SUMMARY:Maziar Toosarvandani:  "Gapping is VP Ellipsis "
DESCRIPTION:Where does the gap in gapping — e.g. Some had ordered mussels\, and others swordfish — come from? The traditional answer is deletion (Ross 1970\, Hankamer 1979\, among others). Johnson (2009) presents a formidable challenge to this view. He argues that gapping cannot arise through deletion because gapping has several unique properties that distinguish it from more familiar deletion operations\, such as VP-ellipsis. Instead\, Johnson proposes that the gap in gapping arises through ‘low coordination’ — coordination of vPs — and across-the-board movement. \nFirst\, I argue that across-the-board movement cannot be a general account of gapping\, since it is not able to derive the gap in coordination structures with corrective but (Vicente 2010\, Toosarvandani\, to appear). Then\, I revive a version of the deletion account\,  in which gapping is VP-ellipsis in a low-coordination structure. This correctly generates gapping in corrective but sentences. Moreover\, once the information-structural properties of low coordinations are taken into consideration — low coordinates must have parallel focus structures — it also accounts for the unique properties of gapping. \nReferences \nRoss\, John Robert. 1970.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Kaplan: "Turning social categories into biological realities: 'Race' made biological"
DESCRIPTION:Biological facts can neither determine nor justify the racial categories identified in our ordinary social discourse. Claims to the contrary confuse our ability to find biological correlates to populations with our social reasons for picking out and maintaining those categories over time. Using recent arguments surrounding “race” and medicine as an example\, I argue that rejecting misguided claims regarding the biological nature of “race” remains important if we are to respond appropriately to the injustices inherent in the fundamental importance that socially ascribed racial categories continue to have in determining people’s life-prospects \nDr. Jonathan Kaplan‘s main research interests lie in the Philosophy of Biology and in Social and Political Philosophy. His recent publications include work on human behavior genetics\, on the conceptual foundations of evolutionary biology\, on issues surrounding the roles that race plays in medicine and in housing\, and on the discourses surrounding race and human biology more generally. He is currently an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Oregon State University.\nArticle of interest: \nPrisoners of Abstraction? The Theory and Measure of Genetic Variation\, and the Very Concept of “Race”\nby Jonathan Michael Kaplan & Rasmus Grønfeldt Winther

SUMMARY:Gail Hershatter: "Rural Women\, Memory\, and China’s Collective Past"
DESCRIPTION:The 47th Annual Faculty Research Lecture will be given by Distinguished Professor of History\, Gail Hershatter\, on Tuesday February 12th\, 2013 at 7pm at the Music Recital hall in the Performing Arts Complex. A reception in the lobby will immediately follow the lecture. Doors open at 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public. Parking $4. Doors open at 6:30pm \nWhat can we learn about the Chinese revolution by placing a doubly marginalized group—rural women—at the center of the inquiry? In this talk\, Gail Hershatter explores changes in the lives of women in rural Shaanxi province during the early decades of state socialism\, the 1950s and 1960s. She suggests that we think of gender not as a structure\, but rather as a fractured\, unpredictable\, and expansive terrain. Beginning with the memories of a former child daughter-in-law turned village activist\, she asks whether rural Chinese women had a revolution\, and if so\, when and what sort of revolution it was. Such questions encourage us to consider others that preoccupy historians: when is gender a useful category of historical analysis? How is the historical record shaped in interactions with the present moment? What counts as an event? Who gets to decide?

