SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: Pulse
DESCRIPTION:Pulse (2001) \nWould you like to meet a ghost?\nAbout as bleak a depiction of apocalypse as you’re ever likely to come across\, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Pulse is a J-Horror film in which short episodic vignettes slowly disclose a world where ghosts outnumber people and people have been reduced to black ashy stains on the wall. In the midst of dealing with the emotional fallout of their friend’s suicide\, a group of young people start to notice that their computers are accessing the internet on their own and loading websites that ask them if they would like to meet a ghost. As we cycle through a shifting set of characters faced with these phenomena\, it becomes clear that direct contact with the blurry spectral beings results in life-ending melancholy and forlornness\, and the only escape from this dire outcome seems to be isolating yourself in your barricaded house indefinitely. The bleak cinematography\, empty cityscapes\, and knife-like integration of cacophony and silence in the sound design make this an understated and creepily effective counterpoint to the more widely known Ringu (1998). A remarkably atmospheric expression of technological angst and the fear of being alone\, Pulse 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:Lora Bartlett: "Migrant Teachers: How American Schools Import Labor"
DESCRIPTION:Migrant Teachers investigates an overlooked trend in U.S. public schools today: the growing dependence on overseas trained teachers\, as federal mandates require K-12 schools to employ qualified teachers or risk funding cuts. A narrowly technocratic view of teachers as subject specialists has led districts to look abroad\, Lora Bartlett argues\, resulting in transient teaching professionals with little opportunity to connect meaningfully with students. \nHighly recruited by inner-city school districts that struggle to retain educators\, approximately 90\,000 teachers from the Philippines\, India and other countries came to the United States between 2002 and 2008. From administrators’ perspective\, these instructors are excellent employees—well educated and able to teach shortage subjects like math\, science and special education. Because they depend on the school system for their visas\, they are cooperative with authority. But all of this comes at a price. As Bartlett shows\, American schools are failing to reap the possible benefits of the global labor market. Framing teachers as stopgap\, low status workers\, schools may cultivate a high turnover\, low investment workforce that undermines the conditions needed for good teaching and learning. Bartlett calls on schools to provide better support to both overseas-trained teachers and their American counterparts. \nLora Bartlett is an Associate Professor in the Education Department at UC Santa Cruz and author of Migrant Teachers: How American Schools Import Labor (Harvard Press). An interview with Lora appeared in Education Week last month.

SUMMARY:Yiqun Zhou: “Helen and the Chinese Femmes Fatales”
DESCRIPTION:Helen\, the Spartan queen whose abduction by Paris the prince of Troy ignited the ten-year-long Trojan War\, may be regarded as the femme fatale par excellence. The prominence of Helen’s images in the Greek tradition is as notable as their complexity and ambiguity. Alongside commonplace condemnations of Helen as the cause of a devastating war\, there are also enduring efforts to exonerate\, to redeem\, and even to exalt her act. Ancient China had its own lore of femmes fatales. The fall of each of the three earliest Chinese dynasties is blamed on a woman\, the evil consort of the last monarch. The judgment passed on the three women in the sources is invariably negative\, and their stories are routinely invoked as cautionary lessons for later rulers and noble houses about the potential dangers of female beauty. Whereas the indeterminacy of Helen’s images perpetuated over time and became ever more elusive with the proliferation of representations\, the portrayals of the three classical Chinese femmes fatales conformed to one broad pattern that was only clarified and reinforced with the multiplication of texts. In this talk\, I shall illustrate the contrast just laid out and attempt to explain how it came into being\, thereby illuminating some important differences between the conceptions