SUMMARY:Elena Gapova: "Suffering and the Soviet Man's Search for Meaning: The "Moral Revolutions" of Svetlana Alexievich"
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies and the Socialism/Postsocialism Research Cluster presents Elena Gapova \nSvetlana Alexievich\, the recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature\, is known for her unique literary method that blurs the genres of oral history and documentary prose. For each book\, she conducts\, over the period of five to ten years\, between 500 and 700 interviews with witness-participants or their surviving family members. In her montage of individual narratives\, she gives a voice to several Soviet generations\, if not to an entire Soviet society that has strained to make sense of the enormous suffering it experienced during the 20th century. Together\, Alexievich’s books make up a series that she calls “The Chronicle of the Big Utopia\, or The History of the Red Man.”  Some scholars claim that Alexievich created a genre of her own\, and in this presentation\, her work is treated as a form of moral philosophy\, a way to approach ethical issues through literature. The most prominent of these seems to be the question of the meaning of suffering\, as it is encountered by a post-Soviet man at the moment when the Soviet world is crumbling and falling apart. \nElena Gapova is Associate Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Western Michigan University; Founding Director\, Centre for Gender Studies\, European Humanities University (Belarusian “university-in-exile” in Lithuania). \n  \n\nWinter 2016 Cultural Studies Colloquium Series: \nJanuary 13- Elena Gapova: “Suffering and the Soviet Man’s Search for Meaning: The “Moral Revolutions” of Svetlana Alexievich”\nJanuary 20- Nicholas Mitchell: “On Afropessimism; or\, The People Critique Makes”\nJanuary 27- Joes Segal: “Post-Socialist Monuments: A Heavy Heritage”\nFebruary 3- Jonathan Beecher: “Visions of Revolution: European Writers ad the French Revolution of 1848”\nFebruary 10- B. Ruby Rich: “The Public and the Private: New Queer Cinema in the Age of Streaming”\nFebruary 17- Aaron Benanav: “Too Many People\, or Too Few Jobs? A Critique of Political Demography in the Post-WWII Era”\nFebruary 24- Beléna Bistué: “Aztec Pictograms and Moorish Names: Multilingual Translation Practices in Colonial Spanish America”\nMarch 2- Nathaniel Mackey: “Breath and Precarity”

SUMMARY:Socialism and Postsocialism Roundtable Discussion with Elena Gapova
DESCRIPTION:The Berlin Wall collapsed in 1989\, marking the ostensible end of the socialist project and the triumph of neoliberal economic policies around the globe. The result has been widespread de-industrialization\, unemployment\, ethnic conflict\, poverty\, and proliferating sex-traffic in the formerly socialist world\, which now in many ways exemplifies trends toward stagnation and crisis that affect the whole of the capitalist world economy. The purpose of this project is not only to address the issues which capitalism creates and subsequently ignores in its unrestricted expansion; but also to provide viable alternatives and solutions to these problems by using the lens of socialism\, which\, conceived of both as a set of historical projects to achieve a post-capitalist society as well as a horizon of political perspective and activity\, retains its urgency today in the face of the recent crises and long term trends of global capitalism. \n\n\nAt the same time\, we view socialism not merely as a question of area studies\, but also as a global historical phenomenon\, and in this sense\, we aim to pose the problem of postsocialism as one that ramifies far beyond the territories of current or formerly socialist states\, intersecting in productive ways with any number of other “post”-discourses in contemporary debates\, from postcolonialism to postfordism. \n\n  \nElena Gapova is Associate Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Western Michigan University; Founding Director\, Centre for Gender Studies\, European Humanities University (Belarusian “university-in-exile” in Lithuania). \nHunter Bivens\, Literature Department\, UCSC\nSara Blaylock\, History of Art and Visual Culture\, UCSC\nElena Gapova\, Department of Sociology\, Western Michigan University\nNatalia Koulinka\, History of Consciousness Department\, UCSC\nLisa Rofel\, Anthropology Department\, UCSC\nAndrei Tcacenco\, History Department\, UCSC \nIntroduced and Moderated by Neda Atanasoski\, Feminist Studies Department\,\nUCSC

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: James Beneda
DESCRIPTION:James Beneda \n“The Morally Incoherent Indoctrination of the American Soldier in Iraq: An Institutional Theory of Traumatic Experience” \nI take up an issue that most of us cannot help but see as a problem of individual psychology and restate it in terms of institutional politics and political ideologies. Starting from cognitive sociology and recent clinical research that reframes post-traumatic stress (PTSD) as ‘moral injury’\, I argue that the traumatic experiences of American soldiers in the Iraq War resulted from flawed cultural and institutional indoctrination. \n\n  \nFriday Forum Winter 2015 Schedule \nFridays\, 12:30 – 2:00pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. \nJanuary 15- James Beneda\, Politics\nJanuary 22- Alex Moore\, HAVC\nJanuary 29- Whitney Devos\, Literature\nFebruary 5- Sophia Magnone\, Literature\nFebruary 12- Andrei Tcacenco\, History\nFebruary 19- Amanda Reyes\, History & Consciousness\nFebruary 26- Keith Spencer\, Literature\nMarch 4- Laura Harrison\, Sociology\nMarch 11- Bristol Cave La-Costa\, HistoryJ

