SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Rasul Miller\, "Black Internationalism and Black Sunni Muslims in America"
DESCRIPTION:During the interwar period\, the historic neighborhood of Harlem was home to a thriving Black political scene that included Garveyites\, Communists\, labor organizers\, anticolonial activists\, and politicized adherents of various new Black religious congregations. Shaykh Daoud Faisal and Mother Khadijah Faisal\, the architects of New York City’s first lasting Black Sunni Muslim community worked as artists\, organizers\, and propagators of Islam for over a decade in 1920s and 1930s Harlem\, and were deeply impacted by its Black internationalist political and cultural character. Upon moving to Brooklyn Heights in 1930 they built one of the twentieth century’s most influential Muslim religious communities in the US. In this talk\, Dr. Rasul Miller (History\, UC Irvine) explores the impact of Black internationalism on this formative Black Sunni religious institution\, and the broader Black Sunni religious and cultural orientations it helped to foster. \nJoin this Zoom event here: https://bit.ly/3hVdvP4  \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution. Graduate students are invited to register for this 2-unit seminar and to sign up for the listserv at http://tinyurl.com/ISRRARListServ. \nHow have Black metaphysics articulated with racial politics in order to advance efforts of justice\, liberation\, and self-actualization? In this very special year of 2021\, our seminar will take on manifestations of anti-black racism and imperialism\, as well as African and African Diasporic efforts to mediate between the seen and unseen worlds in struggles for justice. \nThis graduate seminar is part of a broader collaborative process meant to engage graduate students and faculty alike. The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution (ISRRAR) seeks to foster a conversation on intersections of spirituality and social change wherein works on (and by) formerly colonized peoples are central\, rather than peripheral. \nThis approach is driven by an axial critique of the ways in which modernity’s core contradictions shape our shared pasts and presents. An era of revolutionary enlightenment\, we are told\, brought humanity out of the ‘dark ages.’ Freedom dawned. But this ‘age of lights’ brought the darkest of racial taxonomies\, and scales of slavery and human suffering unknown to ancient and medieval worlds. Reason proclaimed its mission: liberate humanity from the bondage of irrational religion. Yet rational political economies brought global empires\, world wars\, and ethnic genocides. Moreover\, new nationalisms have drawn on older religious repertories to define citizens and subject them to moral authority. Self-congratulatory Western tropes\, however\, tend to overlook the ubiquity of race and the persistence of faith\, portraying them as incidental rather than fundamental. \nColonized peoples in Africa and the Americas\, tell different tales. A generation of emergent scholarship has brought these forward. Scholars (many trained in interdisciplinary fields) have recovered ‘native’ narratives and ontologies of the oppressed\, often dislodging dominant meta-narratives in the study of the global West. In History 210 we engage live presentations of the works of scholars\, activists\, and artists whose conceptualization and execution of their research breaks new ground in these domains.

SUMMARY:Mónica Michelena: "We Are Charrúa Women: From Negation to Re-Existence in Our Body-Territory"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB and UCSD have joined together to welcome Mónica Michelena\, Secretary of the Charrúa Nation’s Council and former Advisor on Indigenous Affairs for Uruguay’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2014-18). \nCharrúa women have gone through dispossession\, exclusion\, and negation that left marks on their collective memory and body-territory. This genocidal process did not end in 19th-century Uruguay\, but continues today and manifests itself every time that institutions or civil society denies their existence as an indigenous people. For fifteen years\, together with Charrúa sisters from Argentina\, Charrúa women from Uruguay have been working to demolish hegemonic narratives of the market and state. As subjects of legal right\, they are reconfiguring their existence and re-existence in their great ancestral-territory-body. This collective search has led Michelena to academic spaces. \nIn 2011\, Michelena began an investigation with rural Charrúa women in Uruguay’s interior to question the nation-state’s devices of invisibility and to expose counter-memories as part of an attempt to disarm the social and symbolic representation of their extinction. Through a methodological approach based on collaborative ethnography\, Michelena’s research aims to rearm the great quillapí of memory. The metaphor of quillapí – a leather cape made from patchwork – implies that each woman is the bearer of a small piece of memory and\, among all\, they are sewing together its scraps. Down this path\, Charrúa women began to slowly gain recognition from the Uruguayan feminist movement\, in a slow process of internal decolonization. \nZoom link: https://ucsd.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcscu2urjkpEtMCu4cVNRoiyQe_J-RtAr1Y \nPassword: uruguay \n\nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series. This speaker series welcomes feminist militants from Latin America to share their perspectives and experiences on building popular power towards a mass feminist movement. Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent.

