SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED - Blossoms into Gold: The Croatians in the Pajaro Valley
DESCRIPTION:** This event has been rescheduled for July 24th ** \nOf all the immigrant groups who flocked to California in the last two hundred years\, probably the least known are the Croatians of the Dalmatian Coast. Often identified as Austrians\, Slavonians\, or Dalmatians\, they came from a glorious background of international traders\, sailors\, and political thinkers few people in America knew about\, and brought with them knowledge that would change the way the United States did business. At the same time\, they transported their customs and beliefs to their new home and established a way of life that was vibrant and rich in traditional folkways. Join the authors of Blossoms into Gold for a discussion of this community’s fabled past and economic innovations in the Pajaro Valley. \nDonna F. Mekis holds degrees in both Anthropology and Education from UC Santa Cruz. She had a forty-year career in higher education\, working at both UC Santa Cruz and Cabrillo College. At Cabrillo\, Donna developed and directed both the Transfer Center and the Honors Transfer Program. Recently\, she served as the President of UCSC’s Alumni Association and is currently a Trustee on the UC Santa Cruz Foundation Board. \nKathryn Mekis Miller did her undergraduate and graduate work at UC Berkeley. She and her husband Marshall Miller opened their first retail store in Santa Cruz in 1971. They have developed a number of successful businesses under the umbrella name Sun Shops\, which has now become a second-generation Santa Cruz business. In 2009\, Sun Shops were honored as the Business of the Year by the Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce. \nFor more information\, please visit Blossoms into Gold. \nFree with museum admission. Sponsored by UC Santa Cruz University Library and The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Filippo Gianferrari - Dante and Boccaccio vs. Medieval Education: A Lesson in Cross-Cultural Pastoral
DESCRIPTION:Readers have always been fascinated by Dante’s distinctive habit of placing episodes from Scripture side by side with ancient pagan myths\, as though the latter had a comparable authority. As my reading shows\, a popular medieval school text\, known as the Eclogue of Theodulus (Ecloga Theoduli)\, supplied a fitting precedent and model for this practice and might have suggested some specific series of examples that Dante stages in his Purgatorio. By constructing a system of parallel mythological and biblical examples\, the Ecloga Theoduli featured a syncretic account of universal history that suggested mythology was a prefiguration of the events recounted in the Bible. Whereas the Ecloga depicts a clash between Christian and pagan cultures\, however\, dismissing the latter as a lie\, Dante harmonizes the two traditions\, providing a syncretic program for the moral instruction of the Christian reader. Although the Purgatorio’s syncretic discourse constituted a remarkable innovation\, which exerted long-lasting influence on later authors\, it nonetheless retained some of the cultural limitations imposed by the Ecloga—as\, for instance\, in the representation of Virgil’s inability to cross the river Lethe in Eden. The chapter goes on to argue that first in Paradiso 19 and then in his last work\, the second Egloga to Giovanni del Virgilio\, Dante obliquely criticizes the Ecloga Theoduli’s condemnation of ancient poetic wisdom. The case of the Ecloga\, therefore\, well encapsulates Dante’s conflicting attitude toward his own education. The paper ends by showing that Boccaccio’s eclogue Olympia (Buccolicum Carmen 14) provides a sophisticated parody and refutation of the Ecloga Theoduli that takes as its model and interlocutor Dante’s wrestling with the same text in his own oeuvre. \n \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 Spring 2022\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format\, with the option of in-person or virtual attendance. Attendees have the option to attend in person in Humanities 210 or to watch the presentation on zoom. 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 Spring 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:Deep Read 2022 Faculty Salon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with campus faculty and the Deep Read community at the 2022 Deep Read Salon where we’ll discuss Yaa Gyasi’s Transcendent Kingdom. UCSC Chancellor Cynthia Larive—an accomplished bioanalytical chemist—will be joined by Vilashini Coopan (Literature and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies) and Gina Athena Ulysse (Feminist Studies)\, for an evening of discussion and depth. \nCommunity members in Santa Cruz are encouraged to join us in person at the Hay Barn. Everyone else will be able to participate remotely over Zoom. \n \n\n\nSalon Faculty Lineup\nChancellor Cynthia Larive not only leads our campus\, but also is an accomplished bioanalytical chemist and first-generation college graduate. Her academic experience closely tracks to the professional story arc of the novel’s narrator-protagonist. \nVilashini Cooppan is Professor of Literature and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz. She’ll bring her scholarly approach to comparative and world literature\, postcolonial studies\, memory studies\, affect theory\, and genre theory to our reading and understanding of Transcendent Kingdom. \nGina Athena Ulysse is an artist-scholar and Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz.  She will focus on how the novel negotiates the narrator’s cultural divide as a young Ghanian-born immigrant to the US\, discussing  howshe is seeking to self-actualize from a Black feminist standpoint.   \nAbout The Deep Read\nThis salon is part of The Humanities Institute’s Deep Read Program that invites curious minds to think deeply about literature\, art\, and the most pressing issues of our day.

