SUMMARY:Christopher Silver – Recording History: Jews\, Muslims\, and Music across Twentieth-Century North Africa
DESCRIPTION:In Recording History\, Christopher Silver provides the first history of the music scene and recording industry across twentieth century Morocco\, Algeria\, and Tunisia. In doing so\, he offers striking insights into Jewish-Muslim relations through the rhythms that animated them. For more than six decades\, thousands of phonograph records flowed across North African borders. The sounds embedded in their grooves were shaped in large part by Jewish musicians\, who gave voice to a changing world around them. Their popular songs broadcast on radio\, performed in concert\, and circulated on disc carried with them the power to delight audiences\, stir national sentiments\, and frustrate French colonial authorities. In asking what North Africa once sounded like\, Silver will introduce the UCSC community to a world of many voices\, whose music defined their era and still resonates into our present. \nChristopher Silver is the Segal Family Assistant Professor in Jewish History and Culture in the Department of Jewish Studies at McGill University. He earned his PhD in History from UCLA. Recipient of grants from the Posen Foundation\, the American Academy of Jewish Research\, the American Institute for Maghrib Studies\, and the Association for Recorded Sound Collections\, Silver is the author of numerous articles on North African history and music\, including in the International Journal of Middle East Studies\, Jewish Social Studies\, and Hespéris-Tamuda. He is also the founder and curator of the website Gharamophone.com\, a digital archive of North African records from the first half of the twentieth century. His first book Recording History: Jews\, Muslims\, and Music Across Twentieth Century North Africa was published in June 2022 with Stanford University Press. \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. \nRSVP by 11 AM on the day of the colloquium\, and you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:C. Nadia Seremetakis – A Journey through Border Spaces of the Everyday
DESCRIPTION:This talk is co-sponsored by the Department of Anthropology  \nThe border is the shared topos of the anthropologist\, the historian\, the archaeologist\, the artist\, the musician and the poet\, as they all bring into dialogue the past and future with the present\, the inside with the outside\, the particular with the general\, ideas with the senses. This lecture explores border and trauma spaces through a journey of antiphonic witnessing and memory as a way of (re)establishing a self-reflexive relationship with the past that changes the positioning of the present. Drawing on 30 years of conscious and unconscious fieldwork\, writing\, teaching and practicing multimedia public anthropology\, I reflect on my own antinomic subject position in my discipline as a so called “native\,” or “indigenous” ethnographer and also as a diasporic\, American-trained\, post-Boasian anthropologist. \nC. Nadia Seremetakis is Professor of cultural anthropology and the author of seven books including poetry. She is best known for her ethnographies The Senses Still\, The Last Word: Women Death Divination\, and Sensing the Everyday\, written in two languages. Born and raised in Greece\, she studied and taught in New York where she lived for more than two decades and later joined the University of the Peloponnese.  She has conducted fieldwork in various parts of the world and to this day  she divides her life between USA and Europe. \n  \n\n \n\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. \nRSVP by 11 AM on the day of the colloquium\, and you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Ecological Utopia: From the Victorians to Us with Professor Deanna K. Kreisel
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Friends of the Dickens Project for our spring Friends Faculty Fellowship talk series by Associate Professor Deanna K. Kreisel (University of Mississippi) who will be discussing “Ecological Utopia: From the Victorians to Us.” \nOver the course of three sessions\, we will have an opportunity to explore Victorian responses to their changing environment\, with a particular focus on William Morris’s utopian novel News from Nowhere. \nVirtual Sessions | Zoom Registration \n\nApril 8: Research Talk: It’s the End of the World and We Know It: Ecological Grief and the Work of Utopia\nMay 6: William Morris’ News from Nowhere\, Chapters 1-20\nJune 10: Discussion: News from Nowhere Chapters 21-32\, excerpts from Half-Earth Socialism by Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass\n\nThe first session will consist of a presentation about my current research. I am currently working on a book entitled It’s the End of the World and We Know It: Ecological Grief and the Work of Utopia\, which is about ecological mourning and utopian thinking from the Victorian period to the present. The book begins with a discussion of the ‘utopia craze’ of the late 19th century—of which Morris’s novel was a key part—and also discusses the work of John Ruskin and other early environmentalist writers. The latter part of the book explores recent and present-day responses to ecological change\, including literary responses\, and considers our own “ecological mourning” as a legacy of Victorian thinking. It ends with a discussion of recent on-the-ground ecotopian experiments. \nThe second and third sessions will consist of an in-depth discussion of News from Nowhere. In Session Two we will discuss the first half of Morris’s novel and contemporary Victorian responses to it; in the final session we will discuss the second half of the novel alongside some short excerpts from recent writers on climate grief and ecotopia. \nDeanna Kreisel is Associate Professor of English and co-director of Environmental Studies at the University of Mississippi. She is the author of ‘Economic Woman: Demand\, Gender\, and Narrative Closure in Eliot and Hardy\,’ as well as articles on Victorian literature and culture in PMLA\, Representations\, ELH\, Novel\, Mosaic\, Victorian Studies\, Nineteenth Century Literature\, and elsewhere. She is the co-editor\, along with Devin Griffiths\, of a special Victorian Literature and Culture issue on “Open Ecologies” and the volume ‘After Darwin: Literature\, Theory\, and Criticism in the Twenty-First Century.’
