SUMMARY:Talk: Sanctuary and Literature: Words on the Move
DESCRIPTION:In the present refugee crisis\, millions of people are being driven from their homes by war\, religious conflict\, racial ostracism\, famine\, and poverty. Can literature help? Stripped of material possessions\, refugees\, migrants\, and ‘arrivants’ still own their minds\, which are filled with memories\, stories\, and knowledge. Can the cultural baggage of the imagination\, the stories that displaced people carry in their heads\, provide ways of establishing connection with their new circumstances? Can stories\, inspired by the cultures they belong to\, overcome barriers of language and custom\, help them relate to the new place of arrival and develop a place of refuge where they belong? Marina Warner will explore how the role of the imagination\, expressed in literary forms\, can provide threads which may be woven into the fabric of belonging. She will look at travelling texts\, such as the animal tales known in Europe as Aesop’s Fables\, the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh\, and the Arabian Nights\, and explore these literary migrants in relation to the history of legal sanctuary. She will also draw on the experience of www.storiesintransit.org\, a refugee project in Palermo in Sicily\, to illuminate this burning issue of our time\, and the relationship between culture\, equality\, and citizenship. \nMarina Warner writes fiction and cultural history. Her books include From the Beast to the Blonde (1994) and Stranger Magic: Charmed States and The Arabian Nights (2011; winner of the National Book Critics Circle award\, the Sheykh Zayed Prize and the Truman Capote award). She is Professor of English and Creative Writing at Birkbeck College\, Professorial Research Fellow at the School of Oriental and African Studies\, a Fellow of the British Academy\, President of the Modern Humanities Research Association for 2018\, and was elected President of the Royal Society of Literature in 2017. In 2015\, she was awarded the Holberg Prize in the Arts and Humanities\, and in 2017 she was given a World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award\, and a British Academy Medal. \nSponsored by the Graduate Center for Literary Research and the UCSB Carsey-Wolf Center. \nMarina Warner will also moderate a post-screening discussion of The Adventures of Prince Achmed at the Carsey-Wolf Center on Wednesday\, May 2nd at 7:00 PM.

SUMMARY:Crossings + Boundaries Talk: Borderwall as Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Ronald Rael’s talk will reexamine what the 650 miles of physical barrier dividing the US and Mexico is and could be\, suggesting that the wall is an opportunity for economic and social development along the border that encourages its conceptual and physical dismantling. Rael will illuminate the transformative effects of the wall on people\, animals\, and the natural and built landscape through the story of people on both sides of the border who transform and creatively challenge the wall’s existence. He will also discuss his architectural studio’s counterproposals that reimagine\, hyperbolize\, or question the wall and its construction\, cost\, performance\, and meaning. Rael proposes that despite the intended use of the wall\, which is to keep people out and away\, the wall is instead an attractor\, engaging both sides in a common dialogue. \nRonald Rael is the Eva Li Memorial Chair in Architecture and Associate Professor in Architecture\, the College of Environmental Design\, and the Department of Art Practice at the University of California\, Berkeley. He is also a partner in the award-winning architectural firm Rael San Fratello and CEO of Emerging Objects\, a 3D Printing MAKE-tank. He is the author of Borderwall as Architecture: A Manifesto for the U.S.-Mexico Boundary (2017)\, Earth Architecture (2008)\, and Printing Architecture: Innovative Recipes for 3D Printing (2018). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Crossings + Boundaries series and the Sara Miller McCune and George D. McCune Endowment.\nImage by Brittany Hosea-Small.

SUMMARY:Talk: Keeping it Real? Vinyl Records\, Digital Media\, and the Future of Independent Culture
DESCRIPTION:Feedback loops abound between digital media and contemporary vinyl culture. The majority of record sales occur online\, the download code is a familiar feature of new vinyl releases\, and turntables outfitted with USB ports and Bluetooth are outselling traditional models. The manufacture of records cannot be digitized; however\, as with most commercial culture today\, vinyl traffic is driven by algorithms and thrives on social media. Furthermore\, the ascent of streaming over the past five years has boosted record sales\, creating both-and markets for “flow” and “publication” media\, distinguished by Raymond Williams as being accessed or acquired by consumers. Contemporary vinyl culture demonstrates how digital media can play a vital role in any community organized around a shared appreciation for cultural forms and formats\, analog or otherwise. Eschewing nostalgia for records as (merely) a reprieve from digital saturation\, in this talk Palm argues that scholars and supporters of independent culture should decouple the digital from the corporate. \nMichael Palm is Associate Professor of Media and Technology Studies in the Department of Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill and Affiliated Faculty in the Department of American Studies. His book Technologies of Consumer Labor: A History of Self-Service was published by Routledge in 2017. His current book project is a cultural studies account of vinyl records’ revived popularity\, informed by labor ethnography along records’ contemporary supply chain. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center; the Carsey-Wolf Center; the Center for Information Technology and Society; the Film and Media Studies Dept.; the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Music

