SUMMARY:GCLR Talk: Interdisciplinarity and Interpretation: A Comparative Method
DESCRIPTION:Different institutional arrangements have historically been devised to house and support what is described as interdisciplinary work\, including in the form of entire universities\, specific schools and departments\, standalone institutes and centers\, and survey courses firmly lodged within disciplinary curricula\, to name just a few. At the core of the efforts at interdisciplinarity are two central principles: first\, that of integrative epistemologies that might be applicable to all fields of learning\, including the sciences\, the social sciences\, the humanities\, and the arts. The second principle is that of unified or collaborative modes of knowledge that might be deployed for addressing real-world problems\, such as environmental degradation\, increasingly complex cities\, water shortage and its management\, public health crises\, migration and refugees\, international security\, and the vagaries of globalization\, to name just a few that have captured headlines since the Covid pandemic. While discussing these first ideas of interdisciplinarity\, Prof. Quayson will be introducing a third aspect\, namely\, the protocols of proposition making that emerge from different disciplines and ground them as disciplines as such. Understanding the different protocols of proposition making that apply in different disciplines is fundamental to what we understand as comparative studies of different kinds\, ranging from the literary\, to the social\, to the urban\, etc. He will then spend some time elaborating a supple comparative method from this understanding. \nSponsored by the Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:Conference: Satyajit Ray and the Sense of Wonder
DESCRIPTION:This three-day conference and accompanying film series have been organized to celebrate the birth centenary of the renowned Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray (1921-1992). Most critical evaluations of Ray\, which tend to focus on his films while overlooking his considerable literary and design output\, have consecrated him as a modernist master or a postcolonial auteur. Such discussions are often couched in terms of modernity and tradition\, Orientalism and nativism\, objectivity and irrationality\, skepticism and enchantment\, art cinema and popular cinema. Instead\, we focus on wonder\, an affect that cuts transversally across these polarities\, as an analytical category that enables fresh perspectives from which to assess Ray’s contributions to Bengali culture\, Indian modernity\, and global cinema. We address his stature as the bestselling author of Bengali-language young adult fiction as well as one of the most revered graphic artists of modern India. While Ray has been widely hailed as an artist upholding a universal brand of humanism\, the conference seeks to flesh out his singularity in terms of a vernacular modernism and a critical humanist orientation. \nThe conference is organized by Bhaskar Sarkar\, Professor Film and Media Studies\, and Bishnupriya Ghosh\, Professor of English and Global Studies\, on behalf of the Global-Popular Workshop\, with generous support from the UC Humanities Research Institute; Center for South Asian Studies\, UC Santa Cruz; and the Carsey-Wolf Center\, Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies\, Department of Film and Media Studies\, IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group\, and College of Letters and Science\, UC Santa Barbara. \nImage: Satyajit Ray’s poster for the film Devi\, 1960

SUMMARY:6th Annual GCLR Conference: Memory and Movement
DESCRIPTION:The Graduate Center for Literary Research (GCLR)\, in collaboration with UCSB’s Memory Studies Reading Group\, is hosting an interdisciplinary conference examining the interplay between memory and movement through a wide range of perspectives and disciplines. \nMichael Rothberg will deliver the keynote address on “The Implicated Subject: Art\, Activism\, and Historical Responsibility.” Arguing that the familiar categories of victim\, perpetrator\, and bystander do not adequately account for our connection to injustices past and present\, Rothberg offers a new theory of historical responsibility through the figure of the implicated subject. Implicated subjects occupy positions aligned with power and privilege without being themselves direct agents of harm; they contribute to\, inhabit\, inherit\, or benefit from regimes of domination but do not originate or control such regimes. Drawing on his forthcoming book The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators\, Rothberg will discuss examples of implication taken from different national contexts\, including South Africa and the United States\, and from different social realms\, including art and activism. The lecture will illustrate how the position of the implicated subject can offer a lens for addressing different scales and temporalities of injustice\, but can also provide a lever for rethinking resistance and solidarity across social location. \nMichael Rothberg is the 1939 Society Samuel Goetz Chair in Holocaust Studies and Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His latest book is The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators (2019)\, which is being published by Stanford University Press in their “Cultural Memory in the Present” series. Previous books include Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization (2009)\, Traumatic Realism: The Demands of Holocaust Representation (2000)\, and\, co-edited with Neil Levi\, The Holocaust: Theoretical Readings (2003). With Yasemin Yildiz\, he is currently completing Inheritance Trouble: Migrant Archives of Holocaust Remembrance for Fordham University Press. \nPlease visit our website (https://gclr.complit.ucsb.edu/) for the schedule of events and additional information.

