SUMMARY:Meditation as an Embodied Archive
DESCRIPTION:In Tibetan Buddhism\, Rinpoche means the “precious one” and may refer to reincarnated and respected lamas who are spiritual teachers of past and present. Originally from India and educated in Tibetan Buddhist traditions\, our guest speaker\, Tulku Orgyen Rinpoche\, is an unconventional Buddhist monk and scholar. During the workshop\, Rinpoche will introduce and guide participants through Buddhist meditation\, demonstrating how embodied practice is integral to the ecology of texts and can be viewed as a unique approach to archival research. \nThis in-person workshop is organized by the Collective for Archival Research of Embodiment (CARE)\, a UC-wide\, multi-campus graduate student working group sponsored by UCHRI. We invite students\, faculty\, and employees from all UC campuses to join us for this Buddhist practice-learning event. Due to a limit of 15 spots\, the workshop will be first come\, first served. Please register for the event here. \nCosponsored by an IHC Graduate Collaborative Award\, University of California Humanities Research Institute\, and Department of Religious Studies.

DESCRIPTION:Join the Environmental and Postcolonial Media Theories RFG for a conversation with Dr. Tao Leigh Goffe about her work\, “‘Guano in Their Destiny’: Race\, Geology\, and a Philosophy of Indenture\,” and beyond. \nDr. Tao Leigh Goffe is an associate professor of literary theory and cultural history with a focus on the environmental humanities and geology. She joined the Department of Africana\, Puerto Rican\, and Latino Studies at Hunter College\, City University of New York after over a decade of research and teaching on Black feminist engagements with Indigeneity and Asian diasporic racial formations. This work builds on her long-standing research interest in the intersection of climate\, race\, and digital technologies. It is the basis of the Dark Laboratory\, which she founded and leads as the Executive Director. Established for the study of Black and Indigenous ecologies\, Dark Lab is housed at Hunter College and has been supported by the New Museum’s incubator for art and technology. Dr. Goffe graduated with an undergraduate degree in English literature at Princeton University before earning a Ph.D. at Yale University where she continued studies on racial formation and global colonial desire. \nProfessor Goffe’s research has appeared or is forthcoming in several academic and popular publications including South Atlantic Quarterly\, New York Magazine\, Small Axe\, Women and Performance\, Boston Review\, and Social Text. She is the Global Black History and Theory co-editor at Public Books\, where she is accepting pitches. Her commentary and analyses have been quoted in the New York Times\, Washington Post\, and Vice Munchies. Dr. Goffe is currently completing two books under contract. The first\, After Eden: On the Racial Origins of Our Climate Crisis [(Doubleday\, Hamish Hamilton (Penguin Books UK)]\, explores how 1492 was the genesis of the climate crisis. The second\, Black Capital\, Chinese Debt (Duke University Press)\, explores a long Afro-Asian history of affective and financial indebtedness after the abolition of racial slavery from 1806 to the present. \nZoom attendance link here. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Environmental and Postcolonial Media Theories Research Focus Group\, Asian/American Studies Collective\, and Wireframe \nImage Credit: New York Public Library Digital Collections

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.

