SUMMARY:Anna Tsing & Isabelle Carbonell: “‘Golden Snail Opera’: The More-than-human Performance of Friendly Farming on Taiwan’s Lanyang Plain”
DESCRIPTION:Written by Anna Tsing\, Isabelle Carbonell\, Joelle Chevrier and Yen-ling Tsai (Associate Professor of Anthropology at National Chaio Tung University Taiwan)\, Golden Snail Opera combines video and performance-oriented text into a genre-bending o-pei-la. This piece is a multispecies enactment of experimental natural history considering the “golden treasure snail\,” imported to Taiwan in 1979\, which is now major pest of rice agriculture. Whereas farmers in the Green Revolution’s legacy use poison to exterminate snails\, a new generation of “friendly farmers” attempts to insert farming as one among many multispecies life ways within the paddy. \nAnna Tsing is Professor of Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz and Co-Director of Aarhus University Research on the Anthropocene (AURA). \nIsabelle Carbonell is a PhD student in Film and Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz and a documentary filmmaker. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies will continue to host 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 \nNovember 2 Anna Tsing / Isbelle Carbonell \nNovember 9 Joan Wallach Scott \nNovember 16 Robin Hunicke

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Redi Koobak
DESCRIPTION:“Rethinking Gender\, Art & Geopolitic through Post-national War Rhetoric”\nRedi Koobak\, Assitant Professor\, Linkoping University\, Sweden \nAfter its 50-year occupation by the Soviets\, current political disclosure in Estonia revolves around the importance of proving that despite being small\, Estonia is courages and highly reliable NATO ally to defend against the historically perceived threat from Russia. For example\, Estonia’s participation in Afghanistan missions was presented as self-evident and largely unquestioned both in parliament and in the media. In this context\, it is difficult to find counter-narratives to war in public discourse\, with implications for understandings of gender\, geopolitics\, and nationalism. In search of voices that question the general consensus about Estonia’s participation in NATO missions\, I zoom in on the artworks of Estonian artist Maarit Murka who was invited to visit Estonian troops in Afghanistan on the commission of the Estonian Military Museum. Pondering upon three exhibitions she made as a result of her trip\, I explore how artistic interventions might denaturalize gendered and nationalized notions of violence and justifications for war. \nRedi Koobak is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Thematic Studies- Gender Studies at Linking University\, Sweden\, where she also defended her dissertation\, Whirling Stories: Postsocialist Feminist Imaginaries and the Visual Arts (Linking University Press\, 2013). She is a visiting scholar and lecturer in the Feminist Studies Department at UC Santa Cruz during Fall 2016. \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:Morton Marcus Poetry Reading with Joseph Stroud
DESCRIPTION:Morton Marcus Poetry Reading with Joseph Stroud\nThursday\, November 3\, 2016\n6:00 pm\nCabrillo College\, Room 450 (Forum) \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Lorraine Padgett\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nFirst Song\nThat long ago morning at Ruth’s farm when I hid in the wisteria and watched hummingbirds. I thought the ruby or gold that gleamed on their throats was the honeyed blood of flowers. They would stick their piercing beaks into a crown of petals until their heads disappeared. The blossoms blurred into wings\, and the breathing I heard was the thin\, moving stems of wisteria. That night\, my face pressed against the window\, I looked out into the dark where the moon drowned in the willows by the pond. My heart\, bloodstone\, turned. That long night\, the farm\, those jeweled birds\, all these gone years. The horses standing quiet and huge in the moon crossing blackness. \nJoseph Stroud is the author of five books of poetry: In the Sleep of Rivers\, Signatures\, Below Cold Mountain\, Country of Light\, and the most recent\, Of This World\, New & Selected Poems\, which was selected by the San Francisco Poetry Center as the outstanding book by an American poet for the year 2010. It was also short-listed for the PEN Literary Award USA and the Commonwealth California Book of the Year. His work has earned a Pushcart Prize\, has been featured on American Public Media’s “The Writer’s Almanac\,” and he has appeared as a guest poet on “A Prairie Home Companion.” His awards include the Witter Bynner Fellowship in Poetry from the Library of Congress\, the Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and the prestigious Lannan Lifetime Achievement Award. \nFree admission\nFree Parking in lots E\, F\, G\, and H.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Hahkyung Darline Kim
