SUMMARY:Experimental Critical Theory (ECT) Seminar: “Visualizing Mestizaje through Zapotec Remappings of the Americas”
DESCRIPTION:Josefina Saldaña-Portillo (Department of Social & Cultural Analysis (SCA)\, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS)\, New York University) \nInaugural Dean of Humanities’ Lecture in Critical Humanistic Inquiry \n\nThursday\, May 2\, 2024\n5 pm – 6 pm \nHershey Hall Salon \nRSVP to attend in person\nRSVP to attend via Zoom \nFollowed by a Reception in Hershey Hall Courtyard \nThis event inaugurates the Dean’s Lecture in Critical Humanistic Inquiry\, a newly launched annual lecture that showcases boundary-pushing research in the Humanities. This lecture will be delivered by leading scholars and creatives whose work explores critical questions about what it means to be human\, and how Humanities provides innovative frameworks for navigating and understanding literature\, culture\, and society. \nTens of thousands of Indigenous peoples have migrated to the United States since 1994\, the vast majority from Mexico and Mesoamerica. As a consequence\, the U.S. Native American population increased by 86% between 2010 and 2020. Zapotec is now second only to Navajo as the most-spoken Indigenous language in the US\, while bilingual immersion in Mixtec and English is part of NYC public school curriculum. This is challenging how we define Indigeneity in the United States\, but it is also challenging how Latinx Studies will define itself as a field in light of these new constituents. How does the mass migration that we are witnessing of Indigenous peoples require a hemispheric rethinking of Indigeneity? And how should it redefine knowledge production in the fields of Latinx Studies and Native American and Indigenous Studies? \nMaría Josefina Saldaña-Portillo is a Professor in the Department of Social & Cultural Analysis Department & the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at NYU. She is one of four Principal Investigators awarded a Mellon Foundation Higher Learning Initiative Grant for the “Beyond a Boundary: Intersectional Feminist/Queer Studies Collective” in 2022. Her latest book\, Indian Given: Racial Geographies across Mexico and the United States\, received the 2019 Casa de Las Americans Literary Prize in Latino Studies; the 2017 ASA John Hope Franklin Book Prize; and the 2017 National Association of Chicana and Chicano Studies Book Award. \nThis lecture is part of the UCLA Program in Experimental Critical Theory (ECT) and the ECT Spring 2024 seminar on “Ternary Positionality: Relationality\, Decoloniality\, and Interpretation”\, taught by Zrinka Stahuljak (Comparative Literature/ELTS). \nThe Spring 2024 ECT Seminar is generously sponsored by the Deans of Humanities and Social Sciences\, the Department of Comparative Literature and the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI).

SUMMARY:Experimental Critical Theory (ECT) Seminar: “Relationality as Ternary Structure: On Challenges and Openings for Relational Critical Thinking”
DESCRIPTION:Kathrin Thiele (Director of the Netherlands Research School of Gender Studies (NOG); Department of Media and Culture Studies\, Utrecht University) \n\nRSVP to attend in person\nRSVP to attend via Zoom \nIn this talk I want to approach relationality as “ternary structure\,” and explicate what kind of conceptual and practical shifts such onto-epistemological proposition enables. The goal is not to philosophically prove – against dualist traditions – that it is the relation(al) which makes and unmakes worlds. Rather\, the question I pursue is what happens when we situate ourselves as always/already with/in relation(al) matters. With the help of contemporary cultural\, queer feminist thinkers (amongst them Wynter\, Berlant\, Ferreira da Silva\, Barad\, Ettinger\, Kirby)\, I aim to introduce meaningful aspects – challenges and openings – for an alternative to binary\, sequential\, and oppositional critical frameworks. \nKathrin Thiele is Associate Professor of Gender Studies and Critical Theory\, Director of the Graduate Gender Programme (GGeP) at Utrecht University\, and Academic Director of the Netherlands Research School of Gender Studies (NOG). Trained trans-disciplinarily in Gender Studies\, Sociology\, Literary Studies and Critical Theory\, her research engages with questions of critical inquiry\, ethics and politics from queer feminist\, decolonial and posthuman(ist) philosophical perspectives. Thiele’s work aims to intervene in discussions around differences\, in/equality\, de/coloniality\, ecologies and post/humanisms\, and her critical attention lies most of all with the troubling consequences of a relational understanding of the world. She deeply engages with the inherent frictions\, the processes of in/exclusion and the always asymmetrical power relations we inhabit. Thiele has published numerous monographs\, edited volumes\, and articles\, including her forthcoming manuscript\, Intra/Sectional Praxis: How to Think-Practice the World Otherwise (2024) and The Ends of Critique: Methods\, Institutions\, Politics (2022)\, eds. Thiele\, K. C.\, Kaiser\, B. M.\, & O’Leary\, T. \nThis lecture is part of the UCLA Program in Experimental Critical Theory (ECT) and the ECT Spring 2024 seminar on “Ternary Positionality: Relationality\, Decoloniality\, and Interpretation”\, taught by Zrinka Stahuljak (Comparative Literature/ELTS). \nThe Spring 2024 ECT Seminar is generously sponsored by the Deans of Humanities and Social Sciences\, the Department of Comparative Literature and the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI).