of beauty and the contexts and functions of literary and historical writings in the two ancient societies. \nYiqun Zhou is Associate Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures (and\, by courtesy\, of Classics) at Stanford University. Her research interests include comparative studies of China and Greece as well as Chinese and comparative women’s history\, early Chinese literature and history\, and Chinese and English fiction (1600-1900). Her recent publications include Festivals\, Feasts\, and Gender Relations in Ancient China and Greece (New York: Cambridge University Press\, 2010) and “Spatial Metaphors and Women’s Religious Activities in Ancient China and Greece\,” in Shubha Pathak\, ed. Figuring Religions: Comparing Ideas\, Images\, and Activities (Albany: SUNY Press\, 2013). \nRefreshments at 4:30pm with reception to follow lecture.\nFree parking for lecture in the lower Cowell-Stevenson parking lot.\n

SUMMARY:Sex and the Archive
DESCRIPTION:Workshop on Sex and the Archive\nMay 20-21\, 2014 • UC Santa Cruz\nOpen to graduate students at UC Berkeley\, UC Davis\, and UC Santa Cruz\nApplication deadline: Wednesday April 23\, 2014\nThis workshop is part of a UCHRI Humanities Studio on Regulating Sex/Religion\, directed by Saba Mahmood (UC Berkeley) and Mayanthi Fernando (UC Santa Cruz)\, that examines how sex and religion are mobilized together in the management of minoritized communities in Europe\, the Middle East\, and South Asia. Rather than take for granted the secular narrative of sexual and religious life as private\, we analyze how secular power entails the twinned regulation of religion and sexuality\, and how the public/private boundary that ostensibly underpins secularity and guarantees both religious freedom and sexual freedom hinges on the management by the secular state of religious and sexual communities. \nA major focus of the Studio\, and of this workshop in particular\, concerns how subjects are produced as members of religious and/or sexual “communities” – Copts and Muslims in Egypt\, Maronites\, Shi‘a\, and Sunni “sects” in Lebanon\, Devadasis in India\, Muslim “natives” in French Algeria – through various technologies of colonial rule\, such as the census and personal status legal codes. The Studio thus excavates the colonial archive\, inquiring into the conditions of production of religious/sexual difference in Egypt\, Lebanon\, India\, Britain\, France\, and Algeria in order better understand the relationship between past and present legal\, political\, and discursive arrangements of religious and/as sexual difference. \nThe workshop includes one day of graduate seminars on Tuesday\, May 20th led by faculty participants on subjects related to their current research and within the broad rubric of sex and the archive. Graduate students will be expected to have read the relevant texts assigned for each seminar by the faculty leaders and to join in discussion alongside faculty participants. Seminar leaders and faculty participants include: Anjali Arondekar (UC Santa Cruz)\, Michael Allan (University of Oregon)\, Gina Dent (UC Santa Cruz)\, Mayanthi Fernando (UC Santa Cruz)\, Suad Joseph (UC Davis)\, Saba Mahmood (UC Berkeley)\, Marc Matera (UC Santa Cruz)\, Maya Mikdashi (NYU/Jadaliyya)\, and Judith Surkis (Rutgers University). \nThe graduate seminars are open to students at UC Santa Cruz\, UC Berkeley\, and UC Davis. Student participants from UC Berkeley and UC Davis will have a hotel room provided for them for the nights of Monday May 19th and Tuesday May 20th. The graduate seminars begin at 9am on Tuesday May 20th. On Wednesday May 21\, faculty participants will meet in a closed-door session to discuss work-in-progress. \nPreliminary Schedule\nTuesday May 20th – Graduate Seminars 9AM-5PM \n9:00AM Opening Remarks and Introductions\n9:30-11:00 Seminar 1 (Faculty leader: Saba Mahmood; topic TBA)\n11:15-12:45 Seminar 2 (Faculty leaders: Anjali Arondekar & Judith Surkis; topic TBA)\n12:45-1:45 Lunch\n2:00-3:30 Seminar 3 (Faculty leaders: Mayanthi Fernando & Marc Matera; topic TBA)\n3:45-5:00PM General discussion \n5:15-6:45PM Reception \nWednesday May 21st – Closed Workshops 9AM-5PM \nHow to apply\nGraduate students wishing to participate should send a CV and a brief statement (maximum 1 page) regarding their current or prospective dissertation project and/or research interests to ihr@ucsc.edu by Wednesday April 23\, 2014.

