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

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

SUMMARY:TMI Talk: Critical Race Theory (CRT): What It Is\, What It Isn’t\, and What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Critical Race Theory (CRT) seeks to understand why inequality persists in a society that has explicitly condemned racism and has repeatedly adopted laws and policies intended to eliminate it. Drawing on research in history\, social sciences\, and the humanities\, CRT demonstrates how laws and policies can reproduce racial inequality—even when they are adopted without explicit racial bias. CRT is thus an important tool to support our nation’s ongoing efforts to achieve a robust multiracial democracy. \nOver the past year\, CRT has been a source of discussion everywhere – in the media\, in school board meetings\, in classrooms – and has generated many questions. During this session\, Taifha Alexander\, UCLA Law CRT Forward Project Director\, will discuss CRT\, its founding\, and contributions\, and the recent assault on the theory. Audience Q&A will follow. \nTaifha Natalee Alexander currently serves as the CRT Forward Project Director at UCLA School of Law Critical Race Studies Program. She graduated\, with honors\, from both Georgetown Law and UCLA School of Law. Taifha has over twelve years of experience in higher education. Her legal studies and research are focused at the intersection of law\, critical race studies\, higher education\, social justice\, and equity. While a law student at Georgetown\, Taifha’s article\, “We Can’t Breathe: How Top Law Schools Can Resuscitate an Inclusive Climate for Minority and Low-Income Students\,” was published in the Georgetown Journal of Modern Critical Race Perspectives. Since earning her J.D.\, Taifha has served in roles at University of South Carolina Aiken\, UCLA\, and Wofford College\, to manifest the recommendations she put forth in her article. Taifha’s commitment to equity\, justice\, and anti-racism was fostered at St. John’s University in Queens\, NY\, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies. \nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link\n \nSponsored by the IHC’s Too Much Information series and the Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment \nImage: Screenshot of the CRT Forward Tracking Project Interactive Map (https://crtforward.law.ucla.edu/)

