SUMMARY:Book Talk: Marlon James - Black Leopard\, Red Wolf
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to partner with Bookshop Santa Cruz to welcome award-winning author Marlon James for a reading and signing of his highly-anticipated novel\, Black Leopard\, Red Wolf\, which is already being touted as a book that “will come to be seen as a classic of our times.” (NPR) \n“A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made.” —Neil Gaiman \nThe epic novel\, an African Game of Thrones\, from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings. \nIn the stunning first novel in Marlon James’s Dark Star trilogy\, myth\, fantasy\, and history come together to explore what happens when a mercenary is hired to find a missing child. Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: “He has a nose\,” people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier\, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge\, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own\, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard. \nAs Tracker follows the boy’s scent—from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers—he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive\, Tracker starts to wonder: Who\, really\, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth\, and who is lying? \nDrawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination\, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that’s come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that’s also an ambitious\, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters\, Black Leopard\, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth\, the limits of power\, and our need to understand them both. \nThis free event will take place in Bookshop Santa Cruz. Chairs for open seating are usually set up about an hour before the event begins. If you have ADA accommodation requests for this event\, please e-mail info@bookshopsantacruz.com by February 16th. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \nMarlon James is the author of the New York Times bestseller A Brief History of Seven Killings\, The Book of Night Women\, and John Crow’s Devil. A Brief History of Seven Killings won the Man Booker Prize\, the American Book Award\, and the Anisfield-Wolf Award for Fiction\, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.The Book of Night Women won the Minnesota Book Award and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award\, as well as the NAACP Image Award. A professor at Macalester College in St. Paul\, James divides his time between Minnesota and New York. \n“Black Leopard\, Red Wolf is the kind of novel I never realized I was missing until I read it. A dangerous\, hallucinatory\, ancient Africa\, which becomes a fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made\, with language as powerful as Angela Carter’s. It’s as deep and crafty as Gene Wolfe\, bloodier than Robert E. Howard\, and all Marlon James. It’s something very new that feels old\, in the best way. I cannot wait for the next installment.” —Neil Gaiman \n“This book begins like a fever dream and merges into world upon world of deadly fairy tales rich with political magic. Black Leopard\, Red Wolf is a fabulous cascade of storytelling. Sink right in. I guarantee you will be swept downstream.” —Louise Erdrich \n“James’ sensual\, beautifully rendered prose and sweeping\, precisely detailed narrative cast their own transfixing spell upon the reader. He not only brings a fresh multicultural perspective to a grand fantasy subgenre\, but also broadens the genre’s psychological and metaphysical possibilities. If this first volume is any indication\, James’ trilogy could become one of the most talked-about and influential adventure epics since George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire was transformed into Game of Thrones.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) \n“[A] tour de force.” —The Wall Street Journal \n“Sweeping\, mythic\, over-the-top\, colossal\, and dizzingly complex.” —The New York Times \n“Awe-inspiring.” —Entertainment Weekly \n“Thrilling\, ambitious…both intense and epic.” —Los Angeles Times”An astonishing portrait of the politics of everyday life…Just as he is sharply aware of the nuances of their voices\, James has the confidence not to deny his characters their humanity by turning them into moral exemplars\, nor paper over the infected wounds that score across the country by suggesting that the loveliness of some of its territory makes up for the savage effects of poverty.” —The Washington Post

SUMMARY:Jerry Zee: "Continent in Dust: China in Aerosol Phases“
DESCRIPTION:“Continent in Dust: China in Aerosol Phases“ \nJerry Zee is an assistant professor at UCSC’s Anthropology Department. His work considers experiments in politics and environments in China’s meteorological contemporary. \nThis talk offers a political anthropology of strange weather. As Chinese deserts increasingly appear as latent dust storms\, it tracks geo-meteorological phase shifts as they rework contemporary land and air into a substantial continuum. It tracks territorial governance as it shifts into experimental formations that draw into the choreographies of sand\, wind\, and dust that they seek to re-engineer. \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \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:James Loeffler\, “The Right to Be Heard – Jews\, Human Rights\, and Global Democracy"

This talk will also address the challenges and opportunities for minorities and stateless peoples by focusing on Jewish human rights pioneers who saw the Jewish state as an expression of global democracy. Join THI to ask where Human Rights come from\, how Jews are part of the story\, and if Zionism is in conflict with the modern Human Rights movement? \n\n\n\nRSVP appreciated\, seating is first come\, first served. Reception to follow. \n \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274 by February 16th. \nParking and Directions to the UC Santa Cruz Cowell Ranch Hay Barn  \n  \nJames Loeffler is Jay Berkowitz Professor of Jewish History at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Alirio Karina
DESCRIPTION:Between Two Africas: “Nubia in the Ethnographic Imagination” \nThis paper explores the region and anthropologized people\, of Nubia\, examining how they are produced as (inhabiting) a borderland between two Africas- North Africa and Africa “proper.” By studying three museological movements in which the ethnographic appears and vanishes\, together with two literary test animated by ethnographic concerns with representing Nubian people\, Alirio Karina explores how the disavowal of the ethnographic (in all of its racial and cultural senses in Sudan and Egypt is an attempt to narrate of capitalist modernity in terms of ancient lineages\, and against any sense of relation to the rest African continent\, Karina argues that\, in resurfacing the ethnographic\, we may find a resistant frame through which to think Africanity north of the Sahara. \nAlirio Karina is a PhD candidate in the History of Consciousness Department\, with designated emphasis in the Feminist Studies and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies. Alirio’s dissertation examines ethnographic photographs\, objects and text representing British Africa\, exploring how these materials produce ideas of race\, culture and continent that have shaped and may yet transform African political possibility. \nFriday Forum for Graduate Research is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments HAVC\, Literature\, History of Consciousness\, Psychology\, and Education. \n

