SUMMARY:Film Screening and Director's Discussion: Chaityabhumi
DESCRIPTION:Chaityabhumi is a holy site that holds immense importance for the Dalit movement in India\, as it is where Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s last rites were performed after his passing on December 6\, 1956. Dr Ambedkar\, often called the father of the Indian Constitution\, dedicated his life to fighting the chains of caste oppression and bringing revolutionary change. He was a guiding light for the oppressed who dismantled discriminatory barriers and empowered them to reclaim their dignity and their rightful place in society. \nThis musical film will bring to light the history and cultural politics of how people commemorate December 6 at Chaityabhumi\, Mumbai\, and the relevance of this public event in contemporary India. It explores how the Dalit community comes together to honor this day and the political implications it holds for their identity and empowerment. \nSomnath Waghmare is a Mumbai-based\, Dalit-Buddhist film researcher and documentary filmmaker. He is the co-founder of the Ambedkarite Dalit song documentation project\, ‘The Ambedkar Age Digital Bookmobile\,’ for which he was awarded the Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art Public Art Grant in 2020. He is also the founder of Begumpura Productions. His recent documentary\, Chaityabhumi\, has been screened globally\, including at the London School of Economics and Columbia University. His past films include I am not a Witch (2016)\, The Battle of Bhima Koregaon: An Unending Journey (2017)\, Memories of Mangaon (2022)\, and There is No Caste Discrimination in IITs? (2023). He is currently working on a documentary biopic on American born Indian sociologist Gail Omvedt. \n\nPresented by the Center for South Asian Studies (CSAS) and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Dolly Kikon – Abundance: Living with a Forest
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Dolly Kikon for a screening of her film Abundance: Living with a Forest and a talk about her work on Indigenous ecology in the Eastern Himalayan region. \nAbundance: Living with a Forest (2024) is a filmic biography of foraging\, forest\, and jhum cultivation in Nagaland\, a hill state in Northeast India where approximately 60% of the population depend on jhum cultivation. Jhum cultivation and foraging have been recognized as community practices of indigenous knowledge. However\, both these practices and the forest to which they are intrinsically linked have been threatened by the plantation\, monocropping\, and infrastructure activities that have surged with the ongoing ceasefire between Naga armed groups and the government. \nAbundance: Living with a Forest follows Zareno\, a Lotha forager in the forest of Khumtsü\, and traces the foraged edible plants as they make their way to the market in Wokha town. The film gestures to an impending loss that Indigenous communities encounter across the world. \nWatch the trailer here:  \n \nListen to the Title Song from the documentary: \n \nDolly Kikon is Professor of Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz and director of the Center for South Asian Studies. She is the author of Experiences of Naga Women in Armed Conflict: Narratives from a Militarized Society (2004); Life and Dignity: Women’s Testimonies of Sexual Violence in Dimapur (2015); Living with Oil and Coal: Resource Politics and Militarization in Northeast India (2019); with Bengt G. Karlsson\, Leaving the Land: Indigenous Migration and Affective Labour in India (2019); with Duncan McDuie-Ram\, Ceasefire City: Militarism\, Capitalism\, and Urbanism in Dimapur (2021); with Dixita Deka\, Joel Rodrigues\, Bengt G. Karlsson\, Sanjay Barbora\, and Meenal Tula\, Seeds and Sovereignty: Eastern Himalayan Experiences (2023). \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:Dr. Christian Alvarado - "The Storm in Kenya": The Mau Mau Uprising and pan-Africanist Thought in the mid-20th Century
DESCRIPTION:The History Department invites you to an upcoming talk by Dr. Christian Alvarado entitled “The Storm in Kenya:” The Mau Mau Uprising and pan-Africanist Thought in the mid-20th Century. \nJoin us in person from 1:30 – 3:00 pm (PT) in Humanities 1\, Room 202 or join via Zoom here. \nHistorical work on the event most commonly known as the “Mau Mau Uprising”—which roiled late-colonial Kenya in the 1950s and captivated audiences the world over—has long been preoccupied with examining the political and economic origins of anticolonial resistance in the colony\, the operations of British counter-insurgency efforts\, and the legacy of each of these for post-independence Kenyan society. In distinction to these orthodox approaches to the study of Mau Mau\, Alvarado’s current book project considers how this event impacted the political\, economic\, and cultural history of other parts of the African continent\, as well as Europe and the Americas. This talk presents an account of the role “myths of Mau Mau” played in pan-Africanist thought both within and far beyond the borders of the colony during this period. Across the globe\, understandings of this event served as a key touchstone in the attempt to forge