SUMMARY:Social Securities Inaugural Lecture: Social Insecurities: Media Policy and the Fight for Digital Liberties
DESCRIPTION:In the US\, media policy is designed to protect a host of cultural values\, particularly those promoting the public interest and freedom of expression. This talk will explore how these values and their attendant “social securities” have been actively sabotaged by the regulators charged with preserving them\, threatening everything from our individual privacy to democracy itself. In such a dire landscape\, the humanities offer much needed direction toward reclaiming a brighter future. A reception will follow. \nJennifer Holt is Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies. She is the author of Empires of Entertainment and co-editor of Distribution Revolution; Connected Viewing; and Media Industries: History\, Theory\, Method. She is a former Director of the Carsey-Wolf Center’s Media Industries Project and a Fellow at the Center for Democracy & Technology in Washington\, D.C.  \nSponsored by the IHC’s Social Securities series\nImage Credit: Joseph Gruber via Flickr\, Protest at the White House for Net Neutrality

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Reforming the Centralised State: Decentralization Paradigms in the Drinking Water Sector in India and the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine decentralized reforms in the drinking water sector in India and the Philippines from a policy perspective focused on institutional design and implementation at the local level. It has been argued that institutional architecture for decentralized reforms is contested and requires better understanding of power and politics in shaping decentralization designs and outcomes. The paradigm of Indian decentralization is endogenous\, and from this one can suggest that greater devolution in the water sector will lead to greater democratization across other sectors. However\, given the biases of international development assistance in the Philippines\, decentralization has taken the form of privatization in a Philippine province. While highlighting the important role that the provision of safe drinking water can play in poverty alleviation\, Singh will suggest that privatized reforms have failed to address wider concerns related to the public goods nature of water. He will argue that decentralization can be synonymous with both democratization and privatization in different paradigms of decentralization in the water sector. \nSatyajit Singh is Professor of Political Science at the University of Delhi. His research interests are governance\, Indian politics\, public policy\, development\, and environmental issues. His publications include The Local in Governance: Politics\, Decentralization and Environment; Taming the Waters: The Political Economy of Large Dams in India; The Dam and the Nation: Displacement and Resettlement in the Narmada Valley (co-editor); and Decentralisation: Institutions and Politics in Rural India (co-editor). \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures RFG and the Department of Global Studies

SUMMARY:Social Securities Talk: Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women
DESCRIPTION:Since 1980\, the population of female prisoners has increased eightfold in this country\, with women of color disproportionately impacted. In her talk\, Ms. Law will examine the structural inequities and injustices behind the rise in the number of incarcerated women and the recurring violation of rights women face inside prison\, including lack of access to reproductive and medical health care and pervasive sexual harassment and abuse. Law will also discuss how incarcerated women are challenging and organizing against prison conditions and suggest ways that people on the outside can support their actions and resistance. \nVictoria Law is a freelance writer and editor. She is the author of Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women\, which won the 2009 PASS (Prevention for a Safer Society) award. She frequently writes and speaks about the intersections between mass incarceration\, gender and resistance. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Social Securities series and the Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: State Highway 31: A Road Trip through the Heart of Modern India
DESCRIPTION:This talk will follow the route of State Highway 31 through western Madhya Pradesh\, central India. The research is part of a larger project looking at the ideas behind the production of infrastructure in South Asia. This journey takes us through landscapes of sex work and opium\, some of the oldest nationalist networks in the country\, and along the fault-lines of long-running tensions between local communities. The road was one of a series built as a public private partnership and\, as such\, speaks of the reconfiguration of state relations with private capital and business. Toll booths become places of company ethos\, for education\, and for the creation of new kinds of citizens. The nexus of government and private enterprise takes us on a dizzying journey through the world’s tax havens and onto the decks of luxury yachts. Exploring the broader political economy of the road and the organization of institutions and travellers that sustains it encourages questions about the nature of governance and power in the country. \nEdward Simpson is Professor of Social Anthropology and Director of the South Asia Institute at SOAS University of London. He is currently interested in the relationship between infrastructure\, automobility\, and the global-sustainability agenda in South Asia. He is the Principal Investigator on a five-year project funded by the European Research Council looking at infrastructure across South Asia. This work is being undertaken in partnership with the Mumbai-based artists CAMP. His publications include The Political Biography of an Earthquake: Aftermath and Amnesia in Gujarat\, India and Muslim Society and the Indian Ocean: The Seafarers of Kachchh. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group\, the Department of Anthropology\, and the Department of History

