SUMMARY:Jean-Paul Sartre\, The French Revolution and the Present-Sophie Wahnich
DESCRIPTION:SOPHIE WAHNICH\, HISTORIENNE\, PARIS\, LE 30 AVRIL 2015.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nL’appréciation politique et intellectuelle de la Révolution française doit moins\, depuis 1945\, aux historiens qu’aux philosophes\, moins à l’évolution de l’historiographie comme telle qu’à la manière dont des penseurs de première importance se sont mêlés de penser la Révolution française. Les querelles philosophiques des années 1960\, sur les fonctions respectives de l’histoire\, de l’anthropologie\, des sciences dites humaines\, et de la philosophie ont installé la Révolution française au cœur des débats. Le plus fameux d’entre eux a opposé Jean-Paul Sartre et Claude Lévi-Strauss\, et\, dans son sillage\, Michel Foucault a promu\, contre Sartre\, une conception scientifique du savoir sur l’homme où la Révolution française n’a plus eu aucun intérêt. Mais personne n’en est resté là. \nQuel est aujourd’hui le legs de ces querelles\, pour les historiens et pour la manière de concevoir l’expérience politique de la Révolution française? \nSophie Wahnich est directrice de recherche au CNRS (IIAC/EHESS/PSL). Elle travaille entre histoire\, anthropologie et études politiques sur la Révolution française. Elle interroge notre présent en écoutant les conseils\, avis et perplexités vécues de nos ancêtres révolutionnaires. Pour faire passage entre ces figures fantomatiques et fortes et nous\, elle fait confiance aux émotions. Elle a plus particulièrement travaillé sur les émotions comme faculté de juger pendant le moment révolutionnaire et sur les enjeux philosophiques de cette perspective historiographique. \nBibliographie: L’impossible citoyen l’étranger dans le discours de la Révolution française\, Paris Albin Michel 1997 (réédition semi-poche 2010); La liberté ou la mort\, essai sur la terreur et le terrorisme\, La fabrique édition 2003 (traduction en anglais chez Verso\, en allemand chez Matthes & Seitz); La longue patience du peuple\, 1792 naissance de la République\, Paris\, Payot 2008; Les émotions la Révolution française et le présent\, Paris CNRS éditions 2009; La Revolution française n’est pas un mythe\, Paris Klinsieck 2017. \nIn French \nCo-sponsored with Department of French Literature\, Thought\, and Culture and Institute of French Studies

SUMMARY:Indocumentales-En el Séptimo día/On The Seventh Day
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University (CLACS)\, Cinema Tropical\, and the World Council of Peoples for the United Nations / What Moves You?\, are proud to announce the official re-launch of INDOCUMENTALES – a film and conversation series committed to exploring the multiplicity of Latin American migrant experiences in our country through compassionate representation and critical dialogue. \nINDOCUMENTALES began in May of 2010 as Indocumentales: the US/Mexico Interdependent Film Series with screenings and panel discussions at New York University’s King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center and other venues throughout the five boroughs including the Americas Society and Cervantes Institute in Midtown Manhattan\, the Dwyer Cultural Center in Harlem\, the Casita Maria Center for the Arts in the Bronx\, the Beacon Center for the Arts in Bushwick\, Brooklyn\, and the Queens Museum in Corona\, New York. It since traveled across the U.S.\, as well as to Mexico and Canada\, engaging diverse communities in reflecting on their relationship to the questions posed in the films. \nFor the fall of 2018 re-launch\, INDOCUMENTALES is returning to its origins in New York City with two films that focus on immigrant experiences in this city. We are proud to present David Riker’s critically-acclaimed film La Ciudad (1998) followed by Jim McKay’s most recent feature En El Séptimo Día (2018). Twenty years between their releases\, the films nevertheless employ similar narrative structures and production models: both are filmed on location in New York\, in Spanish\, with majority non-professional actors. Moreover\, both films\, through contrasting but complimentary styles\, speak to the struggle of newly-arrived Latin American migrants for survival\, respect\, and meaning in unfamiliar territories. \nThe series is free and open to the public. All screenings are followed by panel discussions meant to bring together filmmakers\, scholars\, activists\, policy makers\, and community representatives concerned with the fortification of immigrant rights. \n____________________________________________________________________________ \n\nEN EL SEPTIMO DIA (Jim McKay\, USA\, 2018\, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) \nEn el Séptimo Día is a fiction feature following a group of undocumented immigrants living in Sunset Park\, Brooklyn over the course of seven days. Bicycle delivery guys\, construction workers\, dishwashers\, deli workers\, and cotton candy vendors\, they work long hours six days a week and then savor their day of rest on Sundays on the soccer fields of Sunset Park. José\, a bicycle delivery worker\, is the team’s captain – young\, talented\, hardworking and responsible. When José’s team makes it to the finals\, he and his teammates are thrilled. But his boss throws a wrench into the celebration when he tells José he has to work on Sunday\, the day of the finals. José tries to reason with his boss or replace himself\, but his efforts fail. If he doesn’t work on Sunday\, his job and his future will be on the line. But if he doesn’t stand up for himself and his teammates\, his dignity will be crushed. Shot in the neighborhoods of Sunset Park\, Park Slope\, and Gowanus\, En el Séptimo Día is a humane\, sensitive\, and humorous window into a world rarely seen. The film’s impact is made quietly\, with restraint and respect for the individual experiences\, everyday challenges\, and small triumphs of its characters. \n\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYg3mAJTWSE \n\nAbout the Director: \nJim McKay (Writer/Director/Producer) is a filmmaker and co-founder\, along with Michael Stipe\, of C-Hundred Film Corp. He has produced and directed a feature-length documentary\, Lighthearted Nation; a feature-length concert film\, R.E.M.’s Tourfilm; numerous music videos and an award-winning series of public service announcements called Direct Effect.

