SUMMARY:Living Democracy Talk: What We Can Do For Each Other
DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest threats against democracy and justice is indolence–defined as a form of militant indifference based on the lack of empathy for the suffering of others. Cristina Rivera Garza will explore how taking part in and contributing to transnational emotional communities in Mexico and the U.S.\, many based on shared experiences of social suffering and the grieving that comes with it\, may help us leap out of ourselves and into the heart of the bond we share with human and non-human beings alike. Audience Q&A will follow. \nCristina Rivera Garza is Distinguished Professor of Hispanic Studies and Creative Writing and Director of the PhD in Creative Writing in Spanish Program at the University of Houston. She is an award-winning author\, translator\, and critic.

SUMMARY:Talk: Popular Feminist Communication: Tools for Organization in Times of Destruction
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nRevista Amazonas (Amazonas Magazine) is a collective made up of women from Colombia\, Brazil\, Nicaragua\, Ecuador\, Argentina\, Mexico and Spain. It was born out of a commitment to publishing texts and images made by women from anywhere in the world\, covering all literary themes and genres\, but always from a perspective that is trans-feminist\, anti-capitalist\, anti-racist\, anti-colonial and in defense of all forms of life. The magazine emphasizes that focusing on what women have to say – those who live and work on the margins\, those who defend their territories – is not only a matter of justice\, but also the only way to understand how a global system functions\, and how to use that knowledge to think together strategies for emancipation. \nAny woman can submit text\, illustration or photographs to info@revistaamazonas.com for publication in www.revistaamazonas.com \nParticipating Speakers: \nHelena Silvestre (Brazil)\, writer\, Afro-indigenous activist in housing movements (Luta Popular)\, popular educator (Escola Feminista Abya Yala)\, and co-editor of Revista Amazonas. \nAmanda Martínez (Nicaragua/Brazil)\, Nicaraguan woman\, Central American migrant in South America\, feminist\, artivist and researcher who supports anti-racist\, anti-patriarchal and anti-colonial struggles in the Central American isthmus and the rest of the region. Interested in the exchange of knowledge and dissemination of the other histories of America that lie in the oral tradition\, in feelings\, art and everyday life of communities. \nAna María Morales Troya (Ecuador)\, co-editor of Revista Amazonas\, Ecuadorian feminist and anthropologist. She is a researcher and member of CLACSO’s WGs on popular economies and emancipatory feminist economics. \nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series\, which welcomes feminist militants from Latin America to share their perspectives and experiences on building popular power towards a mass feminist movement. Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent. \nCosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB History Department\, UCSB Feminist Studies Department\, UC San Diego Latin American Studies Program\, and UCSD Institute for Arts and Humanities \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Sri Sabhapati Swami and the "Translocalization" of Sivarajayoga
DESCRIPTION:Keith Cantú’s talk will center on the life and yogic literature of the Tamil yogi Sri Sabhapati Swami (Capāpati Cuvāmikaḷ\, 1828–1923/4). The first part of the talk will consist of an overview of Sabhapati’s life and historical context\, including his interactions and falling out with the founders of the Theosophical Society\, his literature and visual diagrams in numerous prestige and Indian vernacular languages\, his Śaiva yogic cosmology and perspectives on Hindu traditions and other religions\, and his network of “admirers” and students across South Asia. Cantú will then shift to a more open-ended discussion about the theoretical framework of global “translocalization\,” including evidence for pan-Indian “mesolocalization\,” and will argue that in Sabhapati’s case this kind of framework is useful when analyzing the ways in which religious ideas travel and change when circulating between local\, mesolocal\, and translocal audiences in the modern period. \nKeith Edward Cantú will receive his doctoral degree in Religious Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, this spring (2021). A specialist in South Asian religions\, he is the co-editor of City of Mirrors: Songs of Lālan Sā̃i\, a volume of nineteenth-century Bengali songs translated by Carol Salomon. He is also the author of several peer-reviewed articles and book chapters\, including “Islamic Esotericism in the Bengali Bāul Songs of Lālan Fakir\,” a translation of the “Eighth Instruction” of a Sanskrit alchemical text called the Rasāyanakhaṇḍa about the alchemical wonders of Śrīśailam\, and “Sri Sabhapati Swami: The Forgotten Yogi of Western Esotericism.” \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Keynote Address: Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Justice in a Pandemic-Prone World
