SUMMARY:Eli Yassif: Before Seinfeld - The Early Modern Roots of Jewish Humor
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for Eli Yassif’s lecture “Before Seinfeld – The Early Modern Roots of Jewish Humor” \nJewish humor has been described as one of the most outstanding characteristics of the Jewish People\, and its history dates back to Biblical times. But is there really “Jewish Humor”\, and if so\, what are its major characteristics? This talk will explore the earliest collections of Jewish jokes\, from early in the 19th century\, and strive to understand\, by analyzing some exemplary jokes\, the place and impact Jewish humor has had in and on Early Modern history and culture. \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nEli Yassif is the Berger Professor of Jewish Folk-Culture in the School of Jewish Studies at Tel-Aviv University. He studies the history of Jewish folklore and the Hebrew Literature of the Middle Ages\, and published over 100 studies – books and scholarly articles in these fields. \nHis book: The Hebrew Folktale: History\, Genre\, Meaning was published in 1999 by Indiana University Press\, and was elected as the best Jewish scholarly book for that year. It is used as the basic textbook in Israel and in the US in teaching this field. \nHis latest book was published just this year: The Legend of Safed: Life and Fantasy in the City of Kabbalah (Wayne State University Press\, 2019). \nProf. Yassif served as a visiting professor at UCLA and UC Berkeley\, Oxford University\, University of Michigan\, University of Chicago\, Yale University and Stanford. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Cultural Studies Colloquium: Anjali Arondekar
DESCRIPTION:“What More Remains: Sexuality\, Slavery\, Historiography” \nThis talk engages a ‘small’ history of sexuality and slavery in Portuguese India. At stake are three questions: How do we call attention to the displacement of slave pasts within histories of sexuality that are themselves routinely displaced?  How do we locate those displacements in itinerant archives of profit and pleasure\, than in archives of loss and trauma? How do we open a dialogue between the interdisciplinary fields of area studies and sexuality studies with an eye to understanding how histories of slavery can reshape\, even devastate\, these very field-formations? \nAnjali Arondekar is Associate Professor of Feminist Studies\, UCSC. Her research engages the poetics and politics of sexuality\, colonialism and historiography\, with a focus on South Asia. She is the author of For the Record: On Sexuality and the Colonial Archive in India (Duke University Press\, 2009\, Orient Blackswan\, India\, 2010)\, winner of the Alan Bray Memorial Book Award for best book in lesbian\, gay\, or queer studies in literature and cultural studies\, Modern Language Association (MLA)\, 2010. She is co-editor (with Geeta Patel) of “Area Impossible: The Geopolitics of Queer Studies\,” GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies (2016). Her talk is an excerpt from her forthcoming book\, Abundance: On Sexuality and Historiography. \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. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Film Festival: General Magic
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute is pleased to sponsor Santa Cruz Film Festival‘s showing of General Magic. The multi-award winning documentary\, is a tale of how a great vision\, a grave betrayal and an epic failure changed the world. Spun out from Apple in 1990 to create the next big thing\, General Magic shipped the first handheld wireless personal communicator in 1994. From the first smartphones to social media\, e-commerce and even emoji\, the ideas that now dominate the tech industry and our day-to-day lives were born at General Magic. \nCombining rare archive footage with contemporary stories of the Magicians today\, this documentary tracks the progress of anytime\, anywhere communication from a thing of sci-fi fiction in 1994 to a reality in our pockets today. This is the story of one of history’s most talented teams and what happens when those who dream big fail\, fail again\, fail better and ultimately succeed. \n
