SUMMARY:Alon Tal: "War\, Peace and the Environment in the Middle East"
DESCRIPTION:The history of the Israeli- Arab wars has had environmental implications which are often overlooked. Some pessimists argue that the next war will in the Middle East will be fought over water resources\, especially with climate change so profoundly changing precipitation patterns in the Mediterranean region. As the conflict drags on past its 60th year\, we will consider how the environment of Israel and in neighboring lands has been affected. How might the environment provide a bridge to bring the parties together? Did past peace agreements do a good job of ensuring environmental cooperation? President Obama is not the first to propose a “peace park” as one way of breaking the impasse on the Golan Heights. Learn about Naharaim – the existing Israeli- Jordan peace park and consider Israel’s environment in a regional context. \nProfessor Tal’s career has been a balance between academia and public interest advocacy. He is presently an Associate Professor of Environmental Policy at Ben Gurion University and chairman of Israel’s green party – “the Green Movement”. Tal has held faculty appointments at Tel Aviv and Hebrew Universities in Israel\, and was a visiting professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Between 1990 and 1998 he was an adjunct faculty member at Harvard University. Dr. Tal was the founding director of Adam Teva V’din\, the Israel Union for Environmental Defense from 1990-1997\, a leading public interest law group and was chairman of Life and Environment\, an umbrella group for eighty environmental organizations in Israel from 1998-2003. In 1996\, Dr. Tal founded the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies\, a graduate studies center in which Israeli\, Jordanian and Palestinian students join environmentalists from around the world in an advanced interdisciplinary research program. He currently is chairman of the committee for land development that oversees forestry and land reclamation on the international board of the Jewish National Fund (KKL) and represents Israel’s Foreign Ministry at the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. In 2006 he was awarded the Charles Bronfman humanitarian prize for environmental leadership. In 2008\, in honor of Israel’s 60th anniversary the Ministry of Environment granted him a life achievement award at age 48.

SUMMARY:Dorian Bell: "A 'Paradise of Parasites': Hannah Arendt\, Anti-Semitism\, and the Imperial Imagination"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Bell’s in-progress Frontiers of Hate: Anti-Semitism and Empire in Nineteenth-Century France explores articulations between anti-Semitism and imperialism that shaped the emergence of European racial thought. Arguing that colonial expansion helped French anti-Semitism adopt its modern racializing guise\, the book also examines how anti-Semitism participated in the ideological elaboration of the imperial project. \nDorian Bell is Assistant Professor of Literature at UCSC. \nSponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies with staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research\, UCSC.

SUMMARY:Matt Wagers: “Grammar on the Trailing Edge of the Conscious Present: What We Can Learn about Memory from Language Processing”
DESCRIPTION:Language comprehension seems fast\, effortless and error-free — at least\, to the extent that we can introspect about it. Underneath this apparently seamless part of our day-to-day experience lies a complex working memory system. To avoid overwhelming our limited processing capacity\, information is constantly being shuffled back and forth between states of accessibility and storage\, between attention and inattention. As a consequence\, linguistic knowledge\, richly detailed and precise\, must be adapted to a working memory which is rapid and error-prone. How this adaptation can be achieved is revealing\, both about how we remember language and about how we forget it. \nCo-sponsored by the Institute for Humanities Research and the Department of Linguistics.

SUMMARY:Omer Preminger: "The Nature of Syntactic Computation: Evidence from Agreement"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I argue for a particular logic by which agreement (in particular\, agreement between a verb or tense/aspect/mood-marker and a noun-phrase) is related to grammaticality\, and show how this conclusion illuminates certain longstanding questions in the theory of syntax. In particular\, I argue that agreement is best captured in terms of an operation. Crucially\, while invocation of this operation is obligatory\, its successful culmination is not enforced by the grammar. Such a theory contrasts sharply with alternatives that enforce agreement through representational devices such as un/interpretable features (Chomsky 2000\, 2001). The argument is based primarily on so-called “omnivorous agreement” effects in the Agent-Focus construction of Kaqchikel and K’ichee’\, with supporting evidence from Basque\, Icelandic\, and Hebrew. I then show how this conclusion leads to: (i) a reexamination of the relations between movement\, agreement\, and grammaticality; (ii) a particular understanding of what it means for a language to allow\, or not allow\, quirky subjects; and ultimately\, (iii) the conclusion that both agreement and morphological case must be part of the syntactic component proper (contra certain recent proposals in the literature). \nOmer Preminger (MIT) will give this job talk as a candidate for the Linguistics department’s Syntax faculty position.
