SUMMARY:An Evening with Madeleine Albright
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz presents an evening with Madeleine Albright\, the United States’ first female Secretary of State\, who will speak about her book\, Fascism: A Warning\, a personal and urgent examination of fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today’s world. This ticketed event will take place at theKaiser Permanente Arena and is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz and Temple Beth El. \nOf all the unanswered questions of our time\, declared George Orwell in 1944\, perhaps the most important is\, What is fascism? Madeleine Albright has an answer: not as an explanation of the past\, but as a warning for the present. As she shows with insight\, humor\, and personal storytelling\, fascism not only endured through the twentieth century but now presents a more virulent threat to peace and justice than at any time since the end of World War II. \nWritten by someone who has not only studied history but helped to shape it\, this call to arms teaches us the lessons we must understand and the questions we must answer if we are to save ourselves from repeating the tragic errors of the past. \nMadeleine Albright served as America’s sixty-fourth Secretary of State from 1997 to 2001. Her distinguished career also includes positions at the White House\, on Capitol Hill\, and as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. She is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Madam Secretary\, The Mighty and the Almighty\, Memo to the President\, and Read My Pins. \nEvent Photos by Shmuel Thaler: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nTickets are $23.00 and include 1 general admission ticket to the event and 1 pre-signed paperback copy of Fascism: A Warning. (The book is $17.99 and publishes on January 29.) All books will be distributed at the venue. \nPlease note that Madeleine Albright will not be doing a signing at the event. \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Desmond Jagmohan: “Candor and Courage: Ida B. Wells and Fearless Speech”
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \n“Candor and Courage: Ida B. Wells and Fearless Speech” \nThis paper explicates Ida B. Wells’s argument that journalists and leaders have a moral obligation to speak fearlessly. To do so\, I unearth the normative relationship between candor\, courage\, and duty underlying Wells’s anti-lynching editorials and reporting during the Progressive Era. First\, I recount Wells’s argument that “yellow” and impartial journalism are\, in different ways\, responsible for the precipitous rise in the lynching of African Americans at the turn of the century. Yellow journalism uses sensationalism to fuel whites’ fear and anxiety and\, at times\, goes so far as to coordinate lynchings. The more fact-driven and impartial journalism of the New York Times does no such thing. But it substitutes cold facts for moral courage and thus shirks an important social responsibility. Second\, and drawing on work by Michel Foucault\, I contend that her willingness to risk death to expose the true causes of lynching to help others see their way toward justice and away from injustice exemplifies fearless speech\, or what the ancients called parrhesia. Third\, I question whether intrepid speech can be a moral obligation for journalists and leaders living under extreme persecution. \n  \nDesmond Jagmohan is an Assistant Professor in the Politics Department at Princeton University. He researches and teaches history of political theory\, and he works primarily in the areas of American and African American political thought. He also has interests in slavery and modern political thought and historical methods. At the moment\, he is completing his first book\, which is titled Dark Virtues: Booker T. Washington’s Tragic Realism. Based on several years of archival research\, the book recovers an unseen Booker T. Washington. It reconstructs his political ethics\, including his moral defense of equivocation\, concealment\, and deception as political virtues under conditions of extremity. His second project takes up Harriet Jacobs’s slave narrative to look at the broader philosophical relationship between property\, personhood\, and moral agency in the context of nineteenth-century American slavery. His work has been published in Perspectives on Politics\, Politics\, Groups\, and Identities\, and Contemporary Political Theory. \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.  \n  \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Dickens and the Disaster of Marriage
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of Charles Dickens’s 207th birthday\, please join us a festive evening of birthday cake\, discussion about Victorian marriage with Dickens Project Co-Director Renee Fox\, and a film screening. \nCharles Dickens is known for his marriage plots: no matter what kinds of twists and turns threaten the path of true love\, in the end David Copperfield gets his Agnes\, Esther Summerson gets her Woodcourt\, and John Harmon gets his Bella. But was marriage really a happy ending for the women in Dickens’s novels? What happened after the novels ended and the romantic triumph of successfully surviving a 900-page plot began to fade? This talk will trace the pitfalls of getting married in Victorian Britain—the financial threats to women\, the uneven standards for husbands and wives\, the legal ways marriage compromised individual identity—and will look at how a few famously salacious marital scandals (including Dickens’s own!) succeeded in transforming both law and literature in the 19th century. \nThe Invisible Woman (2013) is a biopic about eighteen-year-old actress Ellen Ternan and her love affair with Charles Dickens. \nRenée Fox is Co-Director of The Dickens Project and an assistant professor in the Literature department at UC Santa Cruz\, where she teaches classes on Victorian literature and culture\, Irish literature\, gothic fiction\, and Harry Potter. She is currently writing a book about reanimated bodies in 19th-century British and Irish literature—like mummies\, vampires\, and talking corpses—and is co-editing a Routledge Handbook of Irish Studies.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Allen: "Sanctuary and Medieval Kings"
DESCRIPTION:“Sanctuary and Medieval Kings” – Elizabeth Allen  \nAmerican nationalist discourse casts sanctuary as “illegal”\, but actually the practice always bears a relation to the law: sanctuary cities\, universities\, and churches call law to account. Sanctuary has a long legal history. In the Middle Ages\, felons could avoid death by running to the church\, and kings bolstered their sacral power by protecting them. At the same time\, those who seek sanctuary exerted an influence upon their kings “from below\,” calling upon them to live up to the role of merciful monarch. Examining medieval chronicles of a fallen justiciar and an infamous breach of sanctuary\, this talk will offer a provocation to contemporary ideas about both kingship itself and  sanctuary as a ‘weak’ form of social protest. \n“A Constellation of Moments: Walter Benjamin on the Middle Ages\, Sanctuary\, and the Current Emergency” – James R Martel  \nAlso featuring:\nStephen David Engel\nVeronika Zablotsky \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \nCo-Sponsored by the History of Consciousness Department
