SUMMARY:Neel Ahuja: "Reversible Human: Rectal Feeding\, Gut Plasticity\, and Racial Control in US Carceral Warfare"
DESCRIPTION:Neel Ahuja’s research explores the relationship of the body to forms of imperial warfare and security. Focusing on the association of rectal feeding\, used as a form of medical rape in CIA prisons\, and bodily plasticity\, the presentation argues that the terrorist body is not only a useful discursive figure in the current wars\, but also an experimental material that can be used to modulate time\, sensation\, and resistance toward forms of racial control. \nNeel Ahuja teaches in the interdisciplinary humanities programs at UC Santa Cruz. \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \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:Daniel Lee: "A Sleepy English Village and a North African Jew: An Unlikely Story of French Resistance during World War Two"
DESCRIPTION:The story of the Free French who rallied to Charles de Gaulle in London following the fall of France in June 1940 is well-known. But until now\, historians have ignored the experiences of men and women from France and the French Empire who were not sympathetic to De Gaulle and the Free French\, but who nonetheless fought in Britain for the allied cause. In the same vein\, existing scholarship has not explored how North African Jews\, persecuted by Vichy antisemitic laws\, sought to re-integrate into the new structures that emerged following the allied liberation of North Africa in November 1942. This talk will re-examine these dual phenomena through the unlikely lens of the village of Elvington in Yorkshire and the diary of a North African Jewish airman stationed there\, whose story reveals a new Sephardi perspective on World War Two. \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nDaniel Lee is a Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Sheffield. Before joining Sheffield in 2015\, Lee was a British Academy postdoctoral fellow at Brasenose College\, Oxford. His first book\, Pétain’s Jewish Children: French Jewish Youth and the Vichy Regime\, 1940–1942 was published with Oxford University Press in 2014. He has held fellowships at the Institute of Historical Research\, the European University Institute\, Yad Vashem and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. As a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Thinker\, Lee is a regular broadcaster on radio.

SUMMARY:Adam Ussishkin: "Roots\, or consonants? On the early role of morphology in lexical access"
DESCRIPTION:Words consist of a phoneme or letter sequence that maps onto meaning. Most prominent theories of both auditory and visual word recognition portray the recognition process as a connection between these units and a semantic level. However\, there is a growing body of evidence in the priming literature suggesting that there is an additional\, morphological level that mediates the recognition process. In morphologically linear languages like English\, however\, morphemes and letter or sound sequences are co-extensive\, so the source of priming effects between related words could be due to simple phonological overlap as opposed to morphological overlap. In Semitic languages\, though\, the morphological structure of words reduces this confound\, since morphemes are interdigitated in a non-linear fashion. Semitic words are typically composed of a discontiguous root (made up of three consonants) embedded in a word pattern specifying the vowels and the ordering between consonants and vowels. Active-passive pairs in Maltese illustrate this relationship (the root is underlined); e.g.\, fetaħ ‘open’-miftuħ ‘opened’. In this talk\, I report on a series of experiments on the Semitic language Maltese investigating the extent to which root morphemes facilitate visual and auditory word recognition\, and to what extent potential priming effects are independent of the phonological overlap typically inherent in morphological relationships. These experiments make use of the visual masked (Forster and Davis\, 1984) and auditory masked (Kouider and Dupoux\, 2005) priming techniques. The results of the experiments show that not only do roots facilitate visual and auditory word recognition in Maltese\, but that these morphological effects are independent of phonological overlap effects. \nAdam Ussishkin is associate professor in the Department of Linguistics\, with appointments in the UA Cognitive Science program\, the UA Second Language Acquisition and Teaching program\, the Department of Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, The Arizona Center for Judaic Studies\, and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. His research focuses on the lexicon\, and is informed by psycholinguistic experimentation\, as well as formal and laboratory phonology and morphology. Much of the research he conducts centers on Semitic languages\, especially Maltese and Modern Hebrew. He also works on corpus creation and evaluation.
