SUMMARY:Eric Porter: Book Reading and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Eric Porter\, Professor and Chair of American Studies\, will be reading from his new book The Problem of the Future World: W.E.B. Du Bois and the Race Concept at Midcentury.   \nThe Problem of the Future World is a compelling reassessment of the later writings of the iconic African American activist and intellectual W. E. B. Du Bois. As Eric Porter points out\, despite the outpouring of scholarship devoted to Du Bois\, the broad range of writing he produced during the 1940s and early 1950s has not been thoroughly examined in its historical context\, nor has sufficient attention been paid to the theoretical interventions he made during those years. Porter locates Du Bois’s later work in relation to what he calls “the first postracial moment.” He suggests that Du Bois’s midcentury writings are so distinctive and so relevant for contemporary scholarship because they were attuned to the shape-shifting character of modern racism\, and in particular to the ways that discredited racial taxonomies remained embedded and in force in existing political-economic arrangements at both the local and global levels. Porter moves the conversation about Du Bois and race forward by building on existing work about the theorist\, systematically examining his later writings\, and looking at them from new perspectives\, partly by drawing on recent scholarship on race\, neoliberalism\, and empire. The Problem of the Future World shows how Du Bois’s later writings help to address race and racism as protean\, global phenomena in the present.

SUMMARY:Marcelo Dimentstein & Alejandro Dujovne: "A fragmented tradition: Jewish studies in Argentina"
DESCRIPTION:Compared with other Jewish Communities in the diaspora\, the Argentine Jewish community presents a remarkable paradox: Although it is the largest\, most plural and probably the most highly institutionalized Jewish community in Latin America\, it has lacked a tradition of academic Jewish studies. Taking this paradox as our point of departure\, in this lecture we will explore the historical conditions that limited this development. The study of this question will allow us not only to approach the understanding of the current trends of Jewish studies in the country\, but also to focus our attention on some cultural aspects of Argentine Jewish history. \nMarcelo Dimentstein coordinates the JDC International Centre for Community Development (JDC-ICCD) based in Paris and Oxford.  He has a degree in Social Anthropology from the University of Buenos Aires and is currently enrolled in a PhD program in History. He did research on various aspects of the Jewish Community in Argentina including the Jewish labor Bund and the urban history of the Jewish neighborhood in Buenos Aires. His dissertation is about the role of JDC in Europe between 1989 and 1999. Marcelo is a member and co-founder of the “Núcleo de Estudios Judios” (NEJ)\, a group of young researchers dedicated to Jewish Argentinean History. \nAlejandro Dujovne holds a Ph.D. in social sciences (IDES-Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento). He is a member of the research project “Written culture\, printed word and intellectual field”  at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba\, and founder and member of the Jewish Studies Area of IDES (NEJ).  He is also member of the Board of Directors of the Latin American Jewish Studies Association (LAJSA). His doctoral dissertation examined the production and circulation of books in the Jewish community of Buenos Aires in the frame of a wider transnational geography of production and circulation of “Jewish books” between 1919 and 1979. His current research focuses on the social trajectories of five Jewish publishers who were key figures in the Argentine cultural modernization process between 1946 and 1970.

SUMMARY:Pranav Anand: “Detecting Persuasion and Argument Cross-Culturally”
DESCRIPTION:This talk reports on work that detects the kind of rhetorical structures a person uses when attempting to persuade an audience to believe or act in a certain manner. Professor Anand discusses the collection and annotation of 3000 English and 500 Arabic blogs for a variety of rhetorical structures implicated in persuasion by communication theorists and a computational system that tries to learn from these annotations. \nPranav Anand is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UCSC. \nSponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies with staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research\, UCSC.

SUMMARY:Keir Moulton: "CPs Don't Saturate - Deriving the Distribution of Clausal Complements"
DESCRIPTION:A classic puzzle about CPs is that they distribute differently than nominal arguments. This fact is reflected\, among other things\, by the order of complements in English (Stowell 1981) and the right-peripheral position of CPs in many OV languages (Hindi\, Farsi\, German). This distribution has traditionally been seen as a reflex of grammatical function\, most famously encoded by Stowell’s case resistance principle (or modern variants\, Pesetsky and Torrego 2004). \nIn this talk I argue that the syntactic distribution of clausal arguments has its source in the semantic type of CPs. I begin by establishing a puzzle: that clause-taking predicates only form non-event nominals. I argue that the explanation for this puzzle requires that CPs are never able to saturate an argument position (cf. Grimshaw 1990). This also prevents CPs from combining as the internal argument of verbs. The only solution\, I claim\, is to turn the vP into something with the meaning of a one-place\, non-verbal predicate\, with which the ‘complement CP’ can combine. We then show how this motivates a vP raising analysis of the rightward position of CPs (Larson 1988a\,b) as opposed to an anti-symmetry analysis (Zwart 1993\, and following) \nKeir Moulton (McGill University) will give this job talk as a candidate for the Linguistics department’s Syntax faculty position.
