SUMMARY:Debbora Battaglia: "Roots in Air: People/Plants/Ethics in Suspension"
DESCRIPTION:“Roots in Air: People/Plants/Ethics in Suspension” \nOut of the urban ruins and food deprivation of World War II came the prototype for growing plants aeroponically. Aeroponics has since taken surprising turns as a technology for anthropocenic conditions – in Global South laboratories; “vertical gardens”; art installations; plant biology experiments for colonizing the cosmos. In its wake\, questions open concerning the ethics of plant-people relations in future-making projects. \nDebbora Battaglia is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at Mt. Holyoke College. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Cultural Studies Talk with Erick Lyle: "Streetopia and Beyond"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cultural Studies Presents: \nStreetopia and Beyond\nA Talk by Eric Lyle \n3-5 pm\nMonday\, February 27\nHumanities 1\, 210 \nWhat does community control look like? How do we organize to build power on a neighborhood level today? In the new Trump Era\, cities like Los Angeles\, New York\, and San Francisco have rushed to reassure that their governments intend to oppose new restrictive federal immigration policies and to reinforce these cities’ status as Sanctuary Cities. But as homeless sweeps and evictions continue to endanger communities of working class and people of color\, we have to ask what does “sanctuary” mean in the era of rampant displacement? Author Erick Lyle suggests the path to resisting Trump Administration policies lies in doubling down on existing anti-gentrification efforts and organizing on a hyperlocal basis to seize community control of development\, housing\, planning\, and utilities. Join Lyle for a discussion of the possibilities for resistance in neighborhood organizing and for a look at the author’s work on Streetopia\, a massive anti-gentrification art fair that took place in San Francisco in 2012\, and brought together residents of the city’s Tenderloin with over a hundred artists and activists to actualize mutual aid-based community projects and to consider utopian aspiration for the city. \nErick Lyle is a writer\, curator\, musician\, and underground journalist. His work has appeared in Art in America\, Vice\, California Sunday Magazine\, Huck\, LA Weekly\, Brooklyn Rail\, and on NPR’s This American Life. Since 1991\, he has written\, edited\, and published the influential punk/activist/art/crime magazine\, SCAM\, and he was a frequent contributor to the arts and literary section of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has played on some 30 records by at least a dozen bands.  He currently lives in Brooklyn\, NY.

SUMMARY:Christopher Newfield: "After the Great Mistake: Fixing Public Universities in the Trump Administration"
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Newfield’s (Professor of literature and American studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara) new book\, “The Great Mistake\,“ shows how privatization has weakened the educational quality and the budgetary stability of public universities and wrecked their true public mission.  But how can they recover during an administration that promises to accelerate privatization in every arena? Newfield argues that universities should use this period to rebuild their public purpose from the ground up\, with special attention to the non-college voters that allegedly turned the election towards Donald J. Trump. \nCo-Sponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies and the Santa Cruz Faculty Association.

SUMMARY:The Devil's Wheels: Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic
DESCRIPTION:“The Devil’s Wheels Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic” by Sasha Disko \nDuring the high days of modernization fever\, among the many disorienting changes Germans experienced in the Weimar Republic was an unprecedented mingling of consumption and identity: increasingly\, what one bought signaled who one was. Exemplary of this volatile dynamic was the era’s burgeoning motorcycle culture. With automobiles largely a luxury of the upper classes\, motorcycles complexly symbolized masculinity and freedom\, embodying a widespread desire to embrace progress as well as profound anxieties over the course of social transformation. Through its richly textured account of the motorcycle as both icon and commodity\, The Devil’s Wheels teases out the intricacies of gender and class in the Weimar years. \n\nSasha Disko is a historian and independent scholar. She is an alumnus of UCSC (BA in History and German Studies\, 1997) and received her PhD in History from New York University. She has been living and working in Germany since 2008. Her research interests include the history of motorization\, industrialization\, business administration\, and leisure. She currently lives in Hamburg\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Anna Tsing & Isabelle Carbonell: “‘Golden Snail Opera’: The More-than-human Performance of Friendly Farming on Taiwan’s Lanyang Plain”
DESCRIPTION:Written by Anna Tsing\, Isabelle Carbonell\, Joelle Chevrier and Yen-ling Tsai (Associate Professor of Anthropology at National Chaio Tung University Taiwan)\, Golden Snail Opera combines video and performance-oriented text into a genre-bending o-pei-la.

