SUMMARY:Danny Snelson: "The Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats"
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nThe Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats\nDanny Snelson (UCLA\, English) \nAs you read these lines\, the Utah Data Center continues its process of deciphering untold exabytes of information collected by the NSA. This enterprise\, like certain strands in the digital humanities and the corporate world alike\, stakes its hopes for meaningful interpretation of the present on the parsing of tremendous amounts of data. Directly responding to these currents\, I turn to the little database as an integral model for understanding our place in a rapidly changing information environment. Ranging from a private collection of MP3s hosted on your personal computer to a collection of poetry readings on a university-hosted website like PennSound\, a little database is at once too large to “read” in a traditional way and\, at the same time\, small enough to be absolutely ordinary. Like the little magazines of the historical avant-gardes\, the little database presents a dynamic forum for investigating the situation of politics\, aesthetics\, and meaning in a time of extensive technological change. In this presentation\, I discuss a series of influential sites presenting avant-garde art and letters online\, including Eclipse\, PennSound\, and UbuWeb. Tracing the transformative role of media formats\, I examine an unlikely and contingent poetics that emerges through the use and reuse of historical works across the formats and platforms of the present.

SUMMARY:Tyler Stovall: "White Freedom: The Racial History of an Idea"
DESCRIPTION:Aptos Community Reads presents: \nWhite Freedom: The Racial History of an Idea \nPresented by: Tyler Stovall\, Dean of Humanities\, University of California\, Santa Cruz \nThe relationship between freedom and race has been one of the key themes of modern society and politics in the Western world. The enduring presence of racism in the history of America\, a nation built both upon ideas of liberty and upon African slavery\, Indian genocide\, and systematic racial discrimination\, has provided the most dramatic (but not the only) example of this complex relationship. In this talk\, Dean of the Humanities Division and French historian\, Tyler Stovall\, will explore the ways in which freedom and race are not just enemies but also allies whose histories cannot be understood separately. Part of the Humanities Institute’s Freedom and Race series. \nMarch 6\, 2018 @ 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 6) \n  \n\nThe Aptos Community Reads program is designed to bring members of the Santa Cruz County community together around one book. This year the winning book is: \nBorn a Crime\nStories from a South African Childhood\n by Trevor Noah \n\n \n#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\n WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE for AMERICAN HUMOR \nThis memoir depicts Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show. Born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother his birth was an offence punishable by five years in prison. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. \n  \nFrom late January through early March 2018 the selected book\, and themes in the book\, will be highlighted in a series of special events:  Films  •  Art Exhibits  •  Discussion Groups  •  Trivia Nights •  Guest Speakers  •   Happy Hours •  Music •  Story Times • and more. \nWe encourage all readers to get involved! \nGifts of $50 or more\, received by March 1\, 2018\, will entitle you to a free copy of the winning book! \nDonate online.

SUMMARY:Ben Breen: "Unknown Pleasures: Intoxication and Globalization in the Eighteenth Century"
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \n  \nBenjamin Breen’s current project is Age of Intoxication: The Origins of the Global Drug Trade\, which examines the trade in medicinal drugs\, poisons\, and intoxicants in the Portuguese and British empires\, circa 1640 to 1800. The book argues that the formation of ‘drugs’ as an epistemological\, legal\, and commercial category grew out of early modern colonialism. \nBen Breen is an Assistant Professor of History 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. \n

SUMMARY:Friday Forum: Kiki Loveday
DESCRIPTION:What You Love: The Library at Alexandria\, Quotation\, and Survival \nThe figure of Sappho is paradigmatic of the queer-feminist archive: she is the founding figure of female artistic genius and sexual deviance in Western Civilization\, yet neither her work nor her story has survived. Between 1896 and 1931 over twenty cinematic versions of Sappho were produce for the screen\, making it one of the most ubiquitous texts of the silent film era. Yet this once wildly popular and frequently re-made text has been all but erased from cinema history. How might we reimagine the parameters of cinema and media history and theory by reimagining and remaking the parameters of the archive? Drawing examples from What You Love\, an archive of contemporary queer feelings produced in residency at The Huntington Library in Los Angeles\, this presentation will rethink the history of cinema and sexuality\, questioning contemporary conceptions of romantic love\, the loss of queer female voices from the historical imagination\, and the parameters of the archive. \nKiki Loveday is a PhD student in Film and Digital Media. She is an experimental filmmaker obsessed with deconstructing (and reconstructing) cinematic conventions: rethinking genre\, mixing mediums\, and practicing alternative production paradigms. Much of her work is concerned with isolation\, people’s sometimes silly and heartbreaking inability to fit-in\, connect with each other\, or figure out how to live in a culture they didn’t create. \nFriday Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. Friday Forum is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments: HAVC\, Literature\, and History of Consciousness.
