SUMMARY:Complicated Labors: Feminism\, Maternity\, and Creative Practice (Symposium & Gallery Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:The Complicated Labor Research Cluster is an interdisciplinary collaboration that brings together artists\, writers\, and scholars around questions of feminism\, maternity\, and creative process. It seeks to center questions of care in our research and art whether they are explicit sites of inspiration and study or simply important to the conditions in which we undertake expressive practices. Through film\, visual art and photography\, performance\, writing\, and scholarship we will explore the complexities of contemporary motherhood. \nThis symposium\, with keynote address by foundational feminist artist Mary Kelly\, will create a space for critical interdisciplinary dialogue around issues of maternity\, feminism\, art-making\, and writing\, explicitly putting the 1970s in conversation with the current moment and putting writers in conversation with visual artists. The symposium is on Feb 5th from 10am-5pm at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) Light Lab and will be followed by a gallery exhibition and reception from 5-7pm at the Sesnon Art Gallery. \nSymposium – Feb 5 @ 10:00am-5:00pm\nDigital Arts Research Center (DARC) Light Lab\, UCSC\nFree and Open to the Public \nNearly forty years after Mary Kelly’s germinal 1976 exhibition of Post-Partum Document\, the work of women artists who explicitly engage with images\, processes\, and experiences of maternity remains marginalized and relatively misrecognized in the art world.  Despite a notable resurgence of attention to the maternal in 21st Century art theory and practice\, such work is more often than not\, read inside a discourse of indulgence\, sentimentality\, and identity rather than as representative of larger concerns with ecological systems\, ethics\, care\, or labor.  Complicated Labors investigates this problem\, bringing together historical and contemporary work addressing maternal labor to ask questions about the status of feminism — and feminist art — today. \nGallery Reception – Feb 5 @ 5:00-7:00pm\nSesnon Art Gallery\, UCSC\nComplicated Labors Gallery Exhibition runs from February 5 – March 15\, 2014 \nComplicated Labors builds on recent group exhibitions on the topic\, including Myrel Chernick’s and Jennie Klein’s 2004 and 2006 Maternal Metaphors and Maternal Metaphors II and Natalie Loveless’s 2010 New Maternalisms.  This exhibition addresses recent books such as Andrea Liss’s 2009 Feminist Art and the Maternal\, new journals such as Studies in the Maternal\, and new collectives such as Broodwork. \nSymposium Schedule:\n\n10:00 AM – Welcome (Micah Perks and Irene Lusztig) \n10:30 AM – Mary Kelly Keynote (opening remarks) \n11AM: Maternal Interventions (artist panel and discussion) \n12:30 – LUNCH \n2:30 PM – Maternal Secrets (writer panel and discussion) \n4:15 PM Closing Remarks by Megan Moodie \n5:00 – 7:00 PM Opening reception\, Sesnon Gallery (with performance by Alejandra Herrera Silva) \nAll events are free and open to the public. \nSymposium & Gallery Participants:\nKeynote:\nMary Kelly is an American conceptual artist\, feminist\, writer\, and professor of art and critical theory in the School of Art and Architecture at UCLA. \nWriters:\nAmra Brooks was born and raised in California.

SUMMARY:Steven J. Zipperstein: "How the 1903 Kishinev Pogrom Changed Jewish History"
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Diller Family Endowment Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies presents:\nSteven J. Zipperstein: “How the 1903 Kishinev Pogrom Changed Jewish History” \nKishinev’s 1903 pogrom was the first instance when an event in Russian Jewish life received wide hearing. The riot\, leaving 49 dead\, in an obscure border town\, dominated headlines in the western world for weeks\, it intruded on US-Russian relations\, and it left an imprint on an astonishingly diverse range of institutions including the nascent Jewish army in Palestine\, the NAACP\, and\, most likely\, the first version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. How was it that incident came to define so much\, and for so long? \nSteven J. Zipperstein is the Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History at Stanford University. He has also taught at universities in Russia\, Poland\, France\, and Israel; for six years\, he taught at Oxford University. For sixteen years he was Director of the Taube Center for Jewish Studies at Stanford. He is the author and editor of eight books including The Jews of Odessa: A Cultural History (1986\, winner of the Smilen Prize for the Outstanding book in Jewish history); Elusive Prophet: Ahad Ha’am and the Origins of Zionism (1993\, winner of the National Jewish Book Award); Imagining Russian Jewry (1999); and Rosenfeld’s Lives: Fame\, Oblivion\, and the Furies of Writing (2008\, shortlisted for the National Jewish Book Award in Biography\, Autobiography and Memoir). His work has been translated into Russian\, Hebrew\, and French. He has been awarded the Leviant Prize of the Modern Language Association\, the Judah Magnes Gold Medal of the American Friends of the Hebrew University\, and the Koret Prize for Outstanding Contributions to the American Jewish community. Zipperstein’s articles have appeared in The New York Times Sunday Book Review\, the Washington Post\, The New Republic\, the Jewish Review of Books\, Chronicle of Higher Education and elsewhere. He is an editor of the journal Jewish Social Studies\, the book series Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture\, and the Yale University Press/Leon Black Foundation Jewish Lives series. In spring 2013\, he will be the first Jacob Kronhill Visiting Scholar at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. Zipperstein is Chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History\, in New York.\nEvery year we honor Helen Diller\, whose generous endowment continues to provide crucial support to Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, by hosting a public lecture series on campus by an internationally recognized scholar. \nThis event was made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Kristin Ross: "Notes on the 'Cellular Regime of Nationality': Internationalism & The Paris Commune"
DESCRIPTION:The talk is taken from Communal Luxury (forthcoming from Editions La fabrique). Ross discusses the political imaginary that fueled and outlived the Paris Commune of 1871\, here considered within frames provided by contemporary militant concerns: the problem of refashioning an internationalist conjuncture; the future of education\, labor and the status of art; the commune-form and its relation to ecological theory. The “communal luxury” produced by the Commune’s “working existence” was prolonged and elaborated in the political thought produced in the 1870s and the 1880s\, when Communard exiles met up and collaborated with a number of their supporters and fellow travelers\, notably Marx\, Kropotkin and William Morris. \nKristin Ross is Professor of Comparative Literature at New York University. She is the author of The Emergence of Social Space: Rimbaud and the Paris Commune (1988); Fast Cars\, Clean Bodies: Decolonization and the Reordering of French Culture (1995); and May ’68 and its Afterlives (2002). \nThis talk is presented by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster\, and the History of Consciousness and Literature Departments.

SUMMARY:Kathryn Pruitt: "Culminativity in Harmonic Serialism"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk considers the typology of word-headedness in languages with iterative stress and discusses a traditional classification of such systems—top-down vs. bottom-up (Hayes 1995)—in the context of Harmonic Serialism (McCarthy 2010). In some languages the primary stress is autonomous\, having properties that are different from those of its secondary stresses\, which has been used to argue against bottom-up metrification in serial theories (van der Hulst 1984\, 1997\, 2009\, Bailey 1995). Other languages\, however\, show a primary stress which is clearly parasitic on secondary stresses\, which follows straightforwardly from a bottom-up theory but is incompatible with a top-down one (Hayes 1995). To account for both autonomous and parasitic culminativity in Harmonic Serialism\, this talk outlines the following proposals: (1) primary stress assignment can and must happen simultaneously with foot-building\, in a basically top-down fashion\, and (2) the primary stress must be allowed to move to another foot in the course of a derivation. In other words\, the conclusion will be that attested patterns of primary stress assignment provide evidence for limited parallelism in stress\, even when general metrification\, and the grammar itself\, is otherwise serial. Allowing limited parallelism without giving up serialism altogether is also defended\, as the predicted typology of culminativity in a serial theory with limited parallelism is shown to be superior to that of theory with unrestricted parallelism. \nReferences \nBailey\, Todd Mark (1995).

