'Re-animating the Vanishing Woman: From Invisible Labour to Embodied Gesture'
A research talk in relation to Prof Voci's video essay (https://intransition.openlibhums.org/article/id/15459/) which explores the intersections between feminism and animation, by focusing on the disappearance and reappearance of women animators’ bodies, and in particular their crafting and generative hands. I assemble cut-out fragments of an animated dialogue across different times and places, between the invisible labour – behind the screen – of early animation’s craftswomen and the embodied gesture – on screen –  of contemporary independent animateurs.

Paola Voci<https://www.otago.ac.nz/languagescultures/people/paolavoci> is Professor in Chinese and Asian Studies at the University of Otago. She specialises in the 'Chinese-accented' moving image, and, in particular, documentary, animation, and other hybrid video practices. She is the author of China on Video, a book that analyses and theorises 'light' movies made for and viewed on computer and mobile screens and co-editor of Screening China's Soft Power, an investigation on the role played by film and media in shaping China's global image. Her current research focuses on vernacular 'animateur' practices and postdigital documentary and examines their contribution to the theory and archaeology of the moving image.
