SUMMARY:Regeneration Talk: Maintaining Life\, Repairing the World: Ethics\, Philosophy\, and Literature
DESCRIPTION:The COVID pandemic appeared as a threat to human life\, both in the vital sense (a risk to biological life) and in the social sense (a risk to social life: disruption from the suspension of activities\, lack of public transport\, closure of schools\, etc.). It has revealed radical vulnerabilities: of institutions\, the species\, and the planet; of fragile populations\, workers “on the front line\,” and each individual. The importance of caring for others and for those who care for “us” has become obvious\, while the broader ignorance of society as to what sustains it has finally become evident. The very grammar of care has imposed itself upon all of us\, because our vulnerabilities are never so visible as when the “normal” form of life has been disrupted. The pandemic\, in its destruction of the space of ordinary life and of “weak links” – places where the daily and anonymous interactions occurred – has also undermined the democratic public space. This talk considers how public life and human interactions can recover. Alexandre Gefen and Sandra Laugier will explore how arts and literature contribute to the expectation of reparation and social transformation\, the (re)creation of relationships\, the formation of social resilience and other narratives\, and the development of an ethic of care. \nAlexandre Gefen is a Research Professor (Directeur de recherche) at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS – Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)\, and Deputy Scientific Director of the Institute of Human and Social Sciences of the CNRS. His research focuses on literary theory and contemporary French literature and culture. As founder of the website Fabula.org\, he has developed parallel research interests in the development of Digital Humanities. His recent books include: Vies imaginaires de la littérature française (2014); Réparer le monde: La littérature française face au XXIe siècle (2017)\, which will appear in English in 2022; and L’idée de littérature. De l’art pour l’art aux écritures d’intervention (2021). \nSandra Laugier is Professor of Philosophy at Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne (Paris\, France)\, a Senior Fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France\, and the Principal Investigator of the European Research Council (ERC) project DEMOSERIES. She has published extensively on ordinary language philosophy (Wittgenstein\, Austin\, Cavell)\, moral and political philosophy\, gender studies and the ethics of care\, and popular culture (film and TV series). She has translated most of Stanley Cavell’s work and is among the editors of his Nachlass. Her recent publications include: Why We Need Ordinary Language Philosophy (2013); Politics of the Ordinary. Care\, Ethics\, and Forms of Life (2020); and\, edited with Greg Chase and Juliet Floyd\, Cavell’s Must We Mean What We Say? at Fifty (2022). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Regeneration series\, Hester and Cedric Crowell Endowment\, Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, Graduate Center for Literary Research\, Center for Humanities and Social Change\, and Comparative Literature Program

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Passing for Perfect Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:In her new book\, Passing for Perfect\, erin Khuê Ninh considers the factors that drove college imposters such as Azia Kim—who pretended to be a Stanford freshman—and Jennifer Pan—who hired a hitman to kill her parents before they found out she had never received her high school diploma—to extreme lengths to appear successful. Why would someone make such an illogical choice? And how do they stage these lies so convincingly\, and for so long? \nThese outlier examples prompt Ninh to address the larger issue of the pressures and difficulties of striving to be a “model minority\,” where failure is too ruinous to admit. Passing for Perfect insists that being a model minority is not a myth but is coded into one’s programming as an identity—a set of convictions and aspirations\, regardless of present socioeconomic status or future attainability—and that the true cost of turning children into high-achieving professionals may be higher than anyone can bear. \nerin Khuê Ninh is an Associate Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She is the author of Ingratitude: The Debt-Bound Daughter in Asian American Literature\, which won the 2013 Literary Studies Book Award from the Association for Asian American Studies. \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84816328894 \nImage: Temple University Press \nSponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Asian Pacific Islander Graduate Student Alliance (APIGSA)

