SUMMARY:Victorian Kitchens & Cocktails
DESCRIPTION:Dust off your copies of What Shall We Have for Dinner? by Lady Clutterbuck and Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management and join us for three interactive sessions exploring Victorian kitchens and cocktails. Dickens Project alumna Liz Pollock explores food and drink preparation in the Victorian kitchen. In subsequent lessons\, she will demonstrate how to make delicious beverages from the Victorian era. \n \nLiz Pollock first came to Santa Cruz in 1975 to visit some friends at the UC Santa Cruz campus for the “Valentine’s Day Waltz” at Cowell College. As soon as she could\, she transferred from Cal State LA to UCSC and majored in comparative literature. She met her husband at Adolph’s Italian Family Restaurant\, where she bartended for five years. Liz has owned and operated the Cook’s Bookcase since 2007 and lives with her family in a restored 1914 California Craftsman bungalow in beautiful Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition: Visuality and Carceral Formations - Nicole Fleetwood\, Herman Gray\, and Nicholas Mirzoeff
DESCRIPTION:The third event in the Visualizing Abolition series brings together visual and cultural theorists Nicole Fleetwood\, Herman Gray\, and Nicholas Mirzoeff to consider the roles of visual culture in normalizing mass incarceration and the racist brutalities of policing within the social landscape and political vision of America. Questions of visuality and formations moves beyond critiques of film\, television\, advertisements\, and other media to ask how dominant visions of the world—and the visual regimes that regulate what people see and what remains hidden from view—are materialized in the prison industrial complex. \n \nThis event is part of The Humanities Institute’s yearlong series on Memory. \nFor the 2020/21 academic year\, UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, in collaboration with Professor Dent\, feminist studies\, has organized a year-long series of online events featuring artists\, activists\, scholars\, and others united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. \nThe events of Visualizing Abolition accompany Barring Freedom\, a bi-coastal exhibition of art featuring Sonya Clark\, American Artist\, Dread Scott\, Deana Lawson\, Chandra McCormick and Keith Calhoun\, Sharon Daniel\, Sanford Biggers\, and other artists whose practices creatively confront the failure of many to see the racist biases within the criminal justice system or to comprehend the economic and social problems that the system serves to obscure. Barring Freedom will be on view at San José Museum of Art late October 2020-March 21\, 2021. \nVisualizing Abolition is organized by UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences in collaboration with San José Museum of Art and Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery. The series has been generously funded by the Nion McEvoy Family Trust\, Ford Foundation\, Future Justice Fund\, Wanda Kownacki\, Peter Coha\, James L. Gunderson\, Rowland and Pat Rebele\, Porter College\, UCSC Foundation\, and annual donors to the Institute of the Arts and Sciences. \nPartners include: Howard University School of Law\, McEvoy Foundation for the Arts\, Jessica Silverman Gallery\, Indexical\, The Humanities Institute\, University Library\, University Relations\, Institute for Social Transformation\, Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery\, Porter College\, the Center for Cultural Studies\, the Center for Creative Ecologies\, and Media and Society\, Kresge College.

SUMMARY:Vicente Rafael & Jorgge Menna Barreto - Authoritarianism in the Philippines and Brazil
DESCRIPTION:This dialogic colloquium enjoins us to learn about and reflect on authoritarianism in Rodrigo Duterte’s Philippines and Jair Bolsonaro’s Brazil.  In each of these democracies\, what histories and dynamics have contributed to these figures’ rise\, and how is their appeal connected to the place of each country in global economies of material and cultural capital? How should we understand their contemporaneity and connection? How have they approached the pandemic’s necropolitical possibilities and challenges? The session will begin with brief opening remarks from Vicente Rafael on Duterte’s Philippines and Jorgge Menna Barreto on Bolsonaro’s Brazil. We will then open to a broader conversation among participants. \n \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, November 18th to receive Zoom link and password. \nPlease Note: colloquium participants will be expected to have completed brief readings by Vicente Rafael and Jorgge Menna Barreto before the event. \n\nVicente L.

