SUMMARY:Linda Garber – The Present in Our Past: Reading Lesbian Historical Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of the pleasures and perils of lesbian historical fiction\, as Linda Garber (author of Novel Approaches to Lesbian History) introduces the thrilling and heart-wrenching adventures\, trenchant theoretical insights\, and critical political shortcomings of novels that establish a historical footing for contemporary lesbian identity in the face of a problematic\, mostly silent\, archive. She’ll cover genres ranging from westerns (Tomboys and Indians) and pirate tales (Unsafe Seas for Women) to the postmodern (Haunting the Archives) and the erotic (Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Lesbian Sex)\, while calling for an intersectional\, trans-inclusive lesbian literature and history. \n Linda Garber is associate professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Santa Clara University\, where she teaches queer literature and film\, and feminist and queer theory. Her book Novel Approaches to Lesbian History was published by Palgrave in 2021 and is now available in paperback. Her earlier books include Identity Poetics: Race\, Class\, and the Lesbian-Feminist Roots of Queer Theory and the anthology Tilting the Tower: Lesbians / Teaching / Queer Subjects. \n \n  \n  \n  \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. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Ethnographic Trans-formations: Cases\, Life Histories\, and Other Entanglements of Emergent Research
DESCRIPTION:The Mellon Sawyer Seminar on “Race\, Empire\, and the Environments of Biomedicine” will welcome\, as a residential scholar\, Kaushik Sunder Rajan\, Professor of Anthropology and of Social Sciences and Co-Director of the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory at the University of Chicago. Professor Rajan’s first two books focused on the global political economy of the life sciences and biomedicine\, with an empirical focus on the United States and India. Biocapital: The Constitution of Postgenomic Life\, published by Duke in 2006\, is a multi-sited ethnography of genomics and post-genomic drug development marketplaces in the United States and India. His second book\, Pharmocracy: Knowledge\, Value and Politics in Global Biomedicine (Duke\, 2017)\, elucidates the political economy of global pharmaceuticals as seen from contemporary India. \nProfessor Rajan will give a talk on his ongoing research project on South Africa\, which concerns the ways in which a politics of health in South Africa plays out through the law\, consequent to the guarantee of a fundamental right to health in the South African Constitution. This talk is the presentation of an emergent research trajectory. Drawing upon an imaginary of “multisituated” research design and practice\, I elaborate the (often contingent and serendipitous) development of my recent work in South Africa\, which includes a research project on health and constitutionalism and a teaching- and performance-based collaboration on the politics of breath. I am still wrestling with how to structure both\, how they come together and diverge\, their different conceptual modalities and political stakes. This includes a consideration of the stakes of legal archival research and life-history interviews in the context of contemporary and emergent research and political situations\, as well as of thinking questions of ethnographic form in concert with others who are invested in considerations of literary or musical form. How to think about transformations of research practice in the context of unsettled and unresolved macro-political transformations in uncertain and fragile times? Why might it matter? \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Slugs and Steins with Professor Eric Porter: What Can We Learn from the Airport?
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, airports may seem like alienating “nonplaces”—as anthropologist Marc Augé put it—where we rush to make connections and spend long\, monotonous hours waiting for delayed flights. But airports are fascinating sites that can tell us a lot about the places where they are situated. Among other things\, they are complex infrastructures where people\, the built and natural environments\, and different kinds of networks come together. Airports are also sites of accumulated power in a given region. Looking at the history of an airport\, then\, can provide a airport useful lens for examining some of the complex\, interconnected forces that have influenced the development of its region over time. Exploring that history can also help us understand how differently positioned people in that place have abided\, resisted\, and otherwise negotiated the powerful forces that have shaped their lives. In this talk\, Eric Porter will discuss San Francisco International Airport (SFO) as a site whose history reveals important perspectives on a wide range of phenomena that have helped to make the Bay Area. Along the way he will read excerpts from his new book\, A People’s History of SFO: The Making of the Bay Area and an