SUMMARY:Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture - Erika Milam on "Creatures of Cain"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on May 10\, 4PM\, in the McCune Conference Room for the Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture. Our guest speaker will be Erika Lorraine Milam (Princeton University) who will be giving a lecture titled Creatures of Cain: Human Nature and the Politics of Violence During the Cold War.  \nHuman nature contains the seeds of humanity’s destruction. Or so it seemed to popular consumers of evolutionary theory in the late 1960s who maintained that the essential quality distinguishing the human animal from its simian kin lay in our capacity for murder. This startlingly pessimistic view enjoyed particular currency in the United States between 1966 and 1975. Even ten years earlier\, this vision of humanity would have struck many scientists as odd. After the Second World War\, liberal American biologists and anthropologists had crafted an account of humanity’s past that emphasized a common evolutionary heritage bonded through continued inter-breeding into a universal family of man. Her talk tells the story of how definitions of human nature came to grip public science with such force and why purported insights shifted\, so dramatically and in such a short time\, from seeing humanity as characterized by our unique capacity for reasoned cooperation to emphasizing\, even lauding\, our proficiency with violence. \n \nErika Milam is an Associate Professor of History at Princeton University where she specializes in the history of evolutionary theory. Her research explores how scientists have used animals as models for understanding human behavior\, from sex to aggression. She is author of Looking for a Few Good Males: Female Choice in Evolutionary Biology (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2010) and coeditor\, with Robert Nye\, of Scientific Masculinities (Chicago: University of Chicago Press\, 2015).   \nThe Badash Lecture honors the late Prof. Lawrence Badash\, a long-time professor in the history of science at UCSB. The lecture is made possible with generous donations from Larry’s partner Nancy Hofbauer\, his former student Peter Neushel\, and numerous other donors who have contributed their support to the series. \nA flyer for this event is here. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Politics of Rights and The 1911 Revolution in China\, a talk by Xiaowei Zheng
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism\, and the State (His 291) is pleased to present Xiaowei Zheng\, Associate Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies at UCSB\, who will speak about her forthcoming book with Stanford University Press\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China.  The appointment is Friday May 19th from 3:00 to 4:30 pm\, in HSSB 3001E. \nProfessor Zheng’s presentation will focus on her books’ introduction and conclusions\, which can downloaded from the following links:  Zheng Introduction_coded_ED Feb 3 2017\, Zheng Conclusion_coded_ED Feb 3 2017 \nChina’s 1911 Revolution was a momentous political transformation. Its leaders\, however\, were not rebellious troublemakers on the periphery of imperial order. On the contrary\, they were a powerful political and economic elite deeply entrenched in local society and well-respected both for their imperially sanctioned cultural credentials and for their mastery of new ideas. The revolution they spearheaded produced a new\, democratic political culture that enshrined national sovereignty\, constitutionalism\, and the rights of the people as indisputable principles. Based upon previously untapped Qing and Republican sources\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China is a nuanced and colorful chronicle of the revolution as it occurred in local and regional areas. Xiaowei Zheng explores the ideas that motivated the revolution\, the popularization of those ideas\, and their animating impact on the Chinese people at large. The focus of the book is not on the success or failure of the revolution\, but rather on the transformative effect that revolution has on people and what they learn from it. \nFor questions about this event please contact Prof. Cecilia Méndez at mendez@history.ucsb.edu.

SUMMARY:A Woman’s Drink? Gender & the Global History of the Tea Shop
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Professor Erika Rappaport of the UCSB History Department explores how tea shops emerged in the 18th century and came to be defined as “women’s spaces” in 19th century and early 20th century Europe and North America — but as “male spaces” in parts of Africa and South Asia. These institutions helped build mass markets but also shaped the “gendered” meanings surrounding selling and drinking tea. \nOriginal manuscripts will be on display.

