SUMMARY:Spring 2012 Living Writers Reading Series: Tom Marshall & Rusty Morrison
DESCRIPTION:Having survived residence in 4 states and 1 province\, 20 towns & cities\, 23 jobs\, 3 families\, and 15 schools\, Marshall has slipped the noose of his handful of chapbooks and for now settled into a fresh way of making his poetry: free and green in blogbooks online. Impressed by the productive tensions between vocabularies in leading arts like dance\, he has let pictures into his poems. This began with a chuckle at Facebook and the form it offered with its way for posting a photo and saying something about it. His work still gets picked up by magazines\, but they too are drifting into the ether to find new formats. Teaching at many institutions (Cabrillo College for the last 22 years) has taught him about ineffable effect\, and politics have turned him away from object production. Marshall is a product of his times\, here and there on the web\, but not a commodity. \nRusty Morrison is an American poet and publisher. She received a BA in English from Mills College in Oakland\, California\, an MFA in Creative Writing (Poetry) from Saint Mary’s College in Moraga\, California\, and an MA in Education from California State University\, San Francisco. She has taught in the MFA program at the University of San Francisco\, and was Poet in Residence at Saint Mary’s College in 2009. She has also served as a visiting poet at a number of colleges and universities\, including the University of Redlands\, Redlands\, California; University of Arizona\, Tucson\, Arizona; Boise State University\, Boise\, Idaho; Marylhurst University\, Marylhurst\, Oregon\, and Millikin University\, Decatur\, Illinois. In 2001\, Morrison and her husband\, Ken Keegan\, founded Omnidawn Publishing in Richmond\, California and continue to work as co-publishers. \nThe Living Writers Reading Series is sponsored by the Siegfried B. & Elisabeth Mignon Puknat Fund\, Porter College George Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center\, Literature Department/Creative Writing Program\, Laurie Sain Creative Writing Endowment\, East Asian Studies Program\, Bay Tree Bookstore\, Latino and Latin American Studies Center\, Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\, El Centro\, Cantu Queer Center\, Chicano Latino Research Center\, Stevenson College\, Oakes College\, and Merrill College. \nBooks are sold at the readings by The Bay Tree Bookstore.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: For many years the majority opinion in the literature has been that epistemic modals cannot scope under past tense (e.g.\, Groenendijk & Stokhof 1975\, Cinque 1999\, Abraham 2001\, Drubig 2001\, Fagan 2001\, Condoravdi 2002\, Stowell 2004\, Hacquard 2006\, Borgonovo & Cummins 2007\, Demirdache & Uribe-Etxebarria 2008\, Laca 2008). This view is based largely on the claim that epistemic modals in unembedded contexts are never interpreted with a past temporal perspective (in the sense of Condoravdi 2002). \nIn this paper we provide data from four languages (English\, Dutch\, Gitksan\, and St’át’imcets) to show that epistemic modals can scope under past tense. We thus join the minority of researchers who believe that past-T.P. epistemic readings are possible (e.g.\, Eide 2003\, Boogart 2007\, Martin 2009\, Homer 2010\, von Fintel and Gillies 2008)\, but unlike many of these authors\, we do not explain away the readings as dependent on free indirect discourse or some other exceptional mechanism. On the contrary\, we claim that the null hypothesis holds with respect to interactions between tense and the conversational backgrounds of modals: there are no grammatical constraints. In principle\, any modal can have any type of conversational background\, irrespective of its relation to tense. \nOur analysis is a modified version of Condoravdi’s\, with certain restrictions removed; we also build on insights from Abusch (2008). For English\, we rely not on have optionally scoping over the modal\, but on have optionally triggering the defective past tense of might. This is independently motivated by the behaviour of might and the other defective past-tense modals in sequence of tense environments (cf. Stowell 2004). \nHotze Rullman is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia. This talk is presented by UCSC’s Department of Linguistics.

