SUMMARY:Maria Josefina Saldaña-Portillo\, "Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States"
DESCRIPTION:Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States\nA Book Talk by Maria Josefina Saldaña-Portillo\nMaría Josefina Saldaña-Portillo is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU and Visiting Professor of English at UC Berkeley. She is the author of The Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of Development (Duke University Press\, 2003) and Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States (Duke University Press\, 2016). Indian Given was awarded the Best Book Award from the National Association for Chicano and Chicana Studies (NACCS) in 2017 \nIn Indian Given María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo addresses current racialized violence and resistance in Mexico and the United States with a genealogy that reaches back to the sixteenth century. Saldaña-Portillo formulates the central place of indigenous peoples in the construction of national spaces and racialized notions of citizenship\, showing\, for instance\, how Chicanos/as in the U.S./Mexico borderlands might affirm or reject their indigenous background based on their location.  In this and other ways\, she demonstrates how the legacies of colonial Spain’s and Britain’s differing approaches to encountering indigenous peoples continue to shape perceptions of the natural\, racial\, and cultural landscapes of the United States and Mexico. Drawing on a mix of archival\, historical\, literary\, and legal texts\, Saldaña-Portillo shows how los indios/Indians provided the condition of possibility for the emergence of Mexico and the United States.\n\nProfessor Saldaña’s presentation addresses the imbrication of NAFTA\, narcos\, and the legacy of the indio bárbaro.\n\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday April 12th 2018\nTime: 3:00pm\nLocation: Charles E. Young Research Library\, Main Conference Room 11360\nOrganized by the Department of Gender Studies \nCo-Sponsored by The Center for the Study of Women\, American Indian Studies Center\, American Indian Studies Interdepartmental Program\, Department of English and The Latin American Institute

SUMMARY:Nicole George\, "Women\, Peace\, and Security through a Vernacular Frame: Global/local frictions in Solomon Islands and Bougainville"
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Asian American Studies\nSince the early 2000s\, United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Women Peace and Security\, and particularly UNSCR 1325\, have become a key focus of policy making and gender advocacy for those aiming to promote women’s roles in conflict resolution and conflict transition in the western Pacific Islands region. But in these contexts\, arguments about the rights of women to be recognized as those who bear specific sorts of burdens in times of instability\, or those who bring particular types of skills or insights to the processes of post-conflict governance also come into friction with vernacular notions of security and localized sentiments about the foundations for the safe ordering of community. In this presentation Nicole George reflects on recent academic development of the concept of vernacular security and the insights this work might offer into the challenges surrounding promotion of women peace and security principles in this region. George then draws upon lessons learned from research with everyday communities of women impacted by the long process of conflict transition. George examines where and how frictions occur between conceptualizations of gendered security that uphold women’s rights to safety and participation\, and those which equate gendered security with respect for\, and adherence to\, gendered codes of responsibility to family and community. \nNicole George is a leading feminist in Oceania and the author of Situating Women: Gender Politics and Circumstance in Fiji (Australian National University Press\, 2012). \nDATE: April 9\, 2018 \nTIME: 3:00 PM \nLOCATION: Rolfe 2125

SUMMARY:Ari Heinrich\, "Chinese Bodies as Biological Surplus: Plastinated Cadavers and Geopolitical Hierarchies of the Human""
DESCRIPTION:Part of Area Impossible: Sexuality and Geopolitics\n\nThe first event in the UCLA Department of Comparative Literature 2017-2018 Sexuality & Geopolitics Seminar Series will feature Ari Heinrich\, Associate Professor of Literature and Cultural Studies at UCSD. Their lecture\, “Chinese Bodies as Biological Surplus: Plastinated Cadavers and Geopolitical Hierarchies of the Human” will question what a comparative examination of Chinese-language discourse on the plastinated human cadaver exhibits might reveal about the political economics of race and capital distribution that inform them.A firestorm of human rights critiques often greets the opening of an exhibit of plastinated cadavers in Europe and North America\, obscuring any attempts to critique the notion of the human (and indeed of “rights”) in the smoke from its blaze. This talk asks what a comparative examination of Chinese-language discourse on the plastinated human cadaver exhibits might reveal about the political economies of race and capital distribution that inform them.\nDate: February 27\, 2018 \nTime: 5:30 – 8:00 PM \nLocation: Humanities 348

