SUMMARY:Sunaina Maira: "More Delicate Than a Flower\, Yet Harder Than a Rock: Human Rights in the Shadow of an Empire"
DESCRIPTION:This talk focuses on the political mobilization of young people targeted by the War on Terror\, exploring what it means to challenge the U.S. imperial state from within and to engage in solidarity with those beyond its borders who are targets of imperial violence. It draws on an ethnographic study of South Asian\, Arab\, and Afghan American youth in Silicon Valley and new forms of politics and coalition-building that have emerged since 9/11 among youth who are seen as prime suspects in the domestic War on Terror. What does it mean to view the political subjecthood of South Asian\, Arab\, and Afghan American youth through the theoretical lenses of critical ethnic studies and work on imperialism and settler colonialism? The research demonstrates that while college-age youth often turn to the framework of civil rights and human rights in responding to regimes of surveillance and policing and opposing overseas wars and occupation\, they also have to confront the failure of liberal rights-talk in particular instances of political organizing that go beyond a politics of multicultural recognition. \nSunaina Maira is Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Davis. She is the author of Desis in the House: Indian American Youth Culture in New York City and Missing: Youth\, Citizenship\, and Empire After 9/11. She is coeditor (with Elisabeth Soep) of Youthscapes: The Popular\, the National\, the Global and (with Rajini Srikanth) of Contours of the Heart: South Asians Map North America\, which won the American Book Award in 1997. Maira has worked with various antiwar\, civil rights\, and immigrant rights groups in the Bay Area.\nThis event is organized and sponsored by the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Program. Cosponsored by the University of California Center for New Racial Studies\, the Division of Humanities at UCSC\, and the UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies. Staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:William Wells: "Keeping Faith in Word and Spirit: Translating the Work of Two Jewish/Italian Poets"
DESCRIPTION:Will’s most recent book of poems\, Unsettled Accounts\, won the 2009 Hollis Summers Poetry Prize and was published in February of 2010 by Ohio University/Swallow Press. On its basis\, he was chosen as a Walter E. Dakin Fellow in Poetry for the 2010 Sewanee Writers’ Conference and as 2010 Ohio Poet of the Year (selected by the State Library of Ohio). He has previously won an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Ohio Arts Council (1996)\, an N.E.A. Fellowship in poetry\, and four scholarly fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, most of which have involved translation of various Italian poets. Most recently\, this involved translating the sonnets of Sara Coppia Sullam during the NEH Summer Institute on “Venice\, The Jews and Italian Culture” in 2006. Subsequent presentations and articles have focused upon the translation of Sullam’s sonnets. Other N.E.H. experiences included a summer Institute on Literary Translation at the University of California\, Santa Cruz in 1988. His previous volume of poems\, Conversing with the Light\, was chosen by Henry Taylor for the 1987 Anhinga Prize and published by Anhinga Press of Tallahassee. He has also translated Umberto Saba’s first volume of poems\, Trieste and a Lady\, and that volume is currently in circulation with publishers. His current poetry manuscript\, tentatively\, titled Scraps and Damaged Lots\, is nearly finished. He serves as Professor of English and Dean of Arts & Sciences at Rhodes State College in Ohio. \nThis event is made possible from generous support from the David B. Gold Foundation.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Colloquium ~ Scott Gilbert: "We are all lichens: How symbiosis research has reconstituted a new realm of individuality"
DESCRIPTION:4:00pm\, Humanities 1\, Room 210\nCo-Sponsored by UCSC Philosophy\, History of Consciousness\, Cultural Studies\, and Science and Justice Working Group \n ABSTRACT: The notion of the “biological individual” is crucial to studies of genetics\, immunology\, evolution\, development\, anatomy\, and physiology. Each of these biological sub-disciplines has a specific conception of individuality\, which has historically provided conceptual contexts for integrating newly acquired data. During the past decade\, nucleic acid analysis\, especially genomic sequencing and high-throughput RNA techniques\, has challenged each of these disciplinary definitions by finding significant interactions of animals and plants with symbiotic microorganisms that disrupt the boundaries which heretofore had characterized the biological individual. Animals cannot be considered individuals by anatomical\, or physiological criteria\, because a diversity of symbionts are both present and functional in completing metabolic pathways and serving other physiological