SUMMARY:Cold War Curvature: Measuring and Modeling Gravity in Postwar American Physics (David Kaiser\, MIT)
DESCRIPTION:A popular image persists of Albert Einstein as a loner\, someone who avoided the hustle and bustle of everyday life in favor of quiet contemplation. Yet Einstein was deeply engaged with politics throughout his life; indeed\, he was so active politically that the FBI kept him under surveillance for decades. His most enduring scientific legacy\, the general theory of relativity – physicists’ reigning explanation of gravity and the basis for nearly all our thinking about the cosmos – has likewise been cast as an austere temple standing aloof from the all-too-human dramas of political history. But was it so? By focusing on examples of research on general relativity from the 1950s and 1960s\, this lecture will examine some of the ways in which research on Einstein’s theory was embedded in\, and at times engulfed by\, the tumult of world politics. \n \nDavid Kaiser is Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science and Professor of Physics at MIT. His books include Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion of Feynman Diagrams in Postwar Physics (2005)\, which received the Pfizer Prize from the History of Science Society for best book in the field; and How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science\, Counterculture\, and the Quantum Revival (2011)\, which was named “Book of the Year” by Physics World magazine. He is currently writing two books about gravity: a physics textbook with his colleague Alan Guth on gravitation and cosmology\, and a history of research. \nSponsored by the Department of History and the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG. \nA link to the flyer is here…

SUMMARY:Life and Death at Ancient Eleon: Excavations in Central Greece\, 2011-2017
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Brendan Burke\, Associate Professor and Department Chair of Greek and Roman Studies at the University of Victoria\, Canada. \nExcavations at ancient Eleon\, located 15 km east of Thebes in central Greece\, have revealed a center of vibrant activity throughout the Late Bronze Age\, starting with a burial complex of the Late Helladic I period (ca. 1600 BCE) and continuing to significant settlement remains of the Late Helladic IIIC period (ca. 1100 BCE). Work has also revealed intriguing evidence for the site’s re-use in historical periods\, when the construction of a massive polygonal wall redefined the site’s topography and function during the late Archaic period (ca. 500 BCE). \nThis is the annual Sandra L. Church Lecture in memory of Albert H. Clayburgh\, sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America and the UCSB Department of Classics. \nFor assistance in accommodating a disability\, please contact Anna Roberts in the UCSB Classics Department.

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:Professor Tracy Adams\, University of Auckland\, New Zealand\, "The French Political Royal Mistress and Gallic Singularity"
DESCRIPTION:We are so used to the idea of the royal mistress as a constituent element of the French king’s grandeur that we tend not to think about how strange it is that in Ancien Régime France nine women who were not part of the royal family exercised significant political influence. \nAdams suggests that the key moment in the emergence of influential royal mistresses comes when the royal family\, traditionally assimilated with the Holy Family\, began to be assimilated with the more fluidly composed family of classical deities. Focusing on the period between Agnès Sorel (1422-1450)\, whose representation as the Virgin Mary can only be described as a “one-off” and the Duchess of Etampes (1508-1580)\, who performed her role with François I in the “theater” of Fontainebleau where massive frescoes drawn from classical mythology provided a gloss for her career\, Adams draws attention to the convergence of theatrical reading practices and renewed interest in the chaste but fierce huntress Diana that made the role of politically influential royal mistress thinkable.Tracy Adams

SUMMARY:Prof. Michele Salzman (UC Riverside) - Lay Aristocrats and Roman Bishops
DESCRIPTION:Felix III\, who held the papal seat from 483-492\, is called by several scholars “Rome’s first aristocratic bishop.” As the first elected pope after the fall of the last western emperor\, his aristocratic origins would bestow a distinctly new status to the office of bishop of Rome on the eve of new challenges to his authority from the Eastern Patriarch in Constantinople\, Acacius. But was Felix the first aristocratic bishop? And how important were social background and aristocratic networks after the fall of the western empire? The Letters of Felix and close reading of contemporary sources shed new light on Felix’s social standing and how he used his social networks to become the first Roman pope to break with Constantinople in what is today known as the Acacian schism. Sponsored by the California Consortium for Late Antiquity\, the Department of Art History and the Cordano Endowed Chair in Catholic Studies.

SUMMARY:Amy Stanley\, "Finding Echigo in Edo: Snow Country Migrants and Their Urban Worlds"
DESCRIPTION:The Echigo province migrant was a familiar type in nineteenth-century Edo. Every year in the tenth month\, snow country peasants would come down the mountains on the Nakasendō Highway and enter the city through Itabashi Station. They wandered down the main street in Hongō\, where they were met by labor scouts who had learned to recognize their bewildered expressions and country accents. Many ended up in hitoyado\, the city’s notorious boarding houses for laborers\, where they were dispatched to rice polishers and bathhouses. Others found work in service with the help of migrants who had come before. Most went home eventually\, but others stayed on in the city – they became shop owners\, peddlers\, and even low-ranking samurai. This talk examines the lives of Echigo people in Tenpō-era Edo to illuminate the importance of regional connections and rural-urban migration in the development of Japan’s largest city. It also considers how documents kept in far-flung places (in this case Niigata Prefecture) can illuminate urban space. \n  \nAmy Stanley is an associate professor in the History Department at Northwestern University\, where she teaches early modern and modern Japanese and global history. She is also the author of Selling Women: Prostitution\, Households\, and the Market in Early Modern Japan (UC Press\, 2012) and “Maidservants’ Tales: Narrating Domestic and Global History in Eurasia\, 1500-1800” (AHR\, 2016)\, as well as articles in The Journal of Asian Studies and The Journal of Japanese Studies. She is on Twitter @astanley711.

