SUMMARY:"Just Futures" Opens
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute and the Center for Creative Ecologies present Beyond the End of the World Lecture Series. \n Just Futures\, a highly anticipated exhibition featuring the works of Arthur Jafa\, Martine Syms\, and Black Quantum Futurism\, curated by Professor T.J. Demos\, History of Art and Visual Culture\, opens at the Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery February 1- March 19\, 2022. We are excited to welcome the public back to the Sesnon Art Gallery after a nearly two-year hiatus. \nAgainst the present’s seemingly endless backdrop of deep political unrest\, environmental emergency\, and racialized injustice\, Just Futures highlights poignant creative experiments in futurity and justice\, directed at emancipatory worlds-to-come. With artworks by Black Quantum Futurism\, Arthur Jafa\, and Martine Syms\, Just Futures considers how time itself is a site of struggle and a horizon of liberation. The centerpiece of the exhibition\, Arthur Jafa’s Love Is The Message\, The Message Is Death (2016)\, was screened simultaneously over 48 hours across art museums in 2020 as an international response to racial justice uprisings and civil unrest. Far from homogenous\, inherently progressive\, or equitable\, dominant time expresses the 24/7 chronologies of capital\, long synchronized to racialized\, gendered violence and oppression. The seemingly endless meter of production encloses people in temporal holds\, defuturing communities\, and imposing time-traps of debt and deadlines. \nThe artworks included in Just Futures powerfully reveal and challenge such temporality\, including its seeming fixity and policed regimentation. In doing so\, they build on the critical resources of Afrofuturisms of decades past—experiments in sonic and visual futurity that draw together Afro-diasporic cultures of creativity and the chronopolitics of coming liberation. Expanding horizons of the possible\, the artists presented in Just Futures reveal new singular experiments in time travel. They cultivate space agency that dismantle the “Master(s) Clock(work Universe)” (Black Quantum Futurism); present a stunning cinematic exploration of African-American image archives opposing police brutality with scenes of freedom dreams and anti-racist struggle (Arthur Jafa); and offer a “Mundane Afrofuturist Manifesto” contesting the entire edifice of racial capitalism (Martine Syms). Each inclusion provokes compelling and urgent recalibrations of justice and futurity. \nThis exhibition forms part of Beyond the End of the World\, which comprises a year-long research and exhibition project and public lecture series\, directed by T. J. Demos of UCSC’s Center for Creative Ecologies. The project brings leading international thinkers and cultural practitioners to UC Santa Cruz to discuss what lies beyond dystopian catastrophism\, and asks how we can cultivate radical futures of social justice and ecological flourishing. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture and administered by The Humanities Institute. For more information visit BEYOND.UCSC.EDU.  \nPlease note: Exhibition includes violent imagery and content. \nVisitors must be in compliance with Covid-19 protocols. Please complete a symptom check before or upon arrival. \nJust Futures is sponsored by the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery\, Center for Creative Ecologies\, and The Humanities Institute. Education programming is developed by Darren Wallace\, PhD student in Film and Digital Media.

SUMMARY:Massimiliano Tomba - Revolutions/Restorations
DESCRIPTION:Reading revolutions through the prism of a concept of history that is not teleological or unilinear but is instead structured as a pluriverse of historical temporalities\, this talk shows how different temporalities and semantic stratification of revolution are reactivated in historical revolutionary moments. From this perspective\, the ancient notions of revolution and restoration are not erased but coexist as temporal stratifications. Tomba’s analysis is articulated through historical cases\, from the German peasant war of 1525 to the Water War in Bolivia in 2000. \n \nMassimiliano Tomba is the author of Krise und Kritik bei Bruno Bauer: Kategorien des Politischen im nachhegelschen Denken (2005); La vera politica: Kant e Benjamin: la possibilità della giustizia (2006); Marx’s Temporalities (2013); Attraverso la piccolo porta: Quattro studi su Walter Benjamin (Mimesis\, 2017); Insurgent Universality: An Alternative Legacy of Modernity (2019). \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nFor Winter 2022\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format\, in which some events are fully remote and others have the option of in-person attendance. Attendees have the option to attend in person in Humanities 210 or to watch