SUMMARY:Renée Fox – The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature
DESCRIPTION:Victorian Necromancies with Professor Renée Fox \nAs part of the series “Victorian Necromancies\,” Professor Fox will lead three sessions that offer the Friends an opportunity to explore the Victorian gothic\, one of her favorite genres of 19th-century literature. \nFrom Professor Fox: “The first session will be a presentation on my forthcoming book\, The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature\, and the second two sessions will be discussions of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (1897). Although I don’t write about Dracula very much in my book\, I chose it for these sessions for a few reasons: as an Irishman living in London for much of his adult life\, Stoker has always been important to my work on the intersections between Irish and British writing at the end of the 19th century\, and Dracula is a deeply weird novel that I think everyone should read and talk about. I’m also really interested in adaptation (I think about it as a form of reanimation)\, and Dracula offers a fantastic opportunity not just to talk about the text’s many adaptations across the last 125 years\, but also to talk about the novel’s own investments in questions of originality and reproduction.” \nRenée Fox is an assistant professor in the Literature Department at UC Santa Cruz\, where she teaches classes in Victorian Studies\, Irish Studies\, the gothic\, and popular culture. She is the 2022 Autumn Friends of the DickensProject Faculty Fellow. \nVirtual Sessions \n\n\n\nBook Talk: The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature\nOctober 2\, 20222:00 PM PDT\n\n\n\nDiscussion: Dracula (Beginning to Chapter 16)\nNovember 6\, 20222:00 PM PST\n\n\n\nDiscussion: Dracula (Chapter 17 to End)\nDecember 4\, 20222:00 PM PST\n\n\n\n\nMore Information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/programs/friends-faculty-fellows/victorian-necromancies.html \nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUkf–hpz8rEtTZRTrhuGsHGRsIQJSVlahR

SUMMARY:Era of Gold\, Era of Empire: In the World of Ramses 'the Great'
DESCRIPTION:The Bay Area’s De Young Museum is one of the stops on the US tour of the spectacular Egyptian art show ‘Ramses the Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs\,’ on view now through February 12\, 2023. In this talk at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History\, Dr. Elaine Sullivan\, an Egyptologist and Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Cruz\, will outline the larger political and religious world of Pharaoh Ramses II\, as well as introduce some of the other major historical figures museum visitors will encounter when visiting the show – including the powerful women of his reign (such as his ‘great royal wife’ Nefertari and the king’s mother Tuya) and the master craftsman Sennedjem who decorated the royal tombs of Ramses and his father Sety\, and whose own gorgeous painted wooden coffin is in the show. \n \nProfessor Sullivan’s talk is free and open to the public. \nThe talk is organized by The Humanities Institute and co-sponsored by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (MAH) and UC Santa Cruz Special Collections. \nPhoto Credit: Michael Newman\, Ramesses II (The Luxor Temple) \n

SUMMARY:Nidhi Mahajan – A Burning Sea: Arbitrage and a Fractured Moral Economy in the Persian Gulf
DESCRIPTION:Wooden sailing vessels or dhows have long traversed The Indian Ocean\, making it what some scholars have called “the cradle of globalization.” Today\, dhows or vahans from Kachchh in western India continue along old Indian Ocean routes as crucial intermediaries in global shipping. This talk traces how this mobile trade network is anchored or moored in specific places and economic concepts in some moments\, and unmoored in others. Focusing on arbitrage\, long a strategy used by Indian Ocean merchants\, I argue that value in the contemporary dhow trade is created through a fractured moral economy. Tracing the movement of one dhow across the Indian Ocean during the COVID-19 pandemic\, I argue that sanctions regimes\, and questions of jurisdiction at sea in the Persian Gulf have created a geopolitical climate in which value is produced at multiple scales through the intersection of these logics\, the body of the sailor becoming the site for capturing value and crafting sovereignty at sea. \nNidhi Mahajan’s research focuses on the intersection between political economy\, sovereignty\, and mobility in the Indian Ocean. She is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of California-Santa Cruz. She is also an artist and has developed multi-media exhibitions in Kenya\, India\, and the UAE. Her work has been funded by the Wenner-Gren\, SSRC\, ACLS/Mellon\, and a fellowship at The Africa Institute\, Sharjah. Publications include work in journals such as Comparative Studies of South Asia\, Africa\, and the Middle East; Island Studies Journal\, and edited volumes such as Reimaging Indian Ocean Worlds and World on the Horizon. \n \n  \n  \n  \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. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.
