SUMMARY:The Just Prince and the Nation: Muslim Patriotism and the Politics of Notables in late Ottoman Egypt\, 1860s - Adam Mestyan (Harvard University)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adam Mestyan (Harvard University) \nAbout the Talk:\nIn this presentation Mestyan will argue that in nineteenth-century Ottoman Egypt the symbolic unification between the Ottoman governor (khedive) and the homeland was based on vocabularies of kingship in the Koran and in Arab-Persian-Ottoman traditions. During this process of constructing patriotism by rural men of distinction\, the perceived ‘justice’ of the Muslim prince meant the local elite’s participation in state affairs and in rural capitalist enterprises. \nBased on archival documents\, petitions to the ruler by local village notables\, and Arabic political poetry and plays\, this presentation also introduces the notion of Muslim patriotism as an ideological tool of legitimating power in khedivial Egypt before and during the British occupation.” \n\nAbout the Presenter:\nAdam Mestyan is a historian of the modern Middle East\, specialized in cultural and social history. He has been undertaking research in various archives\, especially in the Egyptian National Archives. At the moment\, he is a Junior Fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard University. Previously\, he taught at the Faculty of Oriental Studies at Oxford University and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the “Europe in the Middle East – the Middle East in Europe” program of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Institute of Advanced Studies). He holds a PhD in History from the Central European University and another PhD in Art Theory from the Eotvos Lorand University (both in Budapest). His articles were published in the International Journal of Middle East Studies\, the Journal of Semitic Philology\, Die Welt des Islams\, and Muqarnas. His first book\, Arab Patriotism – The Ideology and Culture of Power in Modern Egypt is forthcoming at Princeton University Press. \nSponsored by the Center for Middle East Studies

SUMMARY:"Survivors into Minorities: Armenians in Post-Genocide Turkey" with Lerna Ekmekcioglu (MIT)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nLerna Ekmekcioglu is McMillan-Stewart Associate Professor of History at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she is also affiliated with Women and Gender Studies Program. She specializes on Turkish and Armenian lands in the beginning of the 20th century and the history of Armenian feminism. In 2006 she co-edited a volume in Turkish about the first five Armenian feminists of the Ottoman Empire and Turkish Republic. Her most recent book\, Recovering Armenia: The Limits of Belonging in Post-Genocide Turkey\, came out from Stanford University Press in early 2016. \nAbout the Talk\nThis talk follows the trajectories of the survivors of the 1915 Armenian Genocide who remained inside Turkish borders after the signing of the 1918 Mudros Armistice (and during the Allied occupation years of Istanbul) and after the 1923 establishment of the new country as the Turkish Republic. How did the Kemalist state treat the remaining Armenians? What were Armenians’ responses to the new (but also old) Turkish regime? I will discuss multiple strategies Armenians –including feminist Armenians– improvised in order to cohabit with unapologetic perpetrators and survive the new Turkey.

SUMMARY:Farina Mir: "Reconsidering Modernity in an Indian Vernacular: Punjabi Literature and the Writing of Colonial History"
DESCRIPTION:FARINA MIR\nUniversity of Michigan\, Associate Professor of History \nKAPANY ENDOWMENT VISITING LECTURE SERIES \nAbout the Talk\nThis talk considers the literary history of one Indian vernacular tradition\, Punjabi\, to interrogate assumptions about the temporality of literary history embedded in today’s normative mode of writing the history of literature\, assumptions critically linked to notions of modernity. Identifying at least two types of temporality in existing literary history\, an even temporality\, on the one hand\, and one that emphasizes rupture\, on the other it argues for the adoption of a third mode: “lumpy time”\, a concept drawn from the work of sociologist William Sewell. The broader aim of the talk is to show how assessments of modernity in literary history mirror a broader tension in South Asian historiography between indigenous agency and colonialism. \nDownload event flyer