SUMMARY:Talk: Un Llanto Colectivo: a PerformaProtesta
DESCRIPTION:Join via Zoom here \nThis talk will be an examination of the llanto (wail/scream) as political performance praxis through reflecting on the collective work of Cherríe Moraga\, Celia Herrera Rodríguez and approximately twenty-five artists to stage a “PerformaProtesta\,” Un llanto colectivo\, at San Diego immigrant detention centers following the separation of migrant families during the summer of 2018. It discusses this “llanto space” as an alternative to the politics of recognition and representation\, and the different ways via which it instantiates a refusal of these modalities. \nDr. Jade Power-Sotomayor is a Cali-Rican educator\, scholar and performer who works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at UC San Diego. Engaging with discourses of embodiment and embodied practices of remembering and creating community\, her work focuses on the fluid reconstitution of Latinx identity ultimately produced by doing and not simply being. Overall\, she seeks to promote an in-depth engagement with Latinx performance-making as a framework for taking up the most salient issues of our time: colonialism\, anti-Blackness\, xenophobia\, economic disparity\, patriarchy and misogyny\, queer and transphobia\, ableism and mental health access\, climate catastrophe and environmental justice. More than just including historically occulted voices as a form of ethnographic encounter\, she looks to these instances of performance for what they reveal about the structures of power and social dynamics that have shaped the world we collectively share. Her research interests include: Latinx theatre and performance\, dance studies\, nightlife\, eco-dramaturgies\, epistemologies of the body\, feminist of color critique\, bilingualism\, and intercultural performance in the Caribbean diaspora. \nDr. Power-Sotomayor is currently working on a monograph called ¡Habla!:Speaking Bodies in Latinx Dance and Performance in which she theorizes her concept of “embodied code-switching” across distinct “Latinx” social dance spaces. Foregrounding how each of these dancings (bomba\, son jarocho\, perreo and Zumba) mark blackness within Latinidad\, the book focuses on how dancers strategically navigate and move amongst different embodied codes of belonging and peri-linguistic valences of meaning-making\, especially those encountered by Latinxs in relationship to dominant US culture. In 2021\, her essay “Corporeal Sounding: Listening to Bomba Dance\, Listening to puertorriqueñxs”won the Sally Banes Publication Prize from the American Society for Theatre Research and her essay “Moving Borders and Dancing in Place: Son jarocho’s Speaking Bodies at the Fandango Fronterizo” received the Gertrude Lippincott Award from the Dance Studies Association. She also recently co-edited a special issue of CENTRO Journal for Puerto Rican studies called “Puerto Rican Bomba: Syncopating Bodies\, Histories\, Geographies” and collaborates on the Bomba Wiki project\, a crowdsourced online bomba archive. Publications can be found in TDR\, Performance Matters\, Latino Studies Journal\, Latin American Theatre Review and The Oxford Handbook of Theatre and Dance. Dr. Power-Sotomayor also works as a dramaturg\, and co-directs and performs with the San Diego group Bomba Liberté. She is grateful to her many teachers and students for gifting her a lifelong experience of learning. \nJoin via Zoom here \nCosponsored by the University of California Office of the President Multi-campus Research Programs and Initiative Funding\, the UC Humanities Research Institute\, the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Theater and Dance\, and Colloquium in Dance\, Theater\, and Performance Studies

SUMMARY:Alt-Right Media Literacy Series: Memeing their Way into the Mainstream: A Cultural Approach to Understanding the US Far Right
DESCRIPTION:The election of Donald Trump and the eventual J6th attempted insurrection left many people wondering how we got to this point. The answer to that question is multidimensional\, complex\, and nuanced\, and this talk focuses on several pieces that helped generate the current moment. A broad constellation of far-right extremism highly adept at marketing ideas and emotions and far more sophisticated than often understood played a key role in rebranding white supremacy to ensure wider circulation and resonance. But part of the answer to how we got here today requires stepping back to the 1980s and tracing the evolution of how the far right utilized technology to generate and distribute propaganda; cultivate and strengthen social network ties; and eventually produce links to a wide ranging cultural lifestyle complete with merchandise\, housing options\, and dating forums. The result today is a diverse