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: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
