SUMMARY:Maurice Samuels: "French Universalism and the Jews:  Anti-Antisemitism and the Right to Difference"
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Diller Family Endowment Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies presents Maurice Samuels: “French Universalism and the Jews: Anti-Antisemitism and the Right to Difference.” \nIn conflicts over the veil or the return of antisemitism in France today\, minority difference is often seen as a threat not only to public order but to the Republic itself. Long on the defensive\, universalism has now staged a comeback in current discourse that seeks to guard against excessive communitarianism or the fantasized demon of American-style multi-culturalism. However\, the universal and the particular were not always as opposed as today seems to be the case. In this paper\, I look back at the history of the way the universal was theorized in relation to France’s paradigmatic minority—the Jews—from the Revolution through the nineteenth century. My goal is to show that prior to the hardening of positions during the Dreyfus Affair\, French universalism was far more welcoming to minority difference than is ordinarily assumed today. Recovering this history\, I suggest\, might offer ways around France’s current ethnic and religious dilemmas. \nMaurice Samuels is Betty Jane Anlyan Professor of French at Yale\, where he also directs the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism. He’s is the author of “The Spectacular Past: Popular History and the Novel in Nineteenth-Century France\,” published by Cornell University Press in 2004\, and of “Inventing the Israelite: Jewish Fiction in Nineteenth-Century France\,” published by Stanford University Press in 2010\, which won the Scaglione Prize given by the MLA for the best book in French Studies. He also co-edited “Nineteenth-Century Jewish Literature: A Reader\,” published by Stanford in 2013. \nEvery year we honor Helen Diller\, whose generous endowment continues to provide crucial support to Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, by hosting a public lecture series on campus by an internationally recognized scholar. \nThis event was made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nFREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC\nClick here for directions and parking maps: http://ihr.ucsc.edu/directions/\nFor disability related accommodations\, please contact ihr@ucsc.edu or 831-459-5655. \nFacebook \n\n  \nPODCAST: \n \nPHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:David Brundage: "Remembering 1916 in America: The Easter Rising’s Many Faces\, 1919-1962"
DESCRIPTION:David Brundage is Professor of history and the History Graduate Program Director. \nThe talk will draw on an essay-in-progress for a collection entitled Remembering 1916: The Easter Rising\, the Somme and the Politics of Memory\, ed. Richard S. Grayson and Fearghal McGarry. Brundage focuses his attention on a period that has been relatively neglected in the history of the Irish in America\, the 1920s through the early 1960s. How (and by whom) was the 1916 Rising remembered in this period? Providing some answers to this question can tell us a great deal about the striking diversity of memory practices\, while also shedding light on important aspects of Irish American (and American) life in these decades. \nA once powerful Irish American nationalist movement shrank dramatically in this period. Nonetheless\, the Rising continued to be remembered (differently) by Catholic churchmen\, Irish American labor leaders\, African American nationalists\, and Hollywood. The telling of the Easter Rising story\, Brundage argues\, had a kind of modular character. That is\, narratives of 1916\, frequently marked by stirring examples of idealism\, courage\, and sacrifice\, could be lifted out of their specifically Irish context and used to legitimize or inspire other sorts of movements and agendas—or simply to entertain. Remembering 1916 in America involved a diverse array of people\, practices\, and motives\, and its analysis has the potential to shed light on important mid-twentieth century topics ranging from African American nationalism to representations of Ireland and the Irish in American popular culture. \nLight refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Neferti Tadiar: "Next to Nothing"
DESCRIPTION:This talk is a meditation on remaindered life\, the unsubsumable\, indivisible yet every-diminishing leftover of life-making practice for those who live in proximity to a social state of utter valuelessness. Drawing on diverse yet connected social contexts of redundant or superfluous populations\, including undocumented immigrants\, refugees\, guest workers\, and criminalized black and brown men and women\, in a global\, post-Fordist economy where all life bears the potential to serve as a direct means and source for the extraction of capitalist value\, the talk explores the significance of lives lived on the perpetual verge of being nothing not only to offer an alternative account of the current globopolitical order. Tracing the constitutive elements of slavery and colonialism in this global present\, the talk also reflects on the petty social currencies of small-time living as a speculative exercise on what is to be done next. \n\n  \nPODCAST: \n \nPHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Beller: "The Computational Unconscious"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk understands the rise of Capitalism as the first digital culture with universalizing aspirations and capabilities\, and recognizes contemporary culture\, driven as it is by electronic digital computing\, as something like digital culture 2.0. Rather than seeing this shift strictly as a break\, we might consider it as one result of an overall intensification in the practices of quantification. Thus\, if capitalism was already a digital computer\, then “the invisible hand\,” as the non-subjective\, social summation of the individualized practices of the pursuit of private gain\, was an early expression of the computational unconscious. With the broadening and deepening of the imperative towards quantification and rational calculus posited then presupposed during the modern period by the expansionist program of Capital\, the process of the assignation of number to all variables first discernible in the commodity-form\, whereby every use-value was also an exchange-value\, entered into our machines\, rendering first the rationalization of production in the assembly line and then modern computing. Today\, as could be well known from everyday observation if not from media theory\, computation arguably underpins all productive activity\, and particularly significant for this argument\, activities that stretch from image-making\, to writing\, and therefore to thought. The contention here is not simply that capitalism is the unconscious of computation\, it is that the unconscious itself\, as the domain of the unthought that organizes thought\, is computational. Therefore\, not only is consciousness a computational effect\, but all the structural inequalities endemic to capitalist production – often appearing under variants of the ostensibly analog categories of race\, class\, gender\, sexuality\, nation\, etc.\, but just as importantly and as often disappeared into our machines – inhere in the logistics of computation\, and consequently\, in the real-time organization of language\, which is to say\, our thought. \nJonathan Beller is Professor of English and Humanities and Critical and Visual Studies\, Pratt Institute. He is one of the foremost theorists of the visual turn and the attention economy. He works on the history of cinema and the way in which the screen-image has altered all aspects of social life. These alterations range from the lived experiences of gender\, sexuality and race\, to the socio-economic reorganization of peoples\, governments and the environment. His research and pedagogy is undertaken with a commitment to those struggling for social justice in what he calls “the world-media system.” Books and edited volumes include The Cinematic Mode of Production: Attention Economy and the Society of the Spectacle; Acquiring Eyes: Philippine Visuality\, Nationalist Struggle and the World-Media System; and Feminist Media Theory (a special issue of The Scholar and Feminist Online). His current book projects are entitled The Rain of Images and Computational Capital. Beller also serves on the Editorial Collective of the internationally recognized journal Social Text\, and is the current director of The Graduate Program in Media Studies. He teaches Mediologies I and a variety of electives. \n\n  \nSpring 2015 Colloquium Series\n\n\nApril 8\, 2015 – Neloufer de Mel: “The ‘Perethaya’s’ Fury: Ethical Frameworks and Zones of Justice in Post-War Sri Lanka”\n\nApril 15\, 2015 – Karen de Vries: “Queer Storytelling\, Secular Religion\, and the Anthropocene Blues”\n\nApril 22\, 2015 – T.J.

