SUMMARY:Joanne Barker: "In Debt: A Reconsideration of 'Race\, Empire\, and the Crisis of the Subprime' from Manna-Hata"
DESCRIPTION:Intervening in populist\, Occupy Wall Street discourses about the subprime crisis and its remedies\, this talk critically uncovers Manna Hata from Manhattan. Offering a long genealogical view of the militarized dispossession\, genocide\, and enslavement of Native peoples in order to problematize the subprime crisis as a signifier of racism\, this talk focuses on territorial expansion\, resource destruction and extraction\, labor exploitation\, and debt as past and present depredations upon Native nations and their citizens within the United States. In so doing\, this talk addresses Native debt in ways left unaccounted for in a proliferation of recent scholarship on debt\, including the special issue of American Quarterly\, “Race\, Empire\, and the Crisis of the Subprime.” By tracing current U.S. and global economic formations and their crises to inaugural violence upon Native nations and their citizens\, this talk examines the foundational nature of the U.S. military foreclosure of Native lands as part of its territorial homeland and its appropriation of Native bodies into its system of indentured labor relative to the crisis of home mortgages and their speculative securities. \nJoanne Barker (Lenape [Delaware Tribe of Indians]) is associate professor of American Indian Studies at San Francisco State University. She received her Ph.D. in the History of Consciousness Department from the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, in 2000 on the work of identity and identification in indigenous struggles for sovereignty and self-determination. She is author of Native Acts: Law Recognition\, and Cultural Authenticity (Duke University Press\, 2011) and editor of Sovereignty Matters: Locations of Contestation and Possibility in Indigenous Struggles for Self-Determination (Nebraska\, 2005). She is involved in cultural repatriation rights\, environmental issues\, human rights\, and anti-war politics. She has been the recipient of fellowships from the University of California\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, and the Ford Foundation.

SUMMARY:Jim McCloskey: "Preverbs\, Phases\, and Objecthood: An Irish Perspective on Some Old Problems"
DESCRIPTION:The direct object relation is a relation of central importance in syntactic theory and so it was an important moment when the nature of that relation was re-thought in a fundamental way in work of the 1990’s. This paper examines some of the issues raised in that re-thinking\, by looking closely at the expression of the direct object relation in Irish (infinitival) clauses. It focuses in particular on what is to be learned from an intricate pattern of dialectal\, idiolectal\, and generational variation which\, it is claimed\, sheds light on how we should understand `Burzio’s Generalization’\, which is\nitself a central aspect of theories of objecthood which derive from Government Binding Theory. \nJim McCloskey is Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:"The Motherhood Archives" film screening and discussion
DESCRIPTION:Archival montage\, science fiction\, and an homage to 70s feminist filmmaking are woven together to form this haunting and lyrical essay film excavating hidden histories of childbirth in the twentieth century. Assembling an extraordinary archive of over 100 educational\, industrial\, and medical training films (including newly rediscovered Soviet and French childbirth films)\, The Motherhood Archives inventively untangles the complex\, sometimes surprising genealogies of maternal education. Revealing a world of intensive training\, rehearsal\, and performative preparation for the unknown that is ultimately incommensurate with experience\, The Motherhood Archives is a meditation on the maternal body as a site of institutional control\, ideological surveillance\, medical knowledge\, and nationalist state intervention.\n  \nIntroduction by Neda Atanasoski (Feminist Studies) \nPost-screening discussion with the filmmaker\, Irene Lusztig\, and:\nNancy Chen (Anthropology)\nJenny Horne (Film & Digital Media)\nFelicity Schaeffer (Feminist Studies) \nReception to follow in Communications 139\n  \nPresented by the Center for Documentary Arts and Research and the Departments of Anthropology\, Feminist Studies\, and Film & Digital Media.