Airport. \n \nOrder A People’s History of SFO: The Making of the Bay Area and an Airport online and save 30%. Use source code SAVE30 at checkout. \nEric Porter is Professor of History\, History of Consciousness\, and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, where he is also affiliated with the Music and Latin American and Latina/o Studies departments. His research and teaching interests include Black cultural and intellectual history\, US cultural and urban history\, and jazz and improvisation studies. \nSlugs and Steins are free informal lectures served up over Zoom. Brought to you by the UC Santa Cruz Alumni Association\, each talk will engage one of our favorite professors in discussion with you\, the local community of Silicon Valley\, and beyond. We will cover everything from organic artichokes to endangered zebras\, self-driving cars to Shakespeare. All are welcome. Audience participation is encouraged. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Jarrod Shanahan – Skyscraper Jails
DESCRIPTION:How did a campaign to end the humanitarian catastrophe of New York City’s Rikers Island penal colony culminate in the planned creation of skyscraper jails across the city\, with no closure of Rikers in sight? The tragic story of recent jail reform efforts in New York City is at once novel\, and indicative of broader trends in “humanitarian” jail reform\, growing activism big big philanthropy in the supposed reform of mass incarceration\, and the evolution of non-profit organizations promoting the extension of the carceral state — all conducted under the auspices of “social justice.” Tracing the contours of this new moment of carceral boosterism\, Dr. Jarrod Shanahan will present on a work in progress\, Skyscraper Jails\, co-authored with criminal justice scholar Dr. Zhandarka Kurti. This work draws from extensive archival research\, years of collaborative scholarship\, and participation in the campaign against the new jails. \nJarrod Shanahan is an activist-scholar and assistant professor of criminal justice at Governors State University in University Park\, IL. He is the author of Captives: How Rikers Island Took New York City Hostage (Verso\, 2022)\, co-author with Zhandarka Kurti of States of Incarceration: Rebellion\, Reform\, and America’s Punishment System (Field Notes/Reaktion\, 2022)\, and an editor of Treason to Whiteness is Loyalty to Humanity (Verso\, 2022)\, a Noel Ignatiev reader. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \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. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Anthony Trollope Down Under: Travel Writing\, Bushfires and Australian Ecology with Professor Grace Moore
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the Dickens Project invites you to participate in “Anthony Trollope Down Under: Travel Writing\, Bushfires and Australian Ecology with Professor Grace Moore.” The three sessions will offer the Friends a chance to examine Victorian responses to the environment\, with a particular emphasis on Australia. The first session will involve a presentation on Professor Moore’s current research\, which is on representations of bushfires and wildfires in nineteenth-century settler literature. The project is informed by both the environmental humanities and emotions theory and she will talk a little about these approaches. As part of this session\, she will introduce some of the work she has done on Anthony Trollope’s travels (especially his representations of fire and environmental issues). We will also spend some time thinking about how Trollope positioned himself as a successor to Dickens\, as both a novelist and travel writer. \n \n1/8/23\, 2pm PST – Research Talk:\nRepresentations of bushfires and wildfires in nineteenth-century settler literature\n2/12/23\, 2pm PST – Discussion: Chapters I-VI Harry Heathcote of Gangoil\n3/12/23\, 2pm PST – Discussion: Chapters VII-XII Harry Heathcote of Gangoil \nThe second and third sessions will be discussions of Trollope’s wonderfully melodramatic Christmas story Harry Heathcote of Gangoil (1874). The novella is set in Australia and draws on Trollope’s own experiences down under. It’s a remarkable work for the depth of emotions that it conveys\, but also for how it captures the uncanny and threatening qualities that settlers saw in the Australian bush. Professor Moore has chosen Harry Heathcote because it presents an aspect of Trollope’s writing that is often forgotten\, but also because it raises a number of fascinating issues including migration\, race and climate change\, which will\, she hopes\, lead to some lively discussions. \nGrace Moore is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Otago\, Aotearoa/New Zealand. She is the author of Dickens and Empire and The Victorian Novel in Context\, and her edited works include (with Michelle Smith)\, Victorian Environments. Grace’s most recent publication is a special issue of the journal Occasion\, entitled Fire Stories. She first attended the Dickens Universe as a graduate student in 1998. \nThis event series is presented by the Dickens Project.

