted to have Dr Elena Barabantseva speaking on the topic of Ethnicity in China.
Until recently, the People’s Republic of China has been largely perceived and studied as an ethnically homogenous society. With the recent ethnic clashes in Xinjiang in 2009 and in Tibetan areas in 2008, ethnic diversity and ethnic relations in China have been increasingly high on the political agenda of China's leadership and captured the attention of the audiences worldwide. However, popular accounts rarely take notice of China's ethnicities beyond the Tibetans and Uyghurs. If they do, the Uyghur and Tibetan cases often serve as the lenses for perceiving other ethnic minorities' lives in China.
The prevailing popular accounts present ethnic minorities as suppressed and marginalized people who struggle to express their non-mainstream identities beyond the child-like or rebellious portrayals imposed on them by the Chinese state. In contrast, this talk will highlight some of the many complex facets of ethnic relations in China which often remain unaccounted for in the Western public discourse
This talk is for members of the general public as well as students

CIDRA public lecture - 'Interiors'
Interiors: Public lecture
Tuesday, 3 May 2011 at 5pm
Ranjana Khanna (Duke University)
'Asylum'
In this lecture Ranjana Khanna will analyze conceptual links among different sites designated by the term asylum. Extending insights concerning one institutional setting (the mental asylum) to asylum's most expansive version (the nation), she will highlight the manner in which asylums are bound not only by borders but also by strict rules. The space of asylum suggests the rights of institutions over living bodies, rather than the rights of citizens emerging into different spaces. Through figures of sovereignty and subjectivity, asylum highlights the ways in which the sovereign intervenes in lives to formulate concepts of the human and the valuable. This feminist analysis of asylum 'related to philosophy, literature, film, art, and architecture' reconceptualizes the boundaries of modernism and its notions of interiors and interiority.
Ranjana Khanna works on Anglo- and Francophone Postcolonial theory and literature, Psychoanalysis, and Feminist theory. She has published articles on transnational feminism and psychoanalysis in journals such as Diacritics, Art History, positions: east asia critique, Screen, Signs, Third Text, The Duke Journal of Law and Gender. She is the author of two books: Dark Continents: Psychoanalysis and Colonialism (Duke University Press, 2003) and Algeria Cuts: Women and Representation 1830 to the present (Stanford University Press, 2008). Her current book project in progress is entitled Asylum: The Concept and the Practice.

CFP British Shakespeare Association, Lancaster, Feb 2012
British Shakespeare Association
10th Anniversary Conference
Lancaster University
Shakespeare Inside-out: Depth / Surface / Meaning
Shakespeare’s texts produce meaning by turning insides out. We are drawn into the plays and poems from the outside through surfaces: books, screens, words, objects, costumes, the surfaces of actors' faces and bodies, retellings or adaptations, teaching spaces and theatres, and via our experiences of immediate effects like music, laughter, tears, movement. The texts, meanwhile, turn deep human questions, emotions, subjectivities outwards by projecting them as words and performance. This conference will ask how the relationship between surface and depth operates in Shakespeare's work. How does it function in different types of performance practice from live theatre to film? In the traces of the past that have come down to us? And in our practices as teachers and critics? The conference will explore 'the deep value of surfaces’ (Shusterman), the dynamic relationship between surface and depth across a range of practices: reading, watching, editing, teaching, performing.
The conference programme includes lectures, workshops, seminars and performances of Much Ado About Nothing at Lancaster Castle (and Love's Labours' Lost by Northern Broadsides). Speakers include Barrie Rutter (Northern Broadsides), Professor Jean E. Howard (Columbia University); Professor R. S. White (Centre for Excellence for the Study of History of the Emotions, University of Western Australia), Professor Stuart Sillars (University of Bergen); Professor Andrew Gurr (University of Reading). Proposals for panels, papers, workshops or presentations on any aspect of the topic are welcomed from across the membership of the BSA by 1 October 2011 (a.g.findlay@lancaster.ac.uk)

