SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: The Virus Touch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Bishnupriya Ghosh (English and Global Studies) and Elena Aronova (History) about Ghosh’s new book\, The Virus Touch: Theorizing Epidemic Media. Refreshments will be served. \nIn The Virus Touch\, Ghosh argues that media are central to understanding emergent relations between viruses\, humans\, and nonhuman life. Writing in the shadow of the HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 global pandemics\, Ghosh theorizes “epidemic media” to show how epidemics are mediated in images\, numbers\, and movements through the processes of reading test results and tracking infection and mortality rates. Scientific\, artistic\, and activist epidemic media that make multispecies relations sensible and manageable eschew anthropocentric survival strategies and instead recast global public health crises as biological\, social\, and ecological catastrophes\, pushing us toward a multispecies politics of health. Ghosh trains her analytic gaze on these mediations as expressed in the collection and analysis of blood samples as a form of viral media; the geospatialization of data that track viral hosts like wild primates; and the use of multisensory images to trace fluctuations in viral mutations. Studying how epidemic media inscribe\, store\, and transmit multispecies relations attunes us to the anthropogenic drivers of pathogenicity like deforestation or illegal wildlife trading and the vulnerabilities of diseases that arise from socioeconomic inequities and biopolitical neglect. \nBishnupriya Ghosh is Professor of English and Global Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, author of Global Icons: Apertures to the Popular\, and coeditor of The Routledge Companion to Media and Risk. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Talk: Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945
DESCRIPTION:Professor Salim Yaqub will discuss his new book\, Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945\, which traverses the broad sweep of postwar U.S. history. It explores how Americans of all walks of life—political leaders\, businesspeople\, public intellectuals\, workers\, students\, activists\, migrants\, and others—struggled to define the nation’s political\, economic\, geopolitical\, demographic\, and social character. The book chronicles the nation’s ceaseless ferment\, from the rocky conversion to peacetime in the early aftermath of World War II; to the frightening emergence of the Cold War and repeated U.S. military adventures abroad; to the struggles of African Americans and other minorities to claim a share of the American Dream; to the striking transformations in social attitudes catalyzed by the women’s movement and struggles for gay and lesbian liberation; to the dynamic force of political\, economic\, and social conservatism. Carrying the story to the spring of 2022\, Winds of Hope also shows how dizzying technological changes at times threatened to upend the nation’s civic and political life. \n\nSalim Yaqub received his Ph.D. in U.S. history from Yale University in 1999. He is now Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and Director of UCSB’s Center for Cold War Studies and International History. He is the author of three books: Containing Arab Nationalism: The Eisenhower Doctrine and the Middle East (University of North Carolina Press\, 2004)\, Imperfect Strangers: Americans\, Arabs\, and U.S.–Middle East Relations in the 1970s (Cornell University Press\, 2016)\, and Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945 (Cambridge University Press\, 2023). Professor Yaqub has also written several articles and book chapters on the history of U.S. foreign relations\, the international politics of the Middle East\, and Arab American political activism. \nSponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Color: Additions\, Subtractions\, Signals
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Ricardo Cedeño Montaña will describe some of the particular principles\, mechanisms\, and techniques by which color film functioned in its formative years and the coding schemes for (re)producing\, storing\, and transmitting color information in electronic and digital media. Using a media archaeological approach to technical media\, Cedeño Montaña will show that color in technical media is anything but stable and such instability implies different contexts of sensory data processing and storage. This presentation is divided into three parts: In the first part\, Cedeño Montaña will briefly discuss some aspects of the history of color science\, and in the following two sections he will concentrate the analysis first on film media formats and second on the (re)production of color in electronic television and on digital screens for mobile devices. \nDr. Ricardo Cedeño Montaña is professor\, media archaeologist of technical images\, and multimedia artist. His artworks have been exhibited in Colombia\, Argentina\, and Germany. His recent research work focuses on the media archaeology of computer graphics and digital color. He is the author of Portable Moving Images (Degruyter 2017). As associate professor at the Faculty of Communications and Philology at the University of Antioquia\, Colombia\, he promotes algorithmic thinking for digital creation and experimental approaches to technical media analysis. He has worked as a professor of archaeology and media history\, industrial design\, and digital art at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin\, Universidad Nacional de Colombia\, Hochschule Bremerhaven\, Universidad de los Andes and Universidad de Caldas. He holds a Ph.D. in History and Theory of Culture (2017\, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; Germany) and an M.A. in Digital Media (2009\, Hochschule Bremerhaven\, Germany). In Colombia\, he studied Multimedia Creation (2003\, Universidad de los Andes) and Industrial Design (1999\, Universidad Nacional de Colombia). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Theories of Media and Techniques in the Wake of Postcolonial and Environmental Studies Research Focus Group\, Department of Film & Media Studies\, Department of Germanic & Slavic Studies\, Carsey Wolf Center\, Transcription Center\, Department of Spanish & Portuguese\, and Comparative Literature Program \nImage credit: Ricardo Cedeño Montaña