SUMMARY:“The Visual Archive: Ho-Chunk Cultural Performance\, Modern Labor\, and Survivance in Wisconsin\, 1879-1960.”
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the intersections of photographic images\, family history\, tourism\, and Ho-Chunk survivance through an examination of two photographic collections housed at the Wisconsin Historical Society: the Charles Van Schaick Collection and the H.H. Bennett Collection. The Van Schaick collection includes nearly taken between 1879-1936\, and the H.H. Bennett Collection is comprised of hundreds of images of tribal members taken from 1865-1960. Also contained within the Bennett Collection are film reels of the Stand Rock Indian Ceremonial\, a major tourist attraction that employed tribal members in Wisconsin Dells\, WI from the 1920s through the 1960s. The stories that these images convey of the importance of kinship\, place\, modern labor\, cultural performance\, settler colonialism\, and survivance are the central themes of the Ho-Chunk experience in the 20th century\, and my presentation will address these intersecting themes and the ongoing meanings that these images have for contemporary tribal citizens. \nAmy Lonetree\, a member of The Public Historian editorial board\, is author of Decolonizing Museums: Representing Native America in National and Tribal Museums (University of North Carolina Press\, 2012)\, and co-editor with Amanda Cobb of The National Museum of the American Indian: Critical Conversations (University of Nebraska Press\, 2008). \nSponsored by the UCSB Public History Program\, the Department of Anthropology\, and the Department of History. \nLonetree Poster for the event flyer.

SUMMARY:"Was the Rise of Islam a Black Swan Event?" Michael Cook\, 2016 R. Stephen Humphreys Distinguished Visiting Scholar
DESCRIPTION:A Black Swan Event is by definition a highly improbable happening with a massive impact. No one questions the impact of rise of Islam\, but just how improbable was it? Two of its central features look very unlikely against the background of earlier history: the appearance among the Arabs of a new\nmonotheistic religion\, and the formation of a powerful state in Arabia. Does that add up to two Black Swans\, or do they cancel out? \nMichael Cook is the Class of 1943 University Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. He is the author of Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong in Islamic Thought and A Brief History of the Human Race\, among other books\, and he is also the general editor of The New Cambridge History of Islam. \nSponsored by the Center for Middle East Studies\, R.

SUMMARY:Seeking Peace Amid Violence: Professor James F. Brooks to Speak on Awat'ovi Massacre
DESCRIPTION:Modern Americans love thinking that the Hopi people of the Southwest represent the epitome of peacefulness. But in the year 1700\, in the populous village of Awat’ovi\, Hopi slaughtered Hopi by the hundreds in a predawn raid\, showering crushed red pepper\, fire\, and arrows into subterranean kivas while kidnapping the women and children who survived. This massacre is well documented\, but UCSB history and anthropology professor James Brooks wanted to find out why\, and whether the tragic incident resonates in today’s world. \nJames Brooks will speak about Mesa of Sorrows at the Alhecama Theatre (914 Santa Barbara St.) on Wednesday\, May 11\, at 7 p.m. in an event hosted by the S.B. Trust for Historic Preservation and the UCSB History Associates. Free for members; $10 otherwise. \nRead more @ http://www.independent.com/news/2016/may/02/finding-peace-amid-hopi-violence/

SUMMARY:Talk by Neil Maher: Cold War Star Wars: The New Left and the Space Race During the Vietnam War
DESCRIPTION:In the mid-1960s\, NASA began building space technologies for the war in Vietnam. Students from the New Left vigorously protested against the space agency\, which responded in the early 1970s by scrapping several of its military projects and instead developing satellites that could collect useful ecological data on natural resources around the world.  Soon scientists\, engineers\, and politicians from Latin America\, Africa\, and Asia—including even Vietnam—were cooperating with the U.S. government to acquire satellite data about their countries’ natural resources. The Soviets did similarly with their own space technology and developing communist nations. The result was a more subtle\, but still hegemonic\, superpower rivalry \nNeil M. Maher is Associate Professor in the Federated History Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University at Newark\, where he teaches environmental history and political history.  He has published widely in academic and has edited a collection of essays by historians\, scientists\, and policy analysts titled New Jersey’s Environments: Past\, Present\, and Future (Rutgers University Press\, 2006). His first monograph\, Nature’s New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement (Oxford University Press\, 2008)\, received the Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Book Award for the best monograph in conservation history. He has recently completed his second book\, tentatively titled Ground Control: How Apollo Scrubbed the Age of Aquarius (Harvard University Press\, 2017)\, which will examine how efforts to put humans on the Moon influenced the social and political movements of the “long 1960s.” \nDownload the Event Flyer

