SUMMARY:Tanya Maria Golash-Boza: "Mass Deportation and the Neoliberal Cycle"
DESCRIPTION:The United States is deporting more people than ever before – nearly 400\,000 each year since 2006. Many deportees have close ties to the United States: in 2011\, 100\,000 deportees had U.S. citizen children. The vast majority of deportees are men of color. How do we explain this devastating policy shift? I argue that neoliberalism and\, by extension\, global capitalism\, make the mass deportation of men of color possible in the current context. Mass deportation is a U.S. policy response designed to relocate surplus labor to the periphery and to keep labor in the United States compliant. The U.S. public accepts this policy response because it targets men of color – people perceived to be expendable in the current economy. \nTanya Golash-Boza is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Merced. She is the author of three books: 1) Due Process Denied (2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; 2) Immigration Nation (2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that U.S. immigration policy has on human rights; and 3) Yo Soy Negro: Blackness in Peru (2011)\, the first book in English to address what it means to be black in Peru. She has also published many articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, human rights\, U.S. Latinos/as and Latin America\, in addition to essays and chapters in edited volumes and online venues. Her innovative scholarship was awarded the Distinguished Early Career Award from the Racial and Ethnic Minorities Studies Section of the American Sociological Association in 2010. \nEvent presented by the UCSC Sociology Colloquium Series and the Center for Labor Studies.

SUMMARY:David Myers: "A Hasidic Town in New York?  As American as Apple Pie?"
DESCRIPTION:David Myers is professor of Jewish history and chair of the UCLA History Department. He is currently at work with Nomi Stolzenberg (USC) on a book on the Satmar Hasidic community of Kiryas Joel\, New York. This project represents a significant departure from his work in the fields of German-Jewish intellectual history\, the history of Jewish historiography\, and the history of Zionism. In his current work\, he is combining historical\, ethnographic\, and legal approaches to examine the rise to prominence of a self-contained and legally recognized municipality in the State of New York that consists entirely of Hasidic Jews. His research shows that the creation of such a homogeneous shtetl has had few parallels in Jewish history\, though it is not nearly so unusual in American history\, which has an identifiable tradition of permitting strong forms of religious sub-communities to take root.\nReception to follow talk. \nThis event is presented by the Center for Jewish Studies with generous support from the David B. Gold Foundation.

SUMMARY:“Mendelsohn’s Incessant Visions” Screening and Q&A with Director Duki Dror
DESCRIPTION:Free and Open to the Public\nGeneral Admission Seating\, first come\, first served\nParking available in Performing Arts Lot ($4) \nSynopsis: This film is a cinematic mediation about the untold story of Erich Mendelsohn\,  whose life and career were as enigmatic and tragic as the path of the century. He drew sketches on tiny pieces of paper and sent them from the trenches to a young cellist\, who was waiting for him in Berlin.  She thought he was a genius and after WWI\, she helped him become the busiest architect in Germany.  When she planned to leave him for a communist poet\, he built a perfect house for her\, entirely planned by him from the lakeview living room\, to the silverware and her evening gowns.  When the Nazis came to power\, they abandoned the house and left Germany forever.  Erich and Louise Mendelsohn have wandered between continents\, between world wars\, between success and failure.  The buildings that Erich built around the world\, scattered as a trail of their journey\, have changed the history of architecture. \nAward-winning filmmaker and current Schusterman Visiting Artist\, Duki Dror (The Journey of Vaan Nguyen\, Raging Dove) has created a spectacular interpretation based on Erich and Louise’s relationship\, for one of the most captivating chapters in the development of modern art. \nWatch the Trailer \nPresented by The Arts Division and Film and Digital Media. Co-Sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies\, Arts Dean’s Arts Excellence Fund\, and Santa Cruz Jewish Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Claire Farago: "Seeing the Unmodern in the Modern: Leonardo and the Legibility of Religion"
DESCRIPTION:Written in an era before modern distinctions among art\, science\, and religion existed\, Leonardo da Vinci’s treatise on painting is regarded today as a canonical text in the history of western art for its scientific approach to problems of representation. New evidence suggests that prior to publication this text was appropriated in a Catholic Reformation effort designed to promote a legible style of painting suitable for sacred subjects. Today\, we do not usually think of it as ideologically freighted by the concerns of Christianity with the ontology of images. What does bringing together historical and contemporary theoretical approaches to questions of artifice–especially to the fantasy of a transparent\, indexical way of imitating nature that avoids artifice–offer contemporary visual studies? \nClaire Farago is Professor of Renaissance Art\, Theory\, and Criticism at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Her publications include Leonardo da Vinci’s Paragone: A Critical Interpretation (1992) and most recently\, Art Is Not What You Think It Is (2012)\, co-authored with Donald Preziosi\, as well as edited volumes and other collaborative projects including Reframing the Renaissance: Visual Culture in Europe and Latin America 1450 to 1650 (1995)\, Grasping the World: The Idea of the Museum (2004)\, Transforming Images: New Mexican Santos in-between Worlds (2006)\, and Re-Reading Leonardo: The Treatise on Painting across Europe 1550-1900 (2009). She has been a Distinguished Visiting Professor at UCLA\, the Wiley Visiting Professor of Renaissance Art at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill\, MacGeorge Fellow Visiting Professor at the University of Melbourne\, and the inaugural Fulbright-York Scholar at the University of York\, UK. Working with an international team of scholars\, currently she is preparing a modern critical edition of Leonardo da Vinci’s abridged Treatise on Painting first published in 1651. \nFor information or to accommodate a disability: History of Art and Visual Culture\, 459-4564\, havc@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Dante's Inferno directed by Sandow Birk
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public (English dialogue) \nMelding the seemingly disparate traditions of apocalyptic live-action graphic novel and charming Victorian-era toy theater\, Dante’s Inferno is a subversive\, darkly satirical update of the original 14th-century literary classic\, Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Retold with the use of intricately hand-drawn paper puppets and miniature sets\, and without the use of CGI effects\, this brilliant film takes viewers on a tour of Hell. \nSporting a hoodie and a hangover from the previous night’s debauchery\, Dante wakes to find he is lost — literally and metaphorically — in a strange part of town. He asks the first guy he sees for some help\, who turns out to be the ancient Roman poet Virgil\, author of the Aeneid. \nThe pair descends into the underworld\, where Virgil shows Dante the underbelly of the Inferno. Oddly enough\, it closely resembles the decayed landscape of modern urban life: used car lots\, strip malls\, airport security checks\, and the U.S. Capitol