the presentation on zoom. Those who attend in person must adhere to the campus mask mandate for all indoor activities and must complete UCSC’s symptom-check form before coming to campus. In person attendees are asked to please arrive at 12pm so that the event coordinators can verify the symptom check has been completed. To attend remotely via zoom\, please RSVP in advance\, and you will receive a zoom link on the morning of the colloquium. In most cases\, speakers will appear remotely so that they will not have to present wearing a mask. To RSVP for the full Winter colloquium series\, please use this form. If you have any questions about the colloquium\, please contact Piper Milton (cult@ucsc.edu). \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Isebill Gruhn\, "From McCarthyism to Today: Demagoguery Then and Now"
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 season of Our Community Reads from the Friends of the Aptos Library is featuring a series of special events related to themes in Red Letter Days by Sarah-Jane Stratford. All events aim to create a shared experience that will increase appreciation for our community libraries and for our local bookstores; foster pride in the varied experiences that our area offers; and the enrichment –– culturally\, intellectually\, and emotionally –– that comes from the joy of reading! \nSetting the stage for the era in which Red Letter Days takes place\, Professor Emerita “Ronnie” Gruhn will describe world events during the 1950’s and developments leading up to current day. She will define the various “isms”(authoritarianism\, socialism\, etc) that are often misused in today’s political discussions and explore the similarities\, if any\, of the McCarthy era to today. \nProfessor Gruhn arrived at UC Santa Cruz in 1969 as a member of the Political Science department and an affiliate of Stevenson College. Gruhn served in diverse capacities at UC Santa Cruz over the past four decades. She twice chaired the Political Science department (1973-1975 and 1980-1981) among other accomplishments\, and today is a regular lecturer for the Osher Lifelong Learner Institute. \n \nThis event is hosted by the Friends of the Aptos Library as part of their 2022 season of “Our Community Reads” and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Jorgge Menna Barreto - Voicescapes for the Landless
DESCRIPTION:This project expands traditional oral history methodologies by recording the voices of farmers of the Brazilian Landless Workers Movement (MST) embedded in the soundscapes of the food forests they cultivate. The resulting situated multispecies voicescapes will be used in the creation of pedagogical material for students in rural schools and beyond. \n \nJorgge Menna Barreto\, Ph.D. is a Brazilian artist and educator\, whose practice and research have been dedicated to site-specific art for over 20 years. In 2014\, he worked on a postdoctoral research project at Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina\, Brazil\, where he collaborated with a biologist and an agronomist to study relations between site-specific art and agroecology\, centring around agroforestry. In 2020 he completed a second postdoctoral research at Liverpool John Moores University\, England\, which led to the work presented at the Liverpool Biennial in 2021. Menna Barreto approaches site-specificity from a critical and South American perspective\, having taught\, lectured\, and written on the subject. He has translated authors from English into Brazilian Portuguese\, including Miwon Kwon\, Rosalyn Deutsche\, Hito Steyerl and Anna Tsing. Menna Barreto has participated in art residencies\, projects and exhibitions worldwide. In 2016\, he took part in the 32nd São Paulo Biennial with his award-winning project Restauro: a restaurant set up to work as a system of environmental restoration in collaboration with settlements of Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement [MST]. The project travelled to the Serpentine Galleries in London in 2017\, where the artist worked with a wild edibles expert\, a botanical illustrator and local organic growers. In 2020\, as a resident at the Jan van Eyck Academie\, Netherlands\, he launched a periodical called Enzyme in collaboration with artist Joélson Buggilla. In Geneva\, Switzerland\, he has collaborated on the MFA in Socially Engaged Art at HEAD – Haute École d’Arts Appliqués\, where he is working on a research project focused on ecopedagogy. In 2021\, Menna Barreto joined the Art Department of University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he also teaches at the new MFA in Environmental Art and Social Practice. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nFor Winter 2022\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format\, in which some events are fully remote and others have the option of in-person attendance.

