SUMMARY:Ethan Michaeli: The Holocaust and 'The Defender:' Two Generations of Jewish Reporters at a Black Newspaper
DESCRIPTION:Ethan Michaeli will explore how The Chicago Defender\, the nation’s most important African American newspaper for much of the twentieth century\, covered the Holocaust.   During the 1940s\, the newspaper’s multi-racial roster of writers\, including a young Jewish editor named Ben Burns\, connected the struggle of African Americans for equal rights to Nazi persecution of Jews. Burns worked closely with poet Langston Hughes and others who placed the Holocaust in the top rank of their concerns. But Burns\, who had started his journalistic career at the Communist publication The Daily Worker\, did not address the Holocaust directly as a Jew.  Instead\, he subsumed his Jewish identity and re-cast himself as a “black newspaperman\, black in my orientation and thinking\, in my concerns and outlook\, in my friends and associations\, black in everything but my skin color.”  A half-century later\, from 1991-1996\, Ethan Michaeli worked as a copy editor and investigative reporter at The Defender\, during a period in which the newspaper was still one of three dailies in Chicago. For Michaeli\, the child of Holocaust survivors from Hungary\, working at The Defender provided a vantage point to re-evaluate American society\, as well as his own identity. \nBio:  Ethan Michaeli is the author of the forthcoming book\, The Defender: How Chicago’s Legendary Black Newspaper Changed America\, from the Age of the Pullman Porters to the Age of Obama (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\, forthcoming).  In 1991\, Michaeli began working for The Chicago Defender\, the historic African American-owned daily newspaper\, where his investigative reporting on the homeless\, environmental racism\, and police brutality won him awards from the Chicago Association of Black Journalists and the Muhammad Ali Foundation. In 1996\, Ethan launched Residents’ Journal\, an independent news magazine written for and by tenants of Chicago’s low-income public housing developments. He and the staff of Residents’ Journal have won numerous honors\, including the 2006 Studs Terkel Award\, and his writing has appeared in The Nation\, The Chicago Tribune\, In These Times\, and The Forward.  Michaeli’s social justice work is inspired by his parents\, who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp and the Nazi occupation of their native Budapest before emigrating to Israel in 1949 and the United States in 1963.

SUMMARY:Anna Brickhouse: “The Writing of Unsettlement”
DESCRIPTION:This talk discusses the narrative of Hernando Fontaneda de Escalante\, a 16th century former captive and a Creole man born in Cartagena de Indias\, who lived for seventeen years among the Calusa Indians of Florida. His account is considered one of the most extensive repositories of information about the Calusa\, yet it has received little sustained attention from literary scholars. The presentation explores how his text engages juridically with Spanish conquest\, resulting in the emergence of a genre we might call a “narrative of unsettlement.” \nAnna Brickhouse is Professor of English at the University of Virginia. \nSponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies with staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research\, UCSC.

