SUMMARY:Debbora Battaglia: "Roots in Air: People/Plants/Ethics in Suspension"
DESCRIPTION:“Roots in Air: People/Plants/Ethics in Suspension” \nOut of the urban ruins and food deprivation of World War II came the prototype for growing plants aeroponically. Aeroponics has since taken surprising turns as a technology for anthropocenic conditions – in Global South laboratories; “vertical gardens”; art installations; plant biology experiments for colonizing the cosmos. In its wake\, questions open concerning the ethics of plant-people relations in future-making projects. \nDebbora Battaglia is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at Mt. Holyoke College. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Kristen Laciste
DESCRIPTION:From Maidservant to Anomalous Aristocrat: Imaging and Imagining Dido Elizabeth Belle \nThe double portrait of cousins\, entitled\, Dido Elizabeth Belle and Lady Elizabeth Murray\, is truly an anomaly in 18th century British art. Depicting two aristocratic women\, one back and one white\, the painting inspired the 2014 film\, Belle. Incorporating the fancy and flair of period dramas\, the creators of Belle fabricated a largely fictional account\, envisioning Dido with a generous measure of agency and influence despite being black and female. This is evident in the portrait revealed in the movie. Though the original painting and film version are nearly identical\, this presentation examines the two\, considering the implications of the alterations made in the latter. \nFriday Forum Spring quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:30-2pm\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. \nApril 21\, 2017: Jaclyn N. Schultz\, History \nApril 28\, 2017: Baizhu Chen\, Economics \nMay 5\, 2017: Danielle Crawford\, Literature \nMay 12\, 2017: Kristen Laciste\, HAVC \nMay 19\, 2017: Kara Hisatake\, Literature \nMay 26\, 2017: Yuki Obayashi\, Literature \nJune 2\, 2017: Angela Nguyen\, Psychology