SUMMARY:Harjeet Grewal - Janamsakhis and Sikh Epistemology
DESCRIPTION:The Sikh tradition produced some of the earliest vernacular prose narratives beginning in the mid-sixteenth century known as Janamsakhis. These accounts of Guru Nanak Sahib’s life remain central to the lives of Sikhs across the globe today. This talk reviews scholarly debates about Janamsakhi’s and argues that examining the Janamsakhis from a critical literary perspective helps better determine their role in Sikh intellectual and ethical life. Their longevity and continuing importance\, Grewal argues\, is better understood from such a perspective. \nJoin Zoom here. \nPresented by the Center for South Asian Studies and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Kyle Parry - Generativity Across Scales
DESCRIPTION:Toni Morrison said a book is not “This is what I believe\,” because that would be “just a tract.” Rather\, a book is “I don’t know what it is\, but I am interested in finding out what it might mean to me\, as well as to other people.” This talk’s “I don’t know” is a concept that has been used to describe everything from language to a life stage to the creative power of the internet: generativity. Arguing against uncritical visions of generative AI\, I frame generativity as a fact and a force at work across multiple scales of networked life. It is something people do together\, and that might yet be done differently. \n \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 Spring 2022\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format\, with the option of in-person or virtual attendance.

SUMMARY:Jed Buchwald - "Isaac Newton and the Origin of Civilization"
DESCRIPTION:Isaac Newton\, who renovated the foundations of mathematics\, optics\, and mechanics in the 17th century\, aimed also to overturn the entire history of civilization. By the late 1690s Newton had become convinced that the natural rate of population growth implied that elaborately organized social life had not arisen until near the time of Solomon’s kingdom. He canvassed ancient texts for words that could be pruned and transformed into supporting evidence – deploying in the process the earliest known procedures for handling discrepant data\, and reconstructing the very plan of Solomon’s temple. Here we will find Newton’s unorthodox religious convictions interacting in complex ways with the new methods that he had introduced into experimental science. And we will also see how the most sophisticated of techniques can produce error when data is massaged to fit a strongly-held conviction. \n*Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this year’s event will only be held online. Join us by registering for the webinar here: \n \n  \nJed Z. Buchwald is the Doris and Henry Dreyfuss Professor of History at Caltech. After earning degrees in physics and science history at Princeton and Harvard\, Professor Buchwald taught for twenty years at the University of Toronto. After several years as director of the Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, he moved to the California Institute of Technology in 2001. He has authored or co-authored six books in the history of science and\, more recently\, on the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Buchwald is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, the International Academy of the History of Science\, and is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was also a MacArthur Fellow in 1995. \n  \n\nInaugural Nauenberg History of Science Lecture\nThe Nauenberg History of Science Lecture was established in honor of Michael Nauenberg\, a founding faculty member in the Physics Department at UCSC who came to the campus in 1966. During his distinguished academic career\, he contributed to a remarkably broad range of fields\, including particle physics\, condensed matter physics\, astrophysics\, chaos theory\, fluid dynamics\, and the history of physics in the 17th-18th centuries. \nAmongst Professor Nauenberg’s passions\, he deeply believed in the importance of interdisciplinary scholarship connecting the sciences with the humanities. Following his retirement in 1994\, he pursued his long-standing interests in the history of science\, writing books and articles about Joseph Banks\, Robert Hooke\, Christiaan Huygens\, and Isaac Newton. In 2013\, he became the only scientist to receive the University of California Panunzio Distinguished Emeriti Award\, an honor normally given to Professors in the Humanities and Social Sciences. When Professor Nauenberg passed away in 2019\, the UCSC Emeriti Association and the Nauenberg family established a History of Science Lecture series in the spirit of his 1999 proposal. \nYou can support the lecture series by contributing here. \nThe Nauenberg History of Science Lecture is presented by the UCSC Emeriti Association and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute.

