DESCRIPTION:The Screen Media Group welcomes Prof. Stephanie Hemelryk Donal
 d\, Professor of Comparative Film and Cultural Studies at the University o
 f New South Wales\, for a seminar on the role of the child in film.\n\nPro
 f. Donald's talk will draw on French and Francophone cinema scholar Bill M
 arshall\, following the lead of Paul Gilroy in The Black Atlantic\, has tr
 aced the idea of cinema ‘beyond the nation’. Likewise\, several theori
 sts have noted the uneven juxtaposition between localism\, parochialism an
 d cosmopolitanism for ‘ordinary’ migrants who carve out lives across a
 nd between places\, identifications\, competencies\, and affective connect
 ions. The argument here is that children are both ordinary and beyond the 
 nation\, and in certain ways’ beyond theory’\, or at least beyond theo
 retical premises on childhood that are designed\, as Castaneda has noted\,
  to constitute  ‘the adult’s pre-subjective other’. The extra-territ
 oriality of the child may then confront the grounds of racism in national 
 formations.\n\nAll welcome\, no registration required. Followed by a Q&A.
