SUMMARY:Tertulia with Federico Finchelstein: The History and Politics of  Wannabe Fascism
DESCRIPTION:LAIS is pleased to invite the campus community to a tertulia with Professor Federico Finchelstein. In this talk\, Professor Finchelstein will discuss his latest book\,  The Wannabe Fascists: A Guide to Understanding the Greatest Threat to Democracy  (University of California Press\, 2024)\, where he maintains that Trumpism and similar movements across the world belong to a new political breed\, the “wannabe fascists”. This new type of populist politician is typically a legally elected leader who\, unlike previous populists who were eager to distance themselves from fascism\, turns to totalitarian lies\, racism\, and illegal means to destroy democracy from within. The author lays out what he calls the “four pillars of fascism”—xenophobia\, propaganda\, political violence\, and ultimately dictatorship. He explains how and why wannabe fascists like Trump\, Bolsonaro\, and Modi embrace the first three pillars but don’t quite succeed in dictatorship and a total suppression of the popular vote. \nFederico Finchelstein is an Argentinean historian and Professor of History at the New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College in New York City\, and Director of the Janey Program in Latin American Studies. A world-renowned scholar of fascism\, populism\, and dictatorship\, his most recent books include Fascist Mythologies. The History and Politics of Unreason in Borges\, Freud\, and Schmitt (Columbia University Press\, 2022)\, A Brief History of Fascist Lies (University of California Press\, 2020)\,  and  From Fascism to Populism in History (University of California Press\, 2017 & 2019 ).  His books have been translated into Spanish\, Italian\, Portuguese\, Chinese\, Hungarian\, Korean and Turkish. For more information\, check his website. \nThis event will  take place on May 10th from 12:00 to 1:30 pm in HSSB 1174.  After his lecture\, Professor Finschelstein will hold an informal conversation in HSSB 4020 from 1:45  to 2: 30 pm\, with students\, faculty\, and any other members of the campus community who may be interested in learning more about his work. Please fill out this form if you would like to join the conversation–  it will help us very much with the logistics! \nThis event is organized by The Program in Latin American & Iberian Studies and co-sponsored by the Department of History. ** Free and open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:International Graduate Student Conference: Borders\, Power and Transgression
DESCRIPTION:A border is what separates things\, and the border’s very existence is inseparable both from the power that sustains it and from the possibility of its transgression. In recent years\, the relationship between borders—political\, geographical and symbolic—and State power has taken on a special significance in the public arena. Transgression\, for its part\, is an ambivalent term\, as it may encompass very different ideas—from resistance against oppression to the erosion of institutions on behalf of authoritarianism or corporate profit. Analyzing borders and power must take this ambivalence into account.\n\nIn this conference graduate students from the US and the world will discuss borders as a broad and fluid concept\, encompassing not only geographical or political boundaries\, but also questions like gender\, race\, ethnicity\, discursive practices\, and more broadly\, notions like limit\, frontier\, division and critique. There will be contributions from a variety of disciplines in the social sciences\, the humanities and the arts. \n\nRegister to attend this conference and the keynote talks here. \n  \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\nKEYNOTE GUESTS\n\n\nPANEL ABSTRACTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynotes \nApril 7\, 3:00PM to 4:30PM (PST)\nConversation with historian Christine Hünefeldt: Crafting Borders?\nWith the participation of: Marlene Torres-Magaña and Emma Zamora Garcia.\nCHRISTINE HUNEFELDT\nProfessor Emeritus\, History\, University of California San Diego\n\nApril 8\, 1:30PM to 3:00PM (PST)\nBorder Thinking & Living la Vida Fronteriza (the Border Life)\nMELISSA WRIGHT\nProfessor\, Geography\,  Pennsylvania State University\n\nApril 9\, 2:00PM to 3:30PM (PST)\nAssessing the Damage: Reflections on the Trump Administration’s Dismantling of the U.S. Asylum System\nKAI MEDEIROS\, J.D.\nStaff Attorney\, American Bar Association\, Immigration Justice Project\, San Diego

SUMMARY:A Wave of Difference: Language Expression in the Argentine Feminist Imaginary
