SUMMARY:Samia Khatun — Race\, Gender & New Epistemic Grounds: Cross-Cultural Encounters in Desert Australia
DESCRIPTION:At the forefront of white nationalist border regimes\, the Australian nation-state has long operated as an Anglo imperial outpost in the Indian Ocean world. If we look at Aboriginal language archives about South Asians\, however\, we see alternative epistemic grounds and spatial imaginations on which we can situate historical storytelling about race\, gender\, and migration. This presentation will follow two Muslim men into Australian deserts\, where they encountered two Aboriginal sisters waiting for a train at a lonely railway station c.1897. \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, October 14th to receive Zoom link and password. \n \nSamia Khatun became a feminist historian because she once lost her way to a mathematics lecture at the University of Sydney. Since then\, Khatun has chased truths about the past in Sydney\, Antigua\, Kolkata\, Istanbul\, Berlin\, New York\, Dunedin\, Melbourne\, London\, and Dhaka. She researches the life-worlds of people colonised by the British Empire and her documentaries have screened on ABC and SBS-TV in Australia. She is the new Chair for the Centre for Gender Studies at SOAS\, London. \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. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute. \n*2020-2021 colloquia will be held virtually until further notice. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own coffee\, tea\, and cookies to the session.

SUMMARY:Nir Shafir: How to Read in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire
DESCRIPTION:The Ottoman Empire (and the Islamic world at large) was a manuscript culture until the late nineteenth century. That is\, many Ottoman subjects continued to copy books by hand even though they had been aware of printing in European lands for centuries. In recent years\, there has been a new wave of scholarship exploring how Ottoman manuscript culture functioned in practice rather than dismissing it as a “lack” of print. Historians have been particularly interested in demonstrating that even a manuscript culture could support a large number of readers\, even if many of them only possessed a “partially literacy.” \nIn this talk\, Professor Shafir first introduces his larger book project on “manuscript pamphlets\,” which he argues to be one of the new developments in the manuscript culture of the Ottoman Empire. Manuscript pamphlets were short and polemical texts that circulated across to the empire addressing many of the controversial social and religious issues of the time. They also were often aimed at semi-educated or partially literate readers. To understand pamphlets’ significance\, however\, one has to explore first how Ottoman subjects read and were educated. He argues that although the notion of partial literacy has been quite helpful\, it continues to hold an unexamined ideology of reading\, in which all acts of reading in the Ottoman Empire are ultimately replicable and uniform. In the early modern Ottoman Empire however the process of reading differed drastically depending on a reader’s intellectual formation and schooling\, the genre\, and the language in which they read and wrote. The “partially literate” did not just read slowly or poorly\, they read texts in an actively different way than the educated. This was especially true in regard to the auxiliary sciences of language—that is\, grammar\, rhetoric\, logic\, and disputation—that madrasa-trained scholars had made a central part of a scholar’s training. Pamphlets lay at the intersection of these different types of reading and readers. \n \nNir Shafir is an assistant professor of history at the University of California\, San Diego. His research explores the cultural and intellectual life of the Ottoman Empire between 1400-1800. He is currently preparing his first monograph\, Pamphleteering Islam in the Ottoman Empire: Politics and Polemics in a Manuscript Culture\, which examines the social effects of manuscript “pamphlets” on the religious life of the Ottoman Empire. He is a member of the editorial team of the Ottoman History Podcast\, the most popular podcast on Middle Eastern and Islamic history\, and served as editor-in-chief of the podcast in 2018. \n  \nThis talk is presented by the Humanities Institute and the Center for Middle East and North Africa as part of the UC Junior Faculty Exchange Series\, sponsored by the UC Humanities Network and UC Humanities Research Institute.

