SUMMARY:Eric Porter: Book Reading and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Eric Porter\, Professor and Chair of American Studies\, will be reading from his new book The Problem of the Future World: W.E.B. Du Bois and the Race Concept at Midcentury.   \nThe Problem of the Future World is a compelling reassessment of the later writings of the iconic African American activist and intellectual W. E. B. Du Bois. As Eric Porter points out\, despite the outpouring of scholarship devoted to Du Bois\, the broad range of writing he produced during the 1940s and early 1950s has not been thoroughly examined in its historical context\, nor has sufficient attention been paid to the theoretical interventions he made during those years. Porter locates Du Bois’s later work in relation to what he calls “the first postracial moment.” He suggests that Du Bois’s midcentury writings are so distinctive and so relevant for contemporary scholarship because they were attuned to the shape-shifting character of modern racism\, and in particular to the ways that discredited racial taxonomies remained embedded and in force in existing political-economic arrangements at both the local and global levels. Porter moves the conversation about Du Bois and race forward by building on existing work about the theorist\, systematically examining his later writings\, and looking at them from new perspectives\, partly by drawing on recent scholarship on race\, neoliberalism\, and empire. The Problem of the Future World shows how Du Bois’s later writings help to address race and racism as protean\, global phenomena in the present.

SUMMARY:Marcelo Dimentstein & Alejandro Dujovne: "A fragmented tradition: Jewish studies in Argentina"
DESCRIPTION:Compared with other Jewish Communities in the diaspora\, the Argentine Jewish community presents a remarkable paradox: Although it is the largest\, most plural and probably the most highly institutionalized Jewish community in Latin America\, it has lacked a tradition of academic Jewish studies. Taking this paradox as our point of departure\, in this lecture we will explore the historical conditions that limited this development. The study of this question will allow us not only to approach the understanding of the current trends of Jewish studies in the country\, but also to focus our attention on some cultural aspects of Argentine Jewish history. \nMarcelo Dimentstein coordinates the JDC International Centre for Community Development (JDC-ICCD) based in Paris and Oxford.  He has a degree in Social Anthropology from the University of Buenos Aires and is currently enrolled in a PhD program in History. He did research on various aspects of the Jewish Community in Argentina including the Jewish labor Bund and the urban history of the Jewish neighborhood in Buenos Aires. His dissertation is about the role of JDC in Europe between 1989 and 1999. Marcelo is a member and co-founder of the “Núcleo de Estudios Judios” (NEJ)\, a group of young researchers dedicated to Jewish Argentinean History. \nAlejandro Dujovne holds a Ph.D. in social sciences (IDES-Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento). He is a member of the research project “Written culture\, printed word and intellectual field”  at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba\, and founder and member of the Jewish Studies Area of IDES (NEJ).  He is also member of the Board of Directors of the Latin American Jewish Studies Association (LAJSA). His doctoral dissertation examined the production and circulation of books in the Jewish community of Buenos Aires in the frame of a wider transnational geography of production and circulation of “Jewish books” between 1919 and 1979. His current research focuses on the social trajectories of five Jewish publishers who were key figures in the Argentine cultural modernization process between 1946 and 1970.

SUMMARY:Pranav Anand: “Detecting Persuasion and Argument Cross-Culturally”
DESCRIPTION:This talk reports on work that detects the kind of rhetorical structures a person uses when attempting to persuade an audience to believe or act in a certain manner. Professor Anand discusses the collection and annotation of 3000 English and 500 Arabic blogs for a variety of rhetorical structures implicated in persuasion by communication theorists and a computational system that tries to learn from these annotations. \nPranav Anand is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UCSC. \nSponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies with staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research\, UCSC.

SUMMARY:Keir Moulton: "CPs Don't Saturate - Deriving the Distribution of Clausal Complements"
DESCRIPTION:A classic puzzle about CPs is that they distribute differently than nominal arguments. This fact is reflected\, among other things\, by the order of complements in English (Stowell 1981) and the right-peripheral position of CPs in many OV languages (Hindi\, Farsi\, German). This distribution has traditionally been seen as a reflex of grammatical function\, most famously encoded by Stowell’s case resistance principle (or modern variants\, Pesetsky and Torrego 2004). \nIn this talk I argue that the syntactic distribution of clausal arguments has its source in the semantic type of CPs. I begin by establishing a puzzle: that clause-taking predicates only form non-event nominals. I argue that the explanation for this puzzle requires that CPs are never able to saturate an argument position (cf. Grimshaw 1990). This also prevents CPs from combining as the internal argument of verbs. The only solution\, I claim\, is to turn the vP into something with the meaning of a one-place\, non-verbal predicate\, with which the ‘complement CP’ can combine. We then show how this motivates a vP raising analysis of the rightward position of CPs (Larson 1988a\,b) as opposed to an anti-symmetry analysis (Zwart 1993\, and following) \nKeir Moulton (McGill University) will give this job talk as a candidate for the Linguistics department’s Syntax faculty position.

