SUMMARY:Linking Citizenship\, Migration\, Labor\, Border\, and Carceral Studies: A Seminar with Bridget Anderson
DESCRIPTION:How\, when\, where\, and why do citizenship\, migration\, labor\, border\, and carceral studies converge? What happens when we put these fields in dialogue with one another? Why the distinction between migration studies and refugee studies? When do forced migration and labor migration overlap and when are they different? Who is a “migrant\,” “refugee\,” “citizen\,” and “worker”? What is the difference between prisoner and detainee? Between citizen and denizen? Over 2016-17\, scholars at UC Santa Cruz involved with Non-citizenship\, our Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, will grapple with these questions as we reflect on and link our Sawyer Seminar’s 3 themes: forced migration\, labor mobility and precarity\, and the fluidity of status. Bridget Anderson\, Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director of the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford\, helps kick off our discussion by leading a seminar for UC Santa Cruz faculty\, staff\, and students on key and emerging questions and concerns in citizenship\, migration\, labor\, border\, and carceral studies. \nEmily Mitchell-Eaton\, Andrew W.

SUMMARY:Micah Perks: "What Becomes Us"
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the launch of this wonderfully consuming new novel from local author\, professor\, and co-director of UCSC’s creative writing program Micah Perks. Following a near-fatal accident\, Evie\, a mild-mannered\, pregnant school teacher\, abandons her controlling husband and flees California for the wilds of western New York. She rents a farm house on a dead end road in a close-knit community that is divided by local colonial history\, a story that goes deep to the roots of the American conscience—and when she begins teaching at the local high school\, Evie herself becomes obsessed with The Captivity and Restoration of Mary Rowlandson\, the first book written by a woman in the Americas that details Rowlandson’s captivity during King Philip’s War in the seventeenth century. As Mary Rowlandson’s insatiable hunger begins to fill Evie’s dreams\, Evie wonders if she may actually be haunted. At the same time\, Evie’s connections to her new community begin to simmer\, and as she grows more pregnant\, her desires and hunger grow out of control\, threatening to destroy her new world. Ten years in the making\, What Becomes Us will hold you to the last page with its unforgettable cast and story. \n“Micah Perks’ book has everything a reader could hope for — her language is lively\, her characters appealing. Set in a storied landscape\, with themes of independence and community. Romance! History! Food! Plus a tale to tell and some surprising people to tell it. There is real magic here. Micah magic! Completely original\, completely delightful.”  –Karen Joy Fowler\, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves \n“I’ve been obsessed with Mary Rowlandson for 20 years\, and was delighted to find that Micah Perks writes about her with fireworks. This is a warm\, wild\, hilarious\, eccentric and moving book.”  –Lauren Groff\, author of Fates and Furies and Arcadia \nMicah Perks grew up in a log cabin on a commune in the Adirondack wilderness. She is the author of a novel\, We Are Gathered Here\, a memoir\, Pagan Time\, and a long personal essay\, Alone In The Woods: Cheryl Strayed\, My Daughter and Me. Her short stories and essays have won five Pushcart Prize nominations and appeared in Epoch\, Zyzzyva\, Tin House\, The Toast\, OZY and The Rumpus\, amongst many journals and anthologies. Excerpts of What Becomes Us won a National Endowment for the Arts grant and The New Guard Machigonne 2014 Fiction Prize. She received her BA and MFA from Cornell University and now lives with her family in Santa Cruz where she co-directs the creative writing program at UCSC.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Jennifer Chang