SUMMARY:Face 2 Face: Egodocuments and Microhistory - An adventure in historical thinking
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sigurdur Gylfi Magnusson\, Professor of Cultural History at the University of Iceland and a Visiting Scholar all this year in the UCSB History Department\, will give a talk May 22\, at noon in HSSB 4020. \nDr. Magnusson brings us an expert’s interpretation of two major aspects of current European historical writing: life writing and microhistory. He will discuss the significance of the concept of gender for historical analysis\, particularly on the basis of the importance of different types of egodocu-ments for the self-expression of the sexes. He will evaluate the status of the autobiography as a historical source\, with some consideration of other types of life writing or egodocuments in Iceland. He will show how the form of the genre affects the sexes’ access to self-expression and how their differing ‘cultural space’ opens up opportunities for people self-creation. Dr. Magnusson views these developments in an international light. Sources of this kind and women’s perspectives are necessary to enable scholars to interpret much material that has previously defied their analysis. \nTHERE WILL BE FOOD.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Isabella Gabrovsky on "Rethinking Britain" and Mario Tumen on "Decolonization of Taxation in Peru"
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop on Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism and the State (History 291)  is pleased to invite you to its final open presentation and discussion this Friday May 26 from 3:00 to 5:30 pm  in HSSB 4020.  Two graduate students\, Isabella Gabrovsky and Mario Tumen\, will be presenting their work in progress on Britain and Peru. Please\, join the conversation. Their papers can be downloaded from the links below.  Everybody is welcome! \n“Rethinking Britain: An English identity Crisis in the Era of Devolution.” \nBy Isabella Gabrovsky. PhD student\, Political Science Department\, UCSB. \nThis paper (Gabrovsky Rethinking Britain rev) seeks to explore the rise of nationalist movements in the UK\, how they differfrom the global rise of the far-right\, and what changes in Westminster we might expect as a result. While the leftist Scottish National Party surged to become the second largest party in the UK\, there has been a rise of right-wing nationalist groups in England such as the UK Independence Party. Analysis of historical context will shed light on how these two diametrically opposed political ideologies expanded simultaneously. This is seen in the psephological maps of the 2015 General Election and the Brexit referendum. The current political climate in the UK\, where two separate nationalist movements are in power\, is unprecedented and more importantly\, unsustainable. The policies that arise during this time will determine not only what role the UK will play on a global stage\, but also\, if the UK will exist as a unitary state in the near future. There is a significant gap in the current political literature deconstructing the motivations behind these nationalist movements. This paper will address that void\, asses the potential political ramifications\, and provide possible policy prescriptions. Isabella Gabrovsky currently is a PhD student at UCSB in the Political Science department. She has previously worked in the Scottish Parliament. \n  \n“Decolonization of Taxation: Indigenous Peasants and the Civil War of 1895 in Peru” \nBy Mario Tumen. PhD student\, History Department\, UCSB \nBy looking at the civil war\, or the “Revolution of 1895” as it happened in the department of Ancash\, Peru\, this essay ( Tumen\, Decolonization of Taxation) analyzes the role indigenous peasants played in the abolition of the contribución personal\, a tax they had paid since colonial times. Through war\, they exercised their citizenship and influenced the distribution of power within the state. Yet\, the largest peasant insurrection of the nineteenth century\, the Atusparia Rebellion\, had shaken social order in the department ten years before. I argue that resilient efforts to abolish the contribución personal in 8 Ancash date back to 1885 and continued in the period leading up to Revolution of 1895. \nEverybody is welcome\, please spread the word! \n* * Coffee will be served. \nFor questions or comments\, please contact prof. Cecilia Méndez at mendez@history.ucsb.edu

SUMMARY:Diocletian's Palace: Design and Construction
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Goran Nikšić is the City Archaeologist and Architect for City of Split in Croatia (Service for the Old City Core)\, and the Senior Lecturer on architectural conservation at the University of Split.  He holds his degrees from the University of Zagreb (Ph.D.)\, the University of York\, and the University of Belgrade.  His areas of specialization are architectural conservation and the history of architecture\, particularly Roman\, Medieval\, and Renaissance architecture.  From 2004 on he has served as an expert for ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites).  Dr. Nikšić is an AIA Norton Lecturer for 2017-2018. \nAbstract: Although Diocletian’s Palace in Split has been a topic of scientific interest for a long time\, there has been no full consensus about some of its basic elements\, from the typological definition to the original purpose of the building\, from the original appearance of the whole down to the reliable reconstruction of the architectural parts. Traditionally\, Diocletian’s Palace has been described as a unique combination of an imperial villa and a typical Roman military camp. Recent research has established the probable original purpose of the complex in Split as the imperial manufacture of textiles. It was later\, most likely already during the construction\, adapted for the residence of the retired Emperor. Detailed architectural analysis shows that the mistakes in the design and execution\, and the unfinished decoration can be explained by the change of architectural concept which occurred probably during the first phase of construction\, and by the very short deadline given to the builders by the Emperor who probably retired to his palace in Split earlier than originally planned. Finally\, a new interpretation is given of this complex building\, in terms of design and construction process.

