SUMMARY:Karl Marlantes: "What It Is Like To Go To War"
DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz Public Libraries presents an author visit and discussion with best selling author\, Karl Marlantes. \nAs a Marine lieutenant during the Vietnam War\, Karl Marlantes learned what every young officer learns – to fire a rifle\, to command a platoon\, to fight and to kill. Over the next four decades\, he spent his time reading\, thinking and writing a memoir that helped him come to terms with that experience. \nIn his book\, “What It Is Like to Go to War\,” Marlantes writes that while the Marine Corps trained him to kill\, “it didn’t teach me how to deal with killing.” \nIf the folks at the nonprofit organization Cal Humanities have their way\, people will be reading Marlantes’ book this fall. It’s the featured selection of California Reads: The War Comes Home\, a program offered by libraries throughout the state. Its goal: to bring people together to think and talk about what it is like to be a veteran. \nMarlantes’ book tour as part of California Reads includes multiple stops in Northern and Southern California\, at public libraries\, colleges and universities\, and veterans centers. \n  \nLocally\, Monterey County Free Libraries will sponsor a discussion with the author on Oct. 10 at 5:30 p.m. in CSU Monterey Bay’s library\, Room 1180. While the event is free\, attendees must purchase a parking permit from a machine on the lot or online. \nThe first 100 attendees will receive a free copy of the book.

SUMMARY:Lisa Lowe: "Colonial Difference and the Neoliberal Present"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture casts the history of liberal modernity as a complex\, braided project\, which includes at once the universal promises of rights\, emancipation\, wage labor and free trade\, as well as the global divisions and colonial asymmetries upon which those promises depend\, and according to which such liberties are reserved for some and denied to others. A history of the present\, which defamiliarizes given narratives of the present social formation\, may reveal the subsumption of colonial difference in the history of modern progress\, and query the assumptions regarding the continuity of the neoliberal present as either the apotheosis or betrayal of the liberal project. \nLisa Lowe is a scholar in the fields of comparative literature\, and the cultural politics of race\, colonialism\, and diaspora at Tufts University. Before joining Tufts\, she taught in the Literature Department at UC San Diego for over two decades. She is the recipient of awards and fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations\, the UC Humanities Research Institute\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, the School of Advanced Study-University of London\, and the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. Lowe is the author of Critical Terrains: French and British Orientalisms (Cornell UP)\, Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics (Duke UP)\, and coauthor of The Politics of Culture in the Shadow of Capital (Duke UP). Her most recent project\, The Intimacies of Four Continents\, a study of the global conditions for liberal economy\, knowledge\, culture\, and politics\, is forthcoming from Duke UP in 2015. Lowe received her Ph.D. in Literature from UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:"Lasting and Passing": The Poetics of Remainders with Margaret Ronda
DESCRIPTION:Poetry & Politics Presents: Margaret Ronda\, featuring Whitney DeVos and Keegan Cook Finberg \nThis talk offers an extended reading of the work of rural Midwestern modernist poet Lorine Niedecker\, whose poetry attends to various forms and speeds of what she calls “human material obsolescing.” The imaginative tarrying with these “outdated remains” (in Benjamin’s phrase) offers an example of a larger poetic archive that reflects on\, and reflects\, poetry’s diminishing cultural status in the twentieth century. The talk draws on Benjamin and Adorno’s theory of natural history (Naturgeschichte)\, which understands transience and susceptibility to ruin as the shared characteristic of “natural being” and “historical being.” Bringing a materialist philosophy of history to bear on this poetic archive throws into relief the ecological character of obsolescence itself\, illuminating a different version of ecologically-oriented literature than the American environmentalist tradition\, with its emphasis on wild nature\, has privileged. In turn\, this poetics of remainders—the material remnants of the production and commodification of nature\, now displaced\, unproductive\, and uncanny—renders visible the dispossessions and ecological violence on which capital accumulation depends. \nMargaret Ronda specializes in American poetry of the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries. Particular areas of interest include Marxist criticism\, aesthetic and genre theory\, ecological literary modes\, and avant-garde poetics. She is currently writing a book entitled Remainders: Poetry at Nature’s End\,  which examines how modern poetry serves as a distinctive site for charting uneven development and for archiving obsolescent forms of experience. Her first book of poetry\, Personification\, won the 2009 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize. \nWe invite you to join us at the Felix Kulpa Gallery in downtown Santa Cruz for a reading with Margaret Ronda and local poets and UCSC graduate students Keegan Cook Finberg and Whitney DeVos. The reading will begin at 6 p.m.\, with an opening reception at 5:30 p.m. \nMore information about these events and others can be found at www.ucscpoetrypolitics.com