SUMMARY:Film Screening of "Maestra" with Filmmaker Catherine Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Cuba\, 1961: 250\,000 volunteers taught 700\,000 people to read and write in one year. 100\,000 of the teachers were under 18 years old. Over half were women. Maestra explores this story through the personal testimonies of the young women who went out to teach literacy in rural communities across the island – and found themselves deeply transformed in the process. \nThere will be a Q & A with the filmmaker after the screening. \nCo-sponsored by The Chicano/Latino Research Center\, The Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, and the Social Documentation Program. \nFor more information contact the Latin American and Latino Studies Department\, or Professor Lourdes Martínez-Echazábal at: lourdes@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Undisciplining Feminism: Formations in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together a core group of UC and Cal State faculty working at the intersections of feminist studies and ethnic studies\, we will generate a curricular vision that\, rather than being negatively constructed as a critique (of patriarchy\, mainstream feminism\, “wave”-based periodizations\, etc.) begins with concepts like race\, empire\, and settler colonialism. Conversely\, we imagine ethnic studies as foundationally organized around gender and sexuality\, centered on concepts such as reproduction and sexual violence. While critiques of Women and Gender Studies and Ethnic Studies as disciplinary formations have long existed\, we hope that by generating shared curricular materials\, we can further engage the intellectual repercussions of (inter)disciplinarity and strategize ways to make institutional interventions. We aim to collectively generate the kind of work called for by such critiques\, and to share strategies for the careful institutionalization of such work. \nThis event is intended to support current efforts to establish a Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) program at UC Santa Cruz\, in addition to enabling a conversation amongst group participants. While student efforts at establishing ethnic studies as a major have a long history at UCSC\, it was not until the disestablishment of American Studies\, which led to massive student protests against the lack of institutional support for the study of race and ethnicity in 2011-12\, that these efforts received administrative attention. In 2012-13\, a working group consisting of faculty\, undergraduates\, and graduate students has met regularly around a series of talks and workshops aimed at developing a CRES major. The major was approved in Spring 2012\, with courses scheduled to begin 2012-13. The public portion of our event\, sponsored by Bettina Aptheker and Karen Tei Yamashita’s Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, is intended to be in conversation with and to raise the profile of CRES\, as well as the launch of the Feminist Studies graduate program. \nSome questions that we hope to address through this event: \nWhere\, why and to what effect does the complicity of feminisms with the security state\, the carceral turn\, settler colonial states\, and so forth take place?\nWhat are some alternative genealogies of feminism (perhaps not recognizable or identified as such) that we might consider as generative for thinking about difference? Why might they not be as legible as points of departure for feminism? What are the political possibilities and perils of visibility and legibility?\nHow might existing scholarship already be producing alternative genealogies for a practice and politics of feminism?\nTo learn more about the conference\, and to access the agenda and abstracts\, please visit: http://ihr.ucsc.edu/undisciplining-feminism/. \nThis event is free and open to the public.\n \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Albert Camus\, 1913-2013
DESCRIPTION:Beginning on October 15\, UC Santa Cruz will be one of 500 venues worldwide to host an exhibit commemorating the 100th birthday of the French Nobel Prize winning author and philosopher Albert Camus. \nThe new digital/paper exhibit combines print editorial with QR code technology. \nThe exhibit was conceived and produced by the Institut Francais\, an arm of the French State Department in partnership with Camus’ publisher\, Gallimard and Ecole Normale Superieure. \n“There are over 100 images\, and more than 15 minutes of audio and video recordings linked to the various QR codes\,” noted Douglas Hull\, a board member of the Silicon Valley branch of the Alliance Francaise. \n“The exhibit works chronologically\, and is divided into five major periods of his life. Some of the images were never published before\, particularly from his life in Algeria\,” Hull added. \nCoded QR codes allow the viewer to select the nature of the information experienced (magenta equals context/background; codes with a symbolic eye equal zoom in; with a quotation mark equal citations; and with an arrow in a white circle equal audio or video). \nRecordings include Camus’s Nobel acceptance speech in Stockholm\, and zooms include articles he wrote anonymously during WWII for an underground paper and copies of manuscript pages. \nHull added that viewers will also have the chance to upload their own picture with a time and location stamp onto a  global mosaic which will be scrollable and accessible to anyone who has downloaded the exhibit’s app. \nThis exhibit is free and open to the public. It runs through November 14. Open hours are 9 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Rocio Rosales: "Stagnant Immigrant Social Networks and Cycles of Exploitation"
DESCRIPTION:Based on over four years of ethnographic research among street vendors in Los Angeles and on interviews with family members of vendors and former vendors living in Mexico\, Rocio Rosales examines the influence of a sending community and its social networks on migrant outcomes in the US. These social networks affect migration patterns\, ease entry into the fruit vending business but also facilitate exploitation. Furthermore\, these social networks do not always function as effective conduits of information because its members\, due to feelings of shame or embarrassment\, often fail to add to the existing body of knowledge. As a result\, international migration patterns\, job placement\, and exploitative practices do not change or improve for subsequent migrants. This creates a cycle in which social networks become stagnant and successively fail to function as effective conduits of information and resources in ways that might help network members equally and in the aggregate. \nRocio Rosales is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California\, San Diego. She completed her Ph.D. in Sociology at UCLA in 2012 and received her A.B. in Sociology (cum laude) with a certificate in Latin American Studies from Princeton University. Her dissertation\, “Hidden Economies in Public Spaces: The Fruit Vendors of Los Angeles\,” examines the social and economic lives of a group of undocumented Latino street vendors. Her research interests include international migration\, informal work\, immigrant and ethnic economies\, Latinos/as in the US\, qualitative methods and urban ethnography. Her work has been funded by the American Philosophical Society (2011)\, John Randolph and Dora Haynes Foundation (2010)\, Ford Foundation (2005-2008)\, and the SSRC Mellon Mays Foundation (2003-2012). Her research appears in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies and in Ethnic and Racial Studies (forthcoming). \nLecture presented by the UCSC Sociology Colloquium Series and the UCSC Center for Labor Studies. \nFor more info\, go to: http://socyeventsucsc.wordpress.com/.\nFor info about access to College 8\, contact: Barbara Laurence\, balauren@ucsc.edu.\n

