SUMMARY:Eve Zyzik: Spanish Studies Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Spelling is an aspect of literacy that causes significant difficulties for Spanish heritage language learners. The current research study targets one of the most problematic areas of Spanish orthography: substitution of “s” and “c” letters to represent /s/. Participants (n=72) were young adults\, heritage speakers of Spanish\, who completed a dictation task in addition to a standardized measure of proficiency. The results indicate a main effect for cognates (Spanish/English cognates are spelled more accurately)\, but no effect for letter. In other words\, the data show that “s” is not the default letter for representing /s/\, contrary to what had been found in a number of previous studies. These results are discussed in the broader context of pedagogical proposals for targeting orthography among college-aged heritage language learners. \n  \nEve Zyzik (PhD\, UC Davis) is currently Professor of Spanish in the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz. She has published over twenty-five articles and chapters related to second language acquisition\, heritage language development\, and language pedagogy. Her articles appear in journals such as Applied Psycholinguistics\, Language Learning\, Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism\, and Studies in Second Language Acquisition. She has also published two books: El español y la lingüística aplicada (with Robert Blake) and Authentic Materials Myths: Applying Second Language Research to Classroom Teaching (with Charlene Polio). \n  \nNote: Event will be given in Spanish

SUMMARY:Anjali Arondekar: What More Remains - Sexuality\, Slavery\, Historiography
DESCRIPTION:This 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? \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \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.

SUMMARY:FrankenCon 2019
DESCRIPTION:For over two hundred years\, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has haunted our days and chilled our dreaming nights. Celebrate and explore the enduring legacy of the world’s first science-fiction horror story with FRANKENCON\, a three-day conference of scientists\, theorists\, and artists on November 21-23\, 2019 at UC Santa Cruz. \nThe conference is in conjunction with the Theater Arts Department production of The Frankenstein Project\, a play by Kirsten Brandt. \nIn the centuries since Mary Shelley first penned the novel\, the lore and magic of Frankenstein has molded the modern genre of science fiction. With the explosive proliferation of golems\, robots\, monsters of artificial intelligence and genetically-engineered dinosaurs\, Frankenstein and its cultural progeny have come to dominate cultural discussions about the ethics of science\, the problems of modernity\, the obligations of parents and children\, and the painful act of creation itself. \nFree and open to the public \nFull information including guest speakers\, schedule\, and how to attend at:\n FRANKENCON.COM \nPresented by the UC Santa Cruz Center for Monster Studies\, The Humanities Institute and The Division of the Arts. With the support of Porter College\, Crown College\, The Science & Justice Research Center\, The Theater Arts Department\, Oakes College\, and the Department of Art & Design: Games & Playable Media; and with the generosity of our friends at DNA’s Comedy Lab & Experimental Theatre and Good Times Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Stephen Roddy: Testing Allegiances - Ueda Akinari's Rewriting of an Exemplary Chinese Friendship
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the transcultural implications of Ueda Akinari’s (1734-1809) short story “The Chrysanthemum Pledge” (Kikka no chigiri)\, a masterpiece considered to have overshadowed the 17th-century Chinese tale of exemplary friendship on which it is closely modeled. Despite the Confucian tenor of both the Chinese and the Japanese versions\, I argue that Akinari subtly but unmistakably undermines the moral rectitude of the protagonists recounted in his tale. By reading this and other examples of Akinari’s fiction in juxtaposition with the author’s extensive oeuvre of wagaku and other scholarship\, we can more fully appreciate his nuanced position as both connoisseur and skeptic toward cultural products emanating from the Western Lands (which for him mostly meant China and India). \nStephen Roddy is a professor of Modern and Classical Languages\, received his PhD in East Asian Studies from Princeton University\, and specializes in the fiction and other prose genres of 18th and 19th century China and Japan. His current interests focus on the influences of Chinese fiction on late-Tokugawa writers\, and of Meiji-period thinkers on essayists of the late-Qing. He teaches courses in Japanese and Chinese literature\, culture\, and language. \nFor further information\, Contact Minghui Hu (mhu@ucsc.edu)