SUMMARY:Politics of the Digital: Poetry\, Technology\, and the University
DESCRIPTION:This two-day event includes a poetry reading and an interdisciplinary symposium featuring graduate students\, faculty\, and a keynote from Johanna Drucker. \nFriday\, January 31\, 2014: Poetry reading at 6 p.m. at the Felix Kulpa Gallery \nFeaturing Johanna Drucker with Eireene Nealand\, Margaret Rhee\, and Tsering Wangmo \nSaturday\, February 1\, 2014: Interdisciplinary symposium at Humanities 1\, room 210 \nPanel One: Textual and Visual Technologies—Pre-Histories of a Digital Era \nPanel Two: Digital Practice and Database Aesthetics \nPanel Three: Neoliberalism and the Digital Future \nKeynote from Johanna Drucker: Towards a New Humanism \nThe activities associated with the term “digital humanities” have gained much attention recently in academic and mainstream venues. But have core values of humanism been discounted as a result? Do the techniques of analytic processing or other engagements with large data displace or devalue those of more traditional method and even\, perhaps\, traffic in the worst kind of concessions to administered culture? Might these digital approaches be at odds with the tenets of humanistic inquiry? What are the ways out of a binaristic opposition between a retro-oriented\, possibly conservative\, defense of “the humanities” and a techno-digital approach that seems to some to dehumanize cultural materials by treating them as “data”? The answer might be in recovering the methods of humanism\, rather than just its objects. Engagement with the materiality of texts and artifacts crosses many disciplinary lines—from traditional critical studies\, bibliography\, and law to current studies of media archaeology\, new materialism\, and digital interpretation. This talk addresses ways in which the cultural authority of the humanities might be formulated as a new humanism whose methods and values extend traditional interpretative work while taking up some of the potential offered by data-driven and algorithm-based approaches to the study of human culture. \nReception at the Kresge Provost House \nMore info and full agenda available at http://www.ucscpoetrypolitics.com/upcoming-events.html

SUMMARY:North French Hebrew Miscellany
DESCRIPTION:Come to Special Collections to look at and learn about a spectacular book recently acquired by Special Collections.\nUCSC Special Collections has recently acquired a facsimile of one of the world’s most important medieval Jewish manuscripts\, the North French Hebrew Miscellany. \nThe manuscript was written and lavishly illustrated in northern France in about 1280 at a time of upheaval for the Jews of Europe. Comprising almost 1500 pages with 84 different groups of texts\, this small volume served as a portable library. The texts include scripture\, daily prayers\, mahzor\, the Passover Haggadah\, religious poetry\, blessings\, calendars\, formularies for legal deeds and the earliest known copy of Isaac de Corbeil’s Sefer Mitsvot Katan\, composed in 1277. Three to five artists worked with the scribe to decorate and illuminate the manuscript\, most likely in or near Troyes. It is now housed in the British Library. \nPlease join us on  to welcome this wonderful addition to Special Collections – the facsimile will be on display and Professors Sharon Kinoshita and Gildas Hamel will share their expertise with us.

SUMMARY:Silvia Perpiñan: "Microparametric variation among Romance languages: the L2 acquisition of Spanish locative and existential constructions by Catalan and Italian speakers"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Selection of copula verbs in Spanish is a classic challenging area for L2 learners. Even so\, it has received moderate attention on SLA research\, and most of the studies have focused on the acquisition of the semantic and pragmatic distinctions between ser and estar\, particularly when combined with adjectives (Bruhn de Garavito & Valenzuela\, 2006; Geeslin\, 2002; 2003; Schmitt & Miller\, 2007; among others). The present study goes beyond the alternation between ser and estar + adjective by looking at the selection of copula verbs to express location\, and existentials. \nFollowing Freeze (1992)\, I assume a universal locative paradigm with three surface structures that imply the use of three different verbs in Spanish: estar for the predicate locative when the subject is an object (1)\, and ser when it is an event (2); the existential with haber (2); and the possessive or ‘have’ using tener. \nThree microparametric differences among Spanish\, Italian\, and Catalan are investigated\, which regulate (a) the distribution of ser vs. estar in locatives (the eventiveness effect\, which does not exist in Standard Catalan or Italian)\, (b) the distribution of haber vs. estar (the definiteness effect\, Milsark\, 1977\, which is only obeyed in Spanish)\, and (c) the use of clitics in locatives (Spanish does not have a locative clitic\, whereas in Catalan and Italian it is obligatory). Given these differences\, we question whether L2 speakers of Spanish are able to fully acquire the distribution of estar in locative predicates and observe the restriction on definite DPs in Spanish existential constructions. Furthermore\, we wonder how the bilingual mind will restructure her clitic system into a reduced morphological paradigm with no partitive or locative clitics. \nThe present study analyzes the expression of L2 Spanish existential and locative constructions in 20 native speakers of Catalan\, 34 native speakers of Italian (from Rome)\, and 20 monolingual Spanish speakers with two main tasks\, an Acceptability Judgment Task and an elicited oral production task. Results indicated that L2 learners used significantly less ester to express location than native speakers\, showing that this verb develops later than ser as previously reported for English (VanPatten\, 1985\, 1987)\, and as predicted by recent analyses of the copular ser/estar (Brucart\, 2012; Gallego & Uriagereka\, 2011). Nonetheless\, Italian speakers also overgeneralized estar to localize events\, and in existential constructions\, when ser or haber are required in Spanish. \nFinally\, Italian speakers of intermediate proficiency\, and some Catalan speakers continued using ser to localize objects. More interestingly\, both L2 groups accepted definite DPs in presentational sentences\, violating the definiteness effect\, displaying problems when assembling semantic features into specific lexical pieces. These results will be discussed within the debate on dissociation between acquisition of syntax and acquisition of semantics\, and the feature assembly or feature matching hypothesis (Lardiere\, 2008\, 2009; Slabakova\, 2009).\nSpeaker: Silvia Perpiñan is Assistant Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Western Ontario.

SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: The House with Laughing Windows
DESCRIPTION:The House with Laughing Windows (1976\, dir. Pupi Avati) – a moody and masterful giallo (Italian thriller / mystery / slasher film)\nOne of the most remarkable (albeit atypical) examples of a giallo (Italian mystery-thriller-slasher film) out there\, Pupi Avati’s The House with Laughing Windows is a masterpiece of mood and ambient creepiness whose ability to stretch an atmosphere of queasy apprehension to the absolute breaking point over the course of a feature-length film is probably second only to Nicholas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now\, made just three years previously. A young art historian named Stefano (Lino Capolicchio) comes to a remote Italian village to restore some twentieth-century frescos that depict the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian in an old church. Some rumors suggest that the deceased artist of the works actually tortured and murdered his real-life models. Meanwhile\, Stefano’s efforts to restore the frescoes get sidetracked by all the locals who have secrets they want to share with him but cannot because they keep dying under mysterious circumstances before they can actually get down to the business of telling him much of anything. This is a movie whose tensions and uneasiness build and build and build . . . Not to be missed!\nMisfit Horror is a film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly.

SUMMARY:Gabriela Zapata: "Investigating the Connection between Learning and Assessment: Formative Assessment in Intermediate L2 Spanish Classes"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This paper investigates the connection between learning and assessment by examining the implementation of ACTFL’s Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) in intermediate\, L2 Spanish classes. There were 880 students who participated in this classroom-based study. This presentation will discuss the following: 1) the theoretical and pedagogical bases of IPA; 2) the materials and tasks that were created; 3) the steps followed for its successful implementation; and 4) the results of a study on students’ and instructors’ perceptions of IPA and the relationship between classroom content and assessment. In addition\, we will compare the results of IPA-based assessment tools with those from previous\, more traditional evaluation tools. \nGabriela Zapata is Associate Professor and Director of Spanish and Portuguese Language Programs at the University of Southern California.