SUMMARY:Taubman Symposia Talk: Living in English\, Writing in Hebrew: A Conversation with Israeli-American Author Ruby Namdar
DESCRIPTION:Eighteen years ago\, Israeli author Ruby Namdar arrived in New York\, not knowing that he had just taken the first step of an incredible literary\, cultural\, and personal journey. The novel The Ruined House\, winner of the 2014 Sapir Prize\, Israel’s most prestigious literary award\, was an artistic response to Namdar’s wonderful experience of discovering America\, American Jewry\, and American Jewish literature. Translated from the Hebrew by Hillel Halkin\, The Ruined House was recently published in the U.S. by Harper Collins and was recognized by The New York Times as a “masterpiece of modern religious literature.” The renowned critic Adam Kirsch (Tablet Magazine) called it “a new kind of Jewish novel\, which everyone interested in Jewish literature should read.” \nIn this talk Ruby Namdar will discuss his sources of inspiration\, his new-found relationship to the great Jewish-American authors of the previous generation\, and the rewards -as well as the setbacks – of living in one language while writing in another. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSB Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel

SUMMARY:Talk: Nubian Studies: A Case Study in Scholar-Led Open Access Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Nubian studies scholar\, punctum books co-director\, and philologist Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei will discuss how community-focused\, scholar-led open access publishing can help launch fields of inquiry and study that otherwise would not have adequate resources to establish themselves\, because most publishers would consider the discipline too “small\,” and thus too risky to commit publishing resources. \nPart of Vincent’s work focuses on the study of the Old Nubian language\, and the development of a new grammar\, which he discusses in the article “Remarks toward a Revised Grammar of Old Nubian\,” from the open access journal that he is founder and co-editor of\, “Dotawo: A Journal for Nubian Studies. ” The journal has essentially served as an incubator for a new\, collaborative and inclusive approach to Nubian studies as an area of inquiry. Starting such a journal as a traditional subscription endeavor\, with a commercial publisher\, would have been incredibly difficult. \nThrough outreach\, advocacy\, and support\, the Library works to create a more scholar driven and economically sustainable scholarly communication system\, which improves access to scholarship and the reach and impact of UCSB scholarship. \nCo-sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, African Studies Research Focus Group \, Department of Linguistics\, and punctum books

SUMMARY:The Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Series: Truman’s Bomb and the Making of the Atomic Presidency
DESCRIPTION:When we think of the importance of the atomic bomb to the Truman presidency\, we think of Truman’s weighty decision regarding the use of the weapon on Japan. But historians have known for decades that the narrative of “the decision to use the bomb” is largely mythical\, and his actual role was mostly peripheral. But despite this\, Truman did make several decisions during the war that would have vast consequences for the future of nuclear weapons\, decisions that still resonate today. This talk will look at the making of the Atomic Presidency during the Truman administration: the regulations\, norms\, and procedures that invest the power to destroy the world in a single man alone\, which continue to govern our world to this day. \nAlex Wellerstein is an Assistant Professor of Science and Technology Studies (STS) in the College of Arts and Letters at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken\, New Jersey. He received his PhD from the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University in 2010\, and has BA in History from the University of California\, Berkeley. He is completing a manuscript on the history of nuclear secrecy in the United States\, under contract with the University of Chicago Press. He is the author of “Restricted Data: The Nuclear Secrecy Blog\,” the creator of the heavily-used nuclear weapons effects simulator website NUKEMAP\, and is a regular contributor to The New Yorker’s Elements blog\, among other outlets for his more popular writing. \n\nSponsored by the Badash Lecture Fund and the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group.

