Schuller investigates the intersections between race\, gender\, sexuality\, and the sciences in U.S. culture\, and is particularly interested in ideas about how the body interacts with its environment from the periods both before and after classical genetics\, i.e. the 19th century and the present. Overall\, she examines how science and culture function as systems of knowledge that share methods and sources in common\, even as they rhetorically claim distinct spheres. \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.

DESCRIPTION:“Sons and Daughters of Soil?” \nDr. Lesley Green (Associate Professor of Anthropology\, University of Cape Town and Founding Director: Environmental Humanities South) \nResponding\, as researchers\, to Earth Mastery that includes not only violent machines\, but a violation of evidence and epistemes including the scientific episteme\, requires accumulating and presenting evidence for existences that do not exist — at least\, not in neoliberal discourses.  In trying to research and support specific situations of Black environmental struggle in South Africa\, I find myself standing with that which has no existence in conventional discourses: for a cliff that no longer exists; for molecules that have no existence in local knowledge; for people who have no existence in the mining companies\, for the assassinated Bazooka Radebe\, whose existence is now with the Ancestors\, and with the soil he died to conserve.  Environmental Humanities South had begun by asking a question about how to generate evidence in the geological Anthropocene.  By the time our first three years had ticked by and we had encountered the Capitalocene\, I had learned that a far more fundamental struggle has to be the focus of our work. What exists? Who exists? In what registers and modes? How do we take on the new conquistadors with their machines called Earth Masters\, given that it is their owners’ logic that has come to define who exists and what exists and what can be ground to dust? How can scholarship contribute to the building of a broad-based environmental public? Presented as a dilemma tale\, this talk sketches six moves toward an ecopolitics in South Africa\, with the question: what else could be in this discussion? \n*This event is co-sponsored by the Science and Justice Research Center and the Anthropology Department\, and is open to the public.

Naar\, founder of the Sephardic Studies Program at the University of Washington\, traces three key moments in the development of Sephardic Studies libraries and archives in the 1880s\, 1930s\, and today. Often relying on community members to supply source materials\, these archiving efforts have legitimized and rendered more visible the often-marginalized Sephardic experience. Professor Naar’s work demonstrates how digital humanities initiatives can draw upon methods and aspirations of previous generations while also providing new possibilities and opportunities in the 21st century. \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \nDevin E. Naar is the Isaac Alhadeff Professor in Sephardic Studies\, Associate Professor in the department of History and the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies in the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. As the founder and chair of the Sephardic Studies Program\, Naar oversees the Sephardic Studies Digital Collection\, which has received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. His book\, Jewish Salonica: Between the Ottoman Empire and Modern Greece (Stanford University Press\, 2016)\, won a National Jewish Book Award and the Keeley Prize for best book in Modern Greek Studies. \n  URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/digital-diaspora-new-approaches-sephardi-north-african-jewish-studies/ LOCATION:Humanities 1\, Room 210\, 1156 high st\, Santa cruz\, CA\, 95060\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thi.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Naar_Webbanner_R3.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180503T172000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180503T185000 DTSTAMP:20260427T080944 CREATED:20180410T233634Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180410T233634Z UID:10005482-1525368000-1525373400@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Courtney Kersten DESCRIPTION:Courtney Kersten is the author of Daughter in Retrograde: A Memoir (University of Wisconsin Press 2018).

The period was marked by dramatic increases in the volume of commerce at both the regional and global levels\, radically transforming the societies and environments of these core areas. In fact\, it is arguable that few communities on earth escaped the wide-reaching effects of commercial expansion and integration in this period. African slavery in the Atlantic World facilitated this integration. The slave trade linked four continents as traders carried European exports to Africa\, exchanged them for enslaved people\, and ferried those captives to the Americas. African people and cultures dispersed across the Americas\, and the crops and natural resources that enslaved people harvested in the New World were shipped around the globe. This political\, cultural\, and ecological process laid the foundations for the cultures\, environments\, and economies of the modern world. At the very heart of this transformation were cities\, ports\, and plantations that wreaked vast ecological changes across their respective landscapes. Large swaths of land were cleared for agricultural production\, port cities were established for import and export\, and flora and fauna were transplanted across hemispheres in a process known as the Columbian Exchange. These intentional and unintentional ecological transformations were accompanied by violent social and economic changes. Plantation labor regimes emerged as models for industrial factory work\, contributing directly to rapid industrialization in the Atlantic world. The trans-Atlantic Slave Trade thus stands as a point of origin for the Anthropocene\, the contemporary moment in which environments around the world have been profoundly shaped by human action. This one-day symposium explores of the impacts and legacies of slavery and the slave trade across the landscapes of our rapidly changing world. \nOrganizers\nJustin Dunnavant and J.

That amateur and champion Jewish boxers boxed at the camps to entertain SS is largely unknown\, and the few accounts are contested and contradictory. The “based on a true story” 1989 film Triumph of the Spirit shows Jews boxing fellow Jews to the death; Klieger derided the film as lies. It compelled me to investigate the complications and consequences of representing and narrativizing this horrific predicament in film. My essay blends interview and film criticism\, and reflects on which Holocaust narratives get preserved\, adapted\, or willfully winnowed away. \nLuLing Osofsky is a PhD student in the History of Art and Visual Culture program. She’s interested in how artists\, filmmakers\, curators\, and political entities represent and narrativize trauma\, destruction and disaster. \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.

Her research concerns the meanings of small words in various languages\, the invisible forces that give complex expressions their meanings\, and sometimes even the nature of meaning itself. \nAs Principal Investigator of the Swedish Research Council project Most and more: Quantity superlatives across languages\, she maintains a part-time position as biträdande lektor at the University of Gothenburg\, in the department of Philosophy\, Linguistics\, and Theory of Science\, where she has worked since 2012. \nShe received a B.A. in Linguistics from Northwestern University in 2002 and a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stanford University in 2009. She became Docent in Linguistics through the University of Gothenburg in December 2013. (“Docent” is the Swedish equivalent of a German “Habilitation”\, a post-Ph.D. qualification\, regardless of what Google Translate might have you believe.) \nAbstract: \nThis paper focuses on languages in which a superlative interpretation is typically indicated merely by a combination of a definiteness marker with a comparative marker\, including French\, Spanish\, Italian\, Romanian\, and Greek (‘DEF+CMP languages). Despite ostensibly using definiteness markers to form the superlative\, superlatives are not always definite-marking in these languages\, and the distribution of definiteness-making varies across languages. Constituently structure appears to vary across languages as well. To account for these patterns of variation\, we identify conflicting pressures that all of the languages in consideration may be subject to\, and suggest that different languages prioritize differently in the resolution of these conflicts. What these languages have in common\, we suggest\, is a mechanism of Definite Null Instantiation for the degree-type standard argument of the comparative. Among the parameters along which languages are proposed to differ is the relative importance of marking uniqueness vs. avoiding determiners with predicates of entities that arrant individuals.