His second feature as a director was Our Song (1999)\, which premiered at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival\, played at New Directors/New Films in 2000\, and was distributed theatrically in the U.S. by IFC Films.

SUMMARY:Gallatin Coffeehouse on the #METOO Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join Gallatin faculty\, students\, and alumni for a discussion of #MeToo\, its consequences\, and the complexities of organizing for social change in which sexuality\, gender\, race\, class\, and access to political and economic power matter. Josy Jablons(BA ’17)\, Annie Felix (BA ’19)\, and Gallatin faculty members Sharon Friedman\,Rosanne Kennedy\, Ritty Lukose\, and Sara Murphy will speak; George Shulmanwill moderate. \nThe #MeToo Movement was begun by African American civil rights activist Tarana Burke in 2006\, in the name of women who had survived violence\, with a focus on low-income women of color. The Movement gained momentum when movie producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual assault by women in Hollywood. Since then women from many industries and positions in the workplace\, have come forward to tell their stories of sexual harassment\, intimidation\, and assault. Others have elided traditional boundaries between the private and public spheres and have told their stories of sexual harassment. In response\, powerful and influential men have resigned\, been fired\, withdrawn from public life. Some have suffered no consequences at all. \nAll who attend are asked to respect the privacy and confidentiality of those who share.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Afro-Arab Relations: From the Common Struggle to the "New Scramble"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture with Rawia Tawfik\n  \nAbstract:\nIn the mid-twentieth century\, Arab and African countries waged a common struggle against colonialism and racial segregation. Arabs supported the liberation of African colonies and the isolation of apartheid South Africa. In their turn\, newly independent African countries showed solidarity with Arabs in their conflict against Israel. With international and regional transformations at the end of the century this collective mobilization for united action had faded away.  In the last decade\, Arab regional powers\, especially Gulf monarchies\, are making a strong comeback to the continent. From investing in various economic sectors to brokering peace between rival countries in the Horn of Africa\, Gulf countries are heavily investing in seizing the economic opportunities in the rising continent and bringing stability to their turbulent Eastern neighbors. This lecture traces the continuities and changes in Afro-Arab relations in the last six decades. It maps the actors\, interests and policies that shape the unfolding alliances and rivalries between and within the two regions. It questions whether the renewed interest of Arab regional powers in Africa is an asset for Africa’s peace and development or part and parcel of the ‘new scramble’ for Africa’s political and economic resources.\n  \nRawia Tawfik is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Politics from the University of Oxford and a Master of Science in Politics from Cairo University. Her research interests include issues surrounding African development and regional integration\, Nile hydro-politics\, and the foreign policy of regional powers in Africa.

SUMMARY:Enforced Disappearances in an Age of Emboldened Repression
DESCRIPTION:Governments are disappearing people at an alarming rate\, often in conjunction with policies carried out in the name of repressing terrorism\, organized crime\, or plain political dissent. Reports of undercover extraterritorial abductions of people in foreign countries are on the rise. The widely-reported case of disappeared Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is only one example of many occurring from Mexico to the Philippines and beyond. Join us for a timely discussion on recent developments in international law and accountability with one of the independent experts charged with monitoring human rights violations and reporting to the UN Human Rights Council. \nAbout the Speaker \nBernard Duhaime serves as member and president of the UN Working Group on enforced or involuntary disappearances. He is Professor of International Law at the University of Quebec in Montreal’s Faculty of Law and Political Science and is currently a CHRGJ Visiting Scholar at NYU Law\, as a Fellow of the Pierre Trudeau Foundation (2017-2021).