SUMMARY:Crossings + Boundaries TALKS: Sinan Antoon and Sara Pursley
DESCRIPTION:Talk: The Times of Revolution in Jawad Salim’s Monument to Freedom \nThe Iraqi artist Jawad Salim’s famous Monument to Freedom\, which still stands in Baghdad’s Liberation Square\, is usually read as a linear historical narrative of the Iraqi nationalist movement and the 1958 revolution it produced. Pursley’s talk explores heterogeneous conceptions of time in the work\, including depictions of cyclical forms of temporality that reference Khaldunian historical time\, Shi`i messianic time\, and the time of mourning. She suggests that these forms of time do not work against promises of radical change in the monument\, but\, on the contrary\, give such promises more imaginative purchase than they typically achieve in linear modernization narratives\, with their tendency to open onto a singular and static future. \nSara Pursley is Assistant Professor in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University. \nTalk: Pre-occupation\, Epistemic Violence\, and Collateral Damage in Iraq \nThe invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003 added new layers to an already complex and crowded history of violence with multiple villains and multitudes of victims. Much of the discourse on Iraqi violence tended\, by and large\, to reduce and essentialize it by attributing it either to the supposed resilience of trans-historical\, ethno-sectarian conflicts and identities\, which are taken to be side-effects of an inherently violent and monolithic Islam\, or to the Iraq-as-a-failed-state model\, cobbled together by British colonialism in 1917. Antoon’s talk will reflect on these themes and take stock of the aftermath of war fifteen years later\, in which Iraqis are still paying the heavy price and confronting the destructive effects of an imperial blunder. \nSinan Antoon is an award-winning author and Associate Professor at the Gallatin School at New York University. \nFollowed by a reception. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Crossings + Boundaries Series and by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment.

SUMMARY:Talk: Winds\, Dreams\, Theater: A Genealogy of Emotion-Realms through the Lens of The Peony Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:In his talk\, Lam will give a revisionist history of emotions in Chinese literature and culture centered on the idea of emotion as space – which the Chinese call “emotion-realm” (qingjing) – rather than a state of mind. If The Peony Pavilion (Mudan ting\, 1598) is the romantic play par excellence in early modern China\, it is not because\, as many assume\, it celebrates emotion as the innermost essence of a liberated individual. Rather\, it is because the play eloquently encapsulates the three major historical regimes of the spatiality of emotion: winds\, dreamscapes\, and theatricality. The Peony Pavilion has deployed these various regimes in an anachronistic juxtaposition\, obliterating their timeline and structural differences. Lam will give an archaeological reading of the play that renders visible the subtle transformation of Chinese theater and subject formation—of which the transfiguration of the dream and the rise of the media environment are telling symptoms—as an aspect of the genealogy of emotion-realms. \nLing Hon Lam is an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California\, Berkeley. His research and teaching interests cover premodern drama and fiction\, women’s writing\, sex and gender\, history of sentiments\, nineteenth- and twentieth-century media culture\, and critical theories. His book\, The Spatiality of Emotion in Early Modern China: From Dreamscapes to Theatricality\, is forthcoming from Columbia University Press in Spring 2018. \nSponsored by the UC Humanities Network and co-presented by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies.

SUMMARY:Talk: Lawyers and Legal Consciousness in Early Modern Europe: A Cultural History
DESCRIPTION:Michael P. Breen is the author of Law\, City\, and King: Legal Culture\, Municipal Politics and State Formation in Early Modern Dijon (2007) and numerous articles on lawyers and legal culture in early modern France. In this talk\, he will address the following question: “Historians have long believed that lawyers played a central role in the dissemination of legal knowledge and the ideal of the ‘rule of law’ in early modern Europe. Recent scholarship\, however\, has called this view into question\, emphasizing instead the ways ordinary men and women appropriated the law and its institutions for their own ends. This talk will reconsider the ways legal professionals helped mediate the development of early modern legal consciousness by examining their activities beyond the courtroom and the identities they fashioned for themselves not as legal experts\, but as intellectuals\, literary figures\, and political actors. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the Department of History\, the Department of French and Italian\, and the Early Modern Center

SUMMARY:Reception: The Chess Club: 2018 MFA Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Reception for the Department of Art MFA Thesis Exhibition\, curated by Bruce Ferguson\, President of Otis College of Art & Design. \n“Duchamp\, following Wittgenstein\, understood that the world as we know it is a language game. He used chess as a metaphor for “pure” art – a set of endlessly iterated and re-iterated “moves” which together constitute a language of sorts. Not language as a set of fixed or final rules or as a vehicle for predetermined meanings but as a succession of related speech acts.” \nExhibiting graduate students: Toni Scott\, Jimmy Miracle\, Carlos Ochoa\, Lucy Holtsnider\, Robert Huerta\, Jennifer Lugris and Daria Izad. \nSponsored by the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts\, Graduate Division\, IHC\, and the Dept. of History of Art & Architecture

