SUMMARY:LECTURE: ROBERT VITALIS: ENDING OILCRAFT'S SPELL OVER US
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nIn his forthcoming book Robert Vitalis takes apart an ideological construction that he calls “Oilcraft\,” a set of deeply-held\, pervasive beliefs about the world\, together with the actions these vivid truths license—op eds and classified memoranda\, documentaries\, classroom lectures\, naval patrols and calls at port\, journal articles\, podcasts\, press conferences\, and protests\, to name a few. Oilcraft is the close kin not of statecraft or the art of diplomacy\, but witchcraft\, a kind of magical thinking on the part of many\, diplomats included\, about a commodity bought and sold on the New York Mercantile Exchange and elsewhere. The same as copper\, coal\, rubber\, palm oil\, tin\, and so on\, all of which were once imagined as vital too. Oilcraft is about the reasoning that makes notions of oil-as-power unquestionably true\, taken for granted\, and Vitalis’ own claim suspect\, jarring\, or risable. If you are unhappy with the witchcraft analogy\, then think instead in terms of “doctrinal verities\,” to borrow a phrase from the linguist Noam Chomsky\, who insists that it is the United States need to “control” Iraqi oil resources drove the war in 2003. \nIn his keynote for the Conference on Energy and the Left\, Vitalis proposes to recover the 1920s progressive era left’s critiques of today’s commonsense beliefs about scarcity and conflict. The roots of oilcraft are found in nineteenth century social Darwinism\, neo-mercantilism\, and geographical determinism\, which\, together with scientific racism\, are all impossible to disentangle from the imperialism of that era. The beliefs have a long half-life. Oilcraft’s debunkers today\, who are likely unaware of the earlier refutations of the imagined laws of resource imperialism\, are found primarily on the right\, not the left\, and promoted by the CATO Institute rather than the Open Society Foundation\, Institute for Policy Studies and the Nation Institute. Today’s Anglo-American left appears wholly under its spell. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobert Vitalis has taught political science at the University of Pennsylvania since 1999. The London Guardian named his America’s Kingdom: Mythmaking on the Saudi Oil Frontier\, a book of the year in 2006. His last book\, White World Order\, Black Power Politics (Cornell University Press\, 2015) moved away from the Middle East to explore the unwritten history of racism and imperialism in American disciplinary international relations and the recovery of its critical “Howard School” tradition. He new book\, Oilcraft: Folkways of Imperialism and Antiimperialism in the Twenty First Century\, is forthcoming from Stanford University Press. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nSponsored by the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies \nCo-sponsored by: \nGraduate School of Arts and Sciences \nMiddle East and Islamic Studies (MEIS) \nHistory Graduate Students Association

SUMMARY:Global Africa\, Migration\, Literature and the Arts
DESCRIPTION:The Symposium Global Africa\, Migration\, Literature\, and the Arts is intended to explore how Africans and people of African descent globally have been and continue to be at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange\, traversing geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries over the centuries. It will highlight the lived experiences of migration of\, and its impact on\, the people of Africa and its Diaspora through the prism of the arts – literature visual cultures and performances including film\, comics\, graphic arts\, painting\, photography\, music\, and dance. Departing from a critical examination of the discourses of migration\, location\, home and identity in the context of social and cultural transit\, the symposium will position Africans and the African Diaspora as participants and players in the movement of both tangible and intangible matter – multi-generic ideas\, texts\, stories\, memories\, artifacts and performances— as they move through time and space in the World. In the final analysis\, the symposium will highlight the multidimensional nature of the interchange between Africa and other regions of the world as experienced in the realm of the arts\, demonstrating once again the global/international reach and scope of the arts and art movements from Africa and the African Diaspora. \nSchool of Arts and Sciences\, School of Business\, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences\, Center for African Studies\, French department\, Italian department\, and the Zimmerli Art Museum \nConveners: Ousseina Alidou (AMESALL) and Renée Larrier (Dept. of French) \nEmail: globalafrica@sas.rutgers.edu

SUMMARY:CONFERENCE: BEYOND TURMOIL AND CONFLICT: IRAQ SINCE 2003
DESCRIPTION:Marking the sixteenth-anniversary of the the 2003 invasion of Iraq\, this event will reflect on the environmental\, political\, cultural\, and social consequences of the 2003 war\, as well as visions for Iraq’s future\, and will center discussions around the implications\, possibilities\, and new directions in the study of modern Iraq. Through the panels and keynote address\, this event will highlight the legacies of consecutive years of war\, violence\, and trauma. However\, this event intends to move past fatalistic narratives of trauma and violence by highlighting how Iraqis continue to narrate their own histories and represent their identities through artistic\, literary\, and cultural production\, protest against violence\, and continue to shape their own future. \nMoreover\, as Iraq continues to receive scholarly interest by historians\, political scientists\, artists\, and anthropologists alike\, and while recent controversies surrounding archives highlight the various ethical questions surrounding research on Iraq\, this event invites scholars and students to reflect on both the hardships and the possibilities in conducting research on/in Iraq. In particular\, and especially in the graduate workshop\, we would like to ask questions about what is at stake with projects on Iraq; what constitutes an archive and what are the ethical implications of using particular archives; what types of histories do Iraqis want told; and finally\, how do we address the recurrent problems and cliches within studies on Iraq. \n  \nSponsor Hagop Kevorkian Center Near Eastern Studies NYU \nCo-Sponsors: \nDepartment of Middle East and Islamic Studies\, Department of History NYU\, Department of Anthropology NYU
