SUMMARY:Searching for Raphael Lemkin: On the Study of Jewish Universalism
DESCRIPTION:How does the particular produce the universal?

His writings include two award-winning books\, Rooted Cosmopolitans: Jews and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century and The Most Musical Nation: Jews and Culture in the Late Russian Empire\, and two edited volumes\, The Law of Strangers: Jewish Lawyers and International Law in the Twentieth Century and A Jew in the Street: New Views on European Jewish History. He is currently writing a book about antisemitism and the First Amendment in postwar America\, which grew out of his Atlantic magazine article about his coverage of the trial of the White Supremacist organizers of the 2017 attack on Charlottesville.

SUMMARY:2023 Constitution Day Commemoration - What's a Constitution for?
DESCRIPTION:A constitution is a blueprint for government. It establishes the structures and processes of government. A constitution is also the embodiment of a set of principles. It reflects the political values of a nation. But\, really\, what is a constitution for? A constitution is for the people who are governed by it. It should serve their purposes and advance their interests. But constitutions need interpretation\, and judges are the key interpreters of constitutions. How do citizens engage with those judges\, and how do those judges engage with citizens? Whether through formal means (like Ireland’s referendum process for amending its constitution) or informal means (like Justice Sotomayor’s appearances on Sesame Street)\, citizens and judges communicate in numerous ways. \nDr. Wendy Martinek is Professor of Political Science at Binghamton University (SUNY)\, where she specializes in judicial politics and behavior. A proud alum of Lawrence University (BA 1990)\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (MA 1995)\, and Michigan State University (PhD 2000)\, Dr. Martinek is a Wisconsin native. \nFree pocket U.S. Constitutions will be available at the event or swing by before the event to pick one up starting at 2:00 pm.

SUMMARY:The Tragedy of Heterosexuality in Global Context: A Lecture by Jane Ward
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Women’s & Gender Studies Feminist Lecture Series\, Jane Ward\, Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, critiques one of the basic premises of the mainstream LGBT rights movement—that heterosexuality is easier than queerness—by asking for whom\, and under what conditions\, is straightness easier.  \nDrawing from ethnographic field work\, archival research\, and cultural studies methods\, Ward examines the 20th century emergence of a “heterosexual repair industry” — a self-help empire designed to romanticize and ease heterosexual misery while eliding attention to heteropatriarchy and the queer\, feminist interventions poised to undo it. In this talk\, Ward takes her analysis in new directions\, pointing to the global implications of heterosexual misery by analyzing the global “anti-gender” (or “gender critical”) movement and the collective anxiety about gender and sexuality that animates it. Ward conceptualizes “gender critical” projects as expressions of heteroparanoia and psychic dissonance aimed at reconciling the paradoxes of modern heterosexuality\, and offers a feminist assessment of these projects’ trajectories.

SUMMARY:Technologies of Failure: Disembodied Performance in Transwar Japan
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Japanese theater has challenged the conventional definition of performance as a co-present event between performers and audience. Through the use of technologies such as VR and motion capture\, recent performances have disrupted the primacy of co-presence in theater. This talk revisits performances from the mid-Showa Period (1925-1989) in Japan by influential figures in Modern Japanese theater including Senda Koreya\, Murayama Tomoyoshi\, and Terayama Shuji. Nearly a century ago\, these productions foreshadowed contemporary technological advancements and provide a historical context for our current moment’s techno-optimism. They utilized film\, radio\, and other technologies to create performances that wrestled with the mediating function of technology and the centrality of the body in performance. By examining these productions\, this talk proposes a way beyond the dichotomy of liveness and mediation\, leading to a deeper understanding of the relationship between technology and performance in contemporary theater. \nPresented by UWM professor of Japanese Aragorn Quinn.

SUMMARY:Global Studies seminar: Making a Splash: Women Cartoonists in France
DESCRIPTION:In her talk “Making a Splash: Women Cartoonists in France\,” Dr. Cynthia Laborde will focus on the impact of women cartoonists/graphic novelists in France in the 21st century. She will trace how this new generation has been making their own rules and claiming their space in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Her analysis will focus on the socially and politically engaged aspects of their work\, concentrating especially on how they approach issues related to women. She will demonstrate that comics as a medium are able to articulate and disseminate feminist perspectives in new ways\, and that artists (such as Pénélope Bagieu and Emma\, among others) are having a real-life impact\, as the lines become more and more blurred between the individual and the artist via social media. \nCynthia Laborde is an assistant professor of modern languages at the University of Texas at Arlington. She holds a PhD from the University of Iowa (2015) and an MA in language\, literature and translation from UWM (2010). \nThis event is partially funded by the U.S. Department of Education Title VI NRC Grant. \nThis event will be followed later in the day by the opening film of the 26th annual UWM Festival of Films in French\, February 17-26\, 2023. Please join us there as well! \nWhile at UWM\, Dr. Laborde will also present a French immersion workshop\, “Enseigner (avec) les bandes dessinées en français/Teaching (with) graphic novels and comic in French\,” on Saturday\, February 18\, 1:00-4:00 pm. Free but registration is required. See that event on the calendar for more details.
