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.

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Irwin Appel\, Naked Shakes
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a dialogue between Irwin Appel (Theater and Dance) and James Kearney (English) about Appel’s theater company\, Naked Shakes\, and their recent production of Twelfth Night\, staged outside at UCSB’s Commencement Green in front of the lagoon. Audience Q&A will follow. \nNaked Shakes derives its rather provocative name from the principle that an actor in a bare theatrical space\, along with meticulous attention to language\, few technical elements\, and the collective imagination of the audience\, can create what Prospero in The Tempest calls “rough magic\,” hopefully revealing the true heart\, meaning\, driving force\, and original inspiration behind a Shakespeare play. This theatrical style demands actors who are highly skilled in voice and text\, and simultaneously greatly expressive with their physicality and imaginations. Entrances and exits are not necessarily literal or linear; an actor can simply exit by pulling down a mask or picking up a musical instrument. With the inspiration and creative power of our choreographers and designers\, Naked Shakes blends wild\, actor-generated theatricality with razor sharp attention to language and imagery. As an audience member\, one may\, at times\, experience a veritable visual feast while also being able to close one’s eyes and absorb the sound and text as if one were listening to a radio play or podcast. \nIrwin Appel (he/him/his) is Professor and Chair of the Department of Theater and Dance at UCSB. As a professional director\, Equity actor and composer/sound designer\, he has worked with the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles\, Shakespeare Santa Cruz\, Orlando Shakes\, the New York\, Oregon\, Utah\, New Jersey\, and Colorado Shakespeare Festivals\, Southwest Shakespeare Company\, The Acting Company\, Theatre For a New Audience\, Hartford Stage\, Indiana Repertory Theatre\, Arizona Theatre Company\, PCPA\, both the National Theatre Conservatory and Colorado New Play Summit at the Denver Center of the Performing Arts\, the Bread Loaf Acting Ensemble\, and other prominent regional theaters. In Europe\, he acted the role of Pandarus in Troilus and Cressida in the Czech Republic with the Prague Shakespeare Company at the renowned Estates Theatre where Mozart premiered Don Giovanni in 1787. He is the founder and artistic director of Naked Shakes\, producing Shakespeare’s plays at UCSB\, in the United States\, and internationally since 2006. For Naked Shakes\, he has created two major adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays: first\, The Death of Kings\, combining eight Shakespeare history plays from Richard II through Richard III into one event that has been performed in California\, Arizona\, and the Czech Republic. Second and most recently\, he combined Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra and Julius Caesar\, along with parts of George Bernard Shaw’s Caesar and Cleopatra\, into one play entitled Immortal Longings. He has also has led workshops and lectured about Naked Shakes in China\, Greece\, Switzerland\, Poland\, and the Czech Republic. He is a graduate of Princeton University and the Juilliard School. www.deathofkings.com \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

She is a second-year doctoral student in the Department of Native American Studies and currently conducts research within the Environmental Policy and Management department at the University of California\, Davis-unceded Southern Wintun territory. \nMelinda’s heartwork focuses on the reclamation of Indigenous land stewardship practices (specifically\, cultural fire) at the intersection of ecology\, environmental policy and rooted in Indigenous pedagogies and methodologies. Her work privileges Matriarchal Ecological Knowledge and seeks to: contextualize climate observations via intergenerational knowledge transfer\, provide space for socio-ecological-cultural healing\, and inform CA state fire and climate policy. \nThe Syuxtun Plant Mentorship Collective is cooperatively run by 20 dedicated TEK practitioners\, the majority of whom are Chumash and other indigenous people living in the Chumash homeland. “We dedicate ourselves to the re-indigenizing of our relationships with the land and all her beings by treating all species and elements\, including water\, like family\, like elders\, like brothers and sisters\, to whom we are directly accountable for our behavior. We use a horizontal power-sharing structure\, in which each person has an opportunity to lead\, depending on need\, skill\, and time available. Our founder\, Julie Cordero-Lamb\, emphasizes a return to ongoing\, hands-in-the-dirt\, pruners-in-the-bushes approach to tending the land. As a collective\, we have learned European\, Linnaean-style plant taxonomy and nomenclature\, and use it as a stopgap to keep us safe while we regenerate our older\, non-binary ways of knowing and caring for our relatives.” \nJulie Cordero-Lamb (she.her) is a grassroots herbalist and teacher of traditional regenerative horticulture in her family’s homeland\, the unceded tribal territory of the central coastal Chumash. She is an enrolled member of the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation\, and founded the Syuxtun Plant Mentorship Collective in 2016. Julie also co-founded the Chumash Maritime Association in 1996\, which brought traditional Chumash plank canoes back into the Chumash family circle. She did her MA/PhD work at UC Santa Barbara\, but opted out of an academic career in order to practice traditional regenerative horticulture at the grassroots\, community level\, and to raise her children on her farm in Washington state. She writes\, makes things\, grows and preserves food\, and farms 8 acres in the cedar forests in the Salish Sea area with her spouse\, two children\, two housemates\, their two children\, and many special plants and animals. \nThis event is the part of the webinar series\, A Wakeup Call for Climate Justice?