SUMMARY:Prasenjit Duara: "Circulatory and Competitive Histories: Temporal Foundations for Cosmopolitanism
DESCRIPTION:Stories – narratives of the past – are necessary in all collectivities that seek to constitute and maintain themselves.  In modern times\, competitive states have sought to mobilize all resources and bio-power in their territory by adopting singular\, linear histories of the state\, nation and civilization.  But\, ironically\, just as these singular stories were becoming dominant\, the world was globalizing more actively than ever.  The stories themselves have come to be shaped by global forces. \nWhile the historical enterprise of collective formation – in which distinctive stories are developed within the framework of single states – remains important for the building of local\, national or regional communities\, these enterprises can no longer deny the cosmopolitan circulations that condition them.  This is especially so now that planetary sustainability is at stake.  And indeed\, the most significant Eurasian historical developments have tended to be circulatory and shared.  The early modern era is a particularly fruitful period to consider\, because the distinction between the local and the universal was less pronounced; state territoriality and culture were not conflated.  Can we recapture those kinds of stories?  How might social and political theory look if our histories were not linear\, exclusive accounts of nations and civilizations\, but rather dispersed\, cross-referenced\, mutually shaping and shared histories? \nPrasenjit Duara is Raffles Professor of Humanities and Director of Asia Research Institute and of Research in Humanities and Social Sciences at the National University of Singapore\, where he has taught since 2008.  Prior to that\, he was professor and chairman of the History Department at the University of Chicago. Among his books are Rescuing History from the Nation (1995)\, Sovereignty and Authenticity: Manchukuo and the East Asian Modern (2003)\, and Culture\, Power and the State: Rural North China\, 1900-1942 (1988)\, which won the Fairbank Prize of the AHA and the Levenson Prize of the AAS. His most recent work is The Global and the Regional in China’s Nation-Formation (Routledge\, 2009). His work has been widely translated into Chinese\, Japanese and Korean. He will speak from forthcoming book The Crisis of Global Modernity: Asian Traditions and a Sustainable Future (Cambridge\, 2014). \nSponsored by the Department of History and the East Asian Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Ken Waltzer Seminar: A Holocaust Micro-History
DESCRIPTION:Professor Kenneth Waltzer  is currently director of the Jewish studies program at Michigan State University.  His interests cover American social and political history\, including urban\, labor\, and minority history\, immigration and social relations in the United States and elsewhere\, and modern Jewish history\, including the study of anti-Semitism and of the Holocaust. His major current project is a book on The Rescue of Children and Youths at Buchenwald. His research on the Buchenwald concentration camp has focused on the rescue of children and youths inside the camp and has included some notable findings. \nMoving Together\, Moving Alone: The Story of Boys on a Transport from Auschwitz to Buchenwald \nOn January 17\, 1945\, a large group of about ten thousand predominantly Jewish prisoners were evacuated from Auschwitz-Buna (Monowitz) and Birkenau and taken on a death march to the west. A few days later\, approximately four thousand survivors of this ordeal reached Gleiwitz\, a rail head and the site of several Nazi satellite camps\, where the Nazis loaded them onto open coal cars and transported them to Buchenwald\, a huge concentration camp near Weimar in Thuringia. The weather was so cold that some prisoners sat on frozen dead bodies as benches. According to Nazi records\, the transport arrived on January 26\, 1945\, with 3\,784 prisoners. Of this number\, 304 youths\, 16 years old or under\, comprised about 8% of the human cargo. One of them\, Lazar (Eliezer) Wiesel\, later wrote about the ordeal in a remarkable memoir\, Night\, which is now known all over the world. \nThese were mostly Slovak-\, Hungarian-\, and Rumanian-Jewish boys who had survived terrible family losses on entering Birkenau in late May 1944 and were in Buna under atrocious conditions. Then\, eight months later they were in Buchenwald\, where many were relocated to the children’s barrack\, Kinderblock 66. In this group\, there were surprisingly numerous social clusters – boys with their fathers like Elie Wiesel\, boys with other boys\, especially brothers or cousins\, and boys with relatives or friends often from the same towns. Many were acting out deep commitments\, they say in their testimonies\, to stay together and help one another under all pressures. But others were alone. \nA large literature stresses that life in the Nazi camps approximated a war of all against all: social relations among prisoners were egoistic and pathogenic. This seminar seeks to test this hypothesis. Using the techniques of micro-history\, it asks in what ways these youths at Buna and Buchenwald were moving together and also moving alone during their ordeal. It shows how by focusing in a detailed way on a distinctive group within prisoner society\, we can study the remarkable and diverse forms of solidarity that continued to co-exist in prisoner society alongside separateness and aloneness among these tormented young people. In this case\, we can also discover the fates of nearly all boys on the transport – those like Wiesel who were in block 66\, those who were not\, and those who were sent out of Buchenwald to the killing satellites. \nKen Waltzer will also be at the film screening of Kinderblock 66: Return to Buchenwald shown at UCSC on May 22 @ 6pm in College 8\, Room 240. \nThese events are free and open to the public. \nSponsored by: UCSC Center for Jewish Studies and Neufeld-Levin Endowed Chair in Holocaust Studies.

