SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: One Missed Call
DESCRIPTION:Helmed by the wildly prolific Takashi Miike\, whose other notable horror credits include Audition (1999)\, Visitor Q (2001)\, Gozu (2003)\, and Imprint (2006)\, One Missed Call takes the anxieties surrounding the obsolescence of video tape technology that were so gloomily evoked in Ringu (1998) and shifts them onto the rise of cellular phone communication and the exploitative potentials of reality television. Yumi Nakamura (Kô Shibasaki) tries to find out who or what is behind the death of her friend\, Yoko (Anna Nagata). Two days before her death\, Yoko receives a voice message from herself dated two days in the future\, and in this message Yoko and Yumi can hear Yoko screaming. Yumi’s search for answers becomes increasingly urgent as she too receives a voice message from herself with the date of her future death. Followed by two sequels\, a short-lived Japanese TV series\, and an American remake\, One Missed Call is not to be missed!  \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly.

SUMMARY:Queen for a Day: Transformistas\, Beauty Queens\, and the Performance of Femininity in Venezuela
DESCRIPTION:The Feminist Studies Department is proud to announce… \nQueen for a Day\nTransformistas\, Beauty Queens\, and the Performance of Femininity in Venezuela\nA Conversation & Book Party\n for Marcia Ochoa\n with Lourdes Martínez-Echazábal & B. Ruby Rich \nTuesday\, June 3 \nAbout the Book\nQueen for a Day is a queer diasporic ethnography of beauty and femininity that connects the logic of Venezuelan modernity with the production of a national femininity. is ethnography examines how femininities are produced\, performed\, and consumed in the mass-media spectacles of international beauty pageants\, on the runways of the Miss Venezuela contest\, on the well-traveled Caracas avenue where transgender women (transformistas) project themselves into the urban imaginary\, and on the bodies of both\ntransformistas and beauty pageant contestants (misses). Placing transformistas and misses in the same analytic frame enables Ochoa to delve deeply into complex questions of media and spectacle\, gender and sexuality\, race and class\, and self-fashioning and identity. \nVenezuela has won more international beauty contests than any other. e femininity performed by Venezuelan women in high-profile\, widely viewed pageants defines a kind of national femininity. Ochoa argues that as transformistas and misses work to achieve the bodies\, clothing and makeup styles\, and postures and gestures of this national femininity\, they come to embody Venezuelan modernity. \nAbout the Author\nMarcia Ochoa is an Associate Professor of Feminist Studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz. An ethnographer of media\, Ochoa’s work focuses on the role of the imaginary in the survival of queer and transgender people in Latin America\, and the place of these subjects in the nation. She is a founder and advisor to El/La Para TransLatinas\, a social justice project for transgender Latina immigrants in the Mission District of San Francisco\, CA. Ochoa is incoming co-editor of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies. \nA chapter from the book will be available to read prior to the talk at:\nChapter 5: Sacar el Cuerpo \nPlease join us for a small reception in the Feminist Studies library following the reading.

