Love Your Films and Love Your Life: An Interview with Fan Popo
No full textInvited by the Institute for Screen Industries Research, the University of Nottingham, Chinese queer filmmaker and activist Fan Popo visited Nottingham in February 2018 for a series of events titled “‘Queer Cinema as Art, Activism and Industry’,” including research workshops, student seminars, and film screenings. Dr Bao Hongwei, Assistant Professor in Media Studies, interviewed Fan about the latter’s filmmaking career and his participation in transnational screen industries. This interview focuses on the status quo of queer independent filmmaking in a transnational context, with an emphasis on the opportunities and challenges that creative professionals face in increasingly commercialised and competitive work environment.Fan Popo is an independent filmmaker and queer activist from Beijing. He studied screenwriting at the Beijing Film Academy. After his graduation in 2007 he became a leading figure in China’s queer filmmaking and activist communities. His documentaries on LGBTQ and gender issues have been screened at film festivals around the world. Fan Popo is the author of Happy Together: A Complete Record of a Hundred Queer Films. He is also an organizer of the Beijing Queer Film Festival and the China Queer Film Festival Tour. In 2015, he sued China’s censorship authority, the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT), for banning his film Mama Rainbow from online video streaming platforms, and this became a landmark event for China’s queer activism. Fan’s films include: New Beijing New Marriage, Be a Woman, Chinese Closet, Mama Rainbow, The VaChina Monologues, and Papa Rainbow. Fan is currently based in Berlin, writing scripts and making new films
Digital video activism: Fan Popo’s queer Asian diasporic politics
No full textThis article examines queer Chinese filmmaker Fan Popo's fiction films and curatorial practices since he moved from Beijing to Berlin in 2017. It focuses on how Fan's subject position as queer Asian diaspora impacts on his filmmaking, identity and politics. In doing so, this article offers a critical insight into how people in the queer Asian diaspora use digital media and films to articulate their identity and politics. It also delineates the conditions and possibilities of the activist use of digital video and film in a transnational and diasporic context. By examining the continuities and discontinuities of Fan's digital filmmaking and screen activism, this article argues that Fan's recent adoption of the queer Asian diaspora identity has facilitated a context-specific, transnational, intersectional and transversal queer politics. It also showcases how digital video and film, situated in a transnational and diasporic context and used for political and activist purposes, can help articulate a more capacious understanding of Chineseness and queerness
Downstream Placement of FANS to Determine Fan Performance in Situ
No full textAccurate ventilation rate data are essential to maximizing the quality of aerial emission measurements. The fan assessment numeration system (FANS) devices have been widely used by U.S. researchers in measuring aerial emissions from mechanically ventilated livestock and poultry confinement. It is used to conduct in-situ calibration of building ventilation fans and thus development of the fan performance curve under the field operation conditions. The FANS device was originally intended to be placed in the upstream of the fan under in-situ calibration. However, certain field situations make it impractical to apply the FANS device as such. This study assessed the possible use of the FANS in the downstream of a ventilation fan, with the gaps between the FANS device and the discharge cone of the exhaust fan sealed by non-permeable fabric. Nine exhaust fans (1.22 - 1.32 m diameter) in laying-hen and turkey houses were tested with the FANS placed in upstream or downstream for a building static pressure range of 10 to 40 Pa. The results revealed that downstream placement of FANS device yielded 0.44 to 3.1% higher ventilation rate when compared to its upstream placement. This discrepancy is considered acceptable for in-situ fan calibration.This is an ASABE Meeting Presentation, Paper No. 095886.</p
Optimization design of annular axial cooling fan based on circumferential vorticity analysis
No full textAs complex axial flow machinery, lots of vortex distributes around engine cooling fan. Negative circumferential vorticity (CV) leads to low efficiency and power loss. In order to investigate the adverse effects of CV on aerodynamic performances of the fan, a mathematical physical relationship between CV and aerodynamic performances is established, and the location of the negative CV is found by the method of vorticity analysis. An outer ring is designed for annular cooling fan, and the parameter of aperture rate is defined in this paper. Both static pressure and power loss is overall considerate during the optimization process of the outer ring, and putting forward that optimum range of the aperture rate is different for various annular fans
On exploiting human domain workflows in cyber-physical systems
No full textIn this thesis, we describe a general methodology for enhancing sensing accuracy in cyber-physical systems that involve human domain workflows in noisy physical environment. A novel workflow-aware sensing model is proposed to jointly correct unreliable sensor data and keep track of states in a workflow. We also propose a new inference algorithm to handle cases with partially known states and objects as supervision. Our model is evaluated with extensive simulations. As a concrete application, we develop a novel log service called Emergency Transcriber, which can automatically document operational procedures followed by teams of first responders in emergency response scenarios. Evaluation shows that our system has significant improvement over commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) sensors and keeps track of workflow states with high accuracy in noisy physical environment.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-12-01The student, Hongwei Wang, accepted the attached license on 2016-12-06 at 15:52.The student, Hongwei Wang, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-12-06 at 16:57.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-12-07 at 09:47.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10458 on 2017-02-28 at 14:43:19Made available in DSpace on 2017-03-01T17:02:05Z (GMT).

Queer disidentification: Or how to cook chinese noodles in a global pandemic?
No full text© 2021 by the author(s). In this article, I offer a critical analysis of a video artwork titled Lerne Deutsch in meiner Küche (Learn German in My Kitchen) (2020), created by Berlin-based queer filmmaker Popo Fan. By focusing on Fan’s negotiation of racial, ethnic, and cultural identities in the video, I argue that Fan’s artwork offers a way to reimagine identities away from the identity politics that are widely circulated in the current pandemic discourse. My analysis draws on José Esteban Muñoz’s (1999) notion of ‘disidentification,’ which describes minority subjects’ complex processes of identification—in particular, instances of identifying partially, conditionally and contingently—with dominant identities, discourses and ideologies. In doing so, I unravel the intricate politics of identity in the current global pandemic and highlight the role of queer disidentification as an important critical intervention in the current political debate about the COVID-19 pandemic

QUEERLY INTIMATE: Friends, fans and affective communication in a Super Girl fan fiction community
No full textThis article examines the rise of the Girls' Love (GL) fan fiction community in contemporary China. More specifically, we focus on the 'Pink Super Girl Bar', an online fan fiction community devoted to the pairing of the contestants of the 2006 season of Super Girl, an entertainment program featured on Hunan Satellite TV that enjoys great popularity in the Sinophone world. Through an ethnographic account of the formation, convention and performativity of identities and socialities in this community, we demonstrate how Super Girl GL fans mobilize their emotional capital to create artworks, to have fun and to enrich their everyday lives. We argue that the GL fan fiction community has become a space of female homosociality, intimacy and affect in which a new generation of young Chinese women actively enact friendship and female subjectivity in a way that refuses the normalization of gender, sexuality and social relations. Moreover, by linking fan studies to affect studies and emotional geography, and by paying particular attention to indigenous concepts and cultural practices in mainland China's fan communities, we wish to contribute to fan studies with feminist, queer and transnational perspectives
