SUMMARY:Graduate Friday Forum with Aaron Franklin
DESCRIPTION:Transcendental Sentimentalism – An Introduction \nBroadly construed\, moral sentimentalism is the position that human emotions or sentiments play a crucial role in our best normative or descriptive accounts of moral value or judgements thereof. With this presentation\, Aaron introduces and sketches a defense of a novel form of more sentimentalism he calls “Transcendental Sentimentalism.” According to transcendental sentimentalism\, being in an emotional state about an object is a necessary condition of the possibility of a subject counting as having non-inferential evaluative knowledge about that object. In unpacking each component of this position\, he argues that it is both distinct from and more explanatorily attractive than the other approaches to explaining the relationship between emotion and moral thought. \nAaron Franklin is a PhD candidate in philosophy. His research concerns the metaphysics of norms and the relationship between emotion and evaluative thought. In addition to writing his dissertation\, Aaron works with the Center for Public Philosophy on a project examining the role that motivated reasoning plays in our public discourse. \nFriday Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. For questions\, email fridayforum.ucsc@gmail.com. \nFriday Forum is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments: HAVC\, Literature\, History of Consciousness\, Psychology\, and Education

SUMMARY:Reading Seminar with On Barak\, "Strands of Tentacular Thinking"
DESCRIPTION:The “Race\, Violence\, Inequality\, and the Anthropocene” Research Cluster invites faculty and graduate students to a reading seminar with On Barak\, Senior Lecturer in the History Department at Tel Aviv University. Dr. Barak is a historian of the modern Middle East\, specializing in the introduction of science and technology into non-Western settings. He is the author of On Time: Technology and Temporality in Modern Egypt (UC Press\, 2013).  We will be meeting in Humanities 408\, on Thursday\, November 16\, from 4:00-6:00 pm. \nStrands of Tentacular Thinking: \nWhat can the non-Western humanities offer in the face of climate change – a phenomenon usually situated squarely in the domain of technoscience and entrenched in the fossil-fueled European Industrial Revolution and capitalism? A chapter-draft from On Barak’s book project Coalonialism grapples with such questions by drawing on nineteenth-century translations of geology books into Arabic and Ottoman Turkish. The reading seminar puts this chapter in dialogue with works by Donna Haraway and Peter Godfrey-Smith. Read together\, these texts constitute an attempt to recruit the octopus – a creature whose arms are said to be smarter than its brain – to reconsider imperial flows of concepts and power.​ \nSeminar readings: \nStaying with Trouble – Donna Haraway  \nThe Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life – Peter Godfrey-Smith  \n

SUMMARY:Slow Seminar on Race\, Violence\, Inequality and the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:2016-2017 SLOW SEMINARS \nRACE\, VIOLENCE\, INEQUALITY AND THE ANTHROPOCENE \nThe contemporary moment is marked by global environmental change\, the collapse of states and the reconfiguration of economies. This era\, where human disturbances asymmetrically affect all ecosystems\, is increasingly being called the ‘Anthropocene.’ We approach Anthropocene conditions as inextricably linked to long-term histories of plant and animal domestication\, and to more recent histories of European colonialism\, transatlantic slavery and capitalism. Via a year-long slow seminar and a series of public events\, we hope to enrich conversations about the Anthropocene – as term\, concept\, and historical era – by bringing together diverse bodies of scholarship\, in particular decolonial and postcolonial theory. This re-politicizes the Anthropocene as an object of study\, making race and empire\, capitalism and colonialism\, and social inequality and violence central to the story of ecological transformation. \nSEMINAR 2: \nTuesday March 7th\, 1-3pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 408 \nSeminar readings: \nElizabeth Povinelli\, Geontologies: A Requiem to Late Liberalism (Duke University Press\, 2016) \nNB: We will be reading the whole book. Copies have been ordered at the Literary Guillotine and can be purchased there. \nSponsored by the IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality and the Anthropocene

SUMMARY:Language Program Colloquium with Midori Ishida
DESCRIPTION:This paper explores the issue of roles of social interaction for developing pragmatic competence in a second language. As an example\, it examines interactions between a learner of Japanese and native speakers\, focusing on ‘receipts’\, or a kind of listener responses (e.g. soo desu ne [That’s true]). A learner’s conversations recorded during one-year study abroad in Japan and recorded in the U.S. before and after the period were analyzed using conversation analysis. Even though corrective feedback was rarely provided to the learner’s inappropriate receipt use\, his interlocutor’s next-turn action served as implicit feedback and provided him an opportunity for a more competent action. Moreover\, although not interactionally modified\, the interlocutor’s utterances and embodied actions provide comprehensible linguistic resources that the L2 speaker can draw on when performing similar actions. \nMidori Ishida earned her Ph.D. in Second Language Acquisition at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Her research interests include interlanguage pragmatics\, conversation analysis\, and the roles of interaction in second language acquisition. Her works have been published in Language Learning\, Pragmatics and Language Learning\, the Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics\, and other edited books. She is currently teaching Japanese at Santa Clara University.
