Not Simply Sweet Nothings: Sound Technologies, Queerness,\u00a0and Intimacy.<\/div>\n

Thursday, April 28, 4-6pm<\/div>\n

Vilas 4028, Vilas Hall Communication\u00a0Building<\/div>\n

In this talk, Dr. Ben Aslinger investigates connections between queer talk, audio and communication technologies, and intimacy in queer\u00a0representations. It draws on research in sound studies and the affective turn as well as ongoing conversations about publicness and\u00a0privateness in sound and digital media in order to analyze how the use of audio technologies in queer film indicates the attempt by\u00a0directors to develop new ways of representing queer intimacy.<\/div>\n
