SUMMARY:"Aftermath"
DESCRIPTION:Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UCSB present\,in commemoration of Yom Hashoah and as Holocaust Remembrance Week Inaugural Event: \nThe Santa Barbara premiere screening of Aftermath\, winner of the Yad Vashem Chairman’s Award at this year’s Jerusalem Film Festival\, will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Monday\, April 28\, 2014 at UCSB. The riveting story of two Polish brothers who try to come to terms with their village’s long hidden role in the Holocaust\, Aftermath offers “a highly unsettling look at lingering prejudice and collective guilt” (New York Daily News). “A bombshell disguised as a thriller” (Los Angeles Times Film Critic Kenneth Turan)\, the film brilliantly “succeeds in bringing the past into the present” (J. Hoberman\, The New York Times). This free\, public event will serve to commemorate Yom HaShoah and to inaugurate Holocaust Remembrance Week at UCSB. \nFranek and Jozek Kalina\, sons of a poor farmer\, are brothers from a small village in central Poland. Franek immigrated to the United States in the 80s and cut all ties with his family. Only when Jozek’s wife arrives in the US\, without explanation\, does Franek finally return to his homeland. Franek discovers that Jozek has been ostracized from the community and constantly receives threats. As Franek and Jozek struggle to rebuild their relationship\, they are drawn into a gothic tale of intrigue. The two brothers eventually uncover a dark secret that forces them to confront the history of their family and their village. \nUpon its release in Poland\, Aftermath reignited the intense controversy that surrounded the publication\, in 2000\, of Neighbors by historian Jan T. Gross\, a searing account of the covered-up slaughter in Jedwabne\, a once half-Jewish village in northeastern Poland where hundreds of Jews\, including children\, were murdered in a savage pogrom in 1941. Polish nationals accused the film of being anti-Polish propaganda\, as well as a distortion of a sensitive piece of Polish history\, leading the film to be banned in some Polish cinemas. \nThe Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, a program of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, is cosponsored by UCSB Arts and Lectures\, Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel. \nhm 12/7/13; 4/15/14

SUMMARY:“The Racial Politics of American Philanthropy.”
DESCRIPTION:For over a century the largest American philanthropies\, from the Rockefeller Foundation to the Gates Foundation\, have promised no less than to promote the well-being of all mankind. Acting on this grandiose mission\, these powerful private institutions have had great influence globally and at home in areas such as education\, public health\, and economic development. However\, the often ambiguous results and outright failures of these efforts have exposed the contradictions and conflicts inherent in a program of universal well being\, as well as the boundaries of philanthropists’ putatively limitless circle of care. At home\, these limits are most apparent in the racial politics of American philanthropy. Since the late eighteenth century\, African Americans and the American “race problem” have been at the very center of American philanthropy’s domestic agenda. Yet white American philanthropy’s record in promoting black people’s well-being has been decidedly mixed. In her talk\, Karen Ferguson will interrogate the nature of white philanthropists’ care when it comes to addressing the racial inequality in the United States. Who of what\, exactly have they cared about? \nSponsored by the Critical Issues in American series “The Great Society at Fifty: Democracy in America\, 1964/2014\,” the IHC sries The Value of Care and the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment. \nAdded by: AJ 4/23/14

SUMMARY:The Democratic Surround: Multimedia and the Politics of Attention in Cold War America
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1960s\, young bohemians swayed together under the swirling lights of psychedelic slide shows\, surrounded by walls of amplified sound\, in dance halls and art galleries from Greenwich Village to San Francisco. For a generation of historians\, their tribal rites have long represented a sharp break with a vastly more conservative early cold war media culture. This talk makes a very different case. It first returns to World War II\, to explore the widespread fear that mass media technologies might turn Americans into authoritarians. It then recounts how\, as the fighting began\, American social scientists and Bauhaus refugees collaborated to produce new multimedia environments with which to turn the senses of their fellow citizens in explicitly democratic directions. The talk shows that this turn became the basis of both two decades of cold war American propaganda and the multimedia utopianism of the 1960s. As it traces this history\, the presentation reconnects the immersive\, multi-mediated environments of the 1960s to those of the decades that preceded them.\nFred Turner is Associate Professor of Communication and Director of the Program in Science\, Technology\, and Society at Stanford University. His books include the widely acclaimed From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand\, the Whole Earth Network\, and The Rise of Digital Utopianism; and most recently\, The Democratic Surround: Multimedia and American Liberalism from World War II to the Psychedelic Sixties.  \nThis talk is co-sponsored by the Center for Information Technology and Society and the Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG.