DESCRIPTION:Five hundred years of the colonial remaking of landscapes of most of the world’s continents have ravaged the planet in monumental ways. Empire-building has clearly benefitted people of Europe’s imperial projects while bringing catastrophic change to indigenous populations. The fallout of imperialism and all its attendant technologies has brought humankind to an existential crisis\, with climate change and now pandemics as interlinked threats. This talk will bring together these issues\, highlighting the wisdom contained in Indigenous knowledge systems as a way to imagine a sustainable human future. \nDina Gilio-Whitaker (Colville Confederated Tribes) is a lecturer of American Indian Studies at California State University San Marcos\, and an independent educator in American Indian environmental policy and other issues. At CSUSM she teaches courses on environmentalism and American Indians\, traditional ecological knowledge\, religion and philosophy\, Native women’s activism\, American Indians and sports\, and decolonization. \nShe also works within the field of critical sports studies\, examining the intersections of indigeneity and the sport of surfing. As a public intellectual\, Dina brings her scholarship into focus as an award-winning journalist as well\, contributing to numerous online outlets including Indian Country Today\, Los Angeles Times\, High Country News and many more. \nDina is the author of two books; the most recent award-winning As Long As Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice from Colonization to Standing Rock. She is currently under contract with Beacon Press for a new book under the working title Illegitimate Nation: Privilege\, Race\, and Accountability in the U.S. Settler State. \nThis event is the keynote address to the webinar series\, A Wakeup Call for Climate Justice? Indigenous Knowledges Respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic. \nCo-sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, CAPPS Center\, Department of Global Studies\nOrfalea Center\, and the Departments of Asian American Studies\, Religious Studies\, Chican@ Studies\, Anthropology\, Geography\, and Black Studies

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Plato and the Mythic Tradition in Political Thought
DESCRIPTION:Free to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nJoin us online for a dialogue between Tae-Yeoun Keum (Political Science) and Andrew Norris (Political Science) about Keum’s new book\, Plato and the Mythic Tradition in Political Thought. Audience Q&A will follow. \nPlato’s use of myths—the Myth of Metals\, the Myth of Er—sits uneasily with his canonical reputation as the inventor of rational philosophy. Since the Enlightenment\, interpreters like Hegel have sought to resolve this tension by treating Plato’s myths as mere regrettable embellishments\, irrelevant to his main enterprise. Others\, such as Karl Popper\, have railed against the deceptive power of myth\, concluding that a tradition built on Platonic foundations can be neither rational nor desirable. \nTae-Yeoun Keum challenges the premise underlying both of these positions. She argues that myth is neither irrelevant nor inimical to the ideal of rational progress. She tracks the influence of Plato’s dialogues through the early modern period and on to the twentieth century\, showing how pivotal figures in the history of political thought—More\, Bacon\, Leibniz\, the German Idealists\, Cassirer\, and others—have been inspired by Plato’s mythmaking. She finds that Plato’s followers perennially raised the possibility that there is a vital role for myth in rational political thinking. \nTae-Yeoun Keum is Assistant Professor of Political Science at UCSB and was previously the Christopher Tower Junior Research Fellow at Christ Church\, Oxford. She is a political theorist broadly interested in ancient political thought and its reception\, 20th century German social thought\, and the intersection of political theory and literature. Her work has appeared in the American Political Science Review and History of Political Thought. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Willing Ethnic-Nationalists\, Diffusion\, and Resentment: A Micro-Foundational Account
DESCRIPTION:ATTEND DISCUSSION \nUsing evidence concerning the consolidation of Hindu nationalism in India\, Aseema Sinha presents new ethnographic data about the variety of popular support for the Hindutva project and proposes an interactive theory of social identity. This framework helps us understand how Hindu nationalism becomes embedded in society. She argues that Hindu nationalism in India could be fruitfully analyzed by focusing on the processes through which ideas of exclusive nationalism spread among middle classes and are expressed in micro-level psychological changes at the individual level. The consolidation of Hindu nationalism in India is being authored not only by parties and the state but also by societal actors\, and more specifically ordinary middle-class Indians. Hindu nationalism has been spreading in micro-public spheres in times of apparent peace and between elections and with the participation of willing supporters\, bystanders\, and hardliners. Sinha suggests the need to focus on interlinked micro-level mechanisms such as diffusion and emulation of Hindu-centric beliefs and ideas\, mobilization by hardliners and organizations\, and impunity protected by state agencies. \nAseema Sinha is the Wagener Chair of South Asian Politics and George R. Roberts Fellow in the Government Department at Claremont McKenna College. Her research interests focus on the political economy of India\, India-China comparisons\, and the rise of India as an emerging power.

