In the blockbuster "Barbie" movie, two Latina women save the day, Gloria (played by America Ferrera) and Sasha (played by Ariana Greenblatt), and stand in for Latinas and Latinidad. But in 2000, "Dora the Explorer" was considered by many to be pathbreaking: for the first time, a Latina girl was a main character on Nickelodeon. Notably, this year was also the first time that the U.S. Census revealed that the Latine population was the most numerous minority in the country. Valdivia’s talk will consider how this evolution brought the girl culture of Latinas and Latindad and to the center of representation and profit in U.S. popular culture.

"Contained Visions: John Thomson (1837-1921), Photography, and the Chinese Export Image." Can China and the Chinese be contained in an image? Acting as expert, traveler, and witness, the photographer John Thomson (1837-1921) appears to answer this question in the affirmative with the first photographic book on China, his monumental "Illustrations of China and Its People" (1873-74). However, within the documentary intentions of his photographs run complex interactions with earlier representations of China as seen in Chinese export art and its producers. This talk will address Thomson’s reproductions and imitations of the fanciful and fictive export image, and his engagement with the imagined Chinese artist.
