SUMMARY:"The Devil's Wheels: Men and Motorcycling in the Weimar Republic\," A Talk by Sasha Disko
DESCRIPTION:During the high days of modernization fever\, among the many disorienting changes Germans experienced in the Weimar Republic was an unprecedented mingling of consumption and identity: increasingly\, what one bought signaled who one was. Exemplary of this volatile dynamic was the era’s burgeoning motorcycle culture. With automobiles largely a luxury of the upper classes\, motorcycles complexly symbolized masculinity and freedom\, embodying a widespread desire to embrace progress as well as profound anxieties over the course of social transformation. Through its richly textured account of the motorcycle as both icon and commodity\,The Devil’s Wheels teases out the intricacies of gender and class in the Weimar years.

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:Critical Race Theory and The Health Sciences
DESCRIPTION:This symposium\, organized in part by UCSB History and Black Studies Professor Terence Keel\, will explore the embedded nature of race in the health sciences and identify opportunities to disrupt and rethink these arrangements in pursuit of racial justice and health equity. We will examine the interconnected histories of science\, medicine\, and law that lead racial differences and disparities to be mistakenly understood and experienced as natural phenomena\, obscuring their social\, political\, and economic determinants. We will also discuss the theoretical and empirical interventions that bring attention to the constructed nature of our racial imaginations in the health sciences. Additionally\, the methodological challenges associated with developing intersectional approaches that do not obscure (and indeed support) the centrality of other identity standpoints—such as sex\, gender\, class\, sexuality\, and disability—when exploring race in health sciences research will be considered through the symposium presentations and discussions. \nAll—including faculty\, students\, and the general public—are welcome to attend the symposium on Friday\, January 20\, 2017. For academic questions\, contact the AJLM Symposium editors at ajlmsymposium@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Black Classicism in the United States- Lecture by Prof. Michele Ronnick\, Wayne State University
DESCRIPTION:Professor Michele Ronnick of Wayne State University will give a lecture as part of the new exhibit\, “14 Black Classicists\,” at the Art\, Design\, and Architecture Museum. The talk describes the work of African-American classical scholars who taught Greek and Latin at the college or university level following the Civil War. These scholars made pathbreaking achievements\, opening up fields like philology (the study of language) and paving the way for African-Americans to attend college. \nThe exhibit\, 14 Black Classicists\, is organized by Professor Ronnick and was brought to UCSB by Professor Helen Morales\, the Hellenic Studies Committee\, and the Department of Classics\, thanks to the generosity of UCSB’s Argyropoulos endowment in Hellenic Studies and is co-sponsored by the Department of Black Studies.

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.

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:Professor Ann Little (Colorado State University) - The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright: Communities of Women in the Northeast Borderlands.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Prof. Ann Little who will be speaking about her new book\, The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright: Communities of Women in the Northeast Borderlands. \n \nEsther Wheelwright (1696-1780) embodies the imperial conquest of North America like no other eighteenth-century figure\, yet she has been largely written out of the story of American history. Born and raised to age seven in a New England garrison town\, she was taken in wartime by the Wabanaki in 1703 and taught to pray as a Catholic and to live like a Native girl. At age twelve\, she was enrolled in the Ursuline convent school as a student\, where she would remain for the rest of her life as a choir nun\, eventually becoming the first and only foreign-born Mother Superior of the order. Learn why she has been forgotten\, and what remembering her can teach us. \n\nThis talk is sponsored by the Slavery\, Captivity\, and Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Nicole De Silva\, History UCSB\, "Fashioning Chinese America Cultural Citizenship and the Transpacific Boycott of Japanese Silk Stockings\, 1937-1940”
DESCRIPTION:The Commerce\, Commodities and Material Culture Research Cluster will be hosting its first paper workshop this year to discuss Nicole De Silva’s paper “Fashioning Chinese America Cultural Citizenship and the Transpacific Boycott of Japanese Silk Stockings\, 1937-1940.”\n\nThe paper positions the Japanese silk stocking boycott of 1937-1941 as a staging ground that fostered the development of a Chinese American cultural and political identity in the midst of the Exclusion Era. It tells a story unbound by US national borders to demonstrate how contact and collaboration between US/ Chinese residents enabled boycott participants to articulate their biculturalism\, perform their image of modernity\, and find their political voices. By fitting this movement into larger historical disputes around trade\, diplomatic policy\, labor politics\, and US anti-fascism\, the project suggests that the debate over the buying and selling of Japanese silk hosiery was more than it might have “seamed.”\n\nPlease read the paper before coming to the workshop.  It is available here: NDS Silk Stockings Fall 2017 Revisions

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.

