SUMMARY:Geographies of Kinship: A Conversation with Filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem and Adoption Rights Activist Kim Stoker
DESCRIPTION:THI’s Forgotten Wars Research Cluster and the Center for Racial Justice have partnered to present a conversation on the war-forged Korean adoptee diaspora with the director of Geographies of Kinship Deann Borshay Liem and adoption rights activist Kim Stoker\, facilitated by Amy Ginther (Theater Arts). (About the film: In a tale about the rise of Korea’s global adoption program\, four adult adoptees who were raised in foreign families return to their country of birth\, mapping the geographies of kinship that bind them to a homeland they never knew. Along the way they question the policies and practices that led South Korea to become the world’s largest “sending country”—with 200\,000 children adopted out to North America\, Europe\, and Australia. Emboldened by w’hat they have experienced and learned\, they become advocates for birth family and adoptee rights\, support for single mothers\, and historical reckoning). \n \nIt is recommended that attendees view the film before the event. Attendees with an @ucsc.edu email may watch the film for free at this website (under school email films\, click “Geographies of Kinship”): https://www.newday.com/watch-now \nDeann Borshay Liem has over twenty years experience working in development\, production and distribution of independent documentaries. She produced\, directed\, and wrote the Emmy Award-nominated documentary\, First Person Plural (Sundance\, 2000) and the award-winning films\, In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee (PBS\, 2010) and Memory of Forgotten War (with Ramsay Liem; PBS\, 2015). She served as executive producer for Spencer Nakasako’s Kelly Loves Tony (PBS\, 1998) and AKA Don Bonus (PBS\, 1996\, Emmy Award); On Coal River by Francine Cavanaugh and Adams Wood (Silverdocs\, 2010); Ishi’s Return by Chris Eyre (PBS\, 2016); and Breathin’: The Eddy Zheng Story by Ben Wang (PBS\, 2017).

SUMMARY:Evren Savcı — Queer in Translation: Sexual Politics under Neoliberal Islam
DESCRIPTION:Savcı will speak about her book Queer in Translation\, which draws on the case of Turkey’s 16 years of AKP governance to intervene in Queer Studies’ separate — indeed\, diagonically opposed — approaches to neoliberalism and to Islam. She theorizes “neoliberal Islam” as a unique regime that brings together economic and religious moralities to deploy marginality onto ever-expanding populations instead of concentrating it in the lower echelons of society\, and she suggests that sexual liberation movements are the most productive places from which to theorize neoliberal Islam\, as well as to imagine resistances to it. After an initial presentation\, Savcı will then be in conversation with Mayanthi Fernando (UCSC). \n \nThis colloquium is a joint event with the Center for the Middle East and North Africa (CMENA). \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, May 12th; you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM the day of the colloquium. \nEvren Savcı is Assistant Professor of Women’s\, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Yale University. Her first book Queer in Translation: Sexual Politics under Neoliberal Islam (2021\, Duke University Press) analyzes sexual politics under contemporary Turkey’s AKP regime with an eye to the travel and translation of sexual political vocabulary. Her second book project\, tentatively entitled Failures of Modernization: Polygamy\, Islamic Matrimony and Cousin Marriages in the Turkish Republic\, turns to those sexual practices that were deemed “uncivilized” and either heavily discouraged or outlawed by the Turkish Republic. Savcı’s work on the intersections of language\, knowledge\, sexual politics\, neoliberalism\, and religion has appeared in Journal of Marriage and Family; Ethnography; Sexualities; Political Power and Social Theory; Theory & Event; Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion; GLQ\, and in several edited collections. \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:Ji Young Kim: La prosodia del Uptalk en el Español de Herencia
DESCRIPTION:El objetivo de este estudio es investigar los patrones entonativos del uptalk en el español de los hablantes de herencia en Los Ángeles\, cuyos padres emigraron de México. El uptalk\, también llamado High Rising Terminal (HRT)\, se trata de la entonación ascendente en enunciados declarativos. Generalmente se considera que el uptalk es un rasgo prosódico del inglés\, sobre todo el acento valley girl de California. Puesto que los hablantes de herencia son bilingües en español e inglés\, se supone que el uso de uptalk es una muestra de la transferencia del inglés al español. Aunque el uptalk se ha investigado mayoritariamente en las variedades del inglés\, es importante tener en cuenta el hecho de que este fenómeno prosódico también se observe en otros idiomas\, incluso el español. Por ejemplo\, en México\, el uptalk es una de las características estereotipadas del habla fresa. Por lo tanto\, antes de hablar sobre la influencia del inglés en el español de los hablantes de herencia\, es primordial analizar la variación lingüística del español del lugar de origen. En este trabajo\, se usó el sistema de etiquetaje Sp_ToBI (Beckman et al.\, 2002; Prieto y Roseano\, 2010) para comparar los contornos entonativos del uptalk de los hablantes de herencia y los hablantes monolingües de español. También se analizó la realización acústica del uptalk de los dos grupos. Los datos muestran que los monolingües producen el uptalk con los contornos más dinámicos y con un ascenso final más empinado que los hablantes de herencia. De estos hallazgos se sugieren estudios futuros para explicar la divergencia prosódica del uptalk de los hablantes de herencia. \nPlease click here to join the Zoom event: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/4712467066?pwd=NUkzZEhjallpQWdWcGc1Yk9HeTJudz09 \nPRESENTATION WILL BE IN SPANISH \nPresented by UCSC Spanish Studies and the Department Of Languages and Applied Linguistics. \nJi Young Kim es profesora asistente de la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles. Sus áreas de especialización son la fonética y fonología del español\, la adquisición de lenguas de herencia\, y el bilingüismo. Su investigación se centra en la realización de los segmentos y la prosodia del español como lengua de herencia\, el acento de herencia\, y la variación fonética del español de EEUU. Ha publicado artículos sobre estos temas en revistas académicas y es co-editora de la edición especial de la revista Languages “Heritage Speaker Phonetics and Phonology: Testing Models and Expanding the Range of Data.”