SUMMARY:Translating America/America Translated Symposium
DESCRIPTION:“Translating America/America Translated” is a two-day faculty-graduate student symposium on new hemispheric geographies and languages in pre-20th-century American literary studies. The symposium is funded by UCHRI and co-sponsoring units at UC Santa Cruz\, UC Irvine\, and UC San Diego. Highlighting translation\, multilinguality and the transnational as indispensable features of literary studies today\, the “Translating America/America Translated” symposium aims to re-situate scholarly and public narratives of American culture by way of multiple languages and various origin-points in space and time. It aims to move forward an important national conversation on the future of the field in its multilingual and multi-geographic dimensions and seeks to build a cohort of early-career comparative Americanist scholars. \nProject Directors: \nSusan Gillman\, Literature\, UC Santa Cruz\nKirsten Gruesz\, Literature\, UC Santa Cruz \n  \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nTranslating America/America Translated: A UC Faculty-Graduate Symposium\nHumanities 1\, Room 210\nFebruary 22\, 2019 @ 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm\nFebruary 23\, 2019 @ 9:00 am – 5:30 pm \nKeynote speakers include six prominent scholars of hemispheric American studies: \nIfeoma Nwankwo (Associate Professor of English and Associate Provost\, Vanderbilt University)\nJesse Alemán (Professor of English and American Studies\, Univ. of New Mexico)\nAnna Brickhouse (Professor of English and Director of American Studies\, Univ. of Virginia)\nMichelle Burnham (Professor of English\, Santa Clara University)\nSara Johnson (Associate Professor of Literature of the Americas\, UC San Diego)\nRodrigo Lazo (Professor of English and Spanish and Director\, Humanities Core Program\, UC Irvine) \nProgram: \nFriday\, February 22: \n11 am-12:30pm PhD+ Writing Workshop on journal publication with Gordon Hutner\, editor of American Literary History (lunch provided) \n1:00-2:30pm \nWelcome: Susan Gillman and Kirsten Silva Gruesz \nKeynote 1: Ifeoma Nwankwo (Vanderbilt University) “Jim Crow Meets Racial Democracy” \n2:30 pm Coffee and cookies (Humanities 1\, Room 202) \n2:45-4:15 pm Graduate Panel #1 – Personal Narratives: Translations\, Republications\, Reprintings \n\nTimothy Fosbury (UCLA English)\, “Crèvecouer’s Bermudian Crisis”\nBrian Flores (UCI English)\, “‘Y nosotros vivimos aquí en la frontera’: Modes of Framing Latina/o Identity in the Autobiographies of José Policarpo Rodriguez and Santiago Tafolla”\nEmily Travis (UCSC Literature)\,“A vida simple: The Complex Afterlives of Alice Dayrell Brant’s Minha vida de menina”\nRESPONDENT: Amanda Smith (UCSC Literature)\n\n 4:30-6:00 pm Keynote 2: Anna Brickhouse (University of Virginia) “Earthquake History in the Americas” \n6:00-8:00 pm Opening reception and dinner at Cowell Provost House \nSaturday\, February 23: \n8:30 am Coffee and muffins (Humanities 1\, Room 202) \n9:00-10:30am Graduate Panel #2 – Coloniality\, Indigeneity\, Power \n\nJenny Forsythe (UCLA Comparative Literature)\, “Ladrones\, vagabundos\, holgazones sin honra ni vergüenza: Inca Garcilaso’s Imperialist Translators Meet the Man in the Canoe”\nCarlos Macías Prieto (UCB Spanish and Portuguese)\, “Domingo Chimalpahin’s Rewriting of Antonio de Morga’s Narrative of Black Conspiracy in 1612”\nAmrah Salomón (UCSD Ethnic Studies)\, “Regeneración and Regeneration: Anti- Colonial Theory Across Borders”\nRESPONDENT: Rodrigo Lazo (UCI English)\n\n10:45 am-12:15 pm Keynote 3: Jesse Alemán (University of New Mexico) “When Cubans Go South: Learning the Language of Late Nineteenth-Century Southern Nationalism” \n12:15-1:30 pm Lunch \n1:30-3:00 pm Graduate Panel #3 – Nineteenth-Century Recoveries: Translating Texts and Places \n\nMargaret McMurtrey (UCSB Religious Studies)\, “Singing Grace\, Embodying Language and Place”\nGabriela Valenzuela (UCLA English)\, “Literary Wanderings: Nineteenth-Century Central American-U.S. Contact Zones and Spatial Imaginings”\nBrandon Wild (UCI English)\, “Cincinnati: ‘El asombro de todos los que viajan la América del Norte’”\nRESPONDENT: Sara Johnson (UCSD Literature)\n\n3:00 pm Coffee and cookies (Humanities 1\, Room 202) \n3:15-4:45 pm Keynote 4: Michelle Burnham (Santa Clara U) “Archival Diving in the Global Pacific: Towards a New American Literary History” \n4:45-5:30pm Closing roundtable\, moderated by Susan Gillman & Kirsten Silva Gruesz \n6:00-8:00 pm Closing reception and dinner at Cowell Provost House \nAbout Translating America/America Translated: \nThis symposium on new hemispheric geographies and languages for American literary studies returns to historical moments that allow a reconsideration of language crossings as geographic alternatives to nation-bound paradigms.