SUMMARY:Joseph Sabbagh: "Specificity and Objecthood in Tagalog"
DESCRIPTION:LINGUISTICS COLLOQUIUM\nJoseph Sabbagh (UT Arlington) \nCurrent analyses of the syntax of transitive constructions in Tagalog (Austronesian\, Philippines) are constructed around the claim that the theme argument of a transitive verb\, if it is semantically specific\, must be realized as the subject of a ‘theme-subject’ clause. In reality\, a specific theme may be realized in one of three different ways: (i) as the subject of a ‘theme-subject’ clause; (ii) as an oblique-marked direct object of an `actor-subject’ clause; or (iii) as an “ordinary” (genitive marked) direct object of an ‘actor-subject’ clause. Which of these options is available depends on the type of theme involved: Option(iii) is not available for pronouns or proper nouns\, but is available for other specific and non-specific themes; options (i) and (ii) are unavailable for non-specific themes; and all three are available for all other types of specific theme. \nUnderlying these different morpho-syntactic options\, I argue\, is a clause structure in which there are at least three distinct syntactic positions available for theme arguments. Pronoun and proper noun themes obligatorily occur in the highest of these three positions (a position that is above the external argument)\, while non-specific themes occupy the lowest of these positions (the base/theta-position of the theme). Otherspecific themes occupy an intermediate position within vP (below the external argument\, but above the base/theta-position of the theme). Much of the talk is devoted to motivating these three syntactic positions. This particular distribution of syntactic positions provides positive evidence for proposals that postulate a direct\,formally coded\, correspondence between syntactic prominence and the semantic/pragmatic prominence relations posited by relational/markedness hierarchies—in particular\, the Definiteness Scale (Pronoun > Proper noun > Definite > Specific (indefinite)).

SUMMARY:Tanya Maria Golash-Boza: "Mass Deportation and the Neoliberal Cycle"
DESCRIPTION:The United States is deporting more people than ever before – nearly 400\,000 each year since 2006. Many deportees have close ties to the United States: in 2011\, 100\,000 deportees had U.S. citizen children. The vast majority of deportees are men of color. How do we explain this devastating policy shift? I argue that neoliberalism and\, by extension\, global capitalism\, make the mass deportation of men of color possible in the current context. Mass deportation is a U.S. policy response designed to relocate surplus labor to the periphery and to keep labor in the United States compliant. The U.S. public accepts this policy response because it targets men of color – people perceived to be expendable in the current economy. \nTanya Golash-Boza is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Merced. She is the author of three books: 1) Due Process Denied (2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; 2) Immigration Nation (2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that U.S. immigration policy has on human rights; and 3) Yo Soy Negro: Blackness in Peru (2011)\, the first book in English to address what it means to be black in Peru. She has also published many articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, human rights\, U.S. Latinos/as and Latin America\, in addition to essays and chapters in edited volumes and online venues. Her innovative scholarship was awarded the Distinguished Early Career Award from the Racial and Ethnic Minorities Studies Section of the American Sociological Association in 2010. \nEvent presented by the UCSC Sociology Colloquium Series and the Center for Labor Studies.

SUMMARY:David Myers: "A Hasidic Town in New York?  As American as Apple Pie?"
DESCRIPTION:David Myers is professor of Jewish history and chair of the UCLA History Department. He is currently at work with Nomi Stolzenberg (USC) on a book on the Satmar Hasidic community of Kiryas Joel\, New York. This project represents a significant departure from his work in the fields of German-Jewish intellectual history\, the history of Jewish historiography\, and the history of Zionism. In his current work\, he is combining historical\, ethnographic\, and legal approaches to examine the rise to prominence of a self-contained and legally recognized municipality in the State of New York that consists entirely of Hasidic Jews. His research shows that the creation of such a homogeneous shtetl has had few parallels in Jewish history\, though it is not nearly so unusual in American history\, which has an identifiable tradition of permitting strong forms of religious sub-communities to take root.\nReception to follow talk. \nThis event is presented by the Center for Jewish Studies with generous support from the David B. Gold Foundation.

