SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: "On Sarah Dorsey: A Nineteenth-century Southern Woman’s Rediscovered Lecture on the Philosophy of the University of France"
DESCRIPTION:Philosopher Sarah Dorsey \nOn Sarah Dorsey: A Nineteenth-century Southern Woman’s Rediscovered Lecture on the Philosophy of the University of France\nA talk by Carol Bensick\, PhD\nSarah Dorsey (1829-1879) is the earliest woman from the U.S. South to devote herself to philosophy. Besides the later Anna Julia Cooper\, she is only the second Southern woman philosopher to be discovered by feminist historians–the first from the “Deep” South. She is the first American to make a study of contemporary French philosophy\, and also the first American to make a study of Hindu philosophy. Dorsey was the first woman to made a study of the biological debate over the original of species. Hidden till now in periodicals and pamphlets\, her work stands to change the shape of the canon of American women philosophers –possibly even that of American philosophy itself. \nCarol Bensick completed her Ph.D. at Cornell University in American Literary and Intellectual History\, specializing in Puritanism and Transcendentalism. She was an assistant professor at the University of Denver\, the University of Oregon\, and UC Riverside and gained tenure at University of Oregon. She taught summer school at Cornell and UCLA and Extension at UCR. Her revised dissertation was published as La Nouvelle Beatrice: Renaissance and Romance in ‘Rappaccini’s Daughter.” She edited and wrote the headnote for Jonathan Edwards for the first Heath Anthology of American Literature. In her earlier career she presented papers at local\, regional\, and national meetings and published essays and reviews for reference works\, collections\, and journals focusing on philosophical writers and literary writers on philosophical themes. As research affiliate of the CSW she roams the nineteenth-century archives turning up women philosophers wherever she goes. \nAttendees are invited to bring their lunch to this brown bag talk.

SUMMARY:Women as Writers of Heroic Poetry in Renaissance Italy: An Epic Micro-tradition?
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Italian\n“Women as Writers of Heroic Poetry in Renaissance Italy: An Epic Micro-tradition?” explores all facets of heroic poetry as written by Italian Renaissance women. Moreover\, this conference aims to spotlight their heroic poems and place them in an tradition that has for the most part ignored their work. We are also interested in the ways these women authors handle specific conventions of the genre such as the difference between the romance and epic modes\, the engagement with literary predecessors\, and the representation of traditional female characters like the woman-warrior or the enchantress. \nDate: Friday\, April 5\, 2019\nTime: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm\nLocation: Royce Hall 314 and 306 \nSpeakers include: Julia Hairston (UCEAP Rome)\, Julia Kisacky (Baylor University)\, Laura Lazzari (Catholic University of America)\, Serena Pezzini (Scuola normale superiore di Pisa)\, Meredith Ray (University of Delaware) \, Maria Galli Stampino (University of Miami)\, Christine Ristaino (Emory University)\, and Gerry Milligan (CUNY- Stanton Island). \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nCenter for Medieval and Renaissance Studies

SUMMARY:Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments: Saidiya Hartman in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies \nSaidiya Hartman will discuss her book\, Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments\, which explores the ways young black women created forms of intimacy and kinship indifferent to the dictates of respectability\, and outside the bounds of law. They refused to labor like slaves or to accept degrading conditions of work.

Combining historical analysis and literary imagination\, Hartman recovers radical aspirations and resurgent desires. She will read from the book and will also be in conversation with UCLA faculty\, to be followed by an open discussion. \nAbout the Speaker\nSaidiya Hartman – Professor of English and Comparative Literature\, Columbia University. Saidiya Hartman is a professor at Columbia University specializing in African-American literature and history.

SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2019: Feminists Confronting the Carceral State
DESCRIPTION:FRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 22\, 2019\nUCLA LUSKIN CONFERENCE CENTER\n\nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED.\nCONFERENCE OVERVIEW\nDETAILED SCHEDULE\nThinking Gender 2019 will focus on gendered regimes of incarceration\, and feminist\, queer\, abolitionist\, and intersectional interventions.\nThe US justice system is a site of widespread gendered and race-based violence.  The U.S. currently incarcerates nearly a third of all female prisoners in the world\, and between 1977 and 2004\, the number of women in U.S. prisons increased by an unprecedented 757%. As a 2015 CSW co-sponsored report revealed\, women suffering from mental illness in LA County jails are routinely denied treatment\, medication\, and reproductive hygiene products\, and are disproportionately punished with solitary confinement. LGBTQ women are also disproportionately impacted: nearly 40% of incarcerated girls identify as LGBTQ\, while nearly one in six transgender Americans\, and one in two black transgender people\, have been to prison. \nEmerging student scholars and activists will reckon with these issues through feminist and queer perspectives.\n\nKEYNOTE PANEL\n\nABOLITIONIST FEMINIST FUTURES\nFRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 22\, 2019\, 3:45 PM\nUCLA Luskin Conference Center\, Centennial Ballroom A & B\nThinking Gender: Feminists Confronting the Carceral State will feature a keynote panel of distinguished scholar-activists. \nREAD FULL BIOGRAPHIES. \nBETH RICHIE\, Department Head\, Criminology\, Law and Justice and Professor of African American Studies & Criminology\, University of Illinois at Chicago; Author of Arrested Justice: Black Women\, Violence and America’s Prison Nation \n  \nALISA BIERRIA\, Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies\, UC Riverside; Co-founder of Survived & Punished \n  \n  \nCOLBY LENZ\, PhD Candidate\, American Studies and Ethnicity\, USC; Co-founder of Survived & Punished \n  \n  \nROMARILYN RALSTON\, Program Coordinator\, Project Rebound\, CSU-Fullerton; Organizer\, California Coalition for Women Prisoners \n  \n  \nMODERATOR: GRACE HONG\, Chair\, CSW Advisory Committee; Professor\, Gender Studies and Asian American Studies \n  \n  \n  \n\nCONFERENCE SCHEDULE\nThe conference schedule is available online. \nCheck back regularly and join our email list for updates! \n\nPRE-CONFERENCE SEMINAR WITH BETH RICHIE\nCSW is pleased to offer an opportunity to participate in a 1-time\, 2-hour seminar with Keynote Panelist Beth Richie\, author of Arrested Justice: Black Women\, Violence\, and America’s Prison Nation and Professor of African American Studies and Criminology\, University of Illinois at Chicago.

SUMMARY:Alternative Narratives in Israeli Art: Gender\, Identity and Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Image: New Victims by Zoya Cherkassky \nOrganized by the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies\nThe tremendous diversity of Israeli society\, comprised of Jews from around the world\, Palestinian Arabs and Druze (among others) with differing national ties\, religious beliefs and cultural mores\, leads to a complex nexus of overlapping and often conflicting affiliations and identities. \nIn this symposium\, art scholars and artists will examine various works of contemporary Israeli art to understand the multiple identities and varieties of experience – Jewish\, Palestinian\, immigrant\, female\, male\, LGBTQ – which are unique to Israel and also\, in many ways\, universal. The artists will discuss how their artwork reflects personal narratives regarding national\, ethnic and gender identity\, and dynamics of inclusion-exclusion. \nAbout the Speakers\nRaida Adon – Born in Akko in northern Israel to a Jewish father and a Muslim mother\, Adon’s artworks emerge from her complex biography\, addressing conflicted nations and the relationship between two interrelated societies. The image of the woman is a recurring motif in her work\, as a metaphor for the post-1948 geographic space of Israel/Palestine and reflecting the artist’s own quest for rootedness\, while alluding to many refugee crises.

SUMMARY:Lara K. Schubert\, "Workshopping Postsecular Feminist Subjectivity: An Alternative Inspired by Cambodian Women"
DESCRIPTION:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag \nDATE: Friday\, January 18 \nTIME: 12-1:30 PM \nLOCATION: Rolfe 2125 \nParticipants are welcome to bring a snack or lunch. \nCambodian women religious provide insights into rethinking subjectivity.  These women experience empowerment while they subscribe to the restrictive rules of their communities\, including gender-specific stipulations. In Schubert’s research in Cambodia\, her interlocutors demonstrate subjectivity that is not based on freedom and liberation\, which are prioritized in many women’s organizations. Her larger project\, “Retheorizing Women’s Empowerment with Insights from Cambodian Women\,” aims to enhance the concepts of empowerment employed by many women’s organizations and in the realm of development in general.  In this talk\, Schubert will present one alternative to this historically feminist liberationist subjectivity—postsecular feminist subjectivity.  This will include a presentation of various ways of defining postsecular feminism\, considering resources from thinkers who seek inspiration from different traditions—both Judith Butler and Rosi Braidotti.  This is a workshopping session to think with all participants and together to explore possibilities. \nLara K. Schubert received her PhD in Religion in 2016 from Claremont Graduate University and is currently a Research Affiliate at UCLA’s Center for the Study of Women.  She is also a Lecturer in Liberal Studies and Women\, Gender and Sexuality Studies at California State University\, Los Angeles.  She taught courses in Religious Studies at Pomona College and the Ethnic and Women’s Studies department at Cal Poly Pomona. She was awarded a Fulbright Grant for her field work in Cambodia.

