SUMMARY:Working Group in Memory Studies
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to the relaunching of the Working Group in Memory Studies. Founded in fall 2018\, the Working Group brings together faculty and graduate students from across the humanities and social sciences who are interested in the interdisciplinary field of cultural memory studies. \nCultural memory studies focuses on the dynamic interplay between the past and the present in local\, national\, and transnational contexts and can involve the study of works of art and literature; memorials and monuments; processes of reparation\, reconciliation\, and transitional justice; activist movements; media; and more. In recent years the field has grown rapidly and there is now an international Memory Studies Association. \nThe Working Group plans to hold regular reading group meetings this academic year where we will discuss important work in the field. In the past we have also met with visiting speakers; hosted works-in-progress sessions; and organized conferences. \nOur first reading group meeting of the quarter will take place on Thursday\, November 13 from 3:30-5:00 pm in 348 Kaplan. Light refreshments will be provided. \nWe’ll be discussing Astrid Erll’s “The Hidden Power of Implicit Collective Memory” (2022) and Ben Ratskoff’s “Prosthetic Trauma at the Nova Exhibition: Holocaust Memory\, Reenactment\, and the Affective Reproduction of Genocidal Nightmares” (2025). The essays are available in our group’s Box folder and should be read in advance. \nAll are welcome to attend regardless of whether you are already familiar with the field or are interested in discovering a new theoretical and methodological approach. \nIf you would like to be added to our mailing list so that you are aware of future events or have any questions about the group\, please contact Michael Rothberg (mrothberg@humnet.ucla.edu). Feel free to share this announcement with any graduate students or faculty you think might be interested.

SUMMARY:Claire McEachern – Coyotes and Culture: Essays from Old Malibu
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for a reading and reception to celebrate Claire McEachern’s new book\, Coyotes and Culture: Essays from Old Malibu. This unique collection of essays offers a gripping exploration of the precarious beauty and peril of California’s iconic coastline. Through essays blending personal narrative\, cultural analysis\, and history\, author Claire McEachern takes us behind the scenes of surf and celebrities to paint a vivid portrait of life on the edge —both literally and metaphorically. From the rugged Santa Monica Mountains to the shimmering Pacific\, this work captures the paradoxes of Old Malibu: a place of luxury and risk\, natural splendor and ecological vulnerability. \nRegister here to attend. Light refreshments will follow the event. Please join us to celebrate Claire and her new work!

SUMMARY:Can Comedia Help Us Understand California’s Past?
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Zócalo Public Square\, Playwrights’ Arena\, UCLA Diversifying the Classics\, and LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes\, with generous support from Snap Foundation\, Karsh Family Foundation\, Broad Foundation\, and Olga Garay-English \nDuring the artistic and literary boom of Spain’s Golden Age\, theater known as comedia helped audiences on both sides of the Atlantic understand their past and present. Today\, contemporary playwrights have adapted these 17th-century classics to shed light on L.A.’s history\, touching on issues including power and sexuality\, gentrification\, and Black\, Korean\, and Latino identity. \nJoin us under the stars at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes for readings of three adaptations from the 2024 anthology Golden Tongues: Adapting Hispanic Classical Theater in Los Angeles. Barbara Fuchs\, director of UCLA’s Diversifying the Classics initiative\, will introduce central themes of the plays. Playwrights Diana Burbano\, June Carryl\, and Luis Alfaro will offer brief pre-performance remarks and will sign copies of Golden Tongues\, available for purchase from Tía Chucha’s\, during a post-reading reception. \nAdmission is free\, but registration in advance is advised. Visit this page to reserve seats. \nAbout the plays: \nIn Diana Burbano’s Flickers\, a director in early 20th-century Los Angeles becomes embroiled in the perils of Hollywood: ambition and treachery\, prejudice and plagiarism. In her version of Juan Ruiz de Alarcón’s La cueva de Salamanca (The Cave of Salamanca)\, Burbano recreates the magic of the first days of film while exploring its racism. \nJune Carryl’s Florence and Normandie adapts Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s Amar después de la muerte (To Love Beyond Death) and sets the action against the backdrop of the Rodney King uprising. As tensions boil\, two families entwined by location and love find themselves living the American racial nightmare. \nPainting in Red is Luis Alfaro‘s “whitewash” of Calderón de la Barca’s El pintor de su deshonra (The Painter of His Own Dishonor)\, exploring a Chicano painter’s relationship to a real and imagined Spain and an endlessly gentrifying Los Angeles. \nThis program is part of California 175 — What Connects California?\, a suite of free Zócalo events and essays\, bringing together leaders and thinkers from all walks of life to envision California’s next 175 years.
