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:Research Focus Group Workshop: Why Different Models of Disability?
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Lambert (Assistant Professor in Special Education and Mathematics Education\, Gevirtz Graduate School of Education\, UC Santa Barbara) will offer a workshop on the different models of disability\, including medical\, social\, political/ relational and complex embodiment. Lambert’s scholarly work investigates the intersections between Disability Studies in Education and mathematics education. She has conducted longitudinal studies of how Latinx students with learning disabilities construct identities as mathematics learners\, and how mathematical pedagogy shapes how teachers perceive students as disabled. \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84716751476?pwd=d3JPWlN0eVFoVlBYeHFtSU1OdGJ6QT09 \nCo-sponsored by the IHC Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, CODE\, the Associated Students Commission on Disability Equality\, and the UCSB Comparative Literature Program

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
