What Do You Mean By That?261: How I Stopped Being a Model Minority, with Anne Anlin Cheng Today's episode seems to be addressing this question: does politics show up in our everyday lives? Maybe even in our most intimate relationships? And while a lot of folks may be saying politics doesn't impact me, I don't do politics… we think the actual answer for most of us in this country is a resounding YES (in fact, we've recorded whole episodes and written whole book chapters on this very topic!). Yes, politics impacts our daily lives, including being in our marriages, our parent-child relationships, and more. We're privileged to have th...

Let’s Talk Memoir138.

Known for her groundbreaking books, The Melancholy of Race, Second Skin, and her recent publication, Ordinary Disasters, Dr. Cheng challenges conventional narratives around the model minority myth and how it intertwines with race, gender, and identity. She and I explore the nuanced relationship between beauty, art, and the human experience, unpacking how cultural constructs shape our perceptions of ourselves and others. It's a transformative conversation that invites you to see the...

越烤越糊 Overcooked第十八道：我不是你的「翻译官」一个月未更新，好久不见！还记得去年五月，我们制作了一期漫谈影视与生活中「鸡同鸭讲」现象的节目，画下了 「翻译」系列专题 的大饼。上期节目着眼于人们在多语言环境中越过翻译、直接交流的情况，那这期我们就来细读「翻译」这一职业的几个典型形象——不被信任的汉奸、转译信仰的传教士、大国崛起中的翻译官、握有超能力的先知与灵媒……
对翻译角色的着墨在影视作品中并不多见，在历史与生活中更是常常被忽视。我们怀疑翻译的政治立场与文化身份的纯洁，忽略翻译工作中的情感劳动，更常将翻译视作附属的、表演性的、故而高度性别化的工作。翻译究竟是让渡了自我，或是丰富了自我的定义？这些问题诞生自文化的碰撞与交流之初，如今仍在不断演绎。翻译的传说，也是我们以他人的语言为镜、重新理解自我的故事。
本期速览
[01:49] 「鸡同鸭讲」那期的延续，聊聊担任「翻译」的人
[03:29] 「汉奸」，不被信任的中间人（高危职业！）
[08:20] 电影中的翻译角色，电影自身的翻译功能
[14:30] 冲突中的合作者/通敌者：沟通是为了理解或对立？
[22:25] Afong Moy的一生，及她身边更被忽略的翻译
[32:47] 翻译工作中被忽略的情感劳动
[39:27] 日本长崎与香港道风山：「传教士」该如何“翻译”宗教？
[52:50] “舍弃自己的语言”是为了丰富自我的定义
[63:16] 精英的、附属的、女性化的「翻译官」——请停止扁平化外语学生的梦想！
[77:11] “女人没有母语”：在语言缝隙间争取主体性的新女性
[82:55] 作为软件、先知与灵媒的翻译

The Good RobotGender, Technology, and Racial Embodiment with Anne Anlin ChengIn this episode, we chat to Anne Anlin Cheng, Professor in the Department of English at Princeton University and author of Ornamentalism. We discuss how Asiatic femininity has historically been associated with ornamental extravagance and objecthood, and why we see so many of these stereotypes in visions of the future, like Ghost in the Shell, Bladerunner and Ex Machina, which are populated with geishas and concubines. [We would like to apologise for the sound quality on this episode, we had technical difficulties]

This episode is mostly an anthology of some of the semi amusing racial microaggressions that we have encountered as East Asian women. This is not to diminish the racism we face. In fact, making light of these stories is how we cope with how traumatizing it is to be conditioned to accept racist behavior. Our experiences are also not representative of the experiences of all Asian people in America. We are acutely aware that people in the Asian community suffer from structural violence, not just microaggressions. But it’s lunar new year! So if you want ~real talk~, check out our pr...
