SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Buddhismcrip - Queered Variabilities
DESCRIPTION:People performing diverse embodiments of sexualities\, gender\, and variable physical and neurological patterns\, among others\, often encounter specific difficulties and sometimes hostility when practicing Buddhism. In this talk\, Professor Bee Scherer will look at these experiences of abjection\, their grounding in social psychology\, and how they relate to positions found in Buddhist philosophy and narratives. How can we negotiate oppressive readings of\, for example\, key Buddhist notions such as karma\, No-Self\, and detachment? How can we address structural marginalization and discrimination of “dis/abilities” (variabilities) and sexual and gender diversity in Socially Engaged Buddhist activism and as communities of practice? \nFrom their experience in academia and as a Tibetan Buddhist teacher\, Professor Scherer will discuss strategies of inclusion and give examples of liberatory practices. \nProf. Bee Scherer (they\, them\, their) has been practicing for decades in the Sakya and Kagyu traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and has been serving as a dharma teacher for more than fifteen years. Formerly the chair of Religious Studies and Gender Studies at Canterbury CCU in the U.K.\, Bee now heads Buddhist Studies at the Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam and directs the national Dutch Buddhist chaplaincy training program. Trained in the classical Buddhist languages\, Bee has published widely in Buddhist Studies as well as in gender and sexuality theory (Queer and Trans* Studies) and in Critical Disabilities Studies. Both as an academic and as a queer/non-binary/trans* and dis/ability advocate\, Bee brings their unique perspective to Buddhist practice\, embodiment\, and social engagement. \nRegister for the Zoom attendance link here. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, Department of Comparative Literature\, and Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:Inaugural Lecture: Too Much or Too Little?
DESCRIPTION:For a long time\, information was scarce. Messages and letters were transmitted at the speed of human or equine legs. The materials upon which information was inscribed were either too heavy or too perishable to circulate. But by the end of the eighteenth century\, as machines took over\, not only the means of transmitting information but what counted as information had changed. Knowledge and experience now yielded to the objectivity of information\, grounded\, for example\, in the laws of probability. Strictly speaking\, there was no such thing as “too much information.” Today\, everything is a potential source of information: the living beings carrying genetic information\, the starlight carrying information about the distant origin of the universe\, the earth and skies stocked with sensors\, the complete libraries existing online. If we have a question for an expert on the other side of the world\, we receive an answer so promptly in real time that we do not even notice its delay. In his talk\, Kittler will consider the history of our relationship to information and how the abundance of information available today is both too little and too much. A reception will follow. \nWolf D. Kittler is Professor in the Germanic & Slavic Studies Department at UC Santa Barbara. His research interests include Western literature from Greek antiquity to the present\, philosophy\, art history\, history of science\, media technology\, and critical theory. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Too Much Information series \nThe talk and audience Q&A will also be live-streamed on Zoom from 4-5:30 PM. \nImage\, left side panel: Muse\, perhaps Clio\, reading a scroll (Attic red-figure lekythos\, Boeotia\, c. 430 BC)\, commons.wikimedia.org\nImage\, right side panel: Banksy\, Mobile Lovers\, 2014\, crop from photo by Daz Smith\, creativecommons.org

SUMMARY:Conference: Satyajit Ray and the Sense of Wonder
DESCRIPTION:This three-day conference and accompanying film series have been organized to celebrate the birth centenary of the renowned Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray (1921-1992). Most critical evaluations of Ray\, which tend to focus on his films while overlooking his considerable literary and design output\, have consecrated him as a modernist master or a postcolonial auteur. Such discussions are often couched in terms of modernity and tradition\, Orientalism and nativism\, objectivity and irrationality\, skepticism and enchantment\, art cinema and popular cinema. Instead\, we focus on wonder\, an affect that cuts transversally across these polarities\, as an analytical category that enables fresh perspectives from which to assess Ray’s contributions to Bengali culture\, Indian modernity\, and global cinema. We address his stature as the bestselling author of Bengali-language young adult fiction as well as one of the most revered graphic artists of modern India. While Ray has been widely hailed as an artist upholding a universal brand of humanism\, the conference seeks to flesh out his singularity in terms of a vernacular modernism and a critical humanist orientation. \nThe conference is organized by Bhaskar Sarkar\, Professor Film and Media Studies\, and Bishnupriya Ghosh\, Professor of English and Global Studies\, on behalf of the Global-Popular Workshop\, with generous support from the UC Humanities Research Institute; Center for South Asian Studies\, UC Santa Cruz; and the Carsey-Wolf Center\, Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies\, Department of Film and Media Studies\, IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group\, and College of Letters and Science\, UC Santa Barbara. \nImage: Satyajit Ray’s poster for the film Devi\, 1960

SUMMARY:TMI Talk: Make a Poem Cry: Creative Writing from California’s Lancaster Prison
