SUMMARY:Adriana M. Brodsky: "Becoming Jewish-Argentines: Marriage choice\, and the construction of a Jewish Argentine Identity (1920-1960)"
DESCRIPTION:The presentation explores the marriage patterns of the Sephardi Jewish communities\, paying special attention to when Sephardim began marrying Ashkenazi Jews\, thereby giving birth to a new type of Jewish identity\, neither fully Ashkenazi nor fully Sephardi\, but Argentine. Although initially Sephardim respected the boundaries of their communities of origin\, and usually married ‘within’\, as the twentieth century progressed and new spaces for interaction of Jews from different origins became available choosing a marriage partner outside of the ‘group’ became more common. The presentation will suggest that loyalties to communities of origin slowly evolved into a stronger sense of belonging to the Argentine nation. \nAdriana M. Brodsky\, Associate Professor of Latin American History at St. Mary’s College of Maryland\, obtained her PhD from Duke University in 2004. She is currently finishing a manuscript entitled Becoming Argentine Jews: Sephardim and the Construction of Ethnic and National Identities\, 1880-1960\, which focuses on the Sephardic communities that settled in Argentina from the end of the 19th century to mid-20th century\, and has co-edited with Raanan Rein (Tel Aviv University) a book titled The New Jewish Argentina (Brill\, 2012). She has published on Sephardi schools in Argentina\, and on Jewish Beauty Contests. Her new project explores the experiences of Argentine Sephardi youth in the 1960s-1970s\, which has received support from the Hadassah- Brandeis Institute.

SUMMARY:Center for Cultural Studies Colloquium - Christine Hong: "'War Is the Force That Gives Us Meaning': Militarized Queerness\, Lieutenant Dan Choi\, and Korean War Mascotry"
DESCRIPTION:“‘War Is the Force That Gives Us Meaning’: Militarized Queerness\, Lieutenant Dan Choi\, and Korean War Mascotry” \nOffering a historically layered examination of the rights-based battle waged by former Lt. Dan Choi\, son of a war orphan\, against the now-defunct policy of “Don’t Ask\, Don’t Tell\,” this talk inquires into the homology between queer masking in the U.S. military and the Korean War practice of child mascotry. \nChristine Hong is Assistant Professor of Literature at UCSC.

SUMMARY:Radical Reading Practices\, A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Radical Reading Practices\, A Symposium\, April 18-19\, 2013\nPresented by UCSC’s Poetry and Politics Research Cluster. Sponsored by the Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund and the UC Humanities Network\, with staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research. \nThis symposium attends to the work that readers perform when reading and reconstructing poetry. We focus on the particular ways poetry makes historically and politically significant demands on readers. We hope to foster a conversation about assumptions that structure the way we approach poetry and the larger aesthetic\, historical and theoretical categories that are implicated by our approach. Is poetry\, for example\, a more radical category than prose? Is there a revolutionary way to read it? Is close reading necessary when reading poetry? Is close reading a more radical mode of engaging with texts than other practices? What might those other practices look like? \nSymposium Schedule:\nThursday\, April 18th\, at the Felix Kulpa Gallery (107 Elm Street\, Santa Cruz) \n5:30-7:00pm An evening of poetry with readings:\nChristopher Nealon\nJoshua Anderson\nEmily Carr\nDavid de La Rocha\nGrace Emilie\nDavid Lau\nEireene Nealand\nRob Wilson\nStephanie Young\nFriday\, April 19th at UC Santa Cruz (Humanities 1\, room 210) \n8:30-9:00am Light Breakfast \n9:00-9:30am Opening remarks\nwith Keegan Finberg and Juliana Leslie \n9:30-10:45am Radical Reading Practices: An Undergraduate Roundtable \nMatthew Strebe\, “‘Boots Shining and Gleaming’: Poetry and State Violence”\nGrace Emilie\, “The Unknown Heart Speaks: Embodied Reading Practices and You”\nAnnie Hill\, “Faust Ubersetzt”\nMichael Moreno\, “Technology and Me: A Look at the Effects of Integrating Technology with Poetry”\nGrace Williams\, “Reproduction through Interpretation: Exploring Critical Reading”\nModerator and respondent: Tim Willcutts \n11:00-12:30pm Panel One: Commons\, Collectivity\, Community: From Ancient to Contemporary\nStephanie Young\, “Precarious Reading”\nEmily Carr\, “A\,B\,C: Reading Cultural Jams in Contemporary Poetry”\nKendra Dority\, “Figuring Letters: A Politics of Comparative Reading in Athenaeus’ Deipnosophistae”\nModerator and respondent: Christopher Nealon \n12:30-1:30pm Lunch—bring your own or eat on campus restaurants \n1:30-3:00pm Panel Two: Historicizing Revolutionary Reading Practices \nDaniel Benjamin\, “Searching for the Human and Searching for the Ghost in George Oppen’s “Of Being Numerous”\nDavid de la Rocha\, “Nicaraguan Poetry and Reading Revolution”\nDavid Lau\, “Poetry as Superstructure: Comments on Chris Nealon’s The Matter of Capital”\nModerator and respondent: Dion Farquhar \n3:15-4:45pm Panel Three: Models of Reception/Questions of Audience \nWhitney De Vos\, “Artificial Memory & the Fate of Crystallized Intelligence: Reading Poetry as a Means of Retrieval”\nEireene Nealand\, “Why Should We Listen to Criminals?: The Death of the Reader and the Rise of the Trace”\nJoshua Anderson\, “Implications of the Surface: A Critique of Surface Reading”\nModerator and respondent: Chris Chen \n5:00-6:00pm Keynote by Christopher Nealon\, “Poetry without Modernity” \n6:00pm Reception at the Cowell Provost’s House
