SUMMARY:Bruce Lawrence: "Minor Matters - Asian/African\, Muslim/Christian"
DESCRIPTION:How do Muslims and Christians together meet the challenge of majority-minority identity politics in the 21st century? I will assess the status of minority citizenship in places of Africa and Asia that have mixed communities where Muslims are the majority\, Christians the minority. Though these communities might be religiously marked as Muslim and Christian\, they also have other cultural\, linguistic\, ethnic\, and locational markings that are consequential. More than minority identity\, I will argue that the litmus test for good will\, comity and collective benefit in each case is citizenship rights as well as access to public space. How are these rights negotiated and maintained\, monitored and modified in diverse settings with disparate resources? I will pay special attention to the circumstances and options for Copts in Egypt\, Kristens and Katolics in Indonesia\, while at the same time linking them to other communities in both Africa and Asia where a similar Muslim-Christian proportionality prevails. \nBruce Lawrence earned his PhD. from Yale University in the History of Religions: Islam and Hinduism. His research ranges from institutional Islam to Indo-Persian Sufism and also encompasses the comparative study of religious movements. He is Professor Emeritus of Islamic Studies at Duke University. His recent books have included On Violence – A Reader (with Aisha Karim); Messages to the World\, The Statements of Osama Bin Laden; The Quran\, A Biography; and\, with his spouse\, Dr. Miriam Cooke\, Muslim Networks from Hajj to Hip Hop. \nCosponsored by UCSC Departments of Anthropology\, History\, and Literature. \nMORNING WORKSHOP – 10:00am to Noon – Humanities 1\, Room 210 \nProfessor Lawrence will also be doing a workshop on Tuesday morning which will revolve around  Irfan Ahmad’s article\, “Immanent Critique and Islam: Anthropological Reflections” and Lawrence’s attempt to apply Ahmad’s most salient lessons to his current work-in-progress\, Who is Allah?  \nDownload the articles here:  Irfan Ahmad’s Immanent Critique and Who is Allah (work in progress) \n

SUMMARY:Center for Cultural Studies Colloquium - Kimberly Lau: "Camping Masculinity"
DESCRIPTION:Kimberly Lau’s work explores some of the ways that World of Warcraft engages masculinity in play through the convergence of player practices\, game designers\, and the ongoing interaction between the two.  Reading invocations of hypermasculinity\, Lau investigates how everyday “camp” practices might open up alternative spaces and forms of masculine sociality. \nKimberly Lau is Professor of Literature at UCSC.

SUMMARY:Stevenson College Faculty Lecture Series: Adrian Brasoveanu
DESCRIPTION:NEGATION IS A PERVASIVE FEATURE of natural language and for the most part\, the linguistic and psycholinguistic literature takes it to be a categorical\, binary notion: the sentence “Sue left” is positive\, while the sentence “Sue didn’t leave” is negative because of the sentential negation “didn’t.” \nAt the same time\, sentences like “Anna answered none of/few of my letters” have been taken to involve some form of negativity despite the fact that they do not contain sentential negations–-but their negativity has not been explicitly quantified. \nThe first part of the talk presents a new test for detecting and quantifying the negativity of a sentence based on the observation that negative sentences license the particle “no” in agreeing responses\, e.g.\, (1) below\, while positive sentences do not license “no” in agreeing responses\, indicated by the star in (2) below. \n(1)\nA: Anna didn’t answer my letter.\nB: No\, she didn’t.\n\n(2)\nA: Anna answered\nB: *No\, she did. \nAfter providing experimental evidence that backs up this novel test\, the talk discusses an experiment that uses the test to quantify the negativity of sentences like “Anna answered none of/few of my letters.” The results support the view that sentence negativity is a matter of degree and it is influenced by interacting semantic and syntactic factors. \n\n  \nDinner Reception follows at the Stevenson Provost House \nAdrian Brasoveanu is Associate Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz. \nCosponsored by the Institute for Humanities Research and the Department of Linguistics.