SUMMARY:RFG Talk: The Double Consciousness of Henry Box Brown in Four Acts
DESCRIPTION:If Henry Box Brown is known to contemporary audiences\, then it is as the slave who achieved freedom by mailing himself in a box from Virginia to Philadelphia in 1849. While critics have explored this incredible event\, less attention has been focused on Brown’s subsequent life as the performer of a moving diorama in England\, a mesmerist\, and a prestidigitator. Taking up his fascinating boxing experience\, but also shedding more light on his later “acts\,” as I call them\, I argue that Brown used his performances of the black body to construct a new idea of “double consciousness\,” Du Bois’s classic term for the psychological splitting of African-American subjectivity. By exploring the way that Brown used his performative acts to construct a conscious body—minding the body\, as it were—I argue that he offered a new “onto-possibility\,” as Jane Bennett calls it\, one that traded the ontological clarity of mind-over-body for the more capacious\, if murkier\, understanding of a mind-in-body ontology. Double consciousness thus becomes not a matter of psychological splitting\, I argue\, but rather the discovery of consciousness not in the mind alone\, but also in the often-objectified body of the chattel slave. In this way\, Brown’s performative ventures—as someone emerging theatrically from a box\, as a curator of his panorama\, as a black magician—makes double consciousness a wedge for telling an alternative history of black identity formation in the nineteenth century. \nMatthew Rebhorn is Roop Distinguished Professor of English at James Madison University. He is the author of Pioneer Performances: Staging the Frontier (Oxford University Press\, 2012) and has recently completed Minding the Body: The Animate Body in Antebellum American Literature (Oxford University Press\, under contract). \nSponsored by Literature and the Mind (UCSB\, English); American Cultures and Global Contexts Center (UCSB\, English); the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center’s Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Group

