The Gender of Capital, April 4https://events.berkeley.edu/live/events/237686-the-gender-of-capital

Why do women in different social classes accumulate less wealth than men? Why do marital separations impoverish women while they do not prevent men from maintaining or increasing their wealth? In this lecture, Céline Bessière will discuss her new co-authored book, The Gender of Capital, which reconsiders the effectiveness of legal reforms that legislate formal equality between men and women, while permitting inequality to persist in practice.

Registration is required. This event is in person and on Zoom. Space is limited. Register today

The Annual Stone Lecture is presented by the James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center on Wealth and Income Inequality at UC Berkeley, a research hub for campus and beyond enabling UC Berkeley’s world-leading scholars to deepen our understanding of the inequality in society and formulate new approaches to address the challenge of creating a more equitable society. The Center serves as the primary convening point at UC Berkeley for research, teaching and data development concerning the causes, nature, and consequences of wealth and income inequalities with a special emphasis on the concentration of wealth at the very top.

About the book: The Gender of Capital, by Céline Bessière and Sibylle Gollac

Drawing on research spanning twenty years, the authors analyze what they call family wealth arrangements. They break with the common understanding of the family as an emotional haven of peace in a brutal capitalist world. Spouses and partners, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers do not play the same part in family strategies of social reproduction, nor do they reap the same profits from them. The family is an economic institution that plays a central role in the production, circulation, control and evaluation of wealth. The meaning of this economic institution is revealed, in particular, in moments of marital breakdown and inheritance.

From the single mothers of the French “Yellow Vest” movement to the divorce of Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos, from the legacy of family businesses to the estate of the Trump family, the mechanisms of control and distribution of capital vary according to social class, yet they always result in the dispossession of women. Capital is gendered. This book describes how class society is perpetuated through the masculine appropriation of capital.


About the speaker:
Céline Bessière is a Professor of sociology at Paris Dauphine University (PSL University) and a senior member at the Institut Universitaire de France. She is currently a Visiting Professor at the Institute of French Studies at New York University. She studies the material, economic and legal dimensions of family, in particular through the analysis of inheritance and marital breakdown. Her new project is about gender and wealth accumulation in Europe. Her research is at the crossroads of several fields: economic sociology, sociology of law and justice, sociology of gender, class and family. Her most recent book, The Gender of Capital, was recently adapted into a graphic novel with Jeanne Puchol. Read more

In 2023, she participated in the Ensemble Evolution Summer program in New York City hosted by the International Contermporary Ensemble. As an active improviser, she explores the sonic possibilities of the oboe and English horn by expanding a performative language and experimenting with the reactionary and unexpected dynamics of improvisation. Her ongoing collaborative project with Mexican singer Mariana Flores queries the soundscapes of Latinamerican canciones populares of the mid-twentieth century. Before moving to the Bay area, Juliana was the oboe professor at the University of Texas, El Paso.

Music Studies Colloquium: Juan Diego Díaz, April 5https://events.berkeley.edu/live/events/236388-music-studies-colloquium-juan-diego-dias

From Bumba Meu Boi to Burrinha: the Drama of Brazilian Identity in Brazil and Benin.

For nearly two centuries a folk theatre genre of Brazilian origin called burrinha has been performed in present-day Benin, Togo, and Nigeria. Emerging through the migration of victims and victimizers of slavery from Brazil to West Africa in the early nineteenth century, burrinha has become one of the most important symbols of Brazilianness in Benin. In Brazil, where burrinha has become marginal, a related folk theatre genre called bumba meu boi is also considered part of national folklore, representing a romanticized cowboy culture from the Brazilian northeast. How does burrinha enable individuals who identify today as Brazilian-descendants in Benin negotiate their multiple allegiances to Brazil, Benin, and local ethnic groups such as the Fon? In what ways does the Brazilianness expressed by burrinha practitioners in Benin contrasts or aligns with that enacted by bumba meu boi performers in Brazil today? And how can these cultural exchanges and transformations expand our understanding of transatlantic diasporas? This presentation explores these questions through a combination of historical, ethnographic, and performance practice analysis. Focusing on the Beninois case, I show how the multimedia nature of burrinha, which includes music, dance, costumes, acting, masquerades, and storytelling, and its flexible format, have facilitated the accommodation of multiple references.

A reception will follow.

Berkeley Book Chats: Shannon Steen, April 17https://events.berkeley.edu/live/events/229983-berkeley-book-chats-shannon-steen

The Creativity Complex: Art, Tech, and the Seduction of an Idea

With its associations of brilliance and achievement, “creativity” is a seductive concept — variously conceived as a shield against conformity, a channel for innovation across the arts, sciences, technology, and education, and a mechanism for economic revival and personal success.

But creativity has not always evoked these ideas. In The Creativity Complex (Michigan, 2023), Shannon Steen (Theater, Dance & Performance Studies) traces the history of how creativity has come to mean the things it now does, and explores the ethical implications of how we use this term today for both the arts and the social world more broadly. Richly researched, the book explores how creativity has been invoked in arenas as varied as Enlightenment debates over the nature of cognition, Victorian-era intelligence research, the Cold War technology race, contemporary K-12 education, and modern electoral politics.

Ultimately, The Creativity Complex asks how our ideas about creativity are bound up with those of self-fulfillment, responsibility, and the individual, and how these might seduce us into joining a worldview and even a set of social imperatives that we might otherwise find troubling.

Apart from his purely musical pursuits, Martin is interested in merging his visual and musical backgrounds to create works in the ‘visual music’ genre. This involves live ensembles synchronizing with visuals on screen.

Currently, Martin holds the position of Vice President of Product at Muse, overseeing the product direction for various music applications, including MuseScore, Audacity, and Ultimate Guitar. His notation typeface, ‘Leland,’ is now integrated into popular notation software like MuseScore, Sibelius, and Dorico.

Martin is also known for his YouTube channel, ‘Tantacrul,’where he delves into discussions about music philosophy, theory and history. Additionally, he shares insights into his own contributions to music and software design.

The Wednesday Club: A New Musical, April 25https://events.berkeley.edu/live/events/wednesday-club

TDPS presents:

The Wednesday Club

Written & Directed by Joe Goode
Music Direction & Composition by Ben Juodvalkis

April 25–28, 2024
Zellerbach Playhouse

What do a gay cowboy, a slam poetry genius, a revolutionary poet, a naturalist, a couple of starry-eyed lovers, and a doomsayer have in common? They all want to experiment with the theatrical form as members of the Wednesday Club, a group of LGBTQ+ drama nerds (and their allies) who get together to test out their theatrical innovations every Wednesday evening in a church basement.

Based on songs from the repertoire of the Joe Goode Performance Group, this piece looks at the sometimes painful process of collaboration and the wisdom that can be gleaned from listening and slogging through the rough stuff to arrive at a place of trust and belonging.