functions. Similarly\, these new studies have shown that animal development is incomplete without symbionts. Symbionts also constitute a second mode of genetic inheritance\, providing selectable genetic variation for natural selection. The immune system also develops\, in part\, in dialogue with symbionts\, and thereby functions as a mechanism for integrating microbes into the animal-cell community. Recognizing the “holobiont”—the multicellular eukaryote plus its colonies of persistent symbionts– as a critically important unit of anatomy\, development\, physiology\, immunology\, and evolution\, opens up new investigative avenues and conceptually challenges the ways in which the biological sub-disciplines have heretofore characterized living entities. \nABOUT: Scott F. Gilbert is the Howard A. Schneiderman Professor of Biology at Swarthmore College\, where he teaches developmental genetics\, embryology\, and the history and critiques of biology. He received his B.A. in both biology and religion from Wesleyan University (1971)\, and he earned his PhD in biology from the pediatric genetics laboratory of Dr. Barbara Migeon at the Johns Hopkins University (1976). His M.A. in the history of science\, also from The Johns Hopkins University\, was done under the supervision of Dr. Donna Haraway. He pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Wisconsin in the laboratories of Dr. Masayasu Nomura and Dr. Robert Auerbach. Dr. Gilbert has been Chair of the Division of Developmental and Cell Biology of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology\, and he is a member of the education committee of the Society for Developmental Biology. \nHe has also been elected a fellow of the AAAS and the St. Petersburg Society of Naturalists. He currently has three books in print:Developmental Biology (a textbook in its eighth edition)\, Bioethics and the New Embryology (a volume\, co-authored with two students\, that discusses new findings in developmental biology with respect to philosophy and religion)\, and Ecological Developmental Biology\, a textbook co-authored with David Epel which integrates developmental plasticity\, epigenetics\, and symbiosis into discussions of medicine and evolution. Scott has received several awards\, including the Medal of François I from the Collège de France\, the Dwight J. Ingle Memorial Writing Award\, the Choice Outstanding Academic Book Award\,  honorary doctorates from the University of Helsinki and the University of Tartu\, and a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Grant. In 2002\, the Society for Developmental Biology awarded him its first Viktor Hamburger Prize for Excellence in Education\, and in 2004\, he was awarded the Kowalevsky Prize in Evolutionary Developmental Biology. He has recently become a Finland Distinguished Professor at the University of Helsinki and has received a grant from the National Science Foundation to work on that most interesting of topics-how the turtle forms its shell-and he continues to do research and write in both developmental biology and in the history and philosophy of biology. \nOutside the class and laboratory\, his interests include hiking\, photography\, and he plays piano in KNISH\, one of Swarthmore’s premier Klezmer bands

SUMMARY:Andries W. Coetzee: "A lexical route to voicing co-occurrence restrictions: the case of Afrikaans"
DESCRIPTION:Many languages have restrictions on the co-occurrence of laryngeally marked segments (such as voiced obstruents\, aspirates\, glottalized consonants\, etc.). Current theories of sound change ascribe the origin of these restrictions either to speaker-oriented articulatory forces (grammaticalization of articulatory simplification) or to listener-oriented perceptual forces (grammaticalization of misperception). In this presentation\, I will argue for a third possible source for these co-occurrence restrictions\, based on a newly developing restriction in Afrikaans. I will argue that co-occurrence restrictions can also arise via a lexical route. Through the gradual lexical accumulation of sound changes\, a pattern consistent with a co-occurrence restriction can accidentally arise in the lexicon of some language. Once the pattern has been lexically established\, language users can then elevate the pattern to a grammatical principle via a statistical learning mechanism. I will first establish the existence of the voicing co-occurrence in Afrikaans relying on the three kinds of evidence: (i) Evidence for the pattern in the Afrikaans lexicon. (ii) The results of a wug-test with Afrikaans speakers. (iii) Evidence from non-standard minority varieties of Afrikaans in which the restriction has been established more firmly than in Standard Afrikaans. I will then trace the developments of the Afrikaans lexicon from Dutch\, showing that the lexical pattern in Afrikaans is an accidental side-effect of a series of unrelated sound changes that applied in the development from Dutch to Afrikaans. \nAndries W. Coetzee is Associate Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Michigan.