SUMMARY:Sharon Inkelas: "The A-map model: Articulatory reliability in child-specific phonology"
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, based on joint work with Tara McAllister Byun and Yvan Rose\, addresses a phenomenon of longstanding interest: the existence of child-specific phonological patterns which are not attested in adult language. We propose a new theoretical approach\, termed the A(rticulatory)-Map model\, to account for the origin and elimination of child-specific phonological patterns. Due to the performance limitations imposed by structural and motor immaturity\, children’s outputs differ from adult target forms in both systematic and sporadic ways. The computations of the child’s grammar are influenced by the distributional properties of motor-acoustic traces of previous productions\, stored in episodic memory and indexed in the eponymous A-map. We propose that child phonological patterns are shaped by competition between two essential forces: the pressure to match adult productions of a given word (even if the attempt is likely to fail due to performance limitations)\, and the pressure to attempt a pronunciation that can be realized reliably (even if phonetically inaccurate). These forces are expressed in the grammar by two constraints that draw on the motor-acoustic detail stored in the A-map. These constraints are not child-specific\, but remain present in the adult grammar\, although their influence is greatly attenuated as a wide range of motor plans come to be realized with a similar degree of reliability. The A-map model thus not only offers an account of a problematic phenomenon in development\, but also provides a mechanism to model motor- grammar interactions in adult speech\, including in cases of acquired speech impairment. \nSharon Inkelas is Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley.\n  \nLinguistic Colloquium Series: \nThe Linguistic department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2015\nOctober 9th: Keith Johnson\, UC Berkeley\nOctober 16th: Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona\nOctober 30th: Ivano Caponigro\, UC San Diego\nNovember 20th: Elliott Moreton\, University of North Carolina \nWinter 2016\nJanuary 15th: Sharon Inkelas\, UC Berkeley\nFebruary 5th: Colin Phillips\, University of Maryland\nFebruary 6th: N.

SUMMARY:Margaret Frantz Memorial
DESCRIPTION:A memorial for Marge Frantz (1922-2015) a Hist Con graduate (1984) and longtime colleague at UC Santa Cruz in Women’s Studies and American Studies will be held on Sunday\, January 17th from 2-5pm. \nRefreshments & reception following the program. \nAmple and free parking is available.  Enter UCSC at the WEST entrance.  Three stop signs and turn right and proceed to the end of the road. Recital Hall is in front of you. \nContributions in Marge’s memory are welcomed by Aptheker/Frantz Women’s Studies Endowment at UCSC\, American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California\, and Alzheimer’s Association\, Northern California and Northern Nevada Chapter. \n“An inspiring and beloved teacher\, skilled activist and generous friend\, Marge Frantz died in Santa Cruz on October 16 at the age of 93. Passionately committed to social justice\, she identified strongly with the three great social movements of her time: socialism\, civil rights and feminism. They shaped her as an organizer\, intellectual\, and teacher who refused hierarchies while embracing and delighting in differences. She crossed boundaries wherever she encountered them—between teachers and students\, academics and activists\, young and old\, rich and poor\, gay and straight\, black and white. Her emphasis on commonalities was crucial to the success of the progressive communities she created and sustained throughout her life…”  Read more. \nRead Frantz’ obituary in the Santa Cruz Sentinel here.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: "For Marx"
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening Hosted by Socialsim / Postsocialism Research Cluster \n“For Marx” (2012)\nDirected by is Svetlana Baskova \n \n“While the presence of the New Left in the new Russian culture cannot be denied nor ignored this ideological direction produces at this moment more questions than answers. Baskova’s new film channels some of the most burning ones: can Marxism indeed be repeated in Russia? How might this new attempt deal with the earlier\, problematic incarnation? Who will be its new interpreters and how will they discern a new theory from practice? All these anxiety-producing questions\, raised vividly by For Marx\, make it contemporary\, controversial\, and one of the most worthwhile film experiences of 2012.” – quote from Polina Barskova\, Associate Professor of Russian Literature at Hampshire College