SUMMARY:“Mendelsohn’s Incessant Visions” Screening and Q&A with Director Duki Dror
DESCRIPTION:Free and Open to the Public\nGeneral Admission Seating\, first come\, first served\nParking available in Performing Arts Lot ($4) \nSynopsis: This film is a cinematic mediation about the untold story of Erich Mendelsohn\,  whose life and career were as enigmatic and tragic as the path of the century. He drew sketches on tiny pieces of paper and sent them from the trenches to a young cellist\, who was waiting for him in Berlin.  She thought he was a genius and after WWI\, she helped him become the busiest architect in Germany.  When she planned to leave him for a communist poet\, he built a perfect house for her\, entirely planned by him from the lakeview living room\, to the silverware and her evening gowns.  When the Nazis came to power\, they abandoned the house and left Germany forever.  Erich and Louise Mendelsohn have wandered between continents\, between world wars\, between success and failure.  The buildings that Erich built around the world\, scattered as a trail of their journey\, have changed the history of architecture. \nAward-winning filmmaker and current Schusterman Visiting Artist\, Duki Dror (The Journey of Vaan Nguyen\, Raging Dove) has created a spectacular interpretation based on Erich and Louise’s relationship\, for one of the most captivating chapters in the development of modern art. \nWatch the Trailer \nPresented by The Arts Division and Film and Digital Media. Co-Sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies\, Arts Dean’s Arts Excellence Fund\, and Santa Cruz Jewish Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Claire Farago: "Seeing the Unmodern in the Modern: Leonardo and the Legibility of Religion"
DESCRIPTION:Written in an era before modern distinctions among art\, science\, and religion existed\, Leonardo da Vinci’s treatise on painting is regarded today as a canonical text in the history of western art for its scientific approach to problems of representation. New evidence suggests that prior to publication this text was appropriated in a Catholic Reformation effort designed to promote a legible style of painting suitable for sacred subjects. Today\, we do not usually think of it as ideologically freighted by the concerns of Christianity with the ontology of images. What does bringing together historical and contemporary theoretical approaches to questions of artifice–especially to the fantasy of a transparent\, indexical way of imitating nature that avoids artifice–offer contemporary visual studies? \nClaire Farago is Professor of Renaissance Art\, Theory\, and Criticism at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Her publications include Leonardo da Vinci’s Paragone: A Critical Interpretation (1992) and most recently\, Art Is Not What You Think It Is (2012)\, co-authored with Donald Preziosi\, as well as edited volumes and other collaborative projects including Reframing the Renaissance: Visual Culture in Europe and Latin America 1450 to 1650 (1995)\, Grasping the World: The Idea of the Museum (2004)\, Transforming Images: New Mexican Santos in-between Worlds (2006)\, and Re-Reading Leonardo: The Treatise on Painting across Europe 1550-1900 (2009). She has been a Distinguished Visiting Professor at UCLA\, the Wiley Visiting Professor of Renaissance Art at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill\, MacGeorge Fellow Visiting Professor at the University of Melbourne\, and the inaugural Fulbright-York Scholar at the University of York\, UK. Working with an international team of scholars\, currently she is preparing a modern critical edition of Leonardo da Vinci’s abridged Treatise on Painting first published in 1651. \nFor information or to accommodate a disability: History of Art and Visual Culture\, 459-4564\, havc@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Dante's Inferno directed by Sandow Birk
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public (English dialogue) \nMelding the seemingly disparate traditions of apocalyptic live-action graphic novel and charming Victorian-era toy theater\, Dante’s Inferno is a subversive\, darkly satirical update of the original 14th-century literary classic\, Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Retold with the use of intricately hand-drawn paper puppets and miniature sets\, and without the use of CGI effects\, this brilliant film takes viewers on a tour of Hell. \nSporting a hoodie and a hangover from the previous night’s debauchery\, Dante wakes to find he is lost — literally and metaphorically — in a strange part of town. He asks the first guy he sees for some help\, who turns out to be the ancient Roman poet Virgil\, author of the Aeneid. \nThe pair descends into the underworld\, where Virgil shows Dante the underbelly of the Inferno. Oddly enough\, it closely resembles the decayed landscape of modern urban life: used car lots\, strip malls\, airport security checks\, and the U.S. Capitol
