Speakers
Arcadio Bolaños was born in Lima, Perú. He became an avid reader but also an
aspiring writer at a young age. In the past seven years, Bolaños has been
writing comic book scripts, and his stories have been published both in
print and digitally. Bolaños is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Spanish
Department at the University of California, Davis. His dissertation is about
masculinities and alternative/queer sexualities in contemporary Peruvian
narrative.
Hunter Kiley is a second-year M.A. candidate in the Department of Art and
Art History at the University of California, Davis. She is interested in
Japanese tea ceramics and utensils as well as representations of the
practice of Chanoyu in popular media like manga and anime. Her master’s
thesis examines James McNeill Whistler’s The Gold Scab and the problems of
genre in 19th-century portraiture and caricature.
Xuying Liu is a second-year M.A. student in art history at the University of
California, Davis. She previously focused on Chinese Song Dynasty political
history, the Song student movement, and the dissemination of public opinion
during the Song Dynasty, earning her M.A. in political history from Fudan
University. Her current master’s thesis research examines Lu Xun-themed
internet art, such as memes and spinoffs, that have become popular among
young Chinese audiences in the post-2010 social media era.
Srđan Tunić, a 2nd year M.A. student in art history at the University of
California, Davis, has a passion for researching contemporary art. His
interest in comics mostly revolves around exploring sci-fi utopian and
dystopian narratives, especially in the oeuvre of Hayao Miyazaki, Aleksa
Gajić, and Enki Bilal. His paper on Usagi Yojimbo takes a different approach
by addressing the representation of traditional cultural practices in Asian
American comics.