SUMMARY:"The Calorie\, Development\, and War in Mandate Palestine\, 1915-1945"
DESCRIPTION:Sherene Seikaly\nEvent Description:\nThis talk explores British economic policy in the Middle East in general and Palestine specifically during WWII. Scholarly depictions have focused on the importance of measuring and realizing economic growth. This analysis looks instead at the construction and provision of basic needs during times of scarcity. It shows how British officials sought to realize economy through new technologies such as the calorie and the emerging science of nutrition. Far from an imperative to rationalize the colonized body\, this effort was born of the exigencies of war. British colonial officials introduced new conceptions of development\, poverty\, health\, and productivity throughout the war. Their failures reveal the politics of basic needs. They also show how paradigms such as colonial development and sciences like nutrition promised the universal but instead enforced and were constituted by exclusion. \nAbout the Speaker:\nSherene Seikaly is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She is the editor of the Arab Studies Journal\, co-founder and co-editor of Jadaliyya e-zine\, and an editor of Journal of Palestine Studies. Her book\, Men of Capital: Scarcity and Economy in Mandate Palestine (Stanford University Press\, 2016) explores how Palestinian capitalists and British colonial officials used economy to shape territory\, nationalism\, the home\, and the body. She has published in academic journals such as International Journal of Middle East Studies and Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies and several online venues. \nRSVP:\nThis event is free\, but please download the event flyer\, detach the included RSVP form\, fill it out\, and mail to UCSB History Associates\, Department of History\, UCSB\, 93106-9410 so we can insure that we have enough refreshments on hand. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n. \n

SUMMARY:"Catastrophic Thinking: Extinction and the Value of Diversity\," a talk by David Sepkoski
DESCRIPTION:Why do we care about preserving biodiversity? At the beginning of the 21st century biodiversity has come to be seen as fragile and tenuous\, constantly endangered by the threat of loss. Extinction plays a central role in this understanding of biodiversity. Whereas most historians who have examined this phenomenon have placed the modern biodiversity movement in the context of a history of conservation biology and endangered species protection\, I want to frame it in a new perspective. This talk will examine the influence of biological theories about the nature and dynamics of extinction—and especially mass extinction—on the current valuation of biological diversity. I will focus particularly on the ways that new understandings of extinction in the past—for example\, the extinction of the dinosaurs—have converged with scientific and cultural anxieties about the present—the specters of global warming\, nuclear war\, and biodiversity loss. I will argue that this new model of extinction has played a prominent conceptual and rhetorical role in debates surrounding the current biodiversity crisis\, which I will examine in critical historical perspective. \nDavid Sepkoski is Senior Research Scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin \nSepkoski_flyer2

SUMMARY:"Diplomacy as a Means of Political Survival: The Cities and Duchies of the Northern Holy Roman Empire in relation to France\, 1650–1730\," a talk by Indravati Félicité
DESCRIPTION:“Diplomacy as a Means of Political Survival: The Cities and Duchies of the Northern Holy Roman Empire in relation to France\, 1650–1730” \nTalk by Indravati Félicité\, Maîtresse de conférences\, Université Paris-Diderot (Paris VII)\nOctober 27 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm in HSSB 4020 \nIndravati Félicité is the author of Négocier pour exister. Les villes et duchés du nord de l’Empire face à la France 1650–1730 (Berlin : Walter de Gruyter\, 2016). This talk analyzes France’s impact on the politics of the Hanseatic cities of Lübeck\, Bremen\, and Hamburg and the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp and Mecklenburg-Schwerin at the time of King Louis XIV. This was a period of change in the constitutional premises of the Holy Roman Empire. For these German “states” as well as for the diplomats and statesmen involved in these relations\, negotiation and diplomacy became a matter of life and death\, essential for safeguarding the existence of their governments. The place held by the diplomats in this process underlines the importance of their networks and reveals their contribution to the genesis of the early modern State.

