Special Issue of *Women and Performance*
*The Performance of Mass Rape: War, Trauma, and Limit Phenomena
*Guest Editor: Sel J. Hwahng
From World War II to the present, the vast majority of armed conflicts have been fought in developing countries. For instance, according to Christian Scherrer, of 150 conflicts since World War II, 130 have been fought in developing countries. During the period from 1985 to 1996, the proportion of armed conflicts in Latin America remained constant, those in Asia and Europe declined, and the proportion of conflicts in Africa greatly increased. And currently 44% of armed conflicts occur in Africa. Women and children are often disproportionately affected by armed conflict and mass rape is often systematically used as a weapon of war.
To consider mass rape systems in the context of "performance", however, may give one pause. Yet human rights discourse often refers to "actors", i.e. participants, in crises or emergencies within specific situated "theaters", i.e. places of enactment of significant events or actions. And according to Norma Field, "limit phenomena" are catastrophes situated at the limits of comprehension, yet they demonstrate the urgency of confronting reality.
This special issue will therefore interrogate how mass rape systems from World War II to the present have been executed, acknowledged, and addressed through actors performing within theaters of particular armed conflicts, genocides, massacres, and complex emergencies. Mass rape systems from World War II to the present in regions such as Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe during armed conflict will be examined. Traumatic effects of mass rape systems in both individuals and groups will also be interrogated. How can focused attention on these limit phenomena also reveal new insights on gender, race, ethnicity, political economy, social formations, and human agency?
Mass rape systems during armed conflict may include but are not limited to the following: Pacific War/World War II (including the Japanese military sex slavery system and the Rape of Nanjing); Bangladesh War of Liberation; Vietnam War; Colombian Armed Conflict; Guatemalan Civil War; Balkan Conflicts (including Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo); Angolan Civil War; Mozambican Civil War; Salvadoran Civil War; Myanmar (formerly Burma) Civil War; Liberian Civil Wars; Rwandan genocide; Sudanese Civil Wars and Darfur conflict; Congo Wars and Civil War (Democratic Republic of Congo); Ugandan Armed Conflict; and Sierra Leone Civil War.
This special issue will address some of these questions:
-What are the ritualized aspects and practices of mass rape systems?
-How do mass rape systems perform gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, nationalism, and religion?
-How do colonial, postcolonial, Cold War, and post-Cold War geopolitical dynamics inform and shape actors within mass rape systems situated in particular theaters of armed conflict?
-How does the act of repeatedly bearing witness to mass rape render such atrocities representable or unrepresentable, intelligible or unintelligible?
-How do trauma, terror, and disconnection perform in mass rape systems?
-How are responses to mass rape systems performed and/or ritualized?
-How are the representations of mass rape systems performed in various geopolitical locations, including the U.S.?
-How can the investigation of performative aspects of mass rape systems reveal new insights and applications for the prevention of and intervention in such atrocities?
-How can the investigation of performative aspects of mass rape systems reveal new insights and applications for the treatment of trauma from such atrocities?
Topics may include but are not limited to the following:
--Child Soldiers—Female and/or Male (including human trafficking; rape as initiation into military service; coerced sexual slavery as military duty; and militarized youth cultures)
--Traumatic Effects (including physical and reproductive injuries from rape and torture; physical and sexual mutilations; social disintegration; PTSD such as terror, hyperarousal, intrusion, constriction, and disconnection; silencing; historical trauma; and secondary trauma or injury)
--Ethnocultural Gender/Sex Systems (including gender and sexual identifications and practices before, during, and after armed conflicts; and new gender, sexual, and/or kinship formations arising from mass rape trauma)
--Religion (including religion as justification for rape; mass rape across religious differences; mass rape within same religious affiliation; Christianization and Islamization of genocide, massacres, and mass rape; and syncretic religious formations in mass rape systems)
--Drug Use (including coerced substance use as contraception; and voluntary or coerced substance use to facilitate mass rape and sexual exploitation)
--HIV/AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and Sexual and Reproductive Health (including HIV/STIs used as weapons of war; HIV/STI seroprevalence of women and children after armed conflict; HIV/STI seroprevalence of child soldiers; forced pregnancies; forced contraception; forced abortions; and sexual traumas such as vaginal fistulae and prolapsed uteri)
--Weapons (including arms trafficking of light weapons; transnational profiteering; Cold War geopolitical nation-state maneuvers; colonial capital accumulation; and postcolonial and post-Cold War crises of failed and unraveling states)
--Propaganda (including entrenchment of racial, ethnic, or religious identifications and differences; and gender disparagement and objectification)
--Documentation of Atrocities and Violence (including journalism; interviews; testimonies; case studies; online and print publishing; and research methodologies)
--Interpretation of Atrocities and Violence (including interpretive performance, theater, film, video, websites, and fiction; memoirs; and reflections by humanitarian workers)
--Demobilization, Demilitarization, Rehabilitation, Reintegration, and Destigmatization of Mass Rape Survivors and Actors (including psychosocial, biomedical, and indigenous healing modalities; and capacity building, best practices, and strategies employed by indigenous and transnational NGOs)
-- Justice Systems and Grassroots Organizing (including local, national, and international legal claims and actions; indigenous and transnational women's groups and organizing; and alternative social formations and peer networks among survivors)
--Comparative analyses between mass rape systems are especially welcome

