Hearing Aids, or notes on pedagogies of listening otherwise
This essay offers a series of meditations on the questions, What/who are we listening to? What/who are we listening for? How can we do either and both better? Thinking alongside Dylan Robinson’s enjoinder to attend to the coloniality of normative, institutional listening practices, Chuh amplifies his emphasis on how we may attune to and elicit subjects and pedagogies organized around collegiality and mutuality instead of the devouring will to kno…

Defamiliarizing Asian American Studies
14 Defamiliarizing Asian American Studies Kandice Chuh (bio) There's a tactic I use, both in teaching and in writing, similar to one derived in the 1960s by a group of French writers who worked under the group name OuLiPo.1 The group emphasized constraint as a writing technique—writing without the letter "e," for example, or without "the." These constraints were meant to catalyze imagination and propel creativity, to bump habits of language suffi…

Pedagogies of Dissent
Pedagogies of Dissent Kandice Chuh (bio) That academic freedom is under attack is something of a commonplace observation, and understandably so. There is ample evidence to be drawn from across the world and more locally in support of such a claim. The Scholars at Risk Network's recent publication, Free to Think 2017, covers 257 reported attacks on higher education communities in thirty-five countries in just the past year.1 These include the viol…
Being with José
This coauthored introduction reflects on some of the impacts of José Esteban Muñoz’s life and work-from his scholarship through his friendship and mentoring to his collaborations in intellectual and social life. The coauthors emphasize Muñoz’s commitment to both the production of minoritarian knowledge and the thought of plural singularity, or what this issue as a whole indexes with the name “Being With
It's Not about Anything
Though more prominently known as a performance studies scholar and queer and critical race theorist, José Esteban Muñoz is cast in this essay as a theorist of the aesthetic. Informed by the ways that Muñoz offers a worldly pedagogy and critical practice that takes place in and makes learning places of theaters and clubs as much as classrooms and conferences, and following Jean-Luc Nancy—as does Muñoz—to understand “world” here as referring to tha…

Could Edward Said have known at the time he wrote Orientalism that he would not only be revolutionizing the field of Middle East Studies and the disciplines at its core, but also a number of allied and aligned fields, one of which, Women's Studies, had not fully come into being? This presentation is about genealogies of knowledge, in this case Middle East gender studies. It is about counter-hegemonic thought, in this case, the rupture of the gene…
Teaching Texts
“Teaching Texts”:Reviews Editor’s Introduction Kandice Chuh I'm very pleased to be inaugurating the "Teaching Texts" column with this preface and accompanying article. As JAAS readers will know, we wanted to create a space in the journal for starting and circulating conversations on pedagogy in the recognition that "a defining feature of Asian American studies has been and continues to be the attention we pay to our pedagogical practices," to quo…
Imagine Otherwise
Imagine Otherwise is an incisive critique of the field of Asian American studies. Recognizing that the rubric "Asian American" elides crucial differences, Kandice Chuh argues for reframing Asian American studies as a study defined not by its subjects and objects, but by its critique. Toward that end, she urges the foregrounding of the constructedness of "Asian American" formations and shows how this understanding of the field provides the basis f…
Discomforting Knowledge
To think through some of the issues attending to Asian Americanist objectification of "comfort women," Chuh examines the uses to which certain novels - namely, Nora Okja Keller's Comfort Woman and Chang-rae Lee's A Gesture Life - put the "comfort woman." Through this consideration, she works toward making some broader claims about the ways and means of critical practice in Asian Americanist discourse. What can particular narrativizations of "comf…
Guest Editor's Introduction
THROUGH FORCE AND FRAUD, somewhere between 60,000 and 200,000 girls and women were conscripted into service as "comfort women" during the years of Japan's consolidation of its empire in the Pacific region. Of this number, whose range is so vast because of the continuing unavailability of specific data, some 80-90 percent is said to have been taken from Korea. Other Japan-occupied countries, including Taiwan, China, the Philippines, and Indonesia,…
