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: 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 Talk: The Work of War: Gender and Care in Kabul\, Afghanistan
DESCRIPTION:Zoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84686450683 \nFollowing widows and their families in the aftermath of a suicide attack in Kabul\, Afghanistan\, this talk centers the lives and aspirations of widows amidst serial war and serial humanitarianism. As white sentimentality structures landscapes of care in Kabul\, refusal is what remains. This research is based on more than four years of fieldwork between 2006 and 2013. \nDr. Anila Daulatzai is a sociocultural anthropologist and the Chancellor’s Fellow at UC Berkeley. She has taught in prisons and in universities across three continents. She has been conducting research in Afghanistan as well as with Afghan refugees in Pakistan since 1995. Between 2006 and 2013\, she carried out ethnographic fieldwork in Kabul and taught at Kabul University and at the American University of Afghanistan. Her past and current research projects look at widowhood\, heroin use\, and polio through the lens of serial war. She is currently completing her book manuscript\, provisionally titled “War and What Remains Everyday Life in Contemporary Kabul\, Afghanistan.” \nCosponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group and the Department of Anthropology \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84686450683

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 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: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: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 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: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 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: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:Humanities Decanted: The First Black Archaeologist
DESCRIPTION:Proof of full vaccination required for all attendees. READ MORE TO VIEW ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF VACCINATION DOCUMENTATION. \nJoin us for a dialogue between John W. I. Lee (History) and Krzysztof Janowicz (Geography) about Lee’s new book\, The First Black Archaeologist: A Life of John Wesley Gilbert. Audience Q&A will follow. \nThe First Black Archaeologist reveals the untold story of a pioneering African American classical scholar\, teacher\, community leader\, and missionary. Born into slavery in rural Georgia\, John Wesley Gilbert (1863-1923) gained national prominence in the early 1900s\, but his accomplishments are little known today. Using evidence from archives across the U.S. and Europe\, from contemporary publications\, and from newly discovered documents\, this book chronicles\, for the first time\, Gilbert’s remarkable journey. As we follow Gilbert from the segregated public schools of Augusta\, Georgia\, to the lecture halls of Brown University\, to his hiring as the first black faculty member of Augusta’s Paine Institute\, and through his travels in Greece\, western Europe\, and the Belgian Congo\, we learn about the development of African American intellectual and religious culture\, and about the enormous achievements of an entire generation of black students and educators. \nJohn W. I. Lee is Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Barbara. His previous publications include A Greek Army on the March (Cambridge University Press) and The Persian Empire (The Great Courses/The Teaching Company). He studies the history of ancient West Asia\, especially war\, society\, and culture in the Greek and Achaemenid world from ca. 650-330 BC\, as well as receptions\, interpretations\, and representations of antiquity in the United States\, especially amongst African American classical scholars during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment \n\nProof of full vaccination required for all attendees. READ MORE TO VIEW ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF VACCINATION DOCUMENTATION. All visitors must wear a well-fitting mask that covers their nose and mouth at all times. Bandanas\, gaiters\, face shields alone\, and masks with external valves are not permitted. Any individual who has symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 should avoid campus altogether. (See the university’s interim visitors protocol for additional information.) \nWhen planning your arrival\, please allow extra time for vaccine verification. Doors will open at 3:30 PM. \n\n

SUMMARY:Talk: A Queer\, Queer Race: Orientations for Early Japanese American Literature
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThis online talk will feature discussions and close readings from a chapter in Professor Andrew Way Leong’s forthcoming book\, “A Queer\, Queer Race: Orientations for Japanese/American Literature.” This book examines Japanese and English language texts written by Shōson\, Sadakichi Hartmann\, Arishima Takeo\, and Yoné Noguchi—authors who resided in the United States between the opening of mass Japanese emigration in 1885 and the ban on Japanese immigration imposed by the Immigration Act of 1924. \nAndrew Way Leong is Assistant Professor of English at the University of California\, Berkeley. His research focuses on the literature of Japanese diasporas in the Americas as well as queer and critical theoretical approaches to the study of literary genre\, gendered embodiment\, and generational time. A comparativist\, Leong approaches the study of Asian American literature (and literatures of Asia and the Americas) with special attention to the generative frictions within and among multiple languages and literary traditions. He is the translator of Lament in the Night (Kaya Press 2012)\, a collection of two novels by Shōson Nagahara\, an author who wrote for a Japanese reading public in Los Angeles during the 1920s. \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 UCSB American Cultures & Global Contexts Center

