What alternative histories are concealed by such a story? How might we imagine DH differently if we move beyond a focus on text toward multimodal expression and design? What audiences might such work reach? This talk will trace some of the alternate histories of DH\, paying particular attention to the visual and the political by engaging the work of feminists\, artists\, and scholars of color. \nMcPherson will also consider how scholarly evidence might be engaged anew through the aesthetic possibilities of the digital archive. By taking up the work of the Vectors Lab\, she will approach these questions through concrete examples of digital scholarship today. \n\n  \nCraig Dietrich is a digital artist\, scholar\, and educator. Deitrich is currently the Director of the Digital Humanities Research Studio at Claremont Colleges. \nTara McPherson is Associate Professor of Critical Studies at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. She is a core faculty member of the IMAP program\, USC’s innovative practice based-Ph.D.\, and also an affiliated faculty member in the American Studies and Ethnicity Department. Her research engages the cultural dimensions of media\, including the intersection of gender\, race\, affect and place. She has a particular interest in digital media. Here\, her research focuses on the digital humanities\, early software histories\, gender\, and race\, as well as upon the development of new tools and paradigms for digital publishing\, learning\, and authorship. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSC IGHERT Program\, Film + Digital Media\, HAVC\,  University Library\, Grad Division URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/hands-on-digital-humanities-scalar-the-future-of-scholarly-publishing-3/ LOCATION:Stevenson Fireside Lounge\, Humanites 1 University of California\, Santa Cruz Cowell College\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thi.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scalar-poster-Final_11-17.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160503T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160503T180000 DTSTAMP:20260522T163224 CREATED:20160426T172844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160426T172844Z UID:10006372-1462293000-1462298400@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Paul Lee: "The Greeks had a word for it: thumos" DESCRIPTION:Paul Lee studied philosophy at St. Olaf College and received his divinity degree and PhD from Harvard.

This workshop will serve as an introduction to Scalar\, a free\, open source authoring and publishing platform designed for scholars writing media-rich\, long-form\, born-digital scholarship. Developed by The Alliance for Networking Visual Culture at the University of Southern California\, Scalar allows scholars to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose that media with their own writing in a variety of ways; to annotate video\, audio\, images\, source code and text using the platform’s built-in media annotation tools; and to structure essay- and book-length works in ways that take advantage of the unique capabilities of digital writing\, including nested\, recursive\, and non-linear formats. The workshop will cover basic features of the platform\, including a review of existing Scalar books and a hands-on introduction to paths\, tags\, annotations and importing media. It will also cover more advanced topics including Scalar’s built-in visualizations\, annotating with media\, and a sprinkling of design theory by Craig Dietrich\, Scalar’s Information Design Director. \nThis event requires registration! | REGISTER NOW  \nCoffee will be available from 9:30 AM and lunch will be served at 12 PM for registered participants. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSC IGHERT Program\, Film + Digital Media\, HAVC\,  University Library\, Grad Division URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/workshop-publishing-in-scalar-3/ LOCATION:Humanities 1\, Room 202 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thi.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scalar-poster-Final_11-17.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160504T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160504T140000 DTSTAMP:20260522T163224 CREATED:20150612T215426Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150612T215426Z UID:10005120-1462364100-1462370400@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Donna V.

Odysseus is famous for his mētis\, exactly the kind of practical reasoning upon which improvisation depends\, and close readings of his encounters abroad with the Cyclops and at home with Eumaeus\, Telemachus\, Penelope\, and Laertes will show that Odysseus’ lies and acts of deception do not temporarily disguise his true identity but rather enable him to construct himself anew upon his return. \nCarol Dougherty is Professor of Classical Studies and Margaret E. Deffenbaugh and LeRoy T. Carlson Professor in Comparative Literature at Wellesley College. She has published numerous books and articles on the literature and cultural history of archaic and classical Greece and is currently working on a book on Homecomings and Housekeepings in Classical and Contemporary Literature.

