SUMMARY:Talk: Beyond the Wall: Teichoscopy and the Limits of Tragedy
DESCRIPTION:Teichoscopy is a theatrical means of communicating occurrences that happen offstage. A figure\, commonly subaltern and anonymous\, climbs to an elevated position to report what it sees from this vantage point while the leading figure remains below to hear. In thus visibly inverting the positions of power on stage\, teichoscopy can not only call into question social and political hierarchies\, it also serves to comment on the central tragic notion of the ‘fall of kings’ itself. This is why the strategy is employed frequently when European tragedy seeks to address the limitations imposed by the need for dramatic personae. In the late eighteenth century\, teichoscopy takes on a radically anti-dramatic function as it shows how revolution undermines the “dispositive of representation” (Louis Marin) that links both courtly and bourgeois drama to Early Modern sovereignty. This talk will address the specific media poetics allowing for such a liminal experience of political drama reaching beyond itself. \nMichael Auer is Professor of German Literature at the University of Vienna in Austria visiting UCSB as a Max Kade Professor this Spring quarter. His research interests include the politics of poetic form\, the history of European drama\, and “lyrical soundscapes” from psalms to songs. He is currently writing a book on teichoscopy from Aeschylus and Shakespeare to Sarah Kane and Elfriede Jelinek. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, Comparative Literature Program\, and Department of Theater and Dance

SUMMARY:From Alphabetical to Digital Literacy? Some Reflections on Orality\, Writing\, Cultural Techniques\, and Digitality
DESCRIPTION:Are we witnessing the transition from alphabetic to digital literacy? But what does “literacy” mean? Going back to the discovery of the difference between orality and literacy in the 1960s and 1970s\, we find a real discovery – the difference between oral and written language – combined with a problematic narrative: The supremacy of literal to oral cultures. To avoid this ideology we should consider orality and literacy as the two ends of a continuum. Whatever historically exists is in between. With this in mind\, we turn to the question about the transition from alphabetic to digital literacy and problematize its clear demarcation between the alphanumeric and the digital. But what does “digital” mean? It is our hypothesis that there is an “embryonic digitality” already within alphabetical literacy. Digitality can be detached from computer technology. But electronic networking and Big Data are at the same time producing phenomena that are unprecedentedly new: The idea of the world interpreted as readable text changes into the “machine operability of the data universe.” Is contemporary digitality thus the “new alphabet”? \nCurrently Max Kade Visiting Professor for Winter 2022 in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, Sybille Krämer was Full Professor for Philosophy at the Free University in Berlin. Since her retirement\, she has been a guest professor at the Institute for Cultures and Aesthetics of Digital Media\, Leuphana University Lüneburg. Previously\, she has been a member of the German Scientific Council (2000-2006)\, of the European Research Council (2007-2014))\, member of the “Senat” of the German Research Foundation (2009-2015)\, and Permanent Fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin/ Institute for Advanced Study (2005-2008). She has held several International Visiting Professorships and Fellowships and has a 2016 Honorary Doctorate from Linköping University/Sweden. Her research areas include: Mathematics and philosophy in 17th century; Social Epistemology; Philosophy of Language and Writing; Performative Studies\, Media and Cultural Techniques; Digitality and History of Computation; Testimony and Witnessing. Her publications in English include: Media\, Messenger\, Transmission. An Approach to Media Philosophy\, Amsterdam: University Press 2015. With Ch.

