SUMMARY:A.M. Darke - Games and Play as Social Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Game designer A.M. Darke frames powerful dialogue about the role of games in the shaping of power in contemporary digital culture\, and beyond. What is at stake in self-representation\, and our representations of our communities\, through gaming. How are industry representations variously coded as racial\, as gendered? How can aspiring game-makers intervene in their communities and social representations of them? A.M. Darke rejoins our series for the third time\, pivoting from panelist to core/keynote lecturer. His lecture will take shape in two parts; the first an overview of his own work\, and the second a primer on accessible platforms for game-making. \n \n  \nA.M. Darke is an artist\, game designer\, and activist designing games for social impact. He created the award-winning card game Objectif\, which explores the intersection of race\, gender\, and standards of beauty. In 2016 he became an Oculus Launch Pad fellow\, and shortly thereafter wrote An Open Letter to Oculus Founder\, Palmer Luckey in response to reports of Luckey’s alt-right affiliations. The following year\, he curated the exhibition Building Code: Developing Mixed Use Space in Virtual Reality as an artist-in-residence at Laboratory. In 2018\, Darke joined the NYU Game Center Incubator residency\, and is currently a Futurist in Residence with ARVR Women. Darke holds a B.A. in Design (’13) and an M.F.A. in Media Arts (’15)\, both from UCLA. He is an Assistant Professor of Games and Playable Media\, and Digital Arts and New Media at UC Santa Cruz\, and the founding director of The Other Lab\, an interdisciplinary\, intersectional feminist research lab for experimental games\, XR\, and new media. His work has been shown internationally and featured in a variety of publications\, including Forbes\, Kill Screen\, The Creator’s Project\, and NPR. \n  \nMedia and Society is a series of lectures and public conversations on the role of media\, journalism\, popular culture narrative\, and media representation\, in the deployment of power in contemporary society. \nEach series lasts a full academic year\, but the fall quarter of the series is also a component of Kresge 1: Power and Representation\, the core course at Kresge College. The series as a whole uniquely serves the UC Santa Cruz community in a vital function of the liberal arts: to cultivate dialogue in the context of public dialogue\, and to guard our freedoms in expressing and debating that knowledge.

SUMMARY:Nasser Zakariya - Questions on "Anthroperiphery"
DESCRIPTION:Taking recent discussions of “Copernican Forecasting” as a point of departure\, this talk will look to historical and probabilistic arguments representing science in terms of ongoing demonstrations of the increasingly marginal position of humanity. A sketch of some of the genealogies of these arguments and their representations suggest how ill-fitting they might be when set against varying historical conceptions of centrality\, probability\, and forecasting. \n \nNasser Zakariya’s doctorate is in history of science\, with a secondary field in Film and Visual Studies. His research interests concern science and narrative\, as well as varied topics in the history and philosophy of science. He has taught and held research fellowships at a number of institutions\, including the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and New York University Tandon School of Engineering (formerly Polytechnic Institute of NYU).\n \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nFor Fall 2021\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format. Attendees have the option to attend in person in Humanities 210 or to watch the presentation on zoom. Those who attend in person must adhere to the campus mask mandate for all indoor activities and must complete UCSC’s symptom-check form before coming to campus. In person attendees are asked to please arrive at 12pm so that the event coordinators can verify the symptom check has been completed. To attend remotely via zoom\, please RSVP in advance\, and you will receive a zoom link on the morning of the colloquium. In most cases\, speakers will appear remotely so that they will not have to present wearing a mask. To RSVP for the full Fall colloquium series\, please use this form. If you have any questions about the colloquium\, please contact Piper Milton (pmilton@ucsc.edu). \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute. This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Middle East and North Africa.