SUMMARY:"Doing Critical Race and Ethnic Studies in a Neoliberal Age" Symposium
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n \nThis spring bears the fruit of many years of student activism at UC Santa Cruz\, namely\, the inauguration of a Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) program dedicated to studying the ideological formations and institutional productions of race and ethnicity. Recognizing that the institutionalization of CRES is both an exciting moment and a reminder of the work we must keep showing up for\, we ask: \n• How can we foster creative ways to keep activist and academic knowledges in conversation?\n• How can scholarly activity be held accountable to social justice struggles?\n• How can we build and strengthen ties across institutional and organizational walls? \nThe context of this moment of institutionalization is the neoliberal erosion of public education and the casualization of all forms of academic labor that have transformed education into a privileged commodity available only to a few and rendered education a site of labor precariousness. At UC Santa Cruz\, recent student experiences with the literal “campus to jail busline” attest to these neoliberal processes. Aimed at fostering critical dialogue about doing critical race work in this historical moment\, this symposium brings together community organizers and social justice activists with campus organizers\, students\, staff\, and faculty from regional community colleges\, state colleges\, and universities to examine militarization\, post-9/11 terror-baiting\, and the criminalization of racialized bodies as the effects of neoliberal policies that cut across campus and community boundaries. \nPlease join us June 6-7 at UC Santa Cruz to strengthen the bonds of solidarity\, combine our knowledges\, and build coalitions around interconnected struggles. \nFree and open to the public. \nNote\, event has been moved to the Humanities Lecture Hall.\n[/vc_column_text] [rb_blank_divider width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [rb_section_title title=”Schedule” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”0″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nFriday\, June 6\n4:00 PM: Welcome and Coffee Sandra Harvey (CRES Student Working Group) \n4:05 PM: Blessing by Corrina Gould (Indian People Organizing for Change) \n4:20 PM: State of CRES and Reportback on Critical Ethnic Studies Conference by Jasmine Syedullah (CRES Student Working Group) \n4:30-6:30 PM: Discussion I: The Prison Industrial Complex & the Public University \nFacilitator: Gina Dent (Feminist Studies) \nParticipants: Sadie Reynolds (Sociology\, Cabrillo College)\, OT Quintero (Barrios Unidos)\, Misty Rojo (Justice Now)\, Tash Nguyen* (Sin Barras)\, Ivan Medina (IGNITE) \n  \nSaturday\, June 7\n9:30 AM: Welcome and Coffee William Ladusaw (Dean of Humanities) \n10:00-12:00 PM: Discussion II: Militarization\, Criminalization\, and Racial and Gender Violence \nFacilitator: Christine Hong (Literature) \nParticipants: Lara Kiswani (Arab Resource & Organizing Center)\, Sami Abed (Resource Center for Non-Violence)\, Boian-Christoph Boianov (Committee for Justice in Palestine)\, Tierney Yates (Black Unity Group\, San Jose State)\, Isa Noyola and Marcia Ochoa (El/La Para Translatinas)\, Monica Jones (Sex Worker Outreach Program Phoenix) \n12:00-1:30 PM: Lunch \n1:30-3:30 PM: Discussion III: Political Education and Activist Knowledges \nFacilitator: Cindy Cruz (Education) \nParticipants: Nancy Kim (Asian American & Pacific Islander Resource Center and Ethnic Resource Centers)\, Carolyn Dunn (American Indian Resource Center)\, Corrina Gould (Indian People Organizing for Change)\, Xamuel Banales (Ethnic Studies\, Northern Arizona University)\, Shaila Ramos\, David Padilla\, Mayra Chavez\, Marjory Ruiz (Students Informing Now)\, Michael James (Popular Education 2.0) \n3:30 PM: Coffee Break \n4:00-5:30 PM: Closing Discussion: Envisioning CRES on Campus and Beyond \nFacilitators: Marcia Ochoa (Feminist Studies) and Jessica Whatcott (CRES Student Working Group) \n6:00-7:00 PM: Closing reception with light food and refreshments \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column] [rb_blank_divider width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [rb_section_title title=”Sponsors & Acknowledgements” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”0″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n[vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]\nPresented by the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Research Cluster\, with generous support from the Division of Humanities; Graduate Student Association; UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies; UC Center for New Racial Studies; Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion; Stevenson College; and the Departments of American Studies\, History\, Literature\, and Politics. \nPoster Art: LA PROMESA DE LOMA PRIETA: QUE NO SE REPITA LA HISTORIA (THE PROMISE OF LOMA PRIETA: THAT HISTORY NOT REPEAT ITSELF)\, the University of California at Santa Cruz\, Oakes College Mural\, by Juana Alicia ©1992.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: À l ́interieur
DESCRIPTION:A French body horror film that takes home invasion movies to their ne plus ultra\, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s À l’intérieur depicts the attempts of Sarah (Alysson Paradis)\, very pregnant and very alone in her house on Christmas Eve\, to ward off the efforts of “La Femme” (Beátrice Dalle) to break into Sarah’s home and (if she can) Sarah’s womb to take the baby for herself. Mixing together this gruesome premise with yuletide ennui and the aftereffects of the banlieue riots of 2005\, the film is a moody and unsettlingly downbeat Christmas tale. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados.