SUMMARY:Latin America's 1968 - Marta Minuj´ín
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Latin America’s 1968 Colloquium series\, New York University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS)\, Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, The Hemisphiric Institute of Performance and Politics\, and The Institute of Fine Arts (IFA)\, are proud to present a conversation with internationally acclaimed Argentine performance and conceptual artist Marta Minujín and IFA’s Deputy Director Edward Sullivan. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Ticket holders receive priority seating. \nAbout the speakers: \nMarta Minujín is an internationally acclaimed Argentine performance and conceptual artist whose career has helped define the role of participation\, performance\, and media in contemporary visual art. Minujín created her first “ephemeral” works in the 1960s in Paris and New York\, where she and became an innovator of pop art\, happenings\, soft sculpture\, and early video. Her celebrated La Menesunda (1965) created a sequence of 16 multi-sensory “situations” or environments for spectators to traverse; these included a beauty parlor\, a couple in bed\, and a shower of a confetti in an octagonal mirror chamber. Her 1967 Minuphone created an interactive “psychedelic” telephone booth in which voice triggered sensory changes in light\, image\, and sound. In May 1968—at the height of the cultural and political ferment of global 1968—Minujín hosted a series of soirèes/happenings with luminaries of fashion\, art\, finance\, and politics at Manhattan’s Center for Inter-American Relations (now Americas Society); the documentation became the basis of an immersive film installation\, known as Minucode\, which advanced a subtle critique of the role of “cultural” diplomacy needed to carry out the US cold war in Latin America. While in New York she participated in activities at Andy Warhol’s Factory\, and in the 1980s\, created a performance in which she offered Warhol a corn on the cob as a way of paying off Argentina’s foreign debt. She is perhaps best known for the 1983 piece The Parthenon of Books\, a large-scale replica of a Greek parthenon built on Buenos Aires’s main avenue\, comprised of 30\,000 books banned by the military regime during Argentina’s “Dirty War\,” including works by Marx\, Freud\, and Foucault. Spectators were then invited to dismantle work. She has continued to create works that combine ephemeral materials with monumental scale\, including Tower of Babel (2011)\, Agora of Peace (2013)\, and Hopscotch Art (2014). She lives and works in Buenos Aires. \nEdward J. Sullivan is the Helen Gould Sheppard Professor in the History of Art and the Deputy Director of the Institute of Fine Arts New York University. He has developed extensive research and curated several shows on the arts and visual cultures of the Americas from a transnational perspective\, with a particular concentration in Mexico\, Cuba\, Brazil\, Argentina\, Puerto Rico\, and Uruguay. Edward is the author of From San Juan to Paris and Back: Francisco Oller and Caribbean Art in the Era of Impressionism\, published by Yale University Press in 2014\, and The Language of Objects in the Art of the Americas\, published also by Yale in 2007\, among many other books and catalogs. \nSullivan’s latest book is entitled “Making the Americas Modern. Hemispheric Art 1910-1960” published this past March. He is currently curating a major exhibition of the Brazilian garden architect and painter Roberto Burle-Marx that opens in June next year at the New York Botanical Garden. His next book project concerns the relationships between artists and choreographers in the US and Latin America in the mid twentieth century. \nAbout the series: \nLatin America’s 1968; Curated by Jill Lane & Dylon Robbins. \nIn Latin America\, the year 1968 marked a turning point in the social\, political\, and cultural transformations that had been unfolding in the wide wake of the Cuban Revolution of 1959. For Latin America\, as for the rest of the world\, the sixties were shaped by geopolitics of the Cold War\, and of anti-colonial struggles across the globe. Yet they are most remembered by those who lived them as a time when ordinary people felt\, like never before and perhaps never after\, that they could change the course of history: millions of youth in student movements\, advocates for indigenous rights\, workers\, campesinos\, educators\, intellectuals\, and artists\, long with guerillas and other armed insurgents\, were self-aware in world-historical projects of radical social\, political\, economic\, and cultural change. In these years\, the personal became the political\, politics became theatrical\, theatre became a weapon\, and the lines between self\, art\, and politics were forever redrawn. To mark the 50th anniversary of this momentous year\, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) offers a film and lecture series that will explore and celebrate its significance in the region. \nImage: Marta Minujin | by Martin Lucesole | Flickr

