SUMMARY:Lauren Berlant: Sex\, or the Unbearable — a faculty-graduate student seminar
DESCRIPTION:Sex\, or the Unbearable (Duke University Press\, 2013) is a dialogue between Lauren Berlant and Lee Edelman\, two leading theorists of sexuality\, politics and culture. In juxtaposing sex and the unbearable they don’t propose that sex is unbearable\, but that it unleashes unbearable contradictions\, which we nonetheless struggle to bear. Through interpretations of works of cinema\, photography\, critical theory\, and literature\, Berlant and Edelman explore what it means to live with negativity\, with those divisions that may be irreparable. Together\, they consider how such negativity affects politics\, theory and intimately felt encounters. \nLauren Berlant is George M. Pullman Distinguished Service Professor of English at the University of Chicago. She is the author of Cruel Optimism\, The Female Complaint\, and The Queen of America Goes to Washington City\, all also published by Duke University Press. \nLee Edelman is Fletcher Professor of English Literature at Tufts University. He is the author of L’impossible Homosexuel; No Future\, also published by Duke University Press; and Homographesis. \nThe book is available at the Literary Guillotine\, on the DUP web site\, as an e-book and for download at https://anonfiles.com/file/2cdfec2994dea16fa6535d23ce016801. \nThe seminar aspires for people to have read the entire (short!) book but welcomes readers of the introduction\, chapter 3 and the afterword. For more information please contact Carla Freccero\, freccero@ucsc.edu and Deborah Gould\, dbgould@ucsc.edu. \nCo-sponsored by Oakes College and the Center for Cultural Studies. Staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Affect Across the Disciplines II
DESCRIPTION:Affect Studies offers new opportunities to traverse the boundaries between the humanities\, social sciences\, and engineering. This year’s panel features presentations by UCSC graduate students whose varying approaches to the study of “affect” demonstrate the breadth of the field and its interdisciplinary possibility. \nErin Gray (History of Consciousness): “The White Flesh of the World: Affect and Racialization” \nErin researches white supremacist visual and material culture and she is currently thinking about the relationship between lynching\, the U.S. culture industry\, and the development of monopoly capitalism. \nLaurel Peacock (Literature): “Affect and Poetics”\nLaurel is working on a dissertation on affect in contemporary feminist poetry. \nPascal Emmer (Sociology): “Talkin’ ‘Bout Meta-Generation: ACT UP History and Queer Futurity”\nPascal is interested in the nexus of affect\, generation\, queer activist histories and futures\, oral history\, and the politics of memory. \nBen Samuel (Computer Science): “Affect and Expressive Intelligence”\nBen will discuss two research projects in development at UCSC’s Expressive Intelligence Studio\, which not only make use of sate of the art AI systems to model affect\, but are playable media experiences which afford the user opportunities for self reflection on affect in their own lives. \nPlease join us for a sensorium of refreshments! \nFor information about the research cluster\, please contact dbgould@ucsc.edu or freccero@ucsc.edu. \nStaff support for this event is provided by the IHR staff.