SUMMARY:"Occupation Affect: On Political Emotion" Conference
DESCRIPTION:“Occupation Affect” seeks to take the emotional pulse of the current moment. Staging a day of public talks and a roundtable discussion\, followed by a half-day meeting\, we will gather a group of scholars to investigate the feelings that permeate both this era of economic collapse and the modes of adaptation as well as rebellion that have arisen in its midst. We want to explore the affective dimensions of the Great Recession and jobless “recovery\,” of bail-outs and sell-outs\, of tea parties and coffee klatches\, of magnificent inequality and vanishing public services\, of the growing concentration of wealth and the emergence of autonomous\, decentralized social movements\, of hopes dashed and hopes raised\, of diminishing faith in government and expanding political imaginaries\, of economic freefall and resurgent activist energy. We will\, in short\, investigate the current conjuncture through the lens of political emotion. \nIn this moment of economic restructuring toward an uncertain future and growing rebellion against the neoliberal global order\, we are curious about ordinary and extraordinary affects: their circulation and effects\, how we feel them and what we do with them\, what they signal and what they obscure\, how they use us and how we might use them. We want to better understand the conditions of possibility for political hope and despair; the sources and effects of apocalyptic feelings; and how senses of impossibility sometimes fade and new horizons suddenly emerge. What do we all do to stay afloat\, what new subjectivities are arising amid ongoing crises\, what new social relations\, new ways of thinking\, feeling\, and doing\, are being generated in the current conjuncture? \nFeelings\, emotion\, and affect have continued for over a decade now to fascinate scholars across the disciplines. The terrain is slippery\, taking as its object of research viscerality\, nonrationality\, the sensed\, that which is bodily\, inchoate\, ineffable\, and to the side of consciousness. We wish to investigate the theoretical\, philosophical\, and political trajectories the affective turn opens up for making sense of\, and figuring out how to intervene in\, the contemporary moment. \nThe Affect Working Group draws together faculty and graduate students from across the University—American Studies\, Anthropology\, Art\, Computer Science\, Feminist Studies\, Film and Digital Media\, History of Art and Visual Culture\, History of Consciousness\, Latin American and Latino Studies\, Literature\, Politics\, and Sociology—who are interested in the felt dimensions of social life. With this conference\, we hope to advance our discussions with one another and contribute to a larger discussion among similar research/art/activist collaboratives around the country\, including Feel Tank Chicago and Public Feelings groups in Austin\, Texas and New York City.\n  \nConference Schedule\, Saturday\, Humanities 210 \n9:00 a.m. – Breakfast \n9:30 a.m. – Introduction \n10 – 11:30 a.m.\nPanel 1: Political Emotion and Activist Affect: Occupy and other Social Movements\nModerator: Dean Mathiowetz (Politics\, UCSC)\nElizabeth Freeman (English\, UCD)\nDebbie Gould (Sociology\, UCSC)\nLyn Hejinian (English\, UCB)\nRei Terada (Comparative Literature\, UCI) \n11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.\nPanel 2: Affective Technologies and New Media\nModerator: Sharon Daniel (Film & Digital Media\, UCSC)\nHerman Gray (Sociology\, UCSC)\nKim Lau (Literature\, UCSC)\nSoraya Murray (Film & Digital Media\, UCSC)\nNoah Wardrip-Fruin (Compute Science\, SOE\, UCSC) \n1 – 2:15 p.m. – Lunch \n2:30 – 4 p.m.\nPanel 3: The Politics of Ordinary Affect\nModerator: Carla Freccero (Literature\, History of Consciousness\, Feminist Studies\, UCSC)\nMel Chen (Gender & Women’s Studies\, UCB)\nArlie Hochschild (Sociology\, UCB)\nJerry Neu (Humanities\, UCSC)\nSianne Ngai (English\, Stanford) \n4 – 4:15 p.m. – Coffee break \n4:15 – 5:30 p.m.\nConcluding Roundtable \nKaren Barad (Feminist Studies\, UCSC)\nVilashini Cooppan (Literature\, UCSC)\nSharon Daniel (Film & Digital Media\, UCSC)\nDee Hibbert-Jones (Art\, UCSC)\nDean Mathiowetz (Politics\, UCSC)\nVanita Seth (Politics\, UCSC)\nAnna Tsing (Anthropology\, UCSC)\n  \nSponsored by the UC Humanities Network\, a UCHRI Conference Grant\, the Social Sciences Division.
