SUMMARY:Mayanthi Fernando: "SuperNatureCulture: Human/Nonhuman Entanglements Beyond the Secular"
DESCRIPTION:Mayanthi Fernando works on Islam\, secularism\, and the politics of difference in the North Atlantic. Her current project tracks the secular genealogies of the recent posthumanist turn. Reading this scholarship alongside other traditions of nonhuman ontologies\, including Islamic sciences of the unseen\, she asks whether we might rethink “natureculture” as “supernatureculture.” \nMayanthi Fernando is an associate professor of Anthropology at UCSC\, and the director of the Center For Emerging Worlds. Her current project attends to the nexus of sex and religion in the articulation of modern secularity\, analyzing how the secular state’s project of regulating and transforming religious life is interwoven with its project of sexual normalization\, i.e. the production of secular\, sexually “normal” citizens. She is interested in how proper religion and proper sexuality are mutually constituted (often in opposition to each other) by secular rule. \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:Unintelligible: Noise Against Capture
DESCRIPTION:Graduate student conference exploring the potentials of a critical sound studies. \nThis conference seeks to cultivate an interdisciplinary understanding of the field of Sound Studies by taking up the ubiquitous sonic trope of noise\, considering its counter-productive character and how it can be a tactic for critique against the capture of individuals and communities of resistance. We will look at how “Others” are produced by noise\, asking: can we understand these subjects that destabilize normativity to be a kind of noise? Can noise understood as negation (“disruptive\,” “illegible\,” “unintelligible”) still be productive and resistant? How do we slow the impulse to turn noise into a metaphor and highlight its material role in neighborhoods\, institutions\, and culture? \n  \nKeynote (Arpil 20): Jeramy DeCristo\, UC Davis\nJeramy DeCristo is Assistant Professor in American Studies at UC Davis. Their work focuses on the interplay between sound\, race\, gender\, and embodiment\, as well as the ways in which sound and race are continually bound together through forms of mediation. In their most current book project\, Blackness and the Writing of Sound in Modernity\, Jeramy tracks and imagines a legacy of black sonic experimentation\, in artists ranging from Bessie Smith to Roscoe Mitchell\, that emerges out of black music’s refusal and dissemblance of technological modernity’s legacies of embodiment and capture. Their talk is entitled\, “Sounds Like Us”.\n\nPanels and presentations:\n\nApril 20\, 2018 in Humanities 1\, Room 210\nApril 21\, 2018 in the Humanities Lecture Hall \n\nAdditional Events:\n\nApril 20th: Evening concert co-presented by Indexical at Idea Fab Labs Santa Cruz; featuring Happy Valley Band\, Zachary James Watkins\, and Blectum from Blechdom. \nApril 21st: Continental breakfast at the UCSC Arboretum\, and tour of FOREST (for a thousand years)\, co-presented by Institute of the Arts & Sciences.

DESCRIPTION:“Podcasting Pop Culture – Engaging Public Audiences in East Asian History”\nStephanie Montgomery and Melissa Brzycki\nA Special PhD+ Event at the VizWall (DSC\, McHenry Library) \nConsumable anywhere\, podcasts have emerged as an important medium for cultural discussions. Join us for a conversation about East Asia for All\, a public history podcast that provides nuanced discussion and context for English-speaking fans of East Asian popular culture. History graduate students Melissa Brzycki and Stephanie Montgomery created EAFA to reach a wide audience outside academia\, but still allow for in-depth\, “long-form” discussions. They will consider how\, as scholar-educators\, podcasting can help us hone our communication skills and challenge us to think about representing historical narratives in a way that is both informed and accessible. \nSponsored by the Digital Scholarship Commons\, The Humanities Institute\, and the History Department. \nPhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the third year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute. We will meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss: possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grants/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, and much more. \nPlease RSVP that you would like to attend this event.
