SUMMARY:Sturt Manning: "Tree-Rings and Radiocarbon in the East Mediterranean and Near East"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America Presents: \n  \nProfessor Sturt Manning \nDepartment of Classics\, Cornell University \n  \nTree-Rings and Radiocarbon in the East Mediterranean and Near East: Creating an Independent\, Robust and Precise Timeframe for Archaeology and History \nProfessor Manning will discuss his efforts to combine radiocarbon (C14) and dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) to rewrite the chronologies of the civilizations of the Bronze and Early Iron Age eastern Mediterranean. His original and fundamental work has forced a reassessment of some of the linchpin events of this period\, including the famous eruption of the Santorini volcano (which some scholars had linked to the end of the Minoan civilization) and the chronology of Mesopotamia. \n  \nSturt Manning is Goldwin Smith Professor of Classical Archaeology in the Department of Classics at Cornell University and Director of the Cornell Tree Ring Laboratory. He is internationally known for his work in archaeological science\, above all in dendrochronology and radiocarbon chronology. He has published many articles and books\, including A Test of Time: The Volcano of Thera and the Chronology and History of the Aegean and East Mediterranean in the mid Second Millennium BC (second edition 2014). \n  \nOpen to the public. Refreshments will be at 4:30 p.m. and a reception will follow the lecture. \n  \nFor more information on the lecture\, please contact hedrick@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:I Am Not Your Negro - Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:I Am Not Your Negro\, is an award-winning documentary on the life and writings of James Baldwin.\nOpens at the Del Mar Theater in Santa Cruz on Friday February 17th. \nIn 1979\, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project\, Remember This House\, which was to be a revolutionary\, personal account of three assassinated leaders who were also his close friends—Medgar Evers\, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King\, Jr. At the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987\, he left behind only thirty completed pages of his manuscript. Now\, in his incendiary new documentary\, master filmmaker Raoul Peck (Sometimes in April\, Lumumba) envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. Using only Baldwin’s words\, either spoken by the man himself or read by Samuel L. Jackson\, and a flood of rich archival material\, Peck has crafted a radical\, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America. I Am Not Your Negro is a poetic\, eloquent and thought-provoking journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter; it is a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for. Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature. \nPanel:\nBrenda J. Griffin\, President\, NAACP Santa Cruz\nDavid Anthony\, Professor of History\, UCSC\nBettina Aptheker\, Professor of Feminist Studies\, UCSC\nRonaldo Wilson\, Professor of Literature & Creative Writing\, UCSC\nVicki Fabbri\, Communication Studies\, Cabrillo College\nMichael Pebworth\, Professor of History\, Cabrillo College \nFilm screening begins at 7:10pm\, with a panel discussion following at 9pm. Admission to the film includes the panel. Please save your ticket stubs! \nClick here for ticket information \nCo-Sponsored by:\nNAACP Santa Cruz\, Institute for Humanities Research\, Feminist Studies Department at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Digital Space & Difficult History: Curating The African American and Holocaust Museums
DESCRIPTION:Digital Space & Difficult History: Curating The African American and Holocaust Museums 2.22.17 from IHR on Vimeo. \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \nThe new National Museum of African American History and Culture and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum both translate difficult\, often traumatic\, histories into museum exhibitions and invite audiences of all ages to contend with narratives of struggle\, oppression\, violence\, and silence. Digital content has connected these museums to audiences beyond Washington and created opportunities for synthesis\, remembrance and reflection. \nJoin us for a discussion between Angel Nieves (consultant for the “Power of Place” exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture) and Michael Berenbaum (project director of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum) about building museums\, engaging the public\, and representing difficult memories on the Washington Mall. They will examine the role of museums in today’s post-fact world and the potential for digital tools to reimagine how museums speak to their audiences. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nClick here for directions to Kresge Town Hall \nParking attendants will be selling $4 permits in the Core West parking lot. Anyone with an ADA placard should park in lot 142 behind Kresge College. \nCo-sponsored by: Center for Jewish Studies\, IHR Digital Humanities Research Cluster\, and Digital Scholarship Commons\, with support from the Koret Foundation.