SUMMARY:Baskin Ethics Lecture with Joy Connolly - A Connected Planet: Scholarship for the Global Good
DESCRIPTION:“Serving the public good” is the motto and a strategic goal of many an American research university. In this lecture\, Joy asks: what public do humanistic scholars serve\, how do we define the public and its good\, and how does and how might our study contribute to this project? Thinking critically about the tradition of research on the ancient Mediterranean\, Joy’s own field\, she makes the case for a planetary frame for humanistic study whose fields of activity are the global and the local. This frame resolves an intractable tension in academia today\, where institutions proudly recruit students and faculty from all over the world but retain disciplinary divisions that reflect the national borders and imperial power map of two centuries ago. \n \nIn-person attendance\nThe lecture will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. and will be followed by a question and answer session and a reception in the Rotunda. Doors will open at 3:30 p.m \n \nVirtual attendance \nJoy Connolly began her service as President of the American Council of Learned Societies on July 1\, 2019. Previously\, she served as provost and interim president of The Graduate Center at the City University of New York\, where she was also Distinguished Professor of Classics. She has held faculty appointments at New York University\, where she served as Dean for the Humanities from 2012-16\, Stanford University\, and the University of Washington. Committed to broadening scholars’ impact on the world\, as provost at the Graduate Center Joy secured generous support from the Mellon Foundation to foster public-facing scholarship through innovative experiments in doctoral training. She has published two books with Princeton University Press and over seventy articles\, reviews\, and short essays. Connolly earned a BA from Princeton University in 1991 and a PhD in classical studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997. She was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2021. \nThe Peggy Downes Baskin Ethics Lecture Series is a lively forum for the discussion and exploration of ethics-related challenges in human endeavors. The Ethics Lecture is made possible by the Peggy Downes Baskin Humanities Endowment for Interdisciplinary Ethics which enables the Humanities Division to promote a dialogue about ethics and ethics related challenges in an interdisciplinary setting. The endowment was established in honor of Peggy Downes Baskin’s longtime interest in ethical issues across the academic spectrum. \nThis event is presented by the Humanities Division and co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Amelia Glaser - Angry Winds: Jewish Leftists and the Challenge of Palestine\, 1929
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 1929\, a week of violence in Mandate Palestine left hundreds of Jews and Arabs dead and many more wounded. These events\, which began with protests in Jerusalem\, divided the world-wide Jewish Left into those who sympathized with the Arabs and those who condemned the violence as a new manifestation of the east European anti-Jewish pogrom. In this talk\, Amelia Glaser will discuss how these events echoed in the transnational community of Yiddish poets\, and will analyze poetry written in support of each side. The Yiddish poetry devoted to the clashes in Palestine a century ago help to illuminate how complex ideologies have long defined identity and community. \nAmelia Glaser is Professor of Literature at UC San Diego\, where she holds the Endowed Chair in Judaic Studies. She is the author of Jews and Ukrainians in Russia’s Literary Borderlands (Northwestern U.P.\, 2012) and Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine (Harvard UP\, 2020). She is the editor of Stories of Khmelnytsky: Literary Legacies of the 1648 Ukrainian Cossack Uprising (Stanford U.P.\, 2015) and\, with Steven Lee\, Comintern Aesthetics (U. Toronto Press\, 2020). She is also a translator from\, primarily\, Yiddish\, Ukrainian\, and Russian. She is currently writing about contemporary Ukrainian poetry.

SUMMARY:Keya Ganguly – Reason and the Image: On Satyajit Ray’s Shatranj Ke Khilari (The Chess Players)
DESCRIPTION:This talk focuses on Satyajit Ray’s cinematic treatment of an episode from India’s late colonial history in Shatranj Ke Khilari (“The Chess Players\,” 1977).

SUMMARY:What is Life? Conference
DESCRIPTION:The conference addresses problems and inconsistencies in modern definitions of life by appealing to explicit and implicit definitions of life offered in ancient texts. This problem is becoming increasingly urgent as astrobiologists come closer to being able to detect biosignatures or signs of life on extrasolar planets\, since the forms of life that exist on these planets may not fit within definitions of life generated by biologists for studying life on Earth. We think that ancient answers to this definitional problem may suggest fruitful directions in which contemporary\, operating definitions of life could be expanded. Participants include experts on a wide array of ancient cultures whose work addresses concepts of life from a range of theoretical perspectives; we pay particular attention to speakers whose work addresses gendered and racialized views of life in antiquity. We also engage modernist scholars whose work has critiqued contemporary definitions of life. Finally—and most essentially—the conference is coordinated with UCSC’s astrobiology initiative