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:Film Screening: Queens of Syria
DESCRIPTION:Queens of Syria tells the story of sixty women from Syria\, all forced into exile in Jordan\, who came together in Autumn 2013 to create and perform their own version of the Trojan Women\, Euripides’s tragedy about the plight of women in war. What followed was an extraordinary moment of cross-cultural contact across millennia\, in which women born in 20th century Syria found a blazingly vivid mirror of their own experiences in the stories of a queen\, princesses and ordinary women like them\, uprooted\, enslaved\, and bereaved by the Trojan War. \nView the trailer: \n\nCo-sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Center for the Study of Women\nUCLA School of Theater\, Film and Television\nUCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies\nPromise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA Law\nUCLA First Year Experience

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

SUMMARY:Disability as Spectacle
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Addresses:\nROSEMARIE GARLAND-THOMSON\, Professor of English & Bioethics at Emory University \n\nDJ KURS\, Artistic Director for Deaf West Theatre \n\nKAREN NAKAMURA\, Robert and Colleen Haas Distinguished Chair in Disability Studies and\nProfessor of Anthropology at the University of California\, Berkeley\n \n\nUCLA’s Disability Studies program announces a two-day conference on Disability as Spectacle (April 13-14\, 2017).  Disability’s representation in current popular culture\, academic discourse\, and political rhetoric raises important questions about how disability is depicted and which disabilities are excluded or rendered invisible in this new cultural landscape.  How does our current moment’s heightened awareness of disability produce benefits and/or disadvantages in other social\, political\, or economic spheres? The conference theme encourages scholars\, practitioners\, artists\, and activists to think critically about disability’s representations and invites them to share ideas about the future of disability rights and Disability Studies as this historically marginalized community continues to make advances in mainstream culture. \nThis conference aims to stimulate a discussion around how society constructs\, reacts\, and embraces or rejects visible and invisible disabilities in the public sphere.  As representations change in popular and political culture\, scholars\, practitioners\, artists\, and activists will need to confront a changing milieu in which (some) disabilities are de-stigmatized while others are prevented from participation. \nThe film and television industry’s role in disability’s changing status makes Los Angeles an ideal location to reflect upon disability as spectacle.

SUMMARY:Scope Lab Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Scope Lab is a workshop series focused on exploring code as a creative medium with which to understand and represent diverse perspectives. These studies are framed by the questions: “Whose perspectives are represented?”\, “Who has access to the tools to learn and express themselves?”\, and “How do we design tools and projects that are more inclusive?”. Each workshop will consist of hands-on programming exercises\, a lecture and discussion\, and projects developed collaboratively. We will be using a software platform called p5.js\, which is an open source JavaScript framework that makes creating visual media with code on the web accessible to artists\, designers\, educators\, and beginners. For questions or to sign up\, please write to scopelab@p5js.org.\n\nWHO IS SCOPE LAB?\nScope lab workshops are free and open for all UCLA students. Workshops may be attended on a drop-in basis\, but we do encourage students to come to the entire series. No prior coding knowledge is necessary\, all levels of experience are welcomed and encouraged. \nScope Lab is led by Lauren McCarthy\, Assistant Professor in the Design Media Arts Department and Miriam Posner\, Director of the Digital Humanities Program\, with Graduate Researchers Stalgia Grigg and Christina Yglesias. Collaborating groups and departments include UCLA Computer Science\, VoidLab (a feminist student collective in the Design Media Arts Department)\, UCLA Arts Software Studio\, and the NYU Ability Project. \n\n\nThe workshops will occur biweekly on Monday evenings\, from 5:30-7:30pm at the Broad Art Center\, room 3261A (New Mars). \nApril 10 | Uncertainty and Experimental Data Visualisation\nMiriam Posner (Digital Humanities) and Lauren McCarthy (Design Media Arts) \nApril 24 | Experimental Language Design\nAlessandro Warth (Computer Science) \nMay 8 | Feminist Artistic Strategies in Online Spaces\nVoidLab \nMay 22 | Multiperspectival Experimental Data Visualisation\nMiriam Posner (Digital Humanities) and Lauren McCarthy (Design Media Arts) \nJune 5 | Designing for Accessibility and Disability \nClaire Kearney-Volpe (NYU Ability Project) \n\n\nFURTHER READING\nCatherine D’Ignazio\, Lauren Klein\, Feminist Data Visualization\nShaka McGlotten\, Black Data\nJohanna Drucker\, 3DH Visualizations\nJohanna Drucker\, Humanities Approaches to Graphical Display\nMimi Onuoha\, Missing Data Sets\nMushon Zer-Aviv\, If Everything is a Network\, Nothing is a Network\nMelissa Gregg\, Inside the Data Spectacle\nKim Gallon\, Making a Case for the Black Digital Humanities  \n\n\nScope Lab is supported by a grant from the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture and the UCLA Center for the Study of Women.

