SUMMARY:Otávio Bueno: "Seeing with a Microscope"

SUMMARY:Joanne Barker: "In Debt: A Reconsideration of 'Race\, Empire\, and the Crisis of the Subprime' from Manna-Hata"
DESCRIPTION:Intervening in populist\, Occupy Wall Street discourses about the subprime crisis and its remedies\, this talk critically uncovers Manna Hata from Manhattan. Offering a long genealogical view of the militarized dispossession\, genocide\, and enslavement of Native peoples in order to problematize the subprime crisis as a signifier of racism\, this talk focuses on territorial expansion\, resource destruction and extraction\, labor exploitation\, and debt as past and present depredations upon Native nations and their citizens within the United States. In so doing\, this talk addresses Native debt in ways left unaccounted for in a proliferation of recent scholarship on debt\, including the special issue of American Quarterly\, “Race\, Empire\, and the Crisis of the Subprime.” By tracing current U.S. and global economic formations and their crises to inaugural violence upon Native nations and their citizens\, this talk examines the foundational nature of the U.S. military foreclosure of Native lands as part of its territorial homeland and its appropriation of Native bodies into its system of indentured labor relative to the crisis of home mortgages and their speculative securities. \nJoanne Barker (Lenape [Delaware Tribe of Indians]) is associate professor of American Indian Studies at San Francisco State University. She received her Ph.D. in the History of Consciousness Department from the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, in 2000 on the work of identity and identification in indigenous struggles for sovereignty and self-determination. She is author of Native Acts: Law Recognition\, and Cultural Authenticity (Duke University Press\, 2011) and editor of Sovereignty Matters: Locations of Contestation and Possibility in Indigenous Struggles for Self-Determination (Nebraska\, 2005). She is involved in cultural repatriation rights\, environmental issues\, human rights\, and anti-war politics. She has been the recipient of fellowships from the University of California\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, and the Ford Foundation.

SUMMARY:Jim McCloskey: "Preverbs\, Phases\, and Objecthood: An Irish Perspective on Some Old Problems"
DESCRIPTION:The direct object relation is a relation of central importance in syntactic theory and so it was an important moment when the nature of that relation was re-thought in a fundamental way in work of the 1990’s. This paper examines some of the issues raised in that re-thinking\, by looking closely at the expression of the direct object relation in Irish (infinitival) clauses. It focuses in particular on what is to be learned from an intricate pattern of dialectal\, idiolectal\, and generational variation which\, it is claimed\, sheds light on how we should understand `Burzio’s Generalization’\, which is\nitself a central aspect of theories of objecthood which derive from Government Binding Theory. \nJim McCloskey is Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz.
