SUMMARY:Women\, Jews and Venetians Conference
DESCRIPTION:“L’Italie\, Laboratoire de la modernite juive\,” — Workshop of Jewish Modernity –  a group of scholars recently characterized Venice and the Ghetto and thereby focused discussion on how this laboratory shaped Jewish modernity.  Carrying forward a recently emerging scholarly view about early modern Jewish communities\, these essays emphasize the interaction of the Jews in the Ghetto with the larger Venetian populace and polity\, reminding us that the Ghetto came to be named “La Citta degli ebrei.” An island set apart from and yet part of the city on the lagoon\, the Ghetto became a political\, social\, and cultural locus of historical and symbolic status. \nYet the roles women played in this forging of modern Jewish identity are often absent from the conversation. Notable women such as Dona Gracia Nasi and Sarra Copia Sulam appear here and there. However\, there is little sustained attentiveness to the ways in which Jewish and Venetian women across the social spectrum responded to emerging modern habits and processes. Their contribution to the “workshop of Jewish modernity” has not been charted – and thus we know little as to how and to what extent women were able to express and take agency in many spheres\, from cultural practices and financial activities to intellectual pursuits. \nOur gathering is directed to bringing women into the Venetian historical account. We will focus on the ways in which Jewish women\, in part through their connections to other Venetian and Italian women\, helped to articulate what it was to be modern\, and thus participated in the forging of modern Venetian\, Italian\, and Jewish identities. We anticipate that there also will be discussion of the contributions of non-Jewish women in shaping the image and understanding of contemporary Venice and Venetian Jewish life. We envision that this objective might be approached through multiple disciplines\, literature\, history\, and art history among them. \nThis conference seeks to help open new lines of scholarly inquiry\, which we might continue to build at subsequent gatherings\, with the eventual aim of organizing a larger conference in Venice in the near future. In keeping with the exploratory purpose of this gathering\, featured lectures are followed by panels\, — whose participants will take the conversation forward. \nSchedule (View Program) \nSUNDAY\, MAY 22 \n7:00–8:30 pm \nShaul Bassi\, Ca’ Foscari\, University of Venice\, “From Shakespeare to Erica Jong: Jewish Women and Cultural Politics” \n8:30 pm \nReception \nMONDAY\, MAY 23 \n9:00–11:00 am \nPANEL: Venice\, Portal to Jewish Modernity  \nLisa Calevi\, University of Oregon\, “Jewish Childhoods” \nDr. Leonard Rothman\, MD OBGYN retired\, Independent Scholar formerly of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine\, “Venetian Midwives\, and Modern Medicine” \nMonique Balbuena\, University of Oregon\,  “The Languages of the Conversas” \nRespondent: Lisa Pon\, Southern Methodist University \n11:15 am – 12:15 pm \nCynthia Baker\, Bates College\, “The Essentially Ambiguous Jewess: An Ancient Trope in Modern Europe” \n12:15–2:00 pm \nLunch \nMurray Baumgarten\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\,  “Ghetto Matters\, the Venice Center\, and Planning for 2016: Suggestions and Discussion” \n2:00–3:30 pm \nPANEL: Women and the Arts  \nJill Fields\, California State University Fresno\, “The Writing of Peggy Guggenheim: Narrating Gender\, Jewish Identity\, and the Avant-Garde in Twentieth-Century Venice” \nDr. Joanna Harris\, dance historian\, Osher Lifelong Learning\, University of California\, Berkeley\, “Two Historic Italian Women And Their Contribution To The Arts: Isabella Andreini — Commedia Dell’arte—and Catherine De Medici– Classical Ballet” \nRespondent: Deanna Shemek\, University of California\, Santa Cruz \n3:30–4:00 pm \nRefreshments \n4:00–5:15 pm \nGretchen-Starr-Lebeau\, University of Kentucky\, “Judging by Gender: Venetian Jewish Women Before the Inquisition” \n5:15–6:15 pm \nDinner \n6:15–7:15 pm             \nHoward Adelman\, Queen’s University\, Kingston\, Ontario\, “What Jews on the Rialto?  