Thinking Unruly Aesthetics: A Roundtable with Kandice Chuh, Allan deSouza, and Gayatri Gopinath

Presented by the NYU Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU.

This round table places in conversation three recently published monographs: Kandice Chuh’s (CUNY Graduate Center) The Difference Aesthetics Makes: On the Humanities “After Man” (Duke University Press, 2019), Allan deSouza’s (University of California, Berkeley) How Art Can Be Thought: A Handbook for Change (Duke University Press, 2018), and Gayatri Gopinath’s (NYU Department of Social  and Cultural Analysis) Unruly Visions: The Aesthetic Practices of Queer Diaspora (Duke University Press, 2018).
