SUMMARY:Kristin Ross: "Notes on the 'Cellular Regime of Nationality': Internationalism & The Paris Commune"
DESCRIPTION:The talk is taken from Communal Luxury (forthcoming from Editions La fabrique). Ross discusses the political imaginary that fueled and outlived the Paris Commune of 1871\, here considered within frames provided by contemporary militant concerns: the problem of refashioning an internationalist conjuncture; the future of education\, labor and the status of art; the commune-form and its relation to ecological theory. The “communal luxury” produced by the Commune’s “working existence” was prolonged and elaborated in the political thought produced in the 1870s and the 1880s\, when Communard exiles met up and collaborated with a number of their supporters and fellow travelers\, notably Marx\, Kropotkin and William Morris. \nKristin Ross is Professor of Comparative Literature at New York University. She is the author of The Emergence of Social Space: Rimbaud and the Paris Commune (1988); Fast Cars\, Clean Bodies: Decolonization and the Reordering of French Culture (1995); and May ’68 and its Afterlives (2002). \nThis talk is presented by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster\, and the History of Consciousness and Literature Departments.

SUMMARY:Steven J. Zipperstein: "How the 1903 Kishinev Pogrom Changed Jewish History"
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Diller Family Endowment Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies presents:\nSteven J. Zipperstein: “How the 1903 Kishinev Pogrom Changed Jewish History” \nKishinev’s 1903 pogrom was the first instance when an event in Russian Jewish life received wide hearing. The riot\, leaving 49 dead\, in an obscure border town\, dominated headlines in the western world for weeks\, it intruded on US-Russian relations\, and it left an imprint on an astonishingly diverse range of institutions including the nascent Jewish army in Palestine\, the NAACP\, and\, most likely\, the first version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. How was it that incident came to define so much\, and for so long? \nSteven J. Zipperstein is the Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History at Stanford University. He has also taught at universities in Russia\, Poland\, France\, and Israel; for six years\, he taught at Oxford University. For sixteen years he was Director of the Taube Center for Jewish Studies at Stanford. He is the author and editor of eight books including The Jews of Odessa: A Cultural History (1986\, winner of the Smilen Prize for the Outstanding book in Jewish history); Elusive Prophet: Ahad Ha’am and the Origins of Zionism (1993\, winner of the National Jewish Book Award); Imagining Russian Jewry (1999); and Rosenfeld’s Lives: Fame\, Oblivion\, and the Furies of Writing (2008\, shortlisted for the National Jewish Book Award in Biography\, Autobiography and Memoir). His work has been translated into Russian\, Hebrew\, and French. He has been awarded the Leviant Prize of the Modern Language Association\, the Judah Magnes Gold Medal of the American Friends of the Hebrew University\, and the Koret Prize for Outstanding Contributions to the American Jewish community. Zipperstein’s articles have appeared in The New York Times Sunday Book Review\, the Washington Post\, The New Republic\, the Jewish Review of Books\, Chronicle of Higher Education and elsewhere. He is an editor of the journal Jewish Social Studies\, the book series Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture\, and the Yale University Press/Leon Black Foundation Jewish Lives series. In spring 2013\, he will be the first Jacob Kronhill Visiting Scholar at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. Zipperstein is Chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History\, in New York.\nEvery year we honor Helen Diller\, whose generous endowment continues to provide crucial support to Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, by hosting a public lecture series on campus by an internationally recognized scholar. \nThis event was made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Complicated Labors: Feminism\, Maternity\, and Creative Practice (Symposium & Gallery Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:The Complicated Labor Research Cluster is an interdisciplinary collaboration that brings together artists\, writers\, and scholars around questions of feminism\, maternity\, and creative process. It seeks to center questions of care in our research and art whether they are explicit sites of inspiration and study or simply important to the