In 2014 she was awarded the Artist Award by the Melbourne Art Foundation’s Awards for the Visual Arts. She is well known for her invented\, hybrid creatures which explore the end limits of evolution\, both technological and biological. These creatures evoke the biotechnology and digital technologies that are challenging the boundaries of humanity. \nAs Donna Haraway writes\, “Piccinini is a compelling story teller in the radical experimental lineage of feminist science fiction. In a sf sense\, Piccinini’s objects are replete with narrative speculative fabulation. Her visual and sculptural art is about worlding; i.e.\, “naturaltechnical” worlds at stake\, worlds needy for care and response\, worlds full of unsettling but oddly familiar critters who turn out to be simultaneously near kin and alien colonists.” \nDonna Haraway is a Distinguished Professor Emerita in the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies Departments at UC Santa Cruz. She is a prominent scholar in the field of science and technology studies and the author of numerous books and essays that bring together questions of science and feminism\, such as A Cyborg Manifesto: Science\, Technology\, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century (1985) and Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective (1988). In September 2000\, Haraway was awarded the highest honor given by the Society for Social Studies of Science\, the J.D. Bernal Prize\, for lifetime contributions to the field.

My parents were both English professors\, so naturally I read a lot. I read a lot in college too\, and read even more in graduate school. Then I moved to New York City and started writing full time. \nMy first novel\, Warp\, came out in 1997. My second\, Codex\, was published in 2004 and became an international bestseller. The Magicians was published in 2009 and was a New York Times bestseller and one of the New Yorker‘s best books of the year. The sequel\, The Magician King\, came out in 2011 and was a Times bestseller too. The third and (almost certainly) last Magicians book\, The Magician’s Land\, was published in 2014 and debuted at #1 on the bestseller list. \nThe Magicians books have now been published in twenty-five countries and have gotten praise from among others George R.R. Martin\, John Green\, Audrey Niffenegger\, Erin Morgenstern\, Joe Hill\, William Gibson\, Kelly Link\, Gregory Maguire\, and Junot Diaz. A Syfy series based on the trilogy is currently shooting and will premiere in early 2016. \nI also write a lot of journalism. I’ve been the book critic at Time magazine since 2002. The New York Timesdescribed me as “among this country’s smartest and reliable critics.” I’ve written a dozen or so cover stories for Time\, and my essays and criticism have also been in the Believer\, the Village Voice\, the Wall Street Journal\, the New York Times\, Salon\, Slate\, Wired\, Entertainment Weekly\,  the Week\, Lingua Francaand many other places. I’ve won several awards for journalism\, including a Deadline award in 2006. I make regular appearances on campuses\, including Harvard\, Yale and Oxford\, and as a commentator on NPR. \nI live in Brooklyn with my wife\, two daughters and one son\, in a creaky old house. \n\n  \nSpring 2016 Living Writers Series: Out of Line \nWhy Out of Line? \n“I chose the theme Out of Line because it characterizes the way many of these writers work across genre\, in different genres\, and generally seem to prize the element of surprise in their writing.

Their transnational experience points to the racial and gendered division of labor that deployed itself throughout Nazi occupied Europe. In an attempt to sustain the war effort while limiting German’s women’s draft and preserve their status as mothers and housewives\, the National-socialist state chose to rely on the forced labor of millions of foreign men and women from occupied territories who where brought to the Reich. Drawing from a case study on the high-tech electronic industry in Berlin between 1940 and 1945\, I reveal how French women’s “voluntary work” became more and more coerced as the war went on. Segregated housing in camps ensured a tight control of these workers as well as it prevented them from founding families on the German soil\, but it also provided unexpected space for solidarity and resistance to forced labor. \nCamille Fauroux is a doctoral candidate at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. This year\, she is a visiting research associate at UC Santa Cruz. Her dissertation\, under the supervision of Prof. Laura Lee Downs\, examines French women’s labor in National-socialist Germany between 1940 and 1945. Her research interests include forced labor\, migration\, sexuality\, and the transnational construction of gender. \nLight refreshments will be provided.

