Please join us for a "What I Am Thinking About Now" presentation by Kara Keeling, Visiting Associate Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, and Associate Professor, Division of Cinema and Media Studies and Department of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California.

In this talk, she seeks to extend a series of inquiries into the historical relationship between Black women’s bodies, processes of commodification, and propriety into a consideration of property relations animated by the logics of digital media in a “sharing” economy. To do this, she puts the music video for Grace Jones’ 2008 single, “Corporate Cannibal” and Arthur Jafa’s 2014 film Dreams Are Colder than Death into conversation with feminist theories of race, gender, embodiment, and media.