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: TC Tolbert
DESCRIPTION:TC Tolbert (he/him/hey grrrl) is a trans and genderqueer monkey-goat who never ceases to experience a simultaneous grief and deep love any time s/he pays attention to the world. S/he writes poems\, works with wood\, learns\, teaches\, and wanders. In 2019\, TC was awarded an Academy of American Poets’ Laureate Fellowship for his work with trans\, non-binary\, and queer folks as Tucson’s Poet Laureate. Publications include Gephyromania (originally published by Ahsahta Press in 2014\, to be re-released by Nightboat Books in 2022) and five chapbooks. TC is also co-editor (along with Trace Peterson) of Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics (Nightboat Books 2013). TC lives in Tucson\, AZ where s/he is the current Poet Laureate. www.tctolbert.com \n \nChange Me: Stories of Radical Transformation – A Living Writers Series \nAfter a long period of sheltering in place and an even longer period of restricting our daily movements\, many of us are ready for change. This winter’s living writers all have stories of radical transformation to tell. TC Tolbert searches for a language to enact his transition from being Melissa to being TC; Jane Wong struggles to reconcile her American present with the transnational ghosts of her past; Yuri Herrera’s heroine embarks on a journey across the Mexican American border; Karen Tei Yamashita tells tales of ever changing demographics & invisible histories; Eric Wat’s protagonist remakes himself as he navigates drug abuse\, sexuality\, death and family dynamics; the speaker in Sandra Lim’s book of poems transforms not her life but the way she sees her life. All six writers remind us of the power of literature to transform us. They remind us that when we open a book\, often what we’re really saying is: change me. \nSee the full list of Living Writers Series events on the Creative Writing Program page.

SUMMARY:Undiscovered Shakespeare: The Life and Death of King John
DESCRIPTION:Join Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute\, as we launch Undiscovered Shakespeare: King John\, the third installment of our annual virtual Shakespeare program. Over the course of three sessions (February 10\, 17\, and 24)\, we will immerse ourselves in another rarely performed play and reflect on it both as a point of departure for Shakespeare’s career and as a mirror for the times in which we live. \nSession 1: February 10th\, 2022 6:30pm-8:30pm\nWe begin with a dramatic reading of The Life and Death of King John\, before turning to a presentation by Jesse Lander\, Associate Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame\, and an open discussion with Professor Lander\, director Charles Pasternak\, and the cast of the production. \nSubsequent sessions are held on Feb 17 and Feb 24\, 2022. Register for all three sessions here. \n \nKing John\, Full Play Synopsis:\nFrance threatens England with war\, claiming that King John has usurped the throne from its rightful claimant\, his nephew Arthur. Armies from both France and England seek support from the town of Angers which proposes that John’s niece marry the dauphin of France to solve the issue. The parties agree\, but the wedding and proposed peace are interrupted by the arrival of an emissary of the Pope who\, angry at John for his treatment of the church in France\, rekindles the war. France invades England and John plots to have Arthur murdered. When Arthur falls from a wall and dies\, the English lords\, convinced that John is responsible\, abandon his cause and join France. John tries to reconcile with the Church to forestall his defeat by the French\, but the Dauphin refuses to back down. The English lords\, however\, learning that the French mean to kill them after the victory\, change sides again. France sues for peace\, but the news comes too late to John\, who dies\, poisoned by a monk. \nUndiscovered Shakespeare is a public arts and humanities series co-produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute. It brings professional actors and scholars together with the public for a staged reading and discussion of works by Shakespeare that are rarely produced. King John is one of only two plays by Shakespeare written entirely in verse (along with Richard II). In it\, Shakespeare explores the use of political rhetoric to cloak self-serving ambitions during the reign of the king that saw the birth of the Magna Carta. \n  \nSean Keilen is Professor of Literature and former Provost of Porter College at UC Santa Cruz\, where he directs Shakespeare Workshop\, a research center of The Humanities Institute that uses Shakespeare’s writing to bring the campus and the community together in conversation about topics of shared concern. He studies Shakespeare and the history of criticism\, and is the author or editor of books and essays about early British literature and the classical tradition in England. He was educated at Williams College\, Cambridge\, and Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Black Liberation and Pedagogies - Necessary Trouble: Thinking with the Legacy of John R. Lewis
DESCRIPTION:“Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take\, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair\, more just society. “ ― John Lewis \nReady for some Necessary Trouble? In anticipation and in honor of the dedication of John R. Lewis College at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, the Division of Social Sciences\, Colleges Nine and Ten\, the Institute for Social Transformation\, and the Center for Racial Justice are organizing five events centered on topics exemplified by the life of Representative John Lewis. \nFeatured Speakers: \nSavannah Shange \nDavid Henry \nAnthony III \nCat Brooks \nAndrea del Carmen Vázquez \nAt UC Santa Cruz\, we believe that the real change is us. This series will highlight the efforts of faculty\, students\, staff\, community leaders\, and alumni in their commitments to social and racial justice\, civic engagement and democracy. It is an opportunity for us all to reflect on how we can help carry John R. Lewis’ legacy forward in the future. \n

