SUMMARY:Clive Sinclair: "The Jew in the Crown"
DESCRIPTION:“The Jew in the Crown” will offer a brief examination of the ambiguous role of the semitic anti-hero in English literature; anti-heroes such as Shylock\, Fragin\, and Svengali\, whose half-life continues to radiate. \nClive Sinclair has published 13 books of fiction\, travel\, and autobiography\, some of which have been given prizes. Early in his career he was selected as one of the twenty Best of Young British Novelists. His most acclaimed collection of stories – The Lady and the Laptop – won both the PEN Silver pen for fiction\, and the Jewish Quarterly award for fiction. An earlier collection\, Bedbugs\, was recently republished by Syracuse University Press in its Library of Modern Jewish Literature. In 2008 he published Clive Sinclair’s True Tales of the Wild West\, an exercise in Dodgy Realism. He also leads a double-life as an academic and critic: he has published a study of Isaac Bashevis and Israel Joshua Singer – The Brothers Singer – and writes regularly for the Times Literary Supplement. His association with UCSC began in 1969\, when he arrived from England as a graduate student; it continued in 1980-81\, when he returned as a Visiting Lecturer\, as he did again in 2003. \nPresented by the Center for Jewish Studies\, with generous support from the David B. Gold Foundation. Staff support is provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Amelia Jones: "Activating the Feminist Body and the Curating of Feminist Art"
DESCRIPTION:The Museum and Curatorial Studies (MACS) Research Cluster presents:\nAmelia Jones\, Professor and Grierson Chair in Visual Culture\, McGill University \nThis paper takes off from a brief history of the curating of feminist art in the North American and European contexts. My aim is to think about the exhibition\, and the feminist show in particular\, as a junction between practice and theoretical thought\, a place of intersection between art making\, the writing of art history\, and the positing of critical interventions in institutions. I propose to look at these interrelated questions by a two-part inquiry\, looking at both a history of feminist curating and a small selection of practices that might\, precisely by maintaining an openness to ever- shifting structures of sexual and gender difference\, be impossible to “tame” fully through curatorial practice. \nThis is the final event organized according to the 2011-2012 MACS research theme Exhibitions and Performance. \nFor more information\, please contact Lucian Gomoll at macs@ucsc.edu or visit the MACS website at http://macs.ucsc.edu/ \nCo-sponsored by History of Consciousness\, History of Art and Visual Culture\, and Feminist Studies.

SUMMARY:Charles Post: "The American Road to Capitalism"
DESCRIPTION:University Press Books and the 2430 Arts Alliance invite you to join\nCharles Post for a reading and discussion of his new book: \nThe American Road to Capitalism:\nStudies in Class Structure\, Economic Development and Political Conflict\, 1620-1877\n\n“Charles Post’s new book\, The American Road to Capitalism\, is sure to become a reference point for debates among historians and Marxists about the transformation of the English colonies into the fully developed capitalist United States. […] it should be widely read\, appreciated for its insights and rigor\, and also debated.” —Ashley Smith\, International Socialist Review \n“This is a thoughtful\, learned\, stimulating\, challenging and altogether valuable volume. It reprints a series of reflections by the Marxist sociologist Charles Post on various aspects of the rise and evolution of capitalism in North America between the colonial era and the late 19th century. The book is anchored in a wide-ranging study of (and it duly credits) the work of generations of historians.” —Bruce Levine\, author of Confederate Emancipation: Southern Plans to Free and Arm Slaves during the Civil War\, in Against the Current \n“Explaining the origin and early development of American capitalism is a particularly challenging task. It is in some ways even more difficult than in other cases to strike the right historical balance\, capturing the systemic imperatives of capitalism\, and explaining how they emerged\, while doing justice to historical particularities… To confront these historical complexities requires both a command of historical detail and a clear theoretical grasp of capitalism’s systemic imperatives\, a combination that is all too rare. Charles Post succeeds in striking that difficult balance\, which makes his book a major contribution to truly historical scholarship.” —Ellen Meiksins-Wood\, York University\, author of The Origins of Capitalism: A Long View. \nUnable to analyze the dynamics of specific forms of social labour in the antebellum U.S.\, most historians of the US Civil War have ignored its deep social roots. To search out these roots\, Post applies the theoretical insights from the transition debates to the historical literature on the U.S. to produce a new analysis of the origins of American capitalism. \nCharles Post Ph. D. (1983) in Sociology\, SUNY-Binghamton\, is Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College-CUNY. He has published in New Left Review\, Journal of Peasant Studies\, Journal of Agrarian Change\, Against the Current and Historical Materialism. \nSponsored by the History of Consciousness Department. Co-sponsored by the Sociology Department and the History Department.