SUMMARY:Book Talk: "The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem" Jane Hathaway
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nEunuchs were a common feature of pre- and early modern societies that are now poorly understood. Here\, Jane Hathaway offers an in-depth study of the chief of the African eunuchs who guarded the harem of the Ottoman Empire. A wide range of primary sources are used to analyze the Chief Eunuch’s origins in East Africa and his political\, economic\, and religious role from the inception of his office in the late sixteenth century through the dismantling of the palace harem in the early twentieth century. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHathaway highlights the origins of the institution and how the role of eunuchs developed in East Africa as well as exploring the Chief Eunuchs connections to Egypt and Medina. By tracing the evolution of the office\, we see how the Chief Eunuch’s functions changed in response to transformations in Ottoman society\, from the generalized crisis of the seventeenth century to the westernizing reforms of the nineteenth century.\n\nJane Hathaway (Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of History\, Ohio State University) is a specialist of the Ottoman empire. Her research has focused on the empire’s Arab provinces\, particularly Egypt and Yemen. She has recently been working on the Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Imperial Harem. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton’s’ Near Eastern Studies Department in 1992. She is the author of The Politics of Household in Ottoman Egypt: The Rise of the Qazdaglis (Cambridge\, 1997)\, A Tale of Two Factions: Myth\, Memory\, and Identity in Ottoman Egypt and Yemen(SUNY Press\, 2003)\, Beshir Agha\, Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem (Oneworld\, 2006)\, The Arab Lands under Ottoman Rule\, 1516-1800 (Pearson/Longman\, 2008)\, and The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem: From African Slave to Power-Broker (Cambridge\, 2018). \n\nThis book talk will also feature discussant Leslie Peirce (Emeritus\, NYU)\, whose writing and teaching focus on the Ottoman empire\, with an emphasis on the early modern period. Her first book explored the shifting nature of imperial politics by placing the palace harem at the center of inquiry. Other topics Peirce has written about include honor and sexuality\, provincial politics\, abduction and captivity\, and slavery and household formation. She recently published a biographical account of Hurrem\, the concubine and then wife to Suleyman I the Magnificent. \nCheck out the Facebook event here. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Ottoman & Turkish Studies (OTS) at NYU.

SUMMARY:INSULAR POSSESSIONS: IMPERIAL LEGACIES OF 1898 WITH A SPECIAL SCREENING OF CALL HER GANDA
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the NYU Native Studies Forum\, the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program in the NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis. \nThe year 1898 has conventionally been regarded as the American “imperial moment\,” when the United States acquired and occupied a number of island nations\, both in the Pacific and the Caribbean. One hundred twenty years after the Treaty of Paris\, which ended the Spanish-American War\, as well as the alleged annexation of Hawai‘i\, what have been the legacies and ongoing effects of this “imperial archipelago”? How did the distinct but overlapping colonial practices of Spain and the United States shape social and cultural life? What has been the formal legal and political status of the Philippines\, Guåhan (Guam)\, Cuba\, Puerto Rico\, Samoa\, and Hawai‘i? \nThis half-day symposium ends with a screening of the award-winning documentary Call Her Ganda and Q&A with filmmaker PJ Raval (University of Texas\, Austin). The film follows the fight for justice for Jennifer Laude\, a Filipina trans woman who was murdered by a US serviceman in 2014. The screening is co-sponsored by the NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality.

SUMMARY:Africa Diaspora Forum: Keisha-Khan Perry from Brown University
DESCRIPTION:Keisha-Khan Perry from Brown University will be joining the Center of the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora (CSAAD) to present her research.\n  \nDr. Perry’s talk will focus on the political work of poor black women in struggles for land and housing rights in cities throughout the Americas\, this presentation examines the gendered racial logic of spatial dispossession. I illustrate how these women confront the violence of urban redevelopment that includes mass evictions\, housing demolitions\, and militarized policing. I emphasize that black women are key political protagonists\, mobilizing at the grassroots and exploding the conversation on racial and gender violence from North America to the Southern Cone. Moreover\, they understand black dispossession (loss of land/territorial rights\, access to adequate housing\, gentrification) to be a form of anti-black violence that shapes their gendered experiences and political formation in unique ways. This presentation represents my ongoing call for black feminist scholars to return our analyses to the material issues that are at the heart of women-led grassroots struggles and that informed black feminist thought in the first place. \n  \nKeisha-Khan Y. Perry is currently an Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University where she specializes in race\, gender and politics in the Americas\, urban geography and questions of citizenship\, intellectual history and disciplinary formation\, and the interrelationship between scholarship\, pedagogy and political engagement. Her first book\, Black Women against the Land Grab: The Fight for Racial Justice in Brazil (fall 2013\, Minnesota Press)\, is an ethnographic study of black women’s activism in Brazilian cities. She currently has three book projects under way: 1) Evictions and Convictions: The Gendered Racial Logic of Black Dispossession in New York City; 2) The Historical Paradox of Citizenship: Black Land Ownership and Loss in the Americas; and 3) Anthropology for Liberation: Research\, Writing and Teaching for Social Justice.