SUMMARY:Prof. Cavan Concannon (USC): "An Assemblage Approach to Early Christianity\, Deleuze\, Latour\, and the Letters of Dionysios of Corinth"
DESCRIPTION:Modern historians map the diversity of early Christianity in a variety of ways\, from declines into heresy to competition among “varieties” of early Christianities. Drawing particularly on the philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze and Bruno Latour\, Concannon argues that  we might better map the remains of second-century Christianity by focusing on networks of people\, ideas\, and letters that moved along broader patterns of trade and communication in the eastern Mediterranean. Focusing on the costs\, velocities\, and viscosities of movement and commerce\, he examines the network associated with Dionysios of Corinth\, whose writings come to us only as fragments and summaries in Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History. Concannon shows how non-human actants such as geography\, economic activity\, and trade routes shape the interactions within Dionysios’ network\, allowing us to think more broadly about second-century Christianity as a series of emergent networks that form\, coalesce\, and dissolve in the flow of movement and connectivity that characterized the Roman Mediterranean. Sponsored by the Ancient Borderlands RFG.

SUMMARY:"China and the 2008 Riots in Tibet: What Happened\, and How Do We Know?" with Prof. Zheng
DESCRIPTION:UCSB’s Professor Xiaowei Zheng (November 20 at 4:30PM at the Goleta Public Library) will discuss the difficulties in assessing the 2008 riots in Tibet. The rioting that began on March 14 in the Tibetan capital\, Lhasa\, spread quickly to other Tibetan cities. In Lhasa\, rioters targeted Han Chinese merchants who suffered injuries\, casualties\, and massive property damage. In the crackdown that followed\, the authorities arrested over a thousand Tibetans. Controversy quickly emerged over allegations that there had been serious inaccuracies and biases in reports about the coverage of the riots in the international media. Zheng will analyze the coverage\, drawing upon video images and press accounts. The media stories shaped people’s understanding of the events\, demonstrating how challenging it can be even to know the very recent past. \n

SUMMARY:Talk by Prof Rui Kohiyama on American Women Missionaries and Romantic Love in Meiji Japan
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in welcoming Professor Rui Kohiyama (American and Gender Studies\, Tokyo Woman’s Christian University) to UCSB. Professor Kohiyama will give a talk on “American Woman Missionaries\, Christian Homes\, and Romantic Love in Meiji Japan.” American women missionaries are well known for their educational and reformatory intervention in various mission fields in Asia. Although their initiatives in criticizing child marriage and widowhood in india and foot-binding in China are famous\, those in Japan are vague: all we have been told is that they introduced “modern education for women” in Japan. This presentation will clarify the relationship between “modern education for women” and the missionary aim of creating Christian homes\, and point out the unexpected outcome of  missionary education: nurturing “romantic love” in mission schools. \nProfessor Rui Kohiyama is author of As Our god Along Will Lead Us: The Nineteenth-Century American Women’s Foreign Missionary Enterprise and its Encounter with Meiji Japan (in Japanese\, 1992) and co-editor/co-author of Introduction to the History of Gender in the United States (in Japanese\, 2010).

SUMMARY:Salim Yaqub\, History\, "Imperfect strangers: Americans\, Arabs\, and U.S.-Middle East Relations in the 1970s"
DESCRIPTION:Salim Yaqub will be giving a talk on his new book\, Imperfect Strangers: Americans\, Arabs\, and U.S.-Middle East Relations in the 1970s\, which was published by Cornell University Press in September 2016. In this book Yaqub argues that the 1970s were a pivotal decade in U.S.-Arab relations—a time when Americans and Arabs became an inescapable presence in each other’s lives and perceptions\, and when each society came to feel profoundly vulnerable to the political\, economic\, cultural\, and even physical encroachments of the other. Throughout the seventies\, these impressions aroused striking antagonism between the United States and the Arab world. Over the same period\, however\, elements of the U.S. intelligentsia grew more respectful of Arab perspectives\, and a newly assertive Arab American community emerged into political life. These patterns left a contradictory legacy of estrangement and accommodation that continued in later decades and remains with us today. \nYaqub is Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and Director of UCSB’s Center for Cold War Studies and International History. He is the author of Containing Arab Nationalism: The Eisenhower Doctrine and the Middle East (University of North Carolina\, 2004) and of several articles and book chapters on the history of U.S. foreign relations\, the international politics of the Middle East\, and Arab American political activism.

