SUMMARY:Massimiliano Tomba: “Insurgent Universality - An Alternative Legacy of Modernity”
DESCRIPTION:An Alternative Legacy of Modernity” Insurgent Universality offers a new way of thinking political universality that radically differs from the legal universalism of human rights and cosmopolitanism. Assuming a conception of history that is not linear but articulated in a multiverse of historical temporalities\, Insurgent Universality excavates an alternative trajectory of modernity\, which originally bridges European and non-European political experiments. \nMassimiliano Tomba is professor of History of Consciousness Department at University of California\, Santa Cruz. His work aims at reconsidering predominant schemes of interpretation in political theory and universal history in order to open up political trajectories of modernity which constitute the terrain for an alternative canon. His publications include Krise und Kritik bei Bruno Bauer\, Kategorien des Politischen im nachhegelschen Denken\, trans. L. Schröder\, Frankfurt am Main\, Peter Lang\, 2005; La vera politica. Kant e Benjamin: la possibilità della giustizia\, Macerata\, Quodlibet\, 2006; Marx’s Temporalities\, trans. Sara Farris and Peter Thomas\, Leiden\, Brill\, 2013; Attraverso la piccola porta. Quattro studi su Walter Benjamin. Milano\, Mimesis\, 2017. \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 Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Nadine Theiler: "A Unified Semantics for Additive Particles"
DESCRIPTION:English has several additive particles\, which differ in their distribution. One of these is also\, a\ncommon choice to signal additivity in assertions and polar questions\, (1a-b). It has been\nsuggested that this particle can’t appear in a wh-question without triggering a so-called\nshow-master interpretation (Umbach\, 2012)\, in which the speaker already has a certain answer in\nmind when asking the question\, (1c).\n(1) Mary danced all night.\na. John also danced.\nb. Did John also dance?\nc. #Who also danced?\nIn this talk\, I will challenge this generalization based on a previously unnoticed class of\nquestions\, which I call summoning questions. To account for the resulting more differentiated\nempirical picture\, I will generalize Beaver and Clark (2008)’s QUD-based account of additive\nparticles by lifting it to an inquisitive semantics setting (Ciardelli et al.\, 2018). This allows us to\ncapture the contribution of also in declaratives and interrogatives in a unified way\, while still\naccounting for its distributional restrictions.\nAdditive particles are just one example of expressions that can appear with declarative and\ndifferent kinds of interrogative clauses. In the remainder of the talk\, I will briefly walk through\ntwo other examples—clause-embedding verbs like know\, and the German discourse particle\ndenn—to show how the proposed account of additive particles forms part of a larger research\nprogram that aims to develop formally unified accounts of expressions in this family. \n  \nNadine Theiler is a PhD student at the Institute for Logic\, Language and Computation in Amsterdam\, where she is a member of the Inquisitive Semantics group. \nTheiler’s research interests broadly relate to information exchange through linguistic communication\, with a focus on question semantics. She is interested in the nature of questions as semantic objects as well as in the role that questions play in the structuring and interpretation of discourse.

Michael holds a PhD in literature from the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he wrote about English and French Renaissance poetry and taught many classes\, from Shakespeare to intro composition. His academic writing has appeared in publications including Studies in English Literature 1500-1900\, Connotations\, and The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics. \n  \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \n  \n—- \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the third year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research. We meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grants/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more. \nLunch will be served. \nPlease RSVP below: \nLoading…