Refreshments will be served. \nA bawdy satire in the tradition of Greco-Roman Comedy–Saturday Night Live meets Julius Caesar.  The comic premise is that Trumpus Caesar\, having recently been elected emperor by the plebeians\, is impeached by a Chorus of Republican satyrs who then fight over the crown.  In this “farce for our times\,” Caesar doesn’t die but is subpoenaed by a chorus of Satyrs. \nCarlos Morton’s professional playwriting credits include the San Francisco Mime Troupe\, the New York Shakespeare Festival\, the Denver Center Theatre\, La Compañía Nacional de México\, the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre\, and the Arizona Theatre Company. \nHe has written for Columbia Pictures Television and Fox Television and is the author of The Many Deaths of Danny Rosales and Other Plays (1983)\, Johnny Tenorio and Other Plays (1992)\, The Fickle Finger of Lady Death (1996)\, Rancho Hollywood y otras obras del teatro chicano (1999)\, Dreaming on a Sunday in the Alameda (2004)\, and Children of the Sun: Scenes for Latino Youth (2008).

SUMMARY:Symposium: Rediscovering U.S. Newsfilm
DESCRIPTION:In the twentieth century\, U.S. filmmakers generated tens of thousands of hours of newsfilm that was screened in movie theaters or viewed on television sets across the country. This vast output of news coverage\, covering the period from the 1910s to the 1970s\, has not been matched by a scholarly effort to understand it. To address this persistent oversight\, this symposium will\, for the first time in the United States\, bring together many of the nation’s leading newsfilm scholars and archivists to present new and foundational work that is featured in the new book Rediscovering U.S. Newsfilm: Cinema\, Television and the Archive (AFI/Routledge\, 2018)\, edited by Mark Cooper\, Sara Levavy\, Ross Melnick\, and Mark Williams. \nThis symposium\, organized by Ross Melnick and Charles Wolfe\, is free and open to the public and begins on Thursday\, October 25th at 4:30pm and continues until Saturday\, October 27th at 12:30pm. A newsfilm screening event\, organized by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and University of South Carolina’s Moving Image Research Collections\, will be held in conjunction with the symposium at the Pollock Theater at 7pm on Thursday\, October 25th. \nSponsored by the Carsey-Wolf Center\, the College of Letters and Sciences\, the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts\, the Center for Cold War Studies\, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, and the Department of Film and Media Studies. \nPhoto: Courtesy of Library of Congress

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Follow the Family: Kin Targeting in Counterinsurgencies
DESCRIPTION:Why are counterinsurgency campaigns able to overpower some insurgencies and not others? Amit Ahuja’s lecture will compare two counterinsurgency campaigns in India with divergent outcomes: the counterinsurgency in the Punjab was able to subdue the insurgency\, whereas the counterinsurgency in Kashmir has had limited success. Drawing on 105 interviews—54 with security force personnel and 51 with family members of insurgents—Ahuja will highlight the ability of the security forces to target a key vulnerability of an insurgency—insurgent family ties. Family ties bolster an insurgency. They are used to socialize an insurgent and offer a network of trust and emotional support. But as the phenomenon of insurgent family targeting by counterinsurgency campaigns indicates\, family ties are also a vulnerability for an insurgency. Counterinsurgents target families to limit the exposure of civilians to violence\, threaten active insurgents and deter potential insurgents\, gather information on the insurgency\, and encourage insurgents to leave the rebels. Ahuja’s lecture will highlight three findings: (1) when insurgent families are accessible to counterinsurgents\, they are targeted; (2) counterinsurgents rely on three unique yet interwoven insurgent family targeting mechanisms: coercion\, inducements\, and surveillance; (3) when an insurgency is unable to evolve mechanisms to resist family targeting\, it is more likely to be overpowered\, whereas when the insurgency evolves successful mechanisms to counter family targeting\, it is able to prolong its lifespan. \nAmit Ahuja is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His research focuses on the politics of inclusion and exclusion in South Asian multiethnic societies\, specifically within the context of ethnic parties and movements\, military organizations\, intercaste marriages\, and skin color preferences. His publications include Mobilizing the Marginalized: Ethnic Parties without Ethnic Movements (Oxford University Press\, 2019) and a second monograph in progress on Building National Armies in Multiethnic States.
