SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The Trials and Tribulations of Bambi and the Inscrutable Felix Salten\, Lover of Animals
DESCRIPTION:This talk follows Jack Zipes’ recent publication of his new translation of Felix Salten’s Bambi (1923). Zipes’ research for this book demonstrates that Bambi was essentially a Jew\, as were all the animals in the forest\, and that he and they had to spend their lives avoiding pogroms in the forest and learning to deal with loneliness. Salten wrote other books\, such as Fifteen Rabbits (1928) and Bambi’s Children: The Story of a Forest Family (1939)\, which reflect upon the conditions Jews faced in Europe when anti-Semitism was commonplace. In addition\, Zipes shall also discuss Hugo Bettauer’s Vienna without Jews (1923) and Artur Landberger’s Berlin without Jews (1924) in light of the fact that such constant pogroms were preparing the way for the Holocaust. There is a connection\, Zipes believes\, between the joyful killing of animals in the forest and the ways that Jews were murdered during the first half of the twentieth century. \nJack Zipes is Professor Emeritus of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota. In addition to his scholarly work\, he is an active storyteller in public schools and has worked with children’s theaters in Europe and the United States. Much of his early work has been devoted to the Brothers Grimm and German-Jewish culture. In 2019\, he founded his own publishing house called Little Mole and Honey Bear and has published Deirdre and William Conselman’s Keedle the Great\, or All You Want to Know about Fascism (2020)\, Tistou\, The Boy with the Green Thumbs of Peace (2022)\, and Rolf Brandt\, Hilarious and Haunting Fairy Tales (2022). More recently\, Zipes has published a new translation of Felix Salten’s The Original Bambi: The Story of a Life in the Forest (2022) with illustrations by Alenka Sottler and Buried Treasures: The Political Power of Fairy Tales (2023)\, a collection of essays on significant writers and illustrators who have been neglected. He is currently working on an anthology of European Jewish literature and has reissued his book\, The Operated Jew and The Operated Goy. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group and the Department of German and Slavic Studies \nImage: HUNT / cycle Bambi Vienna\, sketch by Alenka Sottler with photo from Österreichische Nationalbibliothek Kartensammlung

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Seminar: Care and Disability
DESCRIPTION:In her 1982 work\, In a Different Voice\, Carol Gilligan outlined a new manner for women to think about moral values and practices\, and put forward the concept of care\, which has recently been at the core of a new ethics. The ethics of care centers our social relations on vulnerability\, dependency\, and interdependence. In this session of the Disability Studies Initiative\, we will discuss works that address the limit of individual autonomy and the place of disability in the philosophy of care: Eva Feder Kittay’s “The Ethics of Care\, Dependence\, and Disability” (2011) and Laura Davy’s “Philosophical Inclusive Design: Intellectual Disability and the Limits of Individual Autonomy in Moral and Political Theory” (2015). Please write to: disabilitystudies@english.ucsb.edu to get the readings. Catherine Nesci will moderate the discussion. A Professor of Comparative Literature and French Studies at UC Santa Barbara with courtesy appointment in the Departments of Germanic & Slavic Studies and Feminist Studies\, Nesci works at the interface of gender and literary urban studies in modern and contemporary French and Western literatures. Her main scholarly interests include urban genres (flânerie\, detection\, Noir\, the underworld\, the popular novel\, literary cartographies); gendered cityscapes\, gendered embodiments; care\, remediation\, and literature; memory studies; Shoah & genocide studies; disability studies. \nRegister for the Zoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, Comparative Literature Program\, Graduate Center for Literary Research\, Disabled Students Program\, and Commission on Disability Equity

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Racist Love - Author Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion of Leslie Bow’s Racist Love: Asian Abstraction and the Pleasures of Fantasy (2022). The talk will feature a brief comment from the author\, followed by Q and A with participants. \nRacist Love traces the ways in which Asian Americans become objects of anxiety and desire. Conceptualizing these feelings as “racist love\,” Bow explores how race is abstracted and then projected onto Asianized objects. Bow shows how anthropomorphic objects and images such as cartoon animals in children’s books\, home décor and cute tchotchkes\, contemporary visual art\, and artificially intelligent robots function as repositories of seemingly positive feelings and attachment to Asianness. \nProfessor Leslie Bow is Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor of English and Asian American Studies and Dorothy Draheim Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She is the author of the award-winning\, ‘Partly Colored’: Asian Americans and Racial Anomaly in the Segregated South (New York University Press\, 2010); and Betrayal and Other Acts of Subversion: Feminism\, Sexual Politics\, Asian American Women’s Literature (Princeton University Press\, 2001). \nRegister here for Zoom attendance link \nSponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Department of Asian American Studies \nPhoto credit: Duke University Press

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Meeting: Defiant Worship: How Conservative Christian Legal Organizations are Changing Legal Culture
DESCRIPTION:In this RFG meeting\, Moore will discuss her new paper that offers a critical analysis of religious freedom discourse engendered by the coronavirus pandemic. Restrictions on indoor religious gatherings during the first nine months of the pandemic were challenged in courts\, and their constitutionality was addressed by the Supreme Court over the summer of 2020. This historic period—with lockdowns\, testing\, contact tracing\, and vaccines\, not to mention its prohibition on public gatherings—provide a unique opportunity to assess religious liberty claims during a nationwide public health emergency. The paper’s focus is on public discourses related to what we can describe as “defiant worship\,” or actions taken by pastors and congregations that violated state mandates about indoor religious gatherings. This paper contributes to the secondary literature that deconstructs assumed binaries between secular and religious\, legal and lay\, and public and private spheres\, and examines key actors that approach constitutional law from their religious commitments\, such as Conservative Christian Legal Organizations (CCLOs). \nKathleen M. Moore is Professor of Religious Studies and Associate Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts at UCSB. This research is part of a larger book project on religious liberty arguments in the American conservative Christian legal movement\, tentatively entitled “When the Religious Turn Litigious.” \nSponsored by the IHC’s Legal Humanities Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: US Policymaking and the Promises of Technology in the 1990s' “New Economy”
DESCRIPTION:On April 5th\, 2000\, President William Clinton stepped to the microphone at the White House Conference on the New Economy and told those gathered that the United States was experiencing “an economic transformation as profound as that that led us into the industrial revolution.” The 1990s was a heady moment for chatter about technological change\, especially around personal computers and the Internet. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates predicted Business @ the Speed of Thought\, as one of his book titles put it\, and Wired writer Kevin Kelly argued that the Internet would lead to the dematerialization of the economy. This “irrational exuberance” would eventually end in the dot com bust\, but not before members of the Clinton administration used projections around “the New Economy” to justify a number of decisions that would have far-reaching ramifications\, including policies around telecommunications\, labor and trade\, education and training\, student loans\, and economic\, racial\, and gender inequality. \nIn this talk\, Lee Vinsel will build on recent work on the history of the Clinton White House and political economy\, including Margaret O’Mara’s The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America and Nelson Lichtenstein and Judith Stein’s forthcoming\, A Fabulous Failure: The Clinton Presidency and the Transformation of American Capitalism. Vinsel will ask what can be gained for this literature by focusing on technology\, both the actual material change taking place in the 1990s and\, perhaps most importantly\, the ideas and fantasies surrounding the concept “technology\,” which greatly outpaced reality. \nLee Vinsel is Associate Professor of Science\, Technology and Society at Virginia Tech. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group