SUMMARY:Beyond the End of the World: Manifesta 13 Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:War ecologies call forth not just mutuality but collapse\, survival within violence. Conflict involves corporate extraction and militarised assaults on environments and environmentalists\, while multispecies life and coexistence fall under grave threat. In its curatorial presentation\, the Center for Creative Ecologies offers two artistic case studies asking what kind of pluriverse is possible in the face of different kinds of socioecological violence? The first study addresses the criminalisation of nonhuman life in Putumayo\, southern Colombia by Hannah Meszaros Martin; the other considers sci-fi surrealism and extinction in Mar Menor\, a saltwater lagoon in southeastern Spain\, by Isabelle Carbonell. These comprise part of the Center’s ongoing research project Beyond the End of the World\, which seeks out spaces of hope emerging from geographies of despair. War ecologies identify not only neoliberal enterprises using climate breakdown to introduce authoritarian politics\, but also struggles – human and more-than-human – for ways to transcend the forces of socio-economic inequality and politico-environmental calamity. \nPlease join us for a panel discussion and Q&A with the Center for Creative Ecologies artist and curatorial team Isabelle Carbonell\, Hannah Meszaros Martin\, and T.J. Demos. The team will be discussing their latest exhibition at Manifesta 13 Marseille the European Nomadic Biennial. \n \nHannah Meszaros Martin is an artist\, writer\, and recent PhD graduate of the Centre for Research Architecture\, Goldsmiths\, University of London. She is a researcher in Forensic Architecture\, a European Research Council funded project\, which she has been a member of since 2012. With Forensic Architecture\, she has exhibited at the House of World Cultures (Berlin)\, MACBA (Barcelona) and MUAC (Mexico City)\, and contributed to the book FORENSIS (Sternberg\, 2014). She has exhibited solo work in Medellín\, London\, and documenta(13). She has published with Open Democracy\, Third Text and Different Skies\, a publication that she co-founded in 2012. \nIsabelle Carbonell is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and a PhD Candidate at the University of California\, Santa Cruz in Film and Digital Media\, thinking through a cinema of the anthropocene\, and how we think on multiple possible futures in this time of ecological crisis. Her work lies at the intersection of expanded documentary\, environmental justice\, invasive species\, eco-disasters\, and experimental ethnography. Her scholarship has been published in the Internet Policy Review\, Conexión Journal\, and the Cultural Anthropology Journal. Recent completed film works include: The River Runs Red (2018)\, The Blessed Assurance (2018) and\, The Camel Race (2019). \nThis event is part of the Beyond the End of the World symposium through the Center for Creative Ecologies in collaboration with The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Donka Farkas: Canonical and non-canonical speech acts
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present Donka Farkas speaking on Canonical and non-canonical speech acts. \nZoom Information will be emailed on Thursday\, November 19\, 2020. \n\nAbstract\nThe general issue addressed in this talk is how best to characterize canonical and non-canonical speech acts. The framework I will use is rooted in Farkas and Bruce (2010) and Farkas and Roelofsen (2017). The speech acts I concentrate on are assertions and questions. \nThe first part of the talk focuses on canonical assertions and questions. Pretheoretically\, canonical\, or typical\, assertions are informing speech acts whereby a knowledgeable speaker informs her addressee of the truth of the proposition she expresses. Canonical\, or typical\, questions request information\, i.e.\, an ignorant speaker requests her addressee to resolve the issue she raises. The question addressed in this part of the talk is why should canonical assertions and questions have these properties? I will attempt to answer it by showing that these properties follow from a context structure view based on Farkas and Bruce (2010) and the basic conventional discourse effects (CDE) declaratives and interrogatives are assigned in Farkas and Roelofsen (2017). CDE are defined as functions from the denotation of sentences and input context structures to output context structures. These functions affect the discourse commitments of the speaker\, the conversational table and the future states of the conversation the move projects. \nThe second part of the talk considers ways in which assertions and questions can be non-canonical\, i.e.\, ways in which declaratives and interrogatives can be used in contexts that override the canonical default assumptions discussed in the first part. It will be argued that such non-default cases can be either unmarked (as in the case of `quiz’ questions in English) or marked for various types of particular deviations from the canonical case\, such as markers of bias in questions\, which signal a departure from the speaker neutrality assumption in questions\, or markers of non-categorical commitment\, which signal departures from speaker knowledgeability in assertions. It will be argued that a promising way of treating\nsome of the linguistic means used in non-canonical speech acts is to treat them as force modifiers\, i.e. as contributing special CDE\, treated formally as functions from contexts C to contexts C’\, where C is the result of applying the basic CDE of the sentence to its input context (see Faller\, 2002; Murray\, 2010). \nFor questions please email Maria Zimmer.

SUMMARY:Ta-Nehisi Coates: Special post-election conversation
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to welcome Ta-Nehisi Coates\, one of our country’s best thinkers and writers\, for a virtual conversation about the state of our country post-election\, truth telling\, and the idea that stories and mythology can persuade and change attitudes when facts alone cannot. Coates’ novel\, The Water Dancer\, will serve as a starting off point for his conversation with Adam Serwer\, staff writer at The Atlantic. \nHosted by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz\, in partnership with Bookshop Santa Cruz and Marcus Bookstores in Oakland. \nWe’re excited to offer free event access and copies of Coates’ novel to the first 500 UCSC students who register. \nTicketing Information\nAll tickets include one paperback copy of THE WATER DANCER plus entry to the event. \n\nIn-store pickup: $22 (plus Eventbrite fees)\nShipped-to-You: $27 (plus Eventbrite fees)\nFree book and event access available to the first 500 current UCSC students who register. Sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. Student ID required at registration (Thank you\, students! Free tickets have now sold out. General admission tickets are still available for purchase).\n\n \n\n“What if memory had the power to transport enslaved people to freedom?’ . . . The most moving part of The Water Dancer [is] the possibility it offers of an alternate history. . . . The book’s most poignant and painful gift is the temporary fantasy that all the people who leaped off slave ships and into the Atlantic were not drowning themselves in terror and anguish\, but going home.”—NPR \n\nThe Humanities Institute is exploring the theme of Memory this year\, and this event is sure to provide substantive insight at a moment when we’re interrogating the past and trying to move forward as a country. We encourage everyone—current students\, alumni\, staff and community members—to join us for what will be an insightful and timely event. \nTa-Nehisi Coates is the author of The Beautiful Struggle\, We Were Eight Years in Power\, and Between the World and Me\, which won the National Book Award in 2015. He is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. \nAdam Serwer is a staff writer at The Atlantic and is the author of the forthcoming essay collection\, The Cruelty Is the Point: Essays on Trump’s America\, which can be pre-ordered through Bookshop Santa Cruz here.
