SUMMARY:Brian Catlos: "Islamic Spain and the Culture of the West: From al-Andalus to Bob Dylan and Bill Gates"
DESCRIPTION:What do Bob Dylan and Bill Gates owe to medieval Islam? More than you might think. From the computing to rock and roll much of what we consider emblematic of Western Civilization was in fact adapted from the world of Islam in the Middle Ages. The particular historical circumstances of Muslim Spain made this the chief venue for this process. Understanding how this came about deepens our understanding of the world of Islam and complicates our notions of what we consider “Western culture.” \nBrian Catlos is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Research Associate in Humanities at UCSC\, and co-director of the UC Mediterranean Studies Multi-Campus Research Project. His The Victors and the Vanquished: Christians and Muslims of Catalonia and Aragon\, 1050–1300 (Cambridge) won two major prizes; two books: The Muslims of Medieval Latin Christendom\, 1050–1614 (Cambridge) and Infidel Kings and Unholy Warriors: Power\, Faith and Politics in the Age of Crusade and Jihad (Farrar\, Straus & Giroux) will be published in 2014. He also writes travel books and featured in the PBS documentary Cities of Light. For more see www.brianacatlos.com. \n

SUMMARY:Michael Perelman: “Primitive Accumulation: From Adam Smith to Angela Merkel”
DESCRIPTION:Michael Perelman is a professor of economics at California State University\, Chico. He is an American economist and economic historian and writes extensively in criticism of conventional or mainstream economics. Perelman has written 19 books\, including Railroading Economics\, Manufacturing Discontent\, The Perverse Economy\, and The Invention of Capitalism. His latest project is\, The Invisible Handcuffs of Capitalism: How Market Control Undermines the Economy by Stunting Workers\, under contract with Stanford University Press. The basic theme is the way that capitalism is structured to be incapable of efficiently managing the labor process and that capitalism’s efforts to control the labor process create serious social and economic damage. \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”\nFeb 6\, 2014 – Kathi Weeks: “The Problem with Work: Feminism\, Marxism\, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries” \nPresented by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster.Staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.