SUMMARY:Curating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method
DESCRIPTION:At a time when performative resistances to exploitative mainstream cultural practices are increasingly under attack\, punk persists as an important space for cultivating and curating expressive means. Punk’s resistant literacies and performances are often in defiance of institutional rigors that carve exclusionary boundaries. Yet\, as punk celebrates its long fortieth birthday\, punk’s contested annals are increasingly not only part of but also help shape institutional efforts to exceed canonic representations. Bringing together scholars\, musicians\, fans\, writers\, and community members\, including bands\, public intellectuals\, and workshops to augment the conventional structure of the academic panel\, Curating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method is teaming up with the UCLA Library Special Collections “Punk Archive” for hands-on\, thoughtful community building within\, across\, and beyond the university. This two-day event\, hosted by the UCLA Center for Musical Humanities\, focuses on the interstices of punk and archive\, using both as method\, so as to push the boundaries of these three terms and practices. The conference focuses on documenting punk musicality\, how sound repertoires and archival practices can give shape to the lived contours of diversity across scale\, from the local to transnational\, and what this means in terms of empowerment for research and endeavors that destabilize this colonial history of the academy. Punk as archival method curates resistance by contributing to these larger conversations via the possibilities of musical subcultures’ collaborative systemic interruptions. \nCurating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method will include speaker panels\, punk performances\, and renowned figures drawn from the gendered and politicized worlds of both musical and visual punk artistry.

SUMMARY:Josh Lambert\, "New Media Jews: Transparent\, Podcasting\, and the Place of Jews in 21st-Century American Culture"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Josh Lambert (Yiddish Book Center/University of Massachusetts\, Amherst) \nNaftulin Family Lecture on Studies in Jewish Identity \nHow can we explain the prominence of Jews and Jewishness in 21st-century American media? At a moment when companies like Amazon and Netflix were making billion-dollar gambits to reach massive audiences with their own original content\, it turned out to be Jill Soloway’s Transparent\, that proved that a website could beat out the cable and broadcast television networks at the Golden Globes and Emmys. This lecture proposes that we consider the current wave of Jewish culture as resulting from two key developments: the increasing institutionalization of Jewish culture in America since the late 20th-century\, and the affinity between streaming media technology and demographic minorities. \nModerator: Lia Brozgal (UCLA) \n  \nWhile this event is free and open to Leve Center members\, pre-registration is required. \nE-mail cjsrsvp@humnet.ucla.edu or call 310-267-5327 to register.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Dolores
DESCRIPTION:A special screening of Dolores\, the new documentary film about activist Dolores Huerta. \nHistory tells us Cesar Chavez transformed the U.S. labor movement by leading the first farm workers’ union. But missing from this narrative is his equally influential co-founder\, Dolores Huerta\, who fought tirelessly alongside Chavez for racial and labor justice and became one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century. \nLike so many powerful women advocates\, Dolores and her sweeping reforms were – and still are – sidelined and diminished. Even as she empowered a generation of immigrants to stand up for their rights\, her relentless work ethic was constantly under attack. False accusations from foes and friends alike\, of child neglect and immoral behavior—she married three times and raised 11 children – pushed Dolores out of the very union she helped create. \nPeter Bratt’s provocative and energizing documentary challenges an incomplete history. Through beautifully woven archival footage and interviews from contemporaries and from Dolores herself\, now an octogenarian\, the film sets the record straight on one of the most effective and undervalued civil and labor rights leaders in modern U.S. history. \nView the trailer: \n\nOrganized by the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs \n