SUMMARY:Annie Gagliardi: "Grammar-parser tension in language acquisition: Evidence from Q'anjob'al relative clauses"
DESCRIPTION:Built into the grammatical architecture of any language we find constraints on possible structures. The processing system that uses these structures appears to have inherent preferences in how we interpret them. By looking at a domain where there exists tension between what constraint a learner might expect their language to conform to and the interpretations that are easier to arrive at\, we can learn more about what a learner’s own abilities and expectations contribute to language acquisition. In this talk we look at one case where grammatical constraints pull in the opposite direction of the preferences of the system using those constraints: A-bar extraction of transitive subjects. In particular\, we look at the comprehension of relative clauses by children and adults in Q’anjob’al\, Mayan language where extraction of ergative marked subjects is reportedly banned. Results of a comprehension experiment with adults and children suggest that this tension does affect language acquisition\, and may effect language change. \nAnnie Gagliardi is a Linguistics Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University. \n

SUMMARY:Martin Devecka: "Some Ends of the City: Ruins and Utopia in the Ancient World"
DESCRIPTION:The Literature Department invites you to attend a talk held in conjunction with the search for a position in Mediterranean Studies: Ancient Comparative \nWhy do ruins happen? Are they caused by natural catastrophes\, invasions\, economic collapse\, state failure\, or by something else? This talk will address these questions from a new perspective\, integrating sociological comparison of ancient societies including Arabia\, Athens\, and Rome with analysis of ancient writings about ruins to suggest that literary fantasies about post-urban life may play as important a part in bringing about the destruction of cities as any of the causes conventionally invoked by historians. \nMartin Devecka is a Mellon Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University\, where he received his Ph.D. in Classics and Comparative Literature in 2012. He has taught there and at Brown University on subjects ranging from Latin political thought to Greco-Roman zoology. His research interests include animals\, the history of technology\, and the cultures of the Red Sea.

SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: Who Can Kill a Child?
DESCRIPTION:Misfit Horror  \nA film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \n  \nJanuary 19th – Who Can Kill a Child? One of the most disturbing horror films from a decade that was conspicuously filled with them\, Who Can Kill a Child? takes The Birds (1963) and replaces Alfred Hitchcock’s bloodthirsty birds with an island full of homicidal children. Directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (whose other horror film of note is the wonderfully sordid and atmospheric The House That Screamed from 1969)\, this Spanish production opens with a documentary montage of atrocity footage from around the world (the Holocaust\, the Korean War\, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971\, etc.) to polemically motivate the reasons why the children of the small island of Almanzora have collectively murdered the adult population there. Arriving in Almanzora on holiday\, the baby-expecting couple of Tom (Lewis Fiander) and Evelyn (Prunella Ransome) discover that the island appears to be deserted. Shops are untended\, no bellboys are waiting in the foyers of the island’s hotels\, restaurants are totally devoid of patrons or servers. The benign suspicion that the inhabitants are all on siesta\, however\, soon shifts to doubts and fears about the children who start to appear everywhere. Though not a gory film\, Who Can Kill a Child? remains a supremely unsettling film that will linger with you for a long time\, like it or lump it. Not to be missed! \n  \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados.

SUMMARY:Marcela Depiante: "Preposition Stranding in Heritage Speakers of Spanish: Implications for the Interface Hypothesis"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn this talk\, we discuss the properties of Heritage Languages by examining Preposition Stranding in the Spanish of Heritage\nspeakers versus monolingual speakers of Spanish. We discuss the implications of this work for the Interface Hypothesis (Sorace 2000\, Tsimpli and Sorace 2006) as applied to Heritage speakers (Montrul 2009\, Montrul & Polinsky 2011) according to which changes in Heritage speaker syntax are restricted to areas of the grammar where the syntax interfaces with interpretable domains such as discourse/pragmatics. \nSince the possibility of preposition stranding constructions is one of purely syntactic features\, this hypothesis predicts that Heritage speakers of Spanish should not show variation from monolingual Spanish speakers with respect to these constructions. However\, the data that will be presented will show that they do and they do so in different syntactic contexts and with different types of prepositions. The data argues against extending the Interface Hypothesis to Heritage Speakers. \nIn addition\, we do not interpret the data found in this study of Spanish Heritage speakers as instances of incomplete acquisition. Instead\, the variation we observe between Heritage speakers and monolingual Spanish speakers with respect to the possibility of preposition stranding can be seen as variation between speakers of different varieties of Spanish and used as a further source of insight into the human language faculty. \nSpeaker: Marcela Depiante is Assistant Professor of Spanish at the University of Wisconsin\, Eau Claire

SUMMARY:Lisa Pearl: "More learnable than thou? Testing knowledge representations with realistic acquisition data"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: One (often implicit) motivation for a linguistic knowledge representation (e.g.\, a set of linguistic parameters or constraints) comes from an argument from acquisition\, where language acquisition is assumed to be straightforward if children’s hypothesis space is defined by the correct knowledge representation. Acquisition then becomes the process of selecting the correct language-specific grammar from that hypothesis space\, based on the language input encountered. I discuss quantitative metrics based on an argument from acquisition for comparing knowledge representations and the grammars they define. These metrics involve assessing grammar learnability from realistic input data\, and I use them to evaluate three prominent knowledge representations in the domain of metrical phonology that each define a grammar for English. Somewhat surprisingly\, I discover that learnability issues arise for the English grammars in all three representations. I discuss aspects of the proposed English grammars that may be hurting learnability as well as ways a child may still be able to learn the proposed English grammars from English input. \nLisa Pearl is Assistant Professor of Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine. \n

SUMMARY:Warren Montag: “The Revocation of the Right to Subsistence: On the Legal and Political Origins of the Market”
DESCRIPTION:Warren Montag is the Brown Family Professor of Literature\, English Department\, Occidental College. He has published widely on French and Italian thought of the 1960s and 1970s\, especially Louis Althusser\, as well as on literature and philosophy of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries: Descartes\, Hobbes\, Spinoza\, Locke\, Swift\, and Adam Smith. His most recent book is Althusser and His Contemporaries: Philosophy’s Perpetual War (Duke University Press\,2013)\, and he has also published translations of Althusser\, Pierre Macherey\, and Étienne Balibar. His forthcoming book\, co-authored with Mike Hill\, is “The Other Adam Smith: Popular Contention\, Commercial Society and the Birth of Necro-Economics” (Stanford University Press). \nThis event is part of “The Origins of Civil Society” organized by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster. The development of the discipline of political economy\, including its dialogue with modern political philosophy\, is closely intertwined with the rise and expansion of capitalist society. As we turn our attention today to capitalism’s crisis tendencies and the future of market society\, a critical examination of this foundational history becomes the starting point of the analysis of the present. This lecture series addresses the origins of civil society from several vantage points: the legal and political forms that underlie market relations; the transformation of the labor process; the role of gender and reproductive labor; and the history of separation from the means of subsistence. \nAdditional events in this series:\nFeb 6\, 2014 – Kathi Weeks: “The Problem with Work: Feminism\, Marxism\, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries”\nMar 6\, 2014 – Michael Perelman: “Primitive Accumulation: From Adam Smith to Angela Merkel” \nPresented by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster.

SUMMARY:Berenice Darwich: "Continuity and discontinuity in syntactic patterns in New York City.  A look at co-referential complex sentences"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Berenice Darwich\, Hispanic Linguistics\, CUNY Colleges; New York\, New York.\nAbstract: \nThe variable phenomenon of subject expression\, specifically in the second clause of co-referential complex sentences\, is analyzed in a subset of interviews of Mexican and Dominican Spanish speakers from the Otheguy and Zentella corpus of Spanish in New York City. \nBy taking into account the generation of speakers (first and second) and the syntactic hierarchy of the second clause (main or subordinate)\, the study will address the following questions: \nIs there pattern continuity in regards to subject expression in contexts of co-reference among generation of speakers?\nIs there an influence of English in regards to this pattern in second generation speakers?\nIs there a correlation between subject expression and the syntactic hierarchy of a clause across geographical varieties? \nThe hypothesis that guides this investigation is that in this context\, subject pronoun expression in the second clause is an instrument to signal the principal information of a message\, carried in the main clause of a complex sentence. \nResults confirm previous studies regarding this variable phenomenon in Spanish in general and in New York City: Dominican Spanish speakers favor pronoun subject expression more than Mexican Spanish speakers\, even in the second clause of co-referential complex sentences. When we look at the frequencies by each geographical variety in this very specific context\, the distributional differences allow a classification of the varieties in two different groups (Mexican pattern and Dominican pattern). But this trend does not hold when the generational group is considered\, showing a reverse pattern in the second generation Dominican speakers. \nThese findings confirm partially the hypothesis since it is only the first generation Dominicans who do not use subject pronoun expression as a mean to signal hierarchical syntactic information.

