Reclaiming and Resisting "Indian-ness": Peer Socialization and the Coloniality of Digital Gamin in Southern Peru
Professor Smith gives an account of how young men in Southern Peru contend with the coloniality of the gaming world through practices of peer socialization in internet-mediated play. In doing so, they both resist and partially reclaim stereotypes of "Indian-ness."
The Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts Brown Bag Series is always free, open to faculty, staff, students, and the public, and provides a congenial interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of recent research by the HSSA faculty. See the information below for upcoming brown bag talks.