SUMMARY:Deann Borshay Liem: Film: "IN THE MATTER OF CHA JUNG HEE"
DESCRIPTION:The Asian Diasporas Research Cluster at the Institute of Humanities Research is pleased to present the following film screening: \nIN THE MATTER OF CHA JUNG HEE (2010) \npreceded by a documentary short-in-progress on the Korean War\, MEMORY OF THE FORGOTTEN WAR\, \nand followed by Q & A with filmmaker\, Deann Borshay Liem \nPoster available here. \nMONDAY\, NOVEMBER 22\, 2010\, 5 p.m. \nCOMMUNICATIONS 150/STUDIO C \n(building located between Baskin Engineering and College 9/10) \nAbout the film: Her passport said she was Cha Jung Hee. She knew she was not. So began a 40-year deception for a Korean adoptee who came to the US in 1966. Told to keep her true identity a secret from her new American family\, this eight-year-old girl quickly forgot she was ever anyone else. But why had her identity been switched? And who was the real Cha Jung Hee? In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee documents the search to find answers. Part mystery\, part personal odyssey\, the film follows acclaimed filmmaker\, Deann Borshay Liem\, as she returns to her native Korea to find her “double\,” the mysterious girl whose place she took in America. Traversing landscapes of memory\, amnesia\, and identity\, while also uncovering layers of deception in her adoption\, Borshay Liem’s moving and provocative film probes the ethics of international adoption and reveals the costs of living a lie. \nAbout the filmmaker: Deann Borshay Liem has over twenty years experience working in development\, production\, and distribution of independent documentaries. She is producer\, director\, and writer for the Emmy Award-nominated documentary\, First Person Plural (Sundance\, 2000)\, and executive producer for Spencer Nakasako’s Kelly Loves Tony (PBS\, 1998) and AKA Don Bonus (PBS\, 1996\, Emmy Award). She served as co-producer for Special Circumstances (PBS\, 2009)\, which follows Chilean exile\, Hector Salgado\, as he attempts to reconcile with former interrogators and torturers in Chile. She was the former director of the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) where she supervised the development\, distribution\, and broadcast of new films for public television and worked with Congress to support minority representation in public media. A Sundance Institute Fellow and a recipient of a Rockefeller Film/Video Fellowship\, Borshay Liem is the director\, producer\, and writer of the new feature-length documentary\, In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee. \nCo-sponsored by Oakes College\, the Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center\, the Department of Film and Digital Media\, the Social Documentation Program\, the Department of History\, and Stevenson College\, this event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Dean Mathiowetz: “Haptic Hierarchy: Luxury as Political Affect”
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores luxury as one way that hierarchy\, social distance\, and subordination are felt affectively by bodies in consumption-oriented societies. The project seeks to upend a tradition of social thought that interprets luxury consumption as an other-directed\, visually-mediated\, and easily-subverted “language” of hierarchy and class. Professor Mathiowetz is a political theorist and the author of Appeals to Interest: Language\, Contestation\, and Political Agency (Penn State\, 2011). \nDean Mathiowetz is Associate Professor of Politics at UCSC. \nSponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies with staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research\, UCSC.

SUMMARY:The University We Are For
DESCRIPTION:Please see full posterfor speaker list and complete announcement! \nThe academy has been under considerable pressure recently\, both fiscally and fueled by new pressures on\nknowledge formation\, and on pedagogical\, and organizational form. The university as such has come into\nquestion\, both within and without. This understandably has prompted both anxiety and critical responses\namong faculty\, students\, research and administrative staff. At the same time\, there has been much less\nfocus on the university we might be for\, that which we might work together to promote\, whether in the\ntradition of Bishop Newman’s or Jan Pelikan’s reflections on “the idea of the university” or in Jacques\nDerrida’s critical conception of the university without condition. The distinguished panel will lead a\ndiscussion of “the university we are for”. Please join us in the second of a series on what should be a\ndynamic discussion of a set of issues crucial to the contemporary academy. \nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

SUMMARY:Joan Judge: "The Courtesan’s Other: Visibility\, Sexuality\, and the Republican Lady in Early Twentieth Century China"
DESCRIPTION:In this richly illustrated lecture\, Joan Judge explores the emergence of “Republican Ladies\,” a new group of women in early twentieth century China\, who were more visible than their talented late imperial forebears and more respectable than their infamously public courtesan contemporaries. She draws upon photographs and texts that appeared in China’s first commercial women’s journal\, Funü shibao 婦女時報 (The women’s eastern times\, Shanghai 1911-1917)\, a journal committed to calling the new Republican woman into being. In her talk\, Judge probes the links between this self-conscious reconstitution of Chinese womanhood and the constitution of early Republican culture and politics. \nPoster available here. \nJoan Judge\, Associate Professor in the Department of History and Division of Humanities\, York University\, Toronto