DESCRIPTION:Poet and scholar Jennifer Chang was born in New Jersey. She is a Henry Hoyns Fellow at the University of Virginia\, where she is a PhD candidate. Chang’s lyrical poems often explore the shifting boundaries between the outer world and the self. Chang’s debut poetry collection\, The History of Anonymity (2008)\, was selected for the Virginia Quarterly Review’s Poetry Series and was a finalist for the Shenandoah/ Glasgow Prize for Emerging Writers. Speaking to the “emotional landscapes” of myths and fairy tales that surface occasionally in her poems\, Chang stated in a 2008 interview on Critical Mass (the blog of the National Book Critics Circle board of directors): “As a scholar\, I don’t trust autobiography\, and as a lyric poet\, I don’t trust narrative: both enforce a coherence that reveals more about the writer’s motives at the moment rather than the life or story being told. What I do trust is mystery; I trust confusion.”Chang co-chairs the advisory board of Kundiman\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the support and promotion of Asian American poetry. She lives in Charlottesville\, Virginia. \nLiving Writers is a series of events that are free to students and the public\, and happens every Thursday night from 6-7:45pm in the Humanities Lecture Hall\, room 206. This series will be focusing on fiction writers as well as filmmakers. It’s going to be an exciting series and we hope to see you there!  For more details\, please email us at cwintern@gmail.com \n10/13 experimental memoirist Michelle Tea\, author most recently of the apocalyptic memoir Black Wave \n10/20 novelist Alfredo Vea\, author most recently of The Mexican Flyboy\, about a Latino super hero who goes back in time to save historical heroes from painful deaths \n10/27 poet and Pulitzer prize finalist Elizabeth Willis \n  \n11/10 fiction and non-fiction writer Peter Orner\, author most recently of Am I Alone Here\, a memoir-essay hybrid about living to read/reading to live \nReadings sponsored by The Humanities Division\, The Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, The Literature Department and Poets and Writers Inc.

SUMMARY:Bridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present\nLeading labor and migration scholar\, Bridget Anderson\, for the inaugural event in a series of events on Non-citizenship\, our 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture.. \n \nBridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series) 10.6.16 from IHR on Vimeo \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Steve Kurtz\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nIn her keynote address\, “The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly:  Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion\,” Professor Anderson explores citizenship as both a legal status and moral claim. She examines what attention to debates about migration exposes about the nature of the “good citizen” and the rise of the worker citizen. Rather than seeing migrants and citizens as competitors for the privileges of membership\, she argues for the importance of politics that are attentive to the connections between the non-citizen migrant and the “failed citizen” on welfare or with a criminal record.  This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nSylvanna Falcón\, associate professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, will facilitate the discussion following Professor Anderson’s remarks. \nPhoto exhibit Expulsion: Stories of Displacement from Colombia\, India\, Mexico and the United States\, co-curated by Claudia Maria Lopez\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar Graduate Student Fellow. \nBridget Anderson is Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director at the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford. She is the author of numerous publications\, including Us and Them? The Dangerous Politics of Immigration Controls (Oxford University Press\, 2013) and Doing the Dirty Work? The Global Politics of Domestic Labour (Zed Books\, 2000). Exploring the tension between labor market flexibilities and citizenship rights\, she has pioneered an understanding of the functions of immigration in key labor market sectors. Her interest in labor demand has meant an engagement with debates about trafficking\, modern day slavery\, state enforcement\, and deportation. She is particularly concerned with the ways immigration controls increasingly impact citizens and migrants alike. \nLocation:\nSanta Cruz Museum of Art and History (705 Front Street\, Santa Cruz) \nEvent details:\nReception at 6:30pm / Lecture at 7:00pm \nAdmission:\nFree and open to the public\, but attendees are asked to register in advance. \nREGISTER HERE \nOther Events with Bridget Anderson\nFriday\, September 16\, 11:00am-1:00pm\, Charles E.

Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture. Linking citizenship\, migration\, border\, labor\, and carceral studies\, and juxtaposing spatial and social mobility and immobility\, this year-long series of events explores what it means to be a citizen and non-citizen in a world made by migrants\, refugees\, guest workers\, permanent residents\, asylum seekers\, slaves\, prisoners\, detainees\, the stateless\, and denizens (residents who do not hold the same rights as citizens). Non-citizenship is organized around three themes: “Forced Migration” (fall 2016)\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity” (winter 2017)\, and “Fluidity of Status: Migrants\, Citizens\, Denizens” (spring 2017). Click here to learn more.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Akira Omaki
DESCRIPTION:Akira Omaki will be speaking on Developing incrementality: Grammar and parsing of wh-dependencies in children \nIt is well established in the adult psycholinguistics literature that our comprehension is incremental: based on partial sentence input\, the parser uses linguistic knowledge and multiple sources of information to assign interpretations. However\, it has largely remained unknown how\nsuch incremental processing mechanisms emerge during development\, or how the immature\nparsing mechanisms affect the course of grammar acquisition. In this talk\, I will present recent\nstudies in my lab that explore these questions for wh-dependencies. In the first part of the talk\, I\nwill discuss how the mis-adoption of wh-scope marking grammar in English-speaking children\n(Thornton\, 1990) could derive from incremental processing of wh-dependencies. I argue that\nwhile this is theoretically feasible\, the apparent scope-marking grammar may be a production-\nspecific phenomenon\, and that it does not result from a mis-set parameter\, at least in English. In\nthe second part of the talk\, I will explore how incremental mechanisms for wh-dependency\nprocessing develop through language experience. Our visual world eye-tracking studies show\nthat 5-year-old children do not complete wh-dependencies incrementally\, but incremental\ndependency processing emerges after production (but not comprehension) priming of such\ndependencies. I will discuss implications of these findings for theories of language acquisition\nand language processing. \nThe Linguistic department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2016 \nOct 21 & Oct 22: CUSP (California Universities Semantics & Pragmatics) \nNov 18: Kie Zuraw\, UCLA \nWinter 2017 \nFebruary 7: TBA \nMarch TBD: LASC: Linguistics at Santa Cruz \nSpring 2016 \nApril 14: Junko Ito\, UC Santa Cruz \nApril 28: Ashwini Deo\, Yale \nMay 26: Susan Lin\, UC Berkeley \nMay/June TBD: LURC: Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference

SUMMARY:Bernard Stiegler: "Beyond the Anthropocene"
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to think in a state of emergency? \nThis is now a pressing question when the Anthropocene disrupts the biosphere where we – permanently connected and algorithmically controlled – live in a permanent state of emergency\, universal\, and unpredictable. \nLunch will be provided at 11am in Humanities 1\, Room 202. \nTwo theses will be addressed:\n– On the one hand\, to think in the Anthropocene\, one must rethink the Anthropocene itself\, and to rethink the Anthropocene\, we must think beyond the Anthropocene\, which is a dead end.\n– On the other hand\, beyond the Anthropocene\, there is the Neguanthropocene\, a coming era in which thinking means taking care (in French\, « panser » ; in German « sorgen »).\nThis is what will be expressed by an untranslatable neologism\, a neologism not unrelated to Jacques Derrida’s concept of « differance » : in the Anthropocene\, thought becomes « la p(a)nsée ». \nBernard Stiegler will also have an event at 4pm in Porter 245 were he will talk about digital studies at the Visual and Media Cultures Colloquium. \nRespondents: Hayden White\, Wlad Godzich\, and Anna Tsing. \nSponsored by: Computation\, Culture\, and Games Research Cluster\, Center for Cultural Studies\, Institute for Humanities Research\, Arts Division\, DANM\, and Film & Digital Media. \nBernard Stiegler directs the Institut de recherche et d’innovation du Centre Pompidou and is president of the Ars Industrialis association. He is affiliate faculty at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne\, distinguished professor at Nanjing University\, and visiting professor at the Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University. \n  \n\n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a Wednesday colloquium series\, which features current cultural studies work by campus faculty and visitors. The sessions are informal\, normally consisting of a 30-40 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center will provide coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nFall 2016 Colloquium Dates: \nOctober 19 Paul N.

