SUMMARY:Carla Freccero\, "Queer/Animal/Theory: Psychoanalysis & Subjectivity"
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalysis is queer insofar as it does not presume a model of sexuality & gender from which to extrapolate a normative outcome. Likewise\, psychoanalysis does not presume “the human” as the starting point for analyzing how adult human subjectivity is achieved. How might we describe a non-anthropocentric subjectivity in psychoanalytic & queer theoretical terms? \nCarla Freccero is Distinguished Professor of Literature and History of Consciousness\, and Professor of Feminist Studies\, at UC Santa Cruz. \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:Michael Hardt: "Where have all the leaders gone?"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cultural Studies and the Institute for Humanities Research presents: \n“Where Have All the Leaders Gone?”\nEach year\, we continue to witness the eruption of “leaderless” social movements.  From North Africa and the Middle East to Europe\, the Americas\, and East Asia\, movements have left journalists\, political analysts\, police forces\, and governments disoriented and perplexed.  Activists too have struggled to understand and evaluate the power and effectiveness of horizontal movements.  Why have the movements\, which express the needs and desires of so many\, not been able to achieve lasting change and a more just society?  Many assume that if only social movements could find new leaders they would return to their earlier glory and be able to sustain and achieve projects of social transformation and liberation.  Where\, they ask\, are the new Martin Luther King Jr.s\, Rudi Dutschkes\, Patrice Lumumbas\, and Stephen Bikos?  Where have all the leaders gone? \nIn this lecture Professor Hardt will use examples from past theory and practice to situate and clarify some of the issues and alternatives involved in the organization of social movements today. \nEvent Photos\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nClick here for directions\, where to park\, and how to find the Kresge Town Hall. \n  \n \nAbout Professor Hardt: Michael Hardt teaches at Duke University\, where he is co-director of the Social Movements Lab. He is author of Gilles Deleuze and co-author (with Antonio Negri) of six books. Their Empire trilogy (Empire\, Multitude\, and Commonwealth) analyzes the contemporary capitalist global order and investigates the existing resources for creating alternatives oriented toward democracy and liberation. Their most recent book\, Assembly\, explores how social movements today can enact lasting political transformations. Michael Hardt also currently serves as the editor of The South Atlantic Quarterly. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. \nCO-SPONSORED BY THE LITERATURE DEPARTMENT\, THE POLITICS DEPARTMENT\, AND THE HISTORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS DEPARTMENT.
