SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels" (Non-citizenship series)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present an event in the series on Non-citizenship\nHistorians and filmmakers Philip Misevich and Konrad Tuchscherer of St. John’s University join UC Santa Cruz’s David Anthony and Greg O’Malley in a conversation about forced migration at this free\, public screening of “Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels\,” 2016 winner of the American Historical Association’s John E. O’Connor Film Award. \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Allison Garcia\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nAbout the Film\nGhost of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels by Tony Buba is based on Marcus Rediker’s The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom (Viking-Penguin\, 2012). It chronicles a trip to Sierra Leone in 2013 to visit the home villages of the people who seized the slave schooner Amistad in 1839\, to interview elders about local memory of the case\, and to search for the long-lost ruins of Lomboko\, the slave trading factory where their cruel transatlantic voyage began. The film uses the knowledge of villagers\, fishermen\, and truck drivers to recover a lost history from below in the struggle against slavery. \n“This film is an ambitious and imaginative attempt to explore the impact of the Amistad Mutiny and the repatriation of the brave Africans to their homes in Sierra Leone. It is of great interest to any student of slavery and the slave trade.” – Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, Harvard University \nLocation:\nDel Mar Theatre\, 1124 Pacific Avenue\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nEvent details:\nFilm at 7:00pm\nQ&A Discussion at 8:00pm \nGreg O’Malley\, Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Cruz\, moderates the Q&A with Professors Misevich and Tuchscherer immediately following the screening.

Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture. Linking citizenship\, migration\, border\, labor\, and carceral studies\, and juxtaposing spatial and social mobility and immobility\, this year-long series of events explores what it means to be a citizen and non-citizen in a world made by migrants\, refugees\, guest workers\, permanent residents\, asylum seekers\, slaves\, prisoners\, detainees\, the stateless\, and denizens (residents who do not hold the same rights as citizens). Non-citizenship is organized around three themes: “Forced Migration” (fall 2016)\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity” (winter 2017)\, and “Fluidity of Status: Migrants\, Citizens\, Denizens” (spring 2017).

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Mitchell Winter
DESCRIPTION:“Polemics of Disintegration: Advaita Metaphysics in the Works of Alejandro Jodorowsky” \nThe Chilean artist Alejandro Jodorowsky (b. 1929) often engages with non-linearity and non-sense as narrative devices in his work. Throughout his career Jodorowsky’s thematic repertoire has adopted elements of the Kabbalistic science of the Marseille tarot\, European alchemy\, and New Age formulations of Hindu and Zen Buddhist thought. I attempt to trave the genealogical articulation of Jodorowsky’s brand of filmmaking and artistic practice by working through his depiction of Hindu\, specifically Advaita (non-dualist)\, philosophy in two films\, The Holy Mountain (1973) and The Dance of Reality (2013). Far from appealing to an Orientalist aesthetic\, Jodorowsky incorporates Advaita conceptions of indeterminacy which “uses this disintegration {of meaning} and constructs order out of it. \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 Stelder\, Feminist Studies and History of Consciousness\nOctober 21st- Kali Rubaii\, Anthropology\nOctober 28th- Mitchell Winter\, HAVC\nNovember 4th- Hahkyung Darline Kim\, Film and Digital Media\nNovember 18th- Sophi Pappenheim\, Literature\nDecember 2nd- Nicole Vandermeer\, History
