SUMMARY:Dr. Karan Singh\, "Nava Vedanta: Ancient Indian Philosophy of Non-dualism & its Modern Transformation."
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Karan Singh\nDistinguished Indian statesman and diplomat Dr. Karan Singh will deliver the 2011 Satyajit Ray Lecture at UC Santa Cruz on Saturday\, September 24\, at 5:30 p.m. in the Music Recital Hall. \nCurrently the president of the Indian Council of Cultural Relations in New Delhi\, Singh is the last Maharaja of Kashmir\, and served as its governor for 18 years. \nHe was a member of Indira Gandhi’s cabinet when she was prime minister\, and has also served as Indian ambassador to the United States. \nRecognized as one of India’s outstanding thinkers and leaders\, Singh is the author of numerous books and has lectured widely—both in India and abroad–on political science\, philosophy\, education\, religion and culture. \nSingh will speak on the topic: “Nava Vedanta: Ancient Indian Philosophy of Non-dualism & its Modern Transformation.” \nThe lecture will be preceded by a screening of renowned Indian Director Satyajit Ray’s last movie: Agantuk (The Stranger) at 3 p.m. in the UCSC Media Theater. \nThe New York Times has described the film as “a gentle\, exquisitely realized comedy\, beautifully observed\, sweet\, and enriching\,” and the New Yorker called it “ a graceful comedy made in a serene\, leisurely classical style.” \nThe London Times noted: “Ray’s eye for detail and the old magic of his genius can’t let go of The Stranger\, a tour-de-force. The camera is wielded like a conductor’s baton as it strikes chords deep in the mind.” \nThe lecture and film screening are presented by The Satyajit Ray Film and Study Center (Ray FASC)–a research center in the Humanities Division at UC Santa Cruz. The center is dedicated to the preservation of Satyajit Ray’s cinematic\, literary and artistic work. \nUnder the direction of founding director Dilip Basu\, Ray FASC has a collection of 32 of Ray’s 36 films\, including 22 fully restored prints. \nThe restoration work is conducted at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles—the same academy that honored Ray with a special Oscar in 2002 for his lifetime achievements as a filmmaker. \nBasu noted that film prints from Ray FASC are now screened at major museums and film festivals around the world. \n“During the past year\, we have curated complete retrospectives at film museums in Munich\, Zurich\, Basel\, London\, Paris\, Singapore and at the Lincoln Center in New York\,” said Basu. “We expect to continue to have similar global reach in the foreseeable future.” \nBasu noted that Ray FASC also hosts scholars\, students\, and film makers who visit its facility for research and study. \nA professor of history at UC Santa Cruz\, Basu also teaches an annual upper division class titled  “Cinema and History: Film Author Satyajit Ray.” \nFor tickets and/or more information about the Satyajit Ray Film and Study Collection\, go to:  http://satyajitray.ucsc.edu\, call 831-459-4012 or e-mail satyajit@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Every Protection: Exploring Pregnancy and Childbirth in the Jewish Pale of Settlement
DESCRIPTION:Debra Olin: Images and  Nathaniel Deutsch: Text\n\nSeptember 27 – October 11\, 2011\nOpening reception: Tuesday\, September 27\, 4-7pm\n \nEloise Pickard Smith Gallery\, Cowell College\, UC Santa Cruz\n \n \nUntil 1917\, most Jews of the Russian Empire were restricted to a region called the Pale of Settlement\, where they created their own distinctive folk culture. In 1914 the writer\, socialist revolutionary\, and ethnographer\, Sh. An-sky\, produced a massive Yiddish ethnographic questionnaire to document this culture\, including many questions concerning Jewish customs and beliefs connected to pregnancy and childbirth. In The Jewish Dark Continent: Life and Death in the Russian Pale of Settlement (Harvard University Press)\, UCSC professor Nathaniel Deutsch has translated An-sky’s questionnaire into English for the first time\, placing it within a rich historical context. Collaborating with Deutsch and inspired by her deep interest in Jewish women’s folk traditions\, Debra Olin has created illuminating artworks that represent and explore the dangerous\, magical\, and\, above all\, powerful experience of pregnancy and childbirth in the Pale of Settlement. \nDebra Olin is a printmaker\, living and working in Somerville\, Massachusetts. She received her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 1980. Olin has shown in exhibitions across the U.S.\, South Africa and Cuba. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Boston Public Library; Temple Israel\, Brookline\, Mass.; YIVO Institute\, NYC; The DeCordova Museum\, Lincoln\, Mass.; and the Fogg Art Museum\, Harvard University. In 2004 Debra was awarded the Rappaport Prize\, the largest public annual award to an individual artist in New England. For more information\, visit the artist’s website: http://debraolin.com/.\n \nGallery hours: 11am – 4pm\, Tuesday – Sunday. For more information call: (831) 459-2953. Gallery is fully accessible.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Pranav Anand\, "Assessing the pragmatics of experiments: The case of scalar implicature"
DESCRIPTION:Pranav Anand\n“There is a growing impetus to examine pragmatic phenomena experimentally. Potentially complicating these investigations is the way in which the experimental environment itself shapes participants’ models of extra‐linguistic context. A spate of recent results collectively suggest that the computation of scalar implicature may be sensitive to a host of factors: task structure\, social norms\, and type of response elicited. However\, these results provide only a few points in a vast space of potential task parameters\, thereby limiting our ability to systematically model the interaction between linguistic forms\, context and pragmatic inference. This talk reports ongoing work to systematically investigate the parametric space of task design. We find that implicature calculation rates are sensitive to both the structure of the response elicited (e.g.\, scalar vs. unordered) as well as the task prompt (whether the participant judges “accuracy”\, “informativity”\, or “goodness”)\, and discuss the methodological lessons of this kind of work.” \nPranav Anand is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz. Professor Anand’s research focuses largely on two matters: how context intrudes into or guides the interpretive process and how perspective is grammatically represented. These are manifested by my interest in the de re/de se/de dicto contrasts\, the nature of subjectivity in evaluative and epistemic predication\, and the structure of indexical shift. \nHis current projects include the fine lexical semantics of attitude verbs; real-time processing of implicatures and plurality; computational modeling of multi-party discourse; and computational modeling of high-level discourse plans\, especially those involved in argumentation and persuasion. \nThis talk is presented by the Department of Linguistics.
