SUMMARY:Intimate States: Family\, Domestic Space\, and the State
DESCRIPTION:Center for World History presents: Intimate States: Family\, Domestic Space\, and the State\nFull Conference Agenda here: 4-7-18 Intimate States Conference Agenda \nConference Key Note: “The Household\, the State\, and ‘Economic Development Strategies’ in Europe and China Around 1800.” \nMary Jo Maynes \nThis talk will explore the comparative logics of statebuilding in China and Europe in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries\, focusing in particular the ways in which state policies had implications for the household-economy nexus. Mary Jo will discuss several dimensions of state policy having implications for household structure\, and for gender and generational relations including: fiscal policy (taxation\, subsidy\, etc.); state-run industries; state-produced information and education (technology manuals\, encyclopedias\, schools\, etc.); laws and regulations; and state relations with relevant social groups such as producers and merchants. She hopes to rise comparative questions for discussion about long-term historical developments that connect statebuilding processes with the economic viability of household economies. \nMary Jo Maynes is a Professor of History at the University of Minnesota. She is a historian of Modern Europe with interests in comparative and world history. Her work explores the social and cultural history of the family\, gender and generational relations\, class dynamics\, and personal narratives. Her books include The Family: A World History (Oxford\, 2012)\, co-authored with Ann Waltner; Telling Stories: The Use of Personal Narratives in the Social Sciences and History (Cornell\, 2008)\, co-authored with Jennifer Pierce and Barbara Laslett and Secret Gardens\, Satanic Mills: Placing Girls in European History (Indiana\, 2004)\, co-edited with Birgitte Søland and Christina Benninghaus. She is currently a co-editor of Gender & History and co-organizer of two U of MN research collaboratives: “Narrative/Medicine” at the Institute for Advanced Study and “Subjects\, Objects\, Agents: Young People’s Lives and Livelihoods in the Global South” at the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Social Change.

SUMMARY:Amanda Smith: "Cartographic Delusion: When Maps Lie & People Believe Them"
DESCRIPTION:Amanda M. Smith approaches literary expression as a point of entry into spatialities effaced from other official records. She proposes a reading practice of rigorous intertextuality to recover geographic textures smoothed by homogenizing processes of spatial integration. In this talk\, she addresses the stakes of such a spatial reading by exploring the legacy of misreading in contemporary Amazonia. \nSmith is Assistant Professor of Latin American Literature in the Department of Literature at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She specializes in 20th and 21st-century Latin American literatures and cultures\, working across the fields of Indigenous studies and the spatial humanities\, with emphasis on the Andean and Amazonian regions. Her current project\, tentatively titled Novel Maps\, examines how literature and cartography have both overlapped and clashed in transforming Amazonia into a landscape of extraction. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Gabrielle Hecht - "Residual Governance: Mining Afterlives and Molecular Colonialism in a South African Anthropocene"
DESCRIPTION:“Residual Governance: Mining Afterlives and Molecular Colonialism in a South African Anthropocene” \nThis talk explores residual governance in contemporary South Africa. Since the early 20th century\, piles of mine waste have defined Johannesburg’s topography. Today\, corporations and individuals continually revisit these piles – at very different scales – in the eternal hope of extracting further value. Particles from these mine wastes seep into water supplies\, infiltrating bodies with heavy metals\, solvents\, and radioactive particles. Violence results from entanglements between human\, corporate\, geological\, (post)colonial\, and chemical time. New sacrificial topographies emerge continually\, as the “new South Africa” demands that some people give up immediate personal aspirations for the sake of the collective good\, engaging in its own forced relocations in the name of development\, moving people onto valueless land – excess earth\, contaminated by radioactive debris\, chemicals\, and heavy metals. \n  \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Christopher Breu: "In Defense of Sex"
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Breu: “In Defense of Sex”\nLecture at 10am \nAre sex and gender the same thing? Are trans* and intersex the same thing? Do we even need the category of sex anymore? Is it hopelessly retrograde\, a category that has run its course and has rightly been replaced by the endlessly more flexible category of gender? “In Defense of Sex” will put forward a concept of sex as embodying a different materiality than gender\, one that can form in tension with gendered embodiments and identifications and that asserts its own forms of agency\, resistance\, and refusal. It will do so by drawing on intersex theory\, gender theory\, trans* theory\, and a range of different materialist theories. A robust and nonreductive account of gender\, sexuality\, identification\, and subjectivity needs to retheorize sex. This talk will begin the work of retheorizing sex for the present. \nChristopher Breu is Professor of English at Illinois State University\, where he teaches courses on cultural and critical theory\, American literature 1900 to the present\, American popular culture\, literature and culture in a global context\, gender and sexuality. His publications include Insistence of the Material: Literature in the Age of Biopolitics (Minnesota 2014) and Hard-Boiled Masculinities (Minnesota 2005). He earned his PhD in Literature from UC Santa Cruz in 2000. \nSponsored by the Department of Literature\, Siegfried and Elisabeth Mignon Puknat Endowment.

