SUMMARY:T.J. Demos – Counterinsurgent: Cop City\, Abolition Ecology\, and the Aesthetics of Counterreform
DESCRIPTION:If “climate apartheid” is on the rise\, as Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò warns\, then Cop City Atlanta—the multimillion-dollar new police training facility built by clear-cutting the city’s largest green space—offers an ominous flashpoint. For not only is Cop City’s contested construction (which is ongoing) an exemplary story of the violent repression of community activism at the nexus of abolition\, decolonization\, and environmentalism. It also spotlights the forces of contemporary counterinsurgency—including its aesthetic modalities—that are operating to prevent any political transformation beyond the status quo. If the environmental movement is losing in the struggle to stop world-ending climate change\, then continuing to focus on practices of ecological repair is increasingly myopic\, even escapist\, without taking into account the forces blocking any meaningful change. How might a prehensive climate-justice-directed art history\, and an insurgent arts of the possible\, meaningfully respond? \nT. J. Demos is Professor in the Department of the History of Art and Visual Culture\, at University of California\, Santa Cruz\, and founding Director of its Center for Creative Ecologies. Demos is the author of several books\, including Against the Anthropocene: Visual Culture and Environment Today (Sternberg Press\, 2017); Decolonizing Nature: Contemporary Art and the Politics of Ecology (Sternberg Press\, 2016); and The Migrant Image: The Art and Politics of Documentary During Global Crisis (Duke University Press\, 2013) – winner of the College Art Association’s 2014 Frank Jewett Mather Award. He co-edited The Routledge Companion on Contemporary Art\, Visual Culture\, and Climate Change (2021)\, was a Getty Research Institute Fellow (Spring 2020)\, and directed the Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar research project Beyond the End of the World (2019-21). His new book\, Radical Futurisms: Ecologies of Collapse\, Chronopolitics\, and Justice-to-Come\, 2023\, is out from Sternberg Press. \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. \n \n

SUMMARY:Mizanur Rahman--The Mass Uprisings in Bangladesh: Youth Mobilization\, Political Possibility\, and Precarity
DESCRIPTION:Bangladesh’s recent student-led mass uprising which ousted the longstanding autocrat\, Sheikh Hasina\, from office is widely considered to have ushered in a new era in Bangladesh politics. How did the uprising\, which began with a demand for student’s job quota reform\, unfold\, and eventually turn into a mass movement? What political possibilities and precarities lie ahead for post-uprising Bangladesh? What united people of different religions\, regions\, castes\, classes\, and generations to fight against authoritarian rule? What inspired them to fearlessly confront state violence and sacrifice their lives? This talk will treat these questions about recent and unfolding political events in Bangladesh and suggest that the mass uprising has been a struggle to reclaim people’s sovereignty and to recover their right to speak and reinstate their dignity. \nMd Mizanur Rahman is a PhD candidate in Politics at UC Santa Cruz. His research focuses on liberalism and its critics\, Islamic political thought\, and religion and politics in South Asia. He is particularly interested in Bangladesh politics and has written on debates concerning Islam\, modernity\, and the politics of Islamic seminaries in Bangladesh. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies and the Center for Cultural Studies

SUMMARY:Understanding October 7\, 2023 and Israel’s War on the Gaza Strip
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Center for Jewish Studies presents an event with Joel Beinin\, Donald J. McLachlan Professor of History and Professor of Middle East History\, Emeritus at Stanford University. \nHow should we speak about the shocking October 7\, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas and its allies which killed 1\,139 people\, 61% of them Israeli civilians\, in a single day? What is the appropriate context for understanding the attack\, Israel’s massive military\, intelligence\, and first response failure and its vengeful retaliation which has resulted in nearly 42\,000 confirmed Palestinian deaths in the Gaza Strip\, some 2/3 of them women and children with plausible estimates rising as high as 186\,000? Is it possible to acknowledge the reality of the categories of “terrorism” and “genocide” while placing them in a broader historical context? \n \nDue to the anticipated high demand and limited space for this event\, in person attendance at this event will be reserved for the UC Santa Cruz campus community (staff\, faculty\, and students with a ucsc.edu email address). We will be requiring registration at the door in order to attend in person. \nFor those in the community who would like to watch Professor Beinin’s presentation\, we will be offering the event via livestream\, which you can access at: https://vimeo.com/event/4619142 \nJoel Beinin is the Donald J.