DESCRIPTION:Make a Poem Cry is an anthology from one of California’s high-security prisons brought to us through the creative writing classes of Luis J. Rodríguez. Rodríguez and formerly incarcerated writer Kenneth E. Hartman have selected work penned from 2016 to 2018. These are poems\, essays\, stories\, and more mined from the depths of familial\, racial\, and economic violence. They are imaginings for how to address trouble and crime without punishment\, dehumanization\, and violence in return. Here’s restorative/transformative justice in action. Here’s redemption in the flesh. Here are voices and viewpoints needed for a just and equitable world for all. In this TMI series event\, Hartman and Rodríguez will discuss how the project makes visible the experience of incarceration–about which there is too little information–as well as read selected works from the anthology. A reception will follow. \nKenneth E. Hartman was convicted of murder at nineteen and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. After he had served thirty-eight years\, former California governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. commuted his sentence\, and Hartman was paroled in 2017. He’s presently a freelance writer who is also working as a development coordinator and prison programs specialist for a Los Angeles-area nonprofit. His 2009 memoir\, Mother California: A Story of Redemption Behind Bars\, won the 2010 Eric Hoffer Award. Hartman edited Too Cruel\, Not Unusual Enough\, a collection of prisoner writings about life sentences without the possibility of parole\, which won a 2014 Independent Publisher Book Award. His work has appeared in the New York Times and Harper’s. \nLuis J. Rodríguez was the poet laureate of Los Angeles from 2014 to 2016. Across forty years\, he taught creative writing as well as conducted poetry readings\, lectures\, and healing circles in prisons\, juvenile lockups\, and jails throughout the United States\, Mexico\, Central America\, South America\, and Europe. He is the founding editor of Tia Chucha Press and cofounder of Tia Chucha’s Centro Cultural & Bookstore in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles. Rodríguez is the author of sixteen books of poetry\, children’s literature\, fiction\, and nonfiction\, including the best-selling memoir Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Too Much Information series and the Hester and Cedric Crowell Endowment

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: The Bones of Contention
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Leo Cabranes-Grant (Spanish and Portuguese\, Theater and Dance) and Juan Pablo Lupi (Spanish and Portuguese) about Cabranes-Grant’s new play\, The Bones of Contention. Refreshments will be served. \nThe Bones of Contention describes the efforts of Yitipaka (an imaginary California town) to regain its economic and social stability after the COVID pandemic. Constructed as two collective latinx murals (one dedicated to the older generation\, one dedicated to younger people)\, the play confronts frictions produced within that community by conflicted financial\, environmental\, political\, and emotional demands. The play also combines different aesthetic styles (with elements that are both Brechtian and magic-realist) in order to envision a space in which nature and cultural differences meet and confront each other. With this play\, Cabranes-Grant has tried to create a pluricultural work\, one that encompasses the extraordinary diversity of California while offering actors and directors an opportunity to support more inclusive forms of story-telling. \nLeo Cabranes-Grant is Professor of Literature\, Performance\, and Intercultural Poetics in the Departments of Spanish and Portuguese and Theater and Dance at UCSB. His scholarly work has received the Association for Theater in Higher Education Best Essay Award (ATHE\, 2011). His most recent book\, From Scenarios to Networks. Performing the Intercultural in Colonial Mexico\, was published by Northwestern University Press (2016). Professor Cabranes has also published four books of poetry and a collection of his plays. His plays have received awards in Puerto Rico (Best Play\, Institute of Puerto Rican Culture\, 2006) and in New York (Asunción Award\, Pregones\, 2011; Hispanic Federation Fuerza Fest Award\, 2022). Professor Cabranes was Editor of the prestigious journal Theatre Survey\, published for the American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR) by Cambridge University Press. At the moment\, Professor Cabranes is working on two scholarly projects: a book on Søren Kierkegaard’s theories of performance\, and a book on the connections among performance\, racial identities\, and painting in eighteenth-century Mexico. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment \nWatch a video of the performance of The Bones of Contention.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Intellectual Disability\, the English Law\, and the Fools of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries
DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine how fools in early modern drama and literature were considered intellectually disabled\, if viewed in the light of early modern criteria for intellectual disability. The English law was the discipline that most of all strove to conceptualize such a disability: calling it idiocy\, it defined it as someone’s incapacity to manage property. Such thinking influenced the way literary characters were represented on the stage and page. Hence\, they showcased a tendency to be interrogated\, to be on the verge of bankruptcy\, and to be vulnerable victims of ruthless guardians. Insights from contemporary disability studies theory will help historicize literary fools as idiots. \nDr. Alice Equestri is a Lecturer in English literature at the University of Padua as well as a Research Associate at the University of Sussex\, where she held a position as Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow between 2017 and 2019. She has published two monographs: Literature and Intellectual Disability in Early Modern England: Folly\, Law\, and Medicine 1500-1640 (Routledge\, 2021) and The Fools of Shakespeare’s Romances (Carocci\, 2016)\, which was awarded the AIA PhD Dissertation Prize 2015. Her essays have appeared or are due to appear in venues including the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Literature\, Renaissance Studies\, Notes and Queries\, and Disability Studies Quarterly. \nThe event will also be available via Zoom here. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, the Early Modern Center of the English Department\, the Comparative Literature Program\, and the Graduate Center for Literary Research

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:Research Focus Group Discussion: Disability in Latin American and Latinx Contexts
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion on disability in Latin American and Latinx contexts. While disability studies is a diverse and evolving field\, much of the focus has been on exploring disabled bodyminds in the context of the Global North\, often leaving out questions of neoliberalism\, colonialism\, and racialization. This conversation will begin to explore how scholars interested in disability might begin expanding this conversation by including both Latin American and US Latinx perspectives on the bodymind. The conversation will be centered around two readings: the introduction to Libre Accesso: Latin American Literature and Film through Disability Studies and a short story by Ramón García\, entitled “Amor Indio: Juan Diego of San Diego.” \nShanna Killeen will moderate this event. They earned their MA in English from Oregon State University in 2017. They specialize in disability studies and queer studies with a particular focus on neurodivergence\, crip Latinx art and literature\, and aromanticism. Their dissertation\, entitled “Affect Aliens: On Neurodivergent and Aromantic Epistemologies\,” explores affective norms and the ways in which certain kinds of bodyminds come to be pathologized as lacking in affect. Their work turns to the contemporary aesthetic and discursive practices of neurodivergent and aromantic people to ask what this can tell us about affect\, interrelationality\, and care. \nWorks Cited:\nAntebi\, Susan\, and Beth Ellen Jörgensen. “Introduction: A Latin American Context for Disability Studies.” Libre Acceso: Latin American Literature and Film through Disability Studies\, State University of New York Press\, 2016.\nGarcía\, Ramón. “Amor Indio: Juan Diego of San Diego.” Virgins\, Guerrillas & Locas: Gay Latinos Writing on Love\, 1st ed\, Cleis Press\, 1999. \nFor the readings\, please write to: disabilitystudies@english.ucsb.edu \nRegister for the Zoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, Comparative Literature Program\, and Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Transnational Jewish Tradition and Memory in the Landscapes of Maurice Sendak
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the role of Jewish folk traditions and memory in the picture books of the late Maurice Sendak (1928-2012)\, with special attention to Sendak’s handling of landscape and natural elements. Sendak’s own biography reflects a move in the 1970s from the urban spaces of Brooklyn and Manhattan to the forested landscape of Ridgefield\, Connecticut. His work speaks to the experience of first-generation children of immigrants in early twentieth-century America\, drawing on a Yiddish-inflected upbringing\, a troubled early consciousness of Nazi Europe and the Holocaust\, inherited memories of destroyed worlds\, and other elements that exceed national boundaries. Moskowitz argues that Sendak’s work values the “wildness” of the natural world\, allegorizing it as a stand-in for the emotional interior of the sensitive human child. \nGolan Moskowitz is Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies at Tulane University\, where he teaches courses on Jewish gender and sexuality\, American pop culture\, Holocaust studies\, and comics and graphic novels. He is the author of Wild Visionary: Maurice Sendak in Queer Jewish Context (2020) and of several publications on intergenerational memory in post-Holocaust family narratives. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Conference: XXV International Colloquium on Mexican Literature: Ciudad y Mujer / Woman and City
DESCRIPTION:This year’s colloquium will place Santa Barbara in the center: its history (as an original town and a colonial city of Spanish migration in past centuries\, as well as Mexican and Central American migration in more recent times); its current situation; the richness of its archives; the attractiveness of its streets. With that in mind\, we will explore how women intervene in urban space and temporality\, and the ways they construct memory and experience. \nFor our congress\, the two themes are integrated into one: woman and the city in history\, culture\, literature\, and in other arts and disciplines\, suggesting innumerable ways of understanding. Therefore\, the presentations and conferences will also address topics on women founders and foundations\, women in transition and on the borders\, indigenous peoples and gentrification\, (un)safe spaces and times for women. \nOurs is an interdisciplinary and inclusive colloquium of an academic and educational nature. It is an event that is not for profit\, and will be free and open to the public in general\, and to the scholarly community and friends of our university. This many years of continuity are proof of an activity that directly connects with the culture and the modern history of Santa Barbara\, home to our institution. \nThursday\, Nov. 10\, 2022: Mosher Alumni Hall UCSB.