SUMMARY:THE THREE PATRIARCHS OF EMBATTLED LOVE: CASTE\, RELIGION AND STATE
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Meena Kandasamy\nIn this talk\, Meena Kandasamy\, Gallatin’s Global Faculty-in-Residence and author of The Gypsy Goddess (Harper\, 2014)\, discusses her site-responsive chronicle of the Dharmapuri atrocity which occurred in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. On one day in October 2012\, in response to the love affair between a caste-Hindu Vanniyar woman and a Dalit man\, the homes of 300 Dalit people were burned. Kandasamy reflects on the event\, explores how one bears witness to violence and the social realities of India’s caste-embattled terrain\, and considers what it means to be a politically engaged writer who seeks to unravel the specifics of caste violence in contemporary Tamil history. \nThis event is co-sponsored by SouthAsiaNYU.

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: SOUNDING ISLAM: VOICE\, MEDIA AND SONIC ATMOSPHERE IN AN INDIAN OCEAN W/ PATRICK EISENLOHR
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk with Patrick Eisenlohr\, University of Göttingen and Faye Ginsberg David B. Kriser Professor\, NYU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSounding Islam provides a provocative account of the sonic dimensions of religion\, combining perspectives from the anthropology of media and sound studies\, as well as drawing on neo-phenomenological approaches to atmospheres. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsing long-term ethnographic research on devotional Islam in Mauritius\, Patrick Eisenlohr explores how the voice\, as a site of divine manifestation\, becomes refracted in media practices that have become integral parts of religious traditions. At the core of Eisenlohr’s concern is the interplay of voice\, media\, affect\, and listeners’ religious experiences. Sounding Islam sheds new light on a key dimension of religion\, the sonic incitement of sensations that are often difficult to translate into language. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick Eisenlohr is Professor of Anthropology\, Chair of Society and Culture in Modern India at the University of Göttingen. He obtained a PhD from the University of Chicago and previously held positions at Washington University in St. Louis\, New York University\, and Utrecht University. He is the author of Little India:  Diaspora\, Time and Ethnolinguistic Belonging in Hindu Mauritius. (University of California Press\, 2006)\, and Sounding Islam: Voice\, Media\, and Sonic Atmospheres in an Indian Ocean World (University of California Press\, 2018). He has conducted research on transnational Hindu and Muslim networks in the Indian Ocean region\, particularly between Mauritius and India\, the relationships between religion\, language\, and media\, the sonic dimensions of religion\, the links between media practices and citizenship\, as well as language and diaspora. \n  \nDiscussant: \nFaye Ginsberg David B. Kriser Professor\, NYU\,  Social anthropology; ethnographic film; ethnography of media; indigenous media; social movements in the United States; Disability. \n  \nWe have discounted copies ($20) of  Sounding Islam: Voice\, Media and Sonic Atmosphere in an Indian Ocean that can be purchased directly from James Ryan\, please email him at James.Ryan@nyu.edu or make sure to purchase it after the event!

SUMMARY:Rising to the Populist Challenge: A New Playbook for Human Rights Actors
DESCRIPTION:César Rodríguez-Garavito\, co-editor of Rising to the Populist Challenge: A New Playbook for Human Rights\, will speak on the new ideas and innovations that are emerging in response to populist regimes’ crackdown on civil society. \nWritten by scholars and advocates in challenging political settings from around the world\, this book offers ideas and inspiration to their peers in the human rights community who are grappling with and resisting the erosion of democracy and rights. \nThis collection takes two steps towards clearing the path for this civil society transformation. First\, it clarifies the specific challenges to human rights raised by contemporary populist regimes and movements. What is the populist playbook against human rights? Second\, it contributes to documenting and learning from a wealth of initiatives by human rights actors. What innovations are human rights actors introducing into their strategies and narratives to counter those of populist regimes? In short\, what is the human rights playbook against populism? \nFrom meticulous documentation of abuses in Turkey to more grassroots forms of social networking in Hungary\, from peace caravans in India to finding new ways of being useful under 21st century dictatorships in Venezuela\, like war correspondents reporting from the trenches\, our authors step forward to share their own continuing struggles to help their communities. \nBased on evidence from populist governments in India\, Venezuela\, Hungary\, Turkey\, Russia\, the United States\, and Ecuador-as well as crackdowns against civil society in South Africa\, Egypt and other countries-this volume provides hope\, solidarity\, and reinvigoration for the human rights movement.