She holds an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, and her poems have appeared in the Iowa Review\, the PEN Poetry Series\, The Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day Feature\, TYPO\, The Volta\, Diagram\, and elsewhere. In 2013\, Brave Men Press published This Always Happens\, a book of her drawings\, and she has provided cover art for several poetry collections. She lives in Oakland\, CA. \n  \nPoet Julien Poirier grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and was educated at Columbia University. He has described his poems as a system or a conversation already in progress\, aligning observed and spoken ephemera with sound echoes\, tracing the movement of a restless mind across themes of politics\, poetics\, and daily life. In an article on reading Poirier for EOAGH: A Journal of the Arts\, poet Filip Marinovich stated\, “Poirier is a Genius in the classical sense: a resident spirit of Poetry\, arcangeling words through the top of one’s lifted head. …” In a 2013 interview with Noel Black for BOMB Magazine\, Poirier offered the following: “It’s exciting to be writing poems now … because if you can plunge into the simultaneity of all of these events that warped you in some way\, drove you crazy or forced you to find some narrow streak of optimism in the evident relentless disaster\, then you might\, as a poet\, be able to get deeper and deeper into an understanding of what’s happening. You might be able to understand the way things work together and make a poem map\, ‘a map to the map’ as my friend Tony said\, before you forget. And it’s incredibly exciting because there are about a million ways to go about doing this.” \nPoirier is the author of the full-length poetry collection El Golpe Chileño (2010); several chapbooks\, including Flying Over the Fence with Amadou Diallo (2000)\,Short Stack (2005)\, and Stained Glass Windows of California (2012); and the formally innovative newspaper novel Living! Go and Dream (2005). \nA founding member of Ugly Duckling Presse Collective\, Poirier edited the New York Nights newspaper from 2001 to 2006. He has taught poetry in New York City public schools and at San Quentin State Prison. He lives in Berkeley with his wife and two daughters. \n\n  \nSpring 2016 Living Writers Series: Out of Line \nWhy Out of Line? \n“I chose the theme Out of Line because it characterizes the way many of these writers work across genre\, in different genres\, and generally seem to prize the element of surprise in their writing.

Such an attachment to the reparative and/or divisive logic of “science” is most evident in minoritized knowledge-formations such as sexuality studies and colonial/postcolonial studies. In the face of contemporary challenges about the limits of scholarship bowing out to the forces of globalization\, the colloquium will examine what is at stake for sexuality studies and postcolonial studies to carve out a critical relationship to histories of science? \nThe types of issues we envisage participants addressing will engage three central questions: \nWhat are the conversations instituted about sexuality in relationship to the colonial and postcolonial state in the global south?\nHow does sexuality studies’s own adherence/attachment to science studies parochialize key assumptions about freedom\, rights and the subject?\nWhat are the ways in which modalities of sentiment\, affect\, emotion entangle with the logic of state discourses and what role does sexuality play within such exchanges? \nSchedule:\n10:00am–10:15am: Introductory Remarks\nAnjali Arondekar\, Feminist Studies\, UCSC \n10:15am-10:30am: Poetic Techne\nRonaldo Wilson\, Literature\, UCSC \n10:30-12:30: The Arabic Freud and the Invention of the Psychosexual Subject\nOmnia El Shakry\, History\, UC Davis\nRespondent: Alma Heckman\, History\, UCSC \n12:30-1:30: Break \n1:30-3:30: Origins and the Sexuality of Science in Colonial India\nDurba Mitra\, History\, Fordham\nRespondent: Megan Moodie\, Anthropology\, UCSC \nParticipants:\nDurba Mitra\, Department of History\, Fordham University \nOrigins and the Sexuality of Science in Colonial India \nDurba Mitra is an assistant professor of history at Fordham University.

Cole\, Identity or “Mere Identification”? Biometric Databases from Fingerprinting to DNA. \nThis talk traces the history of biometric identification technologies from their origins through to the present and the ethical and humanistic issues that have persistently been raised by them. It then discusses how we should understand these issues in the present moment of rapid technological advancement. It focuses in particular on the relationship between “mere” identification and broader notions of identity—behavioral\, racial\, and so on\, and implications for the increasing expansion of genetic databases. \nSimon Cole is Professor of Criminology\, Law and Society and Director of the Newkirk Center for Science and Society at the University of California\, Irvine. \nThese talks will be followed by a conversation about research projects\, new issues and directions\, information exchange and coffee and cookies.
