With roots in the eighteenth century, the Kleinfamilie provided a social and economic foundation for the rise of the modern nation state. However, the heterogeneous and multidimensional ways individuals and communities connect with one another today require a broader focus. A more fluid and encompassing term, \u201ckinship,\u201d offers a way of seeing and describing those ties that extend beyond the nuclear family and are by nature shifting and\ntemporary.\n\nUsing kinship as a framework, Heidi Schlipphacke\u2019s book The Aesthetics of Kinship: Form and Family in the Long Eighteenth Century (Bucknell University Press, 2023) reexamines 18th-century German novels and dramas to uncover alternative affinities that are hidden when exclusively considered through the walled-off Kleinfamilie. Sclipphacke\u2019s investigation belongs to a larger body of recent scholarly work seeking to reconceive of repurpose the term \u201ckinship.\u201d For example, Jennifer Evans\u2019s The Queer Art of History: Queer Kinship after Fascism (Duke University Press, 2023) deploys kinship as an analytic category to demonstrate how queer and trans people in postwar and contemporary Germany navigated citizenship, love, and public and family life. A broader investigation into kinship, Adele E. Clarke\u2019s and Donna Harraway\u2019s edited volume\nMaking Kin Not Population: Reconceiving Generations (The University of Chicago Press, 2018) contemplates questions of reproductive and environmental justice to\nconsider how we establish personal and public connections today. Building on recent interventions like these, this conference will approach kinship as an interdisciplinary tool for exploring relational networks and the formation of personal and collective identity within\u2013and in opposition to\u2013\u201cWestern,\u201d modern, white, heterosexual, and even anthropocentric norms.\n\nPROGRAM: \n\nFriday, October 30th\nPalmer Commons, Great Lakes North\n\n3:00

death and destruction of the newly translated Indians, racialized to fit an imperial logic of dispossession. While the files focus on Allotment necropolitics, their breath expands into the late sixteenth century as the source of colonial fantasies to replicate or build on.

This expos\u00e9 will tell the story of the \u00e9tale homotopy type of a scheme, which provides a general framework for realizing homotopy-theoretic constructions in \u00e9tale algebraic geometry. As an application of this, I will present an obstruction theory for finding rational points on varieties. At the level of $\\pi_1$ this theory will recover classical obstructions due to Grothendieck.