SUMMARY:Talk: Women in Cooperative Agricultural Production and Consumption: The Case of Rio de Janeiro’s Rede Ecológica
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThe presentation will illuminate the multiple roles played by women within the infrastructure of the Rede Ecologica (Ecological Consumers’ Network) in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil. These include: relations established with the agroecological producers; campaigns and other educational activities focused on the theme of food\, nutritional security\, and family-based agricultural practices; communication and networking with other social movements\, among others. Through an intersectional feminist approach\, we will analyze concrete experiences within territories in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro\, such as the Serra da Misericórdia\, which highlight the ways in which women with different racial\, ethnic\, and class backgrounds\, lead collective efforts to combat the high level of hunger and food insecurity by reinforcing agroecological practices in different public areas and inventing new strategies for distributing products via direct links with consumers who enjoy the benefits of healthy\, organically grown food. Such processes reinforce the links between producers and consumers\, as well as bridging the division between rural and urban areas. They also reveal the ways in which a new logic for economic and social relations is being constructed\, including a new approach to those “care-taking” tasks historically undertaken by rural and urban women that are vital for social reproduction and for fulfilling basic human needs within the capitalist system. \nANA PAULA Da CRUZ SANTOS is an urban farmer and co-founder of the community-based organization Center for Integration “Serra da Misericórdia” (CEM) in Rio’s Penha neighborhood. She belongs to the Ecological Network and is a member of the Food Security Council (RJ). She also participates in the women’s working group of the Agroecology Network of the Metropolitan area of RJ. \nRODICA WEITZMAN holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (IPPUR/ UFRJ) and carried out her post-doctorate research in the field of Social and Environmental Conflict at the Institute in Urban and Regional Planning and Research (IPPUR/ UFRJ). She belongs to the women’s working group in the National Agroecology Network\, the research group Gender and Ruralities (CPDA/UFRRJ)\, the Ecological Network (RJ)\, and the Food Security Council (RJ). Since 1996\, she has worked with diverse social organizations in Brazil and on the international level in the construction\, evaluation\, and monitoring of social projects and public policies\, with a strong focus on gender issues and its intersections with family–based sustainable agriculture\, food security\, social and environmental conflicts\, and climate change. \nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series\, which welcomes feminist militants from Latin America to share their perspectives and experiences on building popular power towards a mass feminist movement. Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent. \nCosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB History Department\, UCSB Feminist Studies Department\, UCSB Latin American and Iberian Studies Program\, UCSB Global Studies Department\, UC San Diego Latin American Studies Program\, and UCSD Institute for Arts and Humanities \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Discussion: Indigenous Responses to Climate Injustice and Pandemics in India and Amazonia
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nThis webinar will feature presentations about the connections between climate justice\, oil & uranium extractivism and responses to COVID-19 based on Indigenous territorial knowledges. \nFirst\, Oswando Nenquimo\, a Waorani leader from the Ecuadorian Amazon\, will tells us about the importance of the Amazon Rainforest and the role of Indigenous organizations that he is part of: Alianza Ceibo and CONCONAWEP. He will emphasize on the challenges that oil extraction has posed for Indigenous peoples in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon and their resistance towards it. Finally\, he tells us about the impacts of COVID-19 and how the Waorani nation has coordinated actions and revived Indigenous knowledges to respond to the pandemic. \nThe collective Sacha Samay\, to which Marisol Rodriguez Perez belongs\, will discuss how plants are beings of power\, they provide strength and energy\, and teach us that health is not an individual but a collective problem which can be healed through medicinal reciprocity. Confronted with the state’s indolence\, women prepare their own medicinal recipes\, they offer them to us and tell us how they refuse to be defeated by the pandemic. Thus\, she will focus on healing as emerging from the link between ancestral peoples and the jungle. \nThis event is the part of the webinar series\, A Wakeup Call for Climate Justice? Indigenous Knowledges Respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic. \nCo-sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, CAPPS Center\, Department of Global Studies\nOrfalea Center\, and the Departments of Asian American Studies\, Religious Studies\, Chican@ Studies\, Anthropology\, Geography\, and Black Studies \nPhoto credit: Luke Weiss | Medicinal Plant Garden in the Ecuadorian Amazon \nREGISTER NOW