SUMMARY:Bernard Stiegler: "Beyond the Anthropocene"
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to think in a state of emergency? \nThis is now a pressing question when the Anthropocene disrupts the biosphere where we – permanently connected and algorithmically controlled – live in a permanent state of emergency\, universal\, and unpredictable. \nLunch will be provided at 11am in Humanities 1\, Room 202. \nTwo theses will be addressed:\n– On the one hand\, to think in the Anthropocene\, one must rethink the Anthropocene itself\, and to rethink the Anthropocene\, we must think beyond the Anthropocene\, which is a dead end.\n– On the other hand\, beyond the Anthropocene\, there is the Neguanthropocene\, a coming era in which thinking means taking care (in French\, « panser » ; in German « sorgen »).\nThis is what will be expressed by an untranslatable neologism\, a neologism not unrelated to Jacques Derrida’s concept of « differance » : in the Anthropocene\, thought becomes « la p(a)nsée ». \nBernard Stiegler will also have an event at 4pm in Porter 245 were he will talk about digital studies at the Visual and Media Cultures Colloquium. \nRespondents: Hayden White\, Wlad Godzich\, and Anna Tsing. \nSponsored by: Computation\, Culture\, and Games Research Cluster\, Center for Cultural Studies\, Institute for Humanities Research\, Arts Division\, DANM\, and Film & Digital Media. \nBernard Stiegler directs the Institut de recherche et d’innovation du Centre Pompidou and is president of the Ars Industrialis association.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Sherene Seikaly
DESCRIPTION:Men of Capital examines British-ruled Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s through a focus on economy. In a departure from the expected histories of Palestine\, this book illuminates dynamic class constructions that aimed to shape a pan-Arab utopia in terms of free trade\, profit accumulation\, and private property. And in so doing\, it positions Palestine and Palestinians in the larger world of Arab thought and social life\, moving attention away from the limiting debates of Zionist-Palestinian conflict. \nProfessor Sheren Seikaly is a historian of capitalism\, consumption\, and development in the modern Middle East. She is Assistant Professor of History at UC Santa Barbara. She previously taught at the American University in Cairo. She is Co-founder and Co-editor of the important journal Jadaliyaa. \nUC Santa Cruz’s Center for Emerging Worlds and the Center for Cultural Studies present this new series\, “Book Talks\,” which invites authors to read from their books and engage in discussion.

SUMMARY:Anna Tsing: "The Mushroom at the End of the World"
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Emerging Worlds and the Center for Cultural Studies present the new series\, “Book Talks\,” which invites authors to read from their books and engage in discussion. Next week we present Anna Tsing reading from “The Mushroom at the End of the World.” \nA tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes\, “The Mushroom at the End of the World” follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. In all its contradictions\, the matsutake mushroom offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: what manages to live in the ruins we have made? By investigating one of the world’s most sought-after fungi\, The Mushroom at the End of the World presents an original examination in to the relation between capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within multispecies landscapes\, the prerequisite for continuing life on earth. \nAnna Tsing is Professor of Anthropology at UCSC and a Neils Bohr Professor at Aarhus University in Denmark\, where she codirects Aarhus University Research on the Anthropocene (AURA). She is author of “Friction” and “In the Realm of the Diamond Queen.”

SUMMARY:Book Talks - Gil Anidjar: "Blood: A Critique of Christianity"
DESCRIPTION:Blood\, according to Gil Anidjar\, maps the singular history of Christianity. As a category for historical analysis\, blood can be seen through its literal and metaphorical uses as determining\, sometimes even defining Western Culture\, politics\, and social practice and their wide-ranging incarnations in nationalism\, capitalism\, and the law. Flowing across multiple boundaries\, infusing them with violent precepts that we must address\, blood undoes the presumed oppositions between religion and politics\, economy and theology\, and kinship and race. \nDr. Anidjar is professor of Religion\, Comparative Literature\, and Middle Eastern\, South Asian\, and African Studies at Columbia University. His books include The Jew\, The Arab: A History of the Enemy and Semites: Race\, Religion\, Literature. \nUC Santa Cruz’s Center for Emerging Worlds and the Center for Cultural Studies present this new series\, Book Talks\, which invites authors to read from their books and engage in discussion. Please visit the Center for Emerging Worlds’ website for more information on their work.

SUMMARY:Joes Segal: "Post-Socialist Monuments: A Heavy Heritage"
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies and the Socialism/Postsocialism Research Cluster presents Joes Segal \nLike street names\, public monuments tend to celebrate historical heroes and events that are deemed exemplary for the present state and the future direction of society. Taken together\, they constitute a canon of collective memory. However\, this canon is seldom uncontested\, and in times of revolution or regime change the new political leaders often try to redefine history in order to support their worldview and claim to power. Old heroes\, symbols and monuments suddenly become obsolete while new ones are created to evoke a sense of historical rupture or a brand new vision of historical continuity. Taking the fate of socialist monuments and their often ultra-nationalistic replacements after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union as a case study\, in this lecture I will explore the politics surrounding public monuments. \nJoes Segal is Chief Curator of The Wende Museum of the Cold War in Culver City\, CA. Segal has published extensively on Cold War culture\, German cultural history\, and art and politics in the twentieth century. He is chair of the Culture Network of the European Social Science and History Conference (ESSHC) and managing editor of the International Journal for History\, Culture and Modernity (HCM). \n  \n\nWinter 2016 Cultural Studies Colloquium Series: \nJanuary 13- Elena Gapova: “Suffering and the Soviet Man’s Search for Meaning: The “Moral Revolutions” of Svetlana Alexievich”\nJanuary 20- Nicholas Mitchell: “On Afropessimism; or\, The People Critique Makes”\nJanuary 27- Joes Segal: “Post-Socialist Monuments: A Heavy Heritage”\nFebruary 3- Jonathan Beecher: “Visions of Revolution: European Writers ad the French Revolution of 1848”\nFebruary 10- B.

