SUMMARY:Every Protection: Exploring Pregnancy and Childbirth in the Jewish Pale of Settlement
DESCRIPTION:Debra Olin: Images and  Nathaniel Deutsch: Text\n\nSeptember 27 – October 11\, 2011\nOpening reception: Tuesday\, September 27\, 4-7pm\n \nEloise Pickard Smith Gallery\, Cowell College\, UC Santa Cruz\n \n \nUntil 1917\, most Jews of the Russian Empire were restricted to a region called the Pale of Settlement\, where they created their own distinctive folk culture. In 1914 the writer\, socialist revolutionary\, and ethnographer\, Sh. An-sky\, produced a massive Yiddish ethnographic questionnaire to document this culture\, including many questions concerning Jewish customs and beliefs connected to pregnancy and childbirth. In The Jewish Dark Continent: Life and Death in the Russian Pale of Settlement (Harvard University Press)\, UCSC professor Nathaniel Deutsch has translated An-sky’s questionnaire into English for the first time\, placing it within a rich historical context. Collaborating with Deutsch and inspired by her deep interest in Jewish women’s folk traditions\, Debra Olin has created illuminating artworks that represent and explore the dangerous\, magical\, and\, above all\, powerful experience of pregnancy and childbirth in the Pale of Settlement. \nDebra Olin is a printmaker\, living and working in Somerville\, Massachusetts. She received her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 1980. Olin has shown in exhibitions across the U.S.\, South Africa and Cuba. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Boston Public Library; Temple Israel\, Brookline\, Mass.; YIVO Institute\, NYC; The DeCordova Museum\, Lincoln\, Mass.; and the Fogg Art Museum\, Harvard University. In 2004 Debra was awarded the Rappaport Prize\, the largest public annual award to an individual artist in New England. For more information\, visit the artist’s website: http://debraolin.com/.\n \nGallery hours: 11am – 4pm\, Tuesday – Sunday. For more information call: (831) 459-2953. Gallery is fully accessible.

SUMMARY:Living Writers Reading Series: Jaimy Gordon
DESCRIPTION:Jaimy GordonThe Living Writers Reading Series presents Jaimy Gordon. Jaimy Gordon’s “fantasy” novel\, Shamp of the City-Solo\, gathered an underground following\, and is regarded as one of the finest comic novels in the last fifty years. Her most recent book\, Lord of Misrule\, won the National Book Award for fiction. \nJaimy Gordon is Professor of English at Western Michigan University.  For further information about Professor Gordon\, please visit her webpage at WMU: http://www.wmich.edu/english/directory/faculty/gordon.html. \nFor more information about the event\, please contact Micah Perks by email at meperks@ucsc.edu. Books will be available for sale at the talk\, courtesy of the Bay Tree Bookstore. \nThe Fall 2011 Living Writers Reading Series is sponsored by the Puknat Literary Fund\, the Porter Hitchcock Fund\, the UCSC Literature Department\, and the Sain Endowment.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Pranav Anand\, "Assessing the pragmatics of experiments: The case of scalar implicature"
DESCRIPTION:Pranav Anand\n“There is a growing impetus to examine pragmatic phenomena experimentally. Potentially complicating these investigations is the way in which the experimental environment itself shapes participants’ models of extra‐linguistic context. A spate of recent results collectively suggest that the computation of scalar implicature may be sensitive to a host of factors: task structure\, social norms\, and type of response elicited. However\, these results provide only a few points in a vast space of potential task parameters\, thereby limiting our ability to systematically model the interaction between linguistic forms\, context and pragmatic inference. This talk reports ongoing work to systematically investigate the parametric space of task design. We find that implicature calculation rates are sensitive to both the structure of the response elicited (e.g.\, scalar vs. unordered) as well as the task prompt (whether the participant judges “accuracy”\, “informativity”\, or “goodness”)\, and discuss the methodological lessons of this kind of work.” \nPranav Anand is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz. Professor Anand’s research focuses largely on two matters: how context intrudes into or guides the interpretive process and how perspective is grammatically represented. These are manifested by my interest in the de re/de se/de dicto contrasts\, the nature of subjectivity in evaluative and epistemic predication\, and the structure of indexical shift. \nHis current projects include the fine lexical semantics of attitude verbs; real-time processing of implicatures and plurality; computational modeling of multi-party discourse; and computational modeling of high-level discourse plans\, especially those involved in argumentation and persuasion. \nThis talk is presented by the Department of Linguistics.