and dynamic cultural landscape of far right extremism where sitting members of Congress now proudly declare themselves “Christian Nationalists” and openly speak at explicitly white supremacists conferences funded by far right social media platforms. \nPete Simi is a Professor of Sociology at Chapman University and member of the Executive Committee for the National Counterterrorism\, Innovation\, Technology\, and Education (NCITE) Center at the University of Nebraska\, Omaha. For the past 25 years\, he has been studying political violence\, hate\, and extremism. His fieldwork has taken him inside white supremacist groups across the United States\, where he has been embedded with racist skinheads\, Klan members\, neo-Nazis\, and anti-government militias. \nRegister here for Zoom attendance link \nFor more information contact: Chelsea Kai Roesch at chelsearoesch@ucsb.edu or visit altrightmedialiteracy.com. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the University of California Humanities Research Institute

SUMMARY:Silicon Valley Requiem: A Posthuman Electro-Acoustic Concert
DESCRIPTION:Silicon Valley Requiem is a composition based on the requiem mass but replacing the liturgical environment with the public theater of Tech CEOs. A trio of synthesized male voices singing Gregorian chant melodies is paired with two live female performers singing statements regarding their actions on earth to a monolithic adjudicating soprano projected above. The application of contemporary technology on medieval plainchant creates a plethora of complex philosophical questions. What does it mean for non-humans to sing a text fundamental to the human condition\, mortality\, and the afterlife? If a techno-utopia is being sold to us by icons of Silicon Valley here on earth\, are we living a post-human existence? \nAndrew A. Watts is a composer of chamber\, symphonic\, multimedia\, and electro-acoustic works regularly performed throughout North America\, Europe\, and Asia. His compositions have been premiered at world-renowned venues such as Ravinia\, the MFA Boston\, Jordan Hall\, and the Holywell Music Room. Watts has written for many of the top new music groups today including Ensemble Dal Niente\, Ekmeles Vocal Ensemble\, Proton Bern\, Distractfold Ensemble\, RAGE Thormbones\, Splinter Reeds\, Quince Vocal Ensemble\, and Line Upon Line Percussion. Watts completed his DMA in composition at Stanford\, received his master’s with distinction from Oxford\, and his bachelor’s with academic honors from the New England Conservatory. He has been a featured composer at the MATA Festival (USA)\, impuls Academy (Austria)\, Rainy Days Festival (Luxembourg)\, Delian Academy (Greece)\, Young Composers Meeting (Netherlands)\, Cheltenham Music Festival (England)\, Course for New Music at Darmstadt (Germany)\, Composit Festival (Italy)\, Ostrava Days Institute (Czech Republic)\, highSCORE Festival (Italy)\, Wellesley Composers Conference (USA)\, Etchings Festival (France)\, Fresh Inc. Festival (USA)\, New Music on the Point (USA)\, and Atlantic Music Festival (USA). Watts is currently a Lecturer in Music Composition at UCSB’s College of Creative Studies. \nWilliam Davies King is Distinguished Professor of Theater at UC Santa Barbara. His critical edition of The Iceman Cometh recently came out from Yale UP. His multimedia edition of Long Day’s Journey Into Night won the 2017 PROSE Award in Literature. He has written several critical/biographical studies of Eugene O’Neill and is currently finishing a book about O’Neill’s Tao House\, as well as a play intended to be performed in its living room. His first book\, Henry Irving’s “Waterloo”: Theatrical Engagements with Late-Victorian Culture and History\, won the 1993 Callaway Prize. His memoir/essay about collecting\, Collections of Nothing (Chicago UP)\, was named one of Amazon’s best books of 2008\, and LAUNCH PAD gave a staged reading of an adaptation/sequel of the book in 2019. A further adaptation\, Collections of Nothing Enough Is Enough\, was presented on Zoom by the IHC two days after the defeat of Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. It can now be viewed on YouTube. To get a glimpse of an exhibit he co-curated of material from his collections\, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAVjYtz67uo&t=3s. Also see his newly redesigned website\, with many images from his Hyper-Illuminated books and a list of all the brands of blueberries in his collection: http://williamdaviesking.com. \nHigh Voice 1\, Nina Guo \nHailing from Pasadena\, CA\, soprano Nina Guo has been drawn to new music since high school. After completing her Bachelor’s degree at the New England Conservatory of Music\, she was awarded NEC’s John Cage Award for Outstanding Contribution to Contemporary Music Performance (2015).