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted--W. Patrick McCray\, "Making Art Work: How Cold War Engineers and Artists Forged a New Creative Culture"
DESCRIPTION:The IHC‘s Humanities Decanted series invites all to a dialogue between Patrick McCray (History) and Alan Liu (English) about McCray’s new book\, Making Art Work: How Cold War Engineers and Artists Forged a New Creative Culture (MIT Press\, 2020). Audience Q&A will follow. \nDespite C. P. Snow’s warning\, in 1959\, of an unbridgeable chasm between the humanities and the sciences\, engineers and scientists of that era enthusiastically collaborated with artists to create visually and sonically interesting multimedia works. This new artwork emerged from corporate laboratories\, artists’ studios\, publishing houses\, art galleries\, and university campuses and it involved some of the biggest stars of the art world. Less famous and often overlooked were the engineers and scientists who contributed time\, technical expertise\, and aesthetic input to these projects. These figures included the rocket engineer-turned-artist Frank J. Malina\, MIT’s Gyorgy Kepes\, and Billy Klüver\, a Swedish-born engineer at Bell Labs who helped establish the New York–based group Experiments in Art and Technology. This book restores the role of technologists to the foreground\, explores the era’s hybrid creative culture\, and recounts the many ways that artists\, engineers\, and curators have collaborated over the past fifty years. Making Art Work shows that the borders of art and technology over the past half century are anything but fixed. Just as striking is that the original ideals and ambitions that animated the 1960s-era art-and-technology movement have not faded. Today\, creativity\, collaborations\, and interdisciplinary research are promoted by academic and corporate leaders alike. What emerges is a long history of artists and technologists who have repeatedly built new creative communities in which they can exercise imagination\, invention\, and expertise. \nW. Patrick McCray is a professor in the Department of History at UC Santa Barbara where his research\, writing\, and teaching focus on the histories of technology and science. Originally trained as a scientist\, he is the author or editor of six books. McCray’s 2013 book\, The Visioneers: How an Elite Group of Scientists Pursued Space Colonies\, Nanotechnologies\, and a Limitless Future\, won the Watson Davis Prize in 2014 from the History of Science Society as the “best book written for a general audience.” \nRegistration is required in advance.

SUMMARY:Public History Colloquium Event–”Abina and the Important Men: Graphic History as Public History”
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Department’s Colloquium in Public History on Friday\, March 5 at noon for a Zoom talk by Trevor R. Getz (San Francisco State University). \nAbina and the Important Men began as an attempt to address a classroom problem: how to teach students about the dual responsibilities of the historian to historical subjects and contemporary audiences.  These goals both drove its development as a graphic history.  Fortuitously\, its publication caught the leading edge of the rehabilitation of that medium as a serious scholarly mode of communication. This great graphic shift is part of a wider realignment of both the history discipline and popular culture\, and it provides both opportunities and pitfalls for the scholar who wishes to share their work with a broader public while retaining its authenticity and maintaining its accuracy.  This is a discussion by the author of Abina and the Important Men about what he has learned since its publication in first edition in 2012\, with some arguments about the future of the graphic history genre. The graphic novel can be obtained through the Oxford University Press website\, or the community-built 2-D animated video version can be watched here (Password: Independence). \nRegister for this Zoom event at http://bit.ly/abina-webinar. \nRecommended video/reading/short links: \n• “How to Design a Comix Page” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dQEfL2BfUM \n• Julia Alekseyeva\, “Form\, Function\, and Style in the Graphic Essay\,” Sequentials Journal\, 1.4 (May 2020).\nhttps://www.sequentialsjournal.net/issues/issue1.4/alekseyeva.html?fbclid=IwAR0_bxgktwVoNr6TEcWjSeVogcZjM_U36FhvB6GpHXs8mhSfMKSc9PgTz0k  \nRocky Cotard and Laurent Dubois\, “The Slave Revolution That Gave Birth to Haiti\,” The Nib (Feb. 5\, 2018).\nhttps://thenib.com/haitian-revolution/ \n• Nick Sousanis\, “No Sides\,” Spin\, Weave & Cut (blog)\, http://spinweaveandcut.com/no-sides/ \n• Charis Loke & Max Loh\, “The Word for World is Image\,” Singpowrimo\, 20.2:\nhttps://www.singpowrimo.com/features/wordimage?fbclid=IwAR2WSiuLQKWT3EkbJvtBPdC7UmLWquXuduKUGLibIi9sA5jby-sCf1cLqLg \nOther recommended readings:\n• Trevor R.

