SUMMARY:Gina Dent\, Debbie Gould & Savannah Shange - The Morning After: A (Post)Election Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. presidential election is on Nov 3. We will gather as a community the morning after to process the preceding night (and preceding years) and to think together about the weeks\, months\, and years to come. Gina Dent\, Debbie Gould\, and Savannah Shange will start off the conversation. And if it makes more sense to take to the streets on this Wednesday\, then that’s what we’ll do. \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, November 4th to receive Zoom link and password. \nFrom Fair Fight: for voters who plan to vote by mail\, you should request your ballot now so that you have plenty of time to receive and return it\, by going to www.vote.org. If your state offers ballot tracking\, you will be able to track your application and ballot from vote.org. You can find information on how to return your ballot\, including drop boxes and other methods\, on vote.org. \nIf you plan to vote in person\, Fair Fight strongly recommends that you vote early if your state offers early voting. To make your early vote plan\, visit https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/. If your state does not offer early voting\, visit https://www.vote.org/polling-place-locator/ to find your Election Day polling location. \n\nGina Dent is Associate Professor of Feminist Studies\, History of Consciousness\, and Legal Studies at UC Santa Cruz. She writes and teaches on race\, feminism\, popular culture\, and visual art\, and her current book project — Prison as a Border and Other Essays\, on popular culture and the conditions of knowledge — grows out of her work as an advocate for human rights and prison abolition. \nDebbie Gould is Associate Professor of Sociology at UC Santa Cruz. She is the author of Moving Politics: Emotion and ACT UP’s Fight Against Aids (2009)\, and works on political emotion and affect\, social movements and contentious politics\, and feminist and queer theory. She was involved in ACT UP/Chicago for many years and was a founding member of the research/art/activist collaborative group\, Feel Tank Chicago\, most famous for its International Parades of the Politically Depressed. \nSavannah Shange is an urban anthropologist who works at the intersections of race\, place\, sexuality\, and the state. She is author of Progressive Dystopia: Abolition\, AntiBlackness\, and Schooling in San Francisco (2019) and is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz\, with research interests in circulated and lived forms of blackness\, ethnographic ethics\, Afro-pessimism\, and queer of color critique. \n\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 Humanities Institute. \n*2020-2021 colloquia will be held virtually until further notice.

SUMMARY:Idan Landau: A Selectional Criterion for Adjunct Control
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present Idan Landau\, from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev – Israel\, speaking on A Selectional Criterion for Adjunct Control. \nZoom Information will be emailed on Thursday\, November 12\, 2020 \n\nNonfinite adjuncts display a non-uniform control distribution: While all adjuncts accept control by the local matrix subject (Obligatory Control\, OC)\, only some accept other controllers (non-obligatory control\, NOC). For example\, the rationale clause in (1a) allows NOC by the stimulus clause in (1b) does not. \n1a). Mary has made up her mind. Bill would present the speakers [in order PRO to give him the opportunity to practice their names]. \n1b).Mary giggled. Bill smiled [PRO to see her/him in underwear]. \nThe question which adjuncts fall in which category\, and why\, has rarely been addressed (see Green 2-18\, 2019 for an exception). \nFollowing Landeau 2015\, I propose that control operates via prediction (a property-denoting clause) or logophoric anchoring (a propositional cause). The (possibly null) prepositional head of Strict OC adjuncts (as in (1b)) s-selects a property\, while that of alternating OC/NOC adjuncts (as in (1a)) s-selects either a property or proposition. This selectional distinction is independently detectable by testing whether the adjunct accepts a lexical subject\, providing us with a reliable predictor of its control behavior. In this talk\, I will examine 10 different types of adjuncts in English ad demonstrate how this system derives their control patterns. It is further shown that purely configurational theories\, that posit complementarity between OC and NOC\, are empirically inadequate. Finally\, I address the question of why the predictive variant of nonfinite adjuncts is available by default (within and across languages)\, whereas the propositional variant is not. The explanation hinges on the principle of Economy of Projection\, which favors the smaller\, predictive variant over the propositional one. The dual analysis of adjunct control offers insights into puzzling language-internal facts as well as typological generalizations\, so far unrelated in the theory of control. \nOrganized by the Department of Linguistics

SUMMARY:Moor Mother + Rasheedah Phillips: Black Quantum Futurism