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Alex Moore
DESCRIPTION:Alex Moore \n“Captive Natures: Grotesque desire in the performative sculptures of Amber Hawk Swanson” \nIn this paper I examine two projects by the artist Amber Hawk Swanson\, Tilikum\, 2011 and Lolita\, 2013. Through a process of radical identification with the captive Orca whales Tilikum and Lolita\, Hawk Swanson explores the ethics of aquatic theme park performances. I argue that the grotesque sculptures make visible the violence done to both humans and Orcas in the conceptions of nature\, culture\, and relationship manifested in the Shamu spectacle. \n\n  \nFriday Forum Winter 2015 Schedule \nFridays\, 12:30 – 2:00pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Joes Segal: "Cultural Integration"  
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn an interview from 1990\, German artist Georg Baselitz asserted that there were no artists in the GDR. Instead\, there were “assholes” who had supported a criminal system by betraying the essence of true art. Baselitz’s statement exemplifies a remarkable feature of public discourse in 1990s Germany: the return of a Cold War rhetoric after the end of the Cold War. This presentation examines the cultural aspects of the German reunification process by focusing on the public debates on East German cultural heritage\, in particular the stormy dispute over the meaning and relevance of East German art. It will be argued that since the visual arts had played an important role in the construction of an East German and a West German identity after World War II\, the art debates of the 1990s reflect the broader issue of identity and belonging in post-socialist Germany. \nJoes Segal is Chief Curator of The Wende Museum of the Cold War in Culver City\, CA. Segal has published extensively on Cold War culture\, German cultural history\, and art and politics in the twentieth century. He is chair of the Culture Network of the European Social Science and History Conference (ESSHC) and managing editor of the International Journal for History\, Culture and Modernity (HCM).

SUMMARY:Joes Segal: "Post-Socialist Monuments: A Heavy Heritage"
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies and the Socialism/Postsocialism Research Cluster presents Joes Segal \nLike street names\, public monuments tend to celebrate historical heroes and events that are deemed exemplary for the present state and the future direction of society. Taken together\, they constitute a canon of collective memory. However\, this canon is seldom uncontested\, and in times of revolution or regime change the new political leaders often try to redefine history in order to support their worldview and claim to power. Old heroes\, symbols and monuments suddenly become obsolete while new ones are created to evoke a sense of historical rupture or a brand new vision of historical continuity. Taking the fate of socialist monuments and their often ultra-nationalistic replacements after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union as a case study\, in this lecture I will explore the politics surrounding public monuments. \nJoes Segal is Chief Curator of The Wende Museum of the Cold War in Culver City\, CA. Segal has published extensively on Cold War culture\, German cultural history\, and art and politics in the twentieth century. He is chair of the Culture Network of the European Social Science and History Conference (ESSHC) and managing editor of the International Journal for History\, Culture and Modernity (HCM). \n  \n\nWinter 2016 Cultural Studies Colloquium Series: \nJanuary 13- Elena Gapova: “Suffering and the Soviet Man’s Search for Meaning: The “Moral Revolutions” of Svetlana Alexievich”\nJanuary 20- Nicholas Mitchell: “On Afropessimism; or\, The People Critique Makes”\nJanuary 27- Joes Segal: “Post-Socialist Monuments: A Heavy Heritage”\nFebruary 3- Jonathan Beecher: “Visions of Revolution: European Writers ad the French Revolution of 1848”\nFebruary 10- B.

SUMMARY:Shaul Bassi: "Shylock vs. Sarra Copia Sullam: Reframing the Venice Ghetto\, 1516-2016"
DESCRIPTION:The Ghetto of Venice\, founded 500 years ago\, has been long haunted by the ghostly presence of Shylock\, the most famous imaginary Jew. The lecture will consider Shakespeare alongside the work of Jewish Venetian poet Sarra Copia Sullam (1592-1641)\, as well as contemporary poetry and fiction that reimagines the Ghetto for the global present. \nShaul Bassi is Associate Professor of English and postcolonial literature at Ca’Foscari University of Venice. His research\, teaching and publications are divided between Shakespeare\, postcolonial studies (India and Africa)\, and Jewish studies. He has published Le metamorfosi di Otello. Storia di un’etnicità immaginaria (Grafis\, 2000) and edited an Italian critical edition of Otello (Marsilio\, 2009). Recent publications include Visions of Venice in Shakespeare (with Laura Tosi\, Ashgate\, 2011)\, Experiences of Freedom in Postcolonial Literatures and Cultures (with Annalisa Oboe\, Routledge\, 2011); Shakespeare’s Italy and Italy’s Shakespeare. Place\, ‘Race’\, and Politics (Palgrave Macmillan) is forthcoming. He is currently involved in multiple literary and cultural projects related to the 500th anniversary of the Ghetto of Venice (1516-2016).\n  \nCo-sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies\, Shakespeare Workshop\, Italian Studies\, Cowell College\, and the Institute for Humanities Research.