SUMMARY:Julia Phillips Cohen: "Becoming Ottomans: Sephardi Jews and Imperial Citizenship in the Modern Era"
DESCRIPTION:The Ottoman-Jewish story has long been told as a romance between Jews and the empire. The prevailing view is that Ottoman Jews were protected and privileged by imperial policies and in return offered their unflagging devotion to the imperial government over many centuries. In this talk\, Julia Phillips Cohen offers a corrective\, arguing that Jewish leaders who promoted this vision did so in response to a series of reforms enacted by the nineteenth-century Ottoman state: the new equality they gained came with a new set of expectations. Ottoman subjects were suddenly to become imperial citizens\, to consider their neighbors as brothers and their empire as a homeland. Yet the process was not seamless: as they sought to teach each other how to become modern citizens of their state\, Ottoman Jews soon learned that their patriotic project could entail uncomfortable choices and disturbing consequences. \nCharting Ottoman Jews’ responses to these developments\, this talk provides new perspectives for understanding Jewish encounters with modernity and citizenship in a centralizing\, modernizing Islamic state and an imperial\, multi-faith landscape. \nJulia Phillips Cohen is Assistant Professor in the Program in Jewish Studies and the Department of History at Vanderbilt University. She is the author of Becoming Ottomans: Sephardi Jews and Imperial Citizenship in the Modern Era (New York: Oxford University Press\, 2014)\, and\, together with Sarah Abrevaya Stein\, editor of Sephardi Lives: A Documentary History\, 1700-1950 (Stanford: Stanford University Press\, 2014). \nPresented by the Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Chair Lisbeth Haas - Saints & Citizens: Book Reading & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Saints and Citizens is a bold new excavation of the history of Indigenous people in California in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries\, showing how the missions became sites of their authority\, memory\, and identity. Shining a forensic eye on colonial encounters in Chumash\, Luiseño\, and Yokuts territories\, Lisbeth Haas depicts how native painters incorporated their cultural iconography in mission painting and how leaders harnessed new knowledge for control in other ways. Through her portrayal of highly varied societies\, she explores the politics of Indigenous citizenship in the independent Mexican nation through events such as the Chumash War of 1824\, native emancipation after 1826\, and the political pursuit of Indigenous rights and land through 1848. \nLisbeth Haas is Professor of History and Chair of Feminist Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, and author of Pablo Tac\, Indigenous Scholar: Writing on Luiseño Language and Colonial History\, c. 1840 (UC Press\, 2011) and Conquests and Historical Identities in California\, 1769–1936 (UC Press\, 1995). Professor Haas’s research interests include local histories of globalization\, indigenous histories of California\, subaltern scholars and their writing and painting\, Spanish colonial and Mexican California\, the Borderlands – especially the U.S. and Mexico\, the Colonial Americas\, California Studies\, Global Histories of Race\, Ethnicity\, and Diaspora\, Gendered Stories. \nThere will be a small reception following the reading.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Capitalism and Marxist Critique
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nTo inaugurate a year of events\, the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism research cluster is holding a panel which follows two interrelated threads. The first is the analysis of capitalism as a system\, from its origins to its contemporary transformations. This analysis extends across disciplines and theoretical orientations\, and one goal of this interdisciplinary panel is to represent the wide range of approaches that UCSC faculty are taking in their research into capitalism. The second thread is the reexamination of Marxist theory. Throughout its history Marxism has extended into a range of fields\, from sociology to literary criticism\, and has remained a crucial reference point for theory which seeks to understand social life historically. This panel will extend the historical analysis to Marxism itself\, critically reexamining its evolution and its engagement with its changing social and political context. \nPanelists include: \n\nMiriam Greenberg\, Associate Professor of Sociology: “Crisis-Driven Urbanization and Contemporary Capitalism”\nJonathan Beecher\, Professor Emeritus of History: “David Riazanov and the Marx-Engels Institute”\nTyrus Miller\, Professor of Literature\, Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies: “Theaters of History: Drama\, Action\, and Historical Agency in the Work of György Lukács\nNeda Atanasoski\, Associate Professor of Feminist Studies: “Revolutions and Networks: Technology and the Social Body after Socialism”\nModerated by Gopal Balakrishnan\, Associate Professor of History of Consciousness\n\n  \nUpcoming event series: “The Origins of Civil Society” \nThe development of the discipline of political economy\, including its dialogue with modern political philosophy\, is closely intertwined with the rise and expansion of capitalist society. As we turn our attention today to capitalism’s crisis tendencies and the future of market society\, a critical examination of this foundational history becomes the starting point of the analysis of the present. This lecture series addresses the origins of civil society from several vantage points: the legal and political forms that underlie market relations; the transformation of the labor process; the role of gender and reproductive labor; and the history of separation from the means of subsistence. \nJan 16\, 2014 – Warren Montag: “The Revocation of the Right to Subsistence: On the Legal and Political Origins of the Market” \nFeb 6\, 2014 – Kathi Weeks: “The Problem with Work: Feminism\, Marxism\, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries” \nMar 6\, 2014 – Michael Perelman: “Primitive Accumulation: From Adam Smith to Angela Merkel” \nPresented by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster.

SUMMARY:Language Program Colloquium with Midori Ishida
DESCRIPTION:This paper explores the issue of roles of social interaction for developing pragmatic competence in a second language. As an example\, it examines interactions between a learner of Japanese and native speakers\, focusing on ‘receipts’\, or a kind of listener responses (e.g. soo desu ne [That’s true]). A learner’s conversations recorded during one-year study abroad in Japan and recorded in the U.S. before and after the period were analyzed using conversation analysis. Even though corrective feedback was rarely provided to the learner’s inappropriate receipt use\, his interlocutor’s next-turn action served as implicit feedback and provided him an opportunity for a more competent action. Moreover\, although not interactionally modified\, the interlocutor’s utterances and embodied actions provide comprehensible linguistic resources that the L2 speaker can draw on when performing similar actions. \nMidori Ishida earned her Ph.D. in Second Language Acquisition at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Her research interests include interlanguage pragmatics\, conversation analysis\, and the roles of interaction in second language acquisition. Her works have been published in Language Learning\, Pragmatics and Language Learning\, the Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics\, and other edited books. She is currently teaching Japanese at Santa Clara University.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Sarah Rebolloso McCullough: "Groovin' and Movin': Mountain Biking\, Counterculture\, and the Grateful Dead"
DESCRIPTION:What does mountain biking have to do with the Grateful Dead? This talk will discuss the intricate role the counterculture played upon the innovation of mountain biking\, begun in the hills of Marin county in the early 1970s. The scene and culture surrounding the Grateful Dead and the San Francisco music scene proved crucial to building the social networks and bodily desires from which mountain biking emerged. \nSarah Rebolloso McCullough studies the role of bodily sensation and ability in the making of technology and the built environment. McCullough is the Associate Director of the Center for the Humanities at UC San Diego and received her PhD in Cultural Studies from UC Davis. She has published articles in Fashion Theory and thirdspace: a journal of feminist theory & culture (available online)\, and is currently working on a manuscript on the origins of mountain biking. She is also the curator of the Mountain Biking History & Culture Archive. \nThis talk is presented by the McHenry Library and cosponsored by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Colloquium with Seth Yalcin: "Epistemic Modality De Re"
DESCRIPTION:I describe some new puzzles about the interaction of epistemic modality with quantification. I offer to dissolve the puzzles using a nonstandard kind of situation semantics. On the theory I develop\, possibilities are partial\, and quantification involves tacit modality. \n(Ph.D.\, MIT) Professor Yalcin works primarily in the philosophy of language\, though his research extends to issues in the philosophy of mind\, metaphysics\, formal epistemology\, and linguistics. Yalcin runs the Meaning Sciences Club at UC Berkeley\, which is focused on semantics and related topics in syntax\, pragmatics\, logic\, cognitive science\, and the philosophy of language.  Yalcin is also co-organizer of The History and Philosophy of Logic\, Mathematics\, and Science group at UC Berkeley\, a Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities Working Group devoted to the discussion of historical and philosophical issues in symbolic logic\, mathematics\, and science.

