SUMMARY:Camille Fauroux:  "Framing Gender across Boundaries:  French Women at Work in Berlin’s War Industry (1940-1945)"
DESCRIPTION:During the Second World War\, 50\,000 to 100\,000 French women chose to leave France to work for the war industry in Germany. Their transnational experience points to the racial and gendered division of labor that deployed itself throughout Nazi occupied Europe. In an attempt to sustain the war effort while limiting German’s women’s draft and preserve their status as mothers and housewives\, the National-socialist state chose to rely on the forced labor of millions of foreign men and women from occupied territories who where brought to the Reich. Drawing from a case study on the high-tech electronic industry in Berlin between 1940 and 1945\, I reveal how French women’s “voluntary work” became more and more coerced as the war went on. Segregated housing in camps ensured a tight control of these workers as well as it prevented them from founding families on the German soil\, but it also provided unexpected space for solidarity and resistance to forced labor. \nCamille Fauroux is a doctoral candidate at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. This year\, she is a visiting  research associate at UC Santa Cruz. Her dissertation\, under the supervision of Prof. Laura Lee Downs\, examines French women’s labor in National-socialist Germany between 1940 and 1945. Her research interests include forced labor\, migration\, sexuality\, and the transnational construction of gender. \nLight refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Emily Hunt & Julien Poirier
DESCRIPTION:Emily Hunt is the author of the poetry collection Dark Green (The Song Cave\, 2015). She holds an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, and her poems have appeared in the Iowa Review\, the PEN Poetry Series\, The Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day Feature\, TYPO\, The Volta\, Diagram\, and elsewhere. In 2013\, Brave Men Press published This Always Happens\, a book of her drawings\, and she has provided cover art for several poetry collections. She lives in Oakland\, CA. \n  \nPoet Julien Poirier grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and was educated at Columbia University. He has described his poems as a system or a conversation already in progress\, aligning observed and spoken ephemera with sound echoes\, tracing the movement of a restless mind across themes of politics\, poetics\, and daily life. In an article on reading Poirier for EOAGH: A Journal of the Arts\, poet Filip Marinovich stated\, “Poirier is a Genius in the classical sense: a resident spirit of Poetry\, arcangeling words through the top of one’s lifted head. …” In a 2013 interview with Noel Black for BOMB Magazine\, Poirier offered the following: “It’s exciting to be writing poems now … because if you can plunge into the simultaneity of all of these events that warped you in some way\, drove you crazy or forced you to find some narrow streak of optimism in the evident relentless disaster\, then you might\, as a poet\, be able to get deeper and deeper into an understanding of what’s happening. You might be able to understand the way things work together and make a poem map\, ‘a map to the map’ as my friend Tony said\, before you forget. And it’s incredibly exciting because there are about a million ways to go about doing this.” \nPoirier is the author of the full-length poetry collection El Golpe Chileño (2010); several chapbooks\, including Flying Over the Fence with Amadou Diallo (2000)\,Short Stack (2005)\, and Stained Glass Windows of California (2012); and the formally innovative newspaper novel Living! Go and Dream (2005). \nA founding member of Ugly Duckling Presse Collective\, Poirier edited the New York Nights newspaper from 2001 to 2006. He has taught poetry in New York City public schools and at San Quentin State Prison. He lives in Berkeley with his wife and two daughters. \n\n  \nSpring 2016 Living Writers Series: Out of Line \nWhy Out of Line? \n“I chose the theme Out of Line because it characterizes the way many of these writers work across genre\, in different genres\, and generally seem to prize the element of surprise in their writing. I’m hoping it will encourage our students to think outside the box and have fun with their writing. In general\, I’m confident this will be a really fun series with a lot of writers with great senses of humor as well as deep interests in the political.” – Professor Micah Perks \nThis event is free and open to the public! Books from the authors will be on sale at the event by the Bay Tree Book Store. Get a book and get it signed by our marvelous visiting authors! \nThursdays\, 6:00-7:45 PM\nHumanities Lecture Hall\, 206 \nApril 7: Githa Hariharan (CANCELED)\nApril 14: Kate Schatz\nApril 21: Manuel Gonzales\nApril 28: Charlie Jane Anders\nMay 5: NO READING\nMay 12: Elizabeth McKenzie\nMay 19: Lev Grossman\nMay 26: Emily Hunt & Julien Poirier\nJune 2: Student Reading

SUMMARY:Ruling Passions: Sexuality\, Science and the (Post)colonial State
