SUMMARY:Banu Bargu: "Catching a Moving Train: Decolonizing Aleatory Materialism"
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nThis paper analyzes Althusser’s proposal for an aleatory materialism through his engagement with historical materialism\, and particularly with Marx on “primitive accumulation.” It identifies two different legacies of Marx’s reflections on the origins of capitalism and discusses how Althusser attempted to rework Marx to reach a non-teleological conception of history. At the same time\, taking both thinkers to task on their approach to colonialism\, and especially settler colonialism\, the paper moves toward decolonizing the aleatory materialist imaginary. \nBanu Bargu is associate professor of History of Consciousness at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She is a political theorist\, with a focus on modern and contemporary political thought and critical theory. Bargu is the author of Starve and Immolate: The Politics of Human Weapons (Columbia UP\, 2014)\, which received APSA’s First Book Prize given by the Foundations of Political Theory section and was named an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice. She is the editor of Turkey’s Necropolitical Laboratory: Democracy\, Violence\, and Resistance (Edinburgh UP\, forthcoming in 2019) and co-editor of Feminism\, Capitalism\, and Critique (Palgrave\, 2017). Her next book\, Friends of the Earth: Althusser and the Critique of Teleological Reason\, is forthcoming from Columbia University Press in 2020. \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:Deirdre de la Cruz: "Psychic Surgery and Other Philippine Phenomena of the Global Occult"
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nIn the variegated landscape of the Filipino paranormal\, one phenomenon garnered worldwide attention in the last quarter of the twentieth century: psychic surgery. A form of spiritual healing in which the practitioner\, or espiritista\, usually male\, operates on the body of the patient without anaesthesia and using only his hands\, psychic surgery achieved particular renown in the United States in the 1980s when celebrity practitioners of New Age spirituality like Shirley MacLaine spoke publicly about their experience with Filipino psychic surgeons. This talk first provides a broad historical outline of the esoteric movements in the twentieth-century Philippines that culminated in the convergence of New Age spirituality and Filipino Spiritism seen in psychic surgery\, paying particular attention to the axial shift from Espiritismo (the science of communication with the dead codified by French educator Allan Kardec and introduced to the Philippines at the turn of the twentieth century)\, to transpacific New Age movements. It then digs deep into the spectacle of healing that drew thousands of patients from around the world at a time when the Philippines was in the sway of the greatest cheat of all\, Ferdinand Marcos.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Brenda Shaughnessy with Ellen Bass
DESCRIPTION:Brenda Shaughnessy earned a BA from the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, and an MFA from Columbia University. She is the author of Interior with Sudden Joy (1999)\, Human Dark with Sugar (2008)\, winner of the James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets\, Our Andromeda(2012)\, So Much Synth (2016)\, and The Octopus Museum (2019). Her work has appeared in the Yale Review\, the Boston Review\, McSweeney’s\, and Best American Poetry\, among other places. Shaughnessy’s work is known for its ability to twin opposites: her poems are both playful and erotic\, lyrical and funny\, formal and strange. Reviewing Human Dark with Sugar\, poet Cate Peebles noted that “Shaughnessy draws attention to the contradiction of being made up of so many parts while appearing to be one single body.” In the New Yorker\, Hilton Als said of her book\, Our Andromeda: “it further establishes Shaughnessy’s particular genius\, which is utterly poetic\, but essayistic in scope\, encompassing ideas about astronomy\, illness\, bodies\, the family\, ‘normalcy\,’ home.” Shaughnessy has received numerous honors and awards for her work\, including fellowships from the Radcliffe Institute\, where she was a Bunting Fellow\, the Japan/U.S. Friendship Commission\, and the Howard Foundation of Brown University. She has taught at universities including Columbia\, the New School\, Princeton\, and New York University. Shaughnessy is currently an associate professor of English at Rutgers University-Newark. \nPoet and teacher Ellen Bass grew up in New Jersey. She earned an MA in creative writing from Boston University\, where she studied with Anne Sexton. Bass’s style is direct; she has noted\, “I work to speak in a voice that is meaningful communication. Poetry is the most intimate of all writing. I want to speak from me to myself and then from me to you.” Bass’s collections of poetry include Mules of Love (2002)\, which won the Lambda Literary Award; The Human Line (2007)\, named a Notable Book by the San Francisco Chronicle; and Like a Beggar (2014). She helped edit the feminist poetry anthology No More Masks! An Anthology of Poems by Women (1973). \nBass has also written works of nonfiction\, including\, with Laura Davis\, The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse (1988) and Beginning to Heal: A First Book for Men and Women Who Were Sexually Abused as Children (2003\, revised edition 2008). With Kate Kaufman\, she wrote Free Your Mind: The Book for Gay\, Lesbian\, and Bisexual Youth—and Their Allies (1996). Bass’s honors and awards include a Pushcart Prize\, a Pablo Neruda Prize\, a Larry Levis Reading Prize\, and a New Letters Literary Prize. She is a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets\, and she teaches in the MFA program at Pacific University. Bass lives in Santa Cruz\, California. \nCo-sponsors: The Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, The Morton Marcus Memorial Poetry Reading\, The Laurie Sain Creative Writing Endowment\, Siegfried B. and Elizabeth Mignon Puknat Literary Studies Endowment\, The Bay Tree Bookstore\, The Humanities Institute\, The American Indian Resource Center\, The Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center\, and the African American Resource and Cultural Center.

SUMMARY:Antisemitism and the Internet: Old Hatred and New
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos by Paul Schraub: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nAs Ian Bogost noted in The Atlantic this week\, recent events have shown that internet technologies facilitate the rapid spread of forms of bigotry and hatred\, and the planning of violent terror attacks. \nThis year’s UC Santa Cruz Night at the Museum seeks to explore the relationship between these technologies and antisemitism\, asking: Is there something new about antisemitism today or is it just a continuation of old images and fears? How do social media platforms create environments for the viral spread of global antisemitism? \nJoin Nathaniel Deutsch and Rachel Deblinger\, co-directors of the Digital Jewish Studies Initiative at UC Santa Cruz\, to discuss these questions and explore how scholars of antisemitism can work closely with members of the tech community to fight against this and related forms of hatred toward others. \n\nRegistration Required \nDoors open at 6:30pm. Program begins at 7:00pm. \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact the THI at thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274 by May 6\, 2019. \nEvent info: \n\nRegistration is required for entrance into this event.\nDoors open at 6:30pm.