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Sara Mameni
DESCRIPTION:“Ethnofuturism and the Archeology of the Future”\nSara Mameni\, UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow \nIn her video project\, “In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain” (2014)\, Larissa Sansour enters the fictional world of a resistance group who bury porcelain remains of an imaginary civilization to influence history and support their claims to land and sovereignty. Shuttling between past and future\, the film uses science fiction aesthetics and speculative language to re-write the history of the future and lay claim to home. Similarly\, Morehshin Allahyari’s ongoing project titled “Material Speculation” (2015) reconstructs archeological artifacts destroyed by ISIS in 3D format \, archiving lost objects by including a digital memory card inside each newly constructed artifact. Sansour and Allahyari use the science of past-making to enter into the future. Yet unlike archeology’s attachment to stable land\, they propose a virtual archeology of landsand artifacts already lost. I argue that artist such as Sansour and Allahyari launch an ethnofuturist aesthetic geared towards a sustained relationship with otherness\, defying temporarily by claiming their politics in the imaginitve space of the future and the speculative space of hope. \nSara Mameni received her PhD in Art History at UC San Diego with dissertation titled “On Persian Blues: Queer Bodies\, Racial Affects.” Her research\, publications and curatorial work have engaged gender\, race and sexuality in art and visual culture in Iran and Arab/Muslim world. \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Fall 2016 Schedule: \nOctober 13th: Sara Mameni\,”Ethnofuturism and the Archeology of the Future”\nNovember 3rd: Redi Koobak\,”Rethinking Gender\, Art & Geopolitics through Post-national War Rhetoric”\nDecember 1st: Cleo Woelfle-Erskine\,”Queer x Trans x Ecology: Toward a Field Science Practice”

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Mikki Stelder
DESCRIPTION:“Homozionism: ‘From the Closet into the Knesset'” \nMy project focuses on the role of sexual politics in Israel’s settler colonial occupation of Palestine\, international (queer) complicities\, and anti-colonial queer resistance. For this presentation I look forward to discuss the first chapter of my dissertation that charts the globally celebrated genealogy of Israel’s gay movement from “the closet into the Knesset” (Kama 2011). I argue that this move enabled what Palestinian queer activist call Israel’s pinkwashing campaign to emerge. Pinkwashing describes a government sponsored branding campaign that seeks to present Israel in a positive light because of its gay rights achievements. Rather than situate pinkwashing as a post-9/11 phenomenon that can fit neatly into narratives of contemporary homonationalism\, Islamphobia and anti-Arab racism in the Global North\, I turn to this genealogy as one that I call homozionism. \n\nFriday Forum Fall 2016 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Questions That Matter: "Anger in Politics: From the Bard to the Donald"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Institute for Humanities Research and Shakespeare Workshop\nWhat place does anger have in public life? Should we welcome the expression of anger in our elections and political deliberations\, or does the common good depend on the existence of political institutions and processes from which anger and other strong emotions are excluded? Has the failure of those institutions and processes prompted much of the acrimony\, hostility\, and rage that we have witnessed (or felt)? What does the theater understand about such questions that politics does not understand? On the eve of an historic election\, join UC Santa Cruz faculty and the Institute for Humanities Research for a conversation about anger and politics\, from Shakespeare to Donald Trump. Presented in partnership with Shakespeare Workshop. \n  \nQuestions That Matter: “Anger in Politics: From the Bard to the Donald” from IHR on Vimeo. \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Crystal Birns\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nTICKETS\n \nQuestions That Matter: A Series of Public Dialogues in Santa Cruz\nThis series brings together UC Santa Cruz scholars with community members to explore questions that matter to all of us.

SUMMARY:Geraldine Brooks: "The Secret Chord"
DESCRIPTION:Now out in paperback from Pulitzer Prize winning\, bestselling author Geraldine Brooks\, The Secret Chord traces the arc of King David’s journey from obscurity to fame\, from shepherd to soldier\, from hero to traitor\, from beloved king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and diminished dotage. The Secret Chord has received critical acclaim; The Chicago Tribune wrote\, “Deeply sympathetic. Brooks offers new perspectives on a character whose story has captured the Western imagination for millennial… she breaks from the biblical version by giving voice to the voiceless women in David’s life: wives and lovers\, a daughter\, a mother—the beloved and the scorned.” The Guardian called it “A compelling read\, contemporary in its relevance… powerful storytelling\, its landscape and time evoked in lyrical prose.” And NPR raves: “The best historical fiction… Brooks gives the whole king his due… It’s a tall order to breathe life into such a human being\, and she manages it admirably.” \nGeraldine Brooks is the author of four novels\, the Pulitzer Prize winning March and the international bestsellers Caleb’s Crossing\, People of the Book\, and Year of Wonders. She has also written the acclaimed nonfiction works Nine Parts of Desire and Foreign Correspondence. Born and raised in Australia\, she lives on Martha’s Vineyard with her husband\, the author Tony Horwitz. \nSponsored by BookShop Santa Cruz\, Institute of Humanities Research\, and Co-sponsored by Temple Bethe El.