DESCRIPTION:Join this LAIS co-sponsored event to hear from Nicolas Cuello (National University of La Plata\, Argentina).\n\nLink: https://tinyurl.com/ve3fxb6c (Passcode: argentina)\n\nIn the context of a disproportionate increase in sexual violence against cis\, trans\, and transvestite women since 2015\, Argentine feminisms have prefigured the untimely irruption of public space in both process and form. The movements; interventions not only impact the social conditions and the epistemic tools for popular intelligibility of language expression of gender violence\, through an innovative use of communication technologies and social networks\, but also articulate\, from the multidimensionality in which inequality operates by gender and more broadly\, a transversal resistance to the oppressive characteristics that would accompany the neoliberal turn produced by public policy under President Mauricio Macri’s corporate governance mandate (2015-2019). This new state of public attention and mass representation allowed a reorganization of desires to spread and multiply across territories\, professional careers\, bodies\, and communities throughout the country\, which would forever transform the contours of a traditionally instituted political subject\, expanding its affective capacity to rework new forms of connection between the personal and the political\, extending the singular opportunity of its criticism to all spheres of social organization. In this way\, local feminisms constructed networks of theoretical exchange and practical solidarity between cis and trans women\, which to this day connect\, in a complex way and not without tension\, a concert of experiences that link and incorporate radical differences and specific demands of the sectors of working women\, ecologists\, diverse functional\, queer\, unionists\, anti-racists\, piqueteras\, educators\, prostitutes and racialized\, among many others\, in a structural critique of the functioning capitalist economic order.\n\nNicolás Cuello is a PhD candidate at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research in Argentina. He is affiliated to the Gino Germani Research Institute at the University of Buenos Aires and also works as an Assistant Professor at the National University of the Arts. As an archivist he is part of the iniciative “Sex and Revolution” a Programme of feminist and sexed/gendered political memories at CeDInCI\, the Centre for Documentation and Research on Leftist Culture. His work focuses on the intersection of artistic practices\, queer politics\, critical representations of negative emotions and alternative graphic cultures in Argentina.

SUMMARY:Tertulia | Race and Caste in Latin America\, India\, and the USA: A Global Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a LAIS Tertulia in the Time of COVID\, 2020-2021!\n\nIn her widely acclaimed book Caste: The Origins of our Discontents\, Isabel Wilkerson complicates the category of race\, as it is commonly understood in the US\, by bringing caste to the fore. She discusses the “caste” historical experience of the US in light of those in Nazi Germany and India. Insofar as the term “caste” was first introduced in India by the Portuguese at a time when the Spanish and Portuguese empires had a global colonial reach\, Wilkerson’s book provides a perfect pretext for the Program in Latin American and Iberian Studies (LAIS) to launch a global conversation. In this roundtable\, UCSB faculty from Black Studies\, History\, and LAIS specialized in the US\, India\, and Latin America discuss their take on caste\, race\, and Isabel Wilkerson.\n\nSpeakers (UC Santa Barbara)\nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He specializes in the history of modern South Asia\, British imperialism\, and agrarian commodities in global markets. His essays have appeared in A Cultural History of Western Empires\, the South African Historical Journal\, Historical Reflections\, English Language Notes\, and the edited volume Animalia: An Anti-Imperial Bestiary for our Times. He is currently working on a monograph on cannabis and empire in British India.\n\nCecilia Méndez  is a Peruvian historian specialized in the social and political history of the Andean region.She is the director of the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara and an Associated Professor in History. Her work calls the attention on the importance of late eighteenth-century\, and nineteenth-century political developments in shaping modern conceptions nationhood\, citizenship\, and  “race.”\n\nTerrance Wooten is an Assistant Professor in Black Studies. He is currently working on his first book manuscript\, “Lurking in the Shadows of Home: Homelessness\, Carcerality\, and the Figure of the Sex Offender\,” which examines how those who have been designated “sex offenders” and are homeless in the Maryland/DC area are managed and regulated through social policies\, sex offender registries\, and urban and architectural design. His scholarly interests are located at the intersections of Black studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, studies of poverty and homelessness\, and carceral studies. \n\nJoin us: bit.ly/LAISTertulia \n(Zoom ID: 840 6161 2112)
