SUMMARY:Black Milk: Colonial Foodways and Intimate Imperialism
DESCRIPTION:  \nAll CSW events are Fragrance-Free. Learn more about our event accessibility policy. \n  \nPart of Dishing: Food\, Feminism\, and the Way We Eat. Video now available on YouTube!\n \nA talk by Diana Garvin\, PhD in Italian Studies\, Cornell University \nThis talk will use original Italian and Ethiopian sources to examine breastfeeding in the colonial marketplace as a key plank in the social construction of race and racism in the colonies.  Specifically\, I will examine the Italian Fascist regime’s propagandistic newsreels and unpublished photographs of Ethiopian markets in Addis Ababa\, Harrar\, Quórum\, and Asmara in relation with postcolonial oral histories and architectural studies of these spaces. \nWhile breastfeeding represented a significant arena of political struggle over the care and nourishment of future generations in the colonies\, contemporary historical studies rarely examine this practice as a primary component of imperial foodways. This stance builds on Kyla Wazana Tompkins’ assertion that food confuses physical borders between the self and racial others.  My talk contributes an intersectional approach to the discipline by using breastfeeding in the marketplace to investigate the Fascist regime’s twinned seizure of food and women’s bodies\, a mode of cultural erasure that bell hooks refers to as “eating the other.” \nInterweaving the voices of vendors\, customers\, architects\, and government officials in this image-based study of Ethiopian marketplaces not only helps to untangle the filmic decisions and techniques that directors used to construct race and racism through mass media\, but also offers a more cohesive portrait of women’s daily lives in Italian East Africa under Fascism.  Ultimately\, I contend that the marketplace provided a powerful symbolic arena for forming\, shaping\, and perpetuating the racial thinking that defined Ethiopian and Italian people\, markets\, and foodways in terms of black and white. \nDiana Garvin holds a PhD in Italian Studies from Cornell University. Her dissertation\, “Feeding Fascism: Tabletop Politics in Italy and Italian East Africa\, 1922-1945\,” draws on Gender Studies\, Colonial Studies\, and Material Culture Studies and analyzes food as the physical evidence of power negotiations between individual women and the State in Italy and in former Italian East Africa (modern-day Ethiopia\, Eritrea\, and Somalia). Garvin conducted her research at over 25 museums and archives\, including the Archivio Diaristico Nazionale\, the Biblioteca Gastronomica\, the Archivio Barilla\, and the Archivio Centrale dello Stato. Garvin’s work has been supported by the AAUW American Fellowship (2015)\, the Julia Child Foundation Scholarship (2014) and the AFS Sue Samuelson Award for Foodways Scholarship (2013). Thanks to the support of the CLIR Mellon Fellowship\, she spent the 2015-2016 academic year conducting research in Italy for her second project on colonial foodways and East African women’s domestic work in Italian homesteads. \nGarvin’s research has been published in Critical Inquiry and the edited volumes\, Doing Research To Improve Teaching And Learning\, Representing Italy through Food\, Communicating Italian Food\, and Food and Material Culture: Proceedings of the 2013 Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery. In addition to her publications\, Garvin directed the conference\, “The Language of Food: Exploring Representations of the Culinary in Culture\,” at Cornell in 2012. Prior to her graduate work at Cornell\, Garvin taught at the Johns Hopkins SAIS Associazione Italo-Americana in Bologna\, Italy\, and at the Université François Rabelais in Tours\, France. In 2006\, she received her A.B. in Romance Studies (Italian\, French\, Spanish) from Harvard University. \nHer favorite Italian proverb is “O mangi questa minestra o salti dalla finestra\,” – “Eat this soup or jump out the window.” \n  \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Division of Social Sciences\nUCLA Healthy Campus Initiative\nUCLA Department of History\nUCLA Food Studies Graduate Certificate Program\nUCLA Center for European and Russian Studies\nIris Cantor—UCLA Women’s Health Center\nUCLA Department of Italian

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: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:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: "Polar Environmental Discourses: Film\, Politics\, and Oil in the Anthropocene\," Lisa Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Polar Environmental Discourses:  Film\, Politics\, and Oil in the Anthropocene \nBring your lunch and join CSW Research Affiliates for a brown bag research presentation! \nRSVP ONLINE \nTaken from a book project titled Polar Aesthetics in the Anthropocene: Imagining Climate\, Lisa Bloom brings together issues in critical climate change scholarship to examine aspects of feminist and environmentalist polar art in the work of Brenda Longfellow. Focusing on oil drilling in the Alaskan Arctic\, this paper invites us to think about how conventional narratives about oil production and consumption\, science\, gender\, and race\, as well as attitudes towards nature\, technology\, and the wilderness are being reimagined through interactive documentaries in the early 21st century. \nLisa Bloom is the author of Gender on Ice: American Ideologies of Polar Expeditions (University of Minnesota Press\, 1993)\, the first critical book on the Arctic and Antarctic in the US written from a feminist and postcolonial perspective. Her other books include an edited anthology titled With Other Eyes: Looking at Race and Gender in Visual Culture (University of Minnesota Press\,1999) and Jewish Identities in U.S. Feminist Art: Ghosts of Ethnicity. (Routledge\, London\, 2006). She is currently a Research Affiliate at the Center for the Study of Women at UCLA. Her forthcoming book is titled: Imagining Climate: Art and Visual Culture of the Polar Regions in the Anthropocene.