SUMMARY:Robert Weinberg: "Blood Libel in Late Imperial Russia: Popular Antisemitism\, the Occult and the Trial of Mendel Beilis"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Weinberg will explore the nature of popular antisemitism in the Russian Empire during the trial of Mendel Beilis\, a Kievan Jew accused of ritual murder in 1913. Concerned citizens sent letters to the prosecution during the trial in order to buttress the government’s case against Beilis. The letters permit us to delve into the popular beliefs and practices of the literate public and provide insight into the social\, intellectual\, and cultural tensions caused by late Imperial Russia’s encounter with modernity. \nBio: Professor Weinberg has been teaching at Swarthmore College for nearly 25 years. His research has focused on various aspects of the Jewish experience in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union. His first book examined Jewish-gentile relations in the context of the 1905 revolution in Odessa (Blood on the Steps: The Revolutoin of 1905 in Odessa) and his second book explored the establishment of the Jewish Autonomous Region\, aka Birobidzhan\, in the Soviet Far East (Stalin’s Forgotten Zion: Birobidzhan and the Making of a Soviet Jewish Homeland). He is currently putting the finishing touches on a document reader about the Beilis Affair.

SUMMARY:The Birth of a Poet: William Everson Centennial
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial anniversary of the birth of one of California’s great treasures\, William Everson/Brother Antoninus: teacher\, shamanistic poet-in-residence at UCSC from 1970 to 1981\, famed hand-press printer\, advocate of an erotic\, earth-based spirituality and herald of the environmental revolution. \nWilliam Everson was born in Sacramento\, California in 1912 to Christian Science parents on a farm near Selma in the San Joaquin Valley. During the Depression\, he attended Fresno State College\, but soon dropped out to devote his life to poetry after discovering the works of Robinson Jeffers. Everson published his first book of verse\, We Are the Ravens in 1935. During World War II\, he declared himself a conscientious objector and was placed in a series of work camps in the Pacific Northwest\, where he first learned the art of handset printing and where he also completed The Residual Years\, which brought him national attention. His marriage did not survive the war. \nAfter the war\, Everson joined the San Francisco Renaissance movement of poets and anarchists surrounding Kenneth Rexroth. In 1951\, following his second failed marriage\, he entered the Dominican Order. Donning the traditional Dominican robe and hood\, he was a colorful and widely respected figure in the Beat literary movement for nearly two decades. He took the name of Brother Antoninus\, under which he became well known. In 1957\, after Kenneth Rexroth‘s “San Francisco Letter” appeared in the Evergreen Review\, Everson was regarded as one of the San Francisco Renaissance poets (the Beats) and he was tagged with the name of “The Beat Friar”. \nIn 1969\, having fallen in love with his third wife\, Susanna Rickson\, Everson renounced his Dominican calling. Two years later he took a position at UCSC\, where he taught a popular course called “Birth of a Poet” and founded the University’s Lime Kiln Press. He also established himself as an important literary theorist with the publication of Archetype West: The Pacific Coast as a Literary Region. \nIn 1991\, Everson was honored as Artist of the Year by the Santa Cruz County Arts Commission.

SUMMARY:Philosophy in a Multicultural Context
DESCRIPTION:This public conference investigates the relation between philosophy and its multicultural context. Are there immutable questions and universal answers regarding knowledge\, values\, and reality\, or is philosophical inquiry bound by history\, geography\, and culture? Should the philosopher be responsible to the public? Four panels of local intellectuals from Google\, San Francisco State University\, San José State University\, Stanford\, UC Santa Cruz\, and University of San Francisco wish to engage with a diverse audience. \nFor more information\, please visit the conference website: http://philosophy.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia-conferences/postscripts.html \nOrganized by Professor Rasmus Grønfeldt Winther \nSupport provided by the IHR; Philosophy Department; College 8; Cowell College; Merrill College; Office for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion; Impact Media Group

SUMMARY:Affect Across the Disciplines II
DESCRIPTION:Affect Studies offers new opportunities to traverse the boundaries between the humanities\, social sciences\, and engineering. This year’s panel features presentations by UCSC graduate students whose varying approaches to the study of “affect” demonstrate the breadth of the field and its interdisciplinary possibility. \nErin Gray (History of Consciousness): “The White Flesh of the World: Affect and Racialization” \nErin researches white supremacist visual and material culture and she is currently thinking about the relationship between lynching\, the U.S. culture industry\, and the development of monopoly capitalism. \nLaurel Peacock (Literature): “Affect and Poetics”\nLaurel is working on a dissertation on affect in contemporary feminist poetry. \nPascal Emmer (Sociology): “Talkin’ ‘Bout Meta-Generation: ACT UP History and Queer Futurity”\nPascal is interested in the nexus of affect\, generation\, queer activist histories and futures\, oral history\, and the politics of memory. \nBen Samuel (Computer Science): “Affect and Expressive Intelligence”\nBen will discuss two research projects in development at UCSC’s Expressive Intelligence Studio\, which not only make use of sate of the art AI systems to model affect\, but are playable media experiences which afford the user opportunities for self reflection on affect in their own lives. \nPlease join us for a sensorium of refreshments! \nFor information about the research cluster\, please contact dbgould@ucsc.edu or freccero@ucsc.edu. \nStaff support for this event is provided by the IHR staff.