SUMMARY:Rachel Chrastil: "Inventing Humanitarianism: Gender and the Civilian Male in Besieged Strasbourg"
DESCRIPTION:In August 1870 the Prussians and their German allies laid siege to the French city of Strasbourg and bombed the city center\, killing and wounding civilian men\, women and children. The siege gave rise to the first instance of wartime international humanitarian aid to civilians. This talk examines the experience of that aid from the perspective of the recipients as well as the ethical debates over the city’s continued resistance in the face of overwhelming force.\n\nRachel Chrastil joined the faculty at Xavier University in 2005\, after receiving her Ph.D. in History at Yale University.  Since then\, she has written two books on the civilian experience of war\, including The Siege of Strasbourg (forthcoming\, Harvard University Press).  She has been a Fulbright U.S. Scholar and an invited speaker on humanitarianism\, human rights and historical memory.  She currently holds a Xavier University Faculty Fellowship to promote quantitative literacy across the curriculum.

SUMMARY:Billy Collins: "Aimless Love"
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz is delighted to welcome two-term U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins for a reading and signing of his new collection\, Aimless Love: New and Selected Poems. Local poet and artist Gary Young\, who teaches at UCSC and was Santa Cruz County’s first Poet Laureate\, will introduce Mr. Collins. \nBilly Collins is famous for conversational\, witty poems that welcome readers with humor but often slip into quirky\, tender or profound observation on the everyday\, reading and writing\, and poetry itself. Aimless Love combines more than fifty new poems with selections from four previous books—Nine Horses\, The Trouble with Poetry\, Ballistics\, and Horoscopes for the Dead. By turns playful\, ironic\, and serious\, Collins’s poetry captures the nuances of everyday life while leading the reader into zones of inspired wonder. In the poet’s own words\, he hopes that his poems “begin in Kansas and end in Oz.” Touching on the themes of love\, loss\, joy\, and poetry itself\, these poems showcase the best work of this “poet of plenitude\, irony\, and Augustan grace” (The New Yorker).\n  \nThis offsite event will take place at UCSC Music Recital Hall. Parking is $3\, but is located next to the venue and is easily accessible. \nPeople with disabilities needing assistance are asked to contact us in advance: email bookshopevents@yahoo.com or call 46-3232\nPLEASE NOTE: Tickets will be sold by row\, with open seating within each row. If you are planning on attending this event with others\, you will want to purchase tickets as a group if you’d like to sit next to each other.\n  \nTICKETS: $28.30\, includes one ticket to the event & one copy of Aimless Love. \nPurchase Tickets\n  \nAuthor photo courtesy of Suzannah Gilman

SUMMARY:Anna Szabolcsi: "What do quantifier particles do?"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In Szabolcsi (2010: Ch 12.5) and subsequent work I embarked on a program to investigate the compositional semantics of quantifier words. Taking apart someone and everyone and specifying what the quantifier particles and the indeterminate pronoun mean are not daunting tasks. The interesting part of the project begins when we observe that in many languages\, the “quantifier particles” also serve in multiple other roles\, and set out to investigate whether and how the same interpretations extend to those contexts. Best-known is the case of Japanese\, where “someone” (dare-ka) is formed with the morpheme ka and “everyone/anyone” (dare-mo) with the morpheme mo\, both of which have busy lives of their own. In addition to indefinites\, ka shows up in disjunctions (John-ka Mary(-ka)) and questions (Dare-ga VP ka; John-ga VP ka) . In addition to universals\, mo serves as an additive and scalar particle (John-mo) and shows up in distributive conjunctions (John-mo Mary-mo). Hungarian vala/vagy\, –e\, mind\, and is exhibit very similar behavior. A natural first stab is to observe that members of the cross-linguistic KA family are join operators\, whereas members of the MO family are meet operators. This talk will confront a particular problem for that interpretation: the fact that in many constructions multiple copies of the same particle occur. A semantic approach will be proposed. \nAnna Szabolsci is Professor of Linguistics at New York University.

SUMMARY:Korea Peace Day
DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz Korea Peace Day 2013 \n“No Gun Ri: No Reconciliation Without Truth”\nLecture by Charles Hanley\n(Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist) \nScreening of Memory of Forgotten War\nA film by Deann Borshay Liem and Ramsay Liem< \nAdditional Speakers: Paul Liem (Korea Policy Institute)\, Sarah Sloan (ANSWER Coalition)\, and Stephen McNeil (American Friends Services Committee) \nAbout the talk: Although South Korea’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission has investigated many of more than 200 alleged cases of what it categorizes as civilian massacres committed by U.S. soldiers during the Korean War\, a war that has yet to be ended with a peace treaty\, the U.S. government has investigated only one\, the refugee killings at No Gun Ri. The U.S. government’s 300-page report on that inquiry exonerated the U.S. military of wrongdoing. President Clinton stated that the evidence was not clear that there was responsibility “high enough in the chain of command.” In reporting their findings\, however\, the U.S. Army investigators ignored and left undisclosed many of the most relevant documents and testimony. The most significant example is the “Muccio letter\,” in which the U.S. ambassador to South Korea informed the State Department that the Army\, fearing infiltrators\, had decided to fire on South Korean refugees approaching U.S. lines despite warning shots. The No Gun Ri carnage began the next day. \nAbout the speaker: Charles J. Hanley is a retired journalist with more than 40 years’ experience as reporter and editor\, largely internationally. As an Associated Press special correspondent from the late 1970s to 2011\, he reported from some 100 countries on stories ranging from summit conferences and arms negotiations to climate change and the plight of a threatened tribe in New Guinea. He also reported from a dozen war zones\, including extensively from Afghanistan and Iraq beginning in 2002. He served as AP assistant and deputy managing editor in 1987-92. In 1998-99\, he was part of the Associated Press investigative team that confirmed the U.S. military’s large-scale killing of South Korean refugees at No Gun Ri in 1950\, early in the Korean War. That work earned the team a Pulitzer Prize and 11 other major national and international journalism awards. Hanley’s reporting was recognized with a half-dozen other major awards over the years. \nAbout the film: Four Korean American survivors testify to the brutality of the Korean War and the pain of divided families\, 60 years later.  Interwoven with the history of the war\, their stories speak loudly for a long overdue end to the unresolved Korean War. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Institute for Humanities Research\, the Asian American and Pacific Islander Resource Center\, the Department of History\, the Department of Film and Digital Media\, Cowell College\, Stevenson College\, the Korea Policy Institute\, and the American Friends Services Committee. \nFree and open to the public.  For more information\, please contact Christine Hong (cjhong@ucsc.edu).

SUMMARY:1930's FIlm Series: "Chapaev (1934)"
DESCRIPTION:An important example of socialist realism in Soviet cinema\, Chapaev charts the ideological development and refinement of Chapaev (Boris Babochkin)\, a charismatic leader of a Red Army division.

SUMMARY:Clare Monagle: "Neo-medievalism and the Postcolonial: International Relations Theory and Temporality"
DESCRIPTION:Though an historian of medieval thought\, Clare Monagle’s most recent work turns to the twentieth-century and the deployment of the Middle Ages in International Relations Theory. Monagle argues that charting the medieval in this frame enables a new insight into the understanding of historical time that informs the discipline of international relations. \nClare Monagle is a graduate of Monash and the Johns Hopkins Universities. She received her PhD in 2007. She is broadly interested in history of intellectuals in the Middle Ages\, as well as the histories of the institutions that housed them. Her work is also concerned with the “medievalism” of twentieth and twenty-first century thought\, that is\, the uses to which the concept of the medieval is put within definitions of modernity and progress.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Gold (1934)
DESCRIPTION:The Golden Plague Forging Its Path of Annihilation! \nOne of the few expressly science fiction films produced under German National Socialism\, Gold makes a spectacle of British-German relations in the early years of the Third Reich. An “evil” British alchemist sabotages a “good” German chemist’s experimental attempt to obtain gold from base metals with the help of an atomic reactor\, and the chemist dies in the ensuing explosion. The deceased chemist’s “good” engineer assistant\, Werner Holk (Hans Alber)\, survives the disaster and starts to look for the parties responsible for the death of his mentor. Effectively kidnapped by the Brits during his search and coerced into aiding them\, Holk finds himself in a vast underwater facility where the atomic reactor designed by his dead friend is being reconstructed on a grand scale. While attempting to sabotage this new alchemical project before it destroys the world economy with mass-produced artificial gold\, Holk also has to figure out what to do about his feelings for the daughter of the British alchemist\, Florence (Brigitte Helm). Playing on many of the anxieties and fears connected with Germany’s experiences with hyperinflation in the 1920s\, Hartl’s film is a unique peek into Nazi cinema of the 1930s. Wittily “sampled” in Curt Siodmak’s American sci-fi classic\, The Magnetic Monster (1953)\, excerpts from which will be shown as well\, Gold is not to be missed! \n  \nPresented by It Came from the Thirties! For the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing 1930s films from different countries each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends.