SUMMARY:Elena Gapova: "Suffering and the Soviet Man's Search for Meaning: The "Moral Revolutions" of Svetlana Alexievich"
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies and the Socialism/Postsocialism Research Cluster presents Elena Gapova \nSvetlana Alexievich\, the recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature\, is known for her unique literary method that blurs the genres of oral history and documentary prose. For each book\, she conducts\, over the period of five to ten years\, between 500 and 700 interviews with witness-participants or their surviving family members. In her montage of individual narratives\, she gives a voice to several Soviet generations\, if not to an entire Soviet society that has strained to make sense of the enormous suffering it experienced during the 20th century. Together\, Alexievich’s books make up a series that she calls “The Chronicle of the Big Utopia\, or The History of the Red Man.”  Some scholars claim that Alexievich created a genre of her own\, and in this presentation\, her work is treated as a form of moral philosophy\, a way to approach ethical issues through literature. The most prominent of these seems to be the question of the meaning of suffering\, as it is encountered by a post-Soviet man at the moment when the Soviet world is crumbling and falling apart. \nElena Gapova is Associate Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Western Michigan University; Founding Director\, Centre for Gender Studies\, European Humanities University (Belarusian “university-in-exile” in Lithuania). \n  \n\nWinter 2016 Cultural Studies Colloquium Series: \nJanuary 13- Elena Gapova: “Suffering and the Soviet Man’s Search for Meaning: The “Moral Revolutions” of Svetlana Alexievich”\nJanuary 20- Nicholas Mitchell: “On Afropessimism; or\, The People Critique Makes”\nJanuary 27- Joes Segal: “Post-Socialist Monuments: A Heavy Heritage”\nFebruary 3- Jonathan Beecher: “Visions of Revolution: European Writers ad the French Revolution of 1848”\nFebruary 10- B.

SUMMARY:Lauren Berlant: "On Being in Life Without Wanting the World: On Biopolitics and the Attachment to Life"
DESCRIPTION:This talk is located in a shattered\, yet intelligible zone defined by being in life without wanting the world–a state traversing misery and detachment that\, the talk claims\, is well-known to historically structurally subordinated people (people of color\, of non-normative sexuality\, proletarianized laborers . . .). Reading with Claudia Rankine (Don’t Let Me Be Lonely)\, the novel and film of A Single Man (Christopher Isherwood\, 1964; Tom Ford\, 2009)\, and Harryette Mullen (Sleeping with the Dictionary (2002)\, it describes life at the limit of optimism in terms of a dissociative poetics. \nLauren Berlant teaches English at the University of Chicago. Her national sentimentality trilogy — The Anatomy of National Fantasy (1991)\, The Queen of America Goes to Washington City (1997) and The Female Complaint (2008) — has morphed into a quartet\, with Cruel Optimism (2011) addressing precarious publics and the aesthetics of affective adjustment in the contemporary US and Europe. Her interest in affect\, aesthetics\, and politics is also expressed in the edited volumes Intimacy (2000)\, Compassion (2004)\, and On the Case (Critical Inquiry\, 2007). Her most recent sexuality books are Desire/Love (2012) and\, with Lee Edelman\, Sex\, or the Unbearable (2014). Her current projects are to do with modes of comic and of recessive affective performance in relation to critical theory\, political emotion\, and imaginaries of the social.

SUMMARY:Clare Monagle: "Neo-medievalism and the Postcolonial: International Relations Theory and Temporality"
DESCRIPTION:Though an historian of medieval thought\, Clare Monagle’s most recent work turns to the twentieth-century and the deployment of the Middle Ages in International Relations Theory. Monagle argues that charting the medieval in this frame enables a new insight into the understanding of historical time that informs the discipline of international relations. \nClare Monagle is a graduate of Monash and the Johns Hopkins Universities. She received her PhD in 2007. She is broadly interested in history of intellectuals in the Middle Ages\, as well as the histories of the institutions that housed them. Her work is also concerned with the “medievalism” of twentieth and twenty-first century thought\, that is\, the uses to which the concept of the medieval is put within definitions of modernity and progress.

SUMMARY:Center for Cultural Studies Colloquium - Ken Selden: "'Goldfinger' and the Decline of the Classical Hollywood Narrative"
DESCRIPTION:“Goldfinger” and the Decline of the Classical Hollywood Narrative \nThe 1964 film Goldfinger\, released right after the break-up of the Hollywood studio system\, presented a new kind of narrative that did not conform to the classical Hollywood three-act model. In this talk\, I will examine how Goldfinger differed dramaturgically from the classical Hollywood style and why\, fifty years later\, the film’s artistic and financial success remains such a strong influence on almost all Hollywood production. \nKen Selden is a film and television writer/director. \n
