Originally a travel souvenir\, this home movie became the sole\nremaining record of a vibrant town on the brink of catastrophe. Pursuing\nthe significance of this brief film became a riveting exploration of\nmemory\, loss\, and improbable survival. \nCourtesy of The Book Den\, copies of Three Minutes in Poland will be\navailable for purchase and signing at this event. \nSpeaker Profile: \nGlenn Kurtz is the author of Three Minutes in Poland: Discovering a Lost\nWorld in a 1938 Family Film\, which was named a “Best Book of 2014” by The\nNew Yorker\, The Boston Globe\, and NPR. The Wall Street Journal praised it\nas “captivating” and The Los Angeles Times described it as “breathtaking.”\nHis essays have appeared in The New York Times\, Salon\, Southwest Review\,\nand elsewhere. \nReviews of Three Minutes in Poland: \n“In the pages of Glenn Kurtz’s marvelous book\, the ghosts from those three\nminutes are breathtakingly brought to life.”\n–Louise Steinman\, Los Angeles Times\, November 20\, 2014. \n“Both a memoir and an impressive feat of historical research\, Three Minutes\nin Poland documents Kurtz’s four-year search for surviving Nasielskers\, who\nhe hopes can piece together a narrative from the fragments of film…. In a\ngenre so often preoccupied with the recitation of horrors\, Three Minutes in\nPoland is the rare work that seems more about people than about ghosts.”\n?Sarah Kaplan\, The Washington Post\, January 16\, 2015. \n“… a haunting web of contingency.”\n–The New Yorker\, February 16\, 2015. \n“…in this captivating book\, Mr. Kurtz tries to reconstruct Jewish\nNasielsk\, knowing he will fail?not only because he arrives too late but\nbecause memory is by nature incomplete.”\n–Dara Horn\, The Wall Street Journal\, December 29\, 2014. \nSponsored by the Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia\nin Jewish Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, a program of the Interdisciplinary\nHumanities Center.