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Tape Letters: Migration on Tape
DESCRIPTION:The Tape Letters project shines light on the practice of recording and sending messages on cassette tape as a mode of communication by Pakistanis who migrated and settled in the UK between 1960 and 1980. Drawing directly both from first-hand interviews and from the informal and intimate conversations on the cassettes themselves\, the project seeks to unearth\, archive\, and represent a portrait of this method of communication\, as practiced mainly by Pothwari-speaking members of the British-Pakistani community\, commenting on their experiences of migration and identity\, commenting on the unorthodox use of cassette tape technology\, and commenting on the language used in the recordings. \nWajid Yaseen is a Manchester-born\, London-based artist whose work draws on an interdisciplinary approach to develop sound-based works encompassing installations\, live performances\, acousmatic music\, graphic scores\, and sound sculptures. He is the Creative Director of the sound art research cooperative Modus Arts\, the co-founder of the destructivist Scrapclub project\, and director of the Ear Cinema project. Wajid holds an M.A. in Arts and Design with a focus on Sonic Arts\, and his work has been exhibited and performed at the ICA Gallery\, Arnolfini\, Queen Elizabeth Hall\, the Whitechapel Gallery\, Laban\, and Freud Museum. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group\, Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Music\, Ethnomusicology Forum\, and Library Special Collections

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Symposium: Through Young Eyes: Undergraduate Research Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Through Young Eyes is an undergraduate research showcase sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center Research Focus Group on Global Childhood Ecologies\, as well as the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies and Comparative Literature Program. It features multidisciplinary presentations of thesis research related to childhood by senior majors Victoria Korotchenko in Russian and East European Studies\, Nicole Smirnoff in Comparative Literature\, and Zoie Orth in English. The panel of presentations and subsequent discussion will focus on children’s and young people’s agency and activism; construction and liberation; and active role as audience in order to offer a multidisciplinary examination of the co-creation of childhood and youth even in the face of opposing forces\, as shown by examples from history\, literature\, and culture. The event will take place in Phelps 6320\, while attendance via Zoom also will be possible for those who cannot attend in person. \nThrough Young Eyes: Undergraduate Research Showcase \nChair: Sara Pankenier Weld (Germanic and Slavic Studies\, UCSB) \nPanel Participants: \n“The Fate of the Motherland’s Children: Youth Action\, Trauma\, and Experiences”\nVictoria Korotchenko ‘23 (Russian and East European Studies\, UCSB) \nVictoria Korotchenko’s research is focused on children during the Russian Revolution (1917-1923)\, specifically the diversity of their experiences and participation within the tumult. Within her thesis\, she discusses their role as target\, activist\, victim\, and chronicler\, while simultaneously writing about the child as the protagonist within these stories\, rather than purely individuals who had the revolution thrust upon them. \nReframing the Flaneur: the Child and the City through Thresholds\, Windows\, and Paintings\nNicole Smirnoff ‘23 (Comparative Literature\, UCSB) \nLiterature of the flaneur is preoccupied with the representation of the city in its complexities and realities\, oftentimes applying its perspective toward the child. Nicole Smirnoff’s thesis follows the motif of the framed spaces to these child characters; exploring how the image of the child is constrained and set free\, constructed and construed\, and reflected and reimagined through the vignette of the frame. \nInto the Osemanverse: The Dynamics of Young Adult Literature\nZoie Orth ‘23 (English\, UCSB) \nWith her thesis\, Zoie Orth hopes to understand the current state of Young Adult Fiction and its readers\, framing YA literature as not just a genre\, but as a culture that is driven by—if not entirely dependent on—its audience’s unique relationships with the works that define it. The goal of her research has been to go beyond traditional scholarly approaches to literary analysis\, which tend to treat works as if they exist in a vacuum\, often ignoring the many other forces that affect its production and consumption. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group\, Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, and Comparative Literature Program

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: Rehearsals for Reparations
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, the Legal Humanities RFG will discuss Giuliana Perrone’s new paper\, “Rehearsals for Reparations.” This pre-circulated paper considers a set of lawsuits in which emancipated people sued to have their enslavers’ bequests to them honored. It contends that we should see these suits as contests over reparations. By exploring this unappreciated history of reparations\, this article argues that enslavers themselves believed reparations were due and were willing to pay them\, there was a general agreement between enslaved and enslaver about the form reparations should take\, and similar understanding that they should be generational. The article further suggests the promise of further inquiry into historical testamentary records. Such a novel archive would add to contemporary arguments in favor of reparations by identifying how widespread the effort to atone for slavery through restitution truly was. \nGiuliana Perrone is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, where she specializes in the history of North American Slavery and Abolition. Her first book\, Nothing More than Freedom: The Failure of Abolition in American Law will be published by Cambridge University Press in May 2023. \nTo receive the pre-circulated paper\, email Giuliana Perrone at gperrone@ucsb.edu. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Legal Humanities and Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Groups \nImage credit: Fibonacci Blue via Flickr