ALLEN\nSounding Sustainable; or\, The Challenge of Sustainability\nThis critique of sustainability is intended to improve cultural sustainability advocacy in ecomusicology\, sound studies\, and music. The idea of sustainability is expanded in four ways: first\, by acknowledging the challenge of sustainability\, getting past basic meanings of “endure\,” and using sustainability more robustly in its meanings of “change”; second\, by arguing for the foundational role of nature / environmental studies; third\, by understanding sustainability as a lens rather than a goal\, noun\, or verb; and fourth\, by arguing for aesthetics as an important addition to three-part sustainability theories. Through the lens of a change-oriented\, environment-based sustainability\, music and sound studies scholars can demonstrate how listeners and musicians value sounds and therefore cultural actions that exist in ethically charged contexts. \nDANIEL CAVICCHI\nFandom’s Remix: Popular Music\, Participation\, and Sustainability\nEnvironmentalists rarely talk about popular culture\, associating it more with the excesses of “throwaway living” than with sustainability’s custodial sensibilities. There is some truth to this skepticism. However\, that doesn’t mean that the popular can never be associated with sustainable living. This chapter explores the complexities of fan culture\, which resituates capitalist consumption to sustain other kinds of meaningful connection and attachment. Through collecting and tourism\, fans extend musical encounter; with concert-going and narrative\, fans create communal sensibility. Combined with participatory media practices that provide alternatives to the established music business\, fandom reframes popular culture’s potential in sustainability debates. \nMARK F. DEWITT\nSinging for la mêche perdue: Reconciling Economic\, Environmental\, and Cultural Imperatives in Louisiana\nThis chapter examines protest songs written in response to two environmental crises\, the 2010 British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the long-term coastal erosion of Louisiana’s wetlands. It concludes that these songs have been ineffective in changing attitudes and behaviors deleterious to the environment and proposes some reasons why this might be so\, including self-censorship\, the substantial financial and social capital of the oil industry in the region\, and (like other case studies in this volume) a disconnect between cultural sustainability and environmental sustainability. Songwriters employ various perspectives including empathy for wildlife\, environmental justice for workers and residents whose lives and health have been affected\, and one in protest on behalf of the oil industry. \nBARRY DORNFELD\nMusic\, Media\, and Mediation\nThis chapter considers ethnomusicology’s relationship to media as a fundamental tool for cultural representation. It draws a circuitous line from Robert Flaherty’s encounter with the Inuit people through Titon’s work on American cultural communities to indigenous media makers’ mediated performances\, exploring how ethnomusicologists and ethnographic filmmakers embrace media’s power to document\, analyze\, distribute\, and sustain musical experience across culture and through time. These mediators work between the worlds of academic scholarship and the public sphere\, and navigate the duality of face-to-face experience in real time against the capturing of musical culture in enduring and accessible ethnographic media in an increasingly mediated world. \nNANCY GUY\nGarbage Truck Music and Sustainability in Contemporary Taiwan: From Cockroaches to Beethoven and Beyond\nGarbage in Taiwan is at the center of a musical assemblage that resonates beyond the waste collection soundscape. Taiwanese garbage trucks are musical: Badarzewska’s Maiden’s Prayer or Beethoven’s Für Elise announce the brigade’s arrival at designated times and pick up locations. Neighbors stream into the street for a turn at depositing their presorted waste into the proper receptacles. Taiwan’s semi-tropical climate combined with a densely situated human population\, and the presence of well established rat and cockroach populations\, combine to make garbage management a matter of daily urgency. This chapter takes Taiwan’s pop music\, primarily Mandopop\, from the early 1980s through the mid 2010s as evidence of ways in which everyday practices aimed at dealing sustainably with household waste have seeped into a wide range of sensibilities. \nMARY HUFFORD\nDialogues All the Way Down: Conversational Genres as Matrices of Cultural and Ecological Renewal\nAldo Leopold’s notion of the land ethic remains one of the clearest articulations of culture as the driver of ecological sustainability. Noting that ecological field sciences have long relied on communication with members of host communities\, this chapter argues that what is needed is reflexive participation in the forms of communication that constitute and renew places. Using examples of speech genres drawn from story-dominated conversations among participants in a community-based science monitoring project\, this chapter shows that conversational genres are interactional routines that function in multiple ways. Lending ourselves to such interactional routines\, we consent to our initiation into worlds in common for which we may now co-exist\, often well beyond the duration of conversations that are anything but beside the point. \nSUSAN HURLEY-GLOWA\nAlaska Native Ways of Knowing and the Sustenance of Musical Communities in an Ailing Petrostate\nAlaskans are experiencing rapid economic\, cultural\, and ecological change as a result of declining oil revenue and anthropogenic climate change. This chapter compares the relative resilience of the Fairbanks Festival of Native Arts\, an annual indigenous arts celebration\, and the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra\, a Western art music ensemble housed at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Festival of Native Arts has thrived since the 1970s by sustaining Alaska Native traditions while embracing new performance ideas\, a resilience strategy with deep cultural roots based in indigenous knowledge. In contrast\, the Western art music ensemble’s high level of specialization\, cost\, declining audience\, and colonial legacy call its future into question\, particularly when viewed from the perspective of cultural equity and the distribution of limited resources. \nMICHELLE KISLIUK\nSinging in a State of Emergency: Storytelling and Listening as Medium and Message\nThis essay seeks new ways to dismantle barriers between areas of study\, practice\, and politics\, seeking the language and the spaces of imagination within which we can take action. Looking at polyphonic\, poly-social musical practices developed by BaAka from Central African Republic\, this essay asks how these practices matter to our collective future. What key role might nonfiction poetic narrative storytelling play in spreading knowledge of