SUMMARY:Community Book Group with Karen Tei Yamashita
DESCRIPTION:Dazzling and ambitious\, this hip\, multi-voiced fusion of prose\, playwriting\, graphic art\, and philosophy spins an epic tale of America’s struggle for civil rights as it played out in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Divided into ten novellas\, one for each year\, I Hotel begins in 1968\, when Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated\, students took to the streets\, the Vietnam War raged\, and cities burned. \nAs Karen Yamashita’s motley cast of students\, laborers\, artists\, revolutionaries\, and provocateurs make their way through the history of the day\, they become caught in a riptide of politics and passion\, clashing ideologies and personal turmoil. And by the time the survivors unite to save the International Hotel—epicenter of the Yellow Power Movement—their stories have come to define the very heart of the American experience. \nWe invite you to read  I Hotel\, then come to Bookshop Santa Cruz on January 25th for a community discussion of the book facilitated by Julie Minnis. It will be followed by a dialogue with Karen Yamashita. \nFor more information:\nhttp://news.ucsc.edu/2011/01/yamashita-bookshop-appearance.html \nhttp://www.bookshopsantacruz.com/event/community-book-group-karen-tei-yamashita \nhttp://www.santacruzsentinel.com/education/ci_17008747

SUMMARY:Megan C. Thomas: “Secrecy’s Use: Education\, Enlightenment\, and Propaganda”
DESCRIPTION:Using Mikhail Bakunin’s theorization of authority as a starting point\, this talk explores secrecy as a strategy for political enlightenment\, and calls attention to earlier conceptions of “propaganda” as education that were lost with the militarization of the term in the twentieth century. \nMegan C. Thomas is Associate Professor of Politics at UCSC. \nSponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies with staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research\, UCSC.

SUMMARY:Terje Lohndal: “Domains of Agreement”
DESCRIPTION:Current wisdom has it that syntactic agreement between one head and multiple dependents (Multiple Agree) is possible and perhaps empirically required. In this talk\, I will consider data from West Flemish that bear on this issue and argue that such agreement does not exist. I will then address the question of why grammars forbid such multiple agreement. I will scrutinize two hypotheses\, an intervention hypothesis and a cycliclity hypothesis\, and argue that the cyclicity hypothesis is the better one. \nThis lecture is part of the Linguistic Department’s Winter colloquium series as well as their Syntax job search. \n

SUMMARY:Peter Blickle: “New Developments in the Discourse of Heimat”
DESCRIPTION:Today\, just as during any other period since the end of the eighteenth century\, the idea of Heimat (home\, homeland) is a central part of German-speaking people’s attempts to make sense of the world they live in. The regressive aspects of the idea are troubling. Any concrete interaction with the idea of Heimat in the political realm has\, historically speaking\, served sooner or later to further exclusions. And all too often the idea of Heimat has assisted in more than mere exclusions. \nStarting with definitions from his book Heimat: A Critical Theory of the German Idea of Homeland (2002)\, Professor Blickle look at examples of such excluding uses of the traditional idea of Heimat. He then goes on to investigate more recent uses. They show the idea of Heimat in a new light – at home in the margins and including the Other rather than excluding it. \nOver the past decade and a half fundamental shifts have occurred in the uses of Heimat. For many\, Heimat has become mobile and unpredictable. Heimat surprises. And the fundamental feminization of the traditional Heimat has given way to more open\, more ambiguous\, more searching\, and sometimes even more playful interactions with the world. \nPeter Blickle received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1995. He is the author of two scholarly books\, one in English\, Heimat: A Critical Theory of the German Idea of Homeland (Camden House 2002)\, and one in German\, Maria Beig und die Kunst der scheinbaren Kunstlosigkeit (Maria Beig and the Art of Appearing Primitive\, Edition Isele 1997). His book on Heimat (home\, homeland) has established itself as one of the standard works on this German concept. He is also the author of a novel\, Blaulicht im Nebel (Ambulance in Fog\, Edition Isele 2002)\, and he translated Rosina Lippi’s novel Homestead into German (Im Schatten der Drei Schwestern\, Rowohlt/Wunderlich 2002). Together with Jaimy Gordon\, he translated Maria Beig’s novel Lost Weddings into English (Persea Books 1990). For his creative works in German\, he received the Irseer Pegasus Award (2004)\, the Robert L. Kahn Poetry Award (2007)\, and the Geertje Potash Prose Prize (2009). He is professor of German at Western Michigan University.

SUMMARY:Rhacel Parreñas: "Women's Migration as Indentured Mobility: How Gendered Protectionist Laws Leave Filipina Hostesses Dependent on Migrant Brokers and Susceptible to Forced Sexual Labor"
DESCRIPTION:Parreñas’ talk describes the migration process of Filipina hostesses to Japan. She explains why they are dependent on middleman brokers and how this dependency leaves them susceptible to forced sexual labor. While acknowledging the indenture and vulnerability of Filipina hostesses to abusive labor conditions\, she questions universal claims of their human trafficking that has been made by the U.S. Department of State and show how the solutions advocated by the United States to their supposed trafficking actually aggravate their susceptibility to forced sexual labor. As an alternative to the idea of “human trafficking\,” Parreñas introduces the concept of indentured mobility.” This concept provides a middle ground between ‘human trafficking’ and ‘independent labor migration.’ This new perspective calls for a different solution to indenture and forced labor from the universal solution of “rescue\, rehabilitation\, and reintegration” that has been posed by the United States. \nRhacel Salazar Parreñas is Professor of Sociology at the University of Southern California. She writes on women’s issues in migration and economic globalization. Her latest book\, The Force of Domesticity: Filipina Migrants and Globalization (NYU Press\, 2008)\, examines the constitution of gender in economic globalization. Currently on sabbatical as a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences\, she is writing a book on the labor and migration of Filipina hostesses in Tokyo.