SUMMARY:David Landy: "Explanation and Personal Identity in the Appendix to Hume's Treatise"
DESCRIPTION:In the Appendix to his Treatise\, Hume famously expresses a deep dissatisfaction with the account of personal identity that he had earlier presented\, but offers only the briefest description of what his concern is. Scholars working on this problem have presented a wide variety of suggestions of what Hume might be thinking. I will argue that such scholars have largely overlooked an important clue: the fact that Hume twice presents the problem as one with any theory that purports\, “to explain the principles\, that unite our successive perceptions in our thought or consciousness.” The key here\, I will suggest\, lies in understanding Hume’s notion of explanation. The two most prominent accounts of Hume on explanation lie at the extreme ends of an interpretive spectrum\, and are both philosophically and exegetically untenable. The first is that scientific explanation aims at nothing more than subsuming particular observations under inductively-established universal generalizations. The second is that Hume makes explanatory appeals to certain substances and causal powers that we cannot in any way represent\, but to which we can nonetheless refer. The first gets right Hume’s insistence on the connection of explanation to experience. The second gets right that it is the universal regularities of experience that stand in need of explanation\, not that do the explaining. So\, I will present a new account of Hume’s understanding of explanation that takes these successes and failures into account\, and will show that this interpretation perfectly predicts everything that Hume finds wrong with his account of personal identity. \nDavid Landy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at San Francisco State University. He works primariy on the history of Modern philosophy\, especially Hume and Kant\, and also has interests in German Idealism and the work of Wilfrid Sellars.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Alfredo Vea
DESCRIPTION:Alfredo Vea \nAlfredo Véa was born in the desert outside of Phoenix\, but not in America. His grandfather was a Yaqui Indian\, his grandmother was a Spanish-Mexican curandera who had played piano in silent movie theaters. Their grass covered adobe house stood at the epicenter of hundreds of tarpaper shacks built by Okies and Arkies. There were Apaches\, Tarahumara\, Navajo\, Hindus and black folk everywhere\, waiting for trucks to take them to the cotton fields. While his mother barely endured life in this impoverished Babel\, her son lived in a wonderland. He luxuriated in the sound of Uto-aztecan\, Athabascan\, Dravidian and drawl—and the sounds of bible thumping and jive. After ten years or so he was dragged away to work on the migratory labor circuit in California\, the land of stucco houses and aluminum window frames. All of it was drudgery until he began working in vineyards. Then he was ripped away from the vines to become a soldier\, enslaved in Vietnam. Today\, he is an attorney in San Francisco. If you ask him who he is he will never say “lawyer” or “writer.”  Touch him and you will find that his skin is adobe. In his dreams\, there are goats scuffling about on the roof and he and his grandfather are asleep on a cot under the stars. \nLiving Writers is a series of events that are free to students and the public\, and happens every Thursday night from 6-7:45pm in the Humanities Lecture Hall\, room 206. This series will be focusing on fiction writers as well as filmmakers. It’s going to be an exciting series and we hope to see you there!  For more details\, please email us at cwintern@gmail.com \nLiving Writers Fall Schedule 2016 \n9/22 No reading \n9/29 Chanan Tigay \n10/6 Jennifer Chang \n10/13 Michelle Tea \n10/20 Alfredo Vea \n10/27 Elizabeth Willis \n11/3 No reading \n11/10 Peter Orner \n11/17 No reading \n11/24—Thanksgiving \n12/1 Student Reading \nReadings sponsored by The Humanities Division\, The Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, The Literature Department and Poets and Writers Inc.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Kali Rubaii
