DESCRIPTION:This talk and film screening will explore how we can understa
 nd young Chinese mobilities beyond frameworks such as community and migr
 ant identity. In doing so\, he will also discuss the role visual researc
 h can play in deconstructing the taken for granted analytical categories
  we use in migration research. \n\nThis research film\, Tokyo Pengyou\, 
 examines how experiences of mobility spur young Chinese people living in
  Tokyo to reassess their understanding of politics\, identity\, friendsh
 ip\, and success. Developed from a wider project of 4 years ethnographic
  fieldwork among young Chinese people living in Tokyo\, the film follows
  two young Chinese musicians who met each other in the nightlife spaces 
 of Ikebukuro. Two young sojourners turned philosophers contend with the 
 competing expectations of living abroad within this film\, alongside the
  vicissitudes of getting along in Japan’s emergent communities of recent
  Chinese migration. Through this exploration\, the film portrays how two
  people have responded to the ‘cruel optimism’ of mobility\, alongside c
 ontinuities and changes in how young Chinese people construct a sense of
  'being at home in the world'.\n\n