SUMMARY:Ben Munson: "Perceived gender and fricative identification"
DESCRIPTION:Two theoretical problems have stood at the core of psycholinguistic research in syntactic comprehension: (1) the resolution of local ambiguity; and (2) syntactic complexity\, or the difficulty incurred in processing locally unambiguous structures. This talk describes a unified treatment of these two problems through the theory of surprisal\, which proposes that comprehenders rationally deploy probabilistic knowledge to yield variability in word-by-word processing difficulty that reflects a wide range of evidential information sources. I present computational modeling and experimental studies showing how surprisal effects account for a range of both garden-path ambiguity resolution and syntactic complexity effects\, and give empirical evidence for the specific quantitative relationship between subjective probability and processing difficulty — as measured by word-by-word reading times — proposed by surprisal theory. For problems of syntactic complexity I compare the predictions of surprisal theory to those of theories positing a primary role of distance-sensitive locality due to memory constraints\, and present new empirical data from studies on German and Russian syntactic processing that provide evidence of both surprisal and locality effects. I close with speculation on possible ways forward toward a unified theory of probabilistic knowledge and memory constraints in incremental sentence comprehension. \nBen Munson is Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences at the University of Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Anat Gilboa: "Rembrandt's Depictions of Jewish Themes"
DESCRIPTION:Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) is known for his vivid interpretation of themes from the Hebrew Bible. His reputation as a painter of histories\, based on pictorial and literary sources\, was formed early in his career. Male figures from the Bible such as Moses\, Abraham or Jeremiah are represented as heroic protagonists. Female figures\, essential to the Bible and the narrative of ancient Israel\, are prominently depicted in various roles: as mothers and wives or lovers of patriarchs\, heroes and kings. Reflecting moralistic attitudes in art of the time\, Rembrandt often portrayed these women in the context of corrupting influence or precipitating fatal events. Yet in the master’s late depictions of biblical histories\, we discover a deep understanding of human nature\, especially noticed in his late portrayals of biblical heroines. \nDr. Anat Gilboa is an art historian\, specializing in early modern art\, Jewish and Israeli visual culture. She has taught at universities in Israel\, Canada and the US. Her research has resulted in a book and in various publications in American and European journals and conferences. \nThis event is presented by the Center for Jewish Studies\, with cosponsorship by the David B. Gold Foundation.

SUMMARY:Sustaining Activism and Political Hope: Webinar with Grace Lee Boggs
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who wishes to attend the webinar online instead of in person\, please contact Nancy Chen <nchenucsc@gmail.com> as soon as possible to reserve a spot. We will be using Google + hangouts as the webinar platform so be prepared to have a Google account.  The platform is limited to 10 parties so please rsvp by November 7 for instructions. \n—- \nA legendary activist for social justice\, Grace Lee Boggs—now 97 years old—has participated in social and political movements against war and on behalf of labor\, civil rights\, environmental justice\, Black Power\, Asian Americans\, and women. In her writing and through her organizing\, Boggs has helped to transform the lived experience of work\, community and politics.

