Stevenson Spring Faculty Lecture by Professor of Linguistics, Junko Ito

When: Wed May 7, 2008 4pm to Wed May 7, 2008 5:30pm PDT

Where: Stevenson Fireside Lounge
Event Status: confirmed
Event Description: Professor Ito will give a lecture titled: "What Anime and Karaoke Have In Common: A Linguistic Perspective" This will undoubtedly be an engaging event. We hope you can make it! "What Anime and Karaoke Have In Common: A Linguistic Perspective" The English words animation and orchestra were imported into Japanese, then modified into animeandkaraoke, and finally re-exported to English. Tempura, another such world traveler, came to Japan with Portuguese Christian missionaries in the 16th century (possibly derived from Latin tempora in the meaning "Lenten period"), then made the trip back to the West in the 20th century as a culinary japonicum. Besides their intrinsic historical and cultural interest, such loanwords and their patterns of modification reveal hidden generalizations about the linguistic structure of the borrowing language. The lecture will address and discuss the significant role that prosody (moras, syllables, binary rhythmic structures and other metrical laws) plays in various areas, ranging from the poetic traditions of the language—haiku, senryu, waka—to the formal morphological factors involved in such loanword modifications.

Event Description: PBS Documentary "Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain" Featuring Stevenson Fellow and Associate Professor of History Brian Catlos Wednesday, March 16, 2008 4:00-6:30 p.m. Location: Stevenson College Event Center DVD Description: Over a thousand years ago, the sun-washed land of southern Spain was home to Jews, Christians, and Muslims, living together and flourishing. Their culture and beliefs intertwined, and the knowledge of the ancients was gathered and reborn. Here were the very seeds of the Renaissance. But this world too quickly vanished … Greed, fear, and intolerance swept it away. Puritanical judgments and absolutism snuffed out the light of learning. Within a few centuries, the fragile union of these people dissipated like smoke. The time of tolerance was lost, forever. Information on Professor Catlos: Associate Professor of History and Stevenson College Fellow Brian Catlos (PhD: Toronto, 2000) investigates Muslim-Christian-Jewish relations in the medieval Mediterranean and how these relate to social, economic, political and cultural developments. Understanding the nature of ethnic and religious identity is key not only to the Middle Ages, but to issues in the world of today. In addition to his book, The Victors and the Vanquished: Christians and Muslims of Catalonia and Aragon (1050—1300) (Cambridge: 2004), which was awarded two prizes by the American Historical Association, he has written numerous academic articles and travel guide books. He is a project member at Spain’s national research council (CSIC) an external faculty member of the Università de Messina (Italy), President of the American Academy of Research Historians of Medieval Spain, and co-director of the Mediterranean Seminar (www.mediterraneanseminar.org). He was Creative Consultant and a featured scholar for the UPF/PBS documentary Cities of Light :The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain. Professor Catlos has been at UCSC since 2002, he teaches courses on Islamic History, World History, the Crusades and medieval Spain and Europe.
