SUMMARY:CIT.I.ZEN.SHIP: REFLECTIONS ON RIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:October 4\, 2018 – January 18\, 2019\nDepartment of Photography & Imaging Galleries\nNYU Tisch School of the Arts\n721 Broadway Lobby & 8th floor\n\nLorie Novak and Deborah Willis\, Ph.D.\, curators\nRiana Gideon\, assistant curator\n  \nTo accept one’s past — one’s history is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.  –James Baldwin\, The Fire Next Time \n  \nThe Department of Photography & Imaging at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in collaboration with For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative presents cit.i.zen.ship: reflections on rights\, an exhibition featuring photographs\, works on paper\, writings\, and video that reflect on human rights and notions of citizenship. The theme of the exhibition reminds us that our actions today will affect the future\, just as the actions of courageous individuals during the Civil Rights Movement changed the world. Conceptually and characteristically\, each of the artists uses different symbolic references to visually represent definable issues surrounding civil rights\, resistance\, immigration\, race\, class\, gentrification\, gender equality\, LGBTQ+ rights\, prison reform\, freedom of speech\, environmental issues\, and more. They use documentation\, process\, history\, and personal experience to engage the politics of this nation and pave the way for future narratives. \nThis exhibition is part of For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative\, a non-partisan\, nationwide campaign to use art as a means of inspiring civic participation in advance of the 2018 midterm elections. For Freedoms was founded by artists in 2016 as a platform for civic engagement\, discourse\, and direct action in the United States. Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 paintings of the four universal freedoms articulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear—For Freedoms uses art to deepen public discussions of civic issues and core values\, and to clarify that citizenship in American society is dependent on participation\, not ideology. \nThe artwork included in this exhibition shares For Freedoms’ conviction that people shape the cultural systems that shape their lives—from politics to art\, from advertising to civic life. We believe that citizenship is defined by the creative use of one’s voice\, one’s body\, one’s mind\, and\, ultimately\, one’s vote. The 50 State Initiative is the largest creative collaboration in the history of this country\, and we want everyone to get involved. For Freedoms’ 200+ institutional partners are bringing together artists and community leaders across the country through exhibitions\, town hall meetings\, and public billboard projects. These collective activities inject creativity\, critical thinking\, and an uplifted multiplicity of voices into our public conversation. Together\, we can blur the line between artistic and political discourse to create an open and nuanced national dialogue in a partisan climate. \nArtists\nJack Adam • Aaron Adams • Gregory Michael Alders • Bridgette Auger/Itab Azzam • Perry Bard/Richard Sullivan • Laylah Amatullah Barrayn • Alexandra Bell • Cydney Blitzer • Terry E.

Students explore photo-based imagery as personal and cultural expression. Situated within New York University\, the program offers students both the intensive focus of an arts curriculum and a serious and broad grounding in the liberal arts. \n\n\nFor Freedoms is a platform for greater participation in the arts and in civil society\, producing exhibitions\, installations\, public programs\, and billboard campaigns to advocate for inclusive civic participation. Inspired by American artist Norman Rockwell’s paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear— For Freedoms Federation uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century. Founded by Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman\, For Freedoms Federation encourages new forms of critical discourse. The mission is to use art as a vehicle to build greater participation in American Democracy.

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: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: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: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: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).

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.
