SUMMARY:Bernard Stiegler: "Beyond the Anthropocene"
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to think in a state of emergency? \nThis is now a pressing question when the Anthropocene disrupts the biosphere where we – permanently connected and algorithmically controlled – live in a permanent state of emergency\, universal\, and unpredictable. \nLunch will be provided at 11am in Humanities 1\, Room 202. \nTwo theses will be addressed:\n– On the one hand\, to think in the Anthropocene\, one must rethink the Anthropocene itself\, and to rethink the Anthropocene\, we must think beyond the Anthropocene\, which is a dead end.\n– On the other hand\, beyond the Anthropocene\, there is the Neguanthropocene\, a coming era in which thinking means taking care (in French\, « panser » ; in German « sorgen »).\nThis is what will be expressed by an untranslatable neologism\, a neologism not unrelated to Jacques Derrida’s concept of « differance » : in the Anthropocene\, thought becomes « la p(a)nsée ». \nBernard Stiegler will also have an event at 4pm in Porter 245 were he will talk about digital studies at the Visual and Media Cultures Colloquium. \nRespondents: Hayden White\, Wlad Godzich\, and Anna Tsing. \nSponsored by: Computation\, Culture\, and Games Research Cluster\, Center for Cultural Studies\, Institute for Humanities Research\, Arts Division\, DANM\, and Film & Digital Media. \nBernard Stiegler directs the Institut de recherche et d’innovation du Centre Pompidou and is president of the Ars Industrialis association. He is affiliate faculty at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne\, distinguished professor at Nanjing University\, and visiting professor at the Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University. \n  \n\n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a Wednesday colloquium series\, which features current cultural studies work by campus faculty and visitors. The sessions are informal\, normally consisting of a 30-40 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center will provide coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nFall 2016 Colloquium Dates: \nOctober 19 Paul N. Edwards \nOctober 26 Alma Heckman \nNovember 2 Anna Tsing / Isbelle Carbonell \nNovember 9 Joan Wallach Scott \nNovember 16 Robin Hunicke

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Sara Mameni
DESCRIPTION:“Ethnofuturism and the Archeology of the Future”\nSara Mameni\, UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow \nIn her video project\, “In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain” (2014)\, Larissa Sansour enters the fictional world of a resistance group who bury porcelain remains of an imaginary civilization to influence history and support their claims to land and sovereignty. Shuttling between past and future\, the film uses science fiction aesthetics and speculative language to re-write the history of the future and lay claim to home. Similarly\, Morehshin Allahyari’s ongoing project titled “Material Speculation” (2015) reconstructs archeological artifacts destroyed by ISIS in 3D format \, archiving lost objects by including a digital memory card inside each newly constructed artifact. Sansour and Allahyari use the science of past-making to enter into the future. Yet unlike archeology’s attachment to stable land\, they propose a virtual archeology of landsand artifacts already lost. I argue that artist such as Sansour and Allahyari launch an ethnofuturist aesthetic geared towards a sustained relationship with otherness\, defying temporarily by claiming their politics in the imaginitve space of the future and the speculative space of hope. \nSara Mameni received her PhD in Art History at UC San Diego with dissertation titled “On Persian Blues: Queer Bodies\, Racial Affects.” Her research\, publications and curatorial work have engaged gender\, race and sexuality in art and visual culture in Iran and Arab/Muslim world. \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Fall 2016 Schedule: \nOctober 13th: Sara Mameni\,”Ethnofuturism and the Archeology of the Future”\nNovember 3rd: Redi Koobak\,”Rethinking Gender\, Art & Geopolitics through Post-national War Rhetoric”\nDecember 1st: Cleo Woelfle-Erskine\,”Queer x Trans x Ecology: Toward a Field Science Practice”

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Mikki Stelder
DESCRIPTION:“Homozionism: ‘From the Closet into the Knesset'” \nMy project focuses on the role of sexual politics in Israel’s settler colonial occupation of Palestine\, international (queer) complicities\, and anti-colonial queer resistance. For this presentation I look forward to discuss the first chapter of my dissertation that charts the globally celebrated genealogy of Israel’s gay movement from “the closet into the Knesset” (Kama 2011). I argue that this move enabled what Palestinian queer activist call Israel’s pinkwashing campaign to emerge. Pinkwashing describes a government sponsored branding campaign that seeks to present Israel in a positive light because of its gay rights achievements. Rather than situate pinkwashing as a post-9/11 phenomenon that can fit neatly into narratives of contemporary homonationalism\, Islamphobia and anti-Arab racism in the Global North\, I turn to this genealogy as one that I call homozionism. \n\nFriday Forum Fall 2016 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. \nOctober 14th- Mikki Stedler\, Feminist Studies and History of Consciousness\nOctober 21st- Kali Rubaii\, Anthropology\nOctober 28th- Mitchell Winter\, HAVC\nNovember 6th- Hahkyung Darline Kim\, Film and Digital Media\nNovember 18th- Sophi Pappenheim\, Literature\nDecember 2nd- Nicole Vandermeer\, History
