SUMMARY:The Fire-Break: Latinx Fire Mitigation Workers and Settler Land Control in Southern California
DESCRIPTION:CULTURE\, POWER\, SOCIAL CHANGE PRESENTS: \nThe Fire-Break: Latinx Fire Mitigation Workers and Settler Land Control in Southern California \nThursday 6.4.26 | Haines Hall 352 | 12:15 PM | Pizza served at noon \nThis presentation discusses the settler practice of managing fire risk to valorize property in Orange County’s wildland urban interface. \nThe presentation draws on four years of ethnographic research with Latinx fire mitigation workers in the chaparral canyon ecologies of Orange County. It also incorporates over three decades of archival materials from the Orange County Fire Authority and Dr. Zarate’s family’s involvement with the County of Orange fire mitigation program. The presentation contends that workers employ Migrant Ecological Knowledge\, a practice grounded in the geographies of dispossession and displacement\, to create forms of care and life in places where personal risks related to health\, legal\, and social precarity accumulate. These affective and social practices amongst workers denaturalize fire management across Southern California as a structure of risk-production that expands settler claims to land through regimes of racialized labor that seek to have Latinx migrants do the work of protecting property from fire and cultural obsolescence. \nSalvador Zarate is an assistant professor in the department of anthropology at UC Irvine. His work dovetails ethnographic research with historical methods and centers on questions of racialized gender\, labor\, and the ecology. His recent work explores Latinx residential gardening\, drought as a science of land domination\, and wildfire as a cultural practice of racial domination and settler conquest. He has published in Anthropology of Work Review\, Journal of Political Ecology\, Feminist Formations\, Catalyst\, Practicing Anthropology\, Latino Studies\, Aztlan\, and others. His co-written book on the politics of doing transformative community research\, Transforming Science\, will be published in May of this year.

SUMMARY:"Legacy": Free Screening by UCLA Film & Television Archive
DESCRIPTION:When: Sunday\, June 28th at 7:00pm \nWhere: Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum \nJoin UCLA Film & Television Archive for a free screening of “Legacy”! \nDirected by Karen Arthur\, a first-time filmmaker\, and independently produced\, “Legacy” confounds 1970s Hollywood’s expectations with the introduction of a new kind of cinematic woman. Bissie (played by Joan Hotchkis) is a woman unraveling under the pressures of a vapid and materialistic society. She stuns audiences with her honesty that is confrontational\, yet heartfelt\, and her vulnerability.