SUMMARY:Christina Sharpe\, "In the Wake: On Blackness and Being"
DESCRIPTION:Christina Sharpe is Associate Professor of English at Tufts University and the author of Monstrous Intimacies: Making Post-Slavery Subject. Her research interests are in black visual culture\, black diaspora studies\, and feminist epistemologies\, with a particular emphasis on black female subjectivity and black women artists. \nThis talk will draw from In the Wake: On Blackness and Being\, forthcoming from Duke University Press. \nIn this original and trenchant work\, Christina Sharpe interrogates literary\, visual\, cinematic\, and quotidian representations of Black life that comprise what she calls the “orthography of the wake.” Activating multiple registers of “wake”—the path behind a ship\, keeping watch with the dead\, coming to consciousness—Sharpe illustrates how Black lives are swept up and animated by the afterlives of slavery\, and she delineates what survives despite such insistent violence and negation. Initiating and describing a theory and method of reading the metaphors and materiality of “the wake\,” “the ship\,” “the hold\,” and “the weather\,” Sharpe shows how the sign of the slave ship marks and haunts contemporary Black life in the diaspora and how the specter of the hold produces conditions of containment\, regulation\, and punishment\, but also something in excess of them. In the weather\, Sharpe situates anti-Blackness and white supremacy as the total climate that produces premature Black death as normative. Formulating the wake and “wake work” as sites of artistic production\, resistance\, consciousness\, and possibility for living in diaspora\, In the Wake offers a way forward.

SUMMARY:Chinyere Oparah
DESCRIPTION:Birth Matters: Research Justice and Black Life\nAfrican American women are 3 to 4 times as likely as white women to die of childbirth related causes\, our infants are twice as likely not to survive their first year. “Birthing while black” is a site of struggle\, which for too many leads to disabling\, trauma or even death. Birth matters in conversations about black life and death\, yet the reproductive autonomy of black women and trans/gender nonconforming pregnant and birthing individuals has only recently gained recognition with the #BlackLivesMatter and #SayHerName movements. Research justice is a strategic framework within which those directly affected by structural violence and discrimination use research tools in order to achieve self determination and lasting social change. Using a research justice approach\, Oparah worked alongside members of Oakland-based collective Black Women Birthing Justice to document black women’s experiences of childbirth\, and to  publish an anthology of critical essays and activist and personal testimonies on black bodies and birth justice. In this talk\, she explores the role of activist scholars in the movement to #LiberateBlackBirth. \nChinyere Oparah is an activist scholar\, social justice educator and experienced community organizer\, who is dedicated to producing critical scholarship in the service of progressive social movements.  Oparah is an African diaspora specialist\, whose interests span a number of different social concerns\, including activism by women of color\, violence against women\, women and the prison-industrial complex\, restorative justice\, queer and transgender liberation\, race and adoption\, research justice and birth activism. Her work is informed by personal experiences of crossing racial\, gendered and national boundaries as a biracial\, transracial/ transnational adoptee\, survivor of intimate violence and queer parent with ties to Britain\, Nigeria and the U.S. \nOparah is Associate Provost and professor and department chair of Ethnic Studies at Mills College. She played a leading role in the establishment of Mills’ Queer Studies Program and sits on the Advisory Committee for that program. She recently led the College’s Gender Expression and Identity initiative\, leading to the production of an important report on improving the experiences of transgender and gender-fluid students at Mills. \nOparah was awarded the Rockefeller Fellowship in Sex\, Race and Globalization in 2002\, and held the prestigious Canada Research Chair in Social Justice and Diversity at the University of Toronto from 2004-6. Educated at Cambridge University and Warwick University\, she has graduate degrees in Sociology and Ethnic Studies. In addition\, Oparah trained in community development. Prior to entering academia\, she coordinated a black women’s center in the UK\, and was executive director of a national development agency for non-profits serving communities of color. \nOparah is author of Other Kinds of Dreams: Black Women’s Organizations and the Politics of Organization\, the only comprehensive history of the black women’s movement on Britain. She is editor of Global Lockdown: Race\, Gender and the Prison-Industrial Complex\, a seminal work that mapped the connections between globalization\, gender and mass incarceration. She is also co-editor of 3 books: Activist Scholarship: Antiracism\, Feminism and Social Change\, Color of Violence: the Incite! Anthology. and Outsiders Within: Writing on Transracial Adoption. \nShe is working with the grassroots community organization Black Women Birthing Justice on a participatory action research project about black women’s experiences of pregnancy and childbirth\, and editing an anthology on black women in the birth justice movement. In her spare time she practices mindfulness meditation and vinyasa yoga\, sings along to gospel music\, hangs out with toddlers and is learning horse-riding. Oparah has Nigerian (Igbo) and British origins\, and immigrated to the US in 1995. She lives in East Oakland with her partner and daughter. \nEach of the six speakers in this series\, “In the Interests of Justice: Bringing Theory into Practice\,” is engaged in producing vital knowledge about the relationships between health. social inequity. race. gender. and power. Featured scholars will share their recent or ongoing work. and comment on the implications for changing and improving practice. in the fields of law. healthcare. or social services. in order to meet the needs of populations facing complex social. health. or disabling challenges. This series is a collaboration between Repair\, a Los-Angeles based health and disability justice organization and the UCLA American Indian Studies Center\, the UCLA Program in Disability Studies. and the UCLA Department of Gender Studies. Funding and support are provided by NetCE. \nOrganized by: UCLA Department of Gender Studies \nCosponsored by: UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, UCLA Program in Disability Studies\, and UCLA American Indian Studies Center