SUMMARY:Alon Tal: "War\, Peace and the Environment in the Middle East"
DESCRIPTION:The history of the Israeli- Arab wars has had environmental implications which are often overlooked. Some pessimists argue that the next war will in the Middle East will be fought over water resources\, especially with climate change so profoundly changing precipitation patterns in the Mediterranean region. As the conflict drags on past its 60th year\, we will consider how the environment of Israel and in neighboring lands has been affected. How might the environment provide a bridge to bring the parties together? Did past peace agreements do a good job of ensuring environmental cooperation? President Obama is not the first to propose a “peace park” as one way of breaking the impasse on the Golan Heights. Learn about Naharaim – the existing Israeli- Jordan peace park and consider Israel’s environment in a regional context. \nProfessor Tal’s career has been a balance between academia and public interest advocacy. He is presently an Associate Professor of Environmental Policy at Ben Gurion University and chairman of Israel’s green party – “the Green Movement”. Tal has held faculty appointments at Tel Aviv and Hebrew Universities in Israel\, and was a visiting professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Between 1990 and 1998 he was an adjunct faculty member at Harvard University. Dr. Tal was the founding director of Adam Teva V’din\, the Israel Union for Environmental Defense from 1990-1997\, a leading public interest law group and was chairman of Life and Environment\, an umbrella group for eighty environmental organizations in Israel from 1998-2003. In 1996\, Dr. Tal founded the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies\, a graduate studies center in which Israeli\, Jordanian and Palestinian students join environmentalists from around the world in an advanced interdisciplinary research program. He currently is chairman of the committee for land development that oversees forestry and land reclamation on the international board of the Jewish National Fund (KKL) and represents Israel’s Foreign Ministry at the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. In 2006 he was awarded the Charles Bronfman humanitarian prize for environmental leadership. In 2008\, in honor of Israel’s 60th anniversary the Ministry of Environment granted him a life achievement award at age 48.

SUMMARY:Dorian Bell: "A 'Paradise of Parasites': Hannah Arendt\, Anti-Semitism\, and the Imperial Imagination"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Bell’s in-progress Frontiers of Hate: Anti-Semitism and Empire in Nineteenth-Century France explores articulations between anti-Semitism and imperialism that shaped the emergence of European racial thought. Arguing that colonial expansion helped French anti-Semitism adopt its modern racializing guise\, the book also examines how anti-Semitism participated in the ideological elaboration of the imperial project. \nDorian Bell is Assistant Professor of Literature at UCSC. \nSponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies with staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research\, UCSC.

SUMMARY:Matt Wagers: “Grammar on the Trailing Edge of the Conscious Present: What We Can Learn about Memory from Language Processing”
DESCRIPTION:Language comprehension seems fast\, effortless and error-free — at least\, to the extent that we can introspect about it. Underneath this apparently seamless part of our day-to-day experience lies a complex working memory system. To avoid overwhelming our limited processing capacity\, information is constantly being shuffled back and forth between states of accessibility and storage\, between attention and inattention. As a consequence\, linguistic knowledge\, richly detailed and precise\, must be adapted to a working memory which is rapid and error-prone. How this adaptation can be achieved is revealing\, both about how we remember language and about how we forget it. \nCo-sponsored by the Institute for Humanities Research and the Department of Linguistics.

SUMMARY:Omer Preminger: "The Nature of Syntactic Computation: Evidence from Agreement"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I argue for a particular logic by which agreement (in particular\, agreement between a verb or tense/aspect/mood-marker and a noun-phrase) is related to grammaticality\, and show how this conclusion illuminates certain longstanding questions in the theory of syntax. In particular\, I argue that agreement is best captured in terms of an operation. Crucially\, while invocation of this operation is obligatory\, its successful culmination is not enforced by the grammar. Such a theory contrasts sharply with alternatives that enforce agreement through representational devices such as un/interpretable features (Chomsky 2000\, 2001). The argument is based primarily on so-called “omnivorous agreement” effects in the Agent-Focus construction of Kaqchikel and K’ichee’\, with supporting evidence from Basque\, Icelandic\, and Hebrew. I then show how this conclusion leads to: (i) a reexamination of the relations between movement\, agreement\, and grammaticality; (ii) a particular understanding of what it means for a language to allow\, or not allow\, quirky subjects; and ultimately\, (iii) the conclusion that both agreement and morphological case must be part of the syntactic component proper (contra certain recent proposals in the literature). \nOmer Preminger (MIT) will give this job talk as a candidate for the Linguistics department’s Syntax faculty position.