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition is Moor Mother—a Philadelphia artist praised as part of “a new generation of visionary black storytellers” (The New York Times—premieres a new video followed by a discussion of Black Quantum Futurism theory and practice with her collaborator Rasheedah Phillips. Weaving through haunting slave narratives as dystopian allegory\, negro spirituals\, and Black ritual\, Moor Mother’s work points to a liberated future through Black Quantum Futurism\, a project in partnership with author Rasheedah Phillips. Through a time of ecological and social disaster\, she says\, “I’m not saying\, this is the end\, we’re all doomed\,” but rather that “I believe there is another way. So it’s about trying to get the audience to understand another way of digesting the truth.” \n \nThe events are co-organized with T.J. Demos of the Center for Creative Ecologies at UC Santa Cruz as part of the UCSC Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar’s Beyond the End of the World research project\, Indexical\, and the Institute of the Arts and Sciences with the collaboration of The Humanities Institute and Kuumbwa Jazz Center. \nCamae Ayewa (Moor Mother) is a nationally- and internationally-touring musician\, poet\, visual artist\, and workshop facilitator\, and has performed at numerous festivals\, colleges\, galleries\, and museums around the world\, sharing the stage with King Britt\, Roscoe Mitchell\, Claudia Rankine\, bell hooks\, and more. Her most recent album\, Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes\, is the culmination of all of her earthly experiences merged with all of her cosmic ones. On Analog Fluids\, haunting slave narratives are presented as dystopian allegory and negro spirituals are flipped\, remixed\, and recaptured\, only to be digitized into a symbiotic bio-morph program for the post-thumb drive age. It’s a record rich with the noise and chaos that affirm Moor Mother’s punk roots\, yet it is also anchored in earthiness via the constant injection of Black ritual\, poetry\, and drums programmed to vibrate through the listener’s mitochondria. \nBlack Quantum Futurism Collective is a multidisciplinary collaboration between Camae Ayewa (Rockers!; Moor Mother) and Rasheedah Phillips (The AfroFuturist Affair; Metropolarity) exploring the intersections of futurism\, creative media\, DIY-aesthetics\, and activism in marginalized communities through an alternative temporal lens. BQF Collective has created a number of community-based events\, experimental music projects\, performances\, exhibitions\, zines\, and anthologies of experimental essays on space-time consciousness. BQF Collective is a 2016 A Blade of Grass Fellow\, 2015 artist-in-residence at West Philadelphia Neighborhood Time Exchange\, and had their experimental short\, Black Bodies as Conductors of Gravity\, premiere at the 2015 Afrofuturism Now! Festival in Rotterdam. BQF Collective frequently collaborates with other Black Futurists\, Joy KMT\, Irreversible Entanglements\, Thomas Stanley\, Ras Mashramani\, Alex Smith to produce literature\, present workshops\, lectures\, and performances.

SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition: Visuality and Carceral Formations - Nicole Fleetwood\, Herman Gray\, and Nicholas Mirzoeff
DESCRIPTION:The third event in the Visualizing Abolition series brings together visual and cultural theorists Nicole Fleetwood\, Herman Gray\, and Nicholas Mirzoeff to consider the roles of visual culture in normalizing mass incarceration and the racist brutalities of policing within the social landscape and political vision of America. Questions of visuality and formations moves beyond critiques of film\, television\, advertisements\, and other media to ask how dominant visions of the world—and the visual regimes that regulate what people see and what remains hidden from view—are materialized in the prison industrial complex. \n \nThis event is part of The Humanities Institute’s yearlong series on Memory. \nFor the 2020/21 academic year\, UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, in collaboration with Professor Dent\, feminist studies\, has organized a year-long series of online events featuring artists\, activists\, scholars\, and others united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. \nThe events of Visualizing Abolition accompany Barring Freedom\, a bi-coastal exhibition of art featuring Sonya Clark\, American Artist\, Dread Scott\, Deana Lawson\, Chandra McCormick and Keith Calhoun\, Sharon Daniel\, Sanford Biggers\, and other artists whose practices creatively confront the failure of many to see the racist biases within the criminal justice system or to comprehend the economic and social problems that the system serves to obscure. Barring Freedom will be on view at San José Museum of Art late October 2020-March 21\, 2021. \nVisualizing Abolition is organized by UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences in collaboration with San José Museum of Art and Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery. The series has been generously funded by the Nion McEvoy Family Trust\, Ford Foundation\, Future Justice Fund\, Wanda Kownacki\, Peter Coha\, James L. Gunderson\, Rowland and Pat Rebele\, Porter College\, UCSC Foundation\, and annual donors to the Institute of the Arts and Sciences. \nPartners include: Howard University School of Law\, McEvoy Foundation for the Arts\, Jessica Silverman Gallery\, Indexical\, The Humanities Institute\, University Library\, University Relations\, Institute for Social Transformation\, Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery\, Porter College\, the Center for Cultural Studies\, the Center for Creative Ecologies\, and Media and Society\, Kresge College.

