SUMMARY:Emotional Filipinos: The American Myth of the “Lazy Native” and Islamic Separatism in the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nJoin NYSEAN and Sulo: The Philippine Studies Initiative at NYU for a talk by George B. Radics\, senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the National University of Singapore. Dr. Radics will discuss his new book\, Emotional Filipinos The American Myth of the Lazy Native and Islamic Separatism in the Philippines. \nAbout the Book: \nEmotional Filipinos documents how in the first half of the twentieth century\, the United States attempted to build a colony in the Philippines in its own image—one fraught with racist notions of what it means to be civilized\, developed\, and worthy of self-rule. I argue that these imported notions of race and modernity left a profound imprint on the nation. Moreover\, with the menacing rise of Islamic “terrorism\,” political polarization\, populism\, xenophobia\, and isolationism\, conventional wisdom has attributed this rise to a “failed state” or economic insecurity and cultural backlash. In this book\, I explore emotions as a driving force behind social action. The Philippines is currently experiencing the longest-running Muslim-Christian conflict in the modern world and an increasingly anti-Western populist government. By unpacking the role of emotions from the American colonial period to the present\, my book blurs the line between American colonizer and Muslim-Filipino “terrorist\,” highlighting the lasting effects of America’s footprint in Southeast Asia.  My book is the culmination of over two decades of engagement with the Philippines and its southern islands of Mindanao.  It provides an analytical sociology of race and emotion lens\, borne out of the Global South\, to study other emerging conflicts throughout the world. \nTo hear more about the book\, listen to Dr. Radics’s podcast episode with the New Books Network\, a NYSEAN Partner. \nAbout the Speaker: \nGeorge B. Radics is a senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the National University of Singapore. After receiving his PhD in sociology from the National University of Singapore (NUS)\, he earned a juris doctor with a concentration in Asian law from the University of Washington and worked for the Supreme Court of Guam for two years. He is also a member of the New York Bar. His work involves the judicial system\, notions of justice\, human rights\, minorities\, and comparative legal studies\, and his articles have been published in Columbia Human Rights Law Review\, Journal of Human Rights\, Current Sociology\, and Philippine Sociological Review. \nRegistration: \nTo attend the event in person\, please register here.

SUMMARY:Screening - Stanley Kwan’s CENTER STAGE
DESCRIPTION:International superstar Maggie Cheung (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu\, known as the “Greta Garbo of China\,” in this unconventional biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan (ROUGE). Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence\, Ruan’s private life\, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabloids\, began to mirror the melodramas which brought her fame\, culminating in her suicide at age 24. Kwan and Cheung paint a kaleidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ill-fated actress\, deftly blending lush period drama\, archival footage\, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung reflecting on Ruan’s legacy. The result is\, much like the films of Ruan Lingyu themselves\, “tender\, vivid\, and almost overwhelmingly moving” (Time Out). \nUse code AAARI for $4 discount.

SUMMARY:NapRyang: Midnight Scream in NY - A Tale of Two Sisters
DESCRIPTION:Directors: Kim Jee-woon \nSynopsis: In a remote rural village\, at the end of a quiet country road lined with wildflowers\, stands a solitary Japanese-style wooden house. By day\, the house is picturesque enough to seem as though the sound of a piano might drift from its windows. But when darkness falls\, it takes on a chilling and ominous presence. \nIt is in this house\, steeped in an unsettling atmosphere\, that two beautiful sisters\, Su-mi and Su-yeon—neither quite children nor adults—begin living with their elegant yet emotionally volatile stepmother. From the day they move in together\, a terrifying family ghost story begins to unfold. \nAfter returning home from a lengthy stay in Seoul for treatment\, the sisters are warmly welcomed by their stepmother\, Eun-joo. Despite her apparent affection\, the girls clearly feel uneasy around her. From their very first day back\, strange occurrences begin to plague the household. Family members experience disturbing visions and suffer from recurring nightmares. \nDetermined to care for her younger sister and her father\, Moo-hyeon\, in place of their deceased mother\, Su-mi takes on the role of protector. Su-yeon\, who bears a striking resemblance to her late mother\, lives in constant fear. Tensions quickly escalate between the sensitive and unstable Eun-joo and the two sisters\, while their father remains a passive observer of the growing conflict. \nAs Eun-joo’s emotional instability deepens and fear begins to consume the household\, Su-mi struggles desperately to protect her sister. Meanwhile\, a series of increasingly bizarre and terrifying events unfolds throughout the house…