Register for all sessions here. \nThe Santa Cruz Shakespeare Playbill for King John may be found here. \n \nKing John\, Full Play Synopsis:\nFrance threatens England with war\, claiming that King John has usurped the throne from its rightful claimant\, his nephew Arthur. Armies from both France and England seek support from the town of Angers which proposes that John’s niece marry the dauphin of France to solve the issue. The parties agree\, but the wedding and proposed peace are interrupted by the arrival of an emissary of the Pope who\, angry at John for his treatment of the church in France\, rekindles the war. France invades England and John plots to have Arthur murdered. When Arthur falls from a wall and dies\, the English lords\, convinced that John is responsible\, abandon his cause and join France. John tries to reconcile with the Church to forestall his defeat by the French\, but the Dauphin refuses to back down. The English lords\, however\, learning that the French mean to kill them after the victory\, change sides again. France sues for peace\, but the news comes too late to John\, who dies\, poisoned by a monk. \nUndiscovered Shakespeare is a public arts and humanities series co-produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute. It brings professional actors and scholars together with the public for a staged reading and discussion of works by Shakespeare that are rarely produced. King John is one of only two plays by Shakespeare written entirely in verse (along with Richard II). In it\, Shakespeare explores the use of political rhetoric to cloak self-serving ambitions during the reign of the king that saw the birth of the Magna Carta. \n  \nSean Keilen is Professor of Literature and former Provost of Porter College at UC Santa Cruz\, where he directs Shakespeare Workshop\, a research center of The Humanities Institute that uses Shakespeare’s writing to bring the campus and the community together in conversation about topics of shared concern. He studies Shakespeare and the history of criticism\, and is the author or editor of books and essays about early British literature and the classical tradition in England. He was educated at Williams College\, Cambridge\, and Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Poetry and Protest: Writing Amidst Chaos with poet Alan Pelaez Lopez
DESCRIPTION:In this poetry reading and community conversation\, Alan Pelaez Lopez will reflect on what it means to create art in the middle of legal and political violence. They’ll read from their book\, Intergalactic Travels: poems from a fugitive alien\, and a manuscript-in-progress tentatively titled trans*imagination in the hope that the work can invite questions about abolition\, migrant futures\, and the radical trans imaginary. \n \nAlan Pelaez Lopez is an AfroIndigenous poet\, installation and adornment artist from Oaxaca\, México. Their work attends to the quotidian realities of undocumented migrants in the United States\, the Black condition in Latin America\, and the intimate kinship units that trans and nonbinary people build in the face of violence.

SUMMARY:From the Margins: Dante 701 Years Later – Dante’s Mediterranean Awakening
DESCRIPTION:During Dante’s lifetime\, the maritime city-states of northern Italy consolidated their position at the center of Mediterranean transit and trade. Thanks to broader trends in the centuries before his birth – the Crusades\, increasing trade in essential foods and luxury goods\, and swift advances in naval architecture and financial supports for trade\, for instance – Genoa and Venice became important hubs for trade and travel between western Europe and the greater Mediterranean world. Florence grew dramatically during the thirteenth century\, but it wasn’t yet the dynamic financial and artistic center that it would become after Dante’s death. Dante’s exile exposed him to cultural trends and technologies reaching northern Italy from the broader Mediterranean world that were still little known in Florence. The works he wrote after his exile – especially the Commedia – reveal his fascination with the technological and intellectual innovations that he learned about as he traveled through northern Italy. This talk addresses Dante’s discovery of the material culture of the Mediterranean – like the shipyards in Venice\, which he may or may not have visited in person; paper and watermarks; dice and dice games; and carpets from the east – and intellectual trends\, like Islamic teachings and legends about the afterlife\, after his exile from Florence. \n \n  \nKarla Mallette is Professor of Italian in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures and Professor of Mediterranean Studies in the Department of Middle East Studies at the University of Michigan. She is the author of The Kingdom of Sicily\, 1100-1250: A Literary History (2005) and European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean (2010); she co-edited A Sea of Languages: Rethinking the Arabic Role in Medieval Literary History (2013). Her most recent book\, Lives of the Great Languages: Latin and Arabic in the Medieval Mediterranean\, was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2021. She has directed the Global Islamic Studies Center and the Center for European Studies and is currently chair of the Department of Middle East Studies at the University of Michigan. \nThis event is presented by The Humanities Institute and sponsored by the Siegfried B. and Elisabeth Mignon Puknat Literary Studies Endowment\, Literature Department\, Cowell College\, Italian Studies\, and the Center for the Middle East and North Africa at Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Engseng Ho - Dubai and Singapore: Asian Diasporics\, Global Logistics\, Company Rule