SUMMARY:Ann Little (Colorado State University) - Blogging\, Tweeting\, and Instagramming the Borderlands of Public and Academic History: Social Media as a Tool for Public Engagement
DESCRIPTION:College and university History departments (once again?) say they’re in crisis: nationwide\, our numbers of majors have shrunk dramatically over the past decade\, not to mention the “job crisis” of the past 45 years that has outlived the expansion of the profession from 1945-1970 nearly twice over. What’s an academic historian to do about this? Social media like Facebook\, blogs\, Twitter\, and Instagram can be tools for building interest and support for our work as historians\, and can help build careers to boot. \nThis talk by Ann M. Little (from Colorado State University’s Department of History) will examine the promise (mostly) and perils of being a historian in public online. \n \nIn keeping with the theme\, if you want to check out Ann on Twitter\, she’s at @historiann or read her blog.

SUMMARY:Hail the Maintainers! or - How to Give Up the Innovation Fetish (Prof. Lee Vinsel)
DESCRIPTION:Hail the Maintainers! or – How to Give Up the Innovation Fetish \nJoin us for a talk by Prof. Lee Vinsel\, Stevens Institute of Technology – 16 February 2017 in HSSB 4080 at 4PM \nOur culture is obsessed with innovation. Innovation is thought to be the goal of business\, policy-making\, philanthropy\, education\, even play. Yet\, the vast majority of human activity aims not at creating or adopting innovative things but in maintaining old ones. While our society celebrates Innovators\, the simple truth is that most of us are Maintainers. This talk first traces the rise of innovation-speak in the USA. The Cult of Invention that developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries laid the foundation\, but rise of the word “innovation” itself was a distinctly post-World War II phenomenon. Ironically\, the term was used more and more after 1970—and particularly after 1990—when the United States experienced low economic growth and fewer meaningful innovations than in the previous hundred years. \nInnovation-speak was a reaction to and antidote for economic malaise\, and all institutions\, including universities\, were to be reformed in its name. After laying out this history\, I will put forward an alternative view of human life with technology\, drawing on a tradition of thought\, including historians like Ruth Schwartz Cowan and David Edgerton. I will conclude by exploring the consequences of this more grounded view of technology and society for both the future of historical and social scientific technology studies and for policy-making. \nThis talk is co-sponsored with the Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG \nA flyer for Lee’s talk is here.

SUMMARY:Cheryl Jimenez Frei\, UCSB\, "Shaping and Contesting the Past: Monuments\, Memory and Identity in Buenos Aires"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB History Associates invites you to attend the Fourth Annual Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture  \nCheryl Jimemez Frei\, a PhD Student in Latin American History\, will be giving a lecture related to her work on memory and the built environment in Argentina.  A luncheon will follow.  To attend the luncheon\, please fill out the form here: 2017-Frei flyer-3 \nIn 2013\, then-President of Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner sparked both protest and praise after announcing the removal of a nearly century-old monument of Christopher Columbus in Buenos Aires. It had been a gift from Argentina’s prominent Italian immigrant community\, to celebrate the nation’s centen-nial of independence. After two years of contentious public debates\, Kirchner celebrated the inaugural of the massive monument that replaced it—a sculpture of Jua-na Azurduy de Padilla\, a nineteenth-century female rev-olutionary fighter of indigenous heritage\, and a histori-cal figure previously unknown to most. \nThe controversy over these statues provides a flashpoint to examine the history and iconography of monuments in Buenos Aires’s commemorative core\, to question how history\, identity\, and memory are pro-duced and internalized through public spaces. How did monuments perform specific didactic functions in the past\, and do they continue to do so in the present? If so\, who has authority in representation? What should be-come of monuments to now-questionable heroes and narratives of the past? \nCheryl Jimenez Frei is completing her PhD dissertation in Latin American History. Her research specialties include Argentina\, memory\, and the built environment\, visual culture\, and public history. Her article\, “Contesting Columbus: Monuments\, Memory and Identity in Buenos Aires\,” was recently accepted by the Journal of Latin American Studies.