DESCRIPTION:Pamela Z is a composer\, technologist\, mixed-media and performance artist specializing in real-time synthesis\, voice and vocality\, and the framing of found objects and found texts as opportunities for unexpectedly visceral engagements— engagements with the interiorities and exteriorities of our identities and communities. She will complete a two-part residency at UC Santa Cruz\, engaging with artists\, and then in public dialogue with our music- and media-curious communities on the future of performance and multi-modal creativity. \n  \nMedia and Society is a series of lectures and public conversations on the role of media\, journalism\, popular culture narrative\, and media representation\, in the deployment of power in contemporary society. \n \nEach series lasts a full academic year\, but the fall quarter of the series is also a component of Kresge 1: Power and Representation\, the core course at Kresge College. The series as a whole uniquely serves the UC Santa Cruz community in a vital function of the liberal arts: to cultivate dialogue in the context of public dialogue\, and to guard our freedoms in expressing and debating that knowledge.

SUMMARY:Madhavi Murty - Stories that Bind: Political Economy and Culture in New India
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the publication of a new book by Feminist Studies Prof. Madhavi Murty\, in conversation with Prof. Gina Dent. \nStories that Bind: Political Economy and Culture in New India (Rutgers University Press) examines the assertion of authoritarian nationalism and neoliberalism backed by the authority of the state\, and argues that contemporary India should be understood as the intersection of the two. Through its focus on India and its complex media landscape\, the book reveals that this intersection has a narrative form\, which Prof. Murty labels “spectacular realism.” Studying stories told through film\, journalism\, and popular non-fiction\, Murty argues that Hindu nationalism and neo-liberalism are conjoined\, and that consent for this political economy project is crucially won in the domain of popular culture. \n \nAttendance is hybrid and can be in-person in Humanities 1 210 or virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Abolition. Feminism. Now. with Angela Davis\, Gina Dent\, Erica Meiners\, and Beth Richie.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with abolitionist scholars Angela Davis\, Gina Dent\, Erica Meiners\, and Beth Richie as they discuss their new book\, Abolition. Feminism. Now. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Free tickets available online. Tickets and admission details to be announced. Please familiarize yourself in advance with the full COVID-19 protocols required for admission. \nAs a politic and a practice\, abolition increasingly shapes our political moment—halting the construction of new jails and propelling movements to divest from policing. Yet erased from this landscape are not only the central histories of feminist—usually queer\, anti-capitalist\, grassroots\, and women of color—organizing that continue to cultivate abolition but a recognition of the stark reality: abolition is our best response to endemic forms of state and interpersonal gender and sexual violence. Amplifying the analysis and the theories of change generated from vibrant community based organizing\, Abolition. Feminism. Now. surfaces necessary historical genealogies\, key internationalist learnings\, and everyday practices to grow our collective and flourishing present and futures. Abolition. Feminism. Now. is available for purchase online or in person at Bookshop Santa Cruz. \nThis conversation is sponsored by the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, The Humanities Institute\, Feminist Studies\, and Bookshop Santa Cruz as part of the Andrew W. Mellon funded Visualizing Abolition initiative UC Santa Cruz. \nAbout the Speakers: \nAngela Y.

