DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of Performing and Media Arts for PMAPS Coll
 oquium with AE Stevenson: “‘Oh My Fucking God\, She Fucking Dead’: T
 ime in a Vine\,” on Friday\, March 20\, from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm\, in th
 e Film Forum\, Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts. AE Stevenson is As
 sistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies\, University of Chicago. Thi
 s event is free and open to the public.\n\n“‘Oh My Fucking God\, She F
 ucking Dead’: Time in a Vine\,” is about the now-defunct social media 
 app Vine and its patented looping feature that renegotiated online time\, 
 not to be mistaken with what Shane Denson calls “Screen Time.” The cha
 pter centers around the case study of Kayla Newman who created the phrase 
 “on fleek” on the app\, which quickly became a major socio-cultural in
 dicator for others to generate cultural capital from because it was not at
 tributed back to its Black girl creator. However\, while Newman did later 
 get acknowledgement for the creation\, it took time. The looping feature o
 f Vine\, meaning that the video begins replaying immediately after it fini
 shes\, quickly became implemented on all social media sites by 2014 change
 d the understanding of how long the experience of a video could be. Dr. St
 evenson connects the way that time is elapsed on Vine to the way that Blac
 k women and girls on this app often could not find a way to own their crea
 tions. It has been only after Vine\, and its loop\, “closed” that thes
 e Black women and girls get to reap the nostalgic capital of their creatio
 ns.\n\nAE Stevenson is Assistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at 
 the University of Chicago. She is currently a Residential Fellow at the Fr
 anke Institute for the Humanities\, where she is working to complete her f
 irst monograph\, Sites of Chaos: Scenes of a Black Social Life. Sites of C
 haos analyzes Vine\, TikTok\, Instagram’s The Shade Room\, and “blackf
 ishing” to argue that Black women and girls have fundamentally changed t
 he visual language of the Internet. She has published in Catalyst\, Femini
 st Media Histories\, and liquid blackness.  \n\nThis event is sponsored by
  the Performance and Media Arts Presentation (PMAPS) colloquium series. In
 augurated in Fall 2021\, PMAPS is the latest iteration of a colloquium ser
 ies within the Department of Performing and Media Arts. Its greatest visio
 n lies in offering graduate students a space to present their work to stud
 ents\, faculty\, and professionals of similar fields and interests. The co
 ntent of its presentation’s ranges from media studies to dance\, and suc
 h diverse nature has earned the attention of related communities both with
 in and outside Ithaca\, NY.