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:Humanities Decanted: Hollywood’s Embassies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Ross Melnick (Film and Media Studies) and Charles Wolfe (Film and Media Studies) about Melnick’s new book\, Hollywood’s Embassies: How Movie Theaters Projected American Power Around the World. Refreshments will be served. \nBeginning in the 1920s\, audiences around the globe were seduced not only by Hollywood films but also by lavish movie theaters that were owned and operated by the major American film companies. These theaters aimed to provide a quintessentially “American” experience. Outfitted with American technology and accoutrements\, they allowed local audiences to watch American films in an American-owned cinema in a distinctly American way. \nIn a history that stretches from Buenos Aires and Tokyo to Johannesburg and Cairo\, Melnick considers these movie houses as cultural embassies. He examines how the exhibition of Hollywood films became a constant flow of political and consumerist messaging\, selling American ideas\, products\, and power\, especially during fractious eras. Melnick demonstrates that while Hollywood’s marketing of luxury and consumption often struck a chord with local audiences\, it was also frequently tone-deaf to new social\, cultural\, racial\, and political movements. He argues that the story of Hollywood’s global cinemas is not a simple narrative of cultural and industrial indoctrination and colonization. Instead\, it is one of negotiation\, booms and busts\, successes and failures\, adoptions and rejections\, and a precursor to later conflicts over the spread of American consumer culture. A truly global account\, Hollywood’s Embassies shows how the entanglement of worldwide movie theaters with American empire offers a new way of understanding film history and the history of U.S. soft power. \nRoss Melnick is Professor of Film and Media Studies at UC Santa Barbara. He is the author of American Showman: Samuel “Roxy” Rothafel and the Birth of the Entertainment Industry\, 1908–1935 (Columbia\, 2012) and coeditor of Rediscovering U.S. Newsfilm: Cinema\, Television\, and the Archive (2018). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Leah Goldberg's Psychogeographical Mapping of Hebrew Children's Culture
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the comparative representations of the Mizrahi immigrant and the Holocaust refugee through the motif of the child immigrant to Israel in the mid-20th century through the work of Leah Goldberg (1911-1970). A prolific modernist poet\, author\, playwright\, literary translator\, and comparative literary critic who chaired the Department of Comparative Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, Goldberg’s focus upon dislocation and language in her work for both adults and children is informed by the forced migrations that she experienced both as a child during World War I and as an adult during World War II. In this talk\, Feldman reevaluates Goldberg’s contributions to Hebrew modernism and children’s literature with special focus upon how her fiction collapses the border between the literary landscapes and geographical ones\, defamiliarizing and democratizing the haunting landscapes of her childhood as well as new spaces of Israeli toponymy\, in particular the liminal spaces that connect Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to migrant camps and children’s communities on the Kibbutzim. Feldman interprets Goldberg’s handling of these topics through the lens of psychogeographical mapping\, or charting the “specific effects of the geographical environment\, consciously organized or not\, on the emotions and behavior of individuals” (Debord 1955) – arguing that Goldberg’s impulse to explore the effects of geographical space upon her child subjects signals a particularly modernist resistance to nationalist-Zionist narratives. \nRachel Feldman is a doctoral candidate in Comparative Literature at UC Santa Barbara\, where she is finalizing her dissertation\, “The Mother Tongues and Multilingual Specters of Modern Hebrew Children’s Literature\,” which explores how a new constellation of authors – linguists\, translators\, poets\, and artists – turned to multimodal children’s literature and children’s systems in order to reconcile major sociolinguistic ideological concerns\, particularly in negotiating modern Hebrew as a their new “mother tongue” in light of its persistent role as a “heritage language.” The dissertation argues that these authors’ development of a discrete yet radically polyphonic modern Hebraist writing aimed at an intergenerational and multilingual audience employed children’s genres to discretely promote counter-hegemonic ideas about Hebrew heritage language learners. Feldman is a UC President’s Dissertation Year Fellow and Max Kade Fellow 2022-2023\, a co-convener of the IHC Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group and a graduate organizer of the upcoming 26th International Research Society for Children’s Literature (IRSCL) Congress 2023\, “Ecologies of Childhood\,” to be hosted August 12–17 by UC Santa Barbara\, in collaboration with Stanford University. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group \nPhoto Credit: Anna Riwkin-Brick\, 1950