international solidarities among communities both in support of colonial rule and those who sought to bring about its end. This talk focuses in particular on debates about Mau Mau as they arose in two important contexts in the contemporary pan-Africanist movement. First\, an array of conferences\, forums\, and political meetings held on the continent during the late 1950s and early 1960s; second\, in contemporary Garveyite political thought both in Africa and abroad. Considered together\, these visions of what George Padmore called “the Storm in Kenya” illuminate new dimensions in the transnational history of not only Mau Mau\, but African decolonization more broadly. \nDr. Christian Alvarado received his PhD in History of Consciousness at the University of California\, Santa Cruz and is President’s and Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in African American and African Studies at the University of California\, Davis. His wide-ranging research situates the event most commonly known as the Mau Mau Uprising in late-colonial Kenya within the broader history of decolonization in 20th century Africa. By tracing how understandings of this event circulated across transnational networks and cultural formations\, this work aims to show how the frameworks to which Mau Mau is put illuminate novel insights into global dimensions in the history of African decolonization. These frameworks include\, but are not limited to\, the history of the social sciences\, notions of African ‘race relations\,’ pan-Africanism\, diverse memory communities\, and conspiracist discourses. Across these seemingly disparate realms\, Alvarado argues that Mau Mau serves as a way of probing contemporary and current debates regarding the ethics of (anti)colonial violence\, the relationship between tradition and modernity\, and the nature of decolonization. A historian by training\, Dr. Alvarado’s interdisciplinary work is also in conversation with the fields of cultural studies\, comparative literature\, and political theory.

SUMMARY:Project Paradiso - Episode Sixteen – The Futures of Dante's Paradiso: Reading Forward
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Prof. Alison Cornish (New York University) and Prof. Arielle Saiber (Johns Hopkins University)\, about the challenges and opportunities of reading Dante’s Paradiso today\, particularly in\, but not limited to\, the academic context. They will explore innovative future directions to take this poem to as many readers and diverse audiences as possible\, and also why this should be done\, especially in view of the textbook that will be complied as a result of this year-long webinar series. \n \nThis event will be will be in person at Oakes Acad 105 and via Zoom (registration required). \nDante’s Paradiso is the least studied and the least understood of the three parts of the Commedia. Yet it is arguably the most important for the dynamism and originality of the literary\, theological\, and philosophical inquiries that take place there. It is also a singularly important interpretive guide for a full understanding of the entire Commedia. It is a poem that asks to be tackled by a community of engaged readers. This year-long series of webinar workshops led by world-renowned scholars took readers on a deep reading of the Paradiso and an unforgettable journey to the heart of Dante’s universe. See the Project Paradiso page for full schedule. \nFeaturing: \nAlison Cornish\, Professor of Italian Studies at New York University and President of the Dante Society of America. She is the author of Reading Dante’s Stars (Yale\, 2000)\, Vernacular Translation in Dante’s Italy: Illiterate Literature (Cambridge\, 2011) a commentary on Dante’s Paradiso\, translated by Stanley Lombardo (Hackett\, 2017)\, and Believing in Dante: Truth in Fiction (Cambridge\, 2022); as well as a number of essays on Dante\, Petrarch and Boccaccio.

SUMMARY:Jasbir Puar - Field Notes: Colonial Power at the Thresholds of Gender Studies
DESCRIPTION:The Feminist Studies Department at UC Santa Cruz is pleased to host Jasbir Puar\, Distinguished Faculty of Arts Professor\, Global Race Studies at the University of British Columbia\, presenting Field Notes: Colonial Power at the Thresholds of Gender Studies. \nJasbir Puar’s research focuses on how the liberal state\, sexuality\, and bio-politics bear on our understanding of disability. In her most recent book\, The Right to Maim\, Prof. Puar uses the concept of “debility”— bodily injury and social exclusion brought on by economic and political factors — to disrupt the category of disability\, and shows how debility\, disability\, and capacity constitute an assemblage that states use to control populations. Interrogating Israel’s policies toward Palestine\, she outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury. \nJasbir Puar is a Distinguished Faculty of Arts Professor of Global Race Studies at the University of British Columbia. Her most recent book\, The Right to Maim: Debility\, Capacity\, Disability (2017\, Duke University Press) explores how the liberal state\, sexuality\, and biopolitics bear on our understanding of disability\, culminating in an interrogation of Israel’s policies toward Palestine.