SUMMARY:"The Beach Boys: Classified Research with a Southern California Vibe" - Bill Leslie; The Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Long before companies such as Apple and Google learned how to attract and indulge their high tech workforces with espresso bars\, climbing walls\, flextime\, and other perks\, laboratories likeRAND in Santa Monica\, Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu\, and Nortronics in Palos Verdes perfected the art of concierge science.  These were venues designed to recruit\, retain\, and inspire researchers with bold architecture\, scenic views\, challenging problems\, brilliant colleagues and a lifestyle best described as “cold war avant-garde”.  Whether through curated contemporary art collections\, guest lecture series by recent Nobel prize winners\, or simply the opportunity to live and play in some of the area’s best beachfront resorts\, these companies reimagined the scientific life as a aesthetic choice for members of an emerging ‘creative class\,’ with a distinctly regional flair. Southern California promised a new style of doing science where researchers themselves called the shots\, where the bottom line did not constrain blue sky thinking\, and where youthful exuberance had the chance to prove itself. \n \n  \nAbout the Speaker: Bill Leslie has taught the history of science and technology at Johns Hopkins University since 1981.  He has written on industrial research\, Cold War science\, corporate architecture\, and most recently the architecture of science.  Much of his recent work looks at science and technology in the developing world—Iran\, India\, and Pakistan—and at the aerospace industry in Southern California.  He is currently writing a history of Johns Hopkins University. \nA flyer for the talk is here.