Smihi will also be a participant at the symposium. http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/filmseries/smihi \nThe Unfixed Itineraries symposium will encourage innovative perspectives on Arab film and visual culture\, emphasizing their multifaceted and plural nature. Rather than homogenize “the Arab world\,” for example\, we stress the multiple worlds that have been made by diverse histories. Instead of taking for granted the meaning of the word “Arab\,” our event continually questions fixed narratives that produce rigid identities. And by refusing the common tendency to reduce Arab art to the realm of the political or the religious\, we also affirm the inspiring\, arresting pleasures of the aesthetic\, the sensory\, the intellectual\, and the social aspects of film and media from the region. \nParticipants will focus on the production and circulation of Arab visual cultures across multiple temporal and spatial boundaries: from the historical to the recent\, at “home” and in diaspora. The symposium includes opportunities for seeing film and media and for engaging in scholarly\, critical debates with cultural producers (rather than just “about” them). \nArtists and scholars will visit from Lebanon\, Morocco\, Egypt\, Syria\, Canada\, Europe\, and the US and the work presented will cover a wide area of forms\, styles\, and thematic concerns. \nSymposium screenings\, panels\, and presentations will address topics such as: Movement and Extra-territoriality; Itineraries of Intertextuality; Past\, Present\, and Future Itineraries; Narrative and non-Narrative Itineraries; Archives\, Images\, Memory. \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column]