SUMMARY:Kelly Gillespie\, Asher Gamedze & Rasigan Maharajh — Re/Distribute: Three Radical Economists on (Post)Apartheid (film screening + discussion)
DESCRIPTION:Two radical collectives in South Africa working inside and outside the academy to agitate against ongoing histories of dispossession consider what redistribution means in the most unequal national context on earth. This 50-minute film looks at how the promises of redistribution in the anti-apartheid liberation movement were foreclosed during the transition out of apartheid in South Africa. The film features three left economists who were active in the anti-apartheid movement but have lived through a transition in which the promise and idea of redistribution was abandoned as South Africa inserted a post-apartheid project into global processes of financialization and neoliberalization. \nWe will screen the film and then discuss it with filmmakers Asher Gamedze and Kelly Gillespie and featured economist Rasigan Maharajh. \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, October 7th to receive Zoom link and password. \n \nKelly Gillespie is a political and legal anthropologist and cultural worker with a research focus on criminal justice and abolition in South Africa. She works at the department of Anthropology at the University of the Western Cape. She writes and teaches about urbanism\, violence\, sexualities\, race\, and the praxis of social justice. In 2008 she co-founded the Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism (JWTC). \nAsher Gamedze is a cultural worker based in Cape Town\, South Africa\, working mainly as a musician\, student\, and writer. He is also involved\, as an organiser and an educator\, with various cultural and political collectives such as Fulan Fulan\, The Interim\, and Radical Education Network. His debut album\, dialectic soul\, was released in July 2020. \nRasigan Maharajh is an activist scholar whose research focuses on the political economy of innovation and development\, including the changing world of work\, democratic governance\, and ecological reconstruction. He is the founding Chief Director of the Institute for Economic Research on Innovation based at the Tshwane University of Technology and Professor Extraordinary of the Centre for Research on Evaluation\, Science and Technology at Stellenbosch University. \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.

SUMMARY:Christopher Nelson: Eisa - Drumming\, Dancing and Memory
DESCRIPTION:With the beginning of the 2020 – 2021 school term on the near horizon the OMI team is delighted to announce their next program! \nProfessor Chris Nelson (UNC Chapel Hill) will be joining OMI to discuss Eisa\, Obon\, dancing and cultural memory in contemporary Okinawa. Professor Nelson is an anthropologist who published a study of Eisa called Dancing with the Dead: Memory\, Performance and Everyday Life in Post-War Okinawa (Duke University Press\, 2008). \nOMI Director Alan Christy will lead the conversation with Professor Nelson\, exploring his study and discussing one of Okinawa’s key cultural traditions. \n \nChristopher T Nelson is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina. The central theme of his research has been the transformational possibilities of everyday life. His recent book Dancing with the Dead: Memory\, Performance\, and Everyday Life in Postwar Okinawa takes up this question\, building on several years of fieldwork that he carried out in Okinawa\, Japan. Through ethnographic and archival research\, he explored traditional forms of social organization and genres of ritual and performance. He studied the work of ethnographic comedians\, whose performances weave Okinawan folk humor\, Japanese traditional monologues and improvisational storytelling into sophisticated critiques of everyday life. He also worked with the youth group from which these performers emerged. In particular\, he examined their eisaa—dance for the dead—and its mediation of social relationships. His book provides close readings of these performances\, focusing on modalities of mourning\, memoration and creative action. \nHis current research project is focused on creative actors who were able to struggle against the constraints of the modern world in order to carve out a moment for meaningful activity. While he remains committed to the possibilities of daily life\, he feels it is also important to consider those for whom the burden of the everyday becomes unbearable. His new project Listening to the Bones: The Rhythms of Life and Death in Contemporary Japan takes up this problem. It involves the study of early Okinawan ethnologists such as Iha Fuyû; an ethnography of efforts to recover the remains of the Japanese war dead; as well as a critical exploration of Okinawan photography and experimental film. He is interested in the ways in which people negotiate the vortex of local knowledge\, Japanese nativist ethnology\, western anthropology and discourses of the state.

