SUMMARY:The Sexual Representation Collection Presents: Sex in the Archives 
 with Ariane Cruz and Nguyen Tan Hoang
DESCRIPTION:The Sexual Representation Collection speaker series is an annua
 l lecture given by an esteemed scholar who is recognized for their researc
 h as it relates to pornography and/or representations of sexuality\, and w
 orks to highlight the Bonham Centre’s Sexual Representation Collection\,
  Canada’s largest university-based collection of pornography. This event
  will have live captions\, and will be recorded. Please contact sexual.div
 ersity@utoronto.ca with any access requests.\n\nFebruary 28th\, 2022:\nReg
 ister on Zoom for access to the webinar.\n------\n\n"Carbon Cosby. Pornmim
 icries of Race\, Sexuality\, and Gender"\n\nAbstract: In this talk I discu
 ss what I’ve termed pornmimicry\, pornography’s spectacular multiplex 
 mimetic performance which unveils mimicry as primary instrument of identif
 icatory performance and race\, sexuality\, and gender as profoundly mimeti
 c practices. Focusing on Not the Cosbys XXX (2009)\, a pornographic parody
  of the sitcom\, I analyze pornography as a venue that lays bare the polit
 ics of race\, sexuality\, and gender that energize cultural practices of m
 imesis. More than a primary technique through which pornography acts as an
  archive of popular culture\, mimicry is a salient technology for the re(p
 roduction) of blackness in visual culture. Pornmimicry reals the sitcom an
 d porn as forms of popular American entertainment dependent upon mimesis a
 s a critical technique of racial sexual authenticity and both genre’s an
 xious citation of a domestic phantasm of heteronormative middle class “r
 espectable” familial blackness and ultimately black belonging wherein 
 “the real” manifests as that which is normatively reduplicated.\n\nAri
 ane Cruz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Women’s\, Gender
 \, and Sexuality Studies at the Pennsylvania State University. Her most re
 cent book is The Color of Kink: Black Women\, BDSM\, and Pornography (Ne
 w York University Press\, 2016).\n\n-\n\n"Sticky Pages: Gaysian Scholar Ra
 ids Sex Archive"\n\nAbstract: This presentation takes a look back at “st
 icky rice” (Asian-Asian) desire in the Asian Male Nude Collection 1939-2
 014 (housed at the University of South Florida in Tampa) and in my own pri
 vate stash of gaysian visual ephemera circa 1995. The only collection of i
 ts kind in the world\, the Asian Male Nude Collection “contains magazine
 s\, news clippings\, photographs\, ephemera\, and audio/visual materials t
 hat document the historical rarity of the Asian male nude.” Categorized 
 by geographic location\, time period\, and subject matter\, the collection
  is marked by a completist comprehensiveness of materials. I juxtapose my 
 combing of this official archive with my personal stash of gay Asian mater
 ials from the mid-1990s: 1) safe sex campaigns targeting gay Asian men\, 2
 ) calendars featuring half-naked Asian men\, and 3) a series of photograph
 ic self-portraits I made when I was twenty-two years old. I consider how t
 hese two archives—one aiming to legitimize a rice queen’s appreciation
  of the Asian male body\, the other a community’s goal to reeducate Asia
 n men to see themselves differently—draw on the mechanisms of fantasy by
  modeling for others how to look at Asian men anew.\n\nNguyen Tan Hoang i
 s Associate Professor of Literature and Cultural Studies at the University
  of California\, San Diego. His most recent book is A View from the Botto
 m: Asian American Masculinity and Sexual Representation (Duke University 
 Press\, 2014).