SUMMARY:Dark Deleuze in the Dark
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Culp’s Dark Deleuze (University of Minnesota Press\, 2016) offers a radical reinterpretation of the theorist Gilles Deleuze that challenges today’s world of compulsory happiness\, decentralized control\, and overexposure. Arranged in a series of contraries\, Culp’s cataclysmic politics exhorts us to kill our idols and cultivate “hatred for this world.” \n“Dark Deleuze in the Dark” is a conceptual conversation conducted in the dark with Professor Culp that addresses themes from his work on interruption\, un-becoming\, and escape. In our age of ubiquitous connectivity\, joy\, and self-disclosure\, how might darkness help us to cast a line to the outside? As Culp argued in a recent interview\, “A revolution that emerges from the darkness holds the apocalyptic potential of ending the world as we know it.” \nThis event is organized by INTERVAL and hosted by OpenLab with support from Film & Digital Media\, Digital Arts & New Media\, and the Arts Division at UCSC. INTERVAL is a space dedicated to interdisciplinary play and experimentation of art practice and scholarship. \nRefreshments provided. \nAndrew Culp is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Emerging Media and Communication at the University of Texas\, Dallas.

SUMMARY:Loess is More: A Spatial and Ecological History of Erosion on Imperial China's Northwest Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Loess is More: A Spatial and Ecological History of Erosion on Imperial China’s Northwest Frontier\nRuth Mostern \n  \nAbstract: Beginning in the eleventh century\, the Yellow River shifted from a long-term condition of relative stability to a later state of frequent floods and course changes. In recent years\, environmental scientists and historians have converged on a set of insights about the timing and processes that brought about these changes. All of the evidence confirms that the primary cause of upstream erosion and downstream flooding was the intensification of human activity in the grasslands of the Ordos basin\, the loess soil region contained within the great bend of the Yellow River. This paper introduces environmental science research about the long history of human impacts on the loess plateau during the entire Holocene. In addition it uses historical sources\, spatial analysis and soil science to focus particular particular attention on the northern and western Ordos region during the eleventh century\, explaining why these decades created a tipping point in social and ecological life in north China. \n  \nLunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Susanna Schellenberg "Perceptual Consciousness as a Mental Activity"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nI argue that perceptual consciousness is constituted by a mental activity. The mental activity in question is the activity of employing perceptual capacities\, such as discriminatory\, selective capacities. This is a radical view\, but I hope to make it plausible. In arguing for this mental activist view\, I reject orthodox views on which perceptual consciousness is analyzed in terms of (sensory awareness relations to) peculiar entities\, such as\, phenomenal properties\, external mind-independent properties\, propositions\, sense-data\, qualia\, or intentional objects. \nAbout:\nSusanna Schellenberg is a Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University and an Executive Council Faculty Member of the Rutgers University Center for Cognitive Science. Her work focuses on a range of topics in epistemology\, philosophy of mind\, and philosophy of language. She is particularly interested in the nature of perceptual content\, the epistemic role of perceptual experience\, and mental capacities.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Maggie Wander
DESCRIPTION:“Its Ok\,  We’re Safe Here”: Cultural and Eco Activism in the Film Windjarrameru (The Stealing C*nt$) \nSince 2008\, the Karrabing Film Collective has made four films about the various cultural\, political\, and social realists of being Aboriginal in twenty-first century Australia. Their 2015 film\, Windjarrameru (The Stealing C*nt$)\, highlights how social inequalities experienced every day in Aboriginal communities are inseparable from environmental destruction. Both issues are intertwined in Australia’s colonial history; due to the centrality of landscape and environment in Aboriginal worldviews and identities\, the destruction of the former necessarily impacts the latter. Windjarrameru responds to this colonial legacy by subverting ethnographic representations of Aboriginal peoples and the Australian landscape\, while the role of ancestral spirits makes visible the impact of mining on the living beings in this landscape. \nFriday Forum Winter quarter 2017 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. \nJanuary 27\, 2017: Sarah Papazoglakis\, Literature \nFebruary 03\, 2017: Rachel Shellabarger\, Environmental Studies \nFebruary 10\, 2017: Kyuhyun Han\, History \nFebruary 17\, 2017: Yulia Gilchinskaya\, Film & Digital Media \nFebruary 24\, 2017: Maggie Wander\, HAVC \nMarch 3\, 2017: Chessa Adsit-Morris\, HAVC
