SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: Who Can Kill a Child?
DESCRIPTION:Misfit Horror  \nA film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \n  \nJanuary 19th – Who Can Kill a Child? One of the most disturbing horror films from a decade that was conspicuously filled with them\, Who Can Kill a Child? takes The Birds (1963) and replaces Alfred Hitchcock’s bloodthirsty birds with an island full of homicidal children. Directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (whose other horror film of note is the wonderfully sordid and atmospheric The House That Screamed from 1969)\, this Spanish production opens with a documentary montage of atrocity footage from around the world (the Holocaust\, the Korean War\, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971\, etc.) to polemically motivate the reasons why the children of the small island of Almanzora have collectively murdered the adult population there. Arriving in Almanzora on holiday\, the baby-expecting couple of Tom (Lewis Fiander) and Evelyn (Prunella Ransome) discover that the island appears to be deserted. Shops are untended\, no bellboys are waiting in the foyers of the island’s hotels\, restaurants are totally devoid of patrons or servers. The benign suspicion that the inhabitants are all on siesta\, however\, soon shifts to doubts and fears about the children who start to appear everywhere. Though not a gory film\, Who Can Kill a Child? remains a supremely unsettling film that will linger with you for a long time\, like it or lump it. Not to be missed! \n  \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly. \n  \nFor more information\, please visit: ihr.ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Martin Devecka: "Some Ends of the City: Ruins and Utopia in the Ancient World"
DESCRIPTION:The Literature Department invites you to attend a talk held in conjunction with the search for a position in Mediterranean Studies: Ancient Comparative \nWhy do ruins happen? Are they caused by natural catastrophes\, invasions\, economic collapse\, state failure\, or by something else? This talk will address these questions from a new perspective\, integrating sociological comparison of ancient societies including Arabia\, Athens\, and Rome with analysis of ancient writings about ruins to suggest that literary fantasies about post-urban life may play as important a part in bringing about the destruction of cities as any of the causes conventionally invoked by historians. \nMartin Devecka is a Mellon Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University\, where he received his Ph.D. in Classics and Comparative Literature in 2012. He has taught there and at Brown University on subjects ranging from Latin political thought to Greco-Roman zoology. His research interests include animals\, the history of technology\, and the cultures of the Red Sea.

SUMMARY:Annie Gagliardi: "Grammar-parser tension in language acquisition: Evidence from Q'anjob'al relative clauses"
DESCRIPTION:Built into the grammatical architecture of any language we find constraints on possible structures. The processing system that uses these structures appears to have inherent preferences in how we interpret them. By looking at a domain where there exists tension between what constraint a learner might expect their language to conform to and the interpretations that are easier to arrive at\, we can learn more about what a learner’s own abilities and expectations contribute to language acquisition. In this talk we look at one case where grammatical constraints pull in the opposite direction of the preferences of the system using those constraints: A-bar extraction of transitive subjects. In particular\, we look at the comprehension of relative clauses by children and adults in Q’anjob’al\, Mayan language where extraction of ergative marked subjects is reportedly banned. Results of a comprehension experiment with adults and children suggest that this tension does affect language acquisition\, and may effect language change. \nAnnie Gagliardi is a Linguistics Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University. \n

SUMMARY:Gabriela Zapata: "Investigating the Connection between Learning and Assessment: Formative Assessment in Intermediate L2 Spanish Classes"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This paper investigates the connection between learning and assessment by examining the implementation of ACTFL’s Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) in intermediate\, L2 Spanish classes. There were 880 students who participated in this classroom-based study. This presentation will discuss the following: 1) the theoretical and pedagogical bases of IPA; 2) the materials and tasks that were created; 3) the steps followed for its successful implementation; and 4) the results of a study on students’ and instructors’ perceptions of IPA and the relationship between classroom content and assessment. In addition\, we will compare the results of IPA-based assessment tools with those from previous\, more traditional evaluation tools. \nGabriela Zapata is Associate Professor and Director of Spanish and Portuguese Language Programs at the University of Southern California.
