SUMMARY:Our Mutual Friend Discussion Series: Parts VI-X
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Karen Hattaway (San Jacinto College) for a series of discussions about the book that stunned Conrad and Dostoevsky.  \nOur Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens \nSept. 25\, Oct. 23\, Nov. 27\, and Jan. 22 at 1:00-3:00 PM (PDT) | Virtual Events \nCharles Dickens published Our Mutual Friend in twenty monthly parts from May 1864 to November 1865. It was the fourteenth and final novel in his vast corpus of novels\, only to be followed by The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1870)\, which remained unfinished at the time of his death. \nMurder\, Money\, Marriage\, and Mounds… of dust\, of human refuse\, of cultural debris\, of industrial by-production. These are the grand themes and objects this novel’s world spawns\, with such horrible inevitability you will think its Thames river-mud could foster spontaneous generation. For the world of Our Mutual Friend is a dirtied and cynical place. Here\, even literacy and education–the “power of knowledge” that give heart and decency to Pip and Biddy in Great Expectations–may become\, in the wrong hands\, mechanical instruments for self-aggrandizement. And the good may need all the wiles of the bad to manufacture a happy ending. \nReading Schedule \n\n\n\nSep. 25\nBook the First: The Cup and the Lip – Chapters 1-17\, Parts I-V\n\n\n\nOct. 23\nBook the Second: Birds of a Feather – Chapters 1-16\, Parts VI-X\n\n\n\nNov. 27\nBook the Third: A Long Lane – Chapters 1-17\, Parts XI-XV\n\n\n\nJan. 22\nBook the Fourth: A Turning – Chapters 1-16\, Parts XVI-XX\n\n\n\n\nThis series of discussions is presented by the Santa Cruz Pickwick Club / Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship with support from the Santa Cruz Public Libraries. \nMore information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/resources/pickwick-club/index.html \nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIpf-mppjsuHd3RdY9mqMeH-FloGyFbM-MQ

SUMMARY:From Levi to Dante: Redefining Humanity from the Margins
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the final event of From the Margins: Dante 701 Years Later\, featuring Professor Robert Gordon (University of Cambridge) and Martin Eisner (Duke University). Moderated by Nathaniel Deutsch (UC Santa Cruz Professor and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies). \n \nFree and open to the public. Registration required. \n“Primo Levi and Dante. Cosmologies\,” by Robert Gordon (University of Cambridge): Primo Levi famously drew on Dante to map the distant and incomprehensible ‘concentrationary universe’ that he encountered at Auschwitz. Perhaps less well known is Levi’s deep fascination\, shared with Dante\, for astronomy and for the mapping of the cosmos as a tool for understanding man’s place in the wider universe\, and thus also mankind’s own history. This lecture explores Levi and Dante in parallel as two cosmologists\, both in their different ways scientists and poets of the stars. \n“Black Limbo: Dante\, Boccaccio\, and Global Ethnic Studies” by Martin Eisner (Duke University): This talk uses a fifteenth-century illumination of Dante’s limbo that portrays pagan poets with black skin to explore the relationship between medieval reflections on pagans and modern ethnic studies. Highlighting how Dante’s concern with cultural difference in both temporal and spatial terms informs Boccaccio’s elaboration of these ideas\, it shows how this accommodation of past and present pagans contrasts with earlier reflections of Augustine and Jerome\, contemporary ideas of Petrarch\, and later Fascist uses of Dante to which Primo Levi responds. \nRobert S. C. Gordon is Serena Professor of Italian at the University of Cambridge. He works on the literature\, cinema\, and cultural history of modern Italy. His books include a study of Pasolini\, several volumes on Primo Levi\, and a wider history of Italian cultural responses to the Holocaust. He has taught at Oxford and Cambridge Universities and is a former Senior Editor of the journal Italian Studies\, and a former trustee of the British School at Rome. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2015. \nMartin Eisner is Chair of Romance Studies and Professor of Italian at Duke University. He is the author of Dante’s New Life of the Book: A Philology of World Literature (Oxford UP\, 2021) and Boccaccio and the Invention of Italian Literature: Dante\, Petrarch\, Cavalcanti\, and the Authority of the Vernacular (Cambridge UP\, 2013). He is currently working on a biography of Boccaccio for Reaktion Books’s Renaissance Lives series. With a view to the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death\, he continues to develop the online research project Dante’s Library. His articles on Dante\, Boccaccio\, Petrarch\, and Machiavelli have appeared in PMLA\, Renaissance Quarterly\, Dante Studies\, Mediaevalia\, California Italian Studies\, Quaderni d’Italianistica\, Annali d’Italianistica and Le Tre Corone. His research has been supported by the Mellon Foundation\, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton\, the American Academy in Rome\, the American Philosophical Association\, and the Fulbright Foundation. \n Nathaniel Deutsch is a professor of history at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he holds the Murray Baumgarten Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies and is the Faculty Director of The Humanities Institute and the Director of the Center for Jewish Studies. Among his other books are Inventing America’s “Worst” Family: Eugenics\, Islam\, and the Fall and Rise of the Tribe of Ishmael and The Jewish Dark Continent: Life and Death in the Russian Pale of Settlement\, for which he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. \nEvent logistics: Bicycling\, car pooling\, ridesharing\, and public transportation are encouraged as parking is limited.

