SUMMARY:Julie Livingston: “Self-Devouring Growth - A Planetary Parable”
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, like the book from which it is drawn\, calls into question the imperative of economic growth\, tracing the unintended consequences of escalating consumption.  Using a series of linked cases of successful economic growth (water\, roads\, and cattle in Botswana)\, it shows how insatiable growth\, predicated on consumption\, will inevitably overwhelm\, a process Dr. Livingston terms self-devouring growth. \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nJulie Livingston is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis and History at New York University. She is the author of the forthcoming Self-devouring growth: a planetary parable told from Southern Africa (Duke University Press)\, Improvising Medicine: An African Oncology Ward in an Emerging Cancer Epidemic (Duke University Press)\, Debility and the Moral Imagination in Botswana (Indiana University Press)\, and numerous articles and essays and edited volumes and special journal issues. Livingston is the recipient of the Victor Turner Prize for Ethnographic Writing\, the Royal Anthropological Institute’s Wellcome Medal\, and the American Association for the History of Medicine’s William Welch Medal. In 2013 she was named a MacArthur fellow. \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:Isa Blumi - "The Ottoman Refugee and Euro-American Colonial Terror: A Global Story"
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Ottoman Refugee and Euro-American Colonial Terror: A Global Story”\n\n\nAlthough the majority of Ottoman refugees in the 1878-1912 period remained internally displaced\, significant numbers found their way to new continents\, themselves in the throes of colonialist expansion. These pioneers’ stories require looking into the larger context of modern exploitation economies under which these Ottomans also suffered (and subsequently resisted in various ways). From recent studies we learn that the demand for cheap labor that absorbed such waves of Ottomans came from expanding labor-intensive plantation and mining operations as well as infrastructure development\, long the investment of choice for private capital. As much as we must tell the violent resistance to the exploitative demands of capital\, however\, Isa Blumi identifies thousands of Ottoman refugees whose violent experiences with Euro-American imperialism intersected in Southeast Asia\, Eastern Africa\, and the Americas. In several cases\, he will chart how colonialist-projects harnessed the capacity of Ottoman refugees (victims of expansionist European violence in their homelands) to subjugate indigenous peoples of what is today known as Southern Philippines\, the Swahili hinterland\, and the borderlands of an expanding US and Mexico/Comanche. In other words\, Euro-American imperialism took its ‘destined’ genocidal turn by often calling on various Ottoman subjects to make themselves useful in ways contradictory to their normative place in world history. \nIsa Blumi is Associate Professor in the Department of Asian\, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies at Stockholm University. \nThis event is sponsored by the newly revitalized Center for World History\, which fosters a rich set of lectures\, conferences\, pedagogical workshops\, and scholarly conversations. This programming enhances the intellectual life of faculty and students at UCSC across numerous disciplines interested in the human past. All Center for World History events are open to all members of the UCSC community and to the general public. More at: https://cwh.ucsc.edu/