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: Shakespeare and Global Media Works in Progress Event #2
DESCRIPTION:In our second Works-in-Progress workshop\, we will discuss various strategies and resources for conducting archival work\, receiving funding\, and getting involved in larger scholarly activities (such as conferences\, journals\, and symposia) related to Shakespeare and Global Media. We will build on our previous work of cultivating a multimedia bibliography\, as well as developing questions and frameworks that interrogate established modes of scholarly production. We will consider questions like: What does it mean to do “global Shakespeare”? What methods and approaches push the boundaries of scholarship? Where and how do we engage with productions that are considered under the umbrella of “global Shakespeare”? What resources are available to us\, and what is missing? \nThrough this workshop series\, we hope to generate new research and expand upon work already in progress. We invite scholars from all disciplines who are interested in broadening their own research skillset to join our workshop. \nResources and bibliographies from these events will be available after the completion of this event. \nRegister to Attend \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/82581382288?pwd=cW43SWZNVk5pdHk5V08vODFUWVErdz09 \nSponsored by the IHC’s What Is a Shakespeare?: Shakespeare and Global Media Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Discussion: Dysgenic Stories: Field Worker Reports\, Contradiction\, and Confinement at Sonoma State Home\, 1920-1921
DESCRIPTION:Our discussion will focus on Isidro González’s paper and another piece of scholarship. González’s research focuses on Sonoma State Home for the Feebleminded in Eldridge\, California\, and how eugenics field workers—those involved in observing and notating nonnormative (“dysgenic”) phenotypic\, familial\, and lifestyle attributes of institutionalized people—crafted individualized clinical narratives of “inmates” to not only legitimize their profession\, the state employer\, and the Eugenics Record Office (ERO)\, but also to surveil\, pathologize\, and medicalize “unfit” human beings. In so doing\, they worked to demarcate the line between idealized white\, able-bodied\, middle- and upper-class citizens and poor\, racialized\, disabled\, and dispensable individuals in the United States. The result was the loss of personal freedom\, the inability to engender children\, and the state and medical establishment’s attempt to halt the propagation of those with lower IQ scores\, poor folks\, non-Protestants\, and those who strayed in body and mind from an exalted whiteness. What this study contributes to the histories of institutionalization\, disability\, race\, gender\, and eugenics is that it highlights the on-the-ground data collection practices of a single field worker at Sonoma State Home to see how the logics of racism\, classism\, ableism\, and sexism functioned to explain the supposed dysgenic traits of institutionalized people and their social networks. Central questions framing this research are: which qualities\, attributes\, and markers did field workers seek in “inmates” and families in order to qualify them as inferior humans\, and how did field workers quantify these markers? Also\, what was the human standard\, in body and mind\, and could “inmates” be fixed or engineered to fit the standard (or fit a standard)? \nIsidro González is a doctoral student in the Department of History\, working at the intersection of race\, disability\, mental illness\, and science in U.S. history. \nPlease register for the Zoom attendance link here and contact disabilitystudies@english.ucsb.edu if you have any questions. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group

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:Research Focus Group Talk: Reclaiming Confiscated African Histories
DESCRIPTION:Zoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/s/81168927411 \nHow do histories of a people get confiscated? And what is the significance of indigenous epistemologies in reclaiming stolen\, silent\, and distorted histories? These are some of the fundamental questions that underlie Professor Shadreck Chirikure’s research on Great Zimbabwe\, a prominent symbol of African civilizations of Southern Africa that colonial historiography tried very hard to wrest away from Africans over the last two centuries. Professor Chirikure has produced several publications from his archaeological work at Great Zimbabwe and related sites\, including his recent book\, Great Zimbabwe: Reclaiming a “Confiscated” Past. We welcome him to UCSB to speak to us about this significant book. \nProfessor Chirikure holds a British Academy Global Professorship within the School of Archaeology at Oxford. He is Professor of Archaeology\, Director of the Archaeological Materials Laboratory\, Director of the African Heritage Hub and Research Centre\, and a former Head of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Cape Town. \nCo-sponsored by the IHC African Studies Research Focus Group and the Africa Center

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: Phillis Wheatley's Desire to Look
DESCRIPTION:At a time when aesthetic philosophy defined whiteness in terms of the ability to behold and surveil the world\, Phillis Wheatley Peters developed new forms of countervisuality in Poems on Various Subjects\, Religious and Moral (1773). Badley’s essay focuses on Peters’ ekphrastic poetry\, which portrays her lyric personae gazing upon paintings\, people\, and landscapes in ways that mark the limits of visual perception. By dramatizing spectatorship as a meditation upon opaque surfaces and inscrutable sentiments\, Peters conjures a Romantic subjectivity that recasts the racial and gendered hierarchies of the eighteenth century. \nChip Badley is a Lecturer in English at the University of California\, Davis. He is at work on a book project concerning aesthetics\, race\, and sexuality in American literature during the long nineteenth century. His writing has appeared or is forthcoming in J19: A Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists\, the Henry James Review\, and the Oxford Handbook of Charles Dickens. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Group

