While championing new understandings of class composition that challenged the traditional leninist separation of economic and political struggles\, the workerists of the 1960s and 1970s nonetheless struggled to formulate an agreed approach to theorising and practicing ‘the political’. The talk will seek to explore the ways in which this tension played itself out\, from early debates concerning the traditional institutions of the workers movement\, to efforts to develop organizational projects outside the existing parties and unions. Along the way\, attention will also be paid to the contributions of those (such as the editors of Collegamenti and Le operaie della casa) who\, despite the incisiveness of many of their contributions\, found themselves situated largely on the margins of the workerists’ debates as these unfolded at the time. \nSteve Wright teaches in the Faculty of Information Technology\, Monash University\, and is the author of Storming Heaven: Class Composition and Struggle in Italian Autonomist Marxism (Pluto Press\, 2002). His current research is focussed on the creation and use of documents amongst the Italian workerists of the 1960s and 1970s. \n\n  \nPRESENTATION SLIDES:\n“The Political:

In this talk\, I examine a problematic prediction of proposals about the formal properties of surface correspondence for harmony patterns that are partially overlapping in a language. I discuss the types of refinements necessary for a surface correspondence account\, and consider implications for the theoretical approach in general. \nMore specifically\, this talk identifies a novel and problematic typological prediction of transitive surface correspondence relations with chain-­‐adjacent evaluation of identity\, dubbed the Closest Correspondent Trigger Prediction. The problem is exemplified by the interaction of two overlapping vowel harmonies in the dialect of Pasiego Montañes\, where a target vowel agrees with different trigger segments for different features. A revised feature-­‐restricted evaluation of identity constraints that operate over surface correspondents is proposed\, where evaluation is restricted to the subset of correspondents that share a given set of features. This move essentially merges the previous division of labor in surface correspondence theory between constraints that promote interactions among similar segments and those that enforce identity between such segments. The result is a theory where surface identity constraints are the prime locus of pattern-­‐shaping and there is a much reduced role for constraints that drive surface correspondence. Future directions on the status of constraints that drive surface correspondence and the treatment of locality are considered.\n  \n\n  \nAbout eight times each year the department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world.\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 URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/linguistics-research-colloquia-rachel-walker-2/ LOCATION:Santa Cruz\, 95064\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Linguistics Department":MAILTO:mjzimmer@ucsc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20150207T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20150207T143000 DTSTAMP:20260406T024931 CREATED:20150122T223227Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150122T223227Z UID:10005036-1423314000-1423319400@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Fighting for the Emperor: Nisei Soldiers in the Imperial Armed Forces DESCRIPTION:While more than 110\,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans in the United States endured mass incarceration during WWII\, the war also altered the lives of thousands of Japanese Americans who were stranded in Japan. For many Nisei strandees in Japan\, the war blurred the boundaries of their citizenship\, as they found themselves in situations where they had little room to negotiate their national allegiance. As the battles in the Pacific theater dragged on\, the Japanese government drafted a significant number of Nisei men in Japan to serve in the military and take arms against the United States. \nThe Nisei soldiers and sailors in the Japanese armed forces who survived the war learned that they had been stripped of their U.S. citizenship as a result of their service to the Japanese emperor. Although these veterans of the Japanese military could recover their U.S. citizenship after the war\, the onus was on them to convince the U.S. government that they had been forced to serve the Japanese emperor. \nDr. Michael Jin of Texas A&M University will be at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj) to discuss his research in a presentation entitled “The War and Its Aftermath: Nisei Draftees in the Imperial Armed Forces.” His presentation will be followed by a special discussion featuring two Japanese Americans who found themselves serving in the Japanese military during WWII: Peter Sano and Jimmie Matsuda.\n  \nMICHAEL JIN is an assistant professor of history at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. His areas of specialty include migration and diaspora studies\, critical race and ethnic studies\, and Asian American and Pacific Islander history. He is currently working on a manuscript that examines the experiences of U.S.-born Japanese American migrants in Japan and the Japanese colonial world in Asia before and during WWII. \nPETER SANO grew up in a large farming family in Brawley\, California. At the age of 15\, although he knew no Japanese\, he was sent to Japan to become the adopted son of a wealthy uncle and aunt who were childless. In 1945\, he was drafted into the Japanese Army and was sent to Korea\, then Manchuria\, close to the Soviet border. After his unit surrendered to the Russians\, he was sent to a Siberian POW camp for nearly three years. He returned to the United States in 1952 and later wrote a book about his experiences entitled 1\,000 Days in Siberia. \nJIMMIE MATSUDA was born in 1927 in Hood River\, Oregon. At the age of 11\, while visiting Japan\, he got sick\, causing his family to miss the ship that was to carry them back to the United States. So they decided to stay in Japan. Bu t in 1943\, after graduating from high school\, Matsuda volunteered for the Japanese Navy and became a kamikaze pilot. His unit was ordered to Okinawa in 1945\, but because of his knowledge of English\, he was ordered to stay behind to translate U.S. military code. He returned to California in the early 1950s.\n  \nCost: Free with admission to the museum (non-members\, $5; students and seniors over age 65\, $3; JAMsj members and children under 12\, free). \nRSVP: Contact PublicPrograms@jamsj.org or call (408) 294-3138 to reserve a spot.

