SUMMARY:Lisa Wedeen - Whose Dialectic? Thinking with Fanon\, Žižek\, and Al Attar
DESCRIPTION:This talk begins with a question inspired by the work of the anthropologist David Scott\, as to whether radical social transformation can remain a credible historical possibility if it is not undergirded by a belief in teleology. Does collectively willed transformation—the kind to which leftist and anticolonial movements have traditionally aspired—become unthinkable absent some degree of confidence in the arc of History bending toward social amelioration on its own? And if not\, how do we begin adjudicating what counts as an emancipatory politics today? Put another way\, this talk searches for forms that political hope might take in the disappointing and exhausted ruins of our postcolonial and post-socialist present. It approaches answers to these questions by examining a core concept in key narratives of leftist collective transformation\, that is\, by exploring anew the promise and limitations of “the dialectic.” It puts Frantz Fanon and Slavoj Žižek into conversation with the playwright Mohammad Al Attar\, whose play While I Was Waiting not only shows us the dialectic in action\, but in so doing offers a compelling approach to political transformation in the present. \n \nThis event will be hybrid. Register above to join via zoom. \nLisa Wedeen is a political scientist and the Mary R. Morton Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. Known for her influential work on symbolic politics\, authoritarianism\, and the Middle East—particularly Syria—she combines interpretive methods with grounded ethnographic research. She is the author of Ambiguities of Domination\, Peripheral Visions\, and numerous widely cited articles that have shaped debates in comparative politics and political theory. \n\nCo-presented by the Center for the Middle East and North Africa and the History of Consciousness Department

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Patricia de Santana Pinho
DESCRIPTION:We Bring Home the Roots: African American Women Touring Brazil and Bearing their Nation\nPatricia de Santana Pinho\, Associate Professor\, UC Santa Cruz  \nThe talk presents a chapter of my nearly completed book manuscript Diaspora Detours: African American Roots Tourism in Brazil. Previous chapters examine the effects of national identities on the connections between black diaspora communities. In this chapter I analyze how gender impacts these transnational relations while simultaneously differentiating the experiences of female and male travelers. Analyzing why and how women travel is important in deconstructing the implicitly masculinist abstract tourist subject. At the same time\, by focusing on women travelers\, it is crucial not to confirm men as the norm that goes unexamined and unquestioned. While the chapter looks more closely at women\, it does so in order to examine how travel and tourism function as fundamentally gendered and embodied practices\, which in turn contribute to the gendering of the black diaspora. \n  \nPatricia de Santana Pinho\, Associate Professor in LALS\, is a Brazilian social scientist whose research focuses on topics of blackness\, whiteness\, racism\, anti-racism\, tourism\, and the black diaspora. She is author of Mama Africa: Reinventing Blackness in Bahia (Duke University Press\, 2010). \n  \nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Spring 2017 Schedule:\nMay 4th: Doris Leibetseder\, “QT Reproduction: Queen and Transgender Use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies”\nMay 17th: Susan O’Neal Stryker\, “What Transpires Now: Transgender History and the Future We Need”\nJune 1st: Patricia de Santana Pinho\, “We Bring Home the Roots: African American Women Touring Brazil and Bearing their Nation”

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Doris Leibetseder
DESCRIPTION:QT Reproduction: Queen and Transgender Use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies \nDoris Leibetseder\, Visiting Scholar\, UC Berkeley  \nIn this paper I present part of an allied queer-feminist and transgender ethics of reproduc-tion. I look at ARTs and how they raise challenges for transgender and queer people. My focus lies in the ways these technologies confront queer and people with normative expectations concerning biological sex\, gender\, sexuality\, kinship relations and the right to procreate\, and how this leads to medical migration. This presentation gives an overview of my new EU-funded (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) project starting August 2017 at Uppsala University: “Towards an Inclusive Common European Framework for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): Queer Transgender Reproduction in the Age of ART.” \n  \nDoris Leibetseder is a researcher at the University of Uppsala\, Sweden in the Centre for Gender Research and a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley\, CSMTS (Center for Science\, Technology\, Medicine and Society). \n  \nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Spring 2017 Schedule:\nMay 4th: Doris Leibetseder\, “QT Reproduction: Queen and Transgender Use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies”\nMay 17th: Susan O’Neal Stryker\, “What Transpires Now: Transgender History and the Future We Need”\nJune 1st: Patricia de Santana Pinho\, “We Bring Home the Roots: African American Women Touring Brazil and Bearing their Nation”

SUMMARY:A Conversation & Book Party for Neda Atanasoski with Lisa Rofel & Shelley Stamp
DESCRIPTION:When is a war not a war? When it is undertaken in the name of democracy\, against the forces of racism\, sexism\, and religious and political persecution? This is the new world of warfare that Neda Atanasoski observes in Humanitarian Violence\, different in name from the old imperialism but not so different in kind. In particular\, she considers U.S. militarism—humanitarian militarism—during the Vietnam War\, the Soviet-Afghan War\, and the 1990s wars of secession in the former Yugoslavia. \nWhat this book brings to light—through novels\, travel narratives\, photojournalism\, films\, news media\, and political rhetoric—is in fact a system of postsocialist imperialism based on humanitarian ethics. Humanitarian Violence identifies an emerging discourse of race that focuses on ideological and cultural differences and makes postsocialist and Islamic nations the potential targets of U.S. disciplining violence.\n  \nThe Introduction and Chapter 4 will be available to read prior to the talk at:\nhttp://feministstudies.ucsc.edu/news-events/news/neda-book-2014.html \nPlease join us for a small reception in the Feminist Studies library following the reading.\n  \nNeda Atanasoski is an Associate Proressor in the Feminist Studies Department at UCSC. Her research and teaching interests are in the areas of U.S and Eastern European media and cultural studies\, with a focus on the politics of religion and sexuality\, postsocialism\, human rights and humanitarianism\, and war and nationalism. Professor Atanasoski’s current research project\, in collaboration with Kalindi Vora (UCSD)\, takes up the relationship between notions of the “network” and “revolution” in the postsocialist era as they assess the ethical frames and moral imperatives undergirding current-day modes of waging war\, biomedical modes of extending life\, and understanding the politics of dissent and consent that both use and critique the “revolutionary” technologies associated such social and political shifts of our postsocialist era.\n  \nConversation and book reading presented by the Feminist Studies Department.