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Bridge Turns 40
DESCRIPTION:Join Las Maestras Center\, Bridge contributors\, and virtual participants near and far for an evening of remembrance and celebration of the fifth and 40th Anniversary Edition of This Bridge Called My Back – Writings by Radical Women of Color. Originally released in 1981\, This Bridge Called My Back is a testimony to women of color feminism as it emerged in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Through personal essays\, criticism\, interviews\, testimonials\, poetry\, and visual art\, the collection explores\, as coeditor Cherríe Moraga writes\, “the complex confluence of identities—race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality—systemic to women of color oppression and liberation.” \nThis livestream event will revisit this seminal work and discuss the anniversary edition\, which contains a new preface by Moraga reflecting on Bridge‘s “living legacy” and the broader community of women of color activists\, writers\, and artists whose enduring contributions resonate with its radical vision. Further features help set the volume’s historical context\, including an extended introduction by Moraga from the 2015 edition\, a statement written by Gloria Anzaldúa in 1983\, and visual art produced during the same period by Betye Saar\, Ana Mendieta\, Yolanda M. López\, and others\, curated by their contemporary\, visual artist\, Celia Herrera Rodríguez. Bridge continues to reflect an evolving definition of feminism\, one that can effectively adapt to and help inform an understanding of the changing economic and social conditions of women of color in the United States and throughout the world. \nCherríe Moraga is a Professor in the Department of English at UC Santa Barbara and Co-Director of Las Maestras Center for Xicana[x] Indigenous Thought\, Art & Social Practice. \nVisit here to register and for more details \nYouTube link \nSponsored by the SUNY Press\, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Chicano Studies Institute\, Department of Chicano and Chicana Studies\, Multicultural Center\, Department of English\, Department of Feminist Studies\, Hull Chair for Women and Social Justice\, UCSB Graduate Division\, and Hemispheric South/s Research Initiative

SUMMARY:Conference: Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster
DESCRIPTION:CONFERENCE REGISTRATION \nThe interdisciplinary virtual conference “Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster” will take place on Friday\, April 30\, 2021 at 9:00am-4:00pm\, with an international slate of speakers representing a variety of disciplines who will share their insights on the 35th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. \nThirty-five years after the 1986 nuclear accident at Chernobyl\, the interdisciplinary virtual conference Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster considers its afterlife and reverberations in various disciplines\, including culture and the arts. Situated at a watershed moment during the Cold War\, Chernobyl has spawned an unprecedented quantity of global responses from scientists\, writers\, filmmakers\, and artists\, and it has become a key moment for the global environmental movement. This conference views the accident and its aftermath in the context of broader global ecologies of disaster and considers how catastrophe is coded and understood — or fails to be understood — through the prism of science\, art\, literature\, and film. How do all these disciplines and discourses confront the disaster\, and where do they converge to produce the fiction\, or the truth\, of what we call “Chernobyl”? The conference brings together scholars and experts in Comparative Literature\, History\, Anthropology\, Environmental Studies\, Nuclear Engineering\, Medicine\, Art\, Film\, and Germanic and Slavic Studies. (Rescheduled from April 2020 when it was postponed due to COVID-19.) \nAn associated Carsey-Wolf Center virtual discussion of the award-winning documentary “The Babushkas of Chernobyl\,” with Director Holly Morris\, will take place at 4pm on Thursday\, April 29\, 2021\, before which registered participants can pre-screen the film. \nFILM DISCUSSION REGISTRATION \nSponsored by the College of Letters and Science and the T. A. Barron Environmental Fund. Event partners include the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, Graduate Center for Literary Research\, and Carsey-Wolf Center. Other sponsors include the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Global Studies\, Comparative Literature Program\, Environmental Studies\, Cold War Studies\, College of Creative Studies\, and History Department.

SUMMARY:Critical Mass Talks and Staged Reading: On Collecting and Hoarding
DESCRIPTION:SCHEDULE OF EVENTS: \n4:00 – 5:15 PM\nTalks: William Davies King and Rebecca Falkoff\n \n\n7:00 – 8:00 PM\nStaged Reading: Collections of Nothing Enough is Enough\n \n\nEVENT DETAILS: \nTalks: William Davies King and Rebecca Falkoff \nThe Creative Edge of Collecting \nWilliam Davies King has spent a lifetime collecting nothing in a way he brought to light in his 2008 book Collections of Nothing. His collecting of such things as Cheez-It boxes\, “Place Stamp Here” squares\, hotel door cards\, and the little stickers you find on fruit runs into the tens of thousands of items\, all on the low edge of the valueless and the ephemeral. But he has also spent a lifetime engaged with the arts–drama\, performance art\, collage–and he has explored the ways the activity of the collector\, who thinks through the world\, connects to the work of the artist\, who makes a world through things. In this talk\, King will use exhibits\, imagery\, anecdotes\, and ideas to open up the creative nexus of collecting and its power to re-create the world. \nWilliam Davies King is Distinguished Professor of Theater and Dance at UC Santa Barbara. He is the author of Henry Irving’s “Waterloo”: Theatrical Engagements with Late-Victorian Culture and History (1993)\, Writing Wrongs: The Work of Wallace Shawn (1997)\, “A Wind Is Rising”: The Correspondence of Agnes Boulton and Eugene O’Neill (2000)\, Collections of Nothing (2008)\, and Another Part of a Long Story: Literary Traces of Eugene O’Neill and Agnes Boulton (Michigan\, 2010)\, and he is the editor of critical editions of Long Day’s Journey Into Night (2014) and The Iceman Cometh (2020).  \nAn Oikos for Everything: Hoarding against Waste \nThe first decades of the twenty-first century have seen an explosion of interest in hoarding\, and in those whose accumulated possessions overwhelm living spaces\, rendering them unusable and often unsafe. Hoarding is the subject of recent documentary and feature films\, novels\, memoirs\, self-help books\, installation art\, stand-up comedy acts\, and of course\, reality series. In her talk\, Rebecca Falkoff will explore the relationships between hoarding and wasting\, and the narratives through which they are antithetically conjoined. Modern literary and visual texts from Nikolai Gogol’s 1842 Dead Souls to Song Dong’s 2005 Waste Not present hoarding as a way of suspending matter between waste and use in a bounded space of potential. \nRebecca Falkoff is an Assistant Professor of Italian Studies at New York University. She recently completed her first manuscript\, Possessed: A Cultural History of Hoarding\, and is working on a new project about industrial chemistry and literature\, Modernity in the Air. She has published on illegibility\, flea markets\, and the Ferrante phenomenon. Her work on Carlo Emilio Gadda’s scientific and technical writings was awarded the Romance Studies Early Career Researchers Essay Prize.  \nAudience Q&A will follow. \n\nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \n\n\nStaged Reading: Collections of Nothing Enough is Enough \nWritten by William Davies King (UCSB Theater and Dance)\nDirected by Risa Brainin (UCSB Theater and Dance)\nCast: Irwin Appel (UCSB Theater and Dance) and Anne Torsiglieri (UCSB Theater and Dance)  \nThe play delves into the mixed-up mind of the mega-collector and asks of that massive pile of stuff–thoughts\, feelings\, and jokes–the crucial question facing us all: What next? \nAudience Q&A will follow. \nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nSponsored by the IHC’s Critical Mass series\, the Hester and Cedric Crowell Endowment\, the UCSB Department of Theater and Dance’s LAUNCH PAD series\, and the UCSB Library \n\nRelated Exhibit: The Creative Edge of Collecting: The “Nothing” of William Davies King \nUCSB Library exhibited a selection of William Davies King’s ephemera collection in its first floor Mountain Gallery during winter quarter 2020. In The Creative Edge of Collecting\, King confronts the social and psychological impulses to collect\, and also the eye-opening possibilities of the sort of things that one might assemble. Shortly after the exhibition opened\, COVID-19 struck\, and the campus shut down all physical spaces. While UCSB Library remains closed to visitors\, you can still see the exhibition online. Please click here for a walk-through with William Davies King.

SUMMARY:The 2020 Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence: Jesmyn Ward
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a conversation between Jesmyn Ward\, 2020 Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence\, and IHC Director Susan Derwin. Audience Q&A will follow. \n\nMacArthur Genius and two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward has been called “the new Toni Morrison” (American Booksellers Association). In 2017\, she became the first woman and first person of color to win the National Book Award twice—joining the ranks of William Faulkner\, Saul Bellow\, John Cheever\, Philip Roth\, and John Updike. Her writing\, which encompasses fiction\, nonfiction\, and memoir\, is “raw\, beautiful\, and dangerous” (The New York Times Book Review). Ward’s novels\, primarily set on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast\, are deeply informed by the trauma of Hurricane Katrina. Salvage the Bones\, winner of the 2011 National Book Award\, is a troubling but ultimately empowering tale of familial bonds set amid the chaos of the hurricane. Ward’s memoir\, Men We Reaped\, deals with the loss of five young men in her life—to drugs\, accidents\, suicide\, and the bad luck that follows people who live in poverty. In 2016\, Ward edited the critically acclaimed anthology The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks About Race\, a New York Times bestseller. Her newest novel\, the critically acclaimed Sing\, Unburied\, Sing\, won the 2017 National Book Award. Sing has been called “a searing\, urgent read for anyone who thinks the shadows of slavery and Jim Crow have passed” (Celeste Ng). Sing was named one of the best books of 2017 by The New York Times\, Time\, The Washington Post\, and Publisher’s Weekly. Sing was also nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and the Aspen Words Literary Prize. An associate professor of creative writing at Tulane University\, Ward received the 2016 Strauss Living Award and a 2017 MacArthur Genius Grant\, and was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people of 2018. Scribner recently reissued her debut novel\, Where the Line Bleeds. \nSponsored by the Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence Program\, created to bring distinguished practitioners of the craft of writing to the UCSB community.