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:The Museum of Methodology and the Criminalization of Culture\, Rio c. 1938 (Amy Buono\, UCSB/UERJ)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Amy Buono\, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at UCSB and Researcher at the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro\, who will be presenting a paper entitled “The Museum of Methodology and the Criminizalization of Culture\, Rio c. 1938”. \nThe talk will be held at 5pm on Wednesday\, March 7th\, in the Engineering Science Building 1001\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nAbstract: The Civil Police Museum of Rio de Janeiro\, established within the Police Academy in 1912\, went by many names: it was also known as the “Museum of Crime” and\, tellingly\, the “Museum of Methodology.” This lecture examines the museum\, its collections\, and the role of objects and visual culture in building a civic culture that linked collecting and seeing with police training. By 1938\, the Civil Police Museum became Brazil’s earliest institutional collection of Afro-Brazilian heritage\, one eventually under the domain of IPHAN. This talk explores the contradictory ways a particular collection within a collection\, the inner “Museum of Black Magic\,” was understood and preserved in the period\, highlighting how police violence and museum preservation are intertwined. \nAbout the Speaker: Amy Buono is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and affiliated as a Researcher at the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Her scholarship centers on materiality\, memory\, and museums\, with a special focus on Brazil and the Atlantic world. Amy’s is the author of the forthcoming book Tupinambá Feathercraft in the Brazilian Atlantic (University of Pennsylvania Press). Her current book project centers on race\, pedagogy\, and the visuality of crime in the Civil Police Museum of Rio de Janeiro.

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.

SUMMARY:Transregional Connections: Architectural Monuments and the Construction of Early Modern Empires: Gulru Necipoglu
DESCRIPTION:Transregional Connections:\nArchitectural Monuments and the Construction of Early Modern Islamic Empires\nThe Center for Middle East Studies at UCSB presents\nTuesday\, April 17th\, 4:00pm\, HSSB 6020\nGülru Necipoğlu (Harvard University)\nAga Khan Professor and Director of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture \nFocusing on the 16th and 17th centuries\, this lecture presents comparative reflections on the architectural cultures of the Mediterranean-based Ottomans\, the Safavids in Iran\, and the Mughals in the Indian subcontinent\, with an aim to highlight transregional interactions and intercrossings. From such a perspective\, the tri-continental landmass dominated by these three early modern empires can be conceptualized asan interconnected contact zone. Th e premise of the lecture is that in the realm of architectural culture\, the physical\, mental\, and social spaces interrelate and overlap with one another. Th e intimate connection between empire building and architectural construction is exemplified by the differing socio-religious and palatial building types favored in each of the three centralizing empires as expressions of distinctive theories of dynastic legitimacy. By emphasizing the deliberateness of these choices\, the lecture challenges prevailing assumptions about an unmediated and self-propelled evolution of regional architectural and ornamental forms in the early modern era.

SUMMARY:Ian Coller - "The French Revolution and the Rights of Muslims" Monday\, April 23rd at 5:00pm in the UCEN Flying A Studio
DESCRIPTION:The French Revolution and the Rights of Muslims \nIan Coller\, University of California\, Irvine \nOn 24 December 1789\, a deputy named François de Hell proposed to the National Assembly an explicit decree that would allow Muslims to enjoy “all the rights\, honors and advantages enjoyed by French citizens.”Coller Flyer \nSome historians have read this proposition as no more than a feint to appear universalist while seeking to exclude other religious minorities—and Jews in particular— from the enjoyment of equal rights. On the assumption that there were no Muslims in France in this period\, they concluded that such a proposal could have no independent content. \nThis paper will suggest that the question of Muslim rights was both substantive and significant in terms of the direction of the Revolution. It responded to a longer tradition of reciprocal rights guaranteed by treaties between France and the Ottoman Empire. Already during the 1770s and 1780s Muslims in France were beginning to assert these rights. Yet the rights they claimed were not equal rights as citizens\, but differentiated rights as subjects. \nIn this sense\, then\, rather than an empty gesture of universalism\, Hell’s proposal was in fact a concrete attempt to institute unequal rights. By offering Muslims equivalent rights\, but as Muslims\, rather than as citizens\, Hell was drawing on the existing precedents to establish differentiated categories—which could offer Jews “rights” as second-class citizens. \nInstead\, the Assembly voted to abolish the impediments to non-Catholic participation\, while retaining the temporary suspension of a decision regarding Jews. In September 1791\, when the disqualification of Jews was fully lifted\, the precedent of Muslims was cited in support. In the years that followed\, this conception of Muslims as citizens would become a key contention of those claiming the Revolution was an affront against Christianity and the Church. It would also set the scene for further struggles over just what role Muslims might play in the Revolution.
