Session 3: Identities in Transition: the Deconstruction of Self/Other binaries in Popular Culture

Session chair: 

Lorenzo Rinelli

Department of Political Science

University of Hawai'i at Manoa

Session Intro: Confronting and critically interrogating the construction of “Otherness,” our panel speakers – who come from places as diverse as Germany, the Ivory Coast, New York, and Singapore – will highlight and discuss manifestations of shifting identities in contemporary culture. Carmen Nolte will explore villain Voldemort’s “politics of evil” in Harry Potter, focusing on the text’s deconstruction of binary-based fascist rhetoric, while Kristine Kotecki examines African Cinema’s response to the Self/Other dichotomy as perpetuated by colonialism and imperialism. Phillip Drake discusses the production of the myth of primitive human ecology and how the myth limits contemporary environmental discourse, and Cheryl Naruse analyzes how the Singaporean film Perth destabilizes notions of how the Self/Other is constituted through alienation and new desires under postcolonial conditions.

Session intro: This panel investigates representations of Otherness in various media constellations.  Cinema, television, and literature are among the diverse modes of expression that render images of Self and other. How these images are apprehended have an intimate relation to a politics of difference and Otherness. Using a range of postcolonial and critical theorists, we explore the intersections of culture, politics, history and aesthetics as they emerge in dominant and critical practices of media.  Static receptions of difference tend to fixate on a linkage between image and identity, whereas a mediation of Otherness, we suggest, deconstructs the binary oppositions of Self and Other that tend to render hierarchical orders of representation.