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

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Post and the Shell: The Sacrificability of Animals in the Vedic Village
DESCRIPTION:Zoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/87209704725 \nIn this talk\, Jonathan Dickstein will discuss anatomical and residential animal taxonomies as represented in canonical Vedic texts of the second and first millennia BCE. The Brāhmaṇas (900-650 BCE) in particular emphasize a residence-based categorization of animals into two main categories: “village animals” (grāmya) and “wilderness animals” (āraṇya). Following a discussion of the complexities of these two classes\, Dickstein will pivot to the relationship between residence and the concept of medha\, a quasi-anatomical characteristic that establishes a being’s fitness for sacrifice. The objective of this talk is to highlight the Vedic ontologization of residence\, explore the anatomization of sacrificability\, and preview ethical perspectives on killing and eating animals in the Vedic and post-Vedic periods. \nJonathan Dickstein is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His research focuses on South Asian religious traditions\, comparative ethics\, animals and religion\, and religion and ecology. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/87209704725

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: Works-in-Progress Series: Developing an Archive
DESCRIPTION:In our first Works-in-Progress workshop\, we will discuss various strategies and resources for developing archives related to Shakespeare and Global Media. This will include cultivating a multimedia bibliography that extends to potential source texts\, critical works\, and theoretical approaches\, as well as developing questions and frameworks that interrogate established modes of scholarly production. We will consider questions like: What does it mean to do “global Shakespeare”? What methods and approaches push the boundaries of scholarship? Where and how do we engage with productions that are considered under the umbrella of “global Shakespeare”? What resources are available to us\, and what is missing? \nThrough this workshop series\, we hope to generate new research and expand upon work already in progress. We invite scholars from all disciplines who are interested in broadening their own research skillset to join our workshop. This first event will also serve as a stepping stone to further discussion in the winter and spring quarters among our developing community. \nResources and bibliographies from these events will be available after the completion of this event. \nRegister to Attend \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84344069992 \nImage: “Archives’ stacks” by dolescum is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 \nSponsored by the IHC’s What Is a Shakespeare?: Shakespeare and Global Media Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Exploding the Khoi and San Colonial Stereotypes\, Reclaiming African Histories
DESCRIPTION:Academic historians have largely represented the Khoi and the San people of Southern Africa as marginal to the production of the region’s history\, deleting their place in the emergence and development of African civilization and self-liberation. As a public historian\, intellectual\, activist and healer\, Attaqua’s voice has intervened to forcefully reframe the history of the indigenous people of Southern Africa. In this talk\, she will speak about the Khoi and San’s long struggle against the historical and epistemic silencing. \nAttaqua is a South African indigenous historian\, social justice activist\, knowledge keeper\, and oral and visual storyteller. She was born in District Six\, Cape Town\, in 1964. She is from the clan Herandien from Zoar\, the Attaqua nation in the Western Cape. A fighter against the Apartheid state\, she was forced to flee South Africa to Germany and the United Kingdom\, where she studied and assisted the banned South African Congress of Trade Unions. She returned to South Africa in 1990 where she continued to work for the Department of International Affairs of the African National Congress. In 1994\, Attaqua joined the film industry where she cut her teeth in fiction and documentary film making. She lives in Johannesburg where she works doing holistic indigenous treatments and consultations dealing with colonial\, inter-generational\, historical and oppression trauma. \nCo-sponsored by the IHC African Studies Research Focus Group and the Africa Center \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/86978353518?pwd=dzZsQ0ZsOVVaNmhFTjR3bk95K3ZEZz09 \n

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Chalk Talk: Moving Beyond One Dimensional Shakespeare in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Students often shy away from Shakespeare in their classes\, but educators can also get nervous about teaching the Bard! Our goal for our pedagogical discussion is to reflect on our own experiences learning about and teaching Shakespeare in the classroom and how we can enhance our future teaching practices\, particularly through the lens of utilizing global media and socio-culturally aware pedagogy. We will provide links to optional pre-event resources after registration\, but we invite everyone from any discipline interested in developing their understanding of the Bard in the classroom to join us in our discussion. \nSponsored by the IHC What Is a Shakespeare?: Shakespeare and Global Media Research Focus Group \nRegister to Attend \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/81896036637