SUMMARY:Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Free Angela! is a brilliant documentary that captures the sensational murder and kidnapping trial of Black Communist and UCLA Professor Angela Davis in the early 1970s. It provides extraordinary archival footage\, interviews with Davis\, all four of her trial lawyers and the activists who co-led a massive international movement for her freedom. Davis was deeply involved in a movement to help save the lives of three Black prisoners known as the Soledad Brothers\, and was also active in the Black Panther Party and the anti- Vietnam war movement. Davis was indicted as a co-conspirator by a Marin County Grand Jury and when “unavailable” was placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.This was the result of an attempt by prisoners from San Quentin to escape during a court case in Marin County on August 7th\, 1970. The judge\, two of the prisoners\, and their young would-be liberator were killed by San Quentin prison guards; the prosecuting attorney and the other escaping prisoner were critically wounded. Condemned in sensational media coverage\, then President Richard Nixon and then California Governor Ronald Reagan denounced Davis as a “dangerous terrorist.” Davis was in fact the target of government revenge as a symbol of the radical fervor of those times. The film tells a complicated story in a comprehensible\, powerful way that continues to reverberate in our own time. \nQ & A following the film with Howard Moore\, lead counsel for Angela Davis\, and Bettina Aptheker\, Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nShowing sponsored by the UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race & Ethnic Studies and by the Feminist Studies Department at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Saru Jayaraman: "Behind the Kitchen Door in Santa Cruz and Across America"
DESCRIPTION:More Americans are choosing to dine healthy and ethically at restaurants offering organic and fair-trade ingredients. Yet few diners are aware of the working conditions at the restaurants themselves. How do restaurant workers live on some of the lowest wages in America? And how do poor working conditions—discriminatory labor practices\, exploitation\, and unsanitary kitchens—affect the meals that arrive at our restaurant tables? In her book\, Behind the Kitchen Door\, Saru Jayaraman tries to answer these questions by following a group of restaurant workers\, among the 10 million – many of whom are immigrants and people of color – who make up the nation’s second-largest private sector workforce. Whether you eat haute cuisine or fast food\, the well-being of restaurant workers is a pressing concern\, affecting our health and safety\, as well as our local economies. \nMs. Jayaraman’s talk will be followed with a Q&A session with the author along with Gretchen Regenhardt\, attorney and representative of the Watsonville-based group\, California Rural Legal Assistance\, which is launching a survey and research project on low-wage restaurant workers in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. \nSaru Jayaraman is a graduate of Yale Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and director of the Food Labor Research Center at UC Berkeley.  She is also co-Founder of the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROC United)\, a national organization with 10\,000 members across 26 cities\, which organizes restaurant workers to win workplace justice\, conducts research\, partners with responsible employers\, and launched cooperatively-owned restaurants. She has appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher\, MSNBC\, NBC Nightly News\, and PBS\, among others. \nCalifornia Rural Legal Assistance\, founded in 1966 as a nonprofit legal services program\, now has 21 offices\, providing more than 40\,000 low-income rural Californians with free legal assistance and a variety of community education and outreach programs. \nCo-Sponsored by the UCSC Center for Labor Studies\, the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems\, the Sociology Department\, the Chicano Latino Resource Center\,  Oakes College\, and the Institute for Humanities Research. \nFor more information\, please contact smckay@ucsc.edu

DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz Emeriti group presents an Emeriti Faculty Lecture cosponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies and the Department of Literature \nAre accounts of our love affairs with our machines stories of imprisonment or empowerment?

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Gold (1934)
DESCRIPTION:The Golden Plague Forging Its Path of Annihilation! \nOne of the few expressly science fiction films produced under German National Socialism\, Gold makes a spectacle of British-German relations in the early years of the Third Reich. An “evil” British alchemist sabotages a “good” German chemist’s experimental attempt to obtain gold from base metals with the help of an atomic reactor\, and the chemist dies in the ensuing explosion. The deceased chemist’s “good” engineer assistant\, Werner Holk (Hans Alber)\, survives the disaster and starts to look for the parties responsible for the death of his mentor. Effectively kidnapped by the Brits during his search and coerced into aiding them\, Holk finds himself in a vast underwater facility where the atomic reactor designed by his dead friend is being reconstructed on a grand scale. While attempting to sabotage this new alchemical project before it destroys the world economy with mass-produced artificial gold\, Holk also has to figure out what to do about his feelings for the daughter of the British alchemist\, Florence (Brigitte Helm). Playing on many of the anxieties and fears connected with Germany’s experiences with hyperinflation in the 1920s\, Hartl’s film is a unique peek into Nazi cinema of the 1930s. Wittily “sampled” in Curt Siodmak’s American sci-fi classic\, The Magnetic Monster (1953)\, excerpts from which will be shown as well\, Gold is not to be missed! \n  \nPresented by It Came from the Thirties! For the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing 1930s films from different countries each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends.

SUMMARY:Clare Monagle: "Neo-medievalism and the Postcolonial: International Relations Theory and Temporality"
DESCRIPTION:Though an historian of medieval thought\, Clare Monagle’s most recent work turns to the twentieth-century and the deployment of the Middle Ages in International Relations Theory. Monagle argues that charting the medieval in this frame enables a new insight into the understanding of historical time that informs the discipline of international relations. \nClare Monagle is a graduate of Monash and the Johns Hopkins Universities. She received her PhD in 2007. She is broadly interested in history of intellectuals in the Middle Ages\, as well as the histories of the institutions that housed them. Her work is also concerned with the “medievalism” of twentieth and twenty-first century thought\, that is\, the uses to which the concept of the medieval is put within definitions of modernity and progress.