SUMMARY:Raquel Medina\, "Gendering Alzheimer's Disease: Mothers\, Daughters\, and Sisters"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Raquel Medina\, Senior Lecturer in Spanish and Director of CinemAGEnder International Research Network\, Aston University\nOrganized by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies\nDate: Wednesday\, January 16\, 2019\nTime: 3:00 – 5:00 PM\nLocation: 2125 Rolfe Hall \nThis presentation will provide a comparative and cross-cultural analysis of cinematic representations of Alzheimer’s disease in several non-mainstream films that employ it as a trope to explore age and gender. Contrary to mainstream productions\, films such as Pandora’s Box (Turkey 2008)\, the Good Herbs (Mexico 2010)\, Old Cats (Chile 2010)\, Poetry (Korea 2010)\, and A Separation (Iran (2011) offer important counter-narratives to the feminization of Alzheimer’s disease as decay. This talk aims to shed light on how these counter-narratives offer feminist/intersectional perspectives on Alzheimer’s disease. Concepts of womanhood\, sisterhood\, mothering\, and matrophobia in these films will be linked in this discussion to crucial issues such as solidarity\, empathy\, assisted suicide\, suicide\, and violence against women. \nCo-Sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women

SUMMARY:Until and Unless\, Film Screening and Discussion with Dr. Soma Roy\, Sintu Bagui and Nitai Giri
DESCRIPTION:This event will entail the screening of Until and Unless\, a short documentary film addressing the queer and trans rights movement in India. \nSet in West Bengal a year before the historic decision to repeal India’s anti-sodomy law Penal Code 377\, “Until and Unless”\, follows the story of four individuals and the impact of systemic oppression via India’s legislative system on their lives. The film features Sintu\, a transwoman community leader raised in the Sheoraphuli red-light district; Nitu\, a transwoman sex worker who lives a dual identity as a man named Nitai; Lovely\, a Koti person who lives a closeted life while working in an office environment\, and Pratap\, a trans teen still navigating her identity. Through juxtaposing their stories with interviews from lawyers and activists working to oppose these laws\, the film shows the lived consequences of state and social violence on community self-representations. \nThe documentary was shot a year ago before the recent landmark Supreme Court decision to repeal of the colonial law\, IPC 377\, thereby decriminalizing homosexuality. The event will also feature a Q&A session with the Bengali sex-worker and trans activist co-creators of the film. \nSpeakers:\nDr. Soma Roy\, Sintu Bagui and Nitai Giri from Anandam\, the organization for transgender sex workers in West Bengal\, India \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Center for India and South Asia

SUMMARY:#masshysteria. Hysteria\, Race\, and Masculinity
DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Sander L. Gilman\, Emory University\nThis guest lecture is part of the UCLA event series #masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies organized by the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies. \nDate: Friday\, November 16\, 2018 \nTime: 2:00 – 3:00 PM \nLocation: UCLA Bunche Hall 10383 \nFree admission. RSVP Here.\nSander L. Gilman has extensively researched and published on the intersection of Hysteria\, Race\, Sexuality and Gender. In this guest lecture Gilman will discuss his influential work and how the term hysteria has been useful until the present day to understand sexist and racist representations of people in protest. The term hysteria is still today very much associate with fin-de-siècle fantasies about ill\, hyperventilating women. Gilman addresses in his lecture\, however\, that the debates about hysteria at the close of the nineteenth century are rooted as much in stereotypes about race and mental illness as they are in the pseudo-scientific claims of its origin in the ‘wandering womb’. What race and hysteria come to mean\, moreover\, changes its valence when European concepts are re-read in the United States. Who is hysteretic and why they have become hysteric comes to be a medical puzzle with a surprising twist in the course of the twentieth century. \nThe talk will be followed by an open conversation with Sander L. Gilman and moderated by Johanna Braun. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nCenter for European and Russian Studies\nDepartment of English\nDepartment of Germanic Languages\nDepartment of Theater\nLesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, and Transgender Studies\nCenter for Performance Studies

