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.

SUMMARY:WHAT GOES UP\, MUST COME DOWN: Contemporary Activist Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:We hope you can join us for this speaker series jointly hosted by Feminist Studies & the History of Consciousness\, with support from the Center for Cultural Studies.\n\nAK Thompson\nEpistemologies of the Visual From Raphael to Late Capital: Some Observations Regarding Keywords for Radicals and Data Visualization \nThursday\, DECEMBER 1 | 12:20-2:00 | HUM 210; UCSC\n+\nFriday\, DECEMBER 2 | 6-8pm | SUB ROSA 703 Pacific Ave\, Downtown Santa Cruz \nSince the visual turn in the social sciences at the beginning of the twenty-first century\, images have become important points of engagement both as objects and as modes of analysis. For this reason\, along with its 50+ entries exploring the keywords used by contemporary activists\, Keywords for Radicals (AK Press 2016) incorporates data visualization to show how the “vocabulary” shared by radicals constitutes a kind of self-supporting small world network. \nSuch visualizations can help readers to map how the project’s vocabulary “works” and how struggles over word usage and meaning might most effectively be carried out. But while data visualization of this kind can be useful\, it also raises significant epistemological questions about the relationship between representation and what’s real. \nIn this presentation\, Keywords for Radicals editor AK Thompson will discuss the theoretical and aesthetic foundations of the project’s data visualization in order to evaluate the promise and perils of this technique in the age of the infographic. \nAK Thompson got kicked out of high school for publishing an underground newspaper called The Agitator and has been an activist\, writer\, and social theorist ever since. Currently teaching social theory at Fordham University\, his publications include Black Bloc\, White Riot: Anti-Globalization and the Genealogy of Dissent (2010) and Sociology for Changing the World: Social Movements/Social Research (2006). Between 2005 and 2012\, he served on the Editorial Committee of Upping The Anti: A Journal of Theory and Action. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1865000727120347/
