SUMMARY:POSTPONED: The Anthropology Cultural Colloquium presents: Nathaniel Deutsch
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE POSTPONED: The Anthropology Cultural Colloquium prevention of Nathaniel Deutsch\,“The Jewish Dark Continent: Inventing Jewish Ethnography in the Russian Pale of Settlement” / has ben postponed from This Monday\, January 23rd to Monday\, March 12 / 3:30 pm\, 261 Social Science 1 \nThe Anthropology Cultural Colloquium presents: \nNathaniel Deutsch\nNathaniel Deutsch\, Professor of History\, UCSC \n\n\n“The Jewish Dark Continent:  Inventing Jewish Ethnography in the Russian Pale of Settlement”\nOn the eve of World War I\, the Russian Jewish writer\, socialist revolutionary\, and aspiring ethnographer named An-sky set out on an ethnographic expedition into the Pale of Settlement\, the area of the Russian Empire to which a vast majority of its Jews were restricted prior to the Revolution. Over the course of three seasons\, An-sky and his team recorded thousands of tales\, jokes\, and incantations\, took hundreds of photos\, and collected numerous artifacts\, manuscripts\, and other objects. They also designed a massive life-cycle questionnaire consisting of 2087 questions entitled “The Jewish Ethnographic Program” for use in the field. An-sky’s goal was to document the traditional Jewish life of the Pale of Settlement before it disappeared forever and\, in the process\, to create a distinctly Jewish ethnography. \nNathaniel Deutsch is Professor of History and Literature at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he is also the Director of the Institute for Humanities Research and the Co-Director of the Center for Jewish Studies. He has been a professor at Swarthmore College\, a visiting professor at Stanford University\, and the The Workmen’s Circle/Dr. Emanuel Patt Visiting Professor in Eastern European Jewish Studies at the YIVO Institute. Deutsch is the author of five books\, most recently The Jewish Dark Continent: Life and Death in the Russian Pale of Settlement(Harvard University Press\, 2011)\, for which he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. \nContact: Allyson Ramage\, aramage@ucsc.edu for more information.

SUMMARY:Gerard Passannante:  "Little Big World: Disaster and the Materialist Imagination"
DESCRIPTION:The Literature Department invites you to attend a talk held in conjunction with the search for a position in Early Modern Comparative Studies/Shakespeare. \nProfessor Passannante looks at the habit of making much of little–shifting between small things (details\, fossilized seashells\, words) and big ideas. Tracing this disaster-courting habit of mind from the writings of Montaigne and Shakespeare’s Othello to Robert Hooke’s discourses on earthquakes and the work of Vico and Boulanger\, he argues that this most familiar operation has deep roots in the ways that early modern readers came to terms with the hidden violence of the materialist imagination. \nGerard Passannante received his B.A. from Yale in 2000 and Ph.D. from Princeton in 2007. He is the author of a number of articles on the history of science and literature in the Renaissance\, and has recently published a book entitled The Lucretian Renaissance: Philology and the Afterlife of Tradition (Chicago). Professor Passannante has been a Rome Prize fellow at the American Academy in Rome and has had fellowships at The Folger Shakespeare Library and The National Humanities Center.\nAt 4:30 pm\, Professor Passannante will conduct a graduate-student-only seminar on Carlo Ginzburg’s “Clues”

SUMMARY:"What is a Reader?" Day of Events
DESCRIPTION:Alberto Manguel: "Homage to Humpty Dumpty\, or Can We Make Words Say What We Want Them to Say?"The Teagle Fund Working Group\, “What is a Reader?” invites you to attend a day of events to be hosted at the University of California\, Santa Cruz on January 26th\, 2012. \nWhat is a Reader? is a multi-campus project supported by the Teagle Foundation’s Big Questions in the Disciplines initiative. Established in 2009 by faculty members in English and Literature departments from Mills College\, Stanford University\, UC Berkeley\, and UC Santa Cruz\, the group seeks to understand undergraduate literacy today in historical perspective and its implications for the study of literature at the college level. Please see: whatisareader.stanford.edu. \nOur special event will be a public lecture by book historian\, novelist\, and essayist Alberto Manguel at 5 PM in Humanities 1\, Room 210. See poster for details. In addition\, faculty\, staff\, and graduate students are warmly invited to two events earlier the same day.\n \n10:30-12:30 UCSC MCHENRY LIBRARY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS. TWO LECTURES.