Mittwoch | 18.00 Uhr | Producing Charisma: Clothing and Unclothing the Fatherly Body Prof. Dr. Barbara Mittler, Universität Heidelberg, Centre of East Asian Studies The focus of this lecture is on the aesthetic charge of (un-)clothing the male body. We show how acts of dressing up (in the case of Mao) and undressing (in the case of Gandhi) built symbolic and moral capital or charisma for these men, especially among the vast peasant populations they tried to connect with through such sartorial acts. Adresse Völkerkundemuseum VPST Hauptstraße 235 69117 Heidelberg Homepage Veranstaltung Veranstalter Centre for Asian and Transcultural Studies (CATS); Völkerkundemuseum VPST Alle Termine der Veranstaltung '„No Parallel? The Fatherly Bodies of Gandhi and Mao”': This lecture series "No Parallel? The Fatherly Bodies of Gandhi and Mao" focuses on the two hyper-visible men of the twentieth century, Mahatma Gandhi and Chairman Mao, who had also been the object of Walter Bosshard’s fascination. It considers how these men have been transformed over the course of the last century through the work of visual imagery and image-events into globally recognizable “bio-icons.” Situated at the intersection of the visual politics of masculinity and the cultural politics of fatherhood, the talks seek to illuminate how the corporeal is critical to the affective and ethical reach of such bio-icons within the imagined communities of their respective nations.