SUMMARY:Mayanthi Fernando: "SuperNatureCulture: Human/Nonhuman Entanglements Beyond the Secular"
DESCRIPTION:Mayanthi Fernando works on Islam\, secularism\, and the politics of difference in the North Atlantic. Her current project tracks the secular genealogies of the recent posthumanist turn. Reading this scholarship alongside other traditions of nonhuman ontologies\, including Islamic sciences of the unseen\, she asks whether we might rethink “natureculture” as “supernatureculture.” \nMayanthi Fernando is an associate professor of Anthropology at UCSC\, and the director of the Center For Emerging Worlds. Her current project attends to the nexus of sex and religion in the articulation of modern secularity\, analyzing how the secular state’s project of regulating and transforming religious life is interwoven with its project of sexual normalization\, i.e. the production of secular\, sexually “normal” citizens. She is interested in how proper religion and proper sexuality are mutually constituted (often in opposition to each other) by secular rule. \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. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Unintelligible: Noise Against Capture
DESCRIPTION:Graduate student conference exploring the potentials of a critical sound studies. \nThis conference seeks to cultivate an interdisciplinary understanding of the field of Sound Studies by taking up the ubiquitous sonic trope of noise\, considering its counter-productive character and how it can be a tactic for critique against the capture of individuals and communities of resistance. We will look at how “Others” are produced by noise\, asking: can we understand these subjects that destabilize normativity to be a kind of noise? Can noise understood as negation (“disruptive\,” “illegible\,” “unintelligible”) still be productive and resistant? How do we slow the impulse to turn noise into a metaphor and highlight its material role in neighborhoods\, institutions\, and culture? \n  \nKeynote (Arpil 20): Jeramy DeCristo\, UC Davis\nJeramy DeCristo is Assistant Professor in American Studies at UC Davis. Their work focuses on the interplay between sound\, race\, gender\, and embodiment\, as well as the ways in which sound and race are continually bound together through forms of mediation. In their most current book project\, Blackness and the Writing of Sound in Modernity\, Jeramy tracks and imagines a legacy of black sonic experimentation\, in artists ranging from Bessie Smith to Roscoe Mitchell\, that emerges out of black music’s refusal and dissemblance of technological modernity’s legacies of embodiment and capture. Their talk is entitled\, “Sounds Like Us”.\n\nPanels and presentations:\n\nApril 20\, 2018 in Humanities 1\, Room 210\nApril 21\, 2018 in the Humanities Lecture Hall \n\nAdditional Events:\n\nApril 20th: Evening concert co-presented by Indexical at Idea Fab Labs Santa Cruz; featuring Happy Valley Band\, Zachary James Watkins\, and Blectum from Blechdom. \nApril 21st: Continental breakfast at the UCSC Arboretum\, and tour of FOREST (for a thousand years)\, co-presented by Institute of the Arts & Sciences.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Pronouns in Competition Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Pronouns in Competition \nLong distance dependencies involving pronouns have figured prominently both in theories of competence and in theories of performance. Bringing these diverse lines of inquiry closer together is a challenging\, yet fundamental\, goal for linguistic theory. In this workshop we propose to study the role(s) that competition and optimality may play in these domains. \nThe idea that the distribution of pronouns\, even some aspects of their interpretation\, may be governed by competition with a more optimal alternative\, is not new. However\, so far relatively little progress has been made towards a general theory of pronominal competitions and especially on the question of how the candidate set for comparison is determined. We propose to broaden the empirical domain of inquiry by considering pronominal competitions of various kinds\, and across languages: between pronouns and anaphors\, pronouns and gaps in A-bar dependencies\, pronouns and demonstratives\, overt vs. null pronouns\, pronouns and definite descriptions (in ‘Condition C’ effects) and so on. \nThe idea that competition plays a role in sentence processing has long been recognized and it is inherent in computational models of constraint satisfaction as well as in theories of encoding and retrieval from working memory. In the past decade especially\, the empirical breadth of sentence processing research on pronouns has increased dramatically. And interestingly there are many recent experiments on bound pronouns (primarily reflexives\, but also resumptives) that give evidence that initial interpretive processes can be selective and non-competitive. So an important goal of the workshop will be to consider whether or how notions of competition that can explain distributional facts about pronouns are related to mechanisms of sentence production and comprehension. We also hope that discussions which take place might guide future explorations of the territory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJim McCloskey\, Ivy Sichel & Matt Wagers