SUMMARY:Sunaina Maira: "More Delicate Than a Flower\, Yet Harder Than a Rock: Human Rights in the Shadow of an Empire"
DESCRIPTION:This talk focuses on the political mobilization of young people targeted by the War on Terror\, exploring what it means to challenge the U.S. imperial state from within and to engage in solidarity with those beyond its borders who are targets of imperial violence. It draws on an ethnographic study of South Asian\, Arab\, and Afghan American youth in Silicon Valley and new forms of politics and coalition-building that have emerged since 9/11 among youth who are seen as prime suspects in the domestic War on Terror. What does it mean to view the political subjecthood of South Asian\, Arab\, and Afghan American youth through the theoretical lenses of critical ethnic studies and work on imperialism and settler colonialism? The research demonstrates that while college-age youth often turn to the framework of civil rights and human rights in responding to regimes of surveillance and policing and opposing overseas wars and occupation\, they also have to confront the failure of liberal rights-talk in particular instances of political organizing that go beyond a politics of multicultural recognition. \nSunaina Maira is Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Davis. She is the author of Desis in the House: Indian American Youth Culture in New York City and Missing: Youth\, Citizenship\, and Empire After 9/11. She is coeditor (with Elisabeth Soep) of Youthscapes: The Popular\, the National\, the Global and (with Rajini Srikanth) of Contours of the Heart: South Asians Map North America\, which won the American Book Award in 1997. Maira has worked with various antiwar\, civil rights\, and immigrant rights groups in the Bay Area.\nThis event is organized and sponsored by the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Program. Cosponsored by the University of California Center for New Racial Studies\, the Division of Humanities at UCSC\, and the UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies. Staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Colloquium ~ Scott Gilbert: "We are all lichens: How symbiosis research has reconstituted a new realm of individuality"
DESCRIPTION:4:00pm\, Humanities 1\, Room 210\nCo-Sponsored by UCSC Philosophy\, History of Consciousness\, Cultural Studies\, and Science and Justice Working Group \n ABSTRACT: The notion of the “biological individual” is crucial to studies of genetics\, immunology\, evolution\, development\, anatomy\, and physiology. Each of these biological sub-disciplines has a specific conception of individuality\, which has historically provided conceptual contexts for integrating newly acquired data. During the past decade\, nucleic acid analysis\, especially genomic sequencing and high-throughput RNA techniques\, has challenged each of these disciplinary definitions by finding significant interactions of animals and plants with symbiotic microorganisms that disrupt the boundaries which heretofore had characterized the biological individual. Animals cannot be considered individuals by anatomical\, or physiological criteria\, because a diversity of symbionts are both present and functional in completing metabolic pathways and serving other physiological functions. Similarly\, these new studies have shown that animal development is incomplete without symbionts. Symbionts also constitute a second mode of genetic inheritance\, providing selectable genetic variation for natural selection. The immune system also develops\, in part\, in dialogue with symbionts\, and thereby functions as a mechanism for integrating microbes into the animal-cell community. Recognizing the “holobiont”—the multicellular eukaryote plus its colonies of persistent symbionts– as a critically important unit of anatomy\, development\, physiology\, immunology\, and evolution\, opens up new investigative avenues and conceptually challenges the ways in which the biological sub-disciplines have heretofore characterized living entities. \nABOUT: Scott F. Gilbert is the Howard A. Schneiderman Professor of Biology at Swarthmore College\, where he teaches developmental genetics\, embryology\, and the history and critiques of biology. He received his B.A. in both biology and religion from Wesleyan University (1971)\, and he earned his PhD in biology from the pediatric genetics laboratory of Dr. Barbara Migeon at the Johns Hopkins University (1976). His M.A. in the history of science\, also from The Johns Hopkins University\, was done under the supervision of Dr. Donna Haraway. He pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Wisconsin in the laboratories of Dr. Masayasu Nomura and Dr. Robert Auerbach. Dr. Gilbert has been Chair of the Division of Developmental and Cell Biology of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology\, and he is a member of the education committee of the Society for Developmental Biology. \nHe has also been elected a fellow of the AAAS and the St. Petersburg Society of Naturalists. He currently has three books in print:Developmental Biology (a textbook in its eighth edition)\, Bioethics and the New Embryology (a volume\, co-authored with two students\, that discusses new findings in developmental biology with respect to philosophy and religion)\, and Ecological Developmental Biology\, a textbook co-authored with David Epel which integrates developmental plasticity\, epigenetics\, and symbiosis into discussions of medicine and evolution. Scott has received several awards\, including the Medal of François I from the Collège de France\, the Dwight J. Ingle Memorial Writing Award\, the Choice Outstanding Academic Book Award\,  honorary doctorates from the University of Helsinki and the University of Tartu\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Grant. In 2002\, the Society for Developmental Biology awarded him its first Viktor Hamburger Prize for Excellence in Education\, and in 2004\, he was awarded the Kowalevsky Prize in Evolutionary Developmental Biology. He has recently become a Finland Distinguished Professor at the University of Helsinki and has received a grant from the National Science Foundation to work on that most interesting of topics-how the turtle forms its shell-and he continues to do research and write in both developmental biology and in the history and philosophy of biology. \nOutside the class and laboratory\, his interests include hiking\, photography\, and he plays piano in KNISH\, one of Swarthmore’s premier Klezmer bands

