SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Pickwick Club: A Tale of Two Cities
DESCRIPTION:A Tale of Two Cities is a historical novel set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It is the story of the French Doctor Manette\, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris\, and his release to live in London with his daughter Lucie whom he had never met. The story details the conditions that led to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. \nJune 22: Book the Second: The Golden Thread\, Chapters 6-24 \nIts central themes–cultural and historical difference\, the nature of political revolution and change\, the identity and narration of the self\, sacrifice\, secrecy heroism–find expression through an often weird or gothic concern with bodies and their doubles\, split identities\, and the uncertain boundaries of life and death. \nJoin Wayne Batten and the Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship for a series of discussions about Dickens’s most enduring–and shortest!–novels. \n \n  \n\n\nSupplemental Readings are available upon request. Contact Courtney at cmahaney@ucsc.edu. \nRecommended Edition: We recommend the Penguin Classics edition of the novel\, but other versions are fine. Download the novel to read at Gutenburg.org or to listen at LibriVox.org. \nThe Santa Cruz Pickwick (Book) Club\, a branch of the Dickens Fellowship\, is a community of local bookworms\, students\, and teachers who meet monthly to discuss a nineteenth-century novel. The Santa Cruz Public Libraries provide support for the reading group. \n\n\n\n\nSanta Cruz Pickwick Club \nMeets on the fourth Sunday of the month from 1:00-3:00 PM (Pacific). \nQuestions? Call (831) 459-2103\nor email dpj@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Kyle Parry - Generativity Across Scales
DESCRIPTION:Toni Morrison said a book is not “This is what I believe\,” because that would be “just a tract.” Rather\, a book is “I don’t know what it is\, but I am interested in finding out what it might mean to me\, as well as to other people.” This talk’s “I don’t know” is a concept that has been used to describe everything from language to a life stage to the creative power of the internet: generativity. Arguing against uncritical visions of generative AI\, I frame generativity as a fact and a force at work across multiple scales of networked life. It is something people do together\, and that might yet be done differently. \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:Jed Buchwald - "Isaac Newton and the Origin of Civilization"
DESCRIPTION:Isaac Newton\, who renovated the foundations of mathematics\, optics\, and mechanics in the 17th century\, aimed also to overturn the entire history of civilization. By the late 1690s Newton had become convinced that the natural rate of population growth implied that elaborately organized social life had not arisen until near the time of Solomon’s kingdom. He canvassed ancient texts for words that could be pruned and transformed into supporting evidence – deploying in the process the earliest known procedures for handling discrepant data\, and reconstructing the very plan of Solomon’s temple. Here we will find Newton’s unorthodox religious convictions interacting in complex ways with the new methods that he had introduced into experimental science. And we will also see how the most sophisticated of techniques can produce error when data is massaged to fit a strongly-held conviction. \n*Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this year’s event will only be held online. Join us by registering for the webinar here: \n \n  \nJed Z. Buchwald is the Doris and Henry Dreyfuss Professor of History at Caltech. After earning degrees in physics and science history at Princeton and Harvard\, Professor Buchwald taught for twenty years at the University of Toronto. After several years as director of the Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, he moved to the California Institute of Technology in 2001. He has authored or co-authored six books in the history of science and\, more recently\, on the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Buchwald is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, the International Academy of the History of Science\, and is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was also a MacArthur Fellow in 1995. \n  \n\nInaugural Nauenberg History of Science Lecture\nThe Nauenberg History of Science Lecture was established in honor of Michael Nauenberg\, a founding faculty member in the Physics Department at UCSC who came to the campus in 1966. During his distinguished academic career\, he contributed to a remarkably broad range of fields\, including particle physics\, condensed matter physics\, astrophysics\, chaos theory\, fluid dynamics\, and the history of physics in the 17th-18th centuries. \nAmongst Professor Nauenberg’s passions\, he deeply believed in the importance of interdisciplinary scholarship connecting the sciences with the humanities. Following his retirement in 1994\, he pursued his long-standing interests in the history of science\, writing books and articles about Joseph Banks\, Robert Hooke\, Christiaan Huygens\, and Isaac Newton. In 2013\, he became the only scientist to receive the University of California Panunzio Distinguished Emeriti Award\, an honor normally given to Professors in the Humanities and Social Sciences. When Professor Nauenberg passed away in 2019\, the UCSC Emeriti Association and the Nauenberg family established a History of Science Lecture series in the spirit of his 1999 proposal. \nYou can support the lecture series by contributing here. \nThe Nauenberg History of Science Lecture is presented by the UCSC Emeriti Association and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Pamela Z - Concert and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Pamela Z is a composer\, technologist\, mixed-media and performance artist specializing in real-time synthesis\, voice and vocality\, and the framing of found objects and found texts as opportunities for unexpectedly visceral engagements— engagements with the interiorities and exteriorities of our identities and communities. She will complete a two-part residency at UC Santa Cruz\, engaging with artists\, and then in public dialogue with our music- and media-curious communities on the future of performance and multi-modal creativity. \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. \n \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.