conditions in which we undertake expressive practices. Through film\, visual art and photography\, performance\, writing\, and scholarship we will explore the complexities of contemporary motherhood. \nThis symposium\, with keynote address by foundational feminist artist Mary Kelly\, will create a space for critical interdisciplinary dialogue around issues of maternity\, feminism\, art-making\, and writing\, explicitly putting the 1970s in conversation with the current moment and putting writers in conversation with visual artists. The symposium is on Feb 5th from 10am-5pm at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) Light Lab and will be followed by a gallery exhibition and reception from 5-7pm at the Sesnon Art Gallery. \nSymposium – Feb 5 @ 10:00am-5:00pm\nDigital Arts Research Center (DARC) Light Lab\, UCSC\nFree and Open to the Public \nNearly forty years after Mary Kelly’s germinal 1976 exhibition of Post-Partum Document\, the work of women artists who explicitly engage with images\, processes\, and experiences of maternity remains marginalized and relatively misrecognized in the art world.  Despite a notable resurgence of attention to the maternal in 21st Century art theory and practice\, such work is more often than not\, read inside a discourse of indulgence\, sentimentality\, and identity rather than as representative of larger concerns with ecological systems\, ethics\, care\, or labor.  Complicated Labors investigates this problem\, bringing together historical and contemporary work addressing maternal labor to ask questions about the status of feminism — and feminist art — today. \nGallery Reception – Feb 5 @ 5:00-7:00pm\nSesnon Art Gallery\, UCSC\nComplicated Labors Gallery Exhibition runs from February 5 – March 15\, 2014 \nComplicated Labors builds on recent group exhibitions on the topic\, including Myrel Chernick’s and Jennie Klein’s 2004 and 2006 Maternal Metaphors and Maternal Metaphors II and Natalie Loveless’s 2010 New Maternalisms.  This exhibition addresses recent books such as Andrea Liss’s 2009 Feminist Art and the Maternal\, new journals such as Studies in the Maternal\, and new collectives such as Broodwork. \nSymposium Schedule:\n\n10:00 AM – Welcome (Micah Perks and Irene Lusztig) \n10:30 AM – Mary Kelly Keynote (opening remarks) \n11AM: Maternal Interventions (artist panel and discussion) \n12:30 – LUNCH \n2:30 PM – Maternal Secrets (writer panel and discussion) \n4:15 PM Closing Remarks by Megan Moodie \n5:00 – 7:00 PM Opening reception\, Sesnon Gallery (with performance by Alejandra Herrera Silva) \nAll events are free and open to the public. \nSymposium & Gallery Participants:\nKeynote:\nMary Kelly is an American conceptual artist\, feminist\, writer\, and professor of art and critical theory in the School of Art and Architecture at UCLA. \nWriters:\nAmra Brooks was born and raised in California.

SUMMARY:Kathi Weeks: “The Problem with Work: Feminism\, Marxism\, Antiwork Politics and   Postwork Imaginaries”
DESCRIPTION:Kathi Weeks is an Associate Professor in the Women’s Studies Program at Duke University. Her primary interests are in the fields of political theory\, feminist theory\, Marxist thought\, the critical study of work\, and utopian studies. She is the author of The Problem with Work: Feminism\, Marxism\, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries (Duke UP\, 2011) and Constituting Feminist Subjects (Cornell UP\, 1998)\, and a co-editor of The Jameson Reader (Blackwell\, 2000). \nThis event is part of “The Origins of Civil Society” organized by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster. The development of the discipline of political economy\, including its dialogue with modern political philosophy\, is closely intertwined with the rise and expansion of capitalist society. As we turn our attention today to capitalism’s crisis tendencies and the future of market society\, a critical examination of this foundational history becomes the starting point of the analysis of the present. This lecture series addresses the origins of civil society from several vantage points: the legal and political forms that underlie market relations; the transformation of the labor process; the role of gender and reproductive labor; and the history of separation from the means of subsistence. \nAdditional events in this series:\nJan 16\, 2014 – Warren Montag: “The Revocation of the Right to Subsistence: On the Legal and Political Origins of the Market”\nMar 6\, 2014 – Michael Perelman: “Primitive Accumulation: From Adam Smith to Angela Merkel” \nPresented by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster.