SUMMARY:Ondrej Skovajsa: "Written Voice: Walt Whitman’s first edition of Leaves of Grass (1855) and Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer (1934)"
DESCRIPTION:The Literature Department invites you to a talk by: Ondrej Skovajsa\, Visiting Fulbright Scholar \n“Written Voice: Walt Whitman’s first edition of Leaves of Grass (1855)\nand Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer (1934)”\nDiscussing first the relevance of oral theory when dealing with texts\, the paper deals with the strategies Whitman and Miller share to get their voices across to the reader. With some striking similarities already at the paratextual level\, the paper moves to stylistic features\, most important of which is the present tense: it aligns these works with the “future focus” of biblical orality that James Nohnrberg defines as contrary to the “nostalgia” of literature. Further\, the paper discusses how the two texts employ Marcel Jousse’s notion of “mimisme” as the rhythmical creative law of the universe. (Jousse’s notion is parallel to Dorothee Soelle’s notion of creative happiness\, and Elaine Scarry’s notion of beauty that demands a replication of itself.) On a still deeper level\, the paper discusses imitatio Christi strongly embraced by both authors: important is the two flâneurs’ “sympathy”\, and the notion of “rebirth as hermeneutics” – i.e. as resurrection of the spoken living logos from the “grave of the book”\, as discussed by Walter Ong’s in “Maranatha” (1977). Whitman and Miller remain in resurrection of – and constant dialogue with – their textual “fixations” on their further journeys. \nMr. Skovajsa is an assistant professor at Purkyně University in Usti nad Labem\, and a doctoral student at the Department of Comparative Literature at Charles University in Prague.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Boyarin: "Trickster's Children: Jewishness and the Generations of Anthropology"
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Boyarin is the Leonard and Tobee Kaplan Distinguished Professor of Modern Jewish Thought at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. He has also taught at Wesleyan University\, Dartmouth College\, the New School for Social Research and the University of Kansas. Boyarin received a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1998\, after receiving his Ph.D. in Anthropology at the New School for Social Research in New York in 1984. \nHis research and writing combine his backgrounds in anthropology and Yiddish to point toward new pathways in the study of Jewish culture. His first book\, as co-editor\, was From a Ruined Garden: The Memorial Books of Polish Jewry (1983 and 1998)\, which served as an introduction for younger\, English-speaking Jews to first-hand accounts of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. This was followed by Polish Jews in Paris: The Ethnography of Memory (1991)\, based on his dissertation fieldwork in Paris\, and by a volume on the life history of Yiddish scholar Shlomo Noble. Further ethnographic and critical essays\, including some dealing with the contemporary Lower East Side in New York\, were published in Storm from Paradise: The Politics of Jewish Memory(1992) and Thinking in Jewish (1996). He edited and contributed to The Ethnography of Reading (1993) and Remapping Memory: The Politics of TimeSpace (1994). With his brother\, Daniel Boyarin\, he co-edited Jews and Other Differences: The New Jewish Cultural Studies (1997). His interest in Zionism\, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict\, and revaluation of diaspora in contemporary Jewish life is reflected in Palestine and Jewish History (1996) and (again with Daniel Boyarin) Powers of Diaspora (2002). His books in recent years include Jewishness and the Human Dimension (Fordham\, 2008); Time and Human Language Now (with Martin Land; Prickly Paradigm\, 2009); The Unconverted Self: Jews\, Indians and the Identity of Christian Europe (Chicago\, 2009) and Mornings at the Stanton Street Shul: A Lower East Side Summer (Fordham\, 2011). \nThis event was made possible by generous support by the David B. Gold Foundation. Staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Sara M. Benson: "Locating Leavenworth: Prisons and Political Geography"
DESCRIPTION:This talk historicizes the placement of Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary (the U.S. nation’s oldest and largest federal prison designed as a replica of the U.S. capitol building) at the center of the nation in the post-Reconstruction 1890s. Drawing on understandings of political geography from feminist and critical race studies\, the talk traces the geography of prisons in what is now the U.S. Midwest\, maps the border politics and competing claims to law that brought the federal prison to Kansas\, and disrupts the conventional regional narrative of American prisons as North/South institutions. The talk locates Leavenworth in the afterlife of a civil war over slavery that began the Civil War and at the center of the federal strategy to establish\, police\, and dissolve Indian Territory. \nSara Benson received her Ph.D. from the Department of Politics and was part of the Designated Emphasis Program in Feminist Studies. She is now a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History at UCLA.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Kahana and Irene Lusztig: Documentary Reenactment
