SUMMARY:Lisa Lowe: "Colonial Difference and the Neoliberal Present"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture casts the history of liberal modernity as a complex\, braided project\, which includes at once the universal promises of rights\, emancipation\, wage labor and free trade\, as well as the global divisions and colonial asymmetries upon which those promises depend\, and according to which such liberties are reserved for some and denied to others. A history of the present\, which defamiliarizes given narratives of the present social formation\, may reveal the subsumption of colonial difference in the history of modern progress\, and query the assumptions regarding the continuity of the neoliberal present as either the apotheosis or betrayal of the liberal project. \nLisa Lowe is a scholar in the fields of comparative literature\, and the cultural politics of race\, colonialism\, and diaspora at Tufts University. Before joining Tufts\, she taught in the Literature Department at UC San Diego for over two decades. She is the recipient of awards and fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations\, the UC Humanities Research Institute\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, the School of Advanced Study-University of London\, and the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. Lowe is the author of Critical Terrains: French and British Orientalisms (Cornell UP)\, Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics (Duke UP)\, and coauthor of The Politics of Culture in the Shadow of Capital (Duke UP). Her most recent project\, The Intimacies of Four Continents\, a study of the global conditions for liberal economy\, knowledge\, culture\, and politics\, is forthcoming from Duke UP in 2015. Lowe received her Ph.D. in Literature from UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:"Lasting and Passing": The Poetics of Remainders with Margaret Ronda
DESCRIPTION:Poetry & Politics Presents: Margaret Ronda\, featuring Whitney DeVos and Keegan Cook Finberg \nThis talk offers an extended reading of the work of rural Midwestern modernist poet Lorine Niedecker\, whose poetry attends to various forms and speeds of what she calls “human material obsolescing.” The imaginative tarrying with these “outdated remains” (in Benjamin’s phrase) offers an example of a larger poetic archive that reflects on\, and reflects\, poetry’s diminishing cultural status in the twentieth century. The talk draws on Benjamin and Adorno’s theory of natural history (Naturgeschichte)\, which understands transience and susceptibility to ruin as the shared characteristic of “natural being” and “historical being.” Bringing a materialist philosophy of history to bear on this poetic archive throws into relief the ecological character of obsolescence itself\, illuminating a different version of ecologically-oriented literature than the American environmentalist tradition\, with its emphasis on wild nature\, has privileged. In turn\, this poetics of remainders—the material remnants of the production and commodification of nature\, now displaced\, unproductive\, and uncanny—renders visible the dispossessions and ecological violence on which capital accumulation depends. \nMargaret Ronda specializes in American poetry of the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries. Particular areas of interest include Marxist criticism\, aesthetic and genre theory\, ecological literary modes\, and avant-garde poetics. She is currently writing a book entitled Remainders: Poetry at Nature’s End\,  which examines how modern poetry serves as a distinctive site for charting uneven development and for archiving obsolescent forms of experience. Her first book of poetry\, Personification\, won the 2009 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize. \nWe invite you to join us at the Felix Kulpa Gallery in downtown Santa Cruz for a reading with Margaret Ronda and local poets and UCSC graduate students Keegan Cook Finberg and Whitney DeVos. The reading will begin at 6 p.m.\, with an opening reception at 5:30 p.m. \nMore information about these events and others can be found at www.ucscpoetrypolitics.com

SUMMARY:Jane Grimshaw: "The use of force in clausal complementation"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present Jane Grimshaw of Rutgers University speaking on\nThe use of force in clausal complementation. \nAbstract:\nThe SAY-schema verbs (Grimshaw in press) combine with a wide range of clauses in complex complementation structures\, including quoted and non-quoted clauses in post-verbal complement position\, and quoted and non-quoted clauses hosting parentheticals.\nSome SAY-schema verbs encode the Illocutionary Force of the speech acts that they report. Others do not. Some of the complementation structures themselves encode Force\, while others do not.\nThe patterns of verb-clause combination\, or “selection” effects\, result from the interplay between the Force encoded in the verb’s meaning and the Force of the clause. Variation among predicates is highly restricted\, and the evidence needed to learn which complements a verb combines with is accessible in simple discourses.\n  \n\n  \n2014 – 2015 Speakers \nFALL 2014\nOctober 17th\nJane Grimshaw\, Rutgers \nDecember 12th\nAdam Albright\, MIT \nWINTER 2015\nJanuary 16th\nClaire Halpert\, University of Minnesota \nJanuary 23rd\nValentine Hacquard\, Maryland \nFebruary 6th\nRachel Walker\, USC \nmid-March: date TBA\nLASC: Linguistics at Santa Cruz Conference \nSPRING 2015\nApril 10th\nDaniel Lassiter\, Stanford \nApril 17th\nKeith Johnson\, UC Berkeley \nMay 1st\nGrant Goodall\, UC San Diego \nMay/June: date TBA\nLURC: Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference

SUMMARY:1984 -- Beyond the Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago saw the culmination of increasing social conflict in Punjab\, a Sikh-majority state in India. In 1984\, the government of India launched a military operation on the Sikhs’ central religious site\, aimed at militants but also ensnaring innocent pilgrims. Later that year\, Sikh bodyguards assassinated India’s Prime Minister in retribution. This was followed by pogroms against Sikhs all over India\, and a decade of violence and repression in Punjab. The perpetrators of state violence have not been brought to justice\, and the events of 1984 and after continue to cast a shadow on the people of the region. Prof. Rahuldeep Singh Gill of California Lutheran University (CLU) will speak about this history\, and how to move forward positively\, but without forgetting the past\, especially in the context of the Sikh diaspora in the US. Prof. Gill is Director of the Center for Equality and Justice at CLU.\nThe talk will be followed by an interactive discussion\, moderated by Prof. Nirvikar Singh\, Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UCSC. Prof. Singh was visiting India in 1984 and experienced some of the events described above. All students\, faculty and community members are invited. Lunch will be provided\, and RSVPs are requested by October 15 at 1 pm. Please RSVP by email to Evin Guy\, Institute for Humanities Research\, ecguy@ucsc.edu. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCSC Sikh Student Association and the Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies. \n[rev_slider sikhbeyondtrauma]