Unpacking the class specific dynamics and experiences of precarization\, I discuss how the commodification of land\, labor\, housing and the environment has triggered collective struggles by farmers\, workers and the middle class. To maintain social stability\, the Chinese state has responded\, on the one hand\, with new social protection policies of uneven effectiveness\, and on the other\, a practice of “buying stability” which unwittingly commodifies state authority and citizen’s rights\, sowing seeds of precariousness in the regime’s authoritarian governance. \nChing Kwan Lee is Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Los Angeles. She obtained her PhD in Sociology at the University of California\, Berkeley and taught at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and University of Michigan before moving to UCLA. Her publications have focused on labor\, social activism\, political sociology and development in China and the Global South. \nLee is author of Against the Law: Labor Protests in China’s Rustbelt and Sunbelt (2007)\, and Gender and the South China Miracle: Two Worlds of Factory Women (1998). Her edited and co-edited books include From the Iron Rice Bowl to Informalization: Markets\, Workers and the State in a Changing China (2011); Reclaiming Chinese Society: New Social Activism (2009)\, Re-envisioning the Chinese Revolution: Politics and Poetics of Collective Memory in Reform China (2007) and Working in China: Ethnographies of Labor and Workplace Transformation (2007). \nShe is currently working on two book manuscripts. One is on forty years of state and society relation in China\, and the other on Chinese investment in Zambia. \n  \nEVENT PODCAST:\n \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

She has published fifteen novels\, among them El complot de los románticos (winner of the Premio de Novela Café Gijón in 2008)\, Las paredes hablan\, La virgen y el violin\, and perhaps most famously\, Llanto. Her works in English translation include They’re Cows\, We’re Pigs; Leaving Tabasco; and Cleopatra Dismounts\, all published by Grove Press\, and Jump of the Manta Ray\, with illustrations by Philip Hughes\, published by The Old Press. Her novels have also been translated into Italian\, Dutch\, German\, French\, Portuguese\, Chinese\, and Russian. A prominent essayist and journalist\, she writes a regular column for El Universal in Mexico City. She has taught at Georgetown\, Columbia\, and New York University\, as well as at universities in nearly a dozen other countries. She is currently Distinguished Lecturer at the City College of New York. \nIn her latest novel\, Texas: The Great Theft (Deep Vellum\, 2014)\, originally published as Tejas: La gran ladronería en la frontera norte (Editorial Alfaguera\, 2013)\, Carmen Boullosa challenges US versions of the romantic origins of Texas. Set on the eve of the US Civil War in the fictional twin border cities of Bruneville and Matasanchez\, the novel depicts relations among gringos\, German immigrants\, Mexican landowners and laborers\, escaped slaves\, Apaches\, and Comanches. In the words of the Dallas Morning News’ Roberto Ontiveros\, it “sardonically explodes and seductively reins itself back in with a panoptic prose that stares down hard into the absurd and uncomfortable prejudices that have historically split this region.” \nFor an advance PDF copy of the novel in Spanish and/or in English\, please contact Kirsten Silva Gruesz (ksgruesz@ucsc.edu).