DESCRIPTION:Filmed reenactment has a long\, inglorious history: for decades from the origins of cinema\, it was a central aesthetic and conceptual method for both fiction and nonfiction filmmakers working with unrecorded pasts. With the invention of cinéma vérité\, an ethos which virtually banished reenactment overnight from the toolkit of “serious” historical documentary\, reenactment fell from favor during the 1960s. But in the past decade\, and with\nremarkable alacrity\, reenactment has been revived as a critical figure\, in all manner of film-historical writing\, both in and on film. UCSC Film and Digital Media professors Jonathan Kahana and Irene Lusztig consider some sources and implications of this renewed interest in reenactment as a trope of history\, with reference to and excerpts from two of Lusztig’s reenacted documentaries\, Reconstruction (2001)\, and The Samantha Smith Project (2005). In Reconstruction\, Lusztig unearths a dark family secret in search of answers and reconciliation\, when she travels to Bucharest to construct a portrait of her enigmatic grandmother. The title of the documentary is derived from a bizarre government propaganda film that reenacts the crime and trial of a robbery that “starred” her grandmother\, as a member of the infamous Ioanid Gang. Braiding together the story of the briefly-famous ten-year-old girl from Manchester\, Maine who became Yuri Andropov’s penpal at the height of the Cold War and a parallel personal narrative of travel to Russia fifteen years after the collapse of the Soviet Union\, The Samantha Smith Project explores the aftermath of the Cold War and the contemporary Russian landscape\, while meditating on notions of forgetting\, nostalgia\, and the manufacturing and dismantling of political enemies. \nPlease visit our website: http://artsresearch.ucsc.edu/vps/reenactment for more information.

SUMMARY:Stephen Tatum: “Cormac McCarthy\, Roberto Bolaño\, and the Natural History of Destruction”
DESCRIPTION:In his 1997 lecture series on literature and the air raids of the Second World War\, W.G. Sebald asks at one point “how ought such a natural history of destruction begin?” In the process of beginning himself to answer this question\, Sebald critiques the German literary failure to confront “the true state of the material and moral ruin in which the country found itself\,” to relay the “very real horrors” of the constitutive feature of the European postwar landscape: death.  As some critics have more recently observed\, death constitutes the very being not only of the Holocaust but also of the contemporary genocide accompanying neoliberalism or our globalizing world system. With Sebald’s question (and provisional answers to it) as a prompt\, this talk explores questions of style and affective dynamics in the representations of violence and genocide in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands exemplified by Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men and Roberto Bolaño’s 2666. \nAs I have argued in another context\, the postregional US West ought to be regarded as a rather spectral\, deterritorialized discursive terrain produced by the intersection of media imagery and the migration of transnational capital and human and animal bodies with particular geophysical terrains. These fictions by McCarthy and Bolaño specifically disclose how a postregional or global South economy of representation centers on the violent manner in which embodied laboring populations on both sides of the border are brought into and positioned in the spaces of relatively wealthy societies\, particularly its maquiladoras and the transportation networks produced by flows of drugs\, weapons\, and immigrants. Through an analysis of figures of suspended agency living in the aftermath of violent trauma\, I will speculate further on the ethical and political consequences of a forensic aesthetic combining pensiveness with parataxis. \nStephen Tatum is Professor of English and Director of the Environmental Humanities graduate program at the University of Utah\, where he teaches courses in US West literature\, theories of popular culture\, and environmental writing and ecocriticism. His recent publications include award-winning essays on postregional western American literature and culture\, an edited collection Reading ‘The Virginian’ in the New West\, and the books Cormac McCarthy’s ‘All the Pretty Horses’: A Reader’s Guide and In the Remington Moment. He is currently at work on a projected titled Morta Las Vegas. \nThis event is sponsored by the Institute for Humanities Research\, and the departments of American Studies and Literature.