SUMMARY:Skirball Talks: Angela Davis “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:What are the different tools for combating racism today\, after Obama’s presidency and the backlash of the Trump regime? What do the tools of struggle and emancipation look like\, and do aesthetics play a role? Please join us as activist\, scholar and writer Angela Davis discusses in the “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” lecture series.\n\nThrough her activism and scholarship over many decades\, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in movements for social justice around the world. Her work as an educator – both at the university level and in the larger public sphere – has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic\, racial\, and gender justice. Professor Davis’ teaching career has taken her to San Francisco State University\, Mills College\, and UC Berkeley. She also has taught at UCLA\, Vassar\, Syracuse University the Claremont Colleges\, and Stanford University. Most recently she spent fifteen years at the University of California Santa Cruz where she is now Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness – an interdisciplinary PhD program – and of Feminist Studies. Angela Davis is the author of ten books and has lectured throughout the United States as well as in Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, Australia\, and South America. In recent years a persistent theme of her work has been the range of social problems associated with incarceration and the generalized criminalization of those communities that are most affected by poverty and racial discrimination. She draws upon her own experiences in the early seventies as a person who spent eighteen months in jail and on trial\, after being placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List.” She also has conducted extensive research on numerous issues related to race\, gender and imprisonment. Her recent books include Abolition Democracy and Are Prisons Obsolete? about the abolition of the prison industrial complex\, a new edition of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\, and a collection of essays entitled The Meaning of Freedom. Her most recent book of essays\, called Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson\, Palestine\, and the Foundations of a Movement\, was published in February 2016. Angela Davis is a founding member of Critical Resistance\, a national organization dedicated to the dismantling of the prison industrial complex. Internationally\, she is affiliated with Sisters Inside\, an abolitionist organization based in Queensland\, Australia that works in solidarity with women in prison. Like many educators\, Professor Davis is especially concerned with the general tendency to devote more resources and attention to the prison system than to educational institutions. Having helped to popularize the notion of a “prison industrial complex\,” she now urges her audiences to think seriously about the future possibility of a world without prisons and to help forge a 21st century abolitionist movement.

SUMMARY:ALUFA RUFINO\, A MAN OF FAITH AND SORCERY ON THE PERIPHERY OF ISLAM
DESCRIPTION:CLACS and the History Department at NYU will be hosting a presentation by Brazilian historian João José Reis titled “Alufa Rufino\, A Man of Faith and Sorcery on the Periphery of Islam.” \nBrazil\, and particularly Bahia\, was arguably the destination of most African Muslims deported from West Africa to the Americas on board slave ships during the first half of the nineteenth century. They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems. \n  \nAbout the speaker: \n  \nJoão José Reis received his PhD in History from the University of Minnesota and is currently a Professor of History at the Universidade Federal de Bahia (UFBA) in Brazil. He is the author of Slave Rebellion in Brazil: The Muslim Uprising of 1835 in Bahia and Death is a Festival: Funeral Rites and Popular Rebellion in Nineteenth-Century Brazil\, which earned the 1996 Clarence H. Haring Prize from the American Historical Association and the 1992 Jabuti Prize for nonfiction from the Brazilian Book Council. From 1996 to 2004\, he served as editor for the Afro-Ásia journal published by UFBA’s Centro de Estudos Afro-Orientais. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of London and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University\, as well as a Visiting Professor at the University of London\, Princeton University\, University of Michigan and Brandeis University. In 2004\, he was awarded the Comenda da Ordem Nacional do Mérito Científico by the Brazilian Government. While at Harvard during the spring semester\, he taught in the Department of History and presented several public lectures including Divining Slavery and Other Diseases: An African Priest in Nineteenth Century Brazil and Social Mobility among Slaves in Bahia\, Brazil: The Case of Manoel Ricardo. \n
