SUMMARY:The Original Thinkers Series: A Conversation About Oliver Sacks
DESCRIPTION:Please note a recent change to our lineup: Peabody Award-wining journalist and producer Nikki Silva (Porter\, ’73) and Cowell College Provost Alan Christy will engage Ren Weschler in conversation about Oliver Sacks. Robert Krulwich is unable to join us this evening. Please enjoy this recent Kitchen Sisters episode of The Keepers featuring Ren Weschler. \nAnd How Are You\, Dr. Sacks? is a biographical memoir about Oliver Sacks written by Ren Weschler (Cowell ’74). It is the definitive portrait of Sacks as our preeminent romantic scientist\, a self-described “clinical ontologist” whose entire practice revolved around the single fundamental question he effectively asked each of his patients: How are you? A question which Ren\, with this book\, turns back on the good doctor himself. \nMonday\, October 21\, 7:00–9:00 p.m. \nMusic Center Recital Hall\, UC Santa Cruz \n \nQuestions?\nContact the Special Events Office at specialevents@ucsc.edu or (831) 459-5003. \nSPEAKERS \n\n\nLawrence (Ren) Weschler \nA graduate of Cowell College (1974)\, Ren Weschler writes in LitHub about his earliest awareness of Sacks. Ren was a staff writer for more than 20 years (1981–2002) at The New Yorker. The director emeritus of the NY Institute for the Humanities at NYU\, Ren is also the author of more than 20 books\, including Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder and Vermeer in Bosnia. \n  \n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Cultural Studies Colloquium: Elizabeth Marcus
DESCRIPTION:“When is a Boycott a Boycott? Lebanon\, Palestine and Hollywood\, and the Arrest of Ziad Doueiri” \nThis paper looks at the arrest and court case of Lebanese film director\, Ziad Doueiri. Doueiri broke the 1955 Boycott Law by shooting a film in Israel\, using Israeli and Palestinian actors. The film was then banned across the all the countries of the Arab League. Marcus argues that his case compelled the law to define the terms around which a cultural object should be subject to a boycott\, and she investigates the intersections between old laws\, new global movements\, and state sovereignty. \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nElizabeth Marcus is a Mellon Fellow in the Scholars in the Humanities program at Stanford University and a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Leeds. She received her BA from the University of Oxford in Modern History and French\, and completed her PhD in French and Comparative Literature at Columbia University in 2017. Elizabeth has taught in the Core Curriculum at Columbia University and at MIT as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Global Studies and Languages Department. Her research focuses on the literatures as well as the intellectual and cultural history of the Francophone and Arab world with a particular interest in the relationship between language and cultural politics\, intellectual networks\, and migration in the afterlife of the French Empire. Her current manuscript\, Difference and Dissidence: Cultural Politics and the End of Empire in Lebanon\, 1943-1975\, uncovers the response of local actors to the unique period of transition Lebanon at the end of the French mandate to the beginning of the civil war in 1975. During her time as a British Academy Fellow\, she will start her second project\, Paris and the Global University: International Students and Cultural Internationalism at the Cité Universitaire\, 1945-1975\, which looks at how the Cité internationale Universitaire\, a residential campus in the Parisian outskirts\, became a crucible of left and right-wing transnational political and cultural activism during the Trente Glorieuses (1945-1975). \n The 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.
