Abstract: Keblinska's project is a media archaeology that seeks to understand the transition from late socialism to early post-socialism in Poland and China through the “pulpy archive” — informal collections of cheap texts and obsolete media objects that they discovered and those that they assembled in their dissertation research on 1980s and 90s China and their postdoctoral comparative project on China and Poland in the same decades.
This series of roundtable webinars features presentations and moderated conversations that foster cross-disciplinary exchange. Each roundtable showcases 2-3 members of the Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme's post-MFA and postdoctoral cohort whose work shares disciplinary, methodological and/or topical alignment.
