Eyegasm and Eyegiene in Roma! Sapienza University Lecture, April 2018

Just getting around to sharing the poster from the lecture I delivered (first time with simultaneous translation into Italian!) at Sapienza University, Rome, Italy, April 2018.  Thanks again to Tito Vagni, Antonio Rafele, and all the beautiful Italy-based graduate students and scholars that made this the trip of a lifetime!  Here's the groovy promo poster:

I am finally putting the finishing touches to my my book-length study of 20th and 21st century visual culture--the original working title was Eyegiene: Permutations of Subjectivity in the Televisual Age of Sex and Race, but I am toying with adding the term "Eyegasm," inspired by successful classes I have taught at SDSU and UCSD.

Some of my graphic adaptations and thefts (semiotic transmogrification!) appear below--more on my lecture shortly, but here's the facts:
