SUMMARY:Yair Dalal: "Bridge to Babylon Lecture on Jewish Middle Eastern Music"
DESCRIPTION:Composer\, violinist\, oud player and singer Yair Dalal was born in 1955. His family came to Israel from Baghdad\, and his Iraqi roots are embedded in his musical work. Whether working on his own\, or with his Alol ensemble\, Dalal creates new Middle Eastern music by interweaving the traditions of Iraqi and Jewish Arabic music with a range of influences originating from such diverse cultural milieus as the Balkans to India. \nOver the last decade he has recorded 11 albums covering wide and varied cultural territory and authentically representing Israel’s cultures and fusing them through music as whole. Much of Dalal’s work reflects his extensive musical skills in both classical and Arabic music and also reflects a strong affinity he has for the desert and its habitants. \nHe has played in concerts worldwide\, collaborated with top musicians from all over the world\, from different disciplines\, including: celebrated western classical conductor and Maestro Zubin Mehta\, Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI\, L. Shankar\, Hamza El Din\, Omar Faruk Tekbilek\, Michel Bismuth\, Ken Zuckerman\, Alam Khan\, Jim Santi\, Armand Aamar\, Shlomo Mintz\, Maurice El Medioni\, Mustafa Raza\, Cihat Askin\, Nagati Chelik\, Ensemble Kaboul\, Adel Salameh\, Morwan Abado\, the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra\, Kamerata Jerusalem Orchestra\, Melmo symphonic orchestra\, and many more. \nPresented by the Music Department.

SUMMARY:Visual Performance Studies Presents: Fabian Barba
DESCRIPTION:Temporalities of Reenactment: A Speaker Series\, 2011-2012\n\nFabian Barba\nIndependent artist\, Belgium\n\nReenacting the Dances of Mary Wigman \nA Lecture Demonstration (Studio A-105\, Theater Arts Center) \nFriday\, February 3rd at 2pm \nThe recent retrospective of the work of Marina Abramovic at MOMA in New York brought to wide public attention the phenomenon of what she called the “reperformance” of her earlier work\, which had only existed until then as one-time events recorded on film.  Bringing this ephemeral performance work into the museum space as a live artifact raised consciousness of a broader trend currently taking place in contemporary dance\, theatre\, film\, video and performance art.  Reenactment raises questions of the differences between reconstruction\, revival\, adaptation\, reinvention\, quotation\, amplification\, and the kinds of temporalities these strategies to recover past performance signify. But beyond the terminological questions\, issues of artist identity\, authenticity\, and history emerge in direct relationship with performative documentary activity. The question of the event and the document become dramatically foregrounded. The question of trauma and catharsis in relation to reenactment is salient as became clear in our first seminar with Chip Lord and Magaret Morse. \n\n\n\nReenactment of the work of one artist by another has been a form of contemporary creativity in theatre\, film\, dance\, and performance for some time\, but has been gaining momentum as a major trend of artistic production and research.  Clearly\, it evokes the connections of historiography and interpretation to art making that documents the past in a non-literal or even paradoxical yet exacting and rigorous way that evades certain mimetic conventions.  It is time to ask what sorts of temporality are deployed in reenactments\, and how new sorts of temporality reframe notions of documentation\, reconstruction/reinvention\, citation/quotation\, and amplification of an earlier work or event in the contemporary moment. \nThis year-long speaker series will present artists and scholars specializing in this area of contemporary creativity.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Masaya Yoshida
DESCRIPTION:Masaya Yoshida\nThe focus of Professor Yoshida’s research is on aspects of syntactic representations both in static knowledge of language and in real time sentence processing. The studies carried out so far attempted to integrate work in theoretical and typological syntax and experimental psycholinguistics in order to reveal representations of sentence structures built in real time and mechanisms working behind online sentence processing. \nResearch interests include: \n\nHuman Sentence Processing : Syntactic prediction in online sentence processing\, Processing of Islands\, Processing of Ellipsis.\nSyntax: Cross-Linguistic Studies on Island Constraints\, Ellipsis Phenomena (the syntax of sluicing and gapping)\, P-stranding Parameter\, The syntax of conditional clauses in Japanese.\n\nMasaya Yoshida is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Northwestern University.

SUMMARY:Labor Across the Food System Conference
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Center for Labor Studies presents\n \n\nFRIDAY & SATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 3-4\, 2012\n\n  \nFOOD SYSTEM WORKERS are often a glaring absence in discussions of the contemporary global food system\, even though they are employed in some of the most labor-intensive industries within the entire economy\, among them agricultural field work\, food processing\, food distribution\, and restaurants of all kinds. The new food localism privileges questions of “where food comes from” over “how” and “who” questions about the conditions under which food is grown\, shipped\, processed\, cooked\, served\, and sold. Labor Across the Food System will advance research and advocacy by bringing key scholars and advocates to Santa Cruz for discussions of the critical role of labor and social justice in remaking the global food system. \nKeynote Lecture by local historian\, Frank Bardacke\nauthor of Trampling Out the Vintage: Cesar Chavez and the Two Souls of the United Farm Workers\nFriday\, February 3\, 2012\, 7pm\nHumanities Lecture Hall\, UCSC \nConference\nSaturday\, February 4\, 2012\, 8:30am-5:30pm\nHumanities Lecture Hall\, UCSC \nParticipants Include:\nPatricia Allen\, UC Santa Cruz\nDana Frank\, UC Santa Cruz\nShannon Gleeson\, UC Santa Cruz\nJulie Guthman\, UC Santa Cruz\nDavid Brundage\, UC Santa Cruz\nCarolina Bank Muñoz\, Brooklyn College\nDeborah Barndt\, York University\nLucas Benitez\, Coalition of Immokalee Workers\nChris Bohner\, UNITE HERE\nSandy Brown\, UC Berkeley\nCharlotte Chang\, UC Berkeley\nMaría Teresa Gastón\, University of Nebraska\nEric Holt-Gimenez\, Food First\nDavid Griffith\, East Carolina University\nSaru Jayaraman\, Restaurant Opportunity Center\nJoann Lo\, Food Chain Workers Alliance\nYvonne Yen Liu\, Applied Research Center\nDon Mitchell\, Syracuse University\nMónica Ramírez\, Southern Poverty Law Center\nChris Tilly\, UC Los Angeles \nLabor Across the Food System\, organized and sponsored by the Center for Labor Studies in collaboration with the UCSC Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems (CASFS) and the Food First Institute for Food and Development Policy.