Talking Birds and Prophetic Birds in Early Imperial Rome” DESCRIPTION:In Republican Rome\, birds had served as the messengers of the gods\, communicating in ways that only a few religious specialists could fully understand and interpret. At the turn of the first century CE\, these same birds began to speak plain Latin\, apparently endorsing the new regime of the Caesars in language that anyone could understand. On closer examination\, however\, these talking birds turn out to be transmitting a much more troubling message about the constitution of the Roman body politic at a moment of uncertainty and rapid change. \nMartin Devecka is a post-doctoral fellow at Yale University who will join the Classical Studies faculty at UC Santa Cruz in 2015-16. He is a cultural historian with a special interest in applying the methods of sociology to the ancient world. Current projects include a comparative history of ruins\, a historical zoology of the Roman Empire\, and an investigation of peripatetic attitudes toward technology.

Among the most prominent of these was the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency (UNRRA)\, the mission of which was to aid countries negatively impacted by the military campaigns. The British Government of India strongly signaled its support even as the subcontinent weathered the effects of one the worst famines ever encountered in the region. UNRRA was based in the United States and led by several men who considered themselves friends of India\, most notably famed New Yorkers Herbert Lehman and Fiorello LaGuardia. Over the next several years\, UNRRA pushed to create an Indian office and to incorporate Indians into administration based in the US\, in a good faith effort to circumvent charges of imperial complicity. So the agency leadership was especially surprised when they ran into resistance from India’s anti-colonial icons. UNRRA was too blind to the pernicious stranglehold of imperialism the Indians believed\, and so had to be challenged\, even as it was admired. The encounter thus exemplifies colonial India’s efforts to challenge and undo Great Power/Global North/Western control of UN bureaucracies from the outset\, and to reset both the tone and the substance of international relations by insisting on shared responsibilities and mutual respect. \nManu Bhagavan is the Chair of the Human Rights Program at the Roosevelt House Public Policy institute and a Professor of History at Hunter College and the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. He is a specialist on modern India\, focusing on the twentieth-century late-colonial and post-colonial periods\, with particular interests in human rights\, (inter)nationalism\, and questions of sovereignty. His most recent publication is The Peacemakers: India and the Quest for One World (Haper Collins\, 2012).

We’ll look at these striking properties of the Irish sound system. However\, we’ll also see ways in which Irish reflects deep truths about all linguistic sound systems. This will include considering how the language’s status as a minority language in a largely English- speaking country may be permanently altering its sound system. Along the way we’ll learn about using ultrasound and perceptual experiments to study sound systems.

I will illustrate the main concepts by focusing on the example of a first-year Spanish course developed for The Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS)\, whose Language Studies division follows an exclusively content-based model of instruction. Though I will be speaking about a strict interpretation of content-based instruction (where only authentic target language materials are used)\, the information presented will be easily applicable to any foreign language learning context where the instructor seeks to incorporate authentic content as part of the curriculum. \nIn order to plan effectively for a content-­‐based course\, it is important to establish and clarify early on a set of guidelines for how the curriculum should be structured. I argue that an understanding of language as expressed through the perspectives of constructivism and connectionism not only lends support to the validity of content-­‐based methodology but also can provide clear directives for the kinds of activities instructors can use to engage students.

(1974)\, M.S. (1978) and Ph.D. (1982) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After receiving his doctorate\, he held senior research and administrative positions at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre in California\, and was an adjunct associate professor in the Philosophy and Computer Science departments at Stanford University. He was a founder and principal investigator of the Stanford-based Centre for the Study of Language and Information\, and was a founder and first President of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. \nIn 1996 Brian moved to the Indiana University at Bloomington\, where he was professor of cognitive science\, computer science\, philosophy\, and informatics\, and a fellow of the Center for Social Informatics in the School of Library and Information Sciences. He then moved to Duke University\, as the Kimberly J. Jenkins University Professor of Philosophy and New Technologies\, and professor of Philosophy and Computer Science. \nBrian is the author of more than 35 articles and of On the Origin of Objects (MIT\, 1996).