SUMMARY:Drawing Twentieth-Century History: The World in Flames\, a talk by Fernando Bryce  Copy
DESCRIPTION:Fernando Bryce’s upcoming public lecture\, “Drawing Twentieth-Century History: The World in Flames” to take place Friday\, April 7th in HSSB 4020 starting at 3 pm\, is part of the yearlong new interdisciplinary graduate workshop “Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism and the State” (History 291) in the History Department.  After the formal talk (3:00-4:30) and a coffee break\, Bryce will stay for one more hour further to discuss his work with students registered in the workshop and any other interested students and faculty. The following paper is available for discussion: Natalia Majluf\, “Seeing History” (Fernando Bryce. Lima: Museo de Arte de Lima\, 2011). For further reading see Rodrigo Quijano\, “Present Allusion”. Fernando Bryce. Barcelona: Fundació Antoni Tàpies\, 2005\, or Jiménez Fernando Bryce\, The Untimely Copyist\, Jiménez in Artnexus 2010 \nSince the goal of History 291 is to tackle the problems of war and political violence\, including colonialism and empire from a multiplicity of disciplinary angles\, I have taken the somehow experimental step of inviting an internationally renowned artist whose remarkable visual work addresses precisely those concerns. Historians\, as Michel-Trouillout pointed out\, are not the only ones to provide historical narratives. Or\, as Natalia Mafluf\, Director of the Museum of Art of Lima\, eloquently wrote: \n“Bryce focuses on the grand narratives\, on the century’s historical events and decisive processes: the conquests of European imperialism\, the great wars\, the revolutions and ideological debates of the Cold War –that is\, the development of the international ideologies of communism and capitalism shaping the political struggles of the twentieth century. Bryce’s project is thus aligned with certain recurrent themes of critical studies related to culture\, images\, politics\, politics and the formation of subjectivities in the public sphere. At the same time\, his series distance themselves from the practice of academics and professional historians\, who usually focus on particular problematics or on the study of complex social processes by way of narrative argumentation. His drawings nevertheless provide a different approach to historical facts; one might say that what the academic discipline of history basically focuses on explaining\, is what Bryce proposes instead to show. In other words\, what he discovered\, very simply\, was a method that allows us to see history”. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the History Department\, the Departments of Film and Media Studies\, Spanish and Portuguese\, History of Art and Architecture\, the Program in Latin American and Iberian Studies\, and the Office of the Associate Vice-chancellor on Diversity\, Equity and Academic Policy. \nFor more information about Fernando Bryce\, please scroll down. For inquiries please write  Prof. Cecilia Méndez at mendez@history.ucsb.edu \n\nFERNANDO BRYCE (b. 1965 Lima) attended university in both Lima and Paris and lived for many years in Berlin. Currently\, he lives and works in Lima and New York.  His ink on paper drawings systematically re-examine the ways historical events are represented in printed media. The process\, which Bryce describes as ‘mimetic analysis’ involves culling archives for print materials like advertisements\, newspaper articles\, and propaganda pamphlets in order to faithfully reproduce a selection of these materials\, creating his own ink-on-paper “reconstructions.” \nIn May 2011\, Bryce had his first one-person exhibition in North America at Alexander and Bonin\, El Mundo en Llamas [The World in Flames] in which the expansive sets of drawings El Mundo en Llamas and Das Reich / Aufbau were shown. Drawing Modern History\,  a survey exhibition of his work\, was on view in 2011 at the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) and traveled to Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporaneo (MUAC)\, Mexico City and Malba-Colección Costantini\, Buenos Aires. His work was included in “Manifesta 4\,”Frankfurt (2002); “8th International Istanbul Biennial\,” (2003); “26th Biennial of SãoPaulo” (2004); “54th Carnegie International\,” Pittsburgh (2005); “T1 – The Pantagruel Syndrome\,” Castello di Rivoli\, Turin (2006); “The 11th Biennale de Lyon\,” (2011) ; “The 1st International Biennial of Contemporary Art”\, Cartagena de Indias (2014). \n* * * \nFERNANDO BRYCE: “DRAWING MODERN HISTORY” \nOver the past decade Fernando Bryce (Lima\, 1965) has produced a vast corpus of drawings that forge new forms of representation of historical memory. His method\, which he early defined with a dose of humor as “mimetic analysis”\, is based on the careful copy of official documents\, press images\, political propaganda and advertisements so as to form large series of ink drawings that focus on power relations and their mediatization in twentieth-century history. Through the basic play of re-presentation (in the most literal sense of showing again)\, by copying or the simple mise en scène of documents and objects\, Bryce uses appropriation\, parody and irony as weapons to expose the prejudices underlying commonly accepted official discourses. \nThis exhibition\, jointly presented by Fundación Telefónica\, the Museo de Arte de Lima and the City of Lima\, brings together for the first time the greater part of the artist’s most ambitious series. A significant group of Bryce’s early work is shown at Fundación Telefónica. In these drawings and paintings made between Berlin and Lima in the second half of the 1990s\, the artist explores diverse approaches to the representation of the local context and its history through images drawn from the mass media. The large series of drawings presented at the Museo de Arte de Lima reveal the way in which Bryce’s project gradually acquires a programmatic character and assumes an almost encyclopedic ambition. At the turn of the millennium\, his work opens up\, as in concentric circles\, to encompass other regions and other chapters in twentieth-century history. He centers on the printed matter of ideology to cover war and revolution\, colonial exploits\, imperial domination and art programs\, as officially portrayed in their own graphic language. Through his drawings\, Bryce literally recovers the figuration of ideology. His project engages the images of the modern world\, fixed selectively to forge a genealogy of the present. \nTatiana Cuevas and Natalia Majluf\, curators (2011) \n* * * \nFROM THE NEW YORK TIMES \nThe wars and conflicts of the 20th century yielded entities like Unesco\, a United Nations agency dedicated to encouraging international peace and\, according to its website\, “universal respect for human rights.” In his current show\, the Peruvian-born artist Fernando Bryce reproduces images and text printed in Unesco’s Courier magazine between 1948 and 1954\, as well as other publications devoted to promoting new aesthetic or cultural ideas.\nThe largest work includes 81 ink-on-paper drawings — what Mr. Bryce calls “reconstructions” — made from the Unesco Courier. Among the selections here\, writers argue against racism\, call for better access to education and ask how art and technology might aid peace and unity. On the opposite wall are 31 ink-on-paper reconstructions of advertisements for gallery exhibitions published from 1944 to 1947 in ARTnews\, the reigning English-language contemporary art magazine of that period. In the rear gallery are 28 silk-screen prints with reproductions of images from Parisian and Latin American art magazines.\nCulled from museum and library archives\, Mr. Bryce’s project hints at the complications between originals and the copies. After all\, art during the midcentury was often experienced — particularly by people outside urban centers — through black-and-white reproductions in magazines. The rise of abstraction as an international language in art is another concern raised by this show\, since it was seen as having the ability to erase cultural differences. The gallery’s walls are filled with grand and wonderful ideas: foundations for a new and better world. The sobering fact is how familiar these problems of yesterday feel today. \nSource: \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/18/arts/design/fernando-bryce-explores-midcentury-cultural-ideas.html?_r=0 \nFor more on Fernando Bryce: \n\nhttp://db-artmag.com/en/78/feature/the-artist-and-the-propaganda-machine-how-fernando-bryce-retells/\nhttp://www.alexanderandbonin.com/sites/default/files/jimenez_artnexus_2010.pdf