SUMMARY:ChaeRan Freeze: "Crafting an Elite Russian-Jewish Identity: Subjectivity and Gender in Diaries of Zinaida Poliakova"
DESCRIPTION:ChaeRan Freeze\, an associate professor in Jewish history at Brandeis University\, has focused her research on the Jews of Russia and women’s and gender studies. Her first book\, Jewish Marriage and Divorce in Imperial Russia (Waltham\, 2001) examines the impact of modernization on Jewish family practices and patterns in Imperial Russia based on newly-declassified archival materials from the former Soviet Union. It received the Koret Foundation Publication Award and the Salo Baron Award for the Best First Book in Jewish Studies. She also edited Polin: Jewish Women in Eastern Europe\, Volume 18 (Oxford\, 2005) with Paula Hyman and Antony Polonsky. This volume is the first collection of essays devoted to the study of Jewish women’s experiences in Eastern Europe. She is presently completing a project\, “Everyday Jewish Life in Imperial Russia\, 1825-1914: Select Documents” (coauthored with Jay Harris\, Harvard University) which documents the “everyday” (Alltags) as a site of interaction with modernity where Jews confronted the unfamiliar\, and negotiated their environment in strategic and creative ways. This project received a Collaborative NEH Grant\, and will be published by the Brandeis University Press. Her new project is to publish the eight diaries of Zinaida Poliakova (1862-1952)\, a noble Jewish woman who described elite Jewish culture and life in tsarist Russia. \nThis event is made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Foundation. Staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Pranav Anand: "All I Want is Some Honest Answers to My Questions: Tracking Argumentation and Stance in Online Political Debate"
DESCRIPTION:Whereas a generation ago\, engaging in public discourse might have meant leafleting or writing letters to the editor\, today a host of venues exist online\, enabling meaningful dialogue on an unprecedented scale. It also provides researchers with an unprecedented look onto the diversity of positions people hold on a given issue align as well as the structure of argumentative combat in general. This talk will describe efforts to computationally discover both the variety of stances that people express in online debate and tactics through which they seek to defend their position. \nFollowing the lecture\, there will be a catered reception at the Stevenson provost house. \nPranav Anand is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz. Mr. Anand’s work concentrates on elucidating how contextual factors affect the meaning of linguistic expressions\, including expression of affect\, belief\, perspective\, and quantity.

SUMMARY:A Tribute to Adrienne Rich
DESCRIPTION:A Tribute to Adrienne Rich\nIt was in 1973\, in the midst of Black and women’s liberation movements\, the Vietnam War\, and her own personal distress\, that Adrienne Rich wrote and published Diving into the Wreck\, which garnered her the National Book Award in 1974. Rich accepted the award on behalf of all women. In the decades that followed\, Rich’s poetry\, essays\, and books addressed issues of feminist politics\, lesbian experience\, and Jewish identity\, and deeply engaged the critical concerns of racial and imperial oppression\, war and environmental degradation. Relentless in her commitment to social justice for all peoples\, her work has enlightened and inspired. She is considered\, in the last half of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century\, one of our greatest American poets. In this tribute\, members of our campus community will read from her work. \n \nSponsored by Literature Department\, Feminist Studies Department\, Porter College\, Oakes College\, Cowell College\, Merrill College\, Colleges 9 & 10\, Stevenson College\, Center for Cultural Studies\, Living Writers & the Creative Writing Program.