Richie is Director of the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy\, and Professor of Black studies and criminology\, law\, and justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Richie’s most recent publication\, Arrested Justice: Black Women\, Violence and America’s Prison Nation\, 2012 demonstrates the emphasis of both her scholarly and activist work on how race/ethnicity and social position affect women’s experience of violence and incarceration\, focusing on the experiences of African American battered women and sexual assault survivors. \n

SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship: A Tale of Two Cities
DESCRIPTION:A Tale of Two Cities is a historical novel set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It is the story of the French Doctor Manette\, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris\, and his release to live in London with his daughter Lucie whom he had never met. The story details the conditions that led to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. \nIts central themes–cultural and historical difference\, the nature of political revolution and change\, the identity and narration of the self\, sacrifice\, secrecy heroism–find expression through an often weird or gothic concern with bodies and their doubles\, split identities\, and the uncertain boundaries of life and death. \nJoin Wayne Batten and the Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship for a series of discussions about Dickens’s most enduring–and shortest!–novels.

SUMMARY:The Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies: A Conversation with Ethan Michaeli
DESCRIPTION:Please join us The Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies\, which promises to be a lively conversation between Ethan Michaeli\, award-winning author of the new book\, Twelve Tribes: Promise and Peril in the New Israel\, and Nathaniel Deutsch\, Baumgarten Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz. Taking place on May 24th at 6:00 PM. \nRSVP to attend virtually here. \nTwelve Tribes explores tribalism in Israel and Palestine by weaving together personal histories of ordinary citizens from all walks of life\, revealing the land’s extraordinary\, polyphonic diversity as well as its volatility. An American Jew with close family in Israel\, Michaeli used his background and language skills to gain access to Israelis and Palestinians of all sectors during his travels across the country over four crucial years. Michaeli met with the aging revolutionaries who founded Israel’s kibbutz movement and the young people working for the country’s booming Big Tech companies\, Ethiopian Jews and ultra-Orthodox Haredim. Twelve Tribes examines Israeli-Palestinian relations at the grassroots level with portraits of Palestinian citizens of Israel and those living in the territory ruled by the Palestinian Authority\, as well as Israeli settlers and soldiers\, illuminating how the conflicts there have global consequences. The book also explores the rapidly changing relationship between Israel and the United States\, whose political interactions are increasingly fraught even as their military industries and even legal systems are more enmeshed. \nEthan Michaeli is an award-winning author\, educator and publisher whose latest book\, Twelve Tribes: Promise and Peril in the New Israel (Custom House\, 2021)\, was praised by The New York Times Book Review\, which noted that “…illuminating conversations with a wide variety of ordinary people — ultra-Orthodox Jews\, Holocaust survivors\, aging kibbutzniks\, Ethiopian and Russian immigrants\, Arab citizens of Israel\, Jewish settlers and Palestinians in the West Bank — fill the pages of this richly descriptive book.” The New York Times applauded Ethan’s first book The Defender: How the Legendary Black Newspaper Changed America\, (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\, 2016) as “a towering achievement that will not be soon forgotten.” The Defender was named a Notable Book of 2016 by The New York Times\, The Washington Post and Amazon\, awarded the Best Non Fiction of 2016 prizes from the Chicago Writers Association as well as the Midland Authors Association\, and placed on the short list for the Mark Lynton Prize. \n\nThis event is made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Barbara McCullough in Conversation with Lior Shamriz
DESCRIPTION:A native of New Orleans\, Barbara McCullough has spent most of her life in southern California.