\nElisabeth Remak-Honnef\, McHenry Library Special Collections\n“Ten Weeks with Medieval Books in McHenry Library” \nElisabeth Remak-Honnef is the Rare Books Librarian and bibliographer for Art History\, Art and Classics at McHenry Library. Before coming to UC Santa Cruz in 1995\, she worked for many years at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek cataloging medieval Latin manuscripts. She received her advanced degrees from the University of North Carolina (PhD Comparative Literature) and the Ecole nationale des Chartes in Paris (archiviste-paléographe). \nSince 2001\, she has regularly taught an upper-division class on the history of the medieval book for the Art History and History departments at UC Santa Cruz. The course provides a survey of the evolution of book production and use in medieval Europe.  Concentrating primarily on the relationship between text and image in medieval illuminated manuscripts in the art history class and on the power of writing and book collections in the history class\, students examine how and for whom books were made\, how they were decorated and used\, and how they have survived. This talk will explore how students read and think about reading after an introduction to codicology. \nHeidi Brayman Hackell\, University of California\, Riverside Department of English\n“Early Modern Scenes of Reading” \nWhere did early moderns read?  What objects conjured up a scene of reading in early modern drama and prose fiction?  This talk will explore the materials that ornamented scenes of reading\, the tools readers used\, and the primary objects of readerly attention – books\, broadsides\, letters\, inscriptions\, images – in order to interrogate the category of the “reader” in early modern England. \nHeidi Brayman Hackel is Associate Professor of English at the University of California\, Riverside.  She is the author of Reading Material in Early Modern England: Print\, Gender\, and Literacy (2005) and co-editor of Reading Women: Literacy\, Authorship\, and Culture in the Atlantic World\, 1500-1800 (2008) and Teaching Early Modern English Literature from the Archives (forthcoming 2012).  Her current book project is titled “Dumb Eloquence: Deafness\, Muteness\, and Gesture in Early Modern England.”\n \n1:30-3:30 UCSC MCHENRY LIBRARY\, SECOND FLOOR. WORKSHOP DISCUSSION OF ESSAYS.\nThe Teagle Workshop group will be discussing a suite of articles related to the topic of our event\, “Spaces of Reading\, Objects of Reading.” These readings follow upon those we shared at previous Teagle Workshops\, which may be found listed on our group’s Website: whatisareader.stanford.edu \nBrayman Hackel\, Heidi. “Reading Women.” The History of British Women’s Writing\, 1500-1610 (Vol. 2). New York: Palgrave Macmillan\, 2010. 17-33. \nThis article addresses the challenges of discerning women as readers in the sixteenth century\, examining multiple forms of historical evidence of women’s literacy such as diaries and memoirs while carefully distinguishing different reading practices. Evidence of gendered differences in literacy belies any simple assertion that most women were illiterate and therefore not reading. \nGrafton\, Anthony. “Apocalypse in the stacks? The research library in the age of Google.” Daedalus (Winter 2009): 87-98 \nThis article provides an overview of the logistics of traditional print vs. newer online repositories in libraries\, weighing the costs and benefits of both models. Grafton explains that online media are not replacing print media\, but that both are proliferating at once\, putting dual pressures on university libraries. He explores the changes the Internet has brought to research and reading practices as well as to libraries. \nManguel\, Alberto. “The Library as Power.” The Library at Night. Toronto: Alfred A. Knopf\, 2006. 91-104. \nThis chapter explores the totemic power granted books and the power of libraries as monuments and memorials founded by public figures. Though built to consolidate power\, ironically\, public libraries such as the Carnegie Libraries had the effect of empowering the public that used them. \nPoblete\, Juan. “Reading as a Historical Practice in Latin America: The first Colonial Period to the Nineteenth Century.” The Literary Cultures of Latin America: A Comparative History (Vol. 1: Configurations of Literary Culture). Oxford: Oxford University Press\, 2004. Eds. Mario J. Valdes and Djelal Kadir. 178-192. \nThis article argues for an understanding of the social\, collective production of meaning in the interpretation of texts\, rather than a decontextualized discourse analysis. This understanding of the location of reading practices is applied to pre-colonial and colonial situations in the reception and understanding of texts in Latin America. The essay offer suggestive points of departure for discussion of the formation of communities of readers in the new media of today. \nInterested faculty\, staff\, and graduates students are welcome to join us. For pdf copies of these readings\, contact Laurel Peacock.\n \n5:00 HUMANITIES 1\, ROOM 210. ALBERTO MANGUEL: “HOMAGE TO HUMPTY DUMPTY\, OR CAN WE MAKE WORDS SAY WHAT WE WANT THEM TO SAY?”