SUMMARY:Saru Jayaraman: "Behind the Kitchen Door in Santa Cruz and Across America"
DESCRIPTION:More Americans are choosing to dine healthy and ethically at restaurants offering organic and fair-trade ingredients. Yet few diners are aware of the working conditions at the restaurants themselves. How do restaurant workers live on some of the lowest wages in America? And how do poor working conditions—discriminatory labor practices\, exploitation\, and unsanitary kitchens—affect the meals that arrive at our restaurant tables? In her book\, Behind the Kitchen Door\, Saru Jayaraman tries to answer these questions by following a group of restaurant workers\, among the 10 million – many of whom are immigrants and people of color – who make up the nation’s second-largest private sector workforce. Whether you eat haute cuisine or fast food\, the well-being of restaurant workers is a pressing concern\, affecting our health and safety\, as well as our local economies. \nMs. Jayaraman’s talk will be followed with a Q&A session with the author along with Gretchen Regenhardt\, attorney and representative of the Watsonville-based group\, California Rural Legal Assistance\, which is launching a survey and research project on low-wage restaurant workers in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. \nSaru Jayaraman is a graduate of Yale Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and director of the Food Labor Research Center at UC Berkeley.  She is also co-Founder of the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROC United)\, a national organization with 10\,000 members across 26 cities\, which organizes restaurant workers to win workplace justice\, conducts research\, partners with responsible employers\, and launched cooperatively-owned restaurants. She has appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher\, MSNBC\, NBC Nightly News\, and PBS\, among others. \nCalifornia Rural Legal Assistance\, founded in 1966 as a nonprofit legal services program\, now has 21 offices\, providing more than 40\,000 low-income rural Californians with free legal assistance and a variety of community education and outreach programs. \nCo-Sponsored by the UCSC Center for Labor Studies\, the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems\, the Sociology Department\, the Chicano Latino Resource Center\,  Oakes College\, and the Institute for Humanities Research. \nFor more information\, please contact smckay@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Free Angela! is a brilliant documentary that captures the sensational murder and kidnapping trial of Black Communist and UCLA Professor Angela Davis in the early 1970s. It provides extraordinary archival footage\, interviews with Davis\, all four of her trial lawyers and the activists who co-led a massive international movement for her freedom. Davis was deeply involved in a movement to help save the lives of three Black prisoners known as the Soledad Brothers\, and was also active in the Black Panther Party and the anti- Vietnam war movement. Davis was indicted as a co-conspirator by a Marin County Grand Jury and when “unavailable” was placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.This was the result of an attempt by prisoners from San Quentin to escape during a court case in Marin County on August 7th\, 1970. The judge\, two of the prisoners\, and their young would-be liberator were killed by San Quentin prison guards; the prosecuting attorney and the other escaping prisoner were critically wounded. Condemned in sensational media coverage\, then President Richard Nixon and then California Governor Ronald Reagan denounced Davis as a “dangerous terrorist.” Davis was in fact the target of government revenge as a symbol of the radical fervor of those times. The film tells a complicated story in a comprehensible\, powerful way that continues to reverberate in our own time. \nQ & A following the film with Howard Moore\, lead counsel for Angela Davis\, and Bettina Aptheker\, Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nShowing sponsored by the UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race & Ethnic Studies and by the Feminist Studies Department at UC Santa Cruz.

Smihi will also be a participant at the symposium. http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/filmseries/smihi \nThe Unfixed Itineraries symposium will encourage innovative perspectives on Arab film and visual culture\, emphasizing their multifaceted and plural nature. Rather than homogenize “the Arab world\,” for example\, we stress the multiple worlds that have been made by diverse histories. Instead of taking for granted the meaning of the word “Arab\,” our event continually questions fixed narratives that produce rigid identities. And by refusing the common tendency to reduce Arab art to the realm of the political or the religious\, we also affirm the inspiring\, arresting pleasures of the aesthetic\, the sensory\, the intellectual\, and the social aspects of film and media from the region. \nParticipants will focus on the production and circulation of Arab visual cultures across multiple temporal and spatial boundaries: from the historical to the recent\, at “home” and in diaspora. The symposium includes opportunities for seeing film and media and for engaging in scholarly\, critical debates with cultural producers (rather than just “about” them). \nArtists and scholars will visit from Lebanon\, Morocco\, Egypt\, Syria\, Canada\, Europe\, and the US and the work presented will cover a wide area of forms\, styles\, and thematic concerns. \nSymposium screenings\, panels\, and presentations will address topics such as: Movement and Extra-territoriality; Itineraries of Intertextuality; Past\, Present\, and Future Itineraries; Narrative and non-Narrative Itineraries; Archives\, Images\, Memory. \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column]

SUMMARY:Rocio Rosales: "Stagnant Immigrant Social Networks and Cycles of Exploitation"
DESCRIPTION:Based on over four years of ethnographic research among street vendors in Los Angeles and on interviews with family members of vendors and former vendors living in Mexico\, Rocio Rosales examines the influence of a sending community and its social networks on migrant outcomes in the US. These social networks affect migration patterns\, ease entry into the fruit vending business but also facilitate exploitation. Furthermore\, these social networks do not always function as effective conduits of information because its members\, due to feelings of shame or embarrassment\, often fail to add to the existing body of knowledge. As a result\, international migration patterns\, job placement\, and exploitative practices do not change or improve for subsequent migrants. This creates a cycle in which social networks become stagnant and successively fail to function as effective conduits of information and resources in ways that might help network members equally and in the aggregate. \nRocio Rosales is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California\, San Diego. She completed her Ph.D. in Sociology at UCLA in 2012 and received her A.B. in Sociology (cum laude) with a certificate in Latin American Studies from Princeton University. Her dissertation\, “Hidden Economies in Public Spaces: The Fruit Vendors of Los Angeles\,” examines the social and economic lives of a group of undocumented Latino street vendors. Her research interests include international migration\, informal work\, immigrant and ethnic economies\, Latinos/as in the US\, qualitative methods and urban ethnography. Her work has been funded by the American Philosophical Society (2011)\, John Randolph and Dora Haynes Foundation (2010)\, Ford Foundation (2005-2008)\, and the SSRC Mellon Mays Foundation (2003-2012). Her research appears in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies and in Ethnic and Racial Studies (forthcoming). \nLecture presented by the UCSC Sociology Colloquium Series and the UCSC Center for Labor Studies. \nFor more info\, go to: http://socyeventsucsc.wordpress.com/.\nFor info about access to College 8\, contact: Barbara Laurence\, balauren@ucsc.edu.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Albert Camus\, 1913-2013
DESCRIPTION:Beginning on October 15\, UC Santa Cruz will be one of 500 venues worldwide to host an exhibit commemorating the 100th birthday of the French Nobel Prize winning author and philosopher Albert Camus. \nThe new digital/paper exhibit combines print editorial with QR code technology. \nThe exhibit was conceived and produced by the Institut Francais\, an arm of the French State Department in partnership with Camus’ publisher\, Gallimard and Ecole Normale Superieure. \n“There are over 100 images\, and more than 15 minutes of audio and video recordings linked to the various QR codes\,” noted Douglas Hull\, a board member of the Silicon Valley branch of the Alliance Francaise. \n“The exhibit works chronologically\, and is divided into five major periods of his life. Some of the images were never published before\, particularly from his life in Algeria\,” Hull added. \nCoded QR codes allow the viewer to select the nature of the information experienced (magenta equals context/background; codes with a symbolic eye equal zoom in; with a quotation mark equal citations; and with an arrow in a white circle equal audio or video). \nRecordings include Camus’s Nobel acceptance speech in Stockholm\, and zooms include articles he wrote anonymously during WWII for an underground paper and copies of manuscript pages. \nHull added that viewers will also have the chance to upload their own picture with a time and location stamp onto a  global mosaic which will be scrollable and accessible to anyone who has downloaded the exhibit’s app. \nThis exhibit is free and open to the public. It runs through November 14. Open hours are 9 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.

