SUMMARY:Steve Wright: "The Political: Some Experiences from the Italian Operaismo of the 1960s and 1970s"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will critically examine debates around ‘the political’ amongst the Italian workerists. While championing new understandings of class composition that challenged the traditional leninist separation of economic and political struggles\, the workerists of the 1960s and 1970s nonetheless struggled to formulate an agreed approach to theorising and practicing ‘the political’. The talk will seek to explore the ways in which this tension played itself out\, from early debates concerning the traditional institutions of the workers movement\, to efforts to develop organizational projects outside the existing parties and unions. Along the way\, attention will also be paid to the contributions of those (such as the editors of Collegamenti and Le operaie della casa) who\, despite the incisiveness of many of their contributions\, found themselves situated largely on the margins of the workerists’ debates as these unfolded at the time. \nSteve Wright teaches in the Faculty of Information Technology\, Monash University\, and is the author of Storming Heaven: Class Composition and Struggle in Italian Autonomist Marxism (Pluto Press\, 2002). His current research is focussed on the creation and use of documents amongst the Italian workerists of the 1960s and 1970s. \n\n  \nPRESENTATION SLIDES:\n“The Political:

SUMMARY:Rachel Walker: "Partially Overlapping Harmonies: Implications for Agreement by Correspondence"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Correspondence relations among segments in an output\, known as surface correspondence\, provide a means for enforcing (dis)agreement among segments (Hansson 2001\, Rose & Walker 2004\, Bennett 2013). In this talk\, I examine a problematic prediction of proposals about the formal properties of surface correspondence for harmony patterns that are partially overlapping in a language. I discuss the types of refinements necessary for a surface correspondence account\, and consider implications for the theoretical approach in general. \nMore specifically\, this talk identifies a novel and problematic typological prediction of transitive surface correspondence relations with chain-­‐adjacent evaluation of identity\, dubbed the Closest Correspondent Trigger Prediction. The problem is exemplified by the interaction of two overlapping vowel harmonies in the dialect of Pasiego Montañes\, where a target vowel agrees with different trigger segments for different features. A revised feature-­‐restricted evaluation of identity constraints that operate over surface correspondents is proposed\, where evaluation is restricted to the subset of correspondents that share a given set of features. This move essentially merges the previous division of labor in surface correspondence theory between constraints that promote interactions among similar segments and those that enforce identity between such segments. The result is a theory where surface identity constraints are the prime locus of pattern-­‐shaping and there is a much reduced role for constraints that drive surface correspondence. Future directions on the status of constraints that drive surface correspondence and the treatment of locality are considered.\n  \n\n  \nAbout eight times each year the department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world.\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:Fighting for the Emperor:  Nisei Soldiers in the Imperial Armed Forces
DESCRIPTION:While more than 110\,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans in the United States endured mass incarceration during WWII\, the war also altered the lives of thousands of Japanese Americans who were stranded in Japan. For many Nisei strandees in Japan\, the war blurred the boundaries of their citizenship\, as they found themselves in situations where they had little room to negotiate their national allegiance. As the battles in the Pacific theater dragged on\, the Japanese government drafted a significant number of Nisei men in Japan to serve in the military and take arms against the United States. \nThe Nisei soldiers and sailors in the Japanese armed forces who survived the war learned that they had been stripped of their U.S. citizenship as a result of their service to the Japanese emperor. Although these veterans of the Japanese military could recover their U.S. citizenship after the war\, the onus was on them to convince the U.S. government that they had been forced to serve the Japanese emperor. \nDr. Michael Jin of Texas A&M University will be at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj) to discuss his research in a presentation entitled “The War and Its Aftermath: Nisei Draftees in the Imperial Armed Forces.” His presentation will be followed by a special discussion featuring two Japanese Americans who found themselves serving in the Japanese military during WWII: Peter Sano and Jimmie Matsuda.\n  \nMICHAEL JIN is an assistant professor of history at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. His areas of specialty include migration and diaspora studies\, critical race and ethnic studies\, and Asian American and Pacific Islander history. He is currently working on a manuscript that examines the experiences of U.S.-born Japanese American migrants in Japan and the Japanese colonial world in Asia before and during WWII. \nPETER SANO grew up in a large farming family in Brawley\, California. At the age of 15\, although he knew no Japanese\, he was sent to Japan to become the adopted son of a wealthy uncle and aunt who were childless. In 1945\, he was drafted into the Japanese Army and was sent to Korea\, then Manchuria\, close to the Soviet border. After his unit surrendered to the Russians\, he was sent to a Siberian POW camp for nearly three years. He returned to the United States in 1952 and later wrote a book about his experiences entitled 1\,000 Days in Siberia. \nJIMMIE MATSUDA was born in 1927 in Hood River\, Oregon. At the age of 11\, while visiting Japan\, he got sick\, causing his family to miss the ship that was to carry them back to the United States. So they decided to stay in Japan. Bu t in 1943\, after graduating from high school\, Matsuda volunteered for the Japanese Navy and became a kamikaze pilot. His unit was ordered to Okinawa in 1945\, but because of his knowledge of English\, he was ordered to stay behind to translate U.S. military code. He returned to California in the early 1950s.\n  \nCost: Free with admission to the museum (non-members\, $5; students and seniors over age 65\, $3; JAMsj members and children under 12\, free). \nRSVP: Contact PublicPrograms@jamsj.org or call (408) 294-3138 to reserve a spot.
