SUMMARY:Contemporary Capitalism and Marxist Critique
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nTo inaugurate a year of events\, the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism research cluster is holding a panel which follows two interrelated threads. The first is the analysis of capitalism as a system\, from its origins to its contemporary transformations. This analysis extends across disciplines and theoretical orientations\, and one goal of this interdisciplinary panel is to represent the wide range of approaches that UCSC faculty are taking in their research into capitalism. The second thread is the reexamination of Marxist theory. Throughout its history Marxism has extended into a range of fields\, from sociology to literary criticism\, and has remained a crucial reference point for theory which seeks to understand social life historically. This panel will extend the historical analysis to Marxism itself\, critically reexamining its evolution and its engagement with its changing social and political context. \nPanelists include: \n\nMiriam Greenberg\, Associate Professor of Sociology: “Crisis-Driven Urbanization and Contemporary Capitalism”\nJonathan Beecher\, Professor Emeritus of History: “David Riazanov and the Marx-Engels Institute”\nTyrus Miller\, Professor of Literature\, Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies: “Theaters of History: Drama\, Action\, and Historical Agency in the Work of György Lukács\nNeda Atanasoski\, Associate Professor of Feminist Studies: “Revolutions and Networks: Technology and the Social Body after Socialism”\nModerated by Gopal Balakrishnan\, Associate Professor of History of Consciousness\n\n  \nUpcoming event series: “The Origins of Civil Society” \nThe development of the discipline of political economy\, including its dialogue with modern political philosophy\, is closely intertwined with the rise and expansion of capitalist society. As we turn our attention today to capitalism’s crisis tendencies and the future of market society\, a critical examination of this foundational history becomes the starting point of the analysis of the present. This lecture series addresses the origins of civil society from several vantage points: the legal and political forms that underlie market relations; the transformation of the labor process; the role of gender and reproductive labor; and the history of separation from the means of subsistence. \nJan 16\, 2014 – Warren Montag: “The Revocation of the Right to Subsistence: On the Legal and Political Origins of the Market” \nFeb 6\, 2014 – Kathi Weeks: “The Problem with Work: Feminism\, Marxism\, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries” \nMar 6\, 2014 – Michael Perelman: “Primitive Accumulation: From Adam Smith to Angela Merkel” \nPresented by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster.

SUMMARY:Chair Lisbeth Haas - Saints & Citizens: Book Reading & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Saints and Citizens is a bold new excavation of the history of Indigenous people in California in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries\, showing how the missions became sites of their authority\, memory\, and identity. Shining a forensic eye on colonial encounters in Chumash\, Luiseño\, and Yokuts territories\, Lisbeth Haas depicts how native painters incorporated their cultural iconography in mission painting and how leaders harnessed new knowledge for control in other ways. Through her portrayal of highly varied societies\, she explores the politics of Indigenous citizenship in the independent Mexican nation through events such as the Chumash War of 1824\, native emancipation after 1826\, and the political pursuit of Indigenous rights and land through 1848. \nLisbeth Haas is Professor of History and Chair of Feminist Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, and author of Pablo Tac\, Indigenous Scholar: Writing on Luiseño Language and Colonial History\, c. 1840 (UC Press\, 2011) and Conquests and Historical Identities in California\, 1769–1936 (UC Press\, 1995). Professor Haas’s research interests include local histories of globalization\, indigenous histories of California\, subaltern scholars and their writing and painting\, Spanish colonial and Mexican California\, the Borderlands – especially the U.S. and Mexico\, the Colonial Americas\, California Studies\, Global Histories of Race\, Ethnicity\, and Diaspora\, Gendered Stories. \nThere will be a small reception following the reading.

SUMMARY:Julia Phillips Cohen: "Becoming Ottomans: Sephardi Jews and Imperial Citizenship in the Modern Era"
DESCRIPTION:The Ottoman-Jewish story has long been told as a romance between Jews and the empire. The prevailing view is that Ottoman Jews were protected and privileged by imperial policies and in return offered their unflagging devotion to the imperial government over many centuries. In this talk\, Julia Phillips Cohen offers a corrective\, arguing that Jewish leaders who promoted this vision did so in response to a series of reforms enacted by the nineteenth-century Ottoman state: the new equality they gained came with a new set of expectations. Ottoman subjects were suddenly to become imperial citizens\, to consider their neighbors as brothers and their empire as a homeland. Yet the process was not seamless: as they sought to teach each other how to become modern citizens of their state\, Ottoman Jews soon learned that their patriotic project could entail uncomfortable choices and disturbing consequences. \nCharting Ottoman Jews’ responses to these developments\, this talk provides new perspectives for understanding Jewish encounters with modernity and citizenship in a centralizing\, modernizing Islamic state and an imperial\, multi-faith landscape. \nJulia Phillips Cohen is Assistant Professor in the Program in Jewish Studies and the Department of History at Vanderbilt University. She is the author of Becoming Ottomans: Sephardi Jews and Imperial Citizenship in the Modern Era (New York: Oxford University Press\, 2014)\, and\, together with Sarah Abrevaya Stein\, editor of Sephardi Lives: A Documentary History\, 1700-1950 (Stanford: Stanford University Press\, 2014). \nPresented by the Center for Jewish Studies.
