SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: A Chinese Ghost Story
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. \nA Chinese Ghost Story (1987\, dir. Siu-Tung Ching) is a remarkable high point of 80s Hong Kong cinema. \nBoth an adaptation of a story by Pu Songling written during the Qing Dynasty and a remake of a Shaw Brothers film entitled The Enchanted Shadow (1960)\, A Chinese Ghost Story is feverish mix of romance\, comedy\, and Evil Dead-style supernatural horror. After he fails to collect a debt owed to him\, a young scholarly tax collector (Leslie Cheung) is forced to spend the night in an abandoned temple where he meets and falls in love with a beautiful young woman (Joey Wong)\, whom he subsequently realizes is a ghost enslaved to a Tree Demon (Siu-Ming Lau). With a Taoist swordsman (Ma Wu) at his side\, he sets out to free his beloved spirit from eternal servitude\, even if he has to follow the Tree Demon into the underworld to do so. The inspiration for two sequels\, an animated film version\, a television series\, and a remake in 2011\, A Chinese Ghost Story is a high point of Hong Kong cinema during what was arguably its most fertile creative period. Not to be missed! \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

SUMMARY:A Conversation & Book Party for Neda Atanasoski with Lisa Rofel & Shelley Stamp
DESCRIPTION:When is a war not a war? When it is undertaken in the name of democracy\, against the forces of racism\, sexism\, and religious and political persecution? This is the new world of warfare that Neda Atanasoski observes in Humanitarian Violence\, different in name from the old imperialism but not so different in kind. In particular\, she considers U.S. militarism—humanitarian militarism—during the Vietnam War\, the Soviet-Afghan War\, and the 1990s wars of secession in the former Yugoslavia. \nWhat this book brings to light—through novels\, travel narratives\, photojournalism\, films\, news media\, and political rhetoric—is in fact a system of postsocialist imperialism based on humanitarian ethics. Humanitarian Violence identifies an emerging discourse of race that focuses on ideological and cultural differences and makes postsocialist and Islamic nations the potential targets of U.S. disciplining violence.\n  \nThe Introduction and Chapter 4 will be available to read prior to the talk at:\nhttp://feministstudies.ucsc.edu/news-events/news/neda-book-2014.html \nPlease join us for a small reception in the Feminist Studies library following the reading.\n  \nNeda Atanasoski is an Associate Proressor in the Feminist Studies Department at UCSC. Her research and teaching interests are in the areas of U.S and Eastern European media and cultural studies\, with a focus on the politics of religion and sexuality\, postsocialism\, human rights and humanitarianism\, and war and nationalism. Professor Atanasoski’s current research project\, in collaboration with Kalindi Vora (UCSD)\, takes up the relationship between notions of the “network” and “revolution” in the postsocialist era as they assess the ethical frames and moral imperatives undergirding current-day modes of waging war\, biomedical modes of extending life\, and understanding the politics of dissent and consent that both use and critique the “revolutionary” technologies associated such social and political shifts of our postsocialist era.\n  \nConversation and book reading presented by the Feminist Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Nicholas D. Cahill: "The City of Sardis"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the President’s Chair in Ancient Studies present a lecture in an ongoing series on “Archaeology and the Ancient World” \nThis lecture will present the results of current research at Sardis in western Turkey\, the capital city of the Lydians and of their last king\, Croesus. Recent excavation has dramatically changed our ideas about the Lydian city\, with the discovery of the monumental city wall\, terraces that regularized and organized the rugged natural topography\, very probably used as a palatial quarter; houses burned by the Persian sack of the city in 547 BC. It will consider the later history of the city\, including the temple of Artemis\, the Hellenistic theater\, and a temple of the Roman imperial cult. \nNicholas D. Cahill earned his B.A. at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in 1981. After that\, Cahill went on to the University of California-Berkeley to earn both his M.A. in 1984 and his Ph.D. in 1991 in Ancient History and Archaeology. Cahill specializes in Greek and Anatolian archaeology\, especially urbanism and housing. He has done field work in Turkey\, England and Israel. Professor Cahill has been honored with the National Endowment for the Humanities / American Research Institute in Turkey award for sabbatical year research (2005-2006); the title of UW Humanities Institute Fellow (2000-2001); and the American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship (1995-1996.) Nicholas is currently teaching at the University of Wisconsin (Madison) where he has been employed since 1993. \nTalk begins at 5:00 pm\, refreshments served at 4:30 pm\, with a reception following lecture.

SUMMARY:Mark A. Raider: "The Changing Image of the Israeli Hero in American Culture"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies presents: Mark A. Raider \nThis talk surveys the long arc of the Zionist and Israeli hero as perceived in the American setting. Taking a page from scholars of semiotics and iconography\, it pays close attention to a variety of texts\, visual images\, and cultural artifacts drawn from Zionist propaganda and recruitment literature\, photographs and films\, poetry\, novels\, and memoirs\, art\, music\, and dance\, textbooks\, children’s literature and memoirs\, etc. By examining how the trope of the Zionist and Israeli hero changed over time\, I seek to enhance our understanding of the strong bond between the Jews of America and Israel as well as help to explain the ideational linkages that inform the contemporary U.S.-Israel relationship.\nMark A. Raider is Professor of Modern Jewish History in the Department of History at the University of Cincinnati and a Research Associate in the University’s Center for Studies in Jewish Education and Culture. He is also Visiting Professor of American Jewish History at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. \nDr. Raider’s scholarly articles have appeared in The American Jewish Archives Journal\, American Jewish History\, Jewish Social Studies\, The Journal of Israeli History\, and elsewhere. In 2010 he was awarded the American Jewish Historical Society’s Leo Wasserman prize for the best article published in American Jewish History (“The Aristocrat and the Democrat: Louis Marshall\, Stephen S. Wise and the Challenge of American Jewish Leadership”). \nHis books include The Emergence of American Zionism (1998); Abba Hillel Silver and American Zionism\, with Jonathan D. Sarna and Ronald W. Zweig (1997); The Plough Woman: Records of the Pioneer Women of Palestine–A Critical Edition\, with Miriam B. Raider-Roth (2002); American Jewish Women and the Zionist Enterprise\, with Shulamit Reinharz (2005); and Nahum Goldmann: Statesman Without a State (2009). He also wrote a book-length history of the American Jewish experience for the new edition of the Encyclopaedia Judaica (vol. 20\, 2006). \nHe most recently completed an edited and annotated anthology titled Free Associations: Selected Writings of Hayim Greenberg–A Critical Edition\, which is under advance contract with the University of Alabama Press. An excerpt from this volume appeared in the summer 2013 issue of The Jewish Review of Books. He is now working on a full-scale biography of Rabbi Stephen S. Wise\, one of the twentieth century’s most important and controversial American Jewish and Zionist leaders. \nDr. Raider teaches courses on U.S. history\, the American Jewish experience\, modern Jewish history\, and Zionism and Israel. He is married to Dr. Miriam B. Raider-Roth and they have three children–Jonah\, Emma\, and Talia.