SUMMARY:Enrico Deaglio: "Reporting Italy"
DESCRIPTION:Full of mysteries\, theatrical effects\, unexpected violence and unexpected compromises\, recent Italian history is probably difficult to understand\, but surely is not boring. It was 32 years ago when Aldo Moro\, the most prominent Italian politician\, was killed by the Red Brigades in the center of Rome\, after a kidnapping that lasted 55 days. Thirty two years later\, if you look for the truth behind that kidnapping/homicide\, you won’t find it: that story is suspended\, forgotten… Italy is really a country you wouldn’t have imagined. \nEnrico Deaglio is a writer who has worked in journalism\, television\, and publishing for over 30 years. In 1996 he founded the political weekly Diario that he directed until 2008. He has written numerous books including La banalità del bene\, Storia di Giorgio Perlasca and Raccolto Rosso. He co-created several investigative films: Quando c’era Silvio (2006)\, Uccidete la democrazia (2006)\, Gli imbroglioni (2007)\, and Fare un golpe e farla franca (2008). His most recent book is Patria (2010)\, covering Italian politics from 1978-2010. \nHosted by the Language Program and Italian Studies

SUMMARY:Amy Rose Deal: "Case and Caselessness in Nez Perce"
DESCRIPTION:Morphological case systems are frequently described in terms of distinctions related to transitivity. To a first approximation\, the case system of Nez Perce nicely fits this bill: one case (ergative) marks transitive subjects\, a distinct case (objective) marks transitive objects\, and intransitive subjects remain in an unmarked (nominative) form. \n\n\n\n(1)\nTransitive: ERG subject\, OBJ object\n\n\n\nCaan-nim\npaa-‘yaX-n-a\n‘inii-ne\n\n\n\nJohn-ERG\n3/3-find-P-REM.PAST\nhouse-OBJ\n\n\n\nJohn found a house.\n\n\n(2)\nIntransitive: NOM subject\n\n\n\nSue\nhi-pay-n-a\n\n\n\nSue\n3SUBJ-arrive-P-REM.PAST\n\n\n\nSue arrived.\n\n\n\nHowever\, Nez Perce also shows us a series of circumstances in which the correlation between transitivity and case-marking breaks down. All transitive verbs allow both the case pattern in (1) (ERG subject\, OBJ object) and the “caseless” version in (3) (NOM subject\, NOM object). Both versions appear to be semantically and syntactically transitive; yet in the caseless version (3)\, the characteristic subject and object cases of the transitive pattern have disappeared. \n\n\n\n(3)\nCaseless transitive: NOM subject\, NOM object\n\n\n\nCaan\nhi-‘yaaX-n-a\n‘iniit\n\n\n\n\nJohn\n3SUBJ-find-P-REM.PAST\nhouse\n\n\n\nJohn found a house.\n\n\n\nWhat controls the choice of case in transitive clauses? I argue that the deciding factor lies in the grammar of object agreement: all and only clauses with successful object agreement show the ergative and objective case. This finding calls for a theory of morphological case which accords a crucial role not to transitivity itself but to the syntax and morphology of agreement. I propose a version of this view according to which case-markers are morphological realizations of agreement features. If this sort of view can be maintained\, case and agreement systems can be handled by grammatical theories which remain relatively featurally sparse. Language does not include related features for case and agreement; these are the same features appearing in distinct morphological environments. \nAmy Rose Deal (Harvard) will give this job talk as a candidate for the Linguistics department’s Syntax faculty position.

SUMMARY:Cameron McNeil: "The Chocolate Tree and Its History among the Ancient Maya"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will explore the use of the chocolate tree (Theobroma cacao L.) in Mesoamerican communities with a focus on the ancient Maya polity of Copan in Honduras. While the areas where cacao thrived in Mesoamerica were limited\, the seeds were easily transportable and became a valued source of stimulants. By 1900 B.C. cacao was used in feasting rituals as evidenced by chemical residue analysis of vessels from Paso de la Amada\, Mexico. For the pre-Columbian people T. cacao came to be associated with markers of life passage events (such as birth\, marriage\, and death)\, was linked to rulership and power\, and was used as a medium of exchange. Where the cacao grew well\, it was one of several important tree crops which undoubtedly aided populations in preserving forest cover while providing an esteemed comestible and trade good. Today\, traditional cacao consumption and production has been lost in many areas\, and where it remains it is on the wane for both positive and negative reasons.