SUMMARY:Beyond the End of the World: Manifesta 13 Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:War ecologies call forth not just mutuality but collapse\, survival within violence. Conflict involves corporate extraction and militarised assaults on environments and environmentalists\, while multispecies life and coexistence fall under grave threat. In its curatorial presentation\, the Center for Creative Ecologies offers two artistic case studies asking what kind of pluriverse is possible in the face of different kinds of socioecological violence? The first study addresses the criminalisation of nonhuman life in Putumayo\, southern Colombia by Hannah Meszaros Martin; the other considers sci-fi surrealism and extinction in Mar Menor\, a saltwater lagoon in southeastern Spain\, by Isabelle Carbonell. These comprise part of the Center’s ongoing research project Beyond the End of the World\, which seeks out spaces of hope emerging from geographies of despair. War ecologies identify not only neoliberal enterprises using climate breakdown to introduce authoritarian politics\, but also struggles – human and more-than-human – for ways to transcend the forces of socio-economic inequality and politico-environmental calamity. \nPlease join us for a panel discussion and Q&A with the Center for Creative Ecologies artist and curatorial team Isabelle Carbonell\, Hannah Meszaros Martin\, and T.J. Demos. The team will be discussing their latest exhibition at Manifesta 13 Marseille the European Nomadic Biennial. \n \nHannah Meszaros Martin is an artist\, writer\, and recent PhD graduate of the Centre for Research Architecture\, Goldsmiths\, University of London. She is a researcher in Forensic Architecture\, a European Research Council funded project\, which she has been a member of since 2012. With Forensic Architecture\, she has exhibited at the House of World Cultures (Berlin)\, MACBA (Barcelona) and MUAC (Mexico City)\, and contributed to the book FORENSIS (Sternberg\, 2014). She has exhibited solo work in Medellín\, London\, and documenta(13). She has published with Open Democracy\, Third Text and Different Skies\, a publication that she co-founded in 2012. \nIsabelle Carbonell is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and a PhD Candidate at the University of California\, Santa Cruz in Film and Digital Media\, thinking through a cinema of the anthropocene\, and how we think on multiple possible futures in this time of ecological crisis. Her work lies at the intersection of expanded documentary\, environmental justice\, invasive species\, eco-disasters\, and experimental ethnography. Her scholarship has been published in the Internet Policy Review\, Conexión Journal\, and the Cultural Anthropology Journal. Recent completed film works include: The River Runs Red (2018)\, The Blessed Assurance (2018) and\, The Camel Race (2019). \nThis event is part of the Beyond the End of the World symposium through the Center for Creative Ecologies in collaboration with The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Donka Farkas: Canonical and non-canonical speech acts
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present Donka Farkas speaking on Canonical and non-canonical speech acts. \nZoom Information will be emailed on Thursday\, November 19\, 2020. \n\nAbstract\nThe general issue addressed in this talk is how best to characterize canonical and non-canonical speech acts. The framework I will use is rooted in Farkas and Bruce (2010) and Farkas and Roelofsen (2017). The speech acts I concentrate on are assertions and questions. \nThe first part of the talk focuses on canonical assertions and questions. Pretheoretically\, canonical\, or typical\, assertions are informing speech acts whereby a knowledgeable speaker informs her addressee of the truth of the proposition she expresses. Canonical\, or typical\, questions request information\, i.e.\, an ignorant speaker requests her addressee to resolve the issue she raises. The question addressed in this part of the talk is why should canonical assertions and questions have these properties? I will attempt to answer it by showing that these properties follow from a context structure view based on Farkas and Bruce (2010) and the basic conventional discourse effects (CDE) declaratives and interrogatives are assigned in Farkas and Roelofsen (2017). CDE are defined as functions from the denotation of sentences and input context structures to output context structures. These functions affect the discourse commitments of the speaker\, the conversational table and the future states of the conversation the move projects. \nThe second part of the talk considers ways in which assertions and questions can be non-canonical\, i.e.\, ways in which declaratives and interrogatives can be used in contexts that override the canonical default assumptions discussed in the first part. It will be argued that such non-default cases can be either unmarked (as in the case of `quiz’ questions in English) or marked for various types of particular deviations from the canonical case\, such as markers of bias in questions\, which signal a departure from the speaker neutrality assumption in questions\, or markers of non-categorical commitment\, which signal departures from speaker knowledgeability in assertions. It will be argued that a promising way of treating\nsome of the linguistic means used in non-canonical speech acts is to treat them as force modifiers\, i.e. as contributing special CDE\, treated formally as functions from contexts C to contexts C’\, where C is the result of applying the basic CDE of the sentence to its input context (see Faller\, 2002; Murray\, 2010). \nFor questions please email Maria Zimmer.