In the past two decades\, the instrumentation has been shrunk to tabletop and even shoebox size. One example is the NMR-MOUSE\, a portable sensor for nondestructive materials testing. This sensor has been developed and tested within three successive collaborative research projects of the European Community on the analysis of Cultural Heritage. It provides novel insights into a wide range of objects in the treasure of our cultural heritage such as master paintings\, the craftsmanship behind the paint layer of frescoes in Herculaneum\, and the bones of Ötzi the Iceman and Charlemagne. These and other magnetic insights will be reported.\nhm 4/1/15 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/magnetic-insights-into-cultural-heritage/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150422T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150422T000000 DTSTAMP:20260424T113109 CREATED:20150928T112906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112906Z UID:10002326-1429660800-1429660800@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Dream Island and Sea Forest: The Afterlife of Tokyo's Landfills DESCRIPTION:Japan has one of the most sophisticated waste managementsystems in the world and its household waste generation\nhas been steadily declining since 2003. However\, before\nthe first national recycling Law was passed in 1991\, the\ncountry stood on the verge of a ‘garbage crisis’ with landfill\nspace around Tokyo quickly reaching the point of absolute\nsaturation. The bulk of the capital’s garbage was landfilled\nin sea\, using special technology. Within a few decades those\nclosed Landfills merged into a cluster of artificial islands in\nthe Tokyo Bay. This talk examines the afterlife of Tokyo’s\nlandfills\, which constitute a tangible reminder of bubble\neconomy\, conspicuous consumption\, and new initiatives\nfor the capital’s revitalization. Yume no shima (The Isle of\nDreams)\, which features in Keiso Hino’s novel with the same\ntitle\, is the oldest among the garbage islands. Umi no Mori\n(The Sea Forest! is one of the youngest\, and a cornerstone\nof Japan’s ambitious green initiative that is part of its ‘Tokyo\nVision 2020’ program. Both islands will serve as the venue of\nthe 2020 Olympic games. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Reinventing Japan RFG\,the East Asia\nCenter\, the Dept. of History\, the Dept. of Anthropology\, and\nthe Dept. of East Asian Languages & Cultural Studies. \nAn anthropologist and historian\, Professor Cwiertka has pioneered the study of food in Japan and Korea of the twentieth century. She is now pursuing a new project on waste management in Asia. The talk draws from this new project. \nFor more information on Prof. Katarzyna Cwiertka\, click the link below. \nhm 4/17/15 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/dream-island-and-sea-forest-the-afterlife-of-tokyos-landfills/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150424T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150424T000000 DTSTAMP:20260424T113109 CREATED:20150928T112906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112906Z UID:10002330-1429833600-1429833600@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Global Governance Symposium DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this public event!\nThe symposium features:\n       \nMadeline Baer\, SDSU: “Water Politics\, Rights\, and Governance”\n       \nJennifer Ramos\, Loyola Marymount: “Global Security Issues in International Institutions”\n       \nPaula Tavrow\, UCLA: “Global Health Governance and Local Results in East Africa” \nwith comments by UCSB faculty: Mark Buntaine\, Bren School\n                                                     Bridget Coggins\, Political  Science\n                                                     Javiera Barandarian\, Global Studies \nSponsored by Prof. Alison Brysk for the Mellichamp Chairs in 21st Century Global Dynamics and the Orfalea Center Hub in Global Governance \nhm 4/18/15 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/global-governance-symposium/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150501T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150501T000000 DTSTAMP:20260424T113109 CREATED:20150928T112906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112906Z UID:10002322-1430438400-1430438400@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Women\, Gender\, Sex: Social and Cultural Histories of the Long Nineteenth Century DESCRIPTION:About\nIn this conference\, former students and colleagues of Patricia Cline Cohen explore the legacy of Cohen’s pioneering work in the cultural history of gender and sexuality. A founder of Women’s Studies (now Feminist Studies) at UCSB and a valued member of the History Department\, Cohen worked tirelessly to advance the status of women and deepen our understanding of women’s historical experiences in the nineteenth-century United States. This conference explores the implications and legacies of her work—on prostitution\, the popular press\, and urban spaces. Presenters also address the development of Women’s/Feminist Studies locally and nationally\, and explore the importance of feminist pedagogy and positive mentorship that Cohen’s career exemplifies. The conference will also explore the best ways to institutionalize and promote the contributions of interdisciplinary feminist scholarship in the future by reaching out to a variety of audiences. \nThis conference is co-sponsored by the Department of History\, the Department of Feminist Studies\, the Hull Chair Funds in Feminist Studies\, the College of Letters and Sciences\, the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts\, the Division of Social Sciences\, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the UCSB Graduate Student Association\, the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture\, and by generous grants from individual research funds of John Majewski\, James F.

This talk will explore recent developments in Japan\, including the resurgence of Japanese hip-hop\, idol groups like AKB48\, and a virtual idol\, or “vocaloid\,” by the name of Hatsune Miku. Each case highlights different dynamics in the restructuring of business and creativity\, and fan and musician interaction. I argue that music offers lessons for rethinking capitalism and democracy in the 21st century.\nBio: Ian Condry is a cultural anthropologist who studies cultural movements that go global from below.

Information that we might consider benign in the Western context was off-limits to most of the general populace throughout the existence of the Soviet Union. Controls over the circulation of information were particularly strict relating to matters of national security\, which usually subsumed most scientific and engineering activity. Yet\, the state also had an imperative to publicize Soviet achievements in science and technology even as it kept most of this activity secret. This obvious contradiction forms the backdrop to my current paper in which I describe limits on the production\, circulation\, and interpretation of scientific knowledge in the Soviet Union (with examples of secret artifacts\, people\, and institutions) as a way to add to a broader discussion of secrecy and science and technology in the 20th century. \nAbout the Speaker\nAsif Siddiqi is a Professor of History at Fordham University in New York and specializes in the history of 20th century science and technology. He has written widely on the Soviet space program\, including his most recent book The Red Rockets’ Glare: Spaceflight and the Soviet Imagination\, 1857-1957 (Cambridge\, 2010). His new projects include a book project on the history of use of scientific and engineering expertise to maintain and expand the Stalinist Gulag. He is also writing book on the origins of the Indian space program set in the larger context of Cold War science in a postcolonial setting.