SUMMARY:Democratic Affections: Film\, Philosophy\, and Religion in the Thought of Stanley Cavell
DESCRIPTION:The death this year of Stanley Cavell brought to an end a unique and exceptionally rich life in philosophy\, one that continues to inspire readers and colleagues throughout the humanities and the humanistic social sciences. In this two-day interdisciplinary symposium commemorating Cavell’s career\, UCSB faculty from across the campus invite Cavell scholars from Europe and America to join in a discussion of his extraordinary contributions to our understanding of the affective dimensions of democratic life\, particularly as these play out in film\, religion\, and what Cavell terms Emersonian Perfectionism. \nThe first day (Thursday February 14)\, which will focus on Cavell and Film\, will conclude with a screening at UCSB’s Carsey-Wolf Center of the Hollywood classic The Lady Eve and an accompanying Q&A. The second day (Friday February 15) will focus on Cavell and Religion and Philosophy. \nFor conference schedule and details please visit https://hscif.org/democratic-affections/ \nFor the screening event please visit https://www.carseywolf.ucsb.edu/pollock-events/ladyeve/ \nThe Cavell Symposium is co-sponsored by The Center for Humanities & Social Change\, the College of Letters and Science\, the Graduate Center for Literary Research\, the Department of Philosophy\, the Carsey Wolf Center\, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the Literature and the Mind Program\, the Departments of Religious Studies\, of Political Science\, Film and Media Studies\, French and Italian\, and the Comparative Literature Program.

SUMMARY:Talk: Translation and Decolonization
DESCRIPTION:In the colonial space\, one imperial language presents itself as the Logos incarnate\, in contrast to the local indigenous vernaculars which are then deemed lacking and incomplete. How the act of translation\, of “putting in touch” languages (Antoine Berman\, The Experience of the Foreign)\, creates linguistic equality and reciprocity\, even in a colonial situation\, is the topic of this presentation. \nSouleymane Bachir Diagne is a professor at Columbia University in the departments of French and Philosophy. He is currently the Director of the Institute of African Studies. His areas of research and publication include History of Philosophy\, History of Logic and Mathematics\, Islamic Philosophy\, and African Philosophy and Literature. His latest publications in English include: Islam and the Open Society: Fidelity and Movement in the Philosophy of Muhammad Iqbal\, Codesria\, 2010; African Art as Philosophy: Senghor\, Bergson\, and the Idea of Negritude\, Seagull Books\, 2011; The Ink of the Scholars: Reflections on Philosophy in Africa\, Codesria\, 2016; Open to Reason: Muslim Philosophers in Conversation with the Western Tradition\, Columbia University Press\, 2018\, and Postcolonial Bergson\, forthcoming by Fordham University Press. \nSponsored by the Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:Symposium: Rediscovering U.S. Newsfilm
DESCRIPTION:In the twentieth century\, U.S. filmmakers generated tens of thousands of hours of newsfilm that was screened in movie theaters or viewed on television sets across the country. This vast output of news coverage\, covering the period from the 1910s to the 1970s\, has not been matched by a scholarly effort to understand it. To address this persistent oversight\, this symposium will\, for the first time in the United States\, bring together many of the nation’s leading newsfilm scholars and archivists to present new and foundational work that is featured in the new book Rediscovering U.S. Newsfilm: Cinema\, Television and the Archive (AFI/Routledge\, 2018)\, edited by Mark Cooper\, Sara Levavy\, Ross Melnick\, and Mark Williams. \nThis symposium\, organized by Ross Melnick and Charles Wolfe\, is free and open to the public and begins on Thursday\, October 25th at 4:30pm and continues until Saturday\, October 27th at 12:30pm. A newsfilm screening event\, organized by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and University of South Carolina’s Moving Image Research Collections\, will be held in conjunction with the symposium at the Pollock Theater at 7pm on Thursday\, October 25th. \nSponsored by the Carsey-Wolf Center\, the College of Letters and Sciences\, the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts\, the Center for Cold War Studies\, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, and the Department of Film and Media Studies. \nPhoto: Courtesy of Library of Congress
