SUMMARY:Ching Kwan Lee: "Buying Stability in China: Markets\, Protests and Authoritarianism”
DESCRIPTION:This talk outlines China’s trajectory of commodification and the counter-movements by state and society in the past quarter century. Unpacking the class specific dynamics and experiences of precarization\, I discuss how the commodification of land\, labor\, housing and the environment has triggered collective struggles by farmers\, workers and the middle class. To maintain social stability\, the Chinese state has responded\, on the one hand\, with new social protection policies of uneven effectiveness\, and on the other\, a practice of “buying stability” which unwittingly commodifies state authority and citizen’s rights\, sowing seeds of precariousness in the regime’s authoritarian governance. \nChing Kwan Lee is Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Los Angeles. She obtained her PhD in Sociology at the University of California\, Berkeley and taught at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and University of Michigan before moving to UCLA. Her publications have focused on labor\, social activism\, political sociology and development in China and the Global South. \nLee is author of Against the Law: Labor Protests in China’s Rustbelt and Sunbelt (2007)\, and Gender and the South China Miracle: Two Worlds of Factory Women (1998). Her edited and co-edited books include From the Iron Rice Bowl to Informalization: Markets\, Workers and the State in a Changing China (2011); Reclaiming Chinese Society: New Social Activism (2009)\, Re-envisioning the Chinese Revolution: Politics and Poetics of Collective Memory in Reform China (2007) and Working in China: Ethnographies of Labor and Workplace Transformation (2007). \nShe is currently working on two book manuscripts. One is on forty years of state and society relation in China\, and the other on Chinese investment in Zambia. \n  \nEVENT PODCAST:\n \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Carmen Boullosa: “Texas: The Great Theft”
DESCRIPTION:Carmen Boullosa is one of Mexico’s leading novelists\, poets\, and playwrights\, whose works interweave speculative\, historical\, and psychological themes with a powerful feminist point of view and a sharp satirical wit. She has published fifteen novels\, among them El complot de los románticos (winner of the Premio de Novela Café Gijón in 2008)\, Las paredes hablan\, La virgen y el violin\, and perhaps most famously\, Llanto. Her works in English translation include They’re Cows\, We’re Pigs; Leaving Tabasco; and Cleopatra Dismounts\, all published by Grove Press\, and Jump of the Manta Ray\, with illustrations by Philip Hughes\, published by The Old Press. Her novels have also been translated into Italian\, Dutch\, German\, French\, Portuguese\, Chinese\, and Russian. A prominent essayist and journalist\, she writes a regular column for El Universal in Mexico City. She has taught at Georgetown\, Columbia\, and New York University\, as well as at universities in nearly a dozen other countries. She is currently Distinguished Lecturer at the City College of New York. \nIn her latest novel\, Texas: The Great Theft (Deep Vellum\, 2014)\, originally published as Tejas: La gran ladronería en la frontera norte (Editorial Alfaguera\, 2013)\, Carmen Boullosa challenges US versions of the romantic origins of Texas. Set on the eve of the US Civil War in the fictional twin border cities of Bruneville and Matasanchez\, the novel depicts relations among gringos\, German immigrants\, Mexican landowners and laborers\, escaped slaves\, Apaches\, and Comanches. In the words of the Dallas Morning News’ Roberto Ontiveros\, it “sardonically explodes and seductively reins itself back in with a panoptic prose that stares down hard into the absurd and uncomfortable prejudices that have historically split this region.” \nFor an advance PDF copy of the novel in Spanish and/or in English\, please contact Kirsten Silva Gruesz (ksgruesz@ucsc.edu).

SUMMARY:“Polly Want a Caesar? Talking Birds and Prophetic Birds in Early Imperial Rome”
DESCRIPTION:In Republican Rome\, birds had served as the messengers of the gods\, communicating in ways that only a few religious specialists could fully understand and interpret. At the turn of the first century CE\, these same birds began to speak plain Latin\, apparently endorsing the new regime of the Caesars in language that anyone could understand. On closer examination\, however\, these talking birds turn out to be transmitting a much more troubling message about the constitution of the Roman body politic at a moment of uncertainty and rapid change. \nMartin Devecka is a post-doctoral fellow at Yale University who will join the Classical Studies faculty at UC Santa Cruz in 2015-16. He is a cultural historian with a special interest in applying the methods of sociology to the ancient world. Current projects include a comparative history of ruins\, a historical zoology of the Roman Empire\, and an investigation of peripatetic attitudes toward technology.
