SUMMARY:Mary Flanagan\, "Propositions from a Critical Play Perspective"
DESCRIPTION:Mary Flanagan\n\n\n\nPropositions from a Critical Play Perspective\nIf games always hold within them cultural beliefs\, norms\, and human values\, how are designers to tackle the vexing responsibility of designing digital games? In this talk\, Flanagan examines the topics of games and values\, games and art\, the history of technology and games\, and motivation. How does art practice inform designing for values? What pitfalls might designers face when making games for social change? Flanagan takes the audience through a number of propositions that uncover strengths and weakness of games as a medium for social change and revolutionary play.\nKnown for her theories on playculture\, activist design\, and critical play\, Flanagan has achieved international acclaim for her novel interdisciplinary games\, artwork\, and theoretical writing\, her commitment to theory/practice research\, and contributions to social justice design arenas. She is particularly interested in issues of equity and authorship in technological environments\, and reworking commonly understood paradigms to provide collective strategies for social change. This talk draws primarily on her work in the Values at Play project and in her 2009 book\, Critical Play (MIT Press). Flanagan is the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor in Digital Humanities at Dartmouth College.\nhttp://www.maryflanagan.com/\nhttp://www.tiltfactor.org/

SUMMARY:Benjamin Cawthra\, “Envisioning Jazz: Considering Photography\, Race\, and American Music”
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Cawthra\, associate professor of history at \nBenjamin Cawthra\n\nCalifornia State University\, Fullerton and author of\nBlue Notes in Black and White: Photography and Jazz\n(Chicago\, 2011)\, discusses the tradition of jazz\nphotography and its relationship to mid-twentieth\ncentury racial politics. Cawthra will discuss the\nconnections among the photographers\, art directors\,\neditors\, and record producers who crafted a\nlook for jazz that would sell magazines and\nalbums. And on the other side of the lens\, he\nexplores how musicians shaped their public\nimages to further their own nancial and political\ngoals.

SUMMARY:Brooke Holmes\, "The Missing Body: Authority\, Immunity\, and Objectivity in Early Greek Medical Writing"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Program in Classical Studies presents: Professor Brooke Holmes\, Princeton University\, ‘The Missíng Body: Authority\, Immunity\, and Objectivity in Early Greek Medical Writing” \nBrooke Holms\nBrooke Holmes’ paper arises from a simple question: Why doesn’t the physician draw on his experience of his own body as a source of knowledge and authority in early Greek medical writing? In trying to answer it\, Professor Holmes argues that the very absence of the physician’s body represents an early phase in the history of disembodied authority in Western medicine and science. \nBrooke Holmes works at the intersections of Greek literature\, science and medicine\, and philosophy\, with particular interests in the history of subjectivity and the body\, materialism\, tragedy\, ethics\, critical theory\, and reception studies. She received her B.A. in Comparative Literature from Columbia and her Ph.D. from the Department of Comparative Literature at Princeton in 2005. She has taught since 2007 at Princeton\, where she is the Elias Boudinot Bicentennial Preceptorship\, Her first book\, The Symptom and the Subject: The Emergence of the Physical Body in Ancient Greece\, was published in 2010 by Princeton University Press.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Hagit Borer\, "In the Event of a Nominal"
DESCRIPTION:Hagit Borer\nThe paper is a detailed study of the properties of Argument-Structure derived -ing nominals versus those of -ing synthetic compounds. In particular\, I show that while -ing Argument Structure nominals are compositional and have event structure\, -ing synthetic compounds do not. I further argues that these contrasts may only be accounted for by a syntactic approach to the derivation of complex words. In particular\, it can only be accounted for under complete syntactic event decomposition\, which severs not only the external but also the internal argument(s) from the root and which allows the internal structure of complex words\, so-called\, to be syntactically visible. \nTaking as a starting point the study of the human language faculty within the generative approach\, Professor Borer’s research for the past 15 years spans three sub-areas of linguistics: comparative syntax\, morphosyntax and language acquisition. Her study of inter-grammatical variation and comparative syntax led to the development of the hypothesis that this variation is reducible to the functional/inflectional component. This hypothesis\, in turn\, served as a starting point for the study of the functional/ inflectional system in general and its interaction with syntax in particular\, therefore leading to the emergence of a morphosyntactic model. From a different perspective\, these hypotheses brought about the investigation of child language and the acquisition of grammatical knowledge. \nIn recent years\, Professor Borer has been pursuing an approach which shifts the computational load away from the lexical entry to the syntactic structure\, subscribing to the view that an independent linguistic lexicon includes a minimal amount of structural information\, and that it is structural constraints which determine traditionally lexical properties such as syntactic category type and argument structure. She has pursued the consequences of that approach for morphosyntax\, for language acquisition\, and for the syntax-semantics interface. \nHagit Borer is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Southern California. This talk is presented by the Department of Linguistics. For more information please contact Nathan Arnett\, nvarnett@ucsc.edu.
