SUMMARY:How to Live Like Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:This series of noontime conversations will feature key passages by Shakespeare\, selected for what they reveal about life and living. What are the virtues or capacities that Shakespeare took to be essential to social\, spiritual\, and civic happiness? How do Shakespeare’s speakers think out loud about values and ends\, and how does Shakespeare think in and through his characters about matters of meaning? What images did Shakespeare offer and what words did he choose to make these themes tangible to his actors and audiences and worthy of sharing with others? \n \nCo-hosted by Julia Lupton (UC Irvine) and Sean Keilen (UC Santa Cruz) \nMondays at noon\, April 5\, 12\, 19\, 26\, May 3\, 10\, 17\, 24 \nThemes addressed will include Imagination\, Friendship\, Fortitude\, Empathy\, Justice\, Forgiveness\, Hope\, and Courage. \nJulia Reinhard Lupton is professor of English at UC Irvine and the co-director of the New Swan Shakespeare Center. She is the author or co-author of five books on Shakespeare and the editor or co-editor of many volumes and journal issues. Recent works include Shakespeare Dwelling: Designs for the Theater of Life and Face to Face in Shakespearean Drama\, co-edited with Matthew Smith. Professor Lupton is a Guggenheim laureate and a former Trustee of the Shakespeare Association of America. Her current projects address Shakespeare\, virtue\, and wisdom literature. She is an award-winning teacher and community educator. \nSean Keilen is Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz and the Director of UCSC Shakespeare Workshop. He is the author of Vulgar Eloquence: On the Renaissance Invention of English Literature and an editor of many volumes of criticism\, most recently The Routledge Research Companion to Shakespeare and Classical Literature (with Nick Moschovakis). He is writing a book about scholars in Shakespeare’s plays and what the modern humanities might learn from them.

SUMMARY:Aimee Meredith Cox — Cosmic Cartographies // BodyStorming
DESCRIPTION:This talk/participatory workshop will draw from the methods and theoretical orientation of two of Cox’s current projects. The first\, Cosmic Cartographies\, explores how people define and actualize strategies for Black liberation and is inspired by the ways in which a group of multigeneration Black women activists articulate their physical and psychic relationship to space in Cincinnati. The second\, BodyStorm\, tracks the social choreography\, mobilities\, gestures\, ways of experiencing the body\, and what we might even call dance techniques that are emerging in this time of intensified uncertainty and precarity\, as a response to the present and\, potentially\, as a way of practicing for the future. Cox’s presentation and audience engagement will employ the embodied knowledge and relational techniques developed within and across both projects to explore our own capacities to access new ways of feeling\, comprehending\, and being in the world. \n \nThis colloquium is co-sponsored by the Anthropology Department and the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) program.  \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, April 28th; you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM the day of the colloquium. \nAimee Meredith Cox is an anthropologist\, writer\, movement artist\, and critical ethnographer. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Anthropology and African American Studies departments at Yale University. Aimee’s first monograph\, Shapeshifters: Black Girls and the Choreography of Citizenship (Duke 2015)\, won the 2017 book award from the Society for the Anthropology of North America and a 2016 Victor Turner Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing. She is the editor of the volume Gender: Space (MacMillan\, 2018). Aimee is also a dancer and choreographer. She performed and toured internationally with Ailey II and the Dance Theatre of Harlem and has choreographed performances as interventions in public and private space in Newark\, Philadelphia\, and Brooklyn. Aimee is currently working on two book projects based on ethnographic research among Black communities in Cincinnati\, Ohio; Jackson\, Mississippi; Clarksburg\, West Virginia; and Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn. This overall project is called “Living Past Slow Death.” \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:Jodi Dean: Anti-Communism and the Barriers to Liberation
DESCRIPTION:COVID\, climate change\, and capitalism present a set of fundamental crises. What will it take for the left to be adequate to the task of addressing them? This talk will consider the barriers constituted by the continuation of anti-communist assumptions. It will draw out the limits of left “assemblism\,” state-phobia\, and amorphous inclusivity and highlight the necessity of a disciplined struggle for state power. If the problems are as severe as the ever-present evocations of dystopian catastrophe indicate\, then the only way forward is the revolutionary seizure of the state and the immediate building of socialism. \n \nModerated by UC Santa Cruz Professors Debbie Gould (Sociology) and T. J. Demos (History of Art and Visual Culture) \nJodi Dean is Professor of Political Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva\, NY. She is the author or editor of thirteen books\, including Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies (Duke 2009)\, The Communist Horizon (Verso 2012)\, Crowds and Party (Verso 2016)\, and Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging (Verso 2019). \nBeyond the End of the World comprises a year-long research and exhibition project and public lecture series\, directed by T. J. Demos of the Center for Creative Ecologies\, bringing leading international thinkers and cultural practitioners to UC Santa Cruz. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture. For more information visit beyond.ucsc.edu