SUMMARY:Ruth Mueller: “Bound to Nothing but Science Itself?  Academic Life Science Careers and the Nomadic Disposable Research Scientist”
DESCRIPTION:Ruth Mueller is a contract researcher at the Department of Social Studies of Science and a lecturer at the Faculty of Life Sciences and the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Vienna. \nShe will present: “Bound to Nothing but Science Itself?  Academic Life Science Careers and the Nomadic Disposable Research Scientist\,” at UCSC on Wednesday\, October 20\, 2010. \nDonna Haraway has argued that “the exclusion of the non-independent person” (Haraway 1997) has been constitutive for the social organization of the emerging modern sciences\, practically excluding everyone but the bourgeois white man from participating in scientific knowledge production\, in part because the multiple others were perceived as socially and emotionally bound\, attached and tied. Drawing on recent research work in Austria and the US\, this talk will look into how independence\, tielessness and detachment are essential features of the scientific self in the contemporary socio-epistemic configurations of the academic life sciences. It look at how the ideal scientific person – especially in fast growing\, highly global and increasingly commercialized fields such as the life sciences – is still imagined as being tied to nothing but science itself\, happily subordinating other interests in life to the scientific vocation. \nAgainst a backdrop of rising competition for academic positions\, it seems that in the life sciences and in academia beyond\, increasingly normative ideas are emerging about what a scientist’s life course should look like in order to qualify for a career in science. Central elements of this normative vision include engaging in international mobility and global competition\, as well as submitting to ongoing procedures of evaluation\, application and selection. Together\, these requirements constitute a kind of “blueprint” for measuring the quality of the scientists’ work and the suitability of their lives for careers in research – a blueprint which has become institutionalized in the employment and assessment policies of contemporary academic institutions. \nThese contemporary career rationales both draw on and rework the notion of the detached\, independent\, tieless scientists on a number of levels\, participating in the shaping of a nomadic\, disposable research scientist who is accumulating nothing “but the absence of inhibition\, a sort of free energy prepared to invest itself anywhere.” (Latour 1984) \nHowever\, at any given moment in time\, these scientists are also part of specific local collectives – such as research group\, project teams – in which they work and live. This paper will explore how young scientists make sense of these different forms of collectivity in their local research environments\, given the current career rationales that emphasise individualism\, competition\, mobility and tielessness. I will argue that what we are currently witnessing is a trend towards the institutionalization of highly fragile and exploitative social relations in academic settings and of a “devil-may-care” mentality towards colleagues\, groups and institutions that young scientists increasingly consider an obligatory trait for making a career in the life sciences today.

SUMMARY:Angela Davis: Legacies in the Making
DESCRIPTION:Recognizing the Academic\, Activist and Cultural Interventions of a Contemporary Visionary\nFor almost four decades\, Angela Y. Davis’s scholarship and activism has defined the meaning and practice of being a public intellectual and has radically transformed many sites of knowledge production\, including the positioning of the U.S. academy as a site of intervention and social transformation. Few professors have had such a broad impact in their fields of expertise or on the world in their lifetimes. This gathering of her former students\, in conversation with scholars nationally\, maps the impact of her vision on issues such as democratic theory\, philosophy\, Marxism\, cultural studies/popular culture\, social policy\, race\, class\, and feminisms. Professor Davis has also trained students as activist scholars for almost four decades in both university systems in California. We thus convene this conference to examine the poetics and politics of Professor Davis’s pedagogy in California over the past forty years (1969-2009) and to consider how her role as an activist-scholar-teacher bridges the academy/community divide and dismantles the false dichotomy of theory/praxis. \nOne focus of the event will be to highlight cultural production that has emerged in conversation with the writing and theorizing that Angela Davis has facilitated and inspired. We are inviting Professor Davis’ colleagues\, friends\, and family to provide video messages recognizing her considerable on-going contributions to academic and activist work; these will be compiled into a montage to be screened at the symposium. The event\, as a whole\, will be recorded\, and we plan to liaise with the California Documentary Fund to translate those records into a multi-media resource for education. There will also be an evening of music and poetry in honor of Professor Davis and her contributions to cultural “legacies in the making.” \nSaturday\, October 31\, 2009\nHumanities Lecture Hall \n9:00 am – Breakfast \n9:15 am – Screening The Fire This Time\, a trailer of a film by Blair Doroshwalther \n9:45 am – Welcome \n10:00 am – Panel 1: Voices of Resistance\nFacilitator: Rashad Shabazz\, George Washington Henderson Post Doctoral Fellow\, Geography\, University of Vermont \nW.