SUMMARY:Ranjani Mazumdar\, "Technological Networks and Obsolescence in Contemporary Bombay Cinema"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Ranjani Mazumdar \nProfessor\, School of Arts and Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Dehli\, India \nOrganized by the UCLA Center for India and South Asia \nThis paper looks at the role of media and communication technologies in the sensorial imagination of urban spaces in contemporary Bombay cinema. If surveillance practices and their resultant structuring becomes one part of this imagination (No Smoking 2007\, LSD 2010\, Ugly\, 2013)\, we also see the role of the Internet and social media in the framing of spatial encounters in small town India (Masaan 2015). A fascination for ‘obsolete’ technology frames another order of space linked to the recent past (Gangs of Wasseypur 2012\, Miss Lovely 2012\, Dum Lagake Haisha\, 2015)\, while documentary films like John and Jayne (2005) invoke the call centre imagination within a fractured urban subjectivity. Through a framing of the spatial terrain triggered by new media technologies\, the films offer a new geography of the experiential changes unravelling in contemporary India. \n Ranjani Mazumdar is Professor of Cinema Studies at the School of Arts & Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Her publications focus on urban cultures\, popular cinema\, gender and the cinematic city. She is the author of Bombay Cinema: An Archive of the City (2007) and co-author with Nitin Govil of the forthcoming The Indian Film Industry. She has also worked as a documentary filmmaker and her productions include Delhi Diary 2001 and The Power of the Image (Co-Directed). Her current research focuses on globalization and film culture\, the visual culture of film posters and the intersection of technology\, travel\, design and colour in 1960s Bombay Cinema. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: Silent Song of the Genjer Flowers
DESCRIPTION:This filmed stage play highlights the perspectives of women activists of Gerwani (Indonesian Women’s Movement) who were political prisoners from 1965\, suffered sexual violence\, and were stigmatized for decades as immoral women in Indonesia. During that time hundreds of thousands of members of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) or those considered close to the PKI were murdered and tens of thousands also also imprisoned. Out of this upheaval came the military backed New Order regime\, under General Suharto. \nScholars have argued that the New Order regime legitimized itself through the demonization of female sexuality used to evoke fear of communism in society. The myth of Gerwani as a monster was not only a justification for the mass slaughter and dictatorship but also the removal of women from the political realm. During the New Order era\, women’s role in public areas was allowed as long as it was within the structures defined by the state\, which positioned women as obedient to and dependent on men. Gerwani had been an organization that fought for women’s rights in all areas. The regime’s black slander has erased Gerwani’s real role from our memory. The play offers a counter-discourse by depicting the experience of the five former political prisoners. \nFaiza Mardzoeki is an Indonesian playwright\, director\, producer\, and activist. Since 2002\, she has initiated and produced fourteen theatre productions\, some of which she wrote herself. Of these dramas\, three were published as books in 2017. These are her adaptations of Ib-sen’s A Dolls House\, (Nora) and An Enemy of the People (Subversif!) published by Djaman Baroe and her original play Nyanyi Sunyi Kembang-Kembang Genjer (Silent Song of the Genjer Flowers) published by Ultimus. In addition to theatre\, Faiza is also active in women movements. Between 1997 and 2002 she worked for Solidaritas Perempuan- Women’s Solidarity for Human Rights. She has participated and presented in many international forums of art and women.

SUMMARY:Kathryn Dudley\, "Trusting Mustangs: Feral Ontologies\, Trans-Species Affects"
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Dudley’s research focuses on embodied knowledge and social trauma under regimes of labor that are marginalized by transformations in global capitalism. Her books The End of the Line: Lost Jobs\, New Lives in Postindustrial America and Debt and Dispossession: Farm Loss in America’s Heartland are community studies\, respectively\, of deindustrialization and the demise of family farm agriculture. Her documentary film Black Land Loss examines African American farmers’ class action lawsuit against the USDA. Guitar Makers: The Endurance of Artisanal Values in North America chronicles the rise of a countercultural lutherie movement in the United States and Canada. Her current work tracks the affects\, materialities\, and temporalities that subtend the postindustrial imaginary. Among other honors\, Dudley received the Margaret Mead Award of the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology for writing that reaches broadly concerned publics.

SUMMARY:Forms of Power and the Power of Forms: Annual Comparative Literature Grad Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year’s UCLA Comparative Literature Graduate Conference will explore the many ways in which form colludes and contends with\, is created by and creates\, power. From epic poetry to the English sonnet to the novel\, literary forms have conspired with power to produce political identities and practices of domination. Indeed\, one might argue that certain forms were produced by and in the service of power in the first instance. Likewise\, writers and artists have mobilized (literary) form as a site for remix and resistance. Representation—literary\, visual\, or aural—necessarily involves structures of reading\, seeing\, and hearing that hyperlink to powerful modes of knowing and their rebellious detractors.\n\nKeynote speaker: Michelle M. Wright\, Professor of African American Studies and Comparative Literary Studies\, Northwestern University