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Rethinking Non-Violence: The Spiritual and Emotional Lives of Animals in Jain Literature
DESCRIPTION:Why are Jains committed to non-violence (ahiṃsā)? Is it out of a compassion for animals? Is it because of the consequences of violent action on the soul? This talk argues that the answer to these questions depends in part on whether one is reading Jain doctrinal texts or Jain literature. Jain literature in Kannada and Sanskrit offers a rationale for non-violence that is based on an affective materiality that karmically binds souls together across transmigration and in and through animal and human bodies. For these texts\, such bonds mean that the fish on your dinner plate could be your father in ways that complicate the motivations and consequences of non-violence. \nSarah Pierce Taylor is Assistant Professor of South Asian religions at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Her research interests focus on the historical interactions of Jain traditions with Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Her talk will draw on her forthcoming book\, Embodying Souls: Emotion\, Gender\, and Animality in Premodern South Asian Religions\, which engages medieval literature in Sanskrit and Kannada produced by the Digambara Jain community of the western Deccan and argues that Jain literature\, in engaging the breadth of the soul’s experience\, formulated a vision of the human being that exceeded normative constructions and envisioned the human as formerly animal\, conceivably transgendered\, materially bound by emotion\, and relationally connected to a larger group of souls. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Understanding LatDisCrit Contours
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Alexis Padilla will focus on defining and showing the significance of LatDisCrit as a transdisciplinary sub-field. Padilla will use three illustrative counterstories to capture how disability gets racialized in Latinx marginalization dynamics\, while race/ethnicity serves as a proxy for oppressive disablement through exclusionary processes within US settings. \nDr. Alexis Padilla is the Director of Research at the Disability Policy Consortium. Padilla is the author of Disability\, Intersectional Agency\, and Latinx Identity. Theorizing LatDisCrit Counterstories\, a book that links dis/ability and agency by exploring LatDisCrit’s theory and activist emancipatory practice. It refers to the author’s experiential and analytical views as a blind brown Latinx engaged scholar and activist from the global South living and struggling in the highly racialized global North context of the United States. Padilla is a Ph.D. graduate from the Language\, Literacy\, and Sociocultural Studies Department at the University of New Mexico\, Albuquerque. Padilla is also a lawyer\, sociologist\, and conflict transformation engaged scholar. His work explores emancipatory learning and radical agency in the context of decolonial Latinx theorizing and critical disability studies. His published contributions emphasize the activist/disability advocacy vantage point combined with actionable dimensions of inclusive equity research and practice. Padilla’s postsecondary teaching experience encompasses almost three decades. He has more than 20 years of engagement in advocacy and conflict resolution work with Spanish-speaking families and English Language Learning students with disabilities in various U.S. settings. Since Spring 2020\, he has been affiliated with Phillips Theological Seminary to expand his research agenda and his activism scope into intersectional disability theology. \nRegister here for the Zoom attendance link \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, Comparative Literature Program\, and Graduate Center for Literary Research \nASL interpretation will be provided.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Engaging Religious Difference: The Case of Haribhadrasūri
DESCRIPTION:The philosophical corpus attributed to the preeminent eighth-century Śvetāmbara scholar-monk Haribhadrasūri presents one of the most sustained\, systematic\, and multifaceted engagements with religious difference in all of medieval South Asian literature. This talk will examine his various modes of engaging difference and how they fit together: his doxographies surveying the varieties of belief; polemics that advocate critical interrogation of partisan allegiances; rules for debate that seek common ground in the face of divergent identity-based presuppositions; and his philosophical magnum opus on the metaphysics of non-one-sidedness (anekāntavāda)\, which can be read as a way of retrieving agreement in the midst of disagreement. \nAnil Mundra is the Alka Siddhartha Dalal Postdoctoral Fellow for the Study of Jainism at Rutgers University\, New Brunswick. His research focuses on how South Asian philosophers conceptualized doctrinal differences\, navigated disagreements\, and sought agreement with others in the multi-religious ferment of Sanskrit discourse in the late first millennium CE. His talk will draw on his current book project\, No Identity without Diversity: Haribhadrasūri’s Anekāntavāda as a Jain Response to Doctrinal Difference\, which provides a sustained treatment of the contributions of Haribhadrasūri to the development of a premodern Jain cosmopolitanism that accommodated a range of competing voices within a single discourse. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The History of Our Minds: Evidence for Co-Evolution of Cultural and Psychological Processes
DESCRIPTION:Biologically modern humans are more than 200\,000 years old. Many scientists have devoted their lives to understanding how architecture\, social structure\, and language have changed over this history. Yet we know almost nothing about the history of human minds. Behavioral science research has instead focused nearly exclusively on contemporary people\, and psychological theories often draw from taxonomies that assume a culturally and historically stable structure to emotion\, personality\, morality\, and other psychological processes. In this talk\, Joshua Conrad Jackson surveys new insights into how psychological processes may have changed over human history in ways that challenge these taxonomical models. Psychological change is often patterned and predictable based on cultural change\, and general evolutionary principles may explain psychological changes in multiple domains. We now have the methodological and theoretical tools to build a more historically enriched science of human cognition and behavior\, with a basic capacity to make foundational discoveries and an applied capacity to predict human futures. \nJoshua Conrad Jackson is a DRRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and an incoming professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. He studies cultural and historical variation in psychological processes\, focusing especially on morality\, emotion\, religious belief\, and social norm adherence. He also studies the implications of psychological and cultural change for leadership\, conflict\, cooperation\, and human-technology interactions. Dr. Jackson has published over 50 papers and book chapters on these topics\, and has won awards from the Society for Experimental Social Psychology\, the Society for Personality and Social Psychology\, and the Society for Cross-Cultural Research. He received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his B.A. from McGill University. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Emotions in History Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Talk: Art\, Art History\, and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Computation and the Humanities is a series of events at the GCLR investigating the impact of computation on literary and visual research. Guests include researchers\, artists\, and practitioners working within and beyond the digital humanities. On March 20th\, we welcome Dr. Leonardo Impett\, who is a University Assistant Professor in Digital Humanities and convenor of the MPhil in Digital Humanities at Cambridge University. \nIn this talk\, Impett will introduce his current project\, a new history of machine visuality. The stakes are multiple. In the spirit of histories of visuality\, computer vision might tell us something about the dominant modes of thinking about vision over the last century. We might also want to learn something about the scopic regimes of machine vision systems because of their use in surveillance\, automation\, scientific research and so on. More broadly\, Impett will argue that discourses and practices of visuality (and thus a set of only partially explicit theories about seeing) have been central to the invention and development of neural networks\, and thus to contemporary AI more broadly\, from chat-bots to audio systems. \nZoom attendance link here \nPlease visit the GCLR website for full information. \nSponsored by the Graduate Center for Literary Research (GCLR)