The Venetian Adventures of Beatrice and Reyna de Luna” \n7:30–8:45 pm \nPANEL: Representations of Venetian Jewish Women \nMiriam Shein\, Independent Scholar\, “Reflection from the Ghetto: Creating a Venetian Jewish Heroine” \nYael Chaver\, University of California\, Berkeley\, “20th Century Jewish Translations of Jessica.”    \nRespondent: Robin Russin\, University of California\, Riverside \n 8:45–9: 15 pm \nRefreshments \nTUESDAY\, MAY 24 \n9:00–10:15 am \nDon Harrán\, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, “Sarra Copia Sulam\, A Seventeenth-Century Jewish Poet in Search of Immortality” \n10:15–10:30 \nCoffee \n10:30–12:30 \nPANEL: Jewish Women and the Public World  \nDr. Ariella Lang\, Barnard College\, “Margherita Sarfatti\, Mussolini\, and 20th Century Public Life”  \n Michael Shapiro\, University of Illinois/Loyola University\, “Women and Hidden Jews under Nazi Occupation: Roberto Bassi’s Evidence” \nWill Wells \, Dean\, Rhodes State College\, “Translating the Poems of Sarra Copia Sulam”  \nRespondent: Paul Michelson\, Huntington University \n12:30 pm \nLunch & a riverderci \nThis conference sponsored by the UCSC Center for Jewish Studies\, the Museo Italo-Americano of San Francisco\, and the Venice Center for International Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Nancy Hornberger: "Multilingual Education Policy and Practice: Ten Certainties (Grounded in Indigenous Experience)"
DESCRIPTION:Ethnic diversity and inequality\, intercultural communication and contact\, and global political and economic interdependence are acknowledged realities in today’s world. Multilingual education\, too\, is a fact of life\, and though there are a great variety of contexts\, models\, contents\, and developmental trajectories in multilingual education policy and practice\, it is possible to discern continuities that characterize successful multilingual education wherever it is found. My emphasis here is on what we know and are sure of\, analytically formulated as ten certainties and illustrated by empirical research.\nThis talk is presented by the Language Program Colloquium Series.\n  \n

SUMMARY:Dai Jin-hua: "In Vogue: Politics and National Ethnicity in Lust\, Caution and the Lust\, Caution Phenomenon in China"
DESCRIPTION:Dai Jinhua is Founder and Director of the Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies and Film Studies at Peking University\, where she is also Professor of Chinese Literature and Language.  She is a prominent cultural scholar of literature\, film\, and popular culture. With Meng Yue\, she wrote the 1989 Emerging on the Horizon of History\, one of the first works of feminist scholarship published in reform-era China.  Her work as a film scholar and media critic questions the social legitimacy of consumer culture in China\, while problematizing the elitist lineage of Western Marxism and reflecting on Chinese modes of intellectual endeavor during the last three decades. Dai Jinhua’s publications include Film Theory and Criticism\, Gendering China\, Cinema and Desire\, and Scenery in the Fog: Chinese Cinema Culture 1978-1988.   The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Chinese Culture comments of her work\, “Her innovative experiments with different critical approaches and the feminist perspective with which she re-examined dominant theories of literature\, film and popular culture introduced a new way of critical analysis far beyond her field in China. The development of her own dynamic cultural critique also addressed a growing audience in Taiwan\, Hong Kong and the West.” \nSponsored by the Department of History with Generous Support from the Nee Fun

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Neo Benshi
DESCRIPTION:Neo Benshi\, Roxi Power Hamilton\, Jen Hofer and Konrad Steiner present a new take on the Japanese tradition of “benshi”—a writer or actor who provides live narration and commentary alongside films. The neo-benshi concept invites writers/performers to choose scenes from well-known narrative features or TV shows\, mute the soundtrack\, and re-inscribe the familiar images with new meanings. \nEach quarter\, the Living Writers Reading Series brings visiting authors and poets to UC Santa Cruz to give students an in-depth look into the world of the working writer.  Sponsored by Oakes College and the Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund.

