SUMMARY:DH Working Group Meeting / Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Digital Humanities Working Group will meet to discuss a shared reading. This quarter we will consider the field of Digital Humanities broadly and the challenges to the idea of a Digital Humanities field. To spark this discussion\, we will read 3 selections from Matthew Gold\, ed. Debatesin Digital Humanities (First published in print by University of Minnesota\, 2012 and now available and expanded online at http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/debates). \nMatthew Gold\, “The Digital Humanities Moment”\nMatthew Kirshenbaum\, “What Is Digital Humanities and What’s It Doing in English Departments?“\nTom Scheinfeldt\, “Sunsetfor Ideology\, Sunrise for Methodology?“ \nCo-sponsored by the Graduate Student Commons. \nThe Digital Humanities Working Group meets once-a-month to share ongoing work\, read foundational texts\, and create a vision for Digital Humanities at UCSC. All students\, faculty\, and staff welcome. \nContact digitalhumanities@ucsc.edu for more details about any of the above events.\nFollow @DH_UCSC on Twitter and Digital Humanities at UCSC on Facebook.

SUMMARY:Felipe De Brigard: "The Explanatory Indispensability of Memory Traces"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nMany philosophers of memory have wondered whether or not it is indispensible to postulate the existence of memory traces to explain remembering. In this talk I will offer an argument in favor of the explanatory indispensability of memory traces. To that end\, I will begin by demonstrating that the main arguments in favor of the claim that we need memory traces to explain remembering share the logical structure of a inference to the best explanation. As a result\, most arguments against the claim that we need memory traces to explain remembering aim to show that we can have equally successful explanations that do not require the postulation of such entities. My argument aims to show that there is a large number of memory phenomena for which explanations that do not postulate the existence of memory traces would be inadequate. \n*** \nAbout: \nFelipe De Brigard\nAssistant Professor\nCenter for Cognitive Neuroscience\nPhilosophy\, Arts & Sciences\nDuke University \n*** \nResearch Interests: Philosophy of Mind\, Cognitive Science and Neuroscience; Neurophilosophy; Moral Psychology \nMost of my research focuses on the way in which memory and imagination interact. So far\, I have explored ways in which episodic memory both guides and constrains episodic counterfactual thinking (i.e.\, thoughts about alternative ways in which past personal events could have occurred)\, and how this interaction affects the perceived plausibility of imagined counterfactual events. I also explore the differential contribution of episodic and semantic memory in the generation of different kinds of counterfactual simulations\, as well as the effect of counterfactual thinking on the memories they derive from. In addition\, my research attempts to understand how prior experience helps to constrain the way in which we reconstruct episodic memories. Finally\, I am also interested in the role of internal attention during conscious recollection. To address these issues I use behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques\, as well as the conceptual rigor of philosophical analysis. \n  \n\n  \nThe campus community and interested public are welcome at all Philosophy Department sponsored colloquia\, conferences and workshops. \nSpring 2015 \n\nShelley Wilcox\, San Francisco State\n\nWinter 2015 \n\nRebecca Kukla\, Georgetown\nFelipe De Brigard\, Duke\n\nFall 2014 \n\nEric Schwitzgebel\, UC Riverside: The Moral Behavior of Ethics Professors\n\nMore info at: http://philosophy.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia-conferences/index.html

SUMMARY:Sikh Rappers & Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nSikh hip-hop artists Baagi and Hoodini will explore facets of the immigrant and minority experience in multicultural America\, in an evening of music\, poetry and collective discussion. The evening will touch on topics such as race relations and social inequalities in today’s complex society. Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nBaagi\n“Babbey nu Kanna\, Gaggay nu Bihari.” In spelling the word “Baagi\,” the celebration of a rebellious Punjabi heritage is reborn. Baagi is one of the few artists to rap exclusively in Panjabi. Born and raised in Bombay until moving to Los Angeles in his early teens\, Baagi brings a unique perspective both to Hip-Hop and to the evolution of Punjabi culture. A childhood passion for composing Punjabi poetry coupled with his love for Hip-Hop eventually turned an after-school hobby into a career of expression. This artist uses Farsi\, Hindi and Panjabi vocabulary to add a new voice to the musical conglomerate. Baagi uses his platform to paint pictures of social issues\, easygoing personal anecdotes\, and day-to-day experiences\, as seen through the lens of a young man influenced by the intersections of many worlds. Professor Navdeep Dhillon writes\, “I am looking to forward to seeing what else he comes up with and remain optimistic that he will be the breath of fresh air for Punjabi music\, both in Punjab and overseas…” Baagi has performed extensively throughout North America and has collaborated with renowned Punjabi artists such as Nishawn Bhullar and Tigerstyle. His debut album\, titled Baagi Di Vaari\, is available for free download at http://beabaagi.bandcamp.com. You can follow him on Twitter @BaagiMedia. \nHoodini\nHoodini\, also known as Hoodeez the Hindoo\, has been hailed as “one of the most lyrical and charismatic emcees of South Asian descent” by critics. The poet and Hip-Hop artist combines witty wordplay\, lyrical agility\, and keen storytelling to present a novel narrative to his audience with natural ease. Born and raised in Los Angeles to immigrant parents from Punjab\, Hoodini shares the experiences of a young man trying to find his way in an increasingly complex society. He is both participator and observer\, analytical of the world around him while reporting on it with humor and abandon. In listening to a Hoodini record\, you may easily find yourself migrating from a commentary on issues of race relations to a jaunty reminiscence of a past love interest\, often within the same verse. Hoodeez has released four studio albums to date and has shared the stage with notable Hip-Hop artists including Blu\, Pacific Division\, Skeme\, and RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. You can keep up with his latest works at http://HoodiniDidIt.com and on Twitter @HoodiniDidIt. \nDirections & Parking\nClick here for directions\, parking info\, and maps. \nJoin the Conversation:\nClick here for a recap of the event from the Division of Social Sciences.\n \nFacebook\n#ihrevents \n\n  \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \n  \nEVENT VIDEO: \n  \nSikh Rappers from IHR on Vimeo.

