DESCRIPTION:The Wits Media Studies Department will host this lunchtime research seminar with Dr Simidele Dosekun from University of Sussex. 'Eko for show' is a rhyming Nigerian expression that brands the city of Lagos - 'Eko,' in Yoruba - a showy and flamboyant place, its citizens given to spectacle, over-invested in appearances, competitively seeking to impress and indeed 'oppress' through visual and material display. This talk maps and surfaces the city in the postfeminist self-fashioning and self-representation of a set of elite Lagos women, showing how, including in its cosmopolitanism, a new transnational style of femininity makes particular local - Lagosian - sense. Dosekun is a lecturer in media and cultural studies at the University of Sussex. Her forthcoming monograph is on the fashioning of postfeminist subjectivities in Lagos.