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Reading Group Discussion: The Possibilities of Undisciplining with Sharon Kinoshita’s “Worlding Medieval French Literature”
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on October 18th at 2 pm in HSSB 3001E for a reading group discussion of Sharon Kinoshita’s chapter\, “Worlding Medieval French Literature\,” in eds. Christie McDonald and Susan Rubin Suleiman\, French Global: A New Approach to Literary History (New York: Columbia University Press\, 2010). As the first IHC Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender Research Focus Group event of the year\, we will begin by discussing Kinoshita’s chapter and where un-disciplining and re-disciplining might possibly lead us as we focus our attention on the intersections of premodern histories of race and gender beyond a Eurocentric purview. Please email jessicazisa@ucsb.edu for access to the reading. \nSponsored by the IHC Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender Research Focus Group and UCSB Medieval Studies

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Making Sense of Melothesia: Embodying the Zodiac in Ancient Rome and India
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Tejas Aralere will present a comparative analysis of the zodiacal melothesia as it appears in Manilius’s Astronomica\, a Latin astrological epic poem (ca. 20–40 CE)\, and in Sphujidhvaja’s Yavana Jātaka ( “Greek Horoscopy”)\, a Sanskrit astrological treatise (ca. second century CE). Melothesia refers to the mapping of the twelve signs of the Babylonian zodiac on twelve regions of the human body over which they possess particular influence. In a brief discussion of the connections between these two texts\, Aralere will show how the Romans and Indians employ the zodiacal melothesia in strikingly different ways and for different purposes that reflect their distinctive cultural contexts. This makes earlier theories that posit “direct transmission” of the Yavana Jātaka from Greece to India highly implausible. Aralere’s comparative study will illuminate the connections between Manilius’s use of melothesia and Roman imperial political ideologies and Sphujidhvaja’s use of melothesia and Vedic ritual and legal traditions. \nThis event will be held in person (4080 HSSB) with the option to join via Zoom here: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/81601164112. \nTejas Aralere is a doctoral student in the Department of Classics at UC Santa Barbara. His research explores the complex networks of exchange of ancient astronomical\, astrological\, and medical knowledge between the Mediterranean and India and seeks to re-evaluate Orientalist narratives that claim that “rational” scientific knowledge flowed unidirectionally from the ancient Mediterranean to India. \nSponsored by the IHC South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group and UCSB Department of Classics

SUMMARY:Inaugural Lecture: Environmental Justice as Regeneration
DESCRIPTION:The grassroots environmental justice movement and the field of environmental justice studies have evolved in creative and inspiring directions over the years. Recent work focuses on the challenges of envisioning and realizing abolition\, confronting anthropogenic climate change/disruption\, and articulating transformative approaches to achieving ecologically healthy and socially equitable policy-making for a “just transition.” This presentation considers what each of these areas of scholarship and politics could signal for the future of environmental justice and for advancing grounded and uplifting frameworks for regenerative development. Audience Q&A will follow. \nDavid N. Pellow is the Dehlsen and Department Chair of Environmental Studies and Director of the Global Environmental Justice Project at UC Santa Barbara\, where he teaches courses on environmental and social justice\, race/class/gender and environmental conflict\, human-animal conflicts\, sustainability\, and social change movements that confront our socioenvironmental crises and social inequality. He has published a number of works on environmental justice issues in communities of color in the U.S. and globally. His recent books include: What is Critical Environmental Justice? (2017); Keywords for Environmental Studies (editor\, with Joni Adamson and William Gleason\, 2016); and Total Liberation: The Power and Promise of Animal Rights and the Radical Earth Movement (2014). He has volunteered for and served on the Boards of Directors of several community-based\, national\, and international organizations that are dedicated to improving the living and working environments for people of color\, immigrants\, indigenous peoples\, and working class communities\, including the Global Action Research Center\, the Center for Urban Transformation\, the Santa Clara Center for Occupational Safety and Health\, Global Response\, Greenpeace USA\, and International Rivers. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Regeneration series \nLive closed-captioning and Spanish interpretation will be provided. \n  \nCONFERENCIA INAUGURAL: JUSTICIA AMBIENTAL COMO REGENERACIÓN \nEl movimiento base por la justicia ambiental y el campo de los estudios de justicia ambiental han evolucionado en direcciones creativas e inspiradoras a lo largo de los años.