SUMMARY:Mortality: Facing Death in Ancient Greece
DESCRIPTION:Mortality: Facing Death in Ancient Greece is a four-week Summer Institute funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Beginning from the premise that mortality is the condition that gives life its singular human quality\, the goal of the Institute is to develop a multi-disciplinary approach to mortality in ancient Greece as the basis for rigorous and innovative teaching and scholarship in the Humanities. Under the guidance of experts\, the Institute will bring together twenty-five college and university teachers and three graduate students to examine relevant material from a broad range of ancient Greek literary sources\, visual and archaeological remains\, and historical periods\, ranging from the 8th to the 3rd centuries BCE. The Institute encourages the study of mortality in ancient Greece as the basis for comparative study across cultures\, disciplines\, and historical periods. \nInstitute Faculty:\nKaren Bassi\, Institute Director\nBrooke Holmes\, Visiting Scholar\nSarah Iles Johnston\, Visiting Scholar\nSheila Murnaghan\, Visiting Scholar\nYiannis Petropoulos\, Visiting Scholar\nKirk Sanders\, Visiting Scholar\nYannis Tzifopoulos\, Visiting Scholar\nMichael Wedde\, Local Guest Scholar \nVisit the Institute website for more information: mortality.ihr.ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Modern Jewish Spaces From the Venice Ghetto to Contemporary Classifications: Summer Workshop for Young Researchers in Jewish Culture and Identity
DESCRIPTION:Modern Jewish Spaces From the Venice Ghetto to Contemporary Classifications \nSummer Workshop for Young Researchers in Jewish Culture and Identity \nIn conjunction with the University of California\, Santa Cruz \nJune 30 – July 2\, 2014 at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute \nAttending the workshop is by invitation only \nSummer Workshop Program \nContemporary globalization brings to the forefront the relation between identity and spatial location; it highlights new and multiple cross-cutting transnational allegiances that bear on central aspects of Jewish identity\, which some contemporary writers and researchers have begun to explore and elaborate. The Venice Ghetto raises a range of questions about Modern Jewish Spaces that have played central roles in Jewish and European culture since the Jews were sequestered in the Ghetto at its founding in 1516. The history of the Ghetto\, its image and its symbolic resonances have generated different models that have become subtexts of several Modern Jewish Spaces\, often implicitly reverted to in desperate Jewish historical moments. A broad range of questions arise from the study of Modern Jewish Spaces\, such as the following: \n• Are there sets of necessary and sufficient conditions that constitute different paradigmatic Modern Jewish Spaces?\n• What do Modern Jewish Spaces mean for those who live in them\, or for those outside?\n• What roles do political\, social and cultural power play in and for these Modern Jewish Spaces?\n• What was/is the influence of the State of Israel on contemporary definitions of Jewish people?\n• What roles do minority cultures in Modern Jewish Spaces assume and fulfill? \nThe summer workshop will provide an opportunity to investigate these and other related questions. \nAcademic committee:\nProf. Shaul Bassi\, Prof. Elisheva Baumgarten\,\nProf. Murray Baumgarten\, Dr. Yotam Benziman\,\nDr. Manuela Consonni\, Prof. Shmuel Feiner\,\nProf. Aviad Hacohen\, Prof. Debra Kaplan\,\nProf. Haviva Pedaya\, Prof. Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin\,\nProf. Uzi Rebhun\, Dr. Avinoam Rosenak\,\nRabbi Naftali Rothenberg\, Dafna Schreiber \nThe Van Leer Jerusalem Institute\n43 Jabotinsky St.\, Jerusalem\nwww.vanleer.org.il\nPhotographs taken at the event will be posted on the Institute’s website and on social networks.
