SUMMARY:Kimberlé Crenshaw: 34th Annual Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Convocation
DESCRIPTION:The annual convocation celebrates the life and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by presenting speakers who discuss the civil rights issues of equality\, freedom\, justice\, and opportunity. The convocation also seeks to build partnerships and develop dialogue within the campus community and with the local communities served by the university. \nSpeaker: Kimberlé Crenshaw\nProfessor of law at UCLA and Columbia Law School\, leading authority on civil rights\, black feminist legal theory\, and race\, racism\, and the law.\n \nHarriet’s Legacy: Navigating Intersectionality in the Age of Trump \nPositioned at the crossroads of race and gender\, women and girls of color face unique barriers under the burdens of both sexism and racism. This is especially true in the wake of the 2016 election\, as discrimination\, racialized hate speech and gendered violence have been normalized and\, seemingly encouraged\, by the White House. As we enter the 2nd year under the current administration\, we must reflect back not only on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, but of the Black women who\, although often misremembered or outright forgotten\, fought for civil rights and equality throughout history. In this lecture\, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw will utilize a historical analysis with an intersectional lens to expose the impact of institutional oppression within marginalized communities’ configured networks between identities\, i.e. race\, gender\, and socioeconomic status\, a reflect on the contemporary legacy of social justice and the continued struggle for equality in the United States. \nRead More

SUMMARY:Neel Ahuja: "Reversible Human: Rectal Feeding\, Gut Plasticity\, and Racial Control in US Carceral Warfare"
DESCRIPTION:Neel Ahuja’s research explores the relationship of the body to forms of imperial warfare and security. Focusing on the association of rectal feeding\, used as a form of medical rape in CIA prisons\, and bodily plasticity\, the presentation argues that the terrorist body is not only a useful discursive figure in the current wars\, but also an experimental material that can be used to modulate time\, sensation\, and resistance toward forms of racial control. \nNeel Ahuja teaches in the interdisciplinary humanities programs at UC Santa Cruz. \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors.

SUMMARY:Daniel Lee: "A Sleepy English Village and a North African Jew: An Unlikely Story of French Resistance during World War Two"
DESCRIPTION:The story of the Free French who rallied to Charles de Gaulle in London following the fall of France in June 1940 is well-known. But until now\, historians have ignored the experiences of men and women from France and the French Empire who were not sympathetic to De Gaulle and the Free French\, but who nonetheless fought in Britain for the allied cause. In the same vein\, existing scholarship has not explored how North African Jews\, persecuted by Vichy antisemitic laws\, sought to re-integrate into the new structures that emerged following the allied liberation of North Africa in November 1942. This talk will re-examine these dual phenomena through the unlikely lens of the village of Elvington in Yorkshire and the diary of a North African Jewish airman stationed there\, whose story reveals a new Sephardi perspective on World War Two. \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nDaniel Lee is a Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Sheffield. Before joining Sheffield in 2015\, Lee was a British Academy postdoctoral fellow at Brasenose College\, Oxford. His first book\, Pétain’s Jewish Children: French Jewish Youth and the Vichy Regime\, 1940–1942 was published with Oxford University Press in 2014. He has held fellowships at the Institute of Historical Research\, the European University Institute\, Yad Vashem and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. As a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Thinker\, Lee is a regular broadcaster on radio.

SUMMARY:Adam Ussishkin: "Roots\, or consonants? On the early role of morphology in lexical access"
DESCRIPTION:Words consist of a phoneme or letter sequence that maps onto meaning. Most prominent theories of both auditory and visual word recognition portray the recognition process as a connection between these units and a semantic level. However\, there is a growing body of evidence in the priming literature suggesting that there is an additional\, morphological level that mediates the recognition process. In morphologically linear languages like English\, however\, morphemes and letter or sound sequences are co-extensive\, so the source of priming effects between related words could be due to simple phonological overlap as opposed to morphological overlap. In Semitic languages\, though\, the morphological structure of words reduces this confound\, since morphemes are interdigitated in a non-linear fashion. Semitic words are typically composed of a discontiguous root (made up of three consonants) embedded in a word pattern specifying the vowels and the ordering between consonants and vowels. Active-passive pairs in Maltese illustrate this relationship (the root is underlined); e.g.\, fetaħ ‘open’-miftuħ ‘opened’. In this talk\, I report on a series of experiments on the Semitic language Maltese investigating the extent to which root morphemes facilitate visual and auditory word recognition\, and to what extent potential priming effects are independent of the phonological overlap typically inherent in morphological relationships. These experiments make use of the visual masked (Forster and Davis\, 1984) and auditory masked (Kouider and Dupoux\, 2005) priming techniques. The results of the experiments show that not only do roots facilitate visual and auditory word recognition in Maltese\, but that these morphological effects are independent of phonological overlap effects. \nAdam Ussishkin is associate professor in the Department of Linguistics\, with appointments in the UA Cognitive Science program\, the UA Second Language Acquisition and Teaching program\, the Department of Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, The Arizona Center for Judaic Studies\, and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. His research focuses on the lexicon\, and is informed by psycholinguistic experimentation\, as well as formal and laboratory phonology and morphology. Much of the research he conducts centers on Semitic languages\, especially Maltese and Modern Hebrew. He also works on corpus creation and evaluation.

