SUMMARY:Hotze Rullman: "Epistemic Modality in the Scope of Past Tense"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: For many years the majority opinion in the literature has been that epistemic modals cannot scope under past tense (e.g.\, Groenendijk & Stokhof 1975\, Cinque 1999\, Abraham 2001\, Drubig 2001\, Fagan 2001\, Condoravdi 2002\, Stowell 2004\, Hacquard 2006\, Borgonovo & Cummins 2007\, Demirdache & Uribe-Etxebarria 2008\, Laca 2008). This view is based largely on the claim that epistemic modals in unembedded contexts are never interpreted with a past temporal perspective (in the sense of Condoravdi 2002). \nIn this paper we provide data from four languages (English\, Dutch\, Gitksan\, and St’át’imcets) to show that epistemic modals can scope under past tense. We thus join the minority of researchers who believe that past-T.P. epistemic readings are possible (e.g.\, Eide 2003\, Boogart 2007\, Martin 2009\, Homer 2010\, von Fintel and Gillies 2008)\, but unlike many of these authors\, we do not explain away the readings as dependent on free indirect discourse or some other exceptional mechanism. On the contrary\, we claim that the null hypothesis holds with respect to interactions between tense and the conversational backgrounds of modals: there are no grammatical constraints. In principle\, any modal can have any type of conversational background\, irrespective of its relation to tense. \nOur analysis is a modified version of Condoravdi’s\, with certain restrictions removed; we also build on insights from Abusch (2008). For English\, we rely not on have optionally scoping over the modal\, but on have optionally triggering the defective past tense of might. This is independently motivated by the behaviour of might and the other defective past-tense modals in sequence of tense environments (cf. Stowell 2004). \nHotze Rullman is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia. This talk is presented by UCSC’s Department of Linguistics.

SUMMARY:Digital Art & Democracy: People\, Places\, Participation
DESCRIPTION:Have recent developments in digital art led to new “democratic” spaces? Who constitutes a democratic subject in on-line digital space? What does a new politics of representation look like? How do race and ethnicity appear (or disappear) in such spaces? How can artworks constitute democratic audiences? Join scholars and artists as they discuss these topics and recent online projects. Participants include Jennifer Gonzalez\, Carlos Motta\, Soraya Murray\, Warren Sack and Peggy Weil. \nhttp://people.ucsc.edu/~jag/digitalartdemo.html

SUMMARY:Robert Weinberg: "Blood Libel in Late Imperial Russia: Popular Antisemitism\, the Occult and the Trial of Mendel Beilis"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Weinberg will explore the nature of popular antisemitism in the Russian Empire during the trial of Mendel Beilis\, a Kievan Jew accused of ritual murder in 1913. Concerned citizens sent letters to the prosecution during the trial in order to buttress the government’s case against Beilis. The letters permit us to delve into the popular beliefs and practices of the literate public and provide insight into the social\, intellectual\, and cultural tensions caused by late Imperial Russia’s encounter with modernity. \nBio: Professor Weinberg has been teaching at Swarthmore College for nearly 25 years. His research has focused on various aspects of the Jewish experience in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union. His first book examined Jewish-gentile relations in the context of the 1905 revolution in Odessa (Blood on the Steps: The Revolutoin of 1905 in Odessa) and his second book explored the establishment of the Jewish Autonomous Region\, aka Birobidzhan\, in the Soviet Far East (Stalin’s Forgotten Zion: Birobidzhan and the Making of a Soviet Jewish Homeland). He is currently putting the finishing touches on a document reader about the Beilis Affair.