SUMMARY:Barbara Thompson: "Curatorial Activism: Exhibiting Arts of the 'Other'"
DESCRIPTION:In curatorial practices today\, asking the question “What is art?” leads to a clear lack of a singularly “correct” answer. Expand the question to “What is African art?” and the territory becomes even murkier in that both the terms “art” and “Africa” resist definition. The navigation toward mutual understanding becomes an almost impassable quagmire of definitions\, territorialism\, and exclusionism\, especially when expanding these questions to the exhibition of arts from various cultures around the world. \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Barbara Thompson re-examines her use of curatorial activism in exhibitions and experimental interventions curated at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College\, which not only challenged older museological practices but also fostered open dialogue about the development of new paradigms. \nReadings are available from macs@ucsc.edu \nFor more information\, please contact Lucian Gomoll at macs@ucsc.edu or visit the MACS website at http://macs.ucsc.edu/ \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Museum and Curatorial Studies (MACS) Cluster\, and the History of Consciousness Department

SUMMARY:Sarah Abrevaya Stein: "In Search of a Novel Archive of the Jewish Past"
DESCRIPTION:What sources are essential to the study of the Jewish past? Where can they be found? In this talk\, Sarah Abrevaya Stein discusses her on-going efforts to stretch the linguistic\, geographic\, and conceptual boundaries of the Jewish past\, offering a scholarly travelogue of novel archives of Jewish history. \nSarah Abrevaya Stein is Professor and Maurice Amado Chair in Sephardic Studies at the Department of History at UCLA. Co-winner of the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature for 2010\, she received her A.B. from Brown University in 1993 and her doctorate from Stanford University in 1999. Her scholarship has ranged across the Yiddish and Ladino speaking diasporas and the European\, Russian\, American\, Ottoman and wider Mediterranean settings\, but is always engaged with the reasons for and manifestations of Jewish cultural diversity in the modern period. Stein is the author of Plumes: Ostrich Feathers\, Jews\, and a Lost World of Global Commerce (Yale University Press\, 2008)\, winner of the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature\, and Making Jews Modern: the Yiddish and Ladino Press in the Russian and Ottoman Empires (Indiana University Press\, hardback 2004\, paperback 2006)\, winner of the Salo Wittmayer Baron Prize for Best First Book in Jewish Studies for 2003 and finalist for the Koret Jewish Book Award in 2004. \nStein is now working on three book projects. With the support of a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship\, she is now writing Misfits: Classifying Jews and the Persistence of Empire\, a book that explores Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Jewish encounters with evolving legal systems whose shaping accompanied the dismantling\, persistence\, and transformation of empires across the globe over the course of the twentieth century. With Julia Phillips Cohen (Vanderbilt University) and the support of a National Endowment for the Humanities Scholarly Editions and Translations Grant\, Stein is also co-editing The Sephardic Studies Reader: 1730-1950 (Stanford University Press\, forthcoming). This documentary reader will feature over 300 translated\, original sources written over the course of two centuries by or about Sephardic Jews in the heartland of modern Judeo-Spanish culture (the Balkans\, Palestine\, and Turkey under Ottoman and post-Ottoman rule) and in crucial hubs of the Judeo-Spanish diaspora. Finally\, with Aron Rodrigue\, Stein is co-editing An Ottoman Rebel: Sa’adi Besalel ha-Levi and Jewish Salonica in the Nineteenth Century (Stanford University Press\, 2011)\, which will present an annotated translation of the first known memoir in Ladino. \nSarah Abrevaya Stein’s talk is presented by the Center for Jewish Studies with generous support by the David B. Gold Foundation.

