SUMMARY:Anna Tsing & Isabelle Carbonell: “‘Golden Snail Opera’: The More-than-human Performance of Friendly Farming on Taiwan’s Lanyang Plain”
DESCRIPTION:Written by Anna Tsing\, Isabelle Carbonell\, Joelle Chevrier and Yen-ling Tsai (Associate Professor of Anthropology at National Chaio Tung University Taiwan)\, Golden Snail Opera combines video and performance-oriented text into a genre-bending o-pei-la. This piece is a multispecies enactment of experimental natural history considering the “golden treasure snail\,” imported to Taiwan in 1979\, which is now major pest of rice agriculture. Whereas farmers in the Green Revolution’s legacy use poison to exterminate snails\, a new generation of “friendly farmers” attempts to insert farming as one among many multispecies life ways within the paddy. \nAnna Tsing is Professor of Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz and Co-Director of Aarhus University Research on the Anthropocene (AURA). \nIsabelle Carbonell is a PhD student in Film and Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz and a documentary filmmaker. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies will continue to host a Wednesday colloquium series\, which features current cultural studies work by campus faculty and visitors. The sessions are informal\, normally consisting of a 30-40 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center will provide coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nFall 2016 Colloquium Dates \nNovember 2 Anna Tsing / Isbelle Carbonell \nNovember 9 Joan Wallach Scott \nNovember 16 Robin Hunicke

SUMMARY:Joan Wallach Scott: “Sex and Secularism”
DESCRIPTION:Joan Wallach Scott’s recent books\, including The Fantasy of Feminist History (2011)\, focus on the relationship of the particularity of gender to the universalizing force of democratic politics. Her recent work tracks the mutually constitutive operations of gender and politics by examining the discourses of secularism from their nineteenth century anti-clerical origins to their current deployment in anti-Muslim campaigns. \nScott is Professor Emerita of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton University. \nCo-Sponsored by the Center for Emerging Worlds \nThe Center for Cultural Studies will continue to host a Wednesday colloquium series\, which features current cultural studies work by campus faculty and visitors.

SUMMARY:The Devil's Wheels: Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic
DESCRIPTION:“The Devil’s Wheels Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic” by Sasha Disko \nDuring the high days of modernization fever\, among the many disorienting changes Germans experienced in the Weimar Republic was an unprecedented mingling of consumption and identity: increasingly\, what one bought signaled who one was. Exemplary of this volatile dynamic was the era’s burgeoning motorcycle culture. With automobiles largely a luxury of the upper classes\, motorcycles complexly symbolized masculinity and freedom\, embodying a widespread desire to embrace progress as well as profound anxieties over the course of social transformation. Through its richly textured account of the motorcycle as both icon and commodity\, The Devil’s Wheels teases out the intricacies of gender and class in the Weimar years. \n\nSasha Disko is a historian and independent scholar. She is an alumnus of UCSC (BA in History and German Studies\, 1997) and received her PhD in History from New York University. She has been living and working in Germany since 2008. Her research interests include the history of motorization\, industrialization\, business administration\, and leisure. She currently lives in Hamburg\, Germany.