SUMMARY:History Associates: Luke Roberts\, "A Samurai Wife Divorces her Lout of a Husband"
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Associates for an engaging presentation from UCSB History Professor Luke Roberts on a specific case that influenced gender roles in 19th-century Japan. \nZoom link: ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149 \nMori Nao\, a young samurai wife in Japan\, desired a divorce from her abusive husband in 1824. Legally a man could divorce his wife but a wife could not divorce her husband. Nevertheless\, she persisted in the face of his adamant refusal to divorce her. Soon her relatives mobilized their social networks to convince his relatives to pressure him to give her a divorce\, but he still refused. Eventually most samurai in her lord’s domain in southwestern Japan were working to get her a divorce and even the lord became involved in supporting what she had no legal right to demand\, and threatened the well-being of the husband’s kin group. \nFinally\, the husband divorced her. His angry kin put him in a cage in his backyard where he was forced to live for some months. No formal record survives\, but a detailed diary of the process made by one relative of his house who played an important role in the negotiations reveals much about gender roles\, family networks and common disjunctures between law-as-written and law-as-it-operated.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Samiha Rahman\, "Redefining Black Excellence: Ihsan\, Islamic Education\, and the Tijani Sufi Order"
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, hundreds of predominantly working-class African American Muslim youth have migrated to the West African Tijani Sufi town of Medina Baye\, Senegal. They hope to circumvent the antiblackness\, Islamophobia\, and economic inequality they face in the U.S. in search of a transformative educational encounter in a society where Blackness and Islam constitute the dominant norms. This talk chronicles these young people’s everyday experiences pursuing Islamic education in Medina Baye. Complicating popular notions that link Black excellence to individualistic material gain and Black capitalism\, Dr. Samiha Rahman (CSU Long Beach) argues that Black Muslim excellence (ihsan) provides an alternative paradigm rooted in the pursuit of human excellence through spiritual and social practice. Grounded in a transatlantic Black Muslim tradition\, Black Muslim ihsan offers African American Muslims pathways to individual and collective liberation. \nJoin this Zoom event here: bit.ly/3hVdvP4  \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution. Graduate students are invited to register for this 2-unit seminar and to sign up for the listserv at http://tinyurl.com/ISRRARListServ. \nHow have Black metaphysics articulated with racial politics in order to advance efforts of justice\, liberation\, and self-actualization? In this very special year of 2021\, our seminar will take on manifestations of anti-black racism and imperialism\, as well as African and African Diasporic efforts to mediate between the seen and unseen worlds in struggles for justice. \nThis graduate seminar is part of a broader collaborative process meant to engage graduate students and faculty alike. The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution (ISRRAR) seeks to foster a conversation on intersections of spirituality and social change wherein works on (and by) formerly colonized peoples are central\, rather than peripheral. \nThis approach is driven by an axial critique of the ways in which modernity’s core contradictions shape our shared pasts and presents. An era of revolutionary enlightenment\, we are told\, brought humanity out of the ‘dark ages.’ Freedom dawned. But this ‘age of lights’ brought the darkest of racial taxonomies\, and scales of slavery and human suffering unknown to ancient and medieval worlds. Reason proclaimed its mission: liberate humanity from the bondage of irrational religion. Yet rational political economies brought global empires\, world wars\, and ethnic genocides. Moreover\, new nationalisms have drawn on older religious repertories to define citizens and subject them to moral authority. Self-congratulatory Western tropes\, however\, tend to overlook the ubiquity of race and the persistence of faith\, portraying them as incidental rather than fundamental. \nColonized peoples in Africa and the Americas\, tell different tales. A generation of emergent scholarship has brought these forward. Scholars (many trained in interdisciplinary fields) have recovered ‘native’ narratives and ontologies of the oppressed\, often dislodging dominant meta-narratives in the study of the global West. In History 210 we engage live presentations of the works of scholars\, activists\, and artists whose conceptualization and execution of their research breaks new ground in these domains.

