About speakers:
Elmo GONGZAGA obtained his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley specializing in the Visual and Spatial Cultures of Southeast Asia and the Global South. His book manuscript, Monsoon Marketplace, traces the imbricated genealogies of consumer capitalism, urban modernity, and media spectatorship in representations of commercial and leisure spaces in Manila and Singapore during the 1930s, 1960s, and 2000s. His latest publication is a forthcoming essay in Cinema Journal on autoethnographic excess in the global culture industry of poverty porn.