SUMMARY:Regeneration Talk: Infrastructures of Collective Life: A Formalist’s Guide to the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:  \nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nJoin us online for a talk by Caroline Levine. Audience Q&A will follow. \nWhat do scholars of literature and the arts have to offer in response to the climate crisis? The aesthetic humanities have long traditions of insisting on open-endedness\, negation\, and inaction. Levine argues that in this moment of rapid and destabilizing change\, this tradition has reached its political limit. She makes a case for the particular value of formalist methods in rebuilding and remaking our social world. Form has never been an exclusively aesthetic term. A vast range of objects\, from sounds to neighborhoods to coral reefs\, can be analyzed for their structures and patterns\, and in this respect\, formalism belongs to all fields\, or to none. But for this reason\, formalism also has the potential to be a useful meta-disciplinary method\, capable of moving between politics and art\, between sonnets and public transportation systems. This talk will analyze sustainability in formal terms and focus specifically on the forms of sustainable infrastructure in contemporary cities\, including Houston\, Barcelona\, and the Brazilian cities of Belo Horizonte and Curitiba. \nCaroline Levine is the David and Kathleen Ryan Professor of Humanities at Cornell University. She has spent her career asking how and why the humanities and the arts matter\, especially in democratic societies. She argues for the understanding of forms and structures as crucial to understanding links between art and society. She is the author of three books\, The Serious Pleasures of Suspense: Victorian Realism and Narrative Doubt (2003\, winner of the Perkins Prize for the best book in narrative studies)\, Provoking Democracy: Why We Need the Arts (2007)\, and Forms: Whole\, Rhythm\, Hierarchy\, Network (2015\, winner of the James Russell Lowell Prize from the MLA\, and the Dorothy Lee Award for Outstanding Scholarship in the Ecology of Culture\, and named one of Flavorwire’s “10 Must-Read Academic Books of 2015”). She is currently the nineteenth-century editor for the Norton Anthology of World Literature and has written on topics ranging from formalist theory to Victorian poetry and from television serials to academic freedom. \nThis talk is a keynote of the Association for Literary Urban Studies’ 2022 Conference\,  “Cities Under Stress: Urban Discourses of Crisis\, Resilience\, Resistance\, and Renewal.” \nSponsored by the IHC’s Regeneration series \nLive closed-captioning will be provided.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Critical Access Studies
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years after the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act\, much of the built environment remains inaccessible to disabled people. Accordingly\, the vast majority of research and writing on accessibility seeks to convince the unconvinced of the value of inclusion. This field\, which Professor Aimi Hamraie terms “Access Studies\,” would benefit from greater engagement with the concepts\, practices\, and political commitments of critical disability studies. In this talk\, Hamraie will discuss the emerging field of “Critical Access Studies\,” which engages with the methodologies\, epistemologies\, and political commitments of accessibility from the perspectives of Disability Justice and disability culture. Using historical and contemporary examples\, they will show how critical and intersectional perspectives on disability can enable a deeper engagement with the politics of knowing\, making\, and belonging in the twentieth-century United States. \nAimi Hamraie (they/them) is Associate Professor of Medicine\, Health\, & Society and American Studies at Vanderbilt University and Director of the Critical Design Lab. Hamraie is author of Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability (University of Minnesota Press\, 2017) and host of the Contra* podcast on disability\, design justice\, and the lifeworld. They identify as disabled\, SWANA\, and diasporic Iranian. Their interdisciplinary research spans critical disability studies\, science and technology studies\, critical design and urbanism\, critical race theory\, and the environmental humanities. They were just appointed to the US Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board. \nRegister for the Zoom attendance link here. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, Department of History of Art and Architecture\, The History of Science Colloquium\, The Comparative Literature Program\, The Graduate Center for Literary Research \nImage description: An olive-skinned Iranian person with short\, dark curly hair and rectangular glasses smiles at the camera.