SUMMARY:Talk: A Queer\, Queer Race: Orientations for Early Japanese American Literature
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThis online talk will feature discussions and close readings from a chapter in Professor Andrew Way Leong’s forthcoming book\, “A Queer\, Queer Race: Orientations for Japanese/American Literature.” This book examines Japanese and English language texts written by Shōson\, Sadakichi Hartmann\, Arishima Takeo\, and Yoné Noguchi—authors who resided in the United States between the opening of mass Japanese emigration in 1885 and the ban on Japanese immigration imposed by the Immigration Act of 1924. \nAndrew Way Leong is Assistant Professor of English at the University of California\, Berkeley. His research focuses on the literature of Japanese diasporas in the Americas as well as queer and critical theoretical approaches to the study of literary genre\, gendered embodiment\, and generational time. A comparativist\, Leong approaches the study of Asian American literature (and literatures of Asia and the Americas) with special attention to the generative frictions within and among multiple languages and literary traditions. He is the translator of Lament in the Night (Kaya Press 2012)\, a collection of two novels by Shōson Nagahara\, an author who wrote for a Japanese reading public in Los Angeles during the 1920s. \nCosponsored by the University of California Office of the President Multi-campus Research Programs and Initiative Funding\, the UC Humanities Research Institute\, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, and the UCSB American Cultures & Global Contexts Center

SUMMARY:Talk: Shards of Places\, Shards of Time: Katja Petrowskaja’s Modernist Poetics of History
DESCRIPTION:Zoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/89607162040 \nA family story\, a memoir\, a travelogue\, an intimate history of Jewish migration and persecution in the twentieth century—fitting into neither of these categories neatly\, and yet resonating with all of them\, Katja Petrowskaja’s Maybe Esther (2019; Vielleicht Esther\, 2014) relates the narrator’s journey from Berlin to piece together her family’s history across Poland\, the Ukraine\, and Russia. This presentation considers fragmentation as the text’s key aesthetic quiddity to ask how Petrowskaja’s modernist mode engenders a poetics of transnational history—after 1989. While in memory studies the fragment is often taken to signify loss and trauma\, the talk revisits this form to argue that Maybe Esther recuperates the fragmentary\, the additive\, the incomplete as differently valorized poetic possibilities in the face of twentieth-century atrocities. Reading Petrowskaja’s text as modernist is to also inquire into the configurations of time and temporality that fragmentation affords in our contemporary moment. \nLilla Balint is Assistant Professor of German at the University of California\, Berkeley. She specializes in twentieth- and twenty-first-century German literature\, culture\, and intellectual history in its transnational European contexts. She is currently at work on a monograph—tentatively entitled After 1989—that examines the aesthetics and modalities of historical representation after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Before joining UC Berkeley’s Department of German\, she held positions at Vanderbilt University and Hamilton College. Her work appeared in Gegenwartsliteratur\, The German Quarterly\, Telos\, Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature\, and Die Wiederholung. \nCosponsored by the University of California Office of the President Multi-campus Research Programs and Initiative Funding\, the UC Humanities Research Institute\, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, and the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/89607162040

SUMMARY:Discussion: Indigenous Dialogues on Root Causes: Climate Justice and COVID-19 in California
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThis webinar will center dialogue on the importance of Indigenous Ecological Knowledges in California\, and will offer critical perspectives on the COVID-19 pandemic as a symptomatic expression of the social and ecological imbalances wrought by colonial violence and the logics of enclosure and extraction. Julie Cordero-Lamb and Hana Aqiwo Lee of the Syuxtun Plant Mentorship Collective will speak to the crucial role that medicinal plant tending\, harvesting\, and processing continues to play in community health for the Coastal Chumash and their ancestral lands. Melinda Adams (San Carlos Apache Tribe) will share perspectives from her doctoral research at UC Davis on cultural burns\, emphasizing the role of Indigenous fire practitioners in the maintenance of healthy ecosystems\, communities\, and cultures. \nMelinda M. Adams\, M.S. belongs to the N’dee\, San Carlos Apache Tribe of Arizona and grew up in Albuquerque\, New Mexico. She is a second-year doctoral student in the Department of