SUMMARY:Rosa Vallejos\, "Heritage Languages and the Outcomes of Revitalization Efforts in the Amazon"
DESCRIPTION:Rosa Vallejos is an Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of New Mexico. In her talk\, she examines the role of two indigenous languages in higher education in the Amazon of Peru. It looks at efforts to implement Kukama and Kichwa as key components in the teacher training model developed by the Programa de Formación  de Maestros Bilingües de la Amazona Peruana (www.formabiap.org). At present\, Kukama and Kichwa are at different points of UNESCO’s endangerment scale. Teaching them in higher education is part of a more comprehensive commitment to build culturally and linguistically appropriate education for Amazonian indigenous groups. The study looks at a sample of eight participants\, five Kukamas and three Kichwas\, to reflect on the outcomes of their learning process. An important finding of this study is that endangered languages can be relearned by heritage speakers in a combination of naturalistic and well-structured instructional settings. We conclude that the assessment of these relearning processes needs to be holistic\, going far beyond linguistic proficiency. In the Amazonian context\, at the center of it all are language attitudes\, sense of cultural membership\, and the learners’ positioning with respect to the aspirations of their communities and indigenous organizations. Although the general teaching components can be planned for several groups\, the implementation of the proposals and the evaluation of the outcomes must capture the uniqueness of each sociolinguistic context. \n \nThis talk is presented by the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz.  \nThis event can be attended remotely via Zoom\, as well as in-person in Humanities 1\, Room 210.

SUMMARY:The Hayden V. White Distinguished Annual Lecture: Debating Holocaust Memory: The Politics of Comparison in Contemporary Germany
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two years\, the German public sphere has been roiled by a series of debates concerning the uniqueness and comparability of the Holocaust. These debates have called up older controversies\, especially the Historikerstreit (the Historians’ Debate) of the 1980s in which the left-liberal philosopher Jürgen Habermas took on conservative historians who sought to relativize the Nazi genocide. Despite certain similarities\, however\, the new debates cannot be reduced to a repetition of that earlier moment. The Historikerstreit turned on the relation between Nazi and Stalinist crimes and the question of German responsibility for the Holocaust; today’s controversies involve instead the relation between colonialism and the Holocaust and between racism and antisemitism as well as the ongoing crisis in Israel/Palestine. In this talk\, Michael Rothberg will reflect on these ongoing debates\, including the particular place in them of his book Multidirectional Memory\, which was translated into German in early 2021. As the current debates reveal\, the dominant Holocaust memory regime in Germany is based on an absolutist understanding of the Holocaust’s uniqueness and a rejection of relational and multidirectional approaches to the genocide. While that memory regime represented a major societal accomplishment of the 1980s and 1990s\, it has reached its limits in Germany’s “postmigrant” present. Yet\, as examples of migrant engagement with the Holocaust illustrate\, German society already includes more relational models of memory that have the potential to transform the German model of coming to terms with the past in productive ways. \n*Please note that UC Santa Cruz has COVID-19 guidelines for in-person events. When you arrive\, please provide proof of vaccination OR a recent negative COVID-19 test result taken within 72 hours of the start of the event (must be a lab PCR test; home tests/antigen tests are not valid). Guests are also required to complete a symptom check form online the day you arrive on campus. Masks are required indoors. \nClick here to register for in-person attendance. \nClick here to register for remote attendance via Zoom. \n  \nMichael Rothberg is the 1939 Society Samuel Goetz Chair in Holocaust Studies\, Chair of the Department of Comparative Literature\, and Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His latest book is The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators (2019)\, published by Stanford University Press in their “Cultural Memory in the Present” series. Previous books include Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization (2009)\, Traumatic Realism: The Demands of Holocaust Representation (2000)\, and\, co-edited with Neil Levi\, The Holocaust: Theoretical Readings (2003). The translation of Multidirectional Memory into German in 2021 helped launch a national debate about the current state of German Holocaust memory. With Yasemin Yildiz\, he is currently completing Memory Citizenship: Migrant Archives of Holocaust Remembrance for Fordham University Press. \nFor more information\, please visit: The Hayden V.

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 \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 Spring 2022\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format\, with the option of in-person or virtual attendance. Attendees have the option to attend in person in Humanities 210 or to watch the presentation on zoom. 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 Spring 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:James H. Mills - South Asia's Lost Cocaine? Coca Leaf and Colonialism in India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka)\, c. 1870-1894
DESCRIPTION:Doctors and officials in Britain’s South Asian colonies were quick to spot the potential of cocaine. Carl Koller’s influential experiments with the substance in Vienna were first reported in print in October 1884 and yet by December it was already being used in medical practice in Indore. Further experiments with it followed early in 1885\, and by the end of the year druggists across the country were supplying the growing local market for the drug. As the 1880s proceeded it was put to an increasing range of uses\, within colonial hospitals and clinics but also beyond their boundaries. Almost as quick to respond to the appearance of cocaine in south Asia were British officials and others involved in the colonial economy. This paper explores their efforts to establish the coca plant as a crop and to establish a processing capability to produce South Asian cocaine for the global market. Previous explanations have tended to focus on the competing strains of the coca plant and the environmental difficulties of establishing them in local ecologies. However\, this paper examines the more complex forces driving the decisions that meant that the British colonisers lost their early advantage and failed to commit to cocaine production\, leaving the path open for the better-known Dutch operation in Java. \nJames H. Mills is Professor of Modern History at the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare (CSHHH) Glasgow at the University of Strathclyde. He has research interests in the histories of Asia\, of psychoactive medical commodities\, and of modern imperialism and colonialism. He is currently completing a Wellcome Trust funded research project with the title\, The Asian Cocaine Crisis: Pharmaceuticals\, consumers & control in South and East Asia\, c.1900-1945\, and recently co-edited Cannabis: Global Histories (2021) with Lucas Richert. His publications include Cannabis Nation: Control and Consumption in Britain\, 1928–2008 (2012)\, Cannabis Britannica: Empire\, Trade\, and Prohibition (2003) and (edited with Patricia Barton)\, Drugs and Empires: Essays in Modern Imperialism and Intoxication\, c.1500 to c.1930 (2007). \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Center for World History.