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Giuliana Perrone
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Giuliana Perrone (History) and Jeannine DeLombard (English) about Perrone’s new book\, Nothing More than Freedom: The Failure of Abolition in American Law. Refreshments will be served. \nNothing More than Freedom: The Failure of Abolition in American Law (Cambridge University Press\, 2023)\nNothing More than Freedom explores the long and complex legal history of Black freedom in the United States. From the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 until the end of Reconstruction in 1877\, supreme courts in former slave states decided approximately 700 lawsuits associated with the struggle for Black freedom and equal citizenship. This litigation – the majority through private law – triggered questions about American liberty and reassessed the nation’s legal and political order following the Civil War. Judicial decisions set the terms of debates about racial identity\, civil rights\, and national belonging\, and established that slavery\, as a legal institution and social practice\, remained actionable in American law well after its ostensible demise. The verdicts determined how unresolved facets of slavery would undercut ongoing efforts for abolition and the realization of equality. Insightful and compelling\, this work makes an important intervention in the history of post-Civil War law. \nGiuliana Perrone is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Her research focuses on the history of slavery\, abolition\, and race in North America\, American socio-legal history\, the history of the Civil War and Reconstruction\, and the development of American political institutions. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Worship Space Acoustics: Exploring Its Application in Hindu Temples
DESCRIPTION:Acoustically important aspects of Hindu worship include chants\, bells\, conch-shells\, and gongs. Every Hindu temple is fitted with bells that worshipers ring. Conch-shells and gongs are used at various times during pūjā rituals\, during which texts from the Vedas and other Sanskrit scriptures are chanted. These Vedic chants have phonetic characteristics such as pitch\, duration\, emphasis\, uniformity\, and juxtaposition. In this talk\, Shashank Aswathanarayana will discuss his postdoctoral research on the acoustics of Hindu temples in which he plans to build a complete acoustic image of five Hindu temples in South India and analyze the characteristics of the sounds within these temples as they relate to the effects on human consciousness. He also plans to develop and define new methods of acoustic characterization that are more appropriate for Hindu worship spaces than the traditional methods of acoustic characterization that have been developed for Christian worship spaces. \nShashank Aswathanarayana is a music technologist\, percussionist\, and research scholar from Bengaluru\, India\, who received his Ph.D. in Media Arts and Technology from the University of California\, Santa Barbara. In fall 2023\, he will embark on his postdoctoral research at American University in Washington\, DC\, as a Postdoctoral Fellow for Academic Diversity. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Discussion: Energy and Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join the Re-centering Energy Justice Research Focus Group for a roundtable discussion. Special guests Sourayan Mookerjea and J. Mijin Cha will be discussants for this event celebrating a new book by UCSB researcher Tristan Partridge. \nSourayan Mookerjea is Director of the Intermedia Research Studio and Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Alberta. His work addresses Commons Theory\, Decolonizing Critical Theory\, Intermedia Research Creation\, and Development Dispossession. \nMijin Cha’s research focuses on labor/climate coalitions and just transitions. She is also a fellow at the Worker Institute\, Cornell University\, where she works on the Labor Leading on Climate initiative. Professor Cha is faculty in the environmental studies department at UC Santa Cruz. \nTristan Partridge is a Lecturer in Global Studies at UCSB and Co-Founder of the CREW Center for Restorative Environmental Work. \nPartridge’s book\, Energy and Environmental Justice\, reconnects energy research with the radical\, reflexive\, and transformative approaches of Environmental Justice. Moving beyond the popular “energy justice” framework both analytically and politically\, this book examines how energy relates to structural issues of exploitation\, racism\, colonialism\, extractivism\, the commodification of work\, and the systemic devaluing of diverse “others.” The result is a new agenda for critical energy research that builds on a growing global movement of environmental justice activism and scholarship. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Re-centering Energy Justice Research Focus Group\, Mellon-Sawyer Seminar on Energy Justice in Global Perspective\, and CREW Center for Restorative Environmental Work

SUMMARY:“It Calls You Back and Draws You In”: The Personal Papers of Luis J. Rodríguez
DESCRIPTION:Luis J. Rodríguez is an award-winning author and activist whose memoir about life in a gang\, Always Running\, is as popular as ever in 2023\, its 30th anniversary. The UCSB Library Special Research Collections recently acquired Rodríguez’s personal papers\, giving scholars and students an opportunity to see the personal and social context behind Always Running and Rodríguez’s other prose\, poetry\, and non-fiction\, as well as his involvement in gubernatorial races\, revolutionary organizations\, and the prisoners’ rights movement. In this talk\, Jo Metcalf will discuss her use of the archive as she and co-editor Ben Olguín (UCSB) create an anthology of the life and works of Rodríguez. Engaging with this collection of letters\, manuscripts\, contracts\, newspapers\, and photos exposes both the excitement and frustration that archives often hold. Ben Olguín will introduce the talk\, which will be followed by a reception. \nJosephine Metcalf is a Senior Lecturer in American Studies at the University of Hull\, UK and an IHC Visiting Scholar. She is the co-founder and co-director of the Cultures of Incarceration Centre and Programme Director for the MA in Incarceration Cultures. Her research focuses on the representation of prisons and street gangs in literature and other pop-culture forms\, and the ways these have been received by audiences. \nCosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the UCSB Library Special Research Collections \nImage: Luis J.
