SUMMARY:Nidhi Mahajan: "Moorings: Trade Networks and States in the Western Indian Ocean"
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nSailing vessels or dhows have long connected different parts of the western Indian Ocean\, transporting goods\, and people across South Asia\, the Middle East and East Africa. These dhows now function as an economy of arbitrage\, servicing minor ports in times of conflict. This talk focuses on the contemporary dhow trade\, centered in port cities such as Dubai and Sharjah that have “free trade” policies. I argue that these notions of free trade are entangled with war\, conflict\, and broader geopolitical concerns across the Indian Ocean region. \nNidhi Mahajan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at UCSC and a principal faculty in the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Program. Her works examines how vernacular Indian Ocean trade networks articulate with regional and global circuits of capital. \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:Paolo Gerbaudo\, The Digital Party: Political Organisation and Online Democracy
DESCRIPTION:  \nPaolo Gerbaudo is the Director of the Centre for Digital Culture at King’s College\, London. He is the author of Tweets and the Streets: Social Media and Contemporary Activism (2012)\, The Mask and the Flag: Citizenism and Global Protest (2017)\, and Digital Parties: Political Organization and Online Democracy (2018).\nFrom the movements behind Bernie Sanders in the US and Jeremy Corbyn in UK\, to the Pirate Parties in Northern Europe to Podemos in Spain and the 5-Star Movement in Italy\, to Jean-Luc Melenchon’s presidential bid in France\, the last decade has witnessed the rise of a new blueprint for political organization: the ‘digital party’. These new political formations tap into the potential of social media\, and use online participatory platforms to include the rank-and-file. Drawing on interviews with key political leaders and digital organizers\, Gerbaudo argues that with new structures come worrying changes in political forms\, such as the growth of power cliques and the need for centralized\, charismatic leaders\, the erosion of intermediary party layers and the loss of accountability. However\, there is also a growth of strong unity at the centre and extreme flexibility at the margins\, creating a promising template which could counter the social polarization created by the Great Recession and the failures of liberal democracy. \nPart of the THI Data and Democracy Initiative. Lecture co-sponsored by the Politics Department.

SUMMARY:The Carl Mark Deppe Memorial Lecture: Alex Purves
DESCRIPTION:Carl Deppe was a charismatic young man and a promising student. In 1985 he was a sophomore at UCSC\, studying Greek and ancient philosophy. While returning from a rock concert\, he was killed by a drunk driver on Highway 17. His parents\, George and Patricia Deppe\, along with his friends\, established this annual lecture series in his memory as a tribute to his interest in classical antiquity. Each spring a distinguished scholar is invited to give the Carl Mark Deppe lecture. This year’s lecuture will be given by Professor Alex Purves\, UCLA \nIt is customary to begin each annual lecture by reading the essay Carl wrote when he applied for admission to the University of California: you can see that essay here.

SUMMARY:SPOT Research Cluster Workshop
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nSPOT (Syntax-Prosody in Optimality Theory) is part of an NSF-funded research project aiming to create a computational platform that generates prosodic structure candidate sets from syntactic (grammatical) structure in different languages. SPOT aims to deepen our understanding of the relationship between grammatical structures on the one hand\, and how sentences are pronounced on the other\, in a typologically diverse array of natural languages. Following the very successful SPOT 1 workshop on Saturday\, Nov. 18\, 2017\, which led to successful funding from the NSF in 2018\, we will hold a THI-sponsored SPOT 2 workshop on Saturday\, May 4\, 2019. Besides presenting the developments of the program since SPOT 1\, the SPOT 2 workshop will also feature research talks on the Syntax-Prosody interface and Optimality Theory by invited speakers from the East Coast and Europe\, as well as Bay Area researchers. \nSPOT 2 Program: \n9:30am – 10:00am Pre-workshop coffee and bagels \n10:00am -12:00pm “SPOT: theory and analyses”\nJenny Bellik¹\, Gorka Elordieta²\, Junko Ito¹\, Nick Kalivoda¹\, Armin Mester¹\n (¹UC Santa Cruz\, ²University of the Basque Country)\nDiscussant: Alan Prince (Rutgers University) \n12:00pm -1:00pm Lunch (catered) \n1:00pm – 2:00pm “Nested Interacting Stress Window Systems”\nNaz Merchant (Eckerd College)\nDiscussant: Arto Anttila (Stanford University) \n2:00pm – 3:00pm “Recursive phonological phrasing in Italian”\nNick Van Handel (UC Santa Cruz)\nDiscussant: Gorka Elordieta (University of the Basque Country) \n3:00pm -3:30pm Coffee Break \n3:30pm – 4:30pm “Incorporation in Crow as phonological reduction”\nChris Golston\, CSUFresno\n (with John Boyle\, CSUFresno\, & Lewis Gebhard\, NEIU)\nDiscussant: Ryan Bennett (UC Santa Cruz) \n4:30pm – 5:30pm“Big accent distribution in Stockholm Swedish”\nSara Myrberg (Lund University\, Sweden)\nDiscussant: Nick Kalivoda (UC Santa Cruz) \n5:30pm-7:30pm Dinner at the Cowell Provost House