SUMMARY:Under the Sign of War: U.S. Militarism and Asian Americanist Critique
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Pacific Seminar returns focus to war\, both as a way of invoking the foundational anti-Vietnam War struggles that inaugurated Asian American studies as an urgent political and epistemological project and as a contemporary analytic that wields the potential of reconfiguring the project of Asian American studies today.  In particular\, this year’s Pacific Seminar workshop\, led by Wei Ming Dariotis (San Francisco State) and Jennifer Kwon-Dobbs (St. Olaf College)\, highlights and historicizes the emergence of mixed-race studies and critical adoption studies as simultaneously origin-animating and field-transforming directions within Asian American studies.  Inquiring into the centrality of U.S. wars in Asia to mixed-race studies and critical adoption studies\, this year’s workshop approaches Asian American studies not as a rigid crystallized academic tradition but rather as a critical intellectual formation whose shifting contours are shaped and renewed by engagement with the political.  In other words\, not simply reducible to new identitarian directions in an academic field whose expansion (and incoherence)\, as critics have argued\, reflect demographic changes brought on by immigration\, mixed-race studies and critical adoption studies\, by raising the question of geopolitics\, biopolitics\, and necropolitics relative to U.S. wars and militarism in the Asia Pacific region\, pose fundamental challenges to an identity-based approach to Asian American studies.   As with the inaugural formation of Asian American studies\, these emergent areas of activism and socially engaged scholarship\, as this year’s workshop will explore\, cannot be theorized outside a framework of U.S. imperialism and war. \nWei Ming Dariotis is Assistant Professor of Asian American Studies\, with an emphasis on Asian Americans of Mixed Heritage and Asian American Literature\, Arts\, and Culture. She has served on the Boards of Directors of Hapa Issues Forum\, the Asian American Theater Company\, and iPride\, and on the Advisory Boards of Kearny Street Workshop and the Asian American Women Artists Association.  Her poetry has been published in Mixed Up\,Too Mixed Up\, 580 Split\, and Yellow as Turmeric\, Fragrant as Cloves: A Contemporary Anthology of Asian American Women’s Poetry. Her academic essays have been published in Mixed Race Literature (2002)\, Restoried Selves: Autobiographies of Queer Asian American Activists (2004)\, Chinese America: History and Perspectives (2007)\, The Influence of Star Trek on Television\, Film and Culture (2007)\, and Interracial Relationships in the 21st Century (2009).  Her current project is War Baby | Love Child: Mixed Race Asian American Art\, co-curated and co-edited with Laura Kina\, an art exhibit (Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle and the De Paul University Art Museum in Chicago\, 2013)\, and a book (under formal review at University of Washington Press). \nJennifer Kwon Dobbs is Assistant Professor of English and Creative Writing and director of American Race and Multicultural Studies at St. Olaf College.  She is former core staff for Truth and Reconciliation for the Adoption Community of Korea (TRACK) and a current fellow with the Korea Policy Institute.  Jennifer’s debut collection\, Paper Pavilion (White Pine Press 2007)\, received the White Pine Press Poetry Prize and the Sheila Motton Book Award\, and her chapbook\, Song of a Mirror\, was a finalist for the Tupelo Press Snowbound Series Chapbook Award.  Columns and new stories about Jennifer’s present research on Korean adoptee birth searches and unwed mothers have appeared in Chosun Ilbo\, Conducive Magazine\, Gyeonghyang News\, Hankyoreh\, Korea Herald\, Korea Times\, Pressian\, and Yonhap News.  Currently she is writing a book of essays about unwed moms’ realities with the Korean Unwed Mothers and Families Association and a second book of poetry. \nParticipation: Please note that this is a reading workshop.  To take part in the workshop and to obtain readings in advance\, please RSVP to Christine Hong at cjhong@ucsc.edu.