SUMMARY:Pasolini in Morocco: The Geopolitics of Cinematic Space and Transnational Production
DESCRIPTION:Morocco\, and especially the desert oasis of Ouarzazate\, is well-known as a destination for big-budget Hollywood film productions like The Last Temptation of Christ (Martin Scorsese\, 1988) and Gladiator (Ridley Scott\, 2000). Well before those films\, however\, iconoclastic Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) shot his Oedipus the King in the same region in 1966. Some of his films’ other locations were found elsewhere in Africa and the Middle East: Persia\, Eritrea\, Palestine\, and Yemen. Pasolini’s films are deeply invested in their respective locations\, just as the filmmaker himself was invested in the idea that encounters with “Third World” peoples and places held a radical potential for rethinking the relations of capitalist modernity. In turning\, in particular\, to his Moroccan Oedipus\, this talk addresses the entangled relations of Orientalism and anticolonial aesthetics and the politics of race\, queer desire\, eroticism\, and space in Pasolini’s work. Moreover\, it does so by thinking with the Moroccan films and filmmakers that have made political and aesthetic engagements with his work. Using a critical analysis of Pasolini’s Oedipus and an engagement with the film’s Moroccan interlocutors such as Ali Essafi\, Daoud Aoulad-Syad\, and Ahmed Bouanani\, this talk will offer a theoretical investigation of Pasolini’s afterlives in the Maghreb. \n \nPeter Limbrick is professor of film and digital media at UC Santa Cruz. He is the author of Arab Modernism as World Cinema: The Films of Moumen Smihi (University of California Press\, 2020) and Making Settler Cinemas (Palgrave\, 2010) as well as articles in journals like Third Text\, Camera Obscura\, and Cinema Journal. In 2013 he curated a retrospective of Moroccan filmmaker Moumen Smihi’s films\, which screened at the Pacific Film Archive (Berkeley)\, Block Cinema (Chicago)\, and Tate Modern (London). \nAbout the Series\nThe annual Visual and Media Cultures Colloquia (VMCC) at UC Santa Cruz are a collaboration between the graduate programs in Film and Digital Media Department and Visual Studies in the History of Art and Visual Culture Department. The series brings an array of cutting-edge scholars to speak on a broad spectrum of subjects. This event is co-sponsored by THI’s Center for the Middle East and North Africa.

SUMMARY:Forging Ties\, Forging Passports: Migration and the Modern Sephardi Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Forging Ties\, Forging Passports is a history of migration and nation-building from the vantage point of those who lived between states. Devi Mays traces the histories of Ottoman Sephardi Jews who emigrated to the Americas—and especially to Mexico—in the late nineteenth century through World War II\, and the complex relationships they maintained to legal documentation as they migrated and settled into new homes. Mays considers the shifting notions of belonging\, nationality\, and citizenship through the stories of individual women\, men\, and families who navigated these transitions in their everyday lives\, as well as through the paperwork they carried. \n \nZoom link will be sent out prior to the event. \nDevi Mays is Assistant Professor of Judaic Studies and History at the University of Michigan. Her book\, Forging Ties\, Forging Passports: Migration and the Modern Sephardi Diaspora (Stanford University Press\, 2020) won the 2020 National Jewish Book Award in Sephardic Culture. She is working on two new projects\, the first focusing on Ottoman and North African Jews as tastemakers in fin-de- siècle and interwar Paris with Julia Phillips Cohen\, and the second an introduction to and translation of Izmir-based Ottoman Jewish journalist Alexandre Ben Ghiat’s Ladino diary of World War I\, entitled Two Steps from the Abyss: An Ottoman Jewish Witness to War. \nThis presentation will be given during Professor Alma Heckman’s Spring Course offering\, HIS 185I: Latin American Jewish History in the Modern Period.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Reflections on Movement and Movement-Building
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.   \nWhat does it mean to conjure a world without borders\, a world without prisons\, and a world without the carceral logics that detain and deport? How do we understand the connections and potential coalitions among struggles against policing and prisons\, mobilizations against border fortification\, and movements to create a more just university such as the COLA strike? This panel explores the abolitionist imperative to eradicate borders—which is fundamentally distinct from imperialist\, neoliberal\, and liberal humanitarian demands for borderlessness—as one that necessarily brings the prison industrial complex\, immigrant detention\, border fortification\, and labor struggles into the same analytical frame. \n \nPanelists: \n\nNunu Kidane (Priority Africa Network)\nNick Mitchell (UCSC)\nGave Evans (UCSC\, PhD student)\nTaylor Wondergem (UCSC\, PhD student)\nIlaria Giglioli (New College of Florida)\n\nPresented by The Humanities Institute’s Border Regimes and Resistance in Global Perspective Cluster