CHOOSING A FREE CHOICE COURSE
_______________________________________________________________________________________
You are a SAHC student:
If you are registered on a programme owned by the School of Arts, Histories and Cultures and your programme regulations permit you to take a free choice and your course choice is:
Within SAHC you can select this course alongside your other SAHC course choices using My Planner.
Outside of SAHC you can select a Non-SAHC course unit using My Planner however this selection will only be used as an indication to the School that you are planning on taking a free choice outside of SAHC. You will need to undertake University Course Unit Selection in July to enrol onto your Non-SAHC free choice course option.
You are a Non-SAHC student:
If you are registered on a programme not owned by the School of Arts, Histories and Culture and your programme regulations permit you to take a free choice from within SAHC you will need to undertake SAHC Course Unit Selection using this guide.
SELECTING COURSES FROM OUTSIDE OF SAHC
_______________________________________________________________________________________
If your programme regulations permit you to select Non-SAHC course units alongside SAHC course units – for example you are joint honours or combined studies student, it is important that you understand that completing SAHC Course Unit Selection will only provide you with allocation onto any SAHC course units that you choose.
You can still select Non-SAHC course units using My Planner however these selections will only be used as an indication to the School of what other course units you are intending to take. We are unable to allocate you places on Non-SAHC course units, you will need to undertake University Course Unit Selection from the 19th July to enrol onto your Non-SAHC course options.
For information about choosing a course unit outside of SAHC as a free choice see above
RANKING YOUR COURSE UNIT SELECTIONS
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Although we strive to keep our course units open, in some circumstances we do have to cancel courses due to low recruitment and also cap (limit) the amount of students we can accept due to practical or academic reasons. Due to this, we ask you to rank your course choices and provide one reserve for each course choice you select.
Providing a ranking against your course selections provides us with an understanding of which courses are most important to you out of all of your selections.
It is important that you follow these two rules in order for your course selections to be properly processed and understood.
1. When selecting a course unit you wish to take you will also specify a numerical preferred ranking against it
2. For each one ranked course selection you make you will provide one un-ranked course selection to be used as a reserve.
Failure to comply with the ranking and reserve system will deem your selections invalid.
Example choices of Student A
| Ranked Course Selection | Ranking Given | Un-Ranked Reserve Selection | Ranking Given |
| AMER20011 | 1 | AMER20911 | - |
| ARGY20071 | 3 | ARGY20331 | - |
| ARGY20052 | 2 | ARGY20262 | - |
From this example, we can see that Student A’s number 1 choice is AMER20011 followed by ARGY20052 and ARGY20071.
In the event we could not offer this student one of their ranked course selections, for example ARGY20071, we would look to assign a course from their reserve selection – this would be dependent on the student’s timetable, programme regulations and the semester the course is taught in. In these circumstances we would liaise with you on an individual basis by email or by phone*
*Please ensure your University email account is checked regularly in-case one of our Programme Administrators tries to contact you regarding your course choices from mid May – July. In some cases, if we have no response from you we may automatically allocate you a reserve course.

Abstract:
Punishment is intrinsically related to the way in which authorities (such as the church, monarchy and state) seek to control, enforce and legislate the behaviour of individuals, communities and nations, and accordingly it plays an integral role in regulating bodies, spaces, spirituality and rela-tionships. Representations of punishment - whether threatened, enacted, depicted or performed - are regularly encountered by medievalists working across the disciplines of literature, history, art and archaeology. This conference seeks to explore functions and manifestations of punish-ment in the Middle Ages and to consider to what extent these are determined by, or aim to de-termine, gender identity. How is punishment gendered? How does gender intersect with punish-ment?
Topics to consider may include but are not limited to: Punishment in the beginning; the medieval understanding of the Fall. Punishment, pedagogy and gender: the use of punishment in teaching. Christianity, gender and punishment; treatment of the sinful body. Punishment of Jewish, Saracen and heretical men and women. Personal identity and self-inflicted acts of punishment. The (gendered) use of space as punishment. Regal punishments; punishments enacted upon or by medieval rulers. Punishment and the regulation of perceived sexual deviance. Punishment and spectacle; performance of punishment on and off the stage. Gender relations in specific acts of punishment. Confession and penance (as punishment): gendered role of confessor; issues relating to differences between female and male confession and penance. Hell, the diabolic, and representations of gender