SUMMARY:Bettina Aptheker - Communists in Closets
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute and Bookshop Santa Cruz welcome Bettina Aptheker\, UC Santa Cruz Distinguished Professor Emerita\, for a discussion about her new book\, Communists in Closets: Queering the History 1930s-1990s\, which explores the history of gay\, lesbian\, and non-heterosexual people in the Communist Party in the United States. \n \nFree and open to the public. Registration required. \nThe Communist Party banned LGBT people from membership beginning in 1938 when it cast them off as degenerates. It persisted in this policy until 1991 when the Party split apart in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe. During this 60- year ban\, gays and lesbians who did join the Communist Party were deeply closeted within it\, as well as in their public lives as both queer and Communist. By the late 1930s the Communist Party had a membership approaching 100\,000 and tens of thousands of more people moved in its orbit through the Popular Front against fascism\, anti-racist organizing\, especially in the south\, and its widely read cultural magazine\, The New Masses. Based on a decade of archival research\, correspondence\, and interviews\, Bettina Aptheker explores this history\, also pulling from her own experience as a closeted lesbian in the Communist Party in the 1960s and 70s. Ironically\, and in spite of this homophobia individual Communists laid some of the political and theoretical foundations for lesbian and gay liberation\, and contributed significantly to peace\, social justice\, civil rights\, Black and Latinx liberation movements. \nThis book will be of interest to students\, scholars\, and general readers in political history\, gender studies and the history of sexuality. \nBettina Aptheker is Distinguished Professor Emerita\, Feminist Studies Department\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\, USA. She is the author of: Intimate Politics: How I Grew Up Red\, Fought for Free Speech and Became A Feminist Rebel (2006); and The Morning Breaks: The Trial of Angela Davis (1976; second edition 1999). \nEvent logistics: Bicycling\, car pooling\, ridesharing\, and public transportation are encouraged as parking is limited. If you drive to the event\, please plan to park in UCSC Lot #115 or 116. To reach these lots\, proceed through the main entrance to campus\, continue up the hill from the information kiosk on Coolidge\, then turn right at the Ranch View/Carriage House Road stoplight into the Carriage House/Campus Facilities parking lot. The Hay Barn is a 5-minute walk across the street from the parking lot. There will be directional signage to help you get to the correct parking lot and farm entrances. Overflow parking will be available at lot 122. Download a parking map here. \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact us at thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274 by October 18th\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Archive as Offering  – Grace L. Sanders Johnson
DESCRIPTION:This talk names the layered applications\, quotidian quality\, and refusals of physical\, psychological\, and archival violence against Haitian women during the US occupation (1915-1934). Told alongside the story of a teenage girl’s life and death\, the talk ultimately considers experimental historical practices as an opportunity to intervene in the presumed teleology of Black women’s lives through the practice of archival offering. \nGrace L. Sanders Johnson is a historian\, visual artist\, and assistant professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Her areas of study include modern Caribbean history\, transnational feminisms\, oral history\, and environmental humanities. Sanders Johnson has worked with various archival projects including Concordia University’s Oral History Project Histoire de Vie Haiti Group (Montreal) and was a 2020-2021 Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture Scholars-in-Residence Fellow. Her most recent work can be found in several journals including Small Axe: A Caribbean Journal of Criticism (2022)\, American Anthropologist (2022)\, and Caribbean Review of Gender Studies (2018). She is also the author of the forthcoming book White Gloves\, Black Nation: Women\, Citizenship\, and Political Wayfaring in Haiti (University of North Carolina Press\, 2023). \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.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Solnit\, Orwell's Roses
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz is delighted to welcome acclaimed writer Rebecca Solnit to the store for a discussion and signing of her most recent book\, Orwell’s Roses (in paperback October 18th). This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \n \nBookshop’s head book buyer\, Melinda\, says: “The gift of Rebecca Solnit is that while she writes about Orwell and his roses\, she also writes beyond them\, touching on tangential subjects with an effortless grace that is far-ranging and ever-connecting. Coming upon the surviving roses that George Orwell planted in 1936\, Solnit writes a captivating series of essays that explores Orwell’s life\, the horticulture and literature of roses\, and somehow both remarkably and classically Solnit\, how one finds balance in the beauty and struggle of 20th century humanity and today.” \nRebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books\, including the memoir Recollections of My Nonexistence and the nonfiction A Field Guide to Getting Lost\, The Faraway Nearby\, A Paradise Built in Hell\, River of Shadows\, and Wanderlust. She is also the author of Men Explain Things to Me and many essays on feminism\, activism and social change\, hope\, and the climate crisis. A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school\, she is a regular contributor to The Guardian and other publications.

DESCRIPTION:Addie Tsai in conversation with Micah Perks. \nConversations: Power Forged\, the Fall Living Writers theme\, features poets\, novelists\, academics\, curators\, and artists in conversation with one another\, in person\, across genre and media to open up a space between them\, and all of us\, within dialogue\, collaboration\, politics\, intimacy and difference which poet and activist Audre Lorde describes as that raw and powerful connection from which our personal power is forged.