SUMMARY:#masshysteria. Trans*: Hystories\, Bodies and the Unbuilding of Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Jack Halberstam\nProfessor of English\, Comparative Literature and Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality at Columbia University.\nThis guest lecture is part of the UCLA event series #masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies organized by the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies. \nDate: Monday\, November 5\, 2018 \nTime: 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm \nLocation: 10383 Bunche Hall \nFREE ADMISSION\nWhile transgender has mostly been discussed in the last decade in terms of making bodies and selves\, Jack Halberstam will discuss the work of unmaking that is performed by the appellation of trans*. With this shift in focus\, the wrong body\, an appellation used mostly for people who have felt themselves to be out of place\, out of time\, comes not to claim right but to dismantle the system that metes out rightness and wrongness. This talk will offer examples of protest performances drawn from the 1970’s to argue for anarchic trans* feminisms oriented towards unbuilding and unmaking worlds\, and will therefore\, re-contextualize the agency of restless\, transitive\, hysterical bodies of the present. \nThe talk will be followed by an open conversation with Jack Halberstam and moderated by Johanna Braun. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nDepartment of English\nDepartment of Germanic Languages\nDepartment of Theater\nCenter for European and Russian Studies\nCenter for Performance Studies\nLGBTQ Studies Program

SUMMARY:#masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies
DESCRIPTION:#masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies\nA conference organized by the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies and the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies \nDate: November 1\, 2018 \nTime: 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM \nLocation: 306 Royce Hall \nRSVP: https://french.ucla.edu/event/masshysteria-hysteria-politics-and-performance-strategies-conference/ \n\nIn Europe\, especially in Vienna and Paris\, around 1900\, the hysterical girl was a well-studied object in arts and sciences; she re-appeared\, a hundred years later\, in countless manifestations in US mainstream horror films. In addition\, key words describing women in protest as “hysterical”\, “nasty”\, “possessed”\, or “monstrous” dominate contemporary public discourse. The female hysteric in these current narratives references strikingly established representations of the hysteric as (public) performer that extend well beyond the European studies of the nineteenth century. For example\, although the medical term hysteria was struck from the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1994\, it simultaneously reappeared as Histrionic Personality Disorder (Latin: histrio\, actor/actress). This rebranding further underlines the point of this investigation: the female hysteric is diagnosed as performer. Given this reintroduction\, and the re-appearance of the hysteric in current discourses\, one may assume that the self-reflective media figure of the female hysteric will continue to gain ground in its cultural impact. The aim of this project is to show the ways in which a historical European phenomenon enjoys an active legacy in the United States one hundred years later and\, in turn\, resonates around the world. \nAlthough the history and evolution of the representation of hysteria have been extensively researched\, the study of how these discourses have been transferred to twenty-first-century US popular culture remains uncharted territory. This conference’s main focus is the way in which the hysteric is involved in and performs on the pressing intersection of hysteria\, cultural\, (horror) film and performance studies. \nFurthermore\, as a result of performance studies being a paradigm-driven field\, this conference (and the subsequent publication) will be divided into two sections: In the beginning\, we will follow the hysteric’s performance as object of inquiry\, which will enable us to put the current phenomenon in its (historical) context. Thereafter\, we will expand the scope and focus on performance studies as a primary analytical concept\, which will enable us to uncover the potentiality of agency in the hysteric’s performance. We welcome scholarship and practice-based research in relation to hysteria and performance from all disciplines and backgrounds. As this event is designed to bring together a diverse group of scholars and artists\, we value traditional paper submissions as well as encourage experimental forms of presentations\, such as (new) media-\, video-\, performance and performance-lecture. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nDepartment of French and Francophone Studies\nCenter for European and Russian Studies\nCenter for Performance Studies\n\n

