SUMMARY:Digital Humanities Meet Up
DESCRIPTION:Join the Digital Humanities campus community for a Fall Quarter Meet Up. This is an opportunity to meet digital scholarship practitioners across campus and connect as we start a new year. The Meet Up is informal: please invite colleagues interested in building a DH portfolio and learning more about digital scholarship. \nZac Zimmer\, Assistant Professor of Literature\, will present a short paper\, “Cryptography\, Subjectivity and Spyware: From PGP Source Code and Internals to Pegasus\,” to kick off a DH-focused conversation related to the 2018 – 2019 THI theme\, Data and Democracy.  \nRead Cyberwar for Sale beforehand and come prepared to discuss the issues \nThis brief intervention will use two examples from the world of secure communications to explore the intersection of global norms of privacy and local conceptions of political subjectivity. \nThe first example is a book published by Philip Zimmermann and MIT Press in 1995. That 900-page tome was a hard copy print out of the source code for his open source implementation of the public-key RSA cryptosystem. In the early 1990s\, Zimmermann was being prosecuted by the US Government for distributing his software. By publishing his source code as a book\, Zimmermann claimed free speech protections\, while resourceful users knew that by scanning the pages they’d be able to compile their own versions of the software. PGP has since gone through several iterations\, yet remains a global standard for email encryption. And yet it is not foolproof. In 2017\, The Citizen Lab reported an exploit used by the Mexican state. “Pegasus\,” produced by the Israeli cyberarms firm the NSO Group\, allowed Mexican authorities to surveil and target Mexican lawyers\, journalists\, activists\, and others. Pegasus uses social engineering and “spear-phising” attacks to compromise communications systems. There is no cryptographic solution to Pegasus. \nThrough tracing the trajectory from PGP to Pegasus\, I pose the following questions: Is there a work-around to surveillance society? Will Big Data recognize any other civil rights framework\, other than “privacy”? Is there a way to “transmediate” cryptographic protocols\, in the spirit of Zimmermann and MIT Press’ collaboration\, in order to protect against exploits like Pegasus? \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Digital Scholarship Commons

SUMMARY:Chris Benner: "A Universal Technology Dividend? - Rethinking price\, value\, work and the commons"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Benner will discuss his current work exploring the idea of a Universal Technology Dividend. He will explore questions related to the common-property characteristics of technology and innovation\, the monopolistic characteristics of information markets\, and the need to rethink how we define work in contemporary labor markets. \nEvent Photos: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nChris Benner is the Dorothy E. Everett Chair in Global Information and Social Entrepreneurship\, and a Professor of Environmental Studies and Sociology at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He currently directs the Everett Program for Technology and Social Change and the Santa Cruz Institute for Social Transformation. His research examines the relationships between technological change\, regional development\, and the structure of economic opportunity\, focusing on regional labor markets and the transformation of work and employment. He has authored or co-authored six books (most recently Equity\, Growth and Community\, 2015\, UC Press) and more that 70 journal articles\, chapters and research reports. He received his Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from the University of California\, Berkeley. \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 Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Samiya Bashir
DESCRIPTION:Samiya Bashir is the author of three books of poetry: Field Theories\, and Gospel\, and Where the Apple Falls. Sometimes she makes poems of dirt. Sometimes zeros and ones. Sometimes variously rendered text. Sometimes light. Her work has been widely published\, performed\, installed\, printed\, screened\, and experienced. Bashir holds a BA from the University of California\, Berkeley\, where she served as Poet Laureate\, and an MFA from the University of Michigan\, where she received two Hopwood Poetry Awards. Bashir lives in Portland\, Oregon where she teaches at Reed College. \n  \nAbout Living Writers\, Fall 2018: “Sentence & Sentience: Forms” \nThis series features seven contemporary poets\, critics\, and artists who each render\, albeit in differing forms and across a diversity of experiences\, the unit of the sentence for powerfully sentient effects. Whether through poetic argument\, the fictive line\, or the scholarly imagination\, each of these authors explore questions of race\, gender\, sexuality\, nature\, and nation in their respective practices and forms. \n*Note: All Readings\, except for the Morton Marcus Reading\, featuring Gary Snyder\, will take place from 5:20-6:55 in the Humanities Lecture Hall on the dates listed below.  The Gary Snyder Morton Marcus Memorial Poetry Reading will be held in the Music Recital Hall on November 15th from 6-8:00 PM.  \n  \nAll events are free and open to the public.
