Figuring the photographic negative for purposes of counter-documentary, Stopforth sought to challenge the apartheid government\u2019s ideology about anti-apartheid political activists as treasonous, discrediting and undermining the official narrative. The Biko Series\u2019 drawings open up a plethora of questions about the necro-\/negro-philia of seeing and the limits of rendering blackness through a fixation on anatomy\/biology. Questioning the political promise of figural artistic strategies that mobilize \u201cthe corpse,\u201d Zondi ask: Why is it necessary for the world to see the image of the corpse (again) in aesthetic practice, in order to reflect on violence, and what modes of recognition and identification are produced? What is enacted by recruiting\/inviting the viewer to adopt such seeing?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-2-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-controls=\"section-1-2-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">The Politics of Hormones<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-2-sKMRZuql-5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-2-sKMRZuql-5\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2792\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/b3f40da242cc1b68517fa6385845e337c9a04c93-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/b3f40da242cc1b68517fa6385845e337c9a04c93-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/b3f40da242cc1b68517fa6385845e337c9a04c93.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thursday, September 29, 2022 (one-day conference)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Sponsors: American Studies and Ethnicity, Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies, Center of Science, Technology, and Public Life, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Levan Institute for the Humanities<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Description: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one-day conference will investigate dominant and lesser-known narratives about the role of hormones in the embodiment of vertical logics of race, sex, gender, and sexuality. Presenters will engage with how hormones have neurological, cardiovascular, immune, and other effects such as energy level, response to injury, and stress, alongside the conception of hormones in feminist, queer, and trans contexts, that are often discussed in reference to sex-associated bodily developments and reproduction. This broader frame is an attempt to slough off the taxonomical and reified terms of corporeality and identity in the hope that other shapes and constellations of solidarity, inquiry, and knowledge might emerge.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-3-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-controls=\"section-1-3-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Suely Rolnik (PUC-SP) | On Spiders, the Guarani and Some Europeans: More Notes on Decolonizing the Unconscious<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-3-sKMRZuql-5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-3-sKMRZuql-5\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2793\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/a16dbd8911097fee71514b0fdc840a2d62013e83-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/a16dbd8911097fee71514b0fdc840a2d62013e83-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/a16dbd8911097fee71514b0fdc840a2d62013e83.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thursday, September 29, 2022<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Sponsors: Comparative Literature, French and Italian, Latin American and Iberian Cultures, Visual Studies Research Institute, Dornsife Dean of Humanities, Dornsife Office of Graduate Professional Programs, Levan Institute for the Humanities<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Description: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professor <\/span>Suely Rolnik<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a psychoanalyst, arts and culture critic, and curator.

Many statues have been taken down already, and there are ambitious plans for removing many more. In Estonia, the state plans to clear all public spaces and architecture of Soviet symbols. This talk examines issues raised by these plans, ranging from the impact of the war to critiques of the removal plans posed by art and heritage experts. Finally, the talk addresses the strange silence around the most obvious of global comparisons &#8211; the removal of colonial and confederate statues in the West. <strong>Linda Kaljundi<\/strong> is professor of history at the Estonian Academy of Arts and curator at the Kumu Art Museum, where she co-curated the permanent exposition on modern Estonian art. Her research focuses on imperial and indigenous imaginaries in the Baltic region, environmental history, and memory politics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-7-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-controls=\"section-1-7-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Unsettled Debts: 1968 and the Problem of Historical Memory | Special Issue Launch<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-7-sKMRZuql-5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-7-sKMRZuql-5\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2800\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/b7b5f3d0eb3ae0738e03e516d05af3537a2a3e3a-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/b7b5f3d0eb3ae0738e03e516d05af3537a2a3e3a-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/b7b5f3d0eb3ae0738e03e516d05af3537a2a3e3a.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuesday, November 1, 2022<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Sponsors: Annenberg School of Communication,<i> International Journal of Communication<\/i>, Annenberg Center for Collaborative Communication, Levan Institute for the Humanities<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Description: How might we orient to the contested past in order to foster decisive action in the present? Back in 2018, the 50th anniversary of 1968 gave rise to a small industry devoted to commemoration. Scholars and journalists revisited that year\u2019s insurgencies in dozens of essays and books, activists paid tribute to its emancipatory legacy in the streets, and companies exploited it on our screens. Anticipating this popular interest, a group at USC Annenberg took up 1968 as the theme for our first graduate student conference. Participants analyzed media objects and moments from 1968 that had been activated in the service of contemporary social movements, obscured through superficial citation, or omitted from the dominant record. Each case reminded us that history is a battleground; more than just a record to set straight, it is a process of production in which we participate, where even our principled longings in the present can become obstacles to confronting our co-implication with the past. Guest-edited by <b>Clare O\u2019Connor<\/b> and featuring a Foreword by <b>Robin D.G. Kelley<\/b>, \u201cUnsettled Debts: 1968 and the Problem of Historical Memory\u201d is a collection of essays based on the 2018 conference proceedings. How, contributors ask, might we revisit the \u201cspirit of &#8217;68\u201d without succumbing to distorted forms of memory such as nostalgia and myth?