SUMMARY:The Russian Revolution and the Trump Revolution by Prof. Toshi Hasegawa
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Sunday October 22 2017 to hear a talk by Prof. Toshi Hasegawa. The event will be at the Karpeles Manuscript Library\, 21 West Anapamu Street\, Santa Barbara. \n \nIn 1917\, the February Revolution overthrew the monarchy of Tsar Nicholas II in Russia and un-wittingly opened the door to Lenin and his allies who seized power in October. On Oct. 22\, 2017\, Professor Emeritus Tsuyoshi Hasegawa will speak about what the Russian Revolution can tell us about our situation now. He taught at UCSB from 1990 until his retirement in 2016\, and he is one of the leading historians of Soviet Russia in the world. His new book (cover above left) was published by the Harvard University Press this year\, and a second\, much expanded and revised edition of his book on The February Revolution\, Petrograd\, 1917 (1981) appears this month from Brill Publishers. Historian Robert H. McNeal (U. Mass\, Amherst)\, reviewing the first edition in the American Historical Review\, called it “the best work in any language on its subject and essential reading for any serious student of the Russian Revolution.” Hasegawa’s Racing the Enemy: Stalin\, Truman\, and the Surrender of Japan (Harvard UP\, 2005) won the 2005 Robert Ferrell Award from the Society for the Historians of American Foreign Relations as well as other major prizes in Japan and the U.S. Able to use sources in Japanese and Russian as well as English\, Hasegawa demonstrated that the decisive factor in the decision of the Japanese to surrender was not the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Rather\, the Soviet declaration of war against Japan raised the specter of a Russian conquest of Japan. The Japanese feared the Russian bear more than the American eagle. \nThis free event is co-sponsored by UCSB’s Center for Cold War Studies.

SUMMARY:The Chinese Typewriter: A History (Tom Mullaney\, Stanford)
DESCRIPTION:7 November at 4PM in the McCune Room (6th floor\, HSSB) \n \nAbstract: Chinese writing is character-based\, the one major world script that is neither alphabetic nor syllabic. Over the past two centuries\, Chinese script has encountered presumed alphabetic universalism at every turn\, whether in the form of Morse Code\, Braille\, stenography\, Linotype\, punch cards\, word processing\, or other systems developed with the Latin alphabet in mind. Today\, however\, after more than a century of resistance against the alphabetic\, not only have Chinese characters prevailed\, they form the linguistic substrate of the vibrant world of Chinese information technology. In this talk\, Stanford historian Tom Mullaney shows how this unlikely transformation happened\, by charting out a fascinating series of experiments\, prototypes\, failures\, and successes in the century-long struggle between Chinese characters and the QWERTY keyboard.   \nAbout the Speaker: Thomas S. Mullaney is Associate Professor of Chinese History at Stanford University\, and Curator of the international exhibition\, Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age. His talk comes from his 2017 book The Chinese Typewriter\,  (The MIT Press).  \n[This talk is sponsored jointly by the History Department\, the East Asia Center\, and the Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG]

SUMMARY:James Delbourgo (Rutgers) on the Origins of the British Museum
DESCRIPTION:Collecting the World: Hans Sloane and the Origins of the British Museum \nIn 1759\, London’s British Museum opened its doors for the first time–the first free national public museum in the world. But how did it come into being? This talk recounts the overlooked yet colorful life of the museum’s founder: Sir Hans Sloane. Born in 1660\, Sloane amassed a fortune as a London society physician\, became president of the Royal Society and Royal College of Physicians\, and assembled an encyclopedic collection of specimens and objects–the most famous cabinet of curiosities of its time–which became the foundation of the British Museum. Slavery and empire played crucial roles in his career. Sloane worked in Jamaica as a plantation doctor and made collections throughout the island with help from planters and slaves. On his return to London\, he established a network of agents to supply him with objects of all kinds from Asia\, the Americas\, and beyond: plants and animals\, books and manuscripts\, a shoe made of human skin\, the head of an Arctic walrus\, slaves’ banjos\, magical amulets\, Buddhist shrines\, copies of the Qur’an\, and more. The little-known life of one of the Enlightenment’s most controversial luminaries provides a new story about the beginnings of public museums through their origins in encyclopedic universalism\, imperialism\, and slavery. \nThe lecture is based on James Delbourgo’s new biography of Sloane entitled Collecting the World\, published by Penguin in the UK and Belknap Press in the US\, which has been named Book of the Week in The Guardian\, The Times (London)\, the Daily Mail\, and The Week (UK). \n[this event is co-sponsored by the History Department and the UCSB Library]

