SUMMARY:"Just Futures" Opens
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute and the Center for Creative Ecologies present Beyond the End of the World Lecture Series. \n Just Futures\, a highly anticipated exhibition featuring the works of Arthur Jafa\, Martine Syms\, and Black Quantum Futurism\, curated by Professor T.J. Demos\, History of Art and Visual Culture\, opens at the Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery February 1- March 19\, 2022. We are excited to welcome the public back to the Sesnon Art Gallery after a nearly two-year hiatus. \nAgainst the present’s seemingly endless backdrop of deep political unrest\, environmental emergency\, and racialized injustice\, Just Futures highlights poignant creative experiments in futurity and justice\, directed at emancipatory worlds-to-come. With artworks by Black Quantum Futurism\, Arthur Jafa\, and Martine Syms\, Just Futures considers how time itself is a site of struggle and a horizon of liberation. The centerpiece of the exhibition\, Arthur Jafa’s Love Is The Message\, The Message Is Death (2016)\, was screened simultaneously over 48 hours across art museums in 2020 as an international response to racial justice uprisings and civil unrest. Far from homogenous\, inherently progressive\, or equitable\, dominant time expresses the 24/7 chronologies of capital\, long synchronized to racialized\, gendered violence and oppression. The seemingly endless meter of production encloses people in temporal holds\, defuturing communities\, and imposing time-traps of debt and deadlines. \nThe artworks included in Just Futures powerfully reveal and challenge such temporality\, including its seeming fixity and policed regimentation. In doing so\, they build on the critical resources of Afrofuturisms of decades past—experiments in sonic and visual futurity that draw together Afro-diasporic cultures of creativity and the chronopolitics of coming liberation. Expanding horizons of the possible\, the artists presented in Just Futures reveal new singular experiments in time travel. They cultivate space agency that dismantle the “Master(s) Clock(work Universe)” (Black Quantum Futurism); present a stunning cinematic exploration of African-American image archives opposing police brutality with scenes of freedom dreams and anti-racist struggle (Arthur Jafa); and offer a “Mundane Afrofuturist Manifesto” contesting the entire edifice of racial capitalism (Martine Syms). Each inclusion provokes compelling and urgent recalibrations of justice and futurity. \nThis exhibition forms part of Beyond the End of the World\, which comprises a year-long research and exhibition project and public lecture series\, directed by T. J. Demos of UCSC’s Center for Creative Ecologies. The project brings leading international thinkers and cultural practitioners to UC Santa Cruz to discuss what lies beyond dystopian catastrophism\, and asks how we can cultivate radical futures of social justice and ecological flourishing. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture and administered by The Humanities Institute. For more information visit BEYOND.UCSC.EDU.  \nPlease note: Exhibition includes violent imagery and content. \nVisitors must be in compliance with Covid-19 protocols. Please complete a symptom check before or upon arrival. \nJust Futures is sponsored by the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery\, Center for Creative Ecologies\, and The Humanities Institute. Education programming is developed by Darren Wallace\, PhD student in Film and Digital Media.

SUMMARY:Massimiliano Tomba - Revolutions/Restorations
DESCRIPTION:Reading revolutions through the prism of a concept of history that is not teleological or unilinear but is instead structured as a pluriverse of historical temporalities\, this talk shows how different temporalities and semantic stratification of revolution are reactivated in historical revolutionary moments. From this perspective\, the ancient notions of revolution and restoration are not erased but coexist as temporal stratifications. Tomba’s analysis is articulated through historical cases\, from the German peasant war of 1525 to the Water War in Bolivia in 2000. \n \nMassimiliano Tomba is the author of Krise und Kritik bei Bruno Bauer: Kategorien des Politischen im nachhegelschen Denken (2005); La vera politica: Kant e Benjamin: la possibilità della giustizia (2006); Marx’s Temporalities (2013); Attraverso la piccolo porta: Quattro studi su Walter Benjamin (Mimesis\, 2017); Insurgent Universality: An Alternative Legacy of Modernity (2019). \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 Winter 2022\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format\, in which some events are fully remote and others have the option of in-person attendance. 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 Winter colloquium series\, please use this form. If you have any questions about the colloquium\, please contact Piper Milton (cult@ucsc.edu). \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Introduction to Digital Humanities
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for the first meeting of the Digital Humanities Workshop series 2022 to learn about what digital humanities means\, how digital tools empower humanities scholarship\, the role of technology in higher education as a tool of communication and research as well as an expressive and creative medium\, and the new opportunities and career paths that digital skills can open for humanists. The first workshop is presented by the Humanities Computing Services in partnership with the Digital Scholarship Commons and The Humanities Institute’s PhD+ series. \nThe Digital Humanities Workshop series will continue throughout 2022 with a range of sessions led by digital humanists at UC Santa Cruz who will discuss their experiences “doing DH” and their insights on how the digital environment is changing the landscape of higher education in general and humanities in particular. We will also explore together digital humanities tools that are widely used in research\, teaching and learning. Our goal is to provide as many perspectives on digital humanities as we can fit in and empower you to advance humanities through digital means. \n \nXiao Li is a historian and digital humanist. She works as the digital humanist in the Humanities Computing Service in the humanities division. Before joining UC Santa Cruz\, Xiao was a digital humanities specialist at Phillips Academy at Andover\, preserving historical archives on Asian history in the U.S.: Chinese Students at Andover (1878-2000) and was a digital humanities intern at the Smithsonian preserving the destroyed cultural heritage sites in Syria\, Mali and Bosnia. She also worked with Reuters and the Associate Press for four years on international news reporting. \nDaniel Story is a historian and digital humanist. He works as a Digital Scholarship Librarian at UC Santa Cruz\, supporting and collaborating with students and faculty who seek to engage digital methods in their teaching\, research\, or learning. He is the lead producer of the ten-part documentary podcast Stories from the Epicenter\, which explores the experience and memory of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake in Santa Cruz County\, California. He also currently serves as a consulting editor for The American Historical Review and produces the journal’s podcast\, AHR Interview. Daniel received his Ph.D. in History from Indiana University\, Bloomington. \n\nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series\nJoin us for the sixth 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.