DESCRIPTION:Thresholds and Breaking Points \nThe writers in this series will present across multiple genres\, to include poetry\, fiction\, criticism\, and various hybrid genres. Each will explore ways that language tests thresholds of culture\, race\, nation\, sex\, gender\, and desire through the creative imagination. Central to each will be how these thresholds are performed\, tested\, broken\, clarified and complicated in their works. \nLucy Corin is the author of the short story collection The Entire Predicament (Tin House Books) and the novel Everyday Psychokillers: A History for Girls (FC2). The collection One Hundred Apocalypses and Other Apocalypses was just released from McSweeney’s Books. Stories have appeared in American Short Fiction\, Conjunctions\, Ploughshares\, Tin House Magazine\, New Stories From the South: The Year’s Best and other places. She’s been a fellow at Breadloaf and Sewanee\, and spent last year at the American Academy in Rome as the 2012 John Guare Fellow in Literature. She now directs the Creative Writing Program at the University of California\, Davis. \nLocation and Time: All Readings located at Kresge Town Hall 466 | 6-7:45pm \nThe Living Writers Series is co-sponsored by the Porter College George Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, a Poets & Writers through the grant from the James Irvine Foundation\, the Literature Department and the Creative Writing Program\, Morton Marcus Memorial Poetry Reading\, and a Laurie Sain Creative Writing Endowment.

SUMMARY:Undisciplining Feminism: Formations in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together a core group of UC and Cal State faculty working at the intersections of feminist studies and ethnic studies\, we will generate a curricular vision that\, rather than being negatively constructed as a critique (of patriarchy\, mainstream feminism\, “wave”-based periodizations\, etc.) begins with concepts like race\, empire\, and settler colonialism. Conversely\, we imagine ethnic studies as foundationally organized around gender and sexuality\, centered on concepts such as reproduction and sexual violence. While critiques of Women and Gender Studies and Ethnic Studies as disciplinary formations have long existed\, we hope that by generating shared curricular materials\, we can further engage the intellectual repercussions of (inter)disciplinarity and strategize ways to make institutional interventions. We aim to collectively generate the kind of work called for by such critiques\, and to share strategies for the careful institutionalization of such work. \nThis event is intended to support current efforts to establish a Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) program at UC Santa Cruz\, in addition to enabling a conversation amongst group participants. While student efforts at establishing ethnic studies as a major have a long history at UCSC\, it was not until the disestablishment of American Studies\, which led to massive student protests against the lack of institutional support for the study of race and ethnicity in 2011-12\, that these efforts received administrative attention. In 2012-13\, a working group consisting of faculty\, undergraduates\, and graduate students has met regularly around a series of talks and workshops aimed at developing a CRES major. The major was approved in Spring 2012\, with courses scheduled to begin 2012-13. The public portion of our event\, sponsored by Bettina Aptheker and Karen Tei Yamashita’s Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, is intended to be in conversation with and to raise the profile of CRES\, as well as the launch of the Feminist Studies graduate program. \nSome questions that we hope to address through this event: \nWhere\, why and to what effect does the complicity of feminisms with the security state\, the carceral turn\, settler colonial states\, and so forth take place?\nWhat are some alternative genealogies of feminism (perhaps not recognizable or identified as such) that we might consider as generative for thinking about difference? Why might they not be as legible as points of departure for feminism? What are the political possibilities and perils of visibility and legibility?\nHow might existing scholarship already be producing alternative genealogies for a practice and politics of feminism?\nTo learn more about the conference\, and to access the agenda and abstracts\, please visit: http://ihr.ucsc.edu/undisciplining-feminism/. \nThis event is free and open to the public.\n \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening of "Maestra" with Filmmaker Catherine Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Cuba\, 1961: 250\,000 volunteers taught 700\,000 people to read and write in one year. 100\,000 of the teachers were under 18 years old. Over half were women. Maestra explores this story through the personal testimonies of the young women who went out to teach literacy in rural communities across the island – and found themselves deeply transformed in the process. \nThere will be a Q & A with the filmmaker after the screening. \nCo-sponsored by The Chicano/Latino Research Center\, The Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, and the Social Documentation Program. \nFor more information contact the Latin American and Latino Studies Department\, or Professor Lourdes Martínez-Echazábal at: lourdes@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:"The Motherhood Archives" film screening and discussion
DESCRIPTION:Archival montage\, science fiction\, and an homage to 70s feminist filmmaking are woven together to form this haunting and lyrical essay film excavating hidden histories of childbirth in the twentieth century. Assembling an extraordinary archive of over 100 educational\, industrial\, and medical training films (including newly rediscovered Soviet and French childbirth films)\, The Motherhood Archives inventively untangles the complex\, sometimes surprising genealogies of maternal education. Revealing a world of intensive training\, rehearsal\, and performative preparation for the unknown that is ultimately incommensurate with experience\, The Motherhood Archives is a meditation on the maternal body as a site of institutional control\, ideological surveillance\, medical knowledge\, and nationalist state intervention.\n  \nIntroduction by Neda Atanasoski (Feminist Studies) \nPost-screening discussion with the filmmaker\, Irene Lusztig\, and:\nNancy Chen (Anthropology)\nJenny Horne (Film & Digital Media)\nFelicity Schaeffer (Feminist Studies) \nReception to follow in Communications 139\n  \nPresented by the Center for Documentary Arts and Research and the Departments of Anthropology\, Feminist Studies\, and Film & Digital Media.

SUMMARY:Jim McCloskey: "Preverbs\, Phases\, and Objecthood: An Irish Perspective on Some Old Problems"
DESCRIPTION:The direct object relation is a relation of central importance in syntactic theory and so it was an important moment when the nature of that relation was re-thought in a fundamental way in work of the 1990’s. This paper examines some of the issues raised in that re-thinking\, by looking closely at the expression of the direct object relation in Irish (infinitival) clauses. It focuses in particular on what is to be learned from an intricate pattern of dialectal\, idiolectal\, and generational variation which\, it is claimed\, sheds light on how we should understand `Burzio’s Generalization’\, which is\nitself a central aspect of theories of objecthood which derive from Government Binding Theory. \nJim McCloskey is Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Joanne Barker: "In Debt: A Reconsideration of 'Race\, Empire\, and the Crisis of the Subprime' from Manna-Hata"
DESCRIPTION:Intervening in populist\, Occupy Wall Street discourses about the subprime crisis and its remedies\, this talk critically uncovers Manna Hata from Manhattan. Offering a long genealogical view of the militarized dispossession\, genocide\, and enslavement of Native peoples in order to problematize the subprime crisis as a signifier of racism\, this talk focuses on territorial expansion\, resource destruction and extraction\, labor exploitation\, and debt as past and present depredations upon Native nations and their citizens within the United States. In so doing\, this talk addresses Native debt in ways left unaccounted for in a proliferation of recent scholarship on debt\, including the special issue of American Quarterly\, “Race\, Empire\, and the Crisis of the Subprime.” By tracing current U.S. and global economic formations and their crises to inaugural violence upon Native nations and their citizens\, this talk examines the foundational nature of the U.S. military foreclosure of Native lands as part of its territorial homeland and its appropriation of Native bodies into its system of indentured labor relative to the crisis of home mortgages and their speculative securities. \nJoanne Barker (Lenape [Delaware Tribe of Indians]) is associate professor of American Indian Studies at San Francisco State University. She received her Ph.D. in the History of Consciousness Department from the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, in 2000 on the work of identity and identification in indigenous struggles for sovereignty and self-determination. She is author of Native Acts: Law Recognition\, and Cultural Authenticity (Duke University Press\, 2011) and editor of Sovereignty Matters: Locations of Contestation and Possibility in Indigenous Struggles for Self-Determination (Nebraska\, 2005). She is involved in cultural repatriation rights\, environmental issues\, human rights\, and anti-war politics.