SUMMARY:Jane Grimshaw: "The use of force in clausal complementation"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present Jane Grimshaw of Rutgers University speaking on\nThe use of force in clausal complementation. \nAbstract:\nThe SAY-schema verbs (Grimshaw in press) combine with a wide range of clauses in complex complementation structures\, including quoted and non-quoted clauses in post-verbal complement position\, and quoted and non-quoted clauses hosting parentheticals.\nSome SAY-schema verbs encode the Illocutionary Force of the speech acts that they report. Others do not. Some of the complementation structures themselves encode Force\, while others do not.\nThe patterns of verb-clause combination\, or “selection” effects\, result from the interplay between the Force encoded in the verb’s meaning and the Force of the clause. Variation among predicates is highly restricted\, and the evidence needed to learn which complements a verb combines with is accessible in simple discourses.\n  \n\n  \n2014 – 2015 Speakers \nFALL 2014\nOctober 17th\nJane Grimshaw\, Rutgers \nDecember 12th\nAdam Albright\, MIT \nWINTER 2015\nJanuary 16th\nClaire Halpert\, University of Minnesota \nJanuary 23rd\nValentine Hacquard\, Maryland \nFebruary 6th\nRachel Walker\, USC \nmid-March: date TBA\nLASC: Linguistics at Santa Cruz Conference \nSPRING 2015\nApril 10th\nDaniel Lassiter\, Stanford \nApril 17th\nKeith Johnson\, UC Berkeley \nMay 1st\nGrant Goodall\, UC San Diego \nMay/June: date TBA\nLURC: Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference

SUMMARY:1984 -- Beyond the Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago saw the culmination of increasing social conflict in Punjab\, a Sikh-majority state in India. In 1984\, the government of India launched a military operation on the Sikhs’ central religious site\, aimed at militants but also ensnaring innocent pilgrims. Later that year\, Sikh bodyguards assassinated India’s Prime Minister in retribution. This was followed by pogroms against Sikhs all over India\, and a decade of violence and repression in Punjab. The perpetrators of state violence have not been brought to justice\, and the events of 1984 and after continue to cast a shadow on the people of the region. Prof. Rahuldeep Singh Gill of California Lutheran University (CLU) will speak about this history\, and how to move forward positively\, but without forgetting the past\, especially in the context of the Sikh diaspora in the US. Prof. Gill is Director of the Center for Equality and Justice at CLU.\nThe talk will be followed by an interactive discussion\, moderated by Prof. Nirvikar Singh\, Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UCSC. Prof. Singh was visiting India in 1984 and experienced some of the events described above. All students\, faculty and community members are invited. Lunch will be provided\, and RSVPs are requested by October 15 at 1 pm. Please RSVP by email to Evin Guy\, Institute for Humanities Research\, ecguy@ucsc.edu. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCSC Sikh Student Association and the Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies. \n[rev_slider sikhbeyondtrauma]

SUMMARY:Rachel Deblinger: "Making Memories/Motifs: Holocaust Memory & the Unexpected Inspiration of Digital Humanities"
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Digital Humanities Research Cluster and the University Library for a series of interactive lectures focused on “Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage.” This inaugural speaker series will highlight digital projects from across the humanities and enable lively discussion about the role of the digital in preserving\, building\, and making accessible cultural materials from around the world. \nNo digital skills required.

SUMMARY:Annual Don Rothman Endowed Award in First-Year Writing
DESCRIPTION:Don Rothman began teaching undergraduate writing classes at UC Santa Cruz in 1973. \nAfter more than three decades of guiding teachers and teaching college students\, the senior lecturer emeritus in writing–and recipient of the 2002 Distinguished Teaching Award from the UCSC Center for Teaching Excellence–has established an endowment to honor exceptional freshman students and their writing teachers. \n“The ‘First Year Writing Award’ seeks to celebrate excellence in writing among first-year UCSC students\, and to give them the chance to honor instructors who contributed to their growth as writers\,” said Rothman. \n“It’s likely that UCSC would not be the institution that it is now if its founders hadn’t intuited the importance of identifying\, challenging\, and respecting our beginning students’ strengths as thinkers and writers.” \nThe first awards were presented at an October ceremony which honored seven students and their instructors. \nMolly Carpenter received the top prize and had nothing but praise for her teacher\, writing lecturer Jeff Arnett. \n“Although I’ve always loved to write\, I don’t think I knew how to truly write thoughtfully until I took Jeff’s class\,” said Carpenter. “Jeff consistently pushed me to be the very best writer I could be.” \n“I just want to express how lucky I am to attend a university that encourages original and creative thought through writing\, regardless of whether you’re an engineering or art major\,” she added. \nThe UCSC Writing Program serves approximately 3\,000 students each year\, taking into account core classes. More than 100 classes are offered annually. \nWriting Program chair James Wilson noted Rothman’s visionary impact over the years\, citing his deep commitment to the writing process\, and his ability to bring out the best in both teachers and students. \n“Through his years of serving as director of the Central California Writing Project\, Don has been a strong advocate for outreach in the wider community\, working in schools at all levels from K-12\, especially in Santa Cruz County\,” said Wilson. \nWilson added that Rothman has also been a “deliberate\, persistent\, and optimistic” spokesperson for the Writing Program across the campus\, speaking with faculty across the divisions about the importance of writing and emphasizing the value of undergraduate education–particularly at a research university. \n“Part of Don’s message is to remind the university that the effective teaching of writing to undergraduate students is essential to the mission of a research university\,” said Wilson.