SUMMARY:Slave Revolt on Screen: The Haitian Revolution in Film and Video Games
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us for the third meeting of the Colloquium for Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall from the California State University\, San Marcos who will be presenting a paper entitled “‘Slave Revolts on Screen: The Haitian Revolution in Film and Videogames”. \nThe lecture considers existing films and video games on the Haitian Revolution in light of anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s arguments about the “unthinkability” of this event. It will compare existing cinematic representations of the Revolution to current historiography on the Revolution\, as well as to recent video games which touch upon slave revolt in colonial Saint-Domingue. Is it possible that despite conventional wisdom about video games representing the past simplistically\, that such games could offer a better depiction than existing films\, let alone many textbooks?  In examining video games as well as films\, the paper will consider larger issues about the representation of slavery and of slave revolt in twenty-first century popular culture. \nAlyssa Goldstein Sepinwall is professor of history at California State University San Marcos. Prof. Sepinwall’s research focuses on the late 18th and early 19th centuries\, particularly in France and Haiti.  Her scholarship centers on the origins of modern thinking about difference\, whether religious\, racial\, linguistic or gender. She published The Abbé Grégoire and the French Revolution: The Making of Modern Universalism (University of California Press\, 2005)\, Haitian History: New Perspectives (Routledge\, 2012) and many articles and book chapters. \nThe event is cosponsored by the Department of History\, the Center for Black Studies\, the Colloquium for Caribbean and Latin American History\, and the Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom RFG Interdisciplinary Humanities Center. \nDownload the flyer here

SUMMARY:Onontio’s Reward: When Louis XIV’s head hung from Native American necks
DESCRIPTION:French royal medals crossed into a radically different cultural context when awarded to the Amerindian people of Canada in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. So it may come as a surprise that the symbolic potential of these medals was only fully realized by the indigenous warriors that they were gifted to. These small sculptures\, designed in emulation of ancient Roman coins\, are quintessentially Western objects designed to function as instruments of communication across spatial\, cultural and temporal divides. Small in scale and easily transported; relatively inexpensive\, depending on the material from which they were made; produced in large quantities—they had the potential to convey messages far and wide. \nThe guest lecture examines the fate of the Louis XIV Royal Family medal awarded to Amerindian allies. To Algonquin and Iroquois speaking warriors the king was Onontio\, the great mountain\, a father to their people. The concept of family that this medal represents thus functions an allegory for the bond between the King of France and his subjects; a powerful ideological message for those living in French colonies far from the center of empire. The positive reception of these medals by the Indigenous supporters of the French colonists reveals the shifting talismanic and political power that these objects could carry across surprisingly diverse cultural contexts. Functioning like the ornaments worn by Indigenous people for centuries before the arrival of European settlers\, French royal medals were endowed with new symbolic power by the First Nations people of Canada. \nRobert Wellington is a senior lecturer at the Centre for Art history and Art Theory at the Australian National University. His research focuses on the role of material culture in history making and cross-cultural exchange in ancien régime France. Robert Wellington’s monograph Antiquarianism and the Visual Histories of Louis XIV: Artifacts For a Future Past\, explores the place of medals in the project of documenting the history of Louis XIV for posterity.

SUMMARY:5th Annual Van Gelderen Lecture: Ships and Saints: Mapping the World of Athanasius of Alexandra\, Chris Nofziger
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this year’s Van Gelderen Lecture\, which will feature Chris Nofziger. Chris is currently an advanced PhD candidate in Roman history under the the direction of Beth Digeser. He will be presenting his work on Athanasius of Alexandria\, bishop of Alexandria from 328 to 373 CE. Athanasius was sent into exile five times by four different emperors during his forty-four year career. His bombastic rhetoric\, conspiracy theories\, and penchant for political troublemaking earned him followers who were fervent and enemies who were dangerous\, not the least of whom was the son of Constantine\, Constantius II. One can see many things in the writings of Athanasius: the image of a saint\, a gangster\, or simply an adherent of one kind of Christianity struggling with ideas of belonging and otherness  against the backdrop of imperial pressure toward the achievement of a single monolithic Christianity. Regardless of how one interprets his legacy\, Athanasius’s stories proved astonishingly resilient and continued to haunt Christians’ ideas of orthodoxy and their sense of history for millennia. New interdisciplinary and digital tools allow us to explore the other stories behind the persistence of Athanasius’s works and tell a different story of early Christianity: a story told from the shores of Alexandria where waves\, wind\, topography\, and a network that stretched from Indian to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea all play a role in the tale. \nAdmission $5 for members and guests; $7 for non-members; free for students. Please call (805) 300 4016 to reserve seats by March 9.