SUMMARY:Conference: Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts
DESCRIPTION:Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts proposes new considerations of realism on stage. Since its association with 19th-century innovations in European and American drama\, theatrical realism has largely remained limited to Euro-American definitions. We explore conventions of realism in culturally-specific locations and times across East Asia\, articulating alternative histories of realism that extend from the premodern into the present. Through our individual inquiries\, we aim to broaden the term’s analytic power and shed collective light on the diversity and versatility of this important representational mode. \nThe conference will end with a reading of the early twentieth-century play The Son\, by pioneer of modern Japanese theatre Osanai Kaoru. Translated into English by David Jortner\, performed by LAUNCH PAD of UCSB’s Department of Theater and Dance. \nConference Participants: Jyana Browne (University of Maryland)\, Xing Fan (University of Toronto)\, Man He (Williams College)\, David Jortner (Baylor University)\, Jieun Lee (Wake Forest University)\, Siyuan Liu (University of British Columbia)\, Jessica Nakamura (UCSB)\, Cody Poulton (University of Victoria)\, Katherine Saltzman-Li (UCSB)\, Catherine Swatek (University of British Columbia)\, Guojun Wang (Vanderbilt University)\, Miseong Woo (Yonsei University)\, Min-Hyung Yoo (Korea University)\, Soo Ryon Yoon (Lingnan University)\, Ji Hyon (Kayla) Yuh (Montclair State University)\, with Risa Brainin (UCSB) and William Davies King (UCSB) \nThe conference is open to the public\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Symposium: Healing/Arts: Health Activism\, Creative Practice\, & the Medical Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Healing/Arts is a free\, virtual symposium that brings together creative practitioners from literary studies\, medical humanities\, disability justice\, and performance for a series of talks and workshops on the relationship between the arts and health activism. Featured facilitators Kelly Gluckman\, Leora Fridman\, Johanna Hedva\, and Patty Berne will examine the role the creative arts might play in critiquing the institutional configurations of American healthcare and the normative imperatives underlying idealized notions of health. And they will explore the arts’ capacity to help us reimagine and produce individual and collective well-being by inviting participants to experiment with modes of communal engagement including somatic exercises\, writing\, discussion\, performance\, and art making. Please visit https://healingartssymposium.wordpress.com/ for more information. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Humanities and Fine Arts Division Office of the Dean\, Graduate Center for Literary Research\, Department of English Literature and Mind Research Center\, and MultiCultural Center.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Conference: Climate Fictions
DESCRIPTION:THIS CONFERENCE HAS BEEN POSTPONED AND WILL BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE. EMAIL CHRISTENE D’ANCA FOR MORE INFORMATION (christene_danca@ucsb.edu)\n  \nAs climate change has become a central topic of discussion\, laced with the uncertainty of tomorrow\, the UCSB Graduate Center for Literary Research has invited scholars from a variety of disciplines to reframe their conversations with a focus on this ubiquitous topic as it has been interpreted in literary fiction\, as well as within the arts. \nOriginally coined by Dan Bloom\, Climate-Fiction\, popularly known as Cli-Fi\, is a type of fiction that explores what the earth might become if climate change continues at its current rate\, and specifically if humans do not intervene to save the planet. \nAs many successful authors\, such as Margaret Atwood\, T. C. Boyle\, Amitav Ghosh\, Ursula Le Guin\, Lydia Millet\, David Mitchell\, and Leslie Marmon Silko\, have contributed to promulgating the topics of climate change and global warming into the public eye\, Cli-Fi has gained prominence as more than a fringe genre. \nJoin us on April 18-19\, 2020 from 10 a.m. each day in the McCune Conference room\, for a robust exploration of what constitutes Climate Fiction today. \nKeynote presenter\, John Shoptaw\, has been writing about and teaching ecopoetry and ecopoetics in the English Department at UC Berkeley. Currently\, he is exploring the ecopoetics and ecopoetry of climate change. His most recent publication is a climate fiction\, titled “Whoa!” that is a retelling of Ovid’s Metamorphoses (book 2)\, in Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics. Among his other publications\, is Time’s Beach\, a collection of poems that evokes the cultural and environmental history of the Mississippi watershed\, and On the Outside Looking Out: John Ashbery’s Poetry\, a study of Ashbery’s poems through the form of a flow chart. \nSponsored by the Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:Talk: Missing Babies and Tacit Tolerance of Infanticide in Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:Aggressive criminal prosecution of unwed mothers who killed their newborns in early modern Europe (1550-1750) has led historians to assume that Europe was less tolerant of illegitimacy and infanticide than other pre-modern societies\, including China and Japan. New research throws this assumption into question. In early modern Geneva\, authorities often turned a blind eye to the untimely deaths and abandonment of unwanted bastards. These findings suggest that Europeans took a more practical approach to managing fertility than we had thought. \nSara Beam\, Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Victoria (Canada)\, is the author of numerous works on judicial violence\, including torture\, in early modern Europe\, with a special expertise on the city of Geneva. She is especially interested in the definition and prosecution of early modern “women’s” crimes\, including infanticide and adultery. She is completing a book manuscript on the decline of judicial torture in Europe from 1550-1750 and an edition and translation of a seventeenth-century infanticide trial. Her first book\, Laughing Matters: Farce and the Making of Absolutism in France (2007)\, won the Roland H. Bainton Prize for History. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of History\, Early Modern Center\, Department of French and Italian\, and the Hull Chair in Women’s Studies