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Race\, Caste\, Hierarchy\, Difference: Reflections on Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste
DESCRIPTION:ATTEND DISCUSSION \nIn Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents\, Isabel Wilkerson brings together the freighted categories of “race” and “caste” and argues that\, while the two are not synonymous\, they “can and do coexi st in the same culture and serve to reinforce each other.” Wilkerson suggests that racism is the visible manifestation of a hidden and insidious caste system\, a system of social domination that uses human differences in order to construct a ranking of human value. “Race\, in the United States\, is the visible agent of the unseen force of caste. Caste is the bones\, race the skin.” Wilkerson examines the “modern-day caste protocols” in the “inner workings of American hierarchy” in which she makes unsettling comparisons between America’s four-hundred-year-old racial hierarchies\, India’s three-thousand-year-old caste system\, and Nazi Germany’s racializing project of Aryanism. \nIn this talk Vincent Wimbush will interrogate the ways in which the categories of race\, caste\, hierarchy\, and difference coincide\, collide\, and collude in Wilkerson’s work\, reflecting out of his own studies of the ways in which Black communities in the United States have historically negotiated meaning and power through engaging\, resisting\, and transgressing the sociocultural formations woven around racializing regimes of signification. Amit Ahuja will respond to Wimbush’s talk and will reflect on Wilkerson’s book from the perspective of his studies of the processes of inclusion and exclusion at work in caste hierarchies\, ethnic politics\, and racialized subaltern groups in India. \nVincent Wimbush is Director of the Institute for Signifying Scriptures and Professor Emeritus at Claremont Graduate University. His publications include African Americans and the Bible: Sacred Texts and Social Textures (editor\, 2000); The Bible and African Americans: A Brief History (2003); and White Men’s Magic: Scripturalization as Slavery (2014). Amit Ahuja is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His publications include Mobilizing the Marginalized: Ethnic Parties without Ethnic Movements (2019) and a forthcoming volume\, The Janus Faced Leviathan: The State and Internal Security in Modern India. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group \nATTEND DISCUSSION

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

SUMMARY:Talk: Women in Cooperative Agricultural Production and Consumption: The Case of Rio de Janeiro’s Rede Ecológica
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThe presentation will illuminate the multiple roles played by women within the infrastructure of the Rede Ecologica (Ecological Consumers’ Network) in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil. These include: relations established with the agroecological producers; campaigns and other educational activities focused on the theme of food\, nutritional security\, and family-based agricultural practices; communication and networking with other social movements\, among others. Through an intersectional feminist approach\, we will analyze concrete experiences within territories in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro\, such as the Serra da Misericórdia\, which highlight the ways in which women with different racial\, ethnic\, and class backgrounds\, lead collective efforts to combat the high level of hunger and food insecurity by reinforcing agroecological practices in different public areas and inventing new strategies for distributing products via direct links with consumers who enjoy the benefits of healthy\, organically grown food. Such processes reinforce the links between producers and consumers\, as well as bridging the division between rural and urban areas. They also reveal the ways in which a new logic for economic and social relations is being constructed\, including a new approach to those “care-taking” tasks historically undertaken by rural and urban women that are vital for social reproduction and for fulfilling basic human needs within the capitalist system. \nANA PAULA Da CRUZ SANTOS is an urban farmer and co-founder of the community-based organization Center for Integration “Serra da Misericórdia” (CEM) in Rio’s Penha neighborhood. She belongs to the Ecological Network and is a member of the Food Security Council (RJ). She also participates in the women’s working group of the Agroecology Network of the Metropolitan area of RJ. \nRODICA WEITZMAN holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (IPPUR/ UFRJ) and carried out her post-doctorate research in the field of Social and Environmental Conflict at the Institute in Urban and Regional Planning and Research (IPPUR/ UFRJ). She belongs to the women’s working group in the National Agroecology Network\, the research group Gender and Ruralities (CPDA/UFRRJ)\, the Ecological Network (RJ)\, and the Food Security Council (RJ). Since 1996\, she has worked with diverse social organizations in Brazil and on the international level in the construction\, evaluation\, and monitoring of social projects and public policies\, with a strong focus on gender issues and its intersections with family–based sustainable agriculture\, food security\, social and environmental conflicts\, and climate change. \nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series\, which welcomes feminist militants from Latin America to share their perspectives and experiences on building popular power towards a mass feminist movement. Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent. \nCosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB History Department\, UCSB Feminist Studies Department\, UCSB Latin American and Iberian Studies Program\, UCSB Global Studies Department\, UC San Diego Latin American Studies Program\, and UCSD Institute for Arts and Humanities \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Willing Ethnic-Nationalists\, Diffusion\, and Resentment: A Micro-Foundational Account
DESCRIPTION:ATTEND DISCUSSION \nUsing evidence concerning the consolidation of Hindu nationalism in India\, Aseema Sinha presents new ethnographic data about the variety of popular support for the Hindutva project and proposes an interactive theory of social identity. This framework helps us understand how Hindu nationalism becomes embedded in society. She argues that Hindu nationalism in India could be fruitfully analyzed by focusing on the processes through which ideas of exclusive nationalism spread among middle classes and are expressed in micro-level psychological changes at the individual level. The consolidation of Hindu nationalism in India is being authored not only by parties and the state but also by societal actors\, and more specifically ordinary middle-class Indians. Hindu nationalism has been spreading in micro-public spheres in times of apparent peace and between elections and with the participation of willing supporters\, bystanders\, and hardliners. Sinha suggests the need to focus on interlinked micro-level mechanisms such as diffusion and emulation of Hindu-centric beliefs and ideas\, mobilization by hardliners and organizations\, and impunity protected by state agencies. \nAseema Sinha is the Wagener Chair of South Asian Politics and George R. Roberts Fellow in the Government Department at Claremont McKenna College. Her research interests focus on the political economy of India\, India-China comparisons\, and the rise of India as an emerging power. Her publications include The Regional Roots of Developmental Politics in India: A Divided Leviathan (Indiana University Press\, 2005)\, which was awarded the Joseph W. Elder Prize in the Indian Social Sciences by the American Institute of Indian Studies. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group \nATTEND DISCUSSION
