SUMMARY:Amelia Jones: "Activating the Feminist Body and the Curating of Feminist Art"
DESCRIPTION:The Museum and Curatorial Studies (MACS) Research Cluster presents:\nAmelia Jones\, Professor and Grierson Chair in Visual Culture\, McGill University \nThis paper takes off from a brief history of the curating of feminist art in the North American and European contexts. My aim is to think about the exhibition\, and the feminist show in particular\, as a junction between practice and theoretical thought\, a place of intersection between art making\, the writing of art history\, and the positing of critical interventions in institutions. I propose to look at these interrelated questions by a two-part inquiry\, looking at both a history of feminist curating and a small selection of practices that might\, precisely by maintaining an openness to ever- shifting structures of sexual and gender difference\, be impossible to “tame” fully through curatorial practice. \nThis is the final event organized according to the 2011-2012 MACS research theme Exhibitions and Performance. \nFor more information\, please contact Lucian Gomoll at macs@ucsc.edu or visit the MACS website at http://macs.ucsc.edu/ \nCo-sponsored by History of Consciousness\, History of Art and Visual Culture\, and Feminist Studies.

SUMMARY:Charles Post: "The American Road to Capitalism"
DESCRIPTION:University Press Books and the 2430 Arts Alliance invite you to join\nCharles Post for a reading and discussion of his new book: \nThe American Road to Capitalism:\nStudies in Class Structure\, Economic Development and Political Conflict\, 1620-1877\n\n“Charles Post’s new book\, The American Road to Capitalism\, is sure to become a reference point for debates among historians and Marxists about the transformation of the English colonies into the fully developed capitalist United States. […] it should be widely read\, appreciated for its insights and rigor\, and also debated.” —Ashley Smith\, International Socialist Review \n“This is a thoughtful\, learned\, stimulating\, challenging and altogether valuable volume. It reprints a series of reflections by the Marxist sociologist Charles Post on various aspects of the rise and evolution of capitalism in North America between the colonial era and the late 19th century. The book is anchored in a wide-ranging study of (and it duly credits) the work of generations of historians.” —Bruce Levine\, author of Confederate Emancipation: Southern Plans to Free and Arm Slaves during the Civil War\, in Against the Current \n“Explaining the origin and early development of American capitalism is a particularly challenging task. It is in some ways even more difficult than in other cases to strike the right historical balance\, capturing the systemic imperatives of capitalism\, and explaining how they emerged\, while doing justice to historical particularities… To confront these historical complexities requires both a command of historical detail and a clear theoretical grasp of capitalism’s systemic imperatives\, a combination that is all too rare. Charles Post succeeds in striking that difficult balance\, which makes his book a major contribution to truly historical scholarship.” —Ellen Meiksins-Wood\, York University\, author of The Origins of Capitalism: A Long View. \nUnable to analyze the dynamics of specific forms of social labour in the antebellum U.S.\, most historians of the US Civil War have ignored its deep social roots. To search out these roots\, Post applies the theoretical insights from the transition debates to the historical literature on the U.S. to produce a new analysis of the origins of American capitalism. \nCharles Post Ph. D. (1983) in Sociology\, SUNY-Binghamton\, is Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College-CUNY. He has published in New Left Review\, Journal of Peasant Studies\, Journal of Agrarian Change\, Against the Current and Historical Materialism. \nSponsored by the History of Consciousness Department. Co-sponsored by the Sociology Department and the History Department.