Our guest speaker will be Alex Wellerstein who will be giving a lecture titled Truman’s Bomb and the Making of the Atomic Presidency.  \nWhen we think of the importance of the atomic bomb to the Truman presidency\, we think of Truman’s weighty decision regarding the use of the weapon on Japan. But historians have known for decades that the narrative of “the decision to use the bomb” is largely mythical\, and his actual role was mostly peripheral. But despite this\, Truman did make several decisions during the war that would have vast consequences for the future of nuclear weapons\, decisions that still resonate today. This talk will look at the making of the “Atomic Presidency” during the Truman administration: the regulations\, norms\, and procedures that invest in a single person the power to destroy the world\, a power that has extraordinary relevance for us today. \n \nAlex Wellerstein is an Assistant Professor of Science and Technology Studies (STS) in the College of Arts and Letters at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken\, New Jersey. He received his PhD from the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University in 2010\, and has BA in History from the University of California\, Berkeley. He is the author of “Restricted Data: The Nuclear Secrecy Blog\,” the creator of the heavily-used nuclear weapons effects simulator website NUKEMAP\, and is a regular contributor to the New Yorker’s Elements web site\, among other outlets for his more popular writing. \nThe Badash Lecture honors the late Prof. Lawrence Badash\, a long-time professor in the history of science at UCSB. The lecture is made possible with generous donations from Larry’s partner Nancy Hofbauer\, his former student Peter Neushel\, and numerous other donors who have contributed their support to the series. \nA flyer for this event is here.

SUMMARY:"Lawyers and Legal Consciousness in Early Modern Europe: A Cultural History\," a Talk by Michael P. Breen\, Reed College
DESCRIPTION:“Historians have long believed that lawyers played a central role in the dissemination of legal knowledge and the ideal of the ‘rule of law’ in early modern Europe. Recent scholarship\, however\, has called this view into question\, emphasizing instead the ways ordinary men and women appropriated the law and its institutions for their own ends. This talk will reconsider the ways legal professionals helped mediate the development of early modern legal consciousness by examining their activities beyond the courtroom and the identities they fashioned for themselves not as legal experts\, but as intellectuals\, literary figures\, and political actors.” \n  \nMichael P. Breen is Professor of History and Humanities and Chair of the Division of History and Social Sciences at Reed College. He is the author of Law\, City\, and King: Legal Culture\, Municipal Politics and State Formation inEarly Modern Dijon (2007) and numerous articles on lawyers and legal culture in early modern France. \nCo-sponsored by the Departments of History and French and Italian\, the Early Modern Center\, and the IHC. \n

SUMMARY:"Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic"\, a talk by Carlos Aguirre at the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the History Department’s Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Prof. Carlos Aguirre (University of Oregon)\, who will be presenting a paper entitled “Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic: The Biography of Vargas Llosa’s La ciudad y los perros“. \nThe talk will be held at 5pm on Friday\, October 5th in HSSB 4020\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nThis event is supported by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, the History Department Colloquium Committee\, the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program\, and the Program in Comparative Literature. \nAbstract\nMario Vargas Llosa’s first novel\, La ciudad y los perros (Barcelona\, 1963)\, marked the beginning of the author’s outstanding literary career but also\, according to many\, of the “Latin American boom\,” a literary\, political\, and publishing phenomenon that changed the landscape of Latin American and world literature. A novel about a group of adolescents in a military school in Lima that was widely read as a critique of Peruvian militaristic\, machista\, and authoritarian culture\, it became an almost instant classic but was also involved in a series of literary and political controversies. Exploring the role of literary and friendship networks\, the Spanish publishing industry\, the negotiations with Franco’s censorship office\, the scandals that surrounded its reception\, and the political climate of the time\, this talk will reconstruct the process by which the manuscript of a novel written by an almost unknown author became a powerful literary\, cultural\, and political artifact. \nAbout the speaker\nCarlos Aguirre is Professor of History at the University of Oregon and the author or editor of several books on slavery and abolition\, crime and punishment\, intellectuals\, and the history of Lima. His most recent publications include The Peculiar Revolution. Rethinking the Peruvian Experiment under Military Rule\, co-edited with Paulo Drinot (2017) and Bibliotecas y Cultura Letrada en América Latina. Siglos XIX y XX\, co-edited with Ricardo Salvatore (2018). For more information on professor Aguirre’s works\, check https://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~caguirre/home.html \nWe hope to see many of you there!