SUMMARY:Learning Spanish is a Waste of Time: Understanding Heritage Learner Resistance in a Southwest Charter High School
DESCRIPTION:Kimberly Adilia Helmer \nWriting Program at UC Santa Cruz \nThrough the lens of “resistance\,” the current critical ethnography examines some causes of “strike-like” behavior observed in a Spanish heritage language class in a US southwest charter high school. Fundamental to student resistance was the lack of meaningful activity and authentic materials that connected curriculum to students’ linguistic strengths\, target-culture knowledge\, and the communities from which they came. \nThe native Spanish-speaking teacher taught the course as if the Mexican-origin students were foreign language learners without certain native-like language proficiencies and insider cultural knowledge gained from actual experience. \nIn turn\, the instructor did not fully access his own linguistic and cultural repertoire\, but instead relied on published foreign language materials that failed to engage students and constructed them as linguistic and cultural outsiders. A pueblo-based pedagogical framework is proposed to make curriculum more culturally relevant\, authentic\, and engaging.

SUMMARY:Perverse Modernities: Conversations in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
DESCRIPTION:Perverse Modernities transgresses modern divisions of knowledge that have historically separated the consideration of sexuality\, and its concern with desire\, gender\, bodies\, and performance\, on the one hand\, from the consideration of race\, colonialism\, and political economy\, on the other\, in order to explore how the mutual implication of race\, colonialism\, and sexuality has been rendered perverse and unintelligible within the logics of modernity. \nBooks in the series have elaborated such perversities in the challenge to modern assumptions about historical narrative and the nation-state\, the epistemology of the human sciences\, the continuities of the citizen-subject and civil society\, the distinction between health and morbidity\, and the rational organization of that society into separate spheres. Perverse modernities\, in this sense\, have included queer of color and queer anticolonial subcultures\, racialized sexualized laborers migrating from the global south to the metropolis\, nonwestern desires and bodies and their incommensurability with the gendered\, national or communal meanings attributed to them\, and analyses of the refusals of normative domestic “healthy” life narratives by subjects who inhabit and perform sexual risk\, different embodiments\, and alternative conceptions of life and death. The project also highlights intellectual “perversities” from disciplinary infidelities and epistemological promiscuity\, to theoretical irreverence and heterotopic imaginings. \n\n  \n3:00-3:30 PM Introduction (Lisa Lowe and J.

SUMMARY:Mark Andrejevic: "Drone Theory: Automated Data Collection and Processing and the Always-On War"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is not about drones per se – or even war per se; but rather about the deployment of ubiquitous\, always-on\, networked sensors for the purposes of automated data collection\, processing\, and response. It is also about the ways in which the logic of drone warfare: prediction and pre-emption\, come to characterize a wide realm of social practices: marketing\, job screening\, health care\, romance\, and more. The presentation considers the ways in which some contemporary strands of critical theory replicate and rehearse the logics of data-driven droning: the advent of drone theory. \nMark Andrejevic is an Associate Professor of Media Studies at Pomona College. He researches the relationship between popular culture\, interactive media\, and surveillance. His books include\, Reality TV: The Work of Being Watched (2004)\, iSpy: Surveillance and Power in the Interactive Era (2007)\, and Infoglut: How Too Much Information is Changing The Way We Think and Know (2013). He examines the social and cultural implications of data mining\, predictive analytics\, and other forms of surveillance that have become integral to how subjects interact with digital media and popular culture.