and includes several speakers from scientific fields who can address the role of definitions in the search for extraterrestrial life. \nKeynote: Carol Cleland\, Philosophy (University of Colorado Boulder) \nAlso featuring: \n\nRuth Murray-Clay\, Planetary Science (UC Santa Cruz)\nFrancesca Spiegel\, Greek literature/medicine\nMartin Devecka\, Cultural history/Central Asia (UC Santa Cruz)\nMichael Wong\, Astrobiology (Carnegie Institution for Science’s Earth & Planets Laboratory)\nAmit Shilo\, Greek literature and political theory (UC Santa Barbara)\nZac Zimmer\, Latin American Literature and speculative fiction (UC Santa Cruz)\nMario Telo\, Greek literature (UC Berkeley)\nTejas Aralere\, Ancient science/Sanskrit (UC Santa Barbara)\nAlex Purves\, Greek literature (UCLA)\nDavid Shorter\, World Arts/Dance/Anthropology (UCLA)\nLaurence Totelin\, Ancient science/technology/medicine ( Cardiff University)\nAnna Freidin Roman cultural history (University of Michigan)\nGina Konstantopoulos\, Assyriology and Cuneiform Studies (UCLA)\nJames Porter Ancient literature and philosophy (UC Berkeley)\nGiulia Maria Chesi Greek literature/history of technology\nMark Csikszentmihalyi\, East Asian Languages and Cultures (UC Berkeley)\nKaren ni Mheallaigh\, Ancient science/fiction (John Hopkins Univeristy)\nColin Webster\, Greek medicine (UC Davis)\nNatalie Batalha\, Astrobiology (UC Santa Cruz)\nMaria Gerolemou\, Greek Literature/History of technology  (University of Exeter)\nStuart Bartlett\, OOL and exoplanets (Cal Tech)

SUMMARY:Richard Jean So – How #BLM Became a Story: Black Fiction in the Age of Platform Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Event co-sponsored with Kresge College\, Media and Society Lecture Series and the Departments of Literature and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies. \nNew online writing platforms\, like Wattpad\, are massively popular (100 million registered users upload ~300\,000 stories per day)\, and with their focus on user generated content and open access\, promise to democratize contemporary cultural production. This talk explores how such platforms represent and accommodate Blackness\, specifically examining the rise of a new genre category of writing: the #BLM story\, over the past five years. Using a mixture of critical and computational methods\, and drawing from critical race theory and platform studies\, I ask: what textual features define this story\, how do such features evolve over time\, and how does this story differ from previous iterations of racial protest literature? Also: are such stories able to thrive on such platforms – what is their relationship to platform capitalism? \nRichard Jean So is associate professor of English and digital humanities at McGill University. He focuses on computational and data-driven approaches to contemporary literature and culture\, with a particular interest in race and inequality. His most recent book is Redlining Culture: A Data History of Racial Inequality and Postwar Fiction\, and he is at work on a new project called Fast Culture\, Slow Justice: Race and Writing in the Platform Age. He has published in both academic journals like Critical Inquiry and PMLA and popular periodicals\, such as The New York Times and The Atlantic. \n \n  \n  \n  \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. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:The Mystery of Edwin Drood Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:The Mystery of Edwin Drood Discussion Series\nFebruary 26\, March 26\, and April 30 at 1:00-3:00 PM | Virtual Event \nThe next three Pickwick Club sessions will focus on Dickens’s last and most enigmatic work\, the unfinished Mystery of Edwin Drood. Considered by many lovers of detective fiction to be the ultimate mystery novel\, since its author died without providing a solution\, Drood has challenged and intrigued the imaginations of generations of readers. \nJoin Dickens enthusiast\, writer\, and Friends of the Dickens Project board member\, Carl Wilson for a series of discussions about this book. Wilson notes: \n“I first read Drood in 1980 when Leon Garfield published his completion of the novel. I was fascinated then\, and still am\, by his theory that Dickens would have presented Jasper as a divided self\, anticipating Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde by almost twenty years. Although no one will truly know\, that theory has stayed with me since\, and I would suggest that first-time readers pay close attention to Dickens’s various descriptions of Jasper throughout the five completed and sixth partially completed monthly numbers.” \nReading Schedule\nFebruary 26: Chapters 1-9\nMarch 26: Chapters 10-16\nApril 30: Chapters 17-End \nQuestions to consider for the first session: The opening chapter reads like almost nothing else that Dickens wrote. What is the purpose of such tortuous writing? What is the result of Dickens choosing to write much of the opening pages in present tense? Wilkie Collins thought that Drood was “the melancholy work of a worn-out brain.” Do you agree? \nMore Information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/resources/pickwick-club/2023-02-edwin-drood.html\nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEkdOmurTgjGdIQ0pyOjIhtspXltHg3huWg \nThe Santa Cruz Pickwick (Book) Club\, a branch of the Dickens Fellowship\, is a community of local bookworms\, students\, and teachers who meet monthly to discuss a nineteenth-century novel. The Santa Cruz Public Libraries provide support for the reading group.
