It may be well known that Sigmund Freud routinely used media metaphorically in his theories of the psychic apparatus; this talk recovers the early history of Freud’s real use of media in therapies over distance. \nZeavin reads epistolary and postal conventions in Freud’s moment\, intertwined with Freud’s own epistolary self-analysis (in correspondence with Wilhelm Fliess) and the unconventional treatment by correspondence of his only child patient\, the agoraphobic “Little Hans\,” in order to rethink the coincidental origins of psychoanalysis and teletherapy\, and to help us think through narratives of loss that attend current uses of technology to mediate therapy. \nFree and open to the campus community and the public. \nPresented by the Center for World History.

Many institutions support veterans by promoting access to student services but overlook what actually happens in the classroom. What do we need to know as instructors about student veterans’ learning practices\, literacies\, and instructional needs? This workshop will enhance your cultural competence and provide new pedagogical tools to engage and include student veterans in our classrooms. \nDr. Brenda Sanfillipo is a lecturer with the UCSC Writing Program\, Stevenson College\, and Porter College. Her research focuses on representations of war since 9/11. In addition to her academic work and teaching on contemporary warfare\, she spent five years as part of the Army community.

That amateur and champion Jewish boxers boxed at the camps to entertain SS is largely unknown\, and the few accounts are contested and contradictory. The “based on a true story” 1989 film Triumph of the Spirit shows Jews boxing fellow Jews to the death; Klieger derided the film as lies. It compelled me to investigate the complications and consequences of representing and narrativizing this horrific predicament in film. My essay blends interview and film criticism\, and reflects on which Holocaust narratives get preserved\, adapted\, or willfully winnowed away. \nLuLing Osofsky is a PhD student in the History of Art and Visual Culture program. She’s interested in how artists\, filmmakers\, curators\, and political entities represent and narrativize trauma\, destruction and disaster. \nFriday Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

While this condition is discussed much less in the literature than the relation of art to truth in Heidegger\, it is of more consequence. It is art’s inability to meet the community condition which led Heidegger to conclude that art since the Middle Ages is not great art. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of the community condition in Heidegger’s philosophy of art and explain just what the condition is. \nSteven Haug is a philosophy Phd student who works primarily on the philosophy of art\, especially 20th century German philosophy of art. His most recent project focuses on elucidating the importance of community in Heidegger’s philosophy of art. \nFriday Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

The workshop series seeks to promote collective conversations about how we teach in the humanities now\, and is open to all graduate students and faculty. \nIn the first workshop\, “Before and After: How We Redesigned a Course for Educational Equity and Active Learning\,” Alan Christy (Associate Professor of History) and Jody Greene (Professor of Literature\, Feminist Studies\, and History of Consciousness) will discuss how they transformed lecture or survey courses to enhance educational equity and active learning in their classrooms. \nTransforming “The Japanese Empire”\nAssociate Professor Alan Christy will discuss the transformation of a survey history course into a research seminar driven by the experience of discovery and focused on three key skills for researchers: asking good questions\, finding sources\, and articulating value. \nTransforming “The Eighteenth-Century English Novel”\nProfessor Jody Greene will discuss the transformation of a traditional lecture course into a small course for entering transfer students\, including the introduction of sequenced writing assignments\, structured in-class activities\, and presentations on the “hidden” aspects of the curriculum—e.g. how to take notes\, how to read for a literature course\, and how to write effectively within the discipline. \n**If you’re interested in joining the research cluster and would like to be included on the cluster email list\, please contact Jody Greene at jgreene@ucsc.edu.

Port cities around the globe\, in particular\, produced hybrid musical forms that inspired imitators and innovators elsewhere.

It is also home to multiple insurgencies\, a contested political identity\, and a law called the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA). Based on nine years of reporting from Manipur\, including more than 200 interviews\, scrutinizing dozens of court documents and testimonials\, and revisiting places and conversations\, Anubha Bhonsle paints a picture where impunity\, fake encounters\, protests and denial of memory and justice continue in an endless cycle. The book is available in the United Sates via Amazon.\n  \nPraise for the book – P Sainath: “…Anubha Bhonsle reproaches our hypocrisy but addresses our humanity.” URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/a-book-reading-and-conversation-with-anubha-bhonsle-3/ LOCATION:Humanities 2\, Room 359 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thi.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Anubha-Bhonsle.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160224T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160224T193000 DTSTAMP:20260525T142950 CREATED:20160208T211307Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160208T211307Z UID:10006341-1456336800-1456342200@thi.ucsc.edu 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.