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Consensus without Collaboration? The Future of Emotion Research from the Perspective of History
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, multiple disciplines have converged on a biocultural understanding of human emotion\, sensation and experience\, but knowledge production in disciplinary silos remains. This talk is about the discipline of history’s positionality in this budding\, if unwitting\, consensus among social neuroscientists\, social psychologists\, transcultural psychiatrists\, neurophilosophers\, and social scientists. Positioning history as a bridge builder\, it nevertheless outlines the significant obstacles to genuine transdisciplinary collaboration. \nRob Boddice (Ph.D.\, FRHistS) is Senior Research Fellow at the Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence in the History of Experience\, Tampere University\, Finland. He is the author/editor of 13 books\, including Knowing Pain: A History of Sensation\, Emotion and Experience (Polity Press\, 2023)\, Humane Professions: The Defence of Experimental Medicine\, 1876-1914 (Cambridge University Press\, 2021) and A History of Feelings (Reaktion\, 2019). A leading scholar in the history of emotions\, his revised and fully updated second edition of The History of Emotions is forthcoming from Manchester University Press. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Emotions in History Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Jody Enders\, Translating Medieval Farce
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Jody Enders (French and Italian) and Leo Cabranes-Grant (Spanish and Portuguese\, Theater and Dance) about Enders’ two new edited and translated volumes of medieval French comedies. Refreshments will be served. \nTrial by Farce: A Dozen Medieval French Comedies in Modern English (University of Michigan Press\, 2023)\nIn Trial by Farce\, prize-winning theater historian Jody Enders brings twelve of the funniest legal farces to English-speaking audiences in a refreshingly uncensored but philologically faithful vernacular. Newly conceived as much for scholars as for students and theater practitioners\, this repertoire and its familiar stock characters come vividly to life as they struggle to negotiate the limits of power\, politics\, class\, gender\, and\, above all\, justice. Through the distinctive blend of wit\, social critique\, and breathless boisterousness that is farce\, we gain a new understanding of comedy itself as form of political correction. In ways presciently modern and even postmodern\, farce paints a different cultural picture of the notoriously authoritarian Middle Ages with its own vision of liberty and justice for all. Theater eternally offers ways for new generations to raise their voices and act. \nImmaculate Deception and Further Ribaldries: Yet Another Dozen Medieval French Plays in Modern English (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2022)\nIn the sacrilegious world of Immaculate Deception\, the third volume in a series of stage-friendly translations from the Middle French\, twelve engagingly funny satires target religious hypocrisy in that in-your-face way that only true slapstick can muster. There is literally nothing sacred. Why this repertoire and why now? The current political climate has had dire consequences for the pleasures of satire at a cultural moment when we have never needed it more. It turns out that the proverbial Dark Ages had a lighter side; and France’s over 200 rollicking\, frolicking\, singing\, and dancing comedies—more extant than in any other vernacular—have waited long enough for their moment in the spotlight. They are seriously funny: funny enough to reclaim their place in cultural history\, and serious enough to participate in the larger conversation about what it means to be a social influencer\, then and now. Rather than relegate medieval texts to the dustbin of history\, an unabashedly feminist translation can reframe and reject the sexism of bygone days by doing what theater always invites us to do: interpret\, inflect\, and adapt. \nJody Enders is Distinguished Professor of French at UC Santa Barbara and Director of The Public Speaking Initiative. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

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