Sears McGee’s new book An Industrious Mind\, The Worlds of Sir Simonds D’Ewes (Stanford University Press\, 2015).With guest speaker Prof. Chris R. Kyle\, Associate Professor of History\, Syracuse University. \nReception to follow with light refreshments. \nThis is the first biography of Sir Simonds D’Ewes (1602–1650)\, a member of England’s Long Parliament\, a Puritan\, historian and antiquarian. D’Ewes took the Puritan side against the supporters of King Charles I in the English Civil War. His extensive journal of the Long Parliament\, together with his autobiography and correspondence\, offer a uniquely comprehensive view of the life of a seventeenth-century English gentleman\, his opinions\, thoughts and prejudices during this tumultuous time. \nD’Ewes left the most extensive archive of personal papers of any individual in early modern Europe. His life and thought before the Long Parliament are carefully analyzed\, so that the mind of one of the Parliamentary opponents of King Charles I’s policies can be understood more fully than that of any other Member of Parliament. Although conservative in social and political terms\, D’Ewes’s Puritanism prevented him from joining his Royalist younger brother Richard during the civil war that began in 1642. \nD’Ewes collected one of the largest private libraries of books and manuscripts in England in his era and used them to pursue historical and antiquarian research. He followed news of national and international events voraciously and conveyed his opinions of them to his friends in many hundreds of letters. McGee’s biography is the first thorough exploration of the life and ideas of this extraordinary observer\, offering fresh insight into this pivotal time in European history. \nCopies will be available for signing and purchase.

Keith David Watenpaugh’s book Bread from Stones: The Middle East and the Making of Modern Humanitarianism (University of California\, 2015) contributes to this debate from the unique perspective of the First World War and its aftermath in the Middle East. In this talk\, he argues that international and local efforts to address mass violence against the Ottoman Empire’s ethnic minorities gave rise to a new form of conceptualizing and writing about human suffering and human need ?humanitarian knowledge. Humanitarian knowledge was not only necessary to the design and implementation of humanitarian programs for rehabilitation and relief\, but was a critical element in the process of naming genocide and comprehending its vast\, multigenerational consequences for humanity.\nKeith David Watenpaugh is a historian and director of the UC Davis Human Rights Initiative. He is author of Being Modern in the Middle East (Princeton\, 2006)\, and his articles have appeared in the American Historical Review\, Social History\, the Journal of Human Rights\, Humanity\, as well as Perspectives on History\, the Chronicle of Higher Education and the Huffington Post. \nCo-sponsored by the Center for Middle East Studies\, the Department of History\, and the Department of Global Studies\nhm 5/19/15 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/the-form-and-content-of-suffering-humanitarian-knowledge-and-genocide-in-the-early-20th-century-middle-east/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150527T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150527T000000 DTSTAMP:20260424T113109 CREATED:20150928T112906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112906Z UID:10002318-1432684800-1432684800@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Un(rely)able: The Technological Health Crisis of Toxic Shock Syndrome & Rely Tampons DESCRIPTION:This lecture series on the biopolitics of reproduction in the US and globally is hosted by the Black Studies Colloquium\, with the co-sponsorship of the department of Feminist Studies\, Chicana and Chicano Studies\, the History of Science Program\, and the New Health\, Medicine\, and Care Working Group.\nSpeakers will explore how cultural and political commitments shape and constrain the conditions under which women and people of color control their reproductive lives and experience ownership over their own biology.
