SUMMARY:Najat Abdulhaq\, "Unconventional Revision of Narratives: The Emergence of the 'Arab Jew' in Contemporary Arabic Literature"
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nFor decades\, two official nationalist narratives\, Arab-Egyptian & Israeli\, dominated the discourse on the history of Egypt’s Jews. Recently\, a different narrative is emerging in the Arabic speaking sphere\, with documentaries\, films & novels taking a cardinal role in this process. How and why is this emergence taking place? \nNajat Abdulhaq is the author of Jewish and Greek Communities in Egypt: Entrepreneurship and Business Before Nasser (I. B. Tauris). \nThis week’s Cultural Studies colloquium is co-sponsored by the Jewish Studies Program. \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:Marina Rustow: "The Cairo Geniza and the Middle East’s Archive Problem"
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Diller Family Endowment Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies Presents:\nMarina Rustow: “The Cairo Geniza and the Middle East’s Archive Problem”  \nThe Cairo Geniza\, a cache of 400\,000 manuscript pages preserved in a medieval Egyptian synagogue\, has yielded many unexpected finds\, but perhaps none so unexpected as thousands of documents in Arabic script from the archives of the Fatimid caliphs (969–1171). How did papers from a state archive in Cairo find their way into the hands of the Jewish scribes who reused them as scrap paper for compositions in Hebrew script? Did Jews who handled government documents know what they were looking at? This is a period from which only a tiny number of documents is believed to have survived. The very abundance and ubiquity of documentation in the Geniza suggest otherwise\, and have much to say about the largest Jewish community in the medieval world and about the culture of legal and political rights in the Middle East. \nEvent Photos\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \n  \nMarina Rustow is the Khedouri A. Zilkha Professor of Jewish Civilization in the Near East and Professor of History at Princeton University\, where she also directs the Princeton Geniza Lab. She is the author of Heresy and the Politics of Community: The Jews of the Fatimid Caliphate (2008). In 2015\, she was named a MacArthur Fellow. \n  \nEvery year\, we honor Helen Diller\, whose generous endowment continues to provide crucial support to Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz by hosting a public lecture series on campus by an internationally recognized scholar. This event is made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \n  \n  \nPlease direct any questions or disability accommodation requests to ihr@ucsc.edu or 831-459-1274.

SUMMARY:PhD+ : Gateway to Digital Humanities - an Introduction to Digital Methodologies & Resources at UCSC
DESCRIPTION:This co-led event provides students with first-hand experience working in DH\, resources to continue building upon this project\, and a larger discussion regarding the possibilities for individual and collaborative digital research. Rachel Deblinger will open with a 45 minute hands-on workshop\, introducing the process of building a dataset and visualizing data as an analytical method. She will also share the resources available through the Digital Scholarship Commons (DSC) and discuss the range of digital skills sought on the academic job market. Following this workshop and discussion\, Zac Zimmer will talk about his personal experience with DH communities as well as the need to engage with digital concerns in traditional scholarly pursuits. Together\, they present DH not as a set of tools or skills\, but as a way of learning about and developing a critical vocabulary for a understanding the contemporary digital world. This includes the network interfaces we use daily\, the tools we employ to collect and organize research materials\, etc. For this session\, advance registration  (below) will be required. Please review this handout: https://docs.google.com/a/ucsc.edu/document/d/1u1CQq2SNOj-wVduFclQTQcLGSckE46MpJ1ifnhRH2mU/edit?usp=sharing\, and bring the requested materials to the session. \nEvent Photos\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nPhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the third year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium: "Agrarian Questions in Urban India"
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2017 Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: “Agrarian Questions in Urban India” \nVinay Gidwani\, University of Minnesota\nPriti Ramamurthy\, University of Washington \nBased on recent life histories of urban migrants who work within informal sector occupations in Delhi and Hyderabad\, we ask how “agrarian questions” orient workers’ attitudes to forms of labor and habitation. By also considering gender and caste\, we ask how these\, as embodied imprints of the agrarian\, impose limit conditions on possible politics for urban migrants. We explore two propositions: First\, workers are constantly striving to disarticulate from the sway of value\, and the growth of urban informal economies has made this both necessary and more possible. Second\, agrarian origins\, when mediated through gender and caste\, become limit conditions on possible autonomy. The issue is not only proscriptions on forms of labor\, but also how workers – females more acutely than males – remain orientated to agrarian caste relations and norms even when they work in the city (and are the enablers of men’s economic trajectories). In short\, we foreground the spatial dialectics of social reproduction: how social reproduction straddles village and city\, and is at once oppressive and nurturing. \nVinay Gidwani is a professor of Geography\, Environment\, and Society at the Institute forGlobal Studies\, University of Minnesota. He studies the interactions of labor processes and ecologies in agrarian and urban settings\, as well as capitalist transformations of these. \nPriti Ramamurthy\, a professor in Gender\, Women and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington\, is an ethnographer\, who has returned to the same villages in the Telangana region of southern India for three decades\, to understand the relationship between the social reproduction of families\, lives and livelihoods and processes of agrarian transformation. \nPresented by the UCSC Feminist Studies Department and the Center for South Asian Studies\, with generous contributions from the UCSC Division of the Humanities\, UCSC Arts Department\, and UCSC Economics Department