DESCRIPTION:The past decade or so has witnessed a rapid rise in scholarship that seeks to seize or transform the language of the “science” for liberatory ends. Such an attachment to the reparative and/or divisive logic of “science” is most evident in minoritized knowledge-formations such as sexuality studies and colonial/postcolonial studies. In the face of contemporary challenges about the limits of scholarship bowing out to the forces of globalization\, the colloquium will examine what is at stake for sexuality studies and postcolonial studies to carve out a critical relationship to histories of science? \nThe types of issues we envisage participants addressing will engage three central questions: \nWhat are the conversations instituted about sexuality in relationship to the colonial and postcolonial state in the global south?\nHow does sexuality studies’s own adherence/attachment to science studies parochialize key assumptions about freedom\, rights and the subject?\nWhat are the ways in which modalities of sentiment\, affect\, emotion entangle with the logic of state discourses and what role does sexuality play within such exchanges? \nSchedule:\n10:00am–10:15am: Introductory Remarks\nAnjali Arondekar\, Feminist Studies\, UCSC \n10:15am-10:30am: Poetic Techne\nRonaldo Wilson\, Literature\, UCSC \n10:30-12:30: The Arabic Freud and the Invention of the Psychosexual Subject\nOmnia El Shakry\, History\, UC Davis\nRespondent: Alma Heckman\, History\, UCSC \n12:30-1:30: Break \n1:30-3:30: Origins and the Sexuality of Science in Colonial India\nDurba Mitra\, History\, Fordham\nRespondent: Megan Moodie\, Anthropology\, UCSC \nParticipants:\nDurba Mitra\, Department of History\, Fordham University \nOrigins and the Sexuality of Science in Colonial India \nDurba Mitra is an assistant professor of history at Fordham University. She is currently a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Penn Humanities Forum at the University of Pennsylvania for the year of “Sex.” \nOmnia El Shakry\, Department of History\, UC Davis \nThe Arabic Freud and the Invention of the Psychosexual Subject \nOmnia El Shakry specializes in the the intellectual history of the Arab world and Europe\, with a special emphasis on the history of the human sciences in Egypt. Her current book project\, The Arabic Freud: Psychoanalysis and Islam in Modern Egypt\, traces the lineaments of psychoanalysis in postwar Egypt. \nCANCELLED – Duana Fullwiley\, Department of Anthropology\, Stanford University \nThe Racial Embrace: DNA Sequences meet Dream Sequences in Struggles for (Scientific) Liberation \nDr. Duana Fullwiley is an anthropologist of science and medicine interested in how social identities\, health outcomes\, and molecular genetic findings increasingly intersect. She is the author of The Enculturated Gene: Sickle Cell Health Politics and Biological Difference in West Africa (Princeton\, 2011)\, which examines how structural adjustment policies in Africa affected not only the lived experiences of sickle cell patients in Senegal\, but also influenced the genetic science about them. \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:BIOS Research Colloquium:  Historicizing Surveillance
DESCRIPTION:BIOS Research Colloquium: Historicizing Surveillance \nFeaturing Guest Speakers:\nSimone Browne and Simon A. Cole \nFriday May 27th\, 2-5 pm\, Humanities 1 Room 202 \n\n  \nSimone Browne\, Draw a black line through it: On the Surveillance of Blackness \nSituating blackness as an absented presence in the field of surveillance studies\, this talk questions how a realization of the conditions of blackness— the historical\, the present\, and the historical present can help social theorists understand our contemporary conditions of surveillance. \nSimone Browne is Associate Professor in the Department of African and American Diaspora Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. \n  \nSimon A. Cole\, Identity or “Mere Identification”? Biometric Databases from Fingerprinting to DNA. \nThis talk traces the history of biometric identification technologies from their origins through to the present and the ethical and humanistic issues that have persistently been raised by them. It then discusses how we should understand these issues in the present moment of rapid technological advancement. It focuses in particular on the relationship between “mere” identification and broader notions of identity—behavioral\, racial\, and so on\, and implications for the increasing expansion of genetic databases. \nSimon Cole is Professor of Criminology\, Law and Society and Director of the Newkirk Center for Science and Society at the University of California\, Irvine. \nThese talks will be followed by a conversation about research projects\, new issues and directions\, information exchange and coffee and cookies. The colloquium is open to the public\, and graduate students are encouraged especially to attend. This colloquium is sponsored by the UC Biosurveillance Working Group\, the UC Humanities Research Institute and the UCSC Institute for Humanities Research.
