SUMMARY:CANCELED: Hannah Zeavin – Sigmund Freud: Tele-Analyst
DESCRIPTION:In The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy\, Hannah Zeavin shows that\, far from a recent concern in the COVID-19 pandemic\, teletherapy is as old as psychoanalysis itself. It may be well known that Sigmund Freud routinely used media metaphorically in his theories of the psychic apparatus; this talk recovers the early history of Freud’s real use of media in therapies over distance. \nZeavin reads epistolary and postal conventions in Freud’s moment\, intertwined with Freud’s own epistolary self-analysis (in correspondence with Wilhelm Fliess) and the unconventional treatment by correspondence of his only child patient\, the agoraphobic “Little Hans\,” in order to rethink the coincidental origins of psychoanalysis and teletherapy\, and to help us think through narratives of loss that attend current uses of technology to mediate therapy. \n\n \nHannah Zeavin is a scholar\, writer\, and editor whose work centers on the history of human sciences (psychoanalysis\, psychology\, and psychiatry)\, the history of technology\, feminist STS\, and media theory. She is an Assistant Professor at Indiana University in the Luddy School of Informatics. Additionally\, she is a visiting fellow at the Columbia University Center for the Study of Social Difference.\nZeavin’s first book\, The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy is now out from MIT Press\, with a Foreword by John Durham Peters. She is at work on her second book\, Mother’s Little Helpers: Technology in the American Family (MIT Press\, under contract). Other academic work has appeared in or is forthcoming from differences: A Journal of Feminist Studies\, Technology and Culture\, American Imago\, Media\, Culture\, & Society\, and elsewhere. \n\n\nFree and open to the campus community and the public. This event is presented by the UCSC Center for World History

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Douglas Brinkley: Silent Spring Revolution
DESCRIPTION:New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed presidential historian Douglas Brinkley will present his new book Silent Spring Revolution\, which chronicles the rise of environmental activism during the Long Sixties (1960-1973)\, on December 1 at the UC Santa Cruz Cowell Ranch Hay Barn. The book tells the story of an indomitable generation that saved the natural world under the leadership of John F. Kennedy\, Lyndon B. Johnson\, and Richard Nixon. Brinkley will be joined by State Senator John Laird for a question and answer session\, including questions from the audience. \n \nSeating will be first come\, first served. \nThe first 50 students in attendance will receive a free copy of Silent Spring Revolution. Student ID required. \nWith the detonation of the Trinity explosion in the New Mexico desert in 1945\, the United States took control of Earth’s destiny for the first time. After the Truman administration dropped atomic bombs on Japan to end World War II\, a grim new epoch had arrived. During the early Cold War years\, the federal government routinely detonated nuclear devices in the Nevada desert and the Marshall Islands. Not only was nuclear fallout a public health menace\, but entire ecosystems were contaminated with radioactive materials. During the 1950s\, an unprecedented postwar economic boom took hold\, with America becoming the world’s leading hyperindustrial and military giant. But with this historic prosperity came a heavy cost: oceans began to die\, wilderness vanished\, the insecticide DDT poisoned ecosystems\, wildlife perished\, and chronic smog blighted major cities. \nIn Silent Spring Revolution\, Douglas Brinkley pays tribute to those who combated the mauling of the natural world in the Long Sixties: Rachel Carson (a marine biologist and author)\, David Brower (director of the Sierra Club)\, Barry Commoner (an environmental justice advocate)\, Coretta Scott King (an antinuclear activist)\, Stewart Udall (the secretary of the interior)\, William O. Douglas (Supreme Court justice)\, Cesar Chavez (a labor organizer)\, and other crusaders are profiled with verve and insight. \nCarson’s book Silent Spring\, published in 1962\, depicted how detrimental DDT was to living creatures. The exposé launched an ecological revolution that inspired such landmark legislation as the Wilderness Act (1964)\, the Clean Air Acts (1963 and 1970)\, and the Endangered Species Acts (1966\, 1969\, and 1973). In intimate detail\, Brinkley extrapolates on such epic events as the Donora (Pennsylvania) smog incident\, JFK’s Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty\, Great Lakes preservation\, the Santa Barbara oil spill\, and the first Earth Day. \nWith the United States grappling with climate change and resource exhaustion\, Douglas Brinkley’s meticulously researched and deftly written Silent Spring Revolution reminds us that a new generation of twenty-first-century environmentalists can save the planet from ruin. \nPresented by The Humanities Institute and Bookshop Santa Cruz. Co-sponsored by the Institute for Social Transformation. \n  \nDouglas Brinkley is the Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and Professor of History at Rice University\, presidential historian for the New-York Historical Society\, trustee of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library\, and a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. The Chicago Tribune dubbed him “America’s New Past Master.” He is the recipient of such distinguished environmental leadership prizes as the Frances K. Hutchison Medal (Garden Club of America)\, Robin W. Winks Award for Enhancing Public Understanding of National Parks (National Parks Conservation Association)\, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Lifetime Heritage Award. His book The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina\, New Orleans\, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast received the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award. He was awarded a Grammy for Presidential Suite and is the recipient of seven honorary doctorates in American studies. His two-volume\, annotated Nixon Tapes recently won the Arthur S. Link-Warren F. Kuehl Prize. He lives in Austin\, Texas\, with his wife and three children. \nEvent logistics: Bicycling\, car pooling\, ridesharing\, and public transportation are encouraged as parking is limited.

SUMMARY:Victorian Necromancies with Professor Renée Fox – Discussion of Dracula (Chap. 17-End)
DESCRIPTION:Victorian Necromancies with Professor Renée Fox \nAs part of the series “Victorian Necromancies\,” Professor Fox will lead three sessions that offer the Friends an opportunity to explore the Victorian gothic\, one of her favorite genres of 19th-century literature. \nFrom Professor Fox: “The first session will be a presentation on my forthcoming book\, The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature\, and the second two sessions will be discussions of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (1897). Although I don’t write about Dracula very much in my book\, I chose it for these sessions for a few reasons: as an Irishman living in London for much of his adult life\, Stoker has always been important to my work on the intersections between Irish and British writing at the end of the 19th century\, and Dracula is a deeply weird novel that I think everyone should read and talk about. I’m also really interested in adaptation (I think about it as a form of reanimation)\, and Dracula offers a fantastic opportunity not just to talk about the text’s many adaptations across the last 125 years\, but also to talk about the novel’s own investments in questions of originality and reproduction.” \nRenée Fox is an assistant professor in the Literature Department at UC Santa Cruz\, where she teaches classes in Victorian Studies\, Irish Studies\, the gothic\, and popular culture. She is the 2022 Autumn Friends of the DickensProject Faculty Fellow. \nVirtual Sessions \n\n\n\nBook Talk: The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature\nOctober 2\, 20222:00 PM PDT\n\n\n\nDiscussion: Dracula (Beginning to Chapter 16)\nNovember 6\, 20222:00 PM PST\n\n\n\nDiscussion: Dracula (Chapter 17 to End)\nDecember 4\, 20222:00 PM PST\n\n\n\n\nMore Information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/programs/friends-faculty-fellows/victorian-necromancies.html \nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUkf–hpz8rEtTZRTrhuGsHGRsIQJSVlahR