SUMMARY:Dr. Angus Forbes: "Immersive Interpretation - Exploring Data in Virtual Reality"
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nImmersive Interpretation: Exploring Data in Virtual Reality\nAngus Forbes (UCSC\, Computational Media) \nForbes will discuss the opportunities for exploring and analyzing data using contemporary display technologies\, such as interactive video walls\, ambisonic theaters\, and virtual reality headsets. I present a range of projects that examine novel ways of representing scientific and cultural datasets\, including an interactive art installation that explores connections between photographic images and literary themes in the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ One Hundred Years of Solitude\, dynamic visualizations of the human brain connectome and protein interaction networks\, and an outdoor museum exhibition that superimposes historical photographs onto relevant architectural features. By taking advantage of the new forms of representation and interaction that these technologies make possible\, we can provide useful interpretations of and new perspectives into the complex systems that that govern\, or perhaps define\, contemporary life. \n  \nDr. Angus Forbes is an assistant professor in the Computational Media department at University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he directs the UCSC Creative Coding lab. His research investigates new forms of visualizing and interacting with complex scientific information; his computational artwork has been featured at museums\, galleries\, and festivals throughout the world.

SUMMARY:Jodi Byrd: "Fire & Flood - Settler Colonialisms & Pessimistic Indigenous Futurisms"
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nThe Feminist Studies Department and CRES are pleased to partner with The Center for Cultural Studies to present this CULT Colloquium Series talk:\n“Fire & Flood: Settler Colonialisms & Pessimistic Indigenous Futurisms” \nCaught within the both/and of dystopic collapse\, colonial fantasies of American futurities often reproduce themselves through nineteenth-century signs of the struggle for colonial dominance. This talk closely reads HBO’s Westworld alongside LeAnne Howe’s Indian Radio Days to consider how procedural elements of technological play produce dystopic visions of American collapse as the failure of indigenous futures. \n  \nJodi Byrd is Associate Professor\, English and Gender & Women’s Studies University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prof. Byrd is a Chickasaw decolonial thinker\, writer\, teacher\, and video gamer. She is a faculty affiliate of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Io sono Li (Shun Li & the Poet)
DESCRIPTION:Crossings Film Series \nOver 2017-18\, the CLRC and the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics is proud to present “Crossings\,” a quarterly film series about migration and the Mediterranean. We open with the 2014 documentary\, “Io sto con la sposa\,” winner of the Human Rights Nights Award at the Venice International Film Festival. All films are subtitled and screenings are free and open to the public. \nIo sono Li (Shun Li & the Poet\, 2013) \nTwo outsiders become unlikely friends in this drama from filmmaker Andrea Segre. Shun Li (Zhao Tao) is a thirtysomething single mother from China who has come to Italy in the hope of providing a better life for herself and her son. However\, Shun Li has partnered with an unscrupulous employment agency that shifts her from job to job and makes it difficult for her to pay her fees so she can make enough money to bring her son to Italy. She works as a barmaid in a shabby waterfront tavern in the fishing village of Chioggia; there\, she meets Bepi (Rade Serbedzija)\, an exile from Eastern Europe who has a fondness for poetry and pens doggerel verse himself. Shun Li shares with Bepi stories of Qu Yuan\, China’s most celebrated poet\, and the two strike up a friendship that has the potential to become something more. However\, the Chioggia natives make it clear that they don’t approve of Shun Li and Bepi’s budding relationship\, especially given their suspicions about her Chinese heritage. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics

SUMMARY:Sora Y. Han: "Poetics of MU"
DESCRIPTION:The daughter appears in Hortense Spillers’s literary criticism as an oblique subject of both the Oedipal “law of the Father” and the slave law of partus sequitur ventrem. With this figure\, this talk presents the broader question of how a law of reproduction without genealogy raises the stakes of theorizing race\, colonialism\, and the limits of translation. Slave law\, Oedipus\, kinship\, and language as forms of law contain two essential a-genealogical characteristics. The first concerns the perverse logics of law\, and the fact that submission to or refusal of law offers no protection against its violence and judgment; and the second\, where genealogy can neither be named nor established\, what issues forth can only\, in the present circumstances\, be described as an obscene obliteration of law’s reference. This peculiar co-presence of law and non-referentiality\, differentially explored by Edouard Glissant\, David Marriott\, Nathaniel Mackey\, Fred Moten\, and Theresa Had Kyung Cha\, can only be grasped by a transversal writing\, the “poetics of mu\,” not simply at the limits of translation\, but also\, transliteration and utterance. \n  \nSora Han is Associate Professor of Criminology\, Law and and the School of Law at UC Irvine. She also is core faculty of the Culture and Theory Ph.D. program\, and affiliate faculty of African American Studies. Professor Han is the author of Letters of the Law (Stanford University Press 2015) and she has two books in-progress: Slavery as Contract: A Study in the Case of Blackness\, which brings together poetics\, contract law and afro-pessimist theory to think beyond the property metaphor of slavery; and Mu\, the First Letter of an Anti-Colonial Alphabet\, an experimental text which offers a speculative meditation on the “anagrammatic scramble” (Nathaniel Mackey) of the unconscious materiality of abolitionism. Her most recent publication on this new line of research\, “Slavery as Contract\,” was published by Law and Literature (2016)
