SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: The House of the Devil
DESCRIPTION:During the 1980s\, over 70% of American adults believed in the existence of abusive satanic cults.\nA typically low key and intelligent horror film from Ti West\, perhaps the most critically lauded of America’s rising generation of horror movie auteurs\, The House of the Devil is a moody and evocative spin on the satanic cult sub-genre. In an attempt to raise money for a deposit on an apartment\, Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) agrees to babysit for the Ulmans (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov) on the night of a total lunar eclipse. After admitting that in fact they do not have a child but rather a grandmother who needs tending to\, the Ulmans insist that the old woman not be disturbed and that Samantha really ought to order a pizza for dinner on their dime. True to form for West\, what ought to scare you here might not be the Satanists but the pizza. 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:Carl Mark Deppe Lecture: Harry Berger Jr.: "Dying Angry: The Wrath of Socrates in Plato's Dialogue\, Phaedo"
DESCRIPTION:Plato wrote four dialogues dramatizing the last days and death of Socrates:  Euthyphro\, The Apology\, Crito\, and Phaedo.  “Dyng Angry” will focus on Socrates’s behavior and performance —and weirdness—in Phaedo. \nHarry Berger Jr. came to Cowell College and UCSC from Yale in 1965 when our campus opened. He was the first appointment in English Literature\, and he was largely responsible for hiring the original cadre of English literature faculty. Since that time he’s taught courses ranging from classics to modern poetry for Cowell College\, the Literature Department\, and History of Consciousness. He retired in 1994 but has taught a lot since then and in general keeps himself too busy to stay out of trouble. \nIn 2003 he received a Lifetime Award from the International Spenser Society.The proceedings of a 2006 conference in his honor were published with revisions and additions in a volume of essays: A Touch More Rare: Harry Berger\, Jr.\, and the Arts of Interpretation\, ed. David Miller and Nina Levine (New York: Fordham University Press\, 2009). He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2006\, and in 2010 he received the Constantine Panunzio Distinguished Emeriti Award from the University of California. \nBerger has published 13 books and over 100 essays on a wide variety of topics in classics\, art history\, Renaissance culture\, and modern poetry. Many of these deal with Plato\, Shakespeare\, Spenser\, Vermeer\, Rembrandt\, and theories of literature and art. Three new books are forthcoming from Fordham University Press: \nSimonides in Couch City:  Studies in Plato’s Republic and Protagoras\, 2014.\nHarrying: Skills of Offense in Shakespeare’s Henriad\, 2014.\nThe Perils of Uglytown: Studies in Structural Misanthropology from Plato to Rembrandt. 2014.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Hester: "Bodies as=of knowledge: The ethics and politics of biometrics in health care"
DESCRIPTION:What are the proposed uses of biometrics in health care and the ethics and politics of body data in the digital age? As security and surveillance become the order of the day\, biometric technologies have become a ubiquitous and naturalized part of most aspects of everyday life. Operating from the premise that “bodies don’t lie\,” biometrics promises increased safety\, security\, accuracy\, and reliability in identity recognition and verification. These promises are especially appealing in the health care industry where the verification of patient and provider identities is a necessary security feature for protecting patient data. Despite their promises\, however\, the fact that biometrics facilitates the coding\, analysis\, and judgment of embodied information in new\, more complex\, and more far-reaching ways than were previously possible in health care opens up a host of ethical and political issues for patients\, providers\, and populations. Long-standing virtues in medicine such as privacy\, confidentiality\, justice and beneficence are challenged as numerous and often unknown institutions and individuals beyond the clinic can and will have access to this embodied information for security\, surveillance\, and marketing purposes. \nRebecca J. Hester is assistant professor of social medicine in the Institute for the Medical Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She holds a Ph.D. in Politics with an emphasis in Latin American and Latino Studies from UCSC. Her research focuses on the politics of the body as they are manifested at and through the intersections of immigration\, health\, and security.  She is co-author\, with Ronnie Lipschutz\, of “We are the Borg!  Human Assimilation into Cellular Society\,” pp. 366-407\, in: M.G. Michael and Katina Michael (eds.)\, Uberveillance and the Social Implications of Microchip Implants: Emerging Technologies (Hershey\, Penna.: IGI Global\, 2014).\n  \nThese talks are co-sponsored by CGIRS\, College Eight\, the Politics Department\, the Institute for Humanities Research\, the Institute of the Arts & Sciences\, and the Science and Justice Research Center.  The BIOS  (Bodies Imag(in)ed to be Obstacles to Security) Research Cluster is a new project of the Center for Global\, International and Regional Studies\, focused on the surveillance\, management\, interrogation\, discipline and intervention  of human and other bodies in the digital age. If you are interested in joining the cluster\, please contact Ronnie Lipschutz at rlipsch@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Gloria Anzaldúa's Legacy: 10th Anniversary of Passing
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 10th anniversary of Gloria Anzaldúa’s passing. In honor of the legacy left by Gloria Anzaldúa\, The Chicano Latino Resource Center will be hosting a celebration of her life through a formal program with speakers\, an art exhibit from local artists\, an altar\, refreshments\, and an open mic. \nGloria Anzaldúa was a Chicana-tejana-lesbiana-feminist poet\, theorist\, and fiction writer from South Texas. In addition to authoring Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza\, she was the editor of the critical anthology Making Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras and co-editor of This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color\, winner of the Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award. \nShe passed away in 2004 and was honored around the world for shedding visionary light on the Chicana experience by receiving the National Association For Chicano Studies Award in 2005. Gloria was also posthumously awarded her doctoral degree in literature from the University of California Santa Cruz. A number of scholarships and book awards are awarded in her name every year. \nEl Centro is committed to continuing her vision of the New Mestiza Consciousness. The borderlands of higher education are real and thus making a program to remember and celebrate all of the gifts she left us is necessary and important. \nWe look forward to having you and celebrating together the legacy of Gloria Anzaldúa. \nFacebook Event Page: www.facebook.com/events/700386210007910/

SUMMARY:Mikkel Johansen: Material and Social Conditions for the Development of Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Mathematical knowledge has traditionally been taken to be absolutely objective\, i.e. completely independent of contingent facts about the agents who discover the results. Today\, this absolutistic view of mathematics has been challenged by a number of different theories. Most noticeably\, social constructivists such as David Bloor and Donald MacKenzie have stress the influence social factors have had on the development of mathematics\, and Bloor simply describes mathematics as a social institution. Other theorists such as Rafael Núñez and George Lakoff have claimed mathematics to be embodied and fundamentally shaped by sensory-motor experience and certain cognitive strategies. In my talk I will report from a qualitative study of the practice of working mathematicians. The study shows that the production of mathematical knowledge is clearly conditioned both by social factors and by our experience of and ability to actively use the material world. Thus\, the study confirms some of the basic ideas of the two approaches mentioned above. However\, the study also gives reason to questions the reductionism inherent in both the social constructivistic and the embodiment approach. Mathematics cannot be reduced either to the social or to sensory-motor experience. \nADVANCE READING: Whats in a diagram? \nMikkel Willum Johansen is an assistant professor at the faculty of science\, University of Copenhagen. He has a PhD in the philosophy of the mathematical sciences and has worked extensively with mathematical cognition and with the different version of naturalism in the philosophy of mathematics. In 2014 he published the book Invitation til matematikkens videnskabsteori (Eng: Invitation to the philosophy of the mathematical sciences). \nPlease click here for more information