Her fieldwork was with Catholic rice-farming people in a rural area\, but on the outskirts of a small town\, where people were also exposed to complex\, urbanising influences and images from Manila and from the West\, especially America. Her research explored the ways in which people come to think about “culture” in a post-colonial society\, and focused on women’s lives and arranged marriage\, spirit-mediumship\, saint’s cults and religion\, and popular performances including transvestite beauty contests. She has since carried out historically-based work on the Philippines\, especially on education\, kinship\, and gender in the American colonial period. She also works with a number of postgraduate students whose research is based in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia\, and intends to do more work in the region in the future. Most recently\, however\, she has conducted a two-year research project on American kinship and religion\, with a particular focus on Mormonism. Much of this research took place in upstate New York and in Utah. In addition to these field-based projects\, Dr. Cannell has written more broadly on the relationship between Christianity and social theory. \nDr. Fenella Cannell\, London School of Economics and Political Science

SUMMARY:Neil Sinhababu: "Desire's Explanations"
DESCRIPTION:I defend a Humean theory of motivation on which desire motivates all action and drives all practical reasoning. I respond to objections from Christine Korsgaard\, David Velleman\, and others suggesting that this view leaves no room for the self in action. I argue that all the agent’s desires are part of the self\, and that their effects include the self’s decision and action. \nNeil Sinhababu is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at National University of Singapore. He works on Ethics and Metaethics.

SUMMARY:Anthony Barbieri-Low: "Imagining the Tomb of the First Emperor of China"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the President’s Chair in Ancient Studies present a lecture in an ongoing series on “Archaeology and the Ancient World” \nThe tomb complex of the First Emperor of China is arguably the most important archaeological site in the world. Since the tomb will not be excavated in our lifetime\, if ever\, imagination will always play a major role in trying to understand what is in the tomb. Ever since the Emperor was first interred\, authors\, artists\, and archaeologists have tried to reconstruct and imagine what lies in his tomb. Such reconstructions allow the imaginer to project his fears\, hopes\, and expectations on the site\, and can tell us even more about the imaginers than it does about the world they imagine. This talk will explore how historians\, poets\, artists\, archaeologists\, movie directors\, and video-game designers have imagined the First Emperor’s underground realm. \nTalk begins at 5:00 pm\, refreshments served at 4:30 pm\, with a reception following lecture.\nAnthony Barbieri-Low is Associate Professor of Early Chinese History at UC Santa Barbara. He graduated from UCSC in 1994 with a degree in History\, and went on to receive his M.A from Harvard and Ph.D. from Princeton. He has wide-ranging research interests in many aspects of Early China\, including technology\, organization of production\, labor history\, gender and social relations\, legal process\, material culture\, and state formation. In 2007\, he published the book Artisans in Early Imperial China\, which went on to receive four major international book prizes in ancient history\, art history\, and Chinese studies. He has just completed a book-length translation and study of ancient Chinese legal texts and is preparing another book on interpretations of the First Emperor of China.\nFree parking for lecture in Cowell-Stevenson parking lots. For more information on the lecture or the AIA\, please contact hedrick@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Grant McGuire: "Separating voice prototypicality and stereotypicality"
DESCRIPTION:Current theories of speech perception emphasize the demonstrated role of direct experience in voice processing where greater experience with a voice or voice type results in various processing advantages. This talk describes early results from a project examining the role of stereotypes\, or more abstracted representations not necessarily based in direct experience\, in the processing of voices. Specifically\, we will detail the role various voice types play in phonetic accommodation\, the phenomenon where a talker adapts properties of another talker’s voice. \nGrant McGuire is an Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz and recipient of an IHR Faculty Fellowship (2012-13). His primary research interest is in speech perception. He received his PhD in Linguistics from Ohio State University (Phonetic Category Learning\, 2007) and has published research articles on perceptual learning in adults and infants\, audio-visual speech perception\, and gender effects on speech perception.

SUMMARY:Ad Neeleman: "Person: Inventory and Realization"
DESCRIPTION:“Person: Inventory and Realization” is a joint work with Peter Ackema\, of the University of Edinburgh. \nIn this presentation Dr. Neeleman will develop a theory in which person features are more abstract than usually assumed: they do not refer to speaker or addressee\, but are rather used to navigate a ‘person space’ . The theory is confronted with two typological problems. \n(i) Why is the inventory of persons so limited? Why aren’t there 30 persons? (In this context 30 is not a random number\, but represents the number of potential persons.) \n(ii) What explains the typological observation that syncretism between first and third person is much rarer than syncretism between either first and second\, or second and third person (Baerman et al. 2005\, Baerman and Brown 2011)? \nIf time allows\, he will discuss also Dutch as a case study. In this language there are two person endings that arrange themselves in such a way that there is a 2-3 syncretism in the regular case\, a 1-2 syncretism under subject-verb inversion\, and an optional 1-3 syncretism with a particular lexical class of verbs (modals). \nAd Neeleman is Professor of Linguistics at University College London. His research focuses on syntactic theory and the interaction between the syntax and syntax-external systems. He received his PhD from Utrecht University (Complex Predicates\, 1994) and is the author of some forty research papers and two books (Flexible Syntax\, 1999\, with Fred Weerman\, and Beyond Morphology\, 2004\, with Peter Ackema). His current research deals with linear asymmetries in syntax\, the grammar of person and the linguistic representation of causation. \nThis event is presented by he Crosslinguistic Investigations in Syntax-Phonology Research Cluster\, and sponsored by the UC Humanities Network. Staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research. For more information\, including disabled access\, please contact: Shann Ritchie\, (831) 459-5655\, sritchie@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Richard Miskolci: "Undisciplined studies & the (geo)politics of knowledge"
DESCRIPTION:Challenges for a North-South dialogue \nWhy does knowledge continue to travel only from North to South? To understand the powerful continuity in this exchange\, this presentation will start with a historical reconstitution of its creation and functioning. Even in an increasingly decentered world we still witness the hegemony of academic exchange in which North produces theories and South is seen as a space for collecting data or applying Northern theories to particular cases. Knowledges are created under institutional frames that connect them to power interests. During the end of 19th century\, for example\, evolutionism created a kind of alliance between intellectual and ruling classes in different parts of the world. Later\, after World War II\, this same alliance was recreated with a new objective: spreading a modernization ideal based on the assumption that West – the US in particular – was the model for the Rest (of the world). Beginning with the 1960s\, with the historical event Foucault called “the insurgence of subalternized knowledges”\, we saw the rise of a set of studies connected to once overlooked inequalities inside the so called West. These studies challenged the old ways of creating knowledge and connected their work to the interest of subalternized groups like women\, people of color\, gays\, lesbians\, colonized peoples\, and\, more recently\, queer persons. Unfortunately\, this important historical inflection that created specific fields like feminist\, post-colonial and queer studies has not changed the flux of knowledge production from North to the South. \nWhat are the reasons behind this continuity even in fields committed to subalternized people and experiences? Why are feminist\, post-colonial\, racial/ethnic\, and queer studies made in the South not seen as interlocutors in the North? Why isn’t Southern intellectual production circulated or taken into account in Northern genealogies of the so-called “studies”? Have “studies” been dragged into the academic battles inside US and Europe to conquer their internal institutional space while overlooking their possible allies in the South? Why – in a decentered world – do “studies” keep the global South in the position of a silent interlocutor that appears in generalized assumptions of contemporary production subsumed under expressions like international\, transnational and global? Finally\, what are the challenges to create a North-South dialogue? This presentation will try to address these questions and present some hypotheses\, but its main objective is not to give any final answer or present a solution. The idea is to promote the discussion about how knowledge committed to subalternized people and social change can reproduce – and even reinforce – unfair power relations outside the borders in which it is created. \nRichard Miskolci is Professor of Sociology at the Federal University of São Carlos in São Paulo state\, Brazil\, and Researcher at Núcleo de Estudos de Gênero Pagu\, UNICAMP. A key figure in the debate on queer theory in Brazil\, Miskolci has authored several books\, including Thomas Mann\, the Mestizo Artist (2003)\, O desejo da nação: masculinidade e branquitude no Brasil de fins do XIX (2012) and is the editor of Dissident Sexualities (2007)\, the first Brazilian Queer Studies anthology. Dr. Miskolci is a Visiting Scholar in Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz this year. \nAdditional Reading: “Undisciplined studies & the (geo)politics of knowledge” \nMiskolci Event Flyer