DESCRIPTION:Dubai and Singapore are emblematic of the contemporary global moment\, embodying dizzying success\, frenetic excess\, spectacular crash. Are they global cities or port-states? Are they Asian nations or corporations descended from the East India Companies that became colonial governments? Their iconic status today as global cities is not simply a function of globalization\, but can be understood in terms of dynamic currents that shape and reshape places in the Indian Ocean\, the original Asian venue of an international economy. Dubai and Singapore are two tiny places that have seen success because they have understood those currents\, and acted in accordance with changes in their dynamics. What are these dynamics – their constants over the long term\, and their recent shifts? \n \nEngseng Ho is a professor of Anthropology and History at Duke University. He is also the Muhammad Alagil Distinguished Visiting Professor of Arabia Asia Studies at the Asia Research Institute\, National University of Singapore. He is a leading scholar of transnational anthropology\, history and Muslim societies\, Arab diasporas\, and the Indian Ocean. His research expertise is in Arabia\, coastal South Asia and maritime Southeast Asia\, and he maintains active collaborations with scholars in these regions. He is co-editor of the Asian Connections book series at Cambridge University Press\, and serves on the editorial boards of journals such as American Anthropologist\, Comparative Studies in Society and History\, History and Anthropology. He has previously worked as Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University; Senior Scholar\, Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies; Country and Profile Writer\, the Economist Group; International Economist\, Government of Singapore Investment Corporation/Monetary Authority of Singapore; Director\, Middle East Institute\, National University of Singapore. He was educated at the Penang Free School\, Stanford University\, and the University of Chicago. \nThis event is co-sponsored by SEACoast (Center for Southeast Asian Coastal Interactions) \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nTo attend remotely via zoom\, please RSVP in advance\, and you will receive a zoom link on the morning of the colloquium.

SUMMARY:University Forum: Beyond the Middle Passage: Slave Trading within the Americas\, 1619-1807
DESCRIPTION:During the American slave trade\, more than 12 million enslaved African people endured the infamous Middle Passage across the Atlantic. For many\, the forced migration didn’t end when they reached an American port. Demand for enslaved labor was so rampant in the Americas that speculators purchased many arriving people only to ship them from colony to colony for resale. This phase of the slave trade within the Americas not only added to enslaved people’s traumatic journeys\, it also reveals the centrality of slavery to early American life. Black History Month\, celebrated each year during February\, is a chance for Americans to learn details of their nation’s history that are far too often neglected and pushed to the wayside. This month’s University Forum is a difficult\, yet crucial\, conversation about the spread of the slave trade within the Americas and how slavery became an American institution. Join this University Forum with Professor Greg O’Malley\, moderated by Professor Vilashini Cooppan\, and followed by a question and answer period led by Professor Gina Dent and Professor Cooppan.

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Yuri Herrera
DESCRIPTION:Yuri Herrera’s first novel to appear in English\, Signs Preceding the End of the World\, received great critical acclaim in 2015 and was included in many Best-of-Year lists. Yuri is a political scientist\, editor and contemporary Mexican writer who teaches at Tulane University in New Orleans. His prose was described as “stunning” and his novel as an entrance “to the golden gate of Mexican literature” by Elena Poniatowska. Born in Acopan\, Mexico\, Yuri resides in New Orleans\, Louisiana. \n \nChange Me: Stories of Radical Transformation – A Living Writers Series \nAfter a long period of sheltering in place and an even longer period of restricting our daily movements\, many of us are ready for change. This winter’s living writers all have stories of radical transformation to tell. TC Tolbert searches for a language to enact his transition from being Melissa to being TC; Jane Wong struggles to reconcile her American present with the transnational ghosts of her past; Yuri Herrera’s heroine embarks on a journey across the Mexican American border; Karen Tei Yamashita tells tales of ever changing demographics & invisible histories; Eric Wat’s protagonist remakes himself as he navigates drug abuse\, sexuality\, death and family dynamics; the speaker in Sandra Lim’s book of poems transforms not her life but the way she sees her life. All six writers remind us of the power of literature to transform us. They remind us that when we open a book\, often what we’re really saying is: change me. \nThis event is sponsored by the Puknat Literary Endowment\, The Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, The Laurie Sain Endowment\, The Humanities Institute\, and Bookshop Santa Cruz. \nSee the full list of Living Writers Series Events on the Creative Writing Program page.