SUMMARY:"'A Toda Madre (ATM)': Migrant Dreams and Nightmares in El Norte"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Miroslava Chávez-García\, Professor\, Department of History\, UCSB \nRelying on dozens of personal letters exchanged among Mexican male migrants across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands in the 1960s\, this talk by Miroslava Chávez-García (UCSB Department of History) probes migrants’ longing for economic opportunity\, masculine affirmation\, and emotional fulfillment. As the migrants’ correspondence illustrates\, they relied on each other and the broader social networks to achieve lawful migration\, employment\, housing and transportation\, and familiar forms of entertainment and companionship\, easing their transition to the new environment and allowing them to bridge the best of both worlds. Offered as part of UCSB Reads 2017.

SUMMARY:Honoring a Chicana Activist Dignity Warrior: The Life and Work of Alicia Escalante
DESCRIPTION:A reception honoring Alicia Escalante\, life-long community activist. \n\nPlease join us in recognizing the life-long activism of Alicia Escalante\, the founder of the East Los Angeles Welfare Rights Organization (ELAWRO)\, who recently donated her papers to the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives at the UCSB Library. Escalante organized the ELAWRO in 1967 after tiring of the indignities poor\, single mothers of color like her secured at the hands of local authorities. Focused on economic justice and human dignity\, Escalante’s social and political activism sheds new light on the multiple insurgencies and inter-organizational dynamics across a wide berth of movements\, including welfare rights\, women of color and white women’s feminist struggles\, and Chicano battles for self-determination. Today\, Escalante and the ELAWRO carry tremendous historical insight for the current struggles for human dignity\, as they teach us the critical role of individual as well as collective\, grassroots activism and leadership in furthering movements for social justice. \nSpeakers to include: Alicia Escalante; Miroslava Chavez-Garcia\, History; & Rosie Bermudez\, PhD Candidate\, Chicana/o Studies. Reception to follow. \n

SUMMARY:Hannah Arendt\, On Truth and Lying in Politics
DESCRIPTION:Lecture and discussion with Prof. Susanne Lüdemann (Munich/Rutgers Univ.) \nHannah Arendt (1906 –1975) was a German-born American political theorist. She escaped Europe during the Holocaust\, becoming an American citizen. Her works offer provocative reflections on the conditions of possibility for political experience\, an experience that defines the human condition. Her work is deeply concerned with the questions of nationhood\, totalitarianism\, the status of refugees and stateless persons\, and the political sphere as an autonomous domain of human practice. \nSusannne Lüdemann is the Charlotte M. Craig Distinguished Visiting Professor of German at Rutgers University and is professor of German and Comparative Literature at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich\, Germany. After having received her Ph.D. from the University of Freiburg (Germany)\, she held research and teaching positions at Aarhus University (Denmark)\, at the Freie Universität Berlin\, at the University of Konstanz\, and at the University of Chicago. Her books include: Politics of Deconstruction. A New Introduction to Jacques Derrida (2014); Exemplarity and Singularity: Thinking Through Particulars in Literature\, Philosophy\, and Law (2015)\, co-edited with Michèle Lowrie; Der fiktive Staat. Konstruktionen des politischen Körpers in der Geschichte Europas (co-authored with A. Koschorke\, T. Frank\, E. Matala\, 2007); Metaphern der Gesellschaft. Studien zum soziologischen und politischen Imaginären (2004); Mythos und Selbstdarstellung. Zur Poetik der Psychoanalyse (1994). Susanne Lüdemann works at the intersection of modern literature\, continental philosophy\, political theory\, and psychoanalysis. Her current research project is a critical edition of Hannah Arendts’s unpublished lectures on Immanuel Kant. She is also preparing a monograph on Hannah Arendt and the Problem of Judgment in Modernity. The seminar will begin with a short presentation by Dr. Lüdemann\, after which we will discuss the following texts by Hannah Arendt: \n\n“Lying in Politics: Reflections on the Pentagon Papers\,” in: Crises of the Republic (1972)\, pp. 1-47 https://monoskop.org/images/7/70/Arendt_Hannah_Crises_of_the_Republic.pdf\n“Truth and Politics”\, The New Yorker\, Feb. 25\, 1967\, https://idanlandau.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/arendt-truth-and-politics.pdf