Native American Studies and currently conducts research within the Environmental Policy and Management department at the University of California\, Davis-unceded Southern Wintun territory. \nMelinda’s heartwork focuses on the reclamation of Indigenous land stewardship practices (specifically\, cultural fire) at the intersection of ecology\, environmental policy and rooted in Indigenous pedagogies and methodologies. Her work privileges Matriarchal Ecological Knowledge and seeks to: contextualize climate observations via intergenerational knowledge transfer\, provide space for socio-ecological-cultural healing\, and inform CA state fire and climate policy. \nThe Syuxtun Plant Mentorship Collective is cooperatively run by 20 dedicated TEK practitioners\, the majority of whom are Chumash and other indigenous people living in the Chumash homeland. “We dedicate ourselves to the re-indigenizing of our relationships with the land and all her beings by treating all species and elements\, including water\, like family\, like elders\, like brothers and sisters\, to whom we are directly accountable for our behavior. We use a horizontal power-sharing structure\, in which each person has an opportunity to lead\, depending on need\, skill\, and time available. Our founder\, Julie Cordero-Lamb\, emphasizes a return to ongoing\, hands-in-the-dirt\, pruners-in-the-bushes approach to tending the land. As a collective\, we have learned European\, Linnaean-style plant taxonomy and nomenclature\, and use it as a stopgap to keep us safe while we regenerate our older\, non-binary ways of knowing and caring for our relatives.” \nJulie Cordero-Lamb (she.her) is a grassroots herbalist and teacher of traditional regenerative horticulture in her family’s homeland\, the unceded tribal territory of the central coastal Chumash. She is an enrolled member of the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation\, and founded the Syuxtun Plant Mentorship Collective in 2016. Julie also co-founded the Chumash Maritime Association in 1996\, which brought traditional Chumash plank canoes back into the Chumash family circle. She did her MA/PhD work at UC Santa Barbara\, but opted out of an academic career in order to practice traditional regenerative horticulture at the grassroots\, community level\, and to raise her children on her farm in Washington state. She writes\, makes things\, grows and preserves food\, and farms 8 acres in the cedar forests in the Salish Sea area with her spouse\, two children\, two housemates\, their two children\, and many special plants and animals. \nThis event is the part of the webinar series\, A Wakeup Call for Climate Justice? Indigenous Knowledges Respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic. \nCo-sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, CAPPS Center\, Department of Global Studies\nOrfalea Center\, and the Departments of Asian American Studies\, Religious Studies\, Chican@ Studies\, Anthropology\, Geography\, and Black Studies \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Discussion: Indigenous Responses to Climate Injustice and Pandemics in India and Amazonia
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThis webinar will feature presentations about the connections between climate justice\, oil & uranium extractivism and responses to COVID-19 based on Indigenous territorial knowledges. \nFirst\, Oswando Nenquimo\, a Waorani leader from the Ecuadorian Amazon\, will tells us about the importance of the Amazon Rainforest and the role of Indigenous organizations that he is part of: Alianza Ceibo and CONCONAWEP. He will emphasize on the challenges that oil extraction has posed for Indigenous peoples in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon and their resistance towards it. Finally\, he tells us about the impacts of COVID-19 and how the Waorani nation has coordinated actions and revived Indigenous knowledges to respond to the pandemic. \nThe collective Sacha Samay\, to which Marisol Rodriguez Perez belongs\, will discuss how plants are beings of power\, they provide strength and energy\, and teach us that health is not an individual but a collective problem which can be healed through medicinal reciprocity. Confronted with the state’s indolence\, women prepare their own medicinal recipes\, they offer them to us and tell us how they refuse to be defeated by the pandemic. Thus\, she will focus on healing as emerging from the link between ancestral peoples and the jungle. \nThis event is the part of the webinar series\, A Wakeup Call for Climate Justice? Indigenous Knowledges Respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic. \nCo-sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, CAPPS Center\, Department of Global Studies\nOrfalea Center\, and the Departments of Asian American Studies\, Religious Studies\, Chican@ Studies\, Anthropology\, Geography\, and Black Studies \nPhoto credit: Luke Weiss | Medicinal Plant Garden in the Ecuadorian Amazon \nREGISTER NOW