SUMMARY:IHC Talk: Utathya Chattopadhyaya\, "Cannabis and South Asia"
DESCRIPTION:The IHC‘s Asian/American Studies Collective welcomes UCSB History professor Utathya Chattopadhyaya for a talk on the role of cannabis in South Asian experiences of empire. \nHistorical scholarship now conceives empire as a webbed uneven field of power relations and a multispecies enterprise. In other words\, the anxious and breathless struggle of European imperialism to sustain itself subjected human\, plant\, animal\, and insect bodies to its ambition to govern through logics of colonial difference. This paper argues that the cannabis plant in South Asia\, in the nineteenth century\, while being a subject of British revenue systems transformed into a race-d and gendered mode of explaining anticolonial insurgency by South Asian rebels. The intoxicating substance of the plant\, in the discursive logic of empire\, was seen to vitiate Asian bodies against European power. Cannabis also animated other imperial operations like the delegitimization of Indian sovereignty. Using the expansive reach of imperial periodical culture in the nineteenth century\, this paper highlights the Asian and global contexts within which cannabis became an alibi for rebellion or violence against empire. \nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the UC Santa Barbara. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and studies the history of modern South Asia\, British imperialism\, and agrarian commodities. His work has appeared in the South African Historical Journal\, Historical Reflections\, and Animalia: An Anti-Imperial Bestiary for our Times. He is currently writing a monograph on cannabis and empire in British India. \nThis event will be held on Zoom at https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/81976204749?pwd=ekZ2UUtFd0U0Znh6bFpIcXFXWUs5QT09.

SUMMARY:8th Annual Van Gelderen Lecture: Sasha Coles\, “The Great Silk Experiment: Silkworms\, Mulberry Trees\, and Women Workers in Mormon Country\, 1850s-1910s”
DESCRIPTION:UCSB History Associates presents the eighth annual Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture\, this year given by Dr. Sasha Coles. \nFrom the 1850s to the early 1900s\, Latter-Day Saint (or Mormon) women in both rural and urban Great Basin settlements planted mulberry trees\, raised silkworms\, and attempted to produce silk cocoons\, thread\, and cloth of a high-enough quality to use and sell. By most measurements\, they failed. Homegrown silk was time-consuming\, onerous\, and practically impossible to profit from\, primarily due to superior imported goods from Europe and Asia. Even so\, this talk will show how the homegrown silk industry provided Mormon women with a venue to make their own money\, shape transnational labor and commodity markets\, and understand ever-changing environmental conditions. In these and other ways\, Mormon women used silk production and consumption to resolve tensions between economic cooperation and competition\, market isolation and integration\, and religious exceptionalism and American citizenship. \nOur speaker\, Sasha Coles\, defended her UCSB Ph.D. dissertation successfully in February 2021. She received her M.A. from UCSB in 2015 and her B.A. from Arizona State University in 2013. Her publications include two articles in historical journals\, and she has developed a website on the Walt Disney theme parks. \nThe Zoom link for this year’s Van Gelderen Lecture is https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event--Dr. Maytha Alhassen\, "The Ummic Imperative: A Decolonial Approach to Malcolm X's Islam"
DESCRIPTION:Through an assemblage of multiple archives\, Dr. Maytha Alhassen tracks the Malcolm X’s political and spiritual project the last year of his life as he travels across decolonizing geographies. Alhassen contends that undergirding Malcolm X’s Black liberation framework is a praxical commitment to an “ummic imperative.” Engaging Malcolm’s spiritual political philosophies will also serve to interrogate and complicate Third World movement politics. \nJoin this Zoom event at tinyurl.com/isrrarTalk \nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Spring Quarter series.

SUMMARY:Public History Colloquium Event--"Presenting the Medieval Mediterranean: Museums and Archaeology in National Discourse"
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Department’s Colloquium in Public History on Friday\, April 9 at noon for a Zoom talk by William Tronzo (History of Art\, UC San Diego). \nFrom time immemorial\, material artifacts have played an important role in political discourse: think simply of the use of the crown (in the United Kingdom) or the throne (for example\, the throne of St. Peter in the Roman Catholic Church) in the process of national or institutional self-identification. Over the course of several years\, Tronzo co-directed a collaborative project with Kimberly Bowes (University of Pennsylvania) and an international group of scholars funded by the Getty Foundation and housed at the American Academy in Rome. In this colloquium session\, Tronzo describes the project and goes deeper\, considering some of the ways in which this relationship between the realms of materiality and discourse ramified with regard to the modern period in the nations that form the Mediterranean world. Looking at objects\, texts\, and whole sites\, Tronzo offers a number of case studies of such national self-fashioning\, negotiated and managed through archeology\, collecting\, display and translation\, and set to work within discourses that embrace narrative and ritual. \nRegister for this event at http://bit.ly/medieval-mediterranean \nRecommended Readings:\nAll from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome\, vol. 62 (2017) (Available on JSTOR)\n \nTHE ROLE AND PERCEPTION OF ISLAMIC ART AND HISTORY IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A\nSHARED IDENTITY IN SICILