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:Launch and Presentation of the Critical Sustainabilities Website
DESCRIPTION:From activism to ecology\, alternative culture to industry\, “sustainability\,” it seems\, is everywhere. In the face of economic and environmental crisis\, and unprecedented rates of urbanization\, the term has become ubiquitous in policy circles and across many social domains. Yet this ubiquity presents us with competing and often contradictory meanings and applications\, and can lead to conflicts over fundamental questions such as “sustainability of what and for whom?” This in turn poses challenges for sustainability scholarship\, planning\, policy\, and practice. \nCritical Sustainabilities is a new website that aims to address these issues. It focus on iconic sustainability efforts in Northern California — many of which have popularized the concept nationally and globally — while exploring the multiple\, often contested ways these efforts have made use of the term. It offers tools in the forms of “keywords” and “sites” to help grasp the histories and locations through which ideas about sustainability have been produced and become powerful. And it presents “projects” that explore these ideas through a creative and critical lens. \nPlease join us as we launch Critical Sustainabilities\, and share a few contributions from the site: \n* Miriam Greenberg (UCSC): “Sustainabilities”\n* Simon Sadler (UC Davis): “Keyword: Ecological Design” and “Site: Bateson Building”\n* Elsa Ramos (UCSC) “Keyword: Transit Oriented Development” and “Site: 16th and Mission BART Plaza”\n* Tracy Perkins (UCSC): “Site: Gonzales” and “Project: Voices from the Valley”\n* Kristin Miller (UCSC): “Keyword: Google Bus” and “Projects: Postcards from the Future”\n* Rachel Brahinsky (University of San Francisco): “Teaching Critical Sustainabilities”

SUMMARY:Charles Post: "The American Road to Capitalism"
DESCRIPTION:University Press Books and the 2430 Arts Alliance invite you to join\nCharles Post for a reading and discussion of his new book: \nThe American Road to Capitalism:\nStudies in Class Structure\, Economic Development and Political Conflict\, 1620-1877\n\n“Charles Post’s new book\, The American Road to Capitalism\, is sure to become a reference point for debates among historians and Marxists about the transformation of the English colonies into the fully developed capitalist United States. […] it should be widely read\, appreciated for its insights and rigor\, and also debated.” —Ashley Smith\, International Socialist Review \n“This is a thoughtful\, learned\, stimulating\, challenging and altogether valuable volume. It reprints a series of reflections by the Marxist sociologist Charles Post on various aspects of the rise and evolution of capitalism in North America between the colonial era and the late 19th century. The book is anchored in a wide-ranging study of (and it duly credits) the work of generations of historians.” —Bruce Levine\, author of Confederate Emancipation: Southern Plans to Free and Arm Slaves during the Civil War\, in Against the Current \n“Explaining the origin and early development of American capitalism is a particularly challenging task. It is in some ways even more difficult than in other cases to strike the right historical balance\, capturing the systemic imperatives of capitalism\, and explaining how they emerged\, while doing justice to historical particularities… To confront these historical complexities requires both a command of historical detail and a clear theoretical grasp of capitalism’s systemic imperatives\, a combination that is all too rare. Charles Post succeeds in striking that difficult balance\, which makes his book a major contribution to truly historical scholarship.” —Ellen Meiksins-Wood\, York University\, author of The Origins of Capitalism: A Long View. \nUnable to analyze the dynamics of specific forms of social labour in the antebellum U.S.\, most historians of the US Civil War have ignored its deep social roots. To search out these roots\, Post applies the theoretical insights from the transition debates to the historical literature on the U.S. to produce a new analysis of the origins of American capitalism. \nCharles Post Ph. D. (1983) in Sociology\, SUNY-Binghamton\, is Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College-CUNY. He has published in New Left Review\, Journal of Peasant Studies\, Journal of Agrarian Change\, Against the Current and Historical Materialism. \nSponsored by the History of Consciousness Department. Co-sponsored by the Sociology Department and the History Department.