SUMMARY:Azar Nafisi: "The Republic of Imagination"
DESCRIPTION:The bestselling author of Reading Lolita in Tehran will discuss and sign copies of her new book\, The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books—a hymn to the power of fiction to change lives. \nTen years ago\, Azar Nafisi electrified readers with her million-copy bestseller\, Reading Lolita in Tehran\, which told the story of how\, against the backdrop of morality squads and executions\, she taught The Great Gatsby and other classics to her eager students in Iran. In this exhilarating follow-up\, Nafisi has written the book her fans have been waiting for: an impassioned\, beguiling\, and utterly original tribute to the vital importance of fiction in a democratic society. \nTaking her cue from a challenge thrown to her in Seattle\, where a skeptical reader told her that Americans don’t care about books the way they did back in Iran\, she energetically responds to those who say fiction has nothing to teach us. Blending memoir and polemic with close readings of her favorite American novels—The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\, Babbitt\, and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter\, among others—she invites us to join her as citizens of her “Republic of Imagination\,” a country where the villains are conformity and orthodoxy and the only passport to entry is a free mind and a willingness to dream. \n“Nafisi makes a passionate argument for returning to key American novels in order to foster creativity and engagement.” —Kirkus Reviews \nThis offsite ticketed event will take place at Peace United Church. Purchase tickets below or in-person at Bookshop Santa Cruz. \n“We are all citizens of Azar Nafisi’s Republic of Imagination. Without imagination there are no dreams\, without dreams there is no art\, and without art there is nothing. Her words are essential.” —Marjane Satrapi \nTICKETS: $31.50\, includes two tickets to the event and one copy of The Republic of Imagination. This event will take place at Peace United Church. Open seating.\n  \nTickets & Information\n \n  \nEvent presented by Bookshop Santa Cruz\, in partnership with the Institute for Humanities Research.\n

SUMMARY:Bryan Donaldson: "Information structure and word order in medieval Occitan"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I draw on elements of discourse analysis and information structure–specifically topic-marking–to address a long-standing problem in the syntax of Old Occitan\, a medieval Romance language spoken in what is now the south of France. In Old Occitan\, the position of object and adverbial clitic (weak\, atonic) pronouns remains incompletely understood (Wanner 2010). I analyze clitic position specifically in affirmative main declarative sentences that contain overt preverbal subjects. In this context\, clitics are either preverbal\, as in (1)\, or post verbal\, as in (2)\, with no apparent semantic distinction.\n  \n(1) E.N Constantis s’en anet.\nand.Sir Constantine himself.from-there went\n‘And Sir Constantine left.’ (Razo of 80\,20 & 80\,32 §8; Boutière 1964: 92) \n(2) E.N Guilhem anet. s’en.\nand.Sir Guillaume went himself.from-there\n‘And Sir Guillaume left.’ (Razo of 208\,1\, §34; Boutière 1964: 325)\n  \nPrevious analyses have concluded that this variation is random (Mériz 1978) or du to regional or dialectal variation (Hinzelin 2007). Neither approach satisfactorily addresses the underlying grammar or the principles underlying the distribution of the variants appears. The present analysis draws on the discourse-functional notion of topic (e.g.\, Reinhart 1981) as well as theoretical claims about the clausal left periphery in medieval Romance (Benincà 2006). I report empirical data from the complete troubadour biographies (vidas and razos; 13th-14th centuries) and the vida of Saint Douceline (early 14th century). Results from 470 subject-verb declaratives establish that the subject in (2) is left-dislocated\, albeit covertly so. I argue that (2) is one of several instantiations of subject left-dislocation in Old Occitan and that it is both functionally and formally distinct from (1). More precisely\, (1) signals topic continuity\, whereas (2) is a shifting topic.\n  \nBryan Donaldson is Assistant Professor of Languages and French Applied Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz.