DESCRIPTION:“Historicizing Interviews: A Mode of (Re)living and (Re)writing Memories of the Korean War through Documentary”  \nHow can we write a history of the officially unsaid and the unsayable? My talk focuses on the case of the Korean War whose language of antagonism and ideological conflict remains very much alive in Korean society today. I will present parts of MemoRandom\, my most recent documentary project based on inconsistent accounts of events during the war involving an alleged communist family\, and examine the potential to simulate the perception/ production of historical knowledge through artful mediations of interviews. The project explores the allegorical dimension of interviews- ‘indicated’ stories of/by the individual-as a historiographical tool in documentary. \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

SUMMARY:Marc Matera: "The Global 1930s: The International Decade"
DESCRIPTION:The 1930s usually conjure up images of Soviet show trials\, jack-booted\, brown-shirted German fascists\, and breadlines and the dustbowl in the United States. The decade is also associated with the failure of internationalism in the face of economic depression and militaristic nationalisms. Certainly these form part of the picture\, but a Europe- and North American-centered view obscures and distorts the broader global context of which they were an integral part. A global perspective on the 1930s not only decenters Europe and the United States but also reveals that\, despite incipient or resurgent expressions of the national principle\, internationalist impulses and transnational connections better characterize the dynamics of the period. \nThis talk comes from the forthcoming book\, The Global 1930s\, which Professor Matera coauthored with Professor Susan Kingsley Kent. The book treats the 1930s as the international decade\, focusing particularly on internationalism—as Western imperialists\, socialists and communists\, and anticolonial activists/intellectuals conceptualized it—to foregrounds the role that imperialism played in fostering global relations at the same time that it destabilized the European world order. Transcolonial connections and anticolonial internationalisms motivated\, kindled\, and inspired developments that set the stage for decolonization and movements for international standards for human and civil rights that are usually associated with the decades following the Second World War. Postwar conceptions of development\, citizenship\, and sovereignty\, however attenuated\, emerged through and in response to the struggles of colonized and semicolonial populations across the global South and in imperial metropoles during the 1930s. \nOrganized by the IHR Research Center for World History.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Sophie PappenheimBlack
DESCRIPTION:“Black Storm Clouds and a Queer Yellow Light: Reading the Affective Edges of Symbolism in Maru” \nMy project is to read postcolonial novels that have typically been analyzed as representations of postcolonial politics and instead attend to the nonrepresentational aspects of their language: namely\, their affect and literariness. In this talk I focus on Bessie Head’s novella Maru (1971)\, which itself is concerned with identity\, racial prejudice\, and tribal politics\, as well as representation as mode of signification and figuration\, and which has often been read as an allegorical romance. I argue that reading the effect of the novel’s language against its symbolism troubles this allegory and thus appeals for a new mode of politics. \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:The Devil's Wheels: Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic
DESCRIPTION:“The Devil’s Wheels Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic” by Sasha Disko \nDuring the high days of modernization fever\, among the many disorienting changes Germans experienced in the Weimar Republic was an unprecedented mingling of consumption and identity: increasingly\, what one bought signaled who one was. Exemplary of this volatile dynamic was the era’s burgeoning motorcycle culture. With automobiles largely a luxury of the upper classes\, motorcycles complexly symbolized masculinity and freedom\, embodying a widespread desire to embrace progress as well as profound anxieties over the course of social transformation. Through its richly textured account of the motorcycle as both icon and commodity\, The Devil’s Wheels teases out the intricacies of gender and class in the Weimar years. \n\nSasha Disko is a historian and independent scholar. She is an alumnus of UCSC (BA in History and German Studies\, 1997) and received her PhD in History from New York University. She has been living and working in Germany since 2008. Her research interests include the history of motorization\, industrialization\, business administration\, and leisure. She currently lives in Hamburg\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Jordi Aladro "Maria Magdalena: de la santa a la prostituta"
DESCRIPTION:Desde su primera representación en el año 230 en Europos hasta Joaquin Sabina\, pasando por Dan Brown y Martin Scorsese\, la santa de Magdala ha sido la mujer sin rostro: invención de teólogos\, fantasía de misóginos\, amor y temblor de poetas. Del medioevo al barroco y de ahi a la modernidad\, la cristiandad la ha representado como espejo y reflejo de sus contradicciones. \n  \nJordi Aladro-Font is a professor of Spanish literature in the Literature Department at the University of California Santa Cruz. He is most recently the author of Fray Blas y Verdú\, San Raimundo de Peñafort y La Conversión de Santa María Magdalena (2012) and Pedro de Chaves\, Libro de la Conversión de Santa María Magdalena (2009). \n  \n*This talk will be in Spanish.
