SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: Martyrs
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to create a victim. \nOne of the more insightful recent examples of French extreme cinema and “torture porn\,” Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs is a singularly divisive horror film experience. After police officers rescue her following over a year of repeated exposure to torture and torment\, Lucie build up her strength in an orphanage and befriends Anna\, another victim of abuse. Fifteen years later Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï) and Anna (Morjana Alaoui) break into the house of a seemingly middle-of-the-road bourgeois family whom Lucie proceeds to slaughter with gory abandon because she believes them to be the perpetrators of her yearlong suffering and abuse as a child. These gruesome acts give way to some obvious problems (primarily having to do with how to dispose of the bodies) and the unexpected discovery of a hidden staircase that leads to the more affecting and startling atrocity exhibitions (and almost spiritual ordeals of survival) in the film’s second half. Though it is certainly one of the most graphic films we’ll be showing this quarter\, Martyrs is not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (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.

SUMMARY:"Legacies of the Sent-down Youth Movement in Contemporary China" Conference
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column width=”2/3″ el_position=”first”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nThis conference explores the contemporary legacies of the sent-down youth movement that accompanied the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-76)\, during which approximately 15 million urban youth were sent to live in rural villages and state farms for up to ten years. This is a timely moment for such a workshop\, as an increasing number of scholars in China are engaged in research on this subject\, a result of the cottage industry of individual memoirs\, collections of letters\, diaries\, and archival materials that have been published. \nAlthough all of the conference participants have conducted research on historical aspects of the movement\, they share a concern with the legacies of that movement for contemporary China: the large percentage of the current political leadership (including President Xi Jinping) that were sent-down youth; the implications of economic relationships established in the context of the sent-down youth movement for contemporary economic development; and social issues facing the post-sent-down youth generation. Participants from China and the U.S. include historians\, sociologists\, and political scientists. \n[/vc_column_text] [rb_blank_divider height=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [rb_section_title title=”Schedule” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n9:00-9:15 AM – Opening Remarks\nEmily Honig\, Department of History\, UC Santa Cruz \n9:15 AM – 12:15 PM – Panel One\nChair: Benjamin Read\, Department of Politics\, UCSC \nSun Peidong (Department of History\, Fudan University)\n“Who will marry my daughter?

SUMMARY:Michela Ippolito: "Negative Conditionals"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk I will look again at one kind of counterfactual conditionals\, which I will call Negative Conditionals (NCs)\, from a cross-linguistic perspective. NCs have properties that set them aside from standard would conditionals: (i) they contain a negative element in the antecedent clause or in the complementizer domain; (ii) they are obligatorily counterfactual; (iii) the negation does not anti license PPIs; (iv) the negation does not license NPIs. Drawing on work by Schwarz (2006) and Schwarz and Bhatt (2006)\, I will call the negation that occurs in NCs light negation (LN) and I will argue that (a) LN is a strengthening operator modifying the modal operator and forcing an “iff” interpretation; (b) for interpretability reasons\, LN must move close to the modal and it can do that overtly (as in Chinese) or covertly (as in German and English); (c) LN is factive. This analysis will allow us to explain the facts above as well as other interesting properties of NCs such as their incompatibility with the pro form then in the consequent\, the impossibility of a “backtracking” NC and the rhetorical flavor of questions formed with NCs.\n  \nMichela Ippolito is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. \nLecture sponsored by the Santa Cruz Linguistics and Philosophy Group. Please stay tuned for more information.