SUMMARY:New Directions in Black Atlantic Religion
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the African Studies Center and presented by UC Multi-campus Research Group on New Approaches to Black Atlantic Religions and University of California Office of the President Multi-campus Research Programs & Initiative Funding (MRPI)\nDate: Saturday\, October 27\, 2018 \nTime: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \nLocation: 10383 Bunche Hall \nProgram: http://www.international.ucla.edu/asc/event/13430 \nThe conference is free and open to the public; RSVP requested by emailing Sheila Breeding\, African Studies Center\, at sbreeding@international.ucla.edu. \nFree and open to the public!\nThis multidisciplinary group composed of faculty from multiple UC campuses will critically assess the current state of scholarship on Black Atlantic belief systems and theorize new methodologies and analytic orientations for comparative and regional studies.

The film treats violence against women as a tool of social control and examines the ways in which women have been systematically denied the right to self-defense and the skills to exercise that right. The film investigates the process through which gender is lived and embodied and how this embodiment can shift through physical practice. It is also dedicated to altering the social structures through which women and non-binary people are oppressed by advocating for options for women who face violence and harassment. \n

SUMMARY:Sami Schalk\, "Bodyminds Reimagined: Disability\, Race\, and Gender in Black Women's Speculative Fiction"
DESCRIPTION:Bodyminds Reimagined: Disability\, Race\, and Gender in Black Women’s Speculative Fiction\nBook Talk with Dr. Sami Schalk\, Assistant Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\nDate: Wednesday\, October 17\nTime: 2:30 – 4:00 PM\nLocation: UCLA Powell Library\, East Rotunda \nThis event is wheelchair accessible and will have an ASL Interpreter \nIn Bodyminds Reimagined Sami Schalk traces how black women’s speculative fiction complicates the understanding of bodyminds—the intertwinement of the mental and the physical—in the context of race\, gender\, and (dis)ability. Bridging black feminist theory with disability studies\, Schalk demonstrates that this genre’s political potential lies in the authors’ creation of bodyminds that transcend reality’s limitations. She reads (dis)ability in neo-slave narratives by Octavia Butler (Kindred) and Phyllis Alesia Perry (Stigmata) not only as representing the literal injuries suffered under slavery\, but also as a metaphor for the legacy of racial violence. The fantasy worlds in works by N. K. Jemisin\, Shawntelle Madison\, and Nalo Hopkinson—where werewolves have obsessive-compulsive-disorder and blind demons can see magic—destabilize social categories and definitions of the human\, calling into question the very nature of identity. In these texts\, as well as in Butler’s Parable series\, able-mindedness and able-bodiedness are socially constructed and upheld through racial and gendered norms. Outlining (dis)ability’s centrality to speculative fiction\, Schalk shows how these works open new social possibilities while changing conceptualizations of identity and oppression through nonrealist contexts. \nThis event is sponsored by UCLA African-American Studies\, the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, UCLA Disability Studies\, UCLA Department of English\, and UCLA Department of Gender Studies. \n

SUMMARY:Hannah Kosstrin\, "Honest Bodies: Methods for Transnational Dance Analysis"
DESCRIPTION:Honest Bodies: Methods for Transnational Dance Analysis\nBook talk by Hannah Kosstrin\, Ohio State University\nOrganized by the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance\nDate: October 9\, 2018 \nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nLocation: 230 Kaufman Hall \nAnna Sokolow’s choreography circulated American modernist and communist ideologies through predominantly Jewish channels of the international Left between the 1930s and 1960s. In this talk\, Kosstrin highlights how Sokolow’s body as a Jewish\, gendered site determined her relationship to social politics in the dance landscapes of New York\, Mexico City\, and Tel Aviv in which she and her dance companies participated. Kosstrin introduces her framework for transnational dance analysis\, “honest bodies\,” and how it exposes cultural- and dance-based kinesthetic influences that implicated Sokolow and her movement practices in global dance modernism and its choreographic discourses. \nDr. Hannah Kosstrin is Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at The Ohio State University and affiliated with the Melton Center for Jewish Studies and Center for Slavic and East European Studies. She is author of Honest Bodies: Revolutionary Modernism in the Dances of Anna Sokolow (Oxford UP\, 2017). \nCo-sponsors:\n\nYounes and Soraya Nazarian Center for Israel Studies\nAlan D.
