SUMMARY:How to Live Like Shakespeare

SUMMARY:Abolition Beyond the State w/ Sadie Barnette\, J. Kēhaulani Kauanui\, Zoé Samudzi\, and Eric Stanley
DESCRIPTION:What role can the arts take in the movement to abolish prisons in addition to abolishing the society that upholds them? How can art and culture elevate other ways of living together\, without relying on the fences\, walls\, and cages\, which are both imagined and already practiced? Visualizing Abolition continues with Sadie Barnette\, J. Kēhaulani Kauanui\, Zoé Samudzi\, and Eric Stanley discussing Abolition Beyond the State. \n\nVisualizing Abolition is a series of online events organized by Professor Gina Dent\, Feminist Studies and Dr. Rachel Nelson\, Director\, Institute of the Arts and Sciences. The events feature artists\, activists\, and scholars united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. Originally\, Visualizing Abolition was being planned as an in-person symposium. Due to the ongoing pandemic\, the panels\, artist talks\, film screenings\, and other events will instead take place online. The events accompany Barring Freedom\, an exhibition of contemporary art on view at San José Museum of Art October 30\, 2020-April 25\, 2021.

She is the graduate student intern at both UCSF’s Multicultural Resource Center and the LGBT Resource Center. Zoé received her MSc in Health\, Community\, and Development from the London School of Economics\, and her B.A. in Political Science from the University of Pittsburgh.

Her writing has appeared in The New Inquiry\, The New Republic\, Art in America\, Hyperallergic\, and Arts.Black\, and she is a contributing writer at Jewish Currents. Along with William C. Anderson\, she is the co-author of As Black as Resistance: Finding the Conditions for Our Liberation (AK Press). \nSadie Barnette earned her BFA from CalArts and her MFA from the University of California\, San Diego.

She is the recipient of Art Matters and Artadia awards and has been featured in publications such as The New York Times\, The Los Angeles Times\, Artforum\, and Vogue. She lives in Oakland\, CA and is represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles and Jessica Silverman Gallery in San Francisco. \nJ.

Kauanui currently serves as a co-producer for an anarchist politics show called\, “Anarchy on Air\,” a majority-POC show co-produced with a group of Wesleyan students\, which builds on her earlier work on a related program\, “Horizontal Power Hour.” She is one of the six original co-founders of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA)\, established in 2008. Kauanui also serves as an advisory board member of the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. \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.

SUMMARY:Ben Kafka — The Effort to Drive the Other Person Crazy
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be driven crazy? By a parent\, a professor\, a president\, perhaps even the internet itself? In 1959 the psychoanalyst Harold Searles published a paper in The British Journal of Medical Psychology\, “The Effort to Drive the Other Person Crazy: An Element in the Aetiology and Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia.” “My clinical experience\,” he wrote\, “has indicated that the individual becomes schizophrenic partly by reason of a long-continued effort\, a largely or wholly unconscious effort\, on the part of some person or persons highly important in his upbringing\, to drive him crazy.” This talk will consider Searles’s thesis and its implications for our understanding of mental life. It will argue that\, while it may not be a very good explanation for schizophrenia\, it nevertheless offers us new opportunities to think about our relations to media\, culture\, and one another. \n \nThis colloquium is co-sponsored by the History Department. \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, April 7th; you will receive Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM the day of the colloquium. \nBen Kafka is an Associate Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication at New York University. He is also a psychoanalyst in private practice. He the author of The Demon of Writing: Powers and Failures of Paperwork (Zone Books\, 2012) and co-editor\, with Francesco Pellizzi and Stefanos Geroulanos\, of The Problem of the Fetish: William Pietz’s Lost Manuscript (University of Chicago Press\, 2022). He is currently working on a book about gaslighting\, folies-à-deux\, double binds\, Catch-22s\, and other forms of induced insanity. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather online at 12:10 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute. \n*2020-2021 colloquia will be held virtually until further notice. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own coffee\, tea\, and cookies to the session.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop – Memory Work: Oral History as Toolkit for Creating a Living & Making an Impact
DESCRIPTION:Memory Work: Oral History as Toolkit for Creating a Living & Making an Impact \nJoin oral historian Cameron Vanderscoff to discuss the practice of oral history in times of crisis. “Memory Work” will explore the potential of the oral history toolkit for your own career and for social impact. This talk will share the practical lessons and pitfalls of converting a history education into paid historical work outside of conventional tenure-track pathways. We’ll consider the oral historian as a new public intellectual\, and examine oral history not only in terms of its prosaic power as a discipline\, but its poetic and popular power as an artform—as orature. Concrete case studies will be shared\, and the fundaments of oral history method\, theory\, and ethics will be explored. Newcomers and experienced oral historians alike are welcome. \nCameron Vanderscoff is an oral historian and writer with his own practice based in New York City and a deep track record of public and private partnerships. He holds an MA from Columbia University and consults internationally across a versatile project portfolio\, designing and executing impactful projects and offering comprehensive workshops. As Co-Founder of the Okinawa Memories Initiative\, historical dialogue and education is the heart of his work. Cameron is also the co-editor of Seeds of Something Different\, a celebrated new oral history of UC Santa Cruz and experimentation in education. He is currently collaborating on his second book\, a social memoir touching on pressing themes of racial and social justice in American history. \nThis workshop is presented in partnership with CART Commons\, an ongoing project hosted by the University Library’s Special Collections & Archives. CART Commons provides opportunities for graduate students to engage with one another and with archivists in considering questions related to primary source research practices. \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series\nJoin us for the fifth year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute. We meet monthly to discuss possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grants/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more. *Note that all 2020-2021 PhD+ workshops are open to University of California faculty\, staff\, and students and will be held virtually until further notice. \n  \n  \nLoading…
