SUMMARY:Kevin Dawson:  “History Below the Waterline - Enslaved Salvage Divers Harvesting Seaports’ Hinter-Seas\, c.1540-1840”
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Dawson’s scholarship examines how enslaved Africans carried swimming\, surfing\, canoe-making\, and canoeing skills to the Americas where they informed slave culture and were exploited by slaveholders. “History Below the Waterline” considers how enslaved Africans employed as salvage divers transformed shipwrecks\, especially sunken Spanish treasure ships\, into hinter-seas of economic production. Scholars typically situate seaports between hinterlands and overseas markets\, assuming economies pivoted around rural production. This talk shifts our intellectual focus seaward to consider how enslaved aquanauts’ African-based expertise enabled them to harvest hinter-seas to produce capital that helped finance terrestrial production throughout the English Empire. \nKevin Dawson grew up surfing\, swimming\, and freediving in south Los Angeles County\, all of which profoundly informed his scholarship. He received a BA from California State University\, Fullerton and was awarded his PhD from the University of South Carolina in 2005\, where his advisor was Dan Littlefield. Dawson’s scholarship and teaching focus on the African diaspora and Atlantic History from roughly 1444\, when the Portuguese first sailed into Sub-Saharan Africa to 1888\, when Brazil became the last country in the New World to abolish slavery. \nHe has conducted research throughout the continental US\, Hawai‘i\, the Caribbean\, and West Africa and has published articles in the Journal of American History and Journal of Social History\, as well as several chapters in edited volumes. His book Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the Africa Diaspora was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2018. \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:Rachel Gross\, The Jewish Deli Revival: Buying and Selling American Jewish Nostalgia
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, there has been a nostalgic resurgence of interest in the Jewish deli menu. Restaurateurs and purveyors of Jewish food are deliberately making American Jewish food fit for the twenty-first century\, emphasizing sustainability\, local produce\, and a nostalgic longing for family and communal histories. By selling and consuming a revitalized deli cuisine\, American Jews express their longing for authentic Jewish pasts\, build community in the present\, and pass on their values to future generations. \n \n  \n  \nProf. Rachel B. Gross is the John and Marcia Goldman Professor of American Jewish Studies in the Department of Jewish Studies at San Francisco State University. She is currently working on a book entitled Feeling Jewish: Nostalgia and American Jewish Religion. She received her PhD from Princeton University.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquia: Gabriella Caballero
DESCRIPTION:Gabriella Caballero\, UC San Diego: The Interaction Between Lexical and Grammatical Tone in Choguita Rarámuri (Tarahumara)* \nThe cross-linguistic study of tone has largely focused on its lexical phonological properties\, its phonetic implementation and interaction with other prosodic phenomena\, but the morphological role of tone is still under-documented: What kind of morphological information may tone convey across languages? And what mechanisms regulate the outcome when there are lexical and grammatical tones in conflict? \nThis talk addresses these questions through the lens of Choguita Rarámuri (CR; Uto-Aztecan)\, a prosodically complex language of northern Mexico. \n  \nCR has three lexical tones exclusively realized in stressed syllables. Stress-accent is morphologically\nconditioned and tonal patterns are partially predictable from stress. Yet there is evidence for grammatical tone and tonal classes independent of stress. We argue that the full range of grammatical tone patterns in CR follows from an analysis that incorporates tonal underspecification and construction-specific tonal patterns as output-oriented schemas. This analysis captures several properties of this system\, including: (i) arbitrary relationship between tone patterns of related forms\, (ii) heterogeneous nature of morphosyntactic classes expressed by tone melodies\, and (iii) overwriting/avoidance of lexical tone by grammatical tone. We contrast this analysis with an alternative morphemic analysis that has been proposed in the literature (Spahr 2016)\, and argue that a construction-based analysis makes the correct empirical predictions. \n* Work in collaboration with Austin German (UCSD/UT Austin) \n \n \nMore info at: https://linguistics.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia/index.html
