SUMMARY:"The Motherhood Archives" film screening and discussion
DESCRIPTION:Archival montage\, science fiction\, and an homage to 70s feminist filmmaking are woven together to form this haunting and lyrical essay film excavating hidden histories of childbirth in the twentieth century. Assembling an extraordinary archive of over 100 educational\, industrial\, and medical training films (including newly rediscovered Soviet and French childbirth films)\, The Motherhood Archives inventively untangles the complex\, sometimes surprising genealogies of maternal education. Revealing a world of intensive training\, rehearsal\, and performative preparation for the unknown that is ultimately incommensurate with experience\, The Motherhood Archives is a meditation on the maternal body as a site of institutional control\, ideological surveillance\, medical knowledge\, and nationalist state intervention.\n  \nIntroduction by Neda Atanasoski (Feminist Studies) \nPost-screening discussion with the filmmaker\, Irene Lusztig\, and:\nNancy Chen (Anthropology)\nJenny Horne (Film & Digital Media)\nFelicity Schaeffer (Feminist Studies) \nReception to follow in Communications 139\n  \nPresented by the Center for Documentary Arts and Research and the Departments of Anthropology\, Feminist Studies\, and Film & Digital Media.

SUMMARY:Film Screening of "Maestra" with Filmmaker Catherine Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Cuba\, 1961: 250\,000 volunteers taught 700\,000 people to read and write in one year. 100\,000 of the teachers were under 18 years old. Over half were women. Maestra explores this story through the personal testimonies of the young women who went out to teach literacy in rural communities across the island – and found themselves deeply transformed in the process. \nThere will be a Q & A with the filmmaker after the screening. \nCo-sponsored by The Chicano/Latino Research Center\, The Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, and the Social Documentation Program. \nFor more information contact the Latin American and Latino Studies Department\, or Professor Lourdes Martínez-Echazábal at: lourdes@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Undisciplining Feminism: Formations in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together a core group of UC and Cal State faculty working at the intersections of feminist studies and ethnic studies\, we will generate a curricular vision that\, rather than being negatively constructed as a critique (of patriarchy\, mainstream feminism\, “wave”-based periodizations\, etc.) begins with concepts like race\, empire\, and settler colonialism. Conversely\, we imagine ethnic studies as foundationally organized around gender and sexuality\, centered on concepts such as reproduction and sexual violence. While critiques of Women and Gender Studies and Ethnic Studies as disciplinary formations have long existed\, we hope that by generating shared curricular materials\, we can further engage the intellectual repercussions of (inter)disciplinarity and strategize ways to make institutional interventions. We aim to collectively generate the kind of work called for by such critiques\, and to share strategies for the careful institutionalization of such work. \nThis event is intended to support current efforts to establish a Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) program at UC Santa Cruz\, in addition to enabling a conversation amongst group participants. While student efforts at establishing ethnic studies as a major have a long history at UCSC\, it was not until the disestablishment of American Studies\, which led to massive student protests against the lack of institutional support for the study of race and ethnicity in 2011-12\, that these efforts received administrative attention. In 2012-13\, a working group consisting of faculty\, undergraduates\, and graduate students has met regularly around a series of talks and workshops aimed at developing a CRES major. The major was approved in Spring 2012\, with courses scheduled to begin 2012-13. The public portion of our event\, sponsored by Bettina Aptheker and Karen Tei Yamashita’s Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, is intended to be in conversation with and to raise the profile of CRES\, as well as the launch of the Feminist Studies graduate program. \nSome questions that we hope to address through this event: \nWhere\, why and to what effect does the complicity of feminisms with the security state\, the carceral turn\, settler colonial states\, and so forth take place?\nWhat are some alternative genealogies of feminism (perhaps not recognizable or identified as such) that we might consider as generative for thinking about difference? Why might they not be as legible as points of departure for feminism? What are the political possibilities and perils of visibility and legibility?\nHow might existing scholarship already be producing alternative genealogies for a practice and politics of feminism?\nTo learn more about the conference\, and to access the agenda and abstracts\, please visit: http://ihr.ucsc.edu/undisciplining-feminism/. \nThis event is free and open to the public.\n \n

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Lucy Corin
