SUMMARY:Madhavi Murty - Stories that Bind: Political Economy and Culture in New India
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the publication of a new book by Feminist Studies Prof. Madhavi Murty\, in conversation with Prof. Gina Dent. \nStories that Bind: Political Economy and Culture in New India (Rutgers University Press) examines the assertion of authoritarian nationalism and neoliberalism backed by the authority of the state\, and argues that contemporary India should be understood as the intersection of the two. Through its focus on India and its complex media landscape\, the book reveals that this intersection has a narrative form\, which Prof. Murty labels “spectacular realism.” Studying stories told through film\, journalism\, and popular non-fiction\, Murty argues that Hindu nationalism and neo-liberalism are conjoined\, and that consent for this political economy project is crucially won in the domain of popular culture. \n \nAttendance is hybrid and can be in-person in Humanities 1 210 or virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Abolition. Feminism. Now. with Angela Davis\, Gina Dent\, Erica Meiners\, and Beth Richie.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with abolitionist scholars Angela Davis\, Gina Dent\, Erica Meiners\, and Beth Richie as they discuss their new book\, Abolition. Feminism. Now. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Free tickets available online. Tickets and admission details to be announced. Please familiarize yourself in advance with the full COVID-19 protocols required for admission. \nAs a politic and a practice\, abolition increasingly shapes our political moment—halting the construction of new jails and propelling movements to divest from policing. Yet erased from this landscape are not only the central histories of feminist—usually queer\, anti-capitalist\, grassroots\, and women of color—organizing that continue to cultivate abolition but a recognition of the stark reality: abolition is our best response to endemic forms of state and interpersonal gender and sexual violence. Amplifying the analysis and the theories of change generated from vibrant community based organizing\, Abolition. Feminism. Now. surfaces necessary historical genealogies\, key internationalist learnings\, and everyday practices to grow our collective and flourishing present and futures. Abolition. Feminism. Now. is available for purchase online or in person at Bookshop Santa Cruz. \nThis conversation is sponsored by the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, The Humanities Institute\, Feminist Studies\, and Bookshop Santa Cruz as part of the Andrew W. Mellon funded Visualizing Abolition initiative UC Santa Cruz. \nAbout the Speakers: \nAngela Y.

The editor of Black Popular Culture\, and a prison abolition activist for more than 25 years\, Dent is also the director of UC Santa Cruz’s groundbreaking public scholarship initiative\, Visualizing Abolition\, an art and education project aimed at shifting the social attachment to prisons. \n  \nErica R.

Protecting Innocence in a Carceral State\, 2016.

Richie is Director of the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy\, and Professor of Black studies and criminology\, law\, and justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