DESCRIPTION:“Enemy Inside Out: Birth Defects in Fallujah” \nHotly debated and widely misunderstood is the epidemic of birth defects in Fallujah\, Iraq. While the possibility of knowing the exact cause of this epidemic is diluted by ongoing war\, layers of chemical toxicity\, and mass displacement/destruction of doctors\, patients\, and medical facilities; the surrounding enviro-medical discourse is informative. It indexes a broader debate about the politics of scientific research: guilt\, responsibility\, and the question of reparations to the Iraq people in the ongoing “aftermath” of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq are all at intimate play in the epidemiological research. This paper explores the story of a scientific debate\, tracing not only the trajectories of toxicity that arrived in Anbar since 2003\, but also the trajectories of political interest surrounding major epidemiological studies conducted on the subsequent “sea of birth defects” in Fallujah. \n\nFriday Forum Fall 2016 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels" (Non-citizenship series)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present an event in the series on Non-citizenship\nHistorians and filmmakers Philip Misevich and Konrad Tuchscherer of St. John’s University join UC Santa Cruz’s David Anthony and Greg O’Malley in a conversation about forced migration at this free\, public screening of “Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels\,” 2016 winner of the American Historical Association’s John E. O’Connor Film Award. \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Allison Garcia\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nAbout the Film\nGhost of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels by Tony Buba is based on Marcus Rediker’s The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom (Viking-Penguin\, 2012). It chronicles a trip to Sierra Leone in 2013 to visit the home villages of the people who seized the slave schooner Amistad in 1839\, to interview elders about local memory of the case\, and to search for the long-lost ruins of Lomboko\, the slave trading factory where their cruel transatlantic voyage began. The film uses the knowledge of villagers\, fishermen\, and truck drivers to recover a lost history from below in the struggle against slavery. \n“This film is an ambitious and imaginative attempt to explore the impact of the Amistad Mutiny and the repatriation of the brave Africans to their homes in Sierra Leone. It is of great interest to any student of slavery and the slave trade.” – Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, Harvard University \nLocation:\nDel Mar Theatre\, 1124 Pacific Avenue\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nEvent details:\nFilm at 7:00pm\nQ&A Discussion at 8:00pm \nGreg O’Malley\, Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Cruz\, moderates the Q&A with Professors Misevich and Tuchscherer immediately following the screening.

Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture. Linking citizenship\, migration\, border\, labor\, and carceral studies\, and juxtaposing spatial and social mobility and immobility\, this year-long series of events explores what it means to be a citizen and non-citizen in a world made by migrants\, refugees\, guest workers\, permanent residents\, asylum seekers\, slaves\, prisoners\, detainees\, the stateless\, and denizens (residents who do not hold the same rights as citizens). Non-citizenship is organized around three themes: “Forced Migration” (fall 2016)\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity” (winter 2017)\, and “Fluidity of Status: Migrants\, Citizens\, Denizens” (spring 2017).

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Mitchell Winter
DESCRIPTION:“Polemics of Disintegration: Advaita Metaphysics in the Works of Alejandro Jodorowsky” \nThe Chilean artist Alejandro Jodorowsky (b. 1929) often engages with non-linearity and non-sense as narrative devices in his work. Throughout his career Jodorowsky’s thematic repertoire has adopted elements of the Kabbalistic science of the Marseille tarot\, European alchemy\, and New Age formulations of Hindu and Zen Buddhist thought. I attempt to trave the genealogical articulation of Jodorowsky’s brand of filmmaking and artistic practice by working through his depiction of Hindu\, specifically Advaita (non-dualist)\, philosophy in two films\, The Holy Mountain (1973) and The Dance of Reality (2013). Far from appealing to an Orientalist aesthetic\, Jodorowsky incorporates Advaita conceptions of indeterminacy which “uses this disintegration {of meaning} and constructs order out of it. \n\nFriday Forum Fall 2016 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\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. \nOctober 14th- Mikki Stelder\, Feminist Studies and History of Consciousness\nOctober 21st- Kali Rubaii\, Anthropology\nOctober 28th- Mitchell Winter\, HAVC\nNovember 4th- Hahkyung Darline Kim\, Film and Digital Media\nNovember 18th- Sophi Pappenheim\, Literature\nDecember 2nd- Nicole Vandermeer\, History