His passing initiated a fierce lawsuit over his large estate. Before Shamama\u2019s riches could be disbursed among his aspiring heirs, Italian courts had to decide which law to apply to his estate\u2014a matter that depended on his nationality. Was he an Italian citizen? A subject of the Bey of Tunis? Had he become stateless? Or was his Jewishness also his nationality? Tracing a decade-long legal battle involving Jews, Muslims, and Christians from both sides of the Mediterranean,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/press.princeton.edu\/books\/hardcover\/9780691235875\/the-shamama-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>The Shamama Case<\/i><\/a> offers a riveting history of citizenship across regional, cultural, and political borders. On its face, the crux of the lawsuit seemed simple: To which state did Shamama belong when he died? But the case produced hundreds of pages in legal briefs and thousands of dollars in lawyers\u2019 fees before the man\u2019s estate could be distributed among his quarrelsome heirs. Jessica Marglin follows the unfolding of events, from Shamama\u2019s rise to power in Tunis and his self-imposed exile in France, to his untimely death in Livorno and the clashing visions of nationality advanced during the lawsuit. Marglin brings to life a Dickensian array of individuals involved in the case: family members who hoped to inherit the estate; Tunisian government officials; an Algerian Jewish fixer; rabbis in Palestine, Tunisia, and Livorno; and some of Italy\u2019s most famous legal minds. Drawing from a wealth of correspondence, legal briefs, rabbinic opinions, and court rulings, <i>The Shamama Case<\/i> reimagines how we think about Jews, the Mediterranean, and belonging in the nineteenth century.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-9-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-controls=\"section-1-9-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Book Talk with Dr. Michelle Tellez<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-9-sKMRZuql-5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-9-sKMRZuql-5\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2802\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/1e20b11d5e7100ee0006c262b0bfac80a5a9099b-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/1e20b11d5e7100ee0006c262b0bfac80a5a9099b-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/1e20b11d5e7100ee0006c262b0bfac80a5a9099b.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thursday, February 2, 2023<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sponsors: American Studies and Ethnicity Commons, Latinx Geographies Research Cluster, Center for Feminist Research, Equity Research Institute, Levan Institute for the Humanities<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Description: Join CLLAS and ASE Commons for a discussion with <b>Dr. Michelle T\u00e9llez<\/b> about her new book,\u00a0<b><a href=\"https:\/\/uapress.arizona.edu\/book\/border-women-and-the-community-of-maclovio-rojas\"><i>Border Women and the Community of Maclovio Rojas:\u00a0Autonomy in the Spaces of Neoliberal Neglect.<\/i><\/a><\/b> In this ethnography, T\u00e9llez examines state neglect of the U.S.\/Mexico border region by learning from the community and\u00a0women-led social movement of Maclovio Rojas situated near Tijuana, Baja California.

From the individual to the political (rising fascism) to the global (Climate): crisis. At every register, \u2018crisis\u2019 confronts us, and not for the first time. But what is crisis\u2013this word that returns, always familiar, to describe what appears as anything but? Moreover, what does its repeated use say about what it describes, and vice versa? If \u2018crisis\u2019 is nothing in-itself but rather a reaction to the breakdown or destruction of present systems, what methodologies could guide us in thinking, conceptualizing, and confronting something that is nothing in-itself but rather a process of witnessing the eventual destruction of the world as we know. It seems that while we continue to live in crisis, and moreover, are made to bear witness to crisis almost on daily basis, we lack critical apparatus to <i>think<\/i> crisis, to treat crisis as a critical category to navigate the rapidly changing world we live in. The question then is this: what does it mean to think \u201ccrisis,\u201d when crisis is what would problematize or at least provoke thinking?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-11-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-controls=\"section-1-11-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Lecture by Keith Howard | Songs for \u201cGreat Leaders\u201d: Ideology and Political Agitation in the Music of North Korea<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-11-sKMRZuql-5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-11-sKMRZuql-5\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2804\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/83ee2c0462bef7833361bd9d8fbe349afbe48046-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/83ee2c0462bef7833361bd9d8fbe349afbe48046-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/83ee2c0462bef7833361bd9d8fbe349afbe48046.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wednesday, March 8, 2023<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sponsors: History, Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture, USC Libraries, Levan Institute for the Humanities<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Description: We are excited and grateful to be in community with Dr Keith Howard, Emeritus Professor of Music and Leverhulme Fellow from SOAS, University of London, as the first voice of the <i>Voices in East Asian Studies and Music<\/i> project led by Christopher Hepburn, a Postdoctoral Scholar and Teaching Fellow.

His memories offer an intimate look at myriad aspects of Syriac life in Palestine in the 1970s and \u201980s: religious identity, brushes with ancient history, conflicts with the Israeli occupation, fraught custodianship of Christian holy places, and his father&#8217;s role in the legendary discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The talk will offer an illuminating account to people with a\u00a0range of interests, such as the modern Syriac heritage and\u00a0diaspora, the Sayfo genocide, Palestinian history, religious\u00a0pluralism, and minority communities in the U.S.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-15-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-controls=\"section-1-15-sKMRZuql-5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Future of Writing Symposium<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-15-sKMRZuql-5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-15-sKMRZuql-5\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2808\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/3099eae1eadd4104760591f6770adf6ef9fc5b42-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/3099eae1eadd4104760591f6770adf6ef9fc5b42-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/levan-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2024\/05\/3099eae1eadd4104760591f6770adf6ef9fc5b42.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monday, May 1, 2023<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sponsors: Dornsife Writing Program, Annenberg, Marshall Business Communication Department, Viterbi Engineering in Society, Ahmanson Lab, Levan Institute for the Humanities<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Description: 2023 The Future of Writing: A Symposium for Teachers &#8211; Pedagogy, Process, Potential.