SUMMARY:Andries W. Coetzee: "A lexical route to voicing co-occurrence restrictions: the case of Afrikaans"
DESCRIPTION:Many languages have restrictions on the co-occurrence of laryngeally marked segments (such as voiced obstruents\, aspirates\, glottalized consonants\, etc.). Current theories of sound change ascribe the origin of these restrictions either to speaker-oriented articulatory forces (grammaticalization of articulatory simplification) or to listener-oriented perceptual forces (grammaticalization of misperception). In this presentation\, I will argue for a third possible source for these co-occurrence restrictions\, based on a newly developing restriction in Afrikaans. I will argue that co-occurrence restrictions can also arise via a lexical route. Through the gradual lexical accumulation of sound changes\, a pattern consistent with a co-occurrence restriction can accidentally arise in the lexicon of some language. Once the pattern has been lexically established\, language users can then elevate the pattern to a grammatical principle via a statistical learning mechanism. I will first establish the existence of the voicing co-occurrence in Afrikaans relying on the three kinds of evidence: (i) Evidence for the pattern in the Afrikaans lexicon. (ii) The results of a wug-test with Afrikaans speakers. (iii) Evidence from non-standard minority varieties of Afrikaans in which the restriction has been established more firmly than in Standard Afrikaans. I will then trace the developments of the Afrikaans lexicon from Dutch\, showing that the lexical pattern in Afrikaans is an accidental side-effect of a series of unrelated sound changes that applied in the development from Dutch to Afrikaans. \nAndries W. Coetzee is Associate Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Michigan.

And how does it differ among us? At the Silver Platter\, the search for answers to these questions creates coalitions across generations. \nThe film will be screened in conjunction with Prof. Marcia Ochoa’s courses FMST 41 and Soc Doc 204\, and to foster campus dialogue on Transgender Studies and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies. \nFeminist Studies wishes to make this program accessible to people with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Clive Sinclair: “Zion Down Under\, or Israel through the Looking Glass”
DESCRIPTION:Photo of Melech Ravitch with a young Aboriginal woman in the outback. Photo courtesy of Monash University.\nDr. Sinclair will tell us how Melech Ravitch – poet\, traveller\, and (until 1934) Executive Secretary of the Fareyn fun Yidishe Literatn un Zhurnalistn in Varshe – got wind of the approaching catastrophe of the Holocaust\, and scanned the globe for a place of refuge. With this in mind he set out for Australia in 1933\, and upon arrival mounted an expedition to the Kimberleys in the Northern Territory. \nHis account of the journey – written in Yiddish – and his numerous photographs\, display a remarkable and unusual sympathy for the aboriginal people. Indeed\, he saw in them a reflection of the suffering of his own people he had left behind in Europe. \nRavitch is an engaging companion. And if it weren’t for the historic tragedies that befell both Jews and Aborigines his journey would be the stuff of comedy. \nIn the 1980s his journey and experience was recreated on canvas by his famous son\, Yosl Bergner. Still only seventeen\, Bergner had followed his father to Australia\, where he soon established himself as the conscience of Australian art. Like his father he felt a kinship for the Aborigines\, magnified by the awareness of what exactly had befallen European Jewry. In 1950 Yosl Bergner arrived in Israel\, where he eventually became one of the country’s most distinguished artists. Just as his father saw Australia as a sort of double-exposure – Europe over-laid upon Australasia – so Bergner juxtaposes Israel and Australia\, producing a looking-glass image of the Promised Land. In short\, the father presents a version of What-Might-Have-Been\, while the son offers a portrait of a dreamer disappointed.\nClive Sinclair has published 13 books of fiction\, travel\, and autobiography\, some of which have been given prizes. Early in his career he was selected as one of the twenty Best of Young British Novelists. His most acclaimed collection of stories – The Lady and the Laptop – won both the PEN Silver pen for fiction\, and the Jewish Quarterly award for fiction. An earlier collection\, Bedbugs\, was recently republished by Syracuse University Press in its Library of Modern Jewish Literature. In 2008 he published Clive Sinclair’s True Tales of the Wild West\, an exercise in Dodgy Realism. He also leads a double-life as an academic and critic: he has published a study of Isaac Bashevis and Israel Joshua Singer – The Brothers Singer – and writes regularly for the Times Literary Supplement. His association with UCSC began in 1969\, when he arrived from England as a graduate student; it continued in 1980-81\, when he returned as a Visiting Lecturer\, as he did again in 2003.

