SUMMARY:LAIS Welcome Back Lunch / Tertulia
DESCRIPTION:Khipu\, and Andean Instrument of Management\, Memory and Power with Dr. Lydia Fossa\nIn our first tertulia of the year\, Peruvian researcher Lydia Fossa will discuss her most recent findings on khipus\, the famed bunches of colored cords dotted with knots used by the Inkas\, revealing them as instruments of\nmanagement\, memory and power. Was the khipu limited to representing a particular language or were its symbols comprehensible to all inhabitants of the Inka empire? If so\, asks Dr. Fossa\, can we say\nthat literacy did not exist in Ancient Peru?

SUMMARY:"Transcorporeality in Black Atlantic Religions”\, a talk with Roberto Strongman
DESCRIPTION:Roberto Strongman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Black Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. \nThis presentation establishes Transcorporeality as the distinct Afro-Diasporic cultural representation of the human psyche as multiple\, removable and external to a body that functions as its receptacle. This unique view of the body\, preserved in its most evident form in African religious traditions on both sides of the Atlantic\, allows the regendering of the bodies of initiates who are mounted and ridden by deities of a gender different than their own during the ritual ecstasy of trance possession. Through discussions of novels\, paintings\, films and interviews\, the presentation assembles and interprets a representative collection of such transcendental moments in which the commingling of the human and the divine produces subjectivities whose genders are unconstrained by biological sex due to the flexibility that this non-Cartesian corporeal model affords. \nRoberto Strongman is LAIS faculty.

SUMMARY:Robespierre de Oliveira\, "The State of the Opposition in Brazil"
DESCRIPTION:With the impeachment of Brazilian President Dilma in 2016 the right and extreme right came to power as the opposition split. Dr. Oliveira will show how Brazilian politics have turned upside down\, from social policies to private ones\, from economic growth to decline\, and from an open and diverse society to one that is more conservative and one-dimensional. \nRobespierre de Oliveira has been a professor of philosophy and critical theory in Brazil since 2002. He was a guest professor at the City University of New York in 2014-15. He has translated many of Herbert Marcuse’s works into Portuguese\, and published The Role of Philosophy in the Critical Theory of Herbert Marcuse (in Portuguese) in 2012. \nThis event is co-sponsored by LAIS and free to the public.