SUMMARY:Whose City? Labor and the Right to the City Movements
DESCRIPTION:A one-day conference at the University of California Santa Cruz\nSponsored by the Center for Labor Studies & Urban Studies Research Cluster \nThe right to the city is…far more than a right of individual access to the resources that the city embodies: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city more after our heart’s desire. It is\, moreover\, a collective rather than an individual right since changing the city inevitably depends upon the exercise of a collective power over the processes of urbanization. The freedom to make and remake ourselves and our cities is…one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights. – David Harvey\, 2008 \n\nWorkers\, environmentalists\, and urban social movements have recently converged under a new banner: “the right to the city.” The phrase refers to the right of city dwellers—now the world’s majority—to democratically control development and resources in the cities in which they live .  In today’s global economy\, this “right” is profoundly challenged.  Social divisions are experienced increasingly in spatial terms—through gentrified housing markets and polarized job markets; unequal access to green space and unequal exposure to environmental risk; new modes of segregation and policing public space. Against this backdrop\, the process of urbanization itself has become a site of political contestation\, and the fight for the “right to the city” both a critique and call to organize. Bringing together leading scholars\, practitioners\, and activists from across California and the U.S.\, “Whose City?” will provide an opportunity to think critically and creatively about these emerging coalitions—from their historic roots to their possible futures\, from their major challenges to their major victories\, from their local to their global manifestations. \nPanels & Speakers\nKeynote: Whose City?\nDavid Harvey\, Distinguished Professor\, City University of New York \nI. Cities for People or Profit? Wage\, Housing\, and Economic Justice Campaigns\nUrban development is now a primary engine of economic growth and profit-making across the U.S. and globally. Yet the benefits of this growth are not equally shared. Rather\, cities have become centers of extreme inequality. Rents and property values soar in some cities\, waves of foreclosure devastate others. Wages\, subsidized housing\, unionized jobs\, and city services are cut across the board. In response\, urban social movements and labor groups turn to battles for living wages\, community benefits agreements\, and housing rights. \nGilda Haas\, Founder\, Strategic Action for a Just Economy; Co-Founder Right to the City national alliance: “Beyond Campaigns: Inequality\, Popular Education\, and Transformation” \nNari Rhee\, Associate Academic Specialist\, UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research & Education: “What Does Labor Bring to the Politics of Place?  Unions and the Right to the City movement in Silicon Valley”   \nStephanie Luce\, Associate Professor of Labor Studies\, Murphy Institute\, CUNY: “From Just Economics to Economic Justice: Taking Wage Campaigns to the Next Level” \nGretchen Purser\, Assistant Professor of Sociology\, Syracuse University:  “The Spectre and Spectacle of Eviction: Rethinking America’s Housing Crisis” \nII. Cities of Nature: From Environmental Justice to Green Jobs\nUrban growth transforms nature; the forces of nature reshape the city.  Rampant urban development has made this age-old dynamic increasingly unsustainable\, contributing to global warming\, species extinction\, water scarcity\, and toxic pollution. Meanwhile\, these conditions exacerbate inequalities of race and class\, in the US and globally.  Through coalitions of labor\, urban\, and green movements\, these conditions have also become the target of campaigns for environmental justice\, sustainable development\, and green jobs. \nJon Zerolnick\, Research Director\, Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE): “The Clean and Safe Ports Campaign: False dichotomies and the Underground Economy versus Coalition-building and the Power of Local Government” \nJeff Rickert\, National Policy Director\, Green For All and former Director\, AFL-CIO Center on Green Jobs: “A Brief History of the Green Jobs Movement” \nKevin Danaher\, Co-Founder of Global Exchange\, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Producer of the Green Festivals: “The Green Economy is the Future”  \nMelissa Checker\, Assistant Professor of Urban Studies\, Queens College\, City University of New York: “What Do You Mean by Green?’: Green Jobs in a Greed Economy\,” \nIII. Rights to the Global City: Race\, Class\, Gender and Citizenship across Borders\nImmigrant rights\, as well as racial\, ethnic\, and gender equality\, have long been central issues of urban justice\, and today only more so.  From day laborers to low paid service workers\, the men and women who sustain the global economy and build our cities are often marginalized by immigration status\, language\, culture\, and identity. This has motivated creative alliances between immigrant rights\, human rights\, and labor movements\, highlighting links between identity\, citizenship\, and the right to the city. \nFaranak Miraftab\, Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning\, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign: l“Global Restructuring of Social Reproduction and What it Means for the Right to the City Movements:Observations in a Transnational Packing Town in the Midwest.” \nJoshua Bloom\, PhD Candidate in Sociology\, UCLA: “Ally to Win: Black Community Leaders and SEIU’s LA Security Unionization Campaign.“  \nGihan Perera\, Director\, Miami Worker Center\, co-founder RTTC national alliance \nGerardo Dominguez\, Organizer\, United Food and Commercial Workers\, Local 5: “Immigrant Mercado Workers’ Struggle to Bring Justice to the Workplace” \nFor more information: http://urban.ihr.ucsc.edu/events/whose-city/ \nStaff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research