SUMMARY:Maziar Toosarvandani:  "Gapping is VP Ellipsis "
DESCRIPTION:Where does the gap in gapping — e.g. Some had ordered mussels\, and others swordfish — come from? The traditional answer is deletion (Ross 1970\, Hankamer 1979\, among others). Johnson (2009) presents a formidable challenge to this view. He argues that gapping cannot arise through deletion because gapping has several unique properties that distinguish it from more familiar deletion operations\, such as VP-ellipsis. Instead\, Johnson proposes that the gap in gapping arises through ‘low coordination’ — coordination of vPs — and across-the-board movement. \nFirst\, I argue that across-the-board movement cannot be a general account of gapping\, since it is not able to derive the gap in coordination structures with corrective but (Vicente 2010\, Toosarvandani\, to appear). Then\, I revive a version of the deletion account\,  in which gapping is VP-ellipsis in a low-coordination structure. This correctly generates gapping in corrective but sentences. Moreover\, once the information-structural properties of low coordinations are taken into consideration — low coordinates must have parallel focus structures — it also accounts for the unique properties of gapping. \nReferences \nRoss\, John Robert. 1970.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Kaplan: "Turning social categories into biological realities: 'Race' made biological"
DESCRIPTION:Biological facts can neither determine nor justify the racial categories identified in our ordinary social discourse. Claims to the contrary confuse our ability to find biological correlates to populations with our social reasons for picking out and maintaining those categories over time. Using recent arguments surrounding “race” and medicine as an example\, I argue that rejecting misguided claims regarding the biological nature of “race” remains important if we are to respond appropriately to the injustices inherent in the fundamental importance that socially ascribed racial categories continue to have in determining people’s life-prospects \nDr. Jonathan Kaplan‘s main research interests lie in the Philosophy of Biology and in Social and Political Philosophy. His recent publications include work on human behavior genetics\, on the conceptual foundations of evolutionary biology\, on issues surrounding the roles that race plays in medicine and in housing\, and on the discourses surrounding race and human biology more generally. He is currently an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Oregon State University.\nArticle of interest: \nPrisoners of Abstraction? The Theory and Measure of Genetic Variation\, and the Very Concept of “Race”\nby Jonathan Michael Kaplan & Rasmus Grønfeldt Winther

SUMMARY:Gail Hershatter: "Rural Women\, Memory\, and China’s Collective Past"
DESCRIPTION:The 47th Annual Faculty Research Lecture will be given by Distinguished Professor of History\, Gail Hershatter\, on Tuesday February 12th\, 2013 at 7pm at the Music Recital hall in the Performing Arts Complex. A reception in the lobby will immediately follow the lecture. Doors open at 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public. Parking $4. Doors open at 6:30pm \nWhat can we learn about the Chinese revolution by placing a doubly marginalized group—rural women—at the center of the inquiry? In this talk\, Gail Hershatter explores changes in the lives of women in rural Shaanxi province during the early decades of state socialism\, the 1950s and 1960s. She suggests that we think of gender not as a structure\, but rather as a fractured\, unpredictable\, and expansive terrain. Beginning with the memories of a former child daughter-in-law turned village activist\, she asks whether rural Chinese women had a revolution\, and if so\, when and what sort of revolution it was. Such questions encourage us to consider others that preoccupy historians: when is gender a useful category of historical analysis? How is the historical record shaped in interactions with the present moment? What counts as an event? Who gets to decide?
