SUMMARY:Idan Landau: A Selectional Criterion for Adjunct Control
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present Idan Landau\, from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev – Israel\, speaking on A Selectional Criterion for Adjunct Control. \nZoom Information will be emailed on Thursday\, November 12\, 2020 \n\nNonfinite adjuncts display a non-uniform control distribution: While all adjuncts accept control by the local matrix subject (Obligatory Control\, OC)\, only some accept other controllers (non-obligatory control\, NOC). For example\, the rationale clause in (1a) allows NOC by the stimulus clause in (1b) does not. \n1a). Mary has made up her mind. Bill would present the speakers [in order PRO to give him the opportunity to practice their names]. \n1b).Mary giggled. Bill smiled [PRO to see her/him in underwear]. \nThe question which adjuncts fall in which category\, and why\, has rarely been addressed (see Green 2-18\, 2019 for an exception). \nFollowing Landeau 2015\, I propose that control operates via prediction (a property-denoting clause) or logophoric anchoring (a propositional cause). The (possibly null) prepositional head of Strict OC adjuncts (as in (1b)) s-selects a property\, while that of alternating OC/NOC adjuncts (as in (1a)) s-selects either a property or proposition. This selectional distinction is independently detectable by testing whether the adjunct accepts a lexical subject\, providing us with a reliable predictor of its control behavior. In this talk\, I will examine 10 different types of adjuncts in English ad demonstrate how this system derives their control patterns. It is further shown that purely configurational theories\, that posit complementarity between OC and NOC\, are empirically inadequate. Finally\, I address the question of why the predictive variant of nonfinite adjuncts is available by default (within and across languages)\, whereas the propositional variant is not. The explanation hinges on the principle of Economy of Projection\, which favors the smaller\, predictive variant over the propositional one. The dual analysis of adjunct control offers insights into puzzling language-internal facts as well as typological generalizations\, so far unrelated in the theory of control. \nOrganized by the Department of Linguistics

SUMMARY:Moor Mother + Rasheedah Phillips: Black Quantum Futurism
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition is Moor Mother—a Philadelphia artist praised as part of “a new generation of visionary black storytellers” (The New York Times—premieres a new video followed by a discussion of Black Quantum Futurism theory and practice with her collaborator Rasheedah Phillips. Weaving through haunting slave narratives as dystopian allegory\, negro spirituals\, and Black ritual\, Moor Mother’s work points to a liberated future through Black Quantum Futurism\, a project in partnership with author Rasheedah Phillips. Through a time of ecological and social disaster\, she says\, “I’m not saying\, this is the end\, we’re all doomed\,” but rather that “I believe there is another way. So it’s about trying to get the audience to understand another way of digesting the truth.” \n \nThe events are co-organized with T.J. Demos of the Center for Creative Ecologies at UC Santa Cruz as part of the UCSC Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar’s Beyond the End of the World research project\, Indexical\, and the Institute of the Arts and Sciences with the collaboration of The Humanities Institute and Kuumbwa Jazz Center. \nCamae Ayewa (Moor Mother) is a nationally- and internationally-touring musician\, poet\, visual artist\, and workshop facilitator\, and has performed at numerous festivals\, colleges\, galleries\, and museums around the world\, sharing the stage with King Britt\, Roscoe Mitchell\, Claudia Rankine\, bell hooks\, and more. Her most recent album\, Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes\, is the culmination of all of her earthly experiences merged with all of her cosmic ones. On Analog Fluids\, haunting slave narratives are presented as dystopian allegory and negro spirituals are flipped\, remixed\, and recaptured\, only to be digitized into a symbiotic bio-morph program for the post-thumb drive age. It’s a record rich with the noise and chaos that affirm Moor Mother’s punk roots\, yet it is also anchored in earthiness via the constant injection of Black ritual\, poetry\, and drums programmed to vibrate through the listener’s mitochondria. \nBlack Quantum Futurism Collective is a multidisciplinary collaboration between Camae Ayewa (Rockers!; Moor Mother) and Rasheedah Phillips (The AfroFuturist Affair; Metropolarity) exploring the intersections of futurism\, creative media\, DIY-aesthetics\, and activism in marginalized communities through an alternative temporal lens. BQF Collective has created a number of community-based events\, experimental music projects\, performances\, exhibitions\, zines\, and anthologies of experimental essays on space-time consciousness. BQF Collective is a 2016 A Blade of Grass Fellow\, 2015 artist-in-residence at West Philadelphia Neighborhood Time Exchange\, and had their experimental short\, Black Bodies as Conductors of Gravity\, premiere at the 2015 Afrofuturism Now! Festival in Rotterdam. BQF Collective frequently collaborates with other Black Futurists\, Joy KMT\, Irreversible Entanglements\, Thomas Stanley\, Ras Mashramani\, Alex Smith to produce literature\, present workshops\, lectures\, and performances.