SUMMARY:David Eagleman\, Livewired
DESCRIPTION:Bestselling author and neuroscientist David Eagleman will discuss his new book\, Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain\, during a free online event on the Crowdcast platform. “Eagleman delivers an intellectually exhilarating look at neuroplasticity. In his view\, the brain’s ability to reconfigure connections between its different areas in response to feedback is ‘quite possibly the most gorgeous phenomenon in biology\,’ and also holds exciting practical applications. Eagleman’s skill as a teacher\, bold vision\, and command of current research will make this superb work a curious reader’s delight.” —Publishers Weekly \n \nThis is a free event. The book may be purchased here at Bookshop Santa Cruz’s website. \nIn Livewired\, Eagleman reveals the many ways in which the brain absorbs experience: developing\, redeploying\, organizing\, and arranging the data it receives from external stimuli\, which enables us to gain the skills\, facilities\, and practices that make us who we are. Eagleman covers decades of the most important research into the functioning of the brain and also presents new discoveries from his own research: about synesthesia\, dreaming\, and wearable devices that are revolutionizing how we think about the five human senses. As only Eagleman can\, along the way we learn why people in the 1980s (and only in the 1980s) saw book pages as slightly pink; why the world’s best archer is armless; why we dream each night\, and what that has to do with the rotation of the planet; what drug withdrawal has in common with a broken heart; how a blind person can learn to see with her tongue or a deaf person can learn to hear with his skin; and how we might someday be able to read the rough details of someone’s life from the microscopic structure etched in their forest of brain cells. \nDAVID EAGLEMAN\, PhD\, teaches brain plasticity at Stanford University\, was the writer and host of the Emmy-nominated television series The Brain\, and is the CEO of NeoSensory\, a company that builds brain/machine interfaces. He is the author of seven previous books\, including the international best sellers Incognito and Sum. He lives in Palo Alto\, California.

SUMMARY:Undiscovered Shakespeare: The Wars of the Roses - Richard III
DESCRIPTION:Join actors\, scholars\, and friends for ten live readings and discussions focused on the plays about a divided society and a civil war that made Shakespeare famous in the London theater. \n \nUndiscovered Shakespeare: The Wars of the Roses is a public arts and humanities series co-produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute. It brings professional actors and scholars together with the public for a staged reading and discussion of the works that made Shakespeare famous in the London theater. As a young writer at the start of his career\, Shakespeare explored ambitions\, rivalries\, and passions that swept away the dynasty that had reigned in England for more than four centuries. Over the course of ten sessions\, we will immerse ourselves in these rarely performed plays—in Henry VI\, Parts 1\, 2\, and 3 and Richard III—and reflect on them both as points of departure for Shakespeare’s career and as a mirror for the times in which we live. \nSchedule: The first nine sessions will last approximately ninety minutes (including an intermission) and will begin at 6:30pm PST. The final session of Richard III will last approximately two and a half hours. \nSessions are free to the public\, and participants are not obligated to attend every meeting of the program. \n*Participants reading along should expect for the first meeting about each play to cover acts one and two; the second meeting to cover acts three and four; and the third meeting to cover act five. The session focussing on Richard III will be a live reading of the entire play. \nJuly 1\, 8\, and 15: Henry VI\, Part 1 – click to view play synopsis \nwith scholars Adam Zucker (UMass\, Amherst) and Ariane Helou (UCLA) \nJuly 22\, 29\, and Aug 5: Henry VI\, Part 2 – click to view play synopsis\nwith scholars Sean Keilen (UCSC) and Maria Frangos (SCS) \nAugust 12\, 19\, 26: Henry VI\, Part 3 – click to view play synopsis\nwith scholars Claire McEachern (UCLA) and Ashley Herum (UC Santa Cruz) \nSeptember 2: Richard III – click to view play synopsis — live reading of the full play (apx. 2.5 hours)\nwith scholar Amani Liggett (UC Santa Cruz) \nTexts available from Folger Shakespeare Library at: https://shakespeare.folger.edu/shakespeares-works/ \nPlay synopses available from Shakespeare 2020 Project at: https://iandoescher.com/shakespeare/

Joan la Pucelle (Joan of Arc) is made general of the French forces. Meanwhile\, in England\, a quarrel between two powerful lords\, the Duke of Somerset and Richard Plantagenet\, Duke of York\, consumes the court when they demand that fellow nobles pick a side by wearing either a red rose (Somerset and the house of Lancaster) or a white rose (the Duke and the house of York). The mounting tensions in the court distract the English from their goals in France\, and young King Henry VI concludes an uneasy peace. He is persuaded to marry a captured French princess\, Margaret of Anjou\, whom he has never met.