SUMMARY:Vera Gribanova: "Head movement\, ellipsis\, and Russian polarity focus"
DESCRIPTION:Vera Gribanova is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Stanford University.\n  \nAbstract: \nIn this talk I chart the interaction between head movement\, ellipsis\, and non-canonical word orders in the analysis of a variety of Russian responses to statements or questions that raise polar alternatives in the discourse.\n  \n(1) Evgenija poslala posylku v Moskvu?\nEvgenija send.PST.3SG.F package.ACC to Moscow.LOC\n‘Did Eugenia send the package to Moscow?’ \na. (Net\,) Ne poslala / (Da\,) Poslala.\nNo NEG send.PST.3SG.F / yes send.PST.3SG.F\n‘(No\,) she didn’t / (Yes\,) she did.’ \nb. (Də) (net\,) ne poslala ona eë!\nPRT no NEG send.PST.3SG.F she.nom it.F.ACC\n‘(No\,) she DIDN’T send it!’ \nc. V Moskvu {poslala / da}\, a v Piter {ne poslala / net}.\nto Moscow {send.PST.3SG.F / yes} but to Piter {NEG send.PST.3SG.F / no}\n‘To Moscow yes (she did)\, to St. Petersburg\, no (she didn’t).’\n  \nAlthough some of these seemingly diverse constructions have already received individual analyses (Kazenin\, 2006; Laleko\, 2010; Gribanova\, 2013; Bailyn\, To appear)\, I argue that besides sharing a discourse function\, they are also syntactically unifiable. As a first step\, I defend an axis of novel claims about the expression of polarity in canonical Russian clauses: features associated with polarity are located in Pol\, but may be expressed in a lower head (Neg)\, which enters the syntactic derivation with unvalued polarity features that are valued via an agree relation with Pol. I then extend this analysis to the cases in (1)\, arguing that these involve the expression of polarity features in a high clausal Polarity head (Pol)\, either via the realization of polarity particles or via the movement of the verbal complex to this high position (yielding discourse-marked vso orders). \nSince many of the expressions in (1) also involve some readily observable form of ellipsis (Kazenin\, 2006; Gribanova\, 2013)\, the resulting empirical picture provides fertile ground for an exploration of the interaction of ellipsis and head movement\, ultimately shedding light on the controversial question of the modular status of head movement (see Matushansky 2006; Roberts 2010 for useful overviews). Considering the head movement alone\, a consequence of my proposal is that there are two possible landing sites for the verb: an intermediate position below T and the surface position of the subject for canonical svo orders (Bailyn\, 1995; Gribanova\, 2013) and a high position (above the surface position of the subject) for various instantiations of polarity focus\, yielding discourse-marked vso orders. We can combine this observation with insights from the current literature on ellipsis in Russian\, which suggests that at least two sizes of ellipsis site are available: TP (Kazenin\, 2006) and vP (Gribanova\, 2013). Crossing the ellipsis and head movement possibilities\, we arrive at four logical possibilities: \nI demonstrate that only three of these are attested\, explaining the impossibility of the variant in D as the result of a violation of MaxElide (Merchant\, 2008)\, a constraint which forces ellipsis of a larger domain over a smaller one in certain configurations. The effect of MaxElide canonically emerges when a variable inside the ellipsis site is bound from outside that ellipsis site — that is\, it emerges in the context of movement in the narrow syntax. The finding that head movement also may trigger a MaxElide effect indicates — echoing similar findings by Hartman (2011) — that it\, too\, occurs in the narrow syntax.\n  \nReferences\nBailyn\, John Frederick. 1995.