SUMMARY:Ken Waltzer and Film Screening: Kinderblock 66
DESCRIPTION:Kinderblock 66: Return to Buchenwald. Kinderblock 66 is the story of four men who\, as young boys\, were imprisoned by the Nazis in the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp and who\, sixty-five years later\, return to commemorate the sixty-fifth anniversary of their liberation. The film tells the story of the effort undertaken by the camp’s Communist-led underground to protect ad save Jewish children who were arriving in Buchenwald toward the end of the Holocaust. Kinderblock 66 also tells the story of Antonin Kalina\, the head of the block who was personally responsible for saving 904 boys in Buchenwald. \nThe Film Screening of Kinderblock 66 will be shown at UCSC on May 22 @ 6pm in College 8\, Room 240. \nProfessor Kenneth Waltzer is currently director of the Jewish studies program at Michigan State University.  His interests cover American social and political history\, including urban\, labor\, and minority history\, immigration and social relations in the United States and elsewhere\, and modern Jewish history\, including the study of anti-Semitism and of the Holocaust.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nIn celebration of Shakespeare’s 450th birthday\, Working w/ Shakespeare fosters a dialogue between three professions that are especially dedicated to understanding his work: literary critics\, theater designers\, and professional actors. What makes literary criticism\, design\, and performance different as forms of interpretation? How might their distinctive practical techniques and theoretical concerns enrich and transform each other? These questions are the framework for the conference’s three workshops\, each of which will focus on The Winter’s Tale. \n[/vc_column_text] [vc_column width=”1/3″ el_position=”first”] [rb_section_title title=”Workshop I: Acting with Shakespeare” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n \nMike Ryan is an actor and the Co-Artistic Director of Santa Cruz Shakespeare. Acting with Shakespeare is an interactive workshop that explores how actors move from the page to the stage; how verse\, rhetoric and complex imagery are made more intelligible to the ear; and how to pull useful clues from Shakespeare’s text that translate the spoken word into action. As one of Shakespeare’s final works\, The Winter’s Tale combines bold experimentation with verse form with the theatrical cunning of a producer at the peak of his game. \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column] [vc_column width=”1/3″] [rb_section_title title=”Workshop II: Designing with Shakespeare” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n \nKate Edmunds\, Professor of Theater Arts at UC Santa Cruz\, has designed scenery for over thirty years\, from New York to California\, to great acclaim. In Designing with Shakespeare\, participants will move from the written to the spoken word\, and then from words to the visual images that reflect their own thoughts\, developing designs for The Winter’s Tale that communicate their own insights about the play. Through design\, we will try to “see what we mean” when we work with Shakespeare. \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column] [vc_column width=”1/3″ el_position=”last”] [rb_section_title title=”Workshop III: Writing with Shakespeare” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n \nSean Keilen teaches Shakespeare in the Literature Department at UC Santa Cruz. Writing with Shakespeare takes The Winter’s Tale as the starting point for a dialogue about literary criticism’s long-standing investment in the hermeneutics of suspicion and the prospect of grounding interpretation\, instead\, in aesthetic experience. Suppose that we approach Shakespeare’s play not only as an object for analysis but also as a model for thinking and writing about art. What\, then\, could our criticism become? \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column] [rb_blank_divider height=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column width=”1/2″ el_position=”first”] [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”] \nFriday\, May 23\nLocation: Digital Arts Research Center\, Room 108 (Map – Park in lot #126) \n9:00-9:30 AM – Welcome and Introductions \n9:30 AM -12:00 PM – Workshop I: Acting with Shakespeare \n12:00-1:00 PM – Lunch @ DARC 3rd floor balcony \nLocation: Theater Arts\, Second Stage (Map – Park in lot #126) \n1:00-3:30 PM – Workshop II: Designing with Shakespeare \nSaturday\, May 24\nLocation: Humanities Building 1\, Room 210 (Map – Park in lot #109) \n9:30 AM – 12:00 PM – Workshop III: Writing with Shakespeare \n12:00-12:30 PM – Closing Lunch Reception \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column] [vc_column width=”1/2″ el_position=”last”] [rb_section_title title=”Sponsors” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nWorking w/ Shakespeare: The Winter’s Tale is presented by Shakespeare’s Disciplines\, a research cluster of the Institute for Humanities Research\, with generous support from the Dean of Arts\, the Seigfried B. and Elisabeth M.