SUMMARY:Bilingual California/California Bilingüe: Fronteras y Futuros
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome Professor Ana Celia Zentella (professor emerita\, UC San Diego) to discuss the political\, social\, and educational barriers that California’s Spanish-English bilinguals must overcome to ensure a bilingual future for themselves and their children. She suggests ways that students\, parents\, teachers\, university faculty and community groups can contribute successfully. \n \nThis event is free and open to the public with free parking. \nCalifornia is the state with the largest number of Spanish speakers in the USA; the approximately 15 million Spanish speakers represent 39.09 % of the state’s population (U.S. Census Bureau\, 2024). The large numbers and long history of Spanish in California (as the official administrative language from 1542 to 1848) suggest the continuity of the language and bilingualism are ensured. But the state’s Spanish speakers\, primarily of Mexican and other increasingly diverse origins\, cross many political\, economic\, racial\, and linguistic fronteras to arrive\, survive\, and thrive in California. The bilingual future of immigrants and their children and grandchildren is impeded by multiple barriers\, beyond concrete walls at the border. We can and must ensure un futuro bilingüe with our teaching\, research\, and community outreach. \nMajor barreras include the demonization of Latinus and our Spanish and English by many – including political leaders – restrictive employment policies\, and limited educational programs. In southern California\, studies of border high school Latinus\, Anglo university students\, and transfronterizus – those who cross the border from Mexico to study in California – reveal that monolingual English speakers are not the only promoters of dismissive attitudes towards diverse ways of speaking Spanish and English. Labels like “fresas\,” “nacos\,” “sociales\,” and “pochos mochos” build intra-Latinu walls and impede bilingual fluency\, and Spanglish is widely misunderstood and maligned. \nLEVANTA LA VOZ in the classroom and the community! \nWe must advocate for effective bilingual instruction that confronts these barriers\, and organize parent workshops and dance and poetry projects that involve the community. Student and faculty research should be shared with political leaders\, newspapers\, and social media platforms. And let’s all celebrate International Mother Language Day on February 21st in creative ways. But what do you think will help guarantee el futuro bilingüe de California? \nThis event is the keynote address of the 1st Symposium on Spanish-English bilingualism in California\, which will bring together leading scholars investigating the linguistic practices and patterns of variation across Spanish-English bilinguals throughout the state of California. This inaugural symposium will serve to engage researchers in cross-campus collaborations and interdisciplinary initiatives. Please visit the Symposium event page for more information. \nAna Celia Zentella\, professor emerita (University of California\, San Diego and Hunter College)\, is an anthro-political linguist recognized for her research on US Latinu languages\, language socialization\, “Spanglish\,” and “English-only” laws. In 1996\, Manhattan Borough President Ruth Messinger declared October 30 “Doctor Ana Celia Zentella Day” for “her leading role in building appreciation for language diversity and respect for language rights.” In 2015\, the Latin American Studies Association’s Latino Section honored Zentella as Public Intellectual of the Year. In 2016\, she received the Award for Public Outreach & and Community Service from the Society for Linguistic Anthropology. Professor Zentella was Inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2022\, and received the Distinguished Career Award from the Association of Latina/o and Latinx Anthropologists in 2023. \nThis event is sponsored by the Bilingualism Research Lab\, Multilingual Hispanic Speech in CA\, the Comparative Language Sciences Project\, and the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics. \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact us at thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274 by October 4\, 2024.

SUMMARY:CLOTILDA: Resistance\, Resilience\, Remembrance\, Rebuilding
DESCRIPTION:Black divers were central to the reclamation of the Clotilda\, the last known slave ship to transport kidnapped Africans to the United States. \nIn our coastal area\, the unceded territory of the Amah Mutsun people and a place where Black servicemen and their families resettled after fighting in U.S. wars in the Pacific\, Santa Cruz Black holds space to engage with Kamau Sadiki\, a master diver with the Slave Wrecks Project\, and Joycelyn Davis\, a direct descendant through Charlie Lewis of the 110 Africans who were violently uprooted from their homes and communities. \n \nThrough a multigenerational conversation facilitated by Santa Cruz Black with Black studies students at UC Santa Cruz\, we will consider how the reclamation of the wreck was an act of resistance to the world-shattering racialized and colonial violence of chattel slavery\, an act of remembrance prompting us to consider waterways as a Black geography\, and an act of community resilience and rebuilding. \nHow does the resurfacing of the wreck challenge generations of secrecy and silence? \nHow does it upend the presumption of closure and healing? \nHow has it impacted–across generations–the people of Africatown (aka Magazine/Plateau) in Mobile\, Alabama? \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Slave Voyages project\, the Humanities Division\, John R.Lewis/College 9\, and The Humanities Institute.