SUMMARY:Ta-Nehisi Coates: Special post-election conversation
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to welcome Ta-Nehisi Coates\, one of our country’s best thinkers and writers\, for a virtual conversation about the state of our country post-election\, truth telling\, and the idea that stories and mythology can persuade and change attitudes when facts alone cannot. Coates’ novel\, The Water Dancer\, will serve as a starting off point for his conversation with Adam Serwer\, staff writer at The Atlantic. \nHosted by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz\, in partnership with Bookshop Santa Cruz and Marcus Bookstores in Oakland. \nWe’re excited to offer free event access and copies of Coates’ novel to the first 500 UCSC students who register. \nTicketing Information\nAll tickets include one paperback copy of THE WATER DANCER plus entry to the event. \n\nIn-store pickup: $22 (plus Eventbrite fees)\nShipped-to-You: $27 (plus Eventbrite fees)\nFree book and event access available to the first 500 current UCSC students who register. Sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. Student ID required at registration (Thank you\, students! Free tickets have now sold out. General admission tickets are still available for purchase).\n\n \n\n“What if memory had the power to transport enslaved people to freedom?’ . . . The most moving part of The Water Dancer [is] the possibility it offers of an alternate history. . . . The book’s most poignant and painful gift is the temporary fantasy that all the people who leaped off slave ships and into the Atlantic were not drowning themselves in terror and anguish\, but going home.”—NPR \n\nThe Humanities Institute is exploring the theme of Memory this year\, and this event is sure to provide substantive insight at a moment when we’re interrogating the past and trying to move forward as a country. We encourage everyone—current students\, alumni\, staff and community members—to join us for what will be an insightful and timely event. \nTa-Nehisi Coates is the author of The Beautiful Struggle\, We Were Eight Years in Power\, and Between the World and Me\, which won the National Book Award in 2015. He is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. \nAdam Serwer is a staff writer at The Atlantic and is the author of the forthcoming essay collection\, The Cruelty Is the Point: Essays on Trump’s America\, which can be pre-ordered through Bookshop Santa Cruz here.

Incorporating excerpts from Douglass’ speeches and dramatizations of his private and public milieus\, the film offers a contemplative\, poetic journey into Douglass’ zeitgeist and a forceful suggestion that the lessons of the abolitionist’s hour have yet to be learned. \nThis event is part of The Humanities Institute’s yearlong series on Memory. \nFor the 2020/21 academic year\, UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, in collaboration with Professor Dent\, feminist studies\, has organized a year-long series of online events featuring artists\, activists\, scholars\, and others united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. \nThe events of Visualizing Abolition accompany Barring Freedom\, a bi-coastal exhibition of art featuring Sonya Clark\, American Artist\, Dread Scott\, Deana Lawson\, Chandra McCormick and Keith Calhoun\, Sharon Daniel\, Sanford Biggers\, and other artists whose practices creatively confront the failure of many to see the racist biases within the criminal justice system or to comprehend the economic and social problems that the system serves to obscure. Barring Freedom will be on view at San José Museum of Art late October 2020-March 21\, 2021. \nVisualizing Abolition is organized by UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences in collaboration with San José Museum of Art and Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery. The series has been generously funded by the Nion McEvoy Family Trust\, Ford Foundation\, Future Justice Fund\, Wanda Kownacki\, Peter Coha\, James L. Gunderson\, Rowland and Pat Rebele\, Porter College\, UCSC Foundation\, and annual donors to the Institute of the Arts and Sciences. \nPartners include: Howard University School of Law\, McEvoy Foundation for the Arts\, Jessica Silverman Gallery\, Indexical\, The Humanities Institute\, University Library\, University Relations\, Institute for Social Transformation\, Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery\, Porter College\, the Center for Cultural Studies\, the Center for Creative Ecologies\, and Media and Society\, Kresge College.