UCLA's Amerasia Journal Publishes "Pacific Canada: Beyond the 49th Parallel"

UCLA Amerasia Journal Publishes "Pacific Canada: Beyond the 49th Parallel"
Los Angeles-UCLA Asian American Studies Center announces the publication of "Pacific Canada: Beyond the 49th Parallel" a special commemorative issue of Amerasia Journal. The issue gathers twenty Canadian scholars, writers, and artists in a 175-page illustrated issue to commemorate the 1907 Pacific coast race riots against Asians in San Francisco, Bellingham, WA, and Vancouver, British Columbia.
Prof. Henry Yu, of UCLA and the University of British Columbia, the co-editor of the volume together with Prof. Guy Beauregard of National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, states that this issue examines "how the 49th parallel, marking the political border that separates Canada and the United States, has made a difference in how Asian migrants acted and were treated" from their entry and settlement to the present.
Yu, in his introduction to the issue, talks about the Chinese from Guangdong province who came to British Columbia to mine gold and build transcontinental railroads in the 1850s and 1880s; later on, Japanese migrants went to Canada to work in fishing, farming, and agriculture, followed by Punjabi Sikhs in the 1970s. Yet, as Yu points out, Canada as part of the global British Empire differed from the U.S. in both its racial and immigrant policies, and its past and present responses to race relations. According to Prof. Erika Lee, "Racism towards Asians-especially the belief that "Asiatic invasions" threatened the racial, social, and economic well-being of the U.S. and Canada-was also transnational in scope."
In addition, the history of Asians in Canada must also be studied in relation to issues of First Nation peoples of Canada. Rita Wong, professor and cultural activist, reminds us to actively" support aboriginal self-determination, " otherwise Asian Canadians will inadvertently become part of the dominant colonizing history of Canada."

The focus of the special volume is on both historical and contemporary issues. Historical issues include an examination of the 1907 Pacific Coast Race Riots (Erika Lee) mentioned above; a study of Japanese American cultural activism before and after World War II (Masumi Izumi); and revisiting the house of Canadian author Joy Kogawa (Glenn Deer).
Other writers examine the scholarship on Asian Canadians in comparison to scholarship on Asian Americans: this includes essays by Iyko Day and Christopher Lee, whose article, "The Lateness of Asian Canadian Studies" talks about the relatively recent attention given to Asian Canadians by scholars on either side of the 49th parallel.
According to Lee, "what seems to be lacking are academic institutions-
Art historians and artists, and writers themselves present their work and point of view: including Alice Ming Wai Jim, Barbara Bickel, Valerie Triggs, Stephanie Springgay, Rita Irwin, Kit Grauer, Gu Xiong, Ruth Beer, Pauline Sameshima, Ashok Mathur, Rita Wong, and Hiromi Goto.
This limited edition volume, with artwork by Canadian artists, can be ordered directly through the website of the UCLA Asian American Studies Center: (http://www.aasc.