ecologically sustainable cultural practices? BaAka people have developed sustainable practices\, knowing how to sing\, dance\, and live with the forest and with each other. This essay asks how what they know might be shared through stories about learning and about living\, challenging the ever-expanding borders between previously separated realms of personal and intersocial life\, the creative\, and the scholarly. \nMARGARITA MAZO\nLament in the Heart. Literally\nThis chapter considers the funeral lament as an integral part of larger adaptive process regulating emotions. Sustainability of the lament is understood here in the spirit of Jeff Titon’s pioneering approach to sustainability of music cultures. For centuries\, the lament retained its capacity to change not only in response to extremely emotional situations and life transformations\, but also as a direct channel of their productive management. Ethnographic studies of the lament demonstrate its role both in expressing emotions of grief and in mobilizing social support. By juxtaposing earlier ethnographic studies with new empirical research on the affective heart responses to lament\, this chapter offers insight into the lament’s role in preventing the physical and cognitive breakdown of the grief-stricken body and thus in sustaining human life. \nJENNIFER C. POST\nClimate Change\, Mobile Pastoralism\, and Cultural Heritage in Western Mongolia\nThis chapter addresses the impact of climate change on the cultural production of Kazakh mobile pastoral herders in the Altai Mountains of western Mongolia. It highlights the body of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) that herders express in their music\, instruments\, textiles\, and heritage actions such as work patterns and social gatherings. Extreme weather events\, loss of water sources\, and desertification have deeply impacted herders and this is expressed in their cultural forms. The study engages with rangeland and climate science and draws on the author’s fieldwork with Kazakh herders in Mongolia. \nROSHAN SAMTANI\nThe Fiesta de la Buleria of Jerez de La Frontera: Music\, Identity\, and the Construction of Heritage\nThe construction of cultural heritage\, together with its maintenance\, sustainability\, and adaptation\, is an area of perennial interest to social scientists. This chapter documents and describes the Fiesta de La Buleria\, an annual event celebrated in the city of Jerez de La Frontera\, Spain. The fiesta\, an invented tradition that commenced in 1967\, is dedicated to the buleria\, a highly-cherished song-form in the flamenco repertoire. Drawing on perspectives from semiotics\, the chapter addresses the question of how musical sounds signify\, essential to an understanding of the construction of meaning\, and thus to a deeper comprehension of music and identity. In the course of the discussion\, this chapter employs the fiesta as a framework to illustrate how the environment\, expressive culture\, identity\, and economics felicitously come together through adaptive management\, thereby fostering the sustainability of an eco-system of culture. \nJEFFREY A. SUMMIT\nDigital Technology\, Chanting Torah\, and the Sustainability of Tradition\nThis chapter examines strategies where individual Jews employ digital technology to sustain and transmit musical traditions of Torah and haftarah trope\, a core element of contemporary Jewish worship. While these examples focus more on personal agency than institutional sustainability\, they underscore new approaches to integrating meaningful ritual into the lives of these liberal Jews. Even as certain contemporary Jews have moved away from traditional structures of learning and authority—synagogues\, religious schools\, rabbis\, and cantors—they have developed and supported innovative means to transmit the music performance of biblical chant used in bar/bat mitzvah celebrations in a way that sustains traditional rituals while empowering their personal style of Jewish expression and identity. \nJEFF TODD TITON\nToward a Sound Ecology\nThe problem of sustainability won’t be solved by science and engineering alone\, nor by ethics or economics. Problem and solution both rest on how the environment\, including its living beings\, is experienced and known. Sound-worlds offer an opportunity to experience the presence of an intersubjective connection among beings\, one that differs from our usual experiences with objects and texts. Sound connections\, visceral as well as metaphorical\, reveal a sound ontology and epistemology that can lead to social and eco-justice\, sound economies\, sustainable communities\, and a sound ecology\, based in the interdependence of all beings. \nJOSHUA TUCKER\nSustaining Indigenous Sounds: Music Broadcasting and Cultural Vitalization in Highland Peru\nWhat now might now be dubbed “cultural sustainability” has long been part and parcel of university life throughout Latin America where such institutions have been pivotal in preserving and shaping peripheral or threatened musical traditions. This chapter describes the work of a Peruvian organization called the Centro de Capacitación Campesino (Center for Peasant Training)\, which was instrumental in the musical life of rural-indigenous communities around the Andean city of Ayacucho in two distinct moments: first in the 1980s when the CCC was founded at Ayacucho’s national university amid the Shining Path’s war against the Peruvian state; the second moment came after 2000 when community-based Radio Quispillaccta made old CCC recordings the centerpiece of its broadcasts and a symbol of indigenous ecological rationality.

SUMMARY:HUMANITIES DECANTED: Lal Zimman\, Transgender Language Reform: Some Challenges and Strategies for Promoting Trans-Affirming\, Gender-Inclusive Language
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation and discussion with Lal Zimman (Linguistics) about his new work\, “Transgender Language Reform.” Refreshments will be served. \nWith a growing societal interest in the experiences of transgender people has come a new kind of awareness about gendered language. Zimman’s recent article\, “Transgender language reform: some challenges and strategies for promoting trans-affirming\, gender-inclusive language\,” takes a linguistic approach to trans-inclusive language by distilling the practices of transgender speakers of English into a series of challenges and potential solutions. A short presentation of his work will be followed by an audience discussion of practical strategies for trans-affirming and gender-inclusive language in the university context. \nLal Zimman is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Barbara. His research takes a broad perspective on trans language\, from voices to narratives to terminological choices. His edited volume\, Queer Excursions: Retheorizing Binaries in Language\, Gender\, and Sexuality\, won the Association for Queer Anthropology’s Ruth Benedict Prize in 2014. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment. \n