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Trust Issues: Debating Medicine and Authority in Medieval India
DESCRIPTION:When it came to medicine in medieval India\, it was hard to know who to trust. Physicians and philosophers employed in royal courts disputed the competing claims to medical authority\, using debates initiated around religious scriptures to assess the authority of canonical Sanskrit medical texts. This talk will focus on arguments made by Ugrāditya\, a physician who was one of many Jain scholars working in the court at Mānyakheṭa of the Rāṣṭrakūṭa king Amoghavarṣa Nṛpatuṅga (r. 815-877). From his position at the center of political power\, Ugrāditya challenged the Sanskrit medical classics and argued that a new understanding of medicine founded on Jain principles was necessary\, negotiating a new space for Jain scholars and physicians in a wider world of medicine. \nEric Gurevitch is a National Endowment for the Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow at Vanderbilt University. His research explores the complex interplay of science and religion in precolonial South Asia and seeks to establish a central place for the sciences in Religious Studies and South Asian Studies. His current book project\, Everyday Sciences: Making Knowledge Local in South Asia\, focuses on a group of Jain authors in southwest India who rewrote the terrain of scholarship in medieval and early modern South Asia by introducing a novel archive of Sanskrit and vernacular texts described as “everyday sciences.” \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:TMI Talk: GPS for the Brain: Networks\, Urbanisms\, Algorithms
DESCRIPTION:Laura Kurgan will talk about her recent work involving network science and urban theory. She will present work from the Center for Spatial Research on the Urban History of Algorithms: Homophily and Weak Ties\, a history which not surprisingly lies dormant in its use in network science. She will also present new work on navigation theory in neuroscience\, which revisits and asks questions about the canonical urban theory of Kevin Lynch (1970) and Fred Jameson’s Postmodernism and the Logic of Late Capitalism (1990). Audience Q&A will follow. \nLaura Kurgan is a Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation at Columbia University\, where she directs the Masters of Science in Computational Design Practices and the Center for Spatial Research (CSR). She is the author of Close Up at a Distance: Mapping\, Technology\, and Politics (2013) and co-editor of Ways of Knowing Cities (2019). \nKurgan’s work explores the ethics and politics of digital mapping and its technologies; the art\, science\, and visualization of big and small data; and design environments for public engagement with maps and data. Her work has been exhibited internationally\, most recently Chicago Architecture Biennial (2019)\, at the Biennale Architettura di Venezia 2018\, and at the Palais De Tokyo in Paris (2016). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Too Much Information series and the Sara Miller McCune and George D.

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:TMI Talk: Creating\, Weaponizing\, and Detecting Deep Fakes
DESCRIPTION:Although varied in their form and creation\, deep fakes refer to AI-synthesized image\, audio\, or video. Deep fakes add to a long line of techniques for manipulating reality\, but their introduction poses new risks because of the democratized access to what would have historically been the purview of Hollywood-style studios. In this talk\, Farid will provide an overview of how deep fakes are created\, how they are being used and misused\, and if and how they can be perceptually and forensically distinguished from reality. Audience Q&A will follow. \nHany Farid is a Professor at the University of California\, Berkeley with a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences and the School of Information. His research focuses on digital forensics\, forensic science\, misinformation\, image analysis\, and human perception. He is the recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship and is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Too Much Information series and the IHC Idee Levitan Endowment  \nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \n

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: The Power of Positionality: Self-Identification in Empirical Legal Writing
DESCRIPTION:What is the impact on and influence of the researcher in law and society? Drawing in part from the author’s empirical research and professional experience\, this workshop will discuss a paper that investigates the benefits and burdens of positionality. Positionality is the disclosure of how an author’s racial\, gender\, class\, or other self-identifications\, experiences\, and privileges influence research methods. A statement of positionality in a research paper can enhance the validity of its empirical data as well as its theoretical contribution. But such self-disclosure also risks exposing a scholar to vulnerability\, especially because those most likely to reveal how their positionality shapes their research are scholars who identify as women\, ethnic minorities\, or both. At this stage of the field’s methodological development\, the burdens of positionality are being carried unevenly by a tiny minority of researchers. The author concludes by inviting all socio-legal scholars to redress this imbalance by embracing positionality. \nMark Fathi Massoud is Professor of Politics and Director of Legal Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He is also Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Oxford. He is the author of two books\, Shari’a\, Inshallah and Law’s Fragile State\, and he is co-editor of the Cambridge Studies in Law and Society book series. Most recently\, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. Find out more at markmassoud.com. \nRead the paper here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Legal Humanities Research Focus Group
