 sick\, Professor of\nMusic\, NYU\, no longer is able to attend\nThe last 1
 5 years have witnessed great experimentation in the\nways scholars of gend
 er studies\, sexuality studies and postcolonial\nstudies interrogate the s
 ociality and power of contact----contact\nthat ranges in scale from the in
 terpersonal to the transnational to\nthe technologically mediated forms an
 d registers in-between.\n“Making Contact” brings together three renowned s
 cholars whose\nprominent voices in their fields sound the importance of\nu
 nderstanding the affiliative parts of social life and the\nstructures of s
 ocial power that too often disappear under the radar\nof cultural criticis
 m. Each of them de-centralizes the identitarian\nsubject---as authors\, sp
 eakers and hearers---and turns a critical\neye toward issues of form and d
 issemination\, exchange and\ncirculation: the very conditions of making co
 ntact.\n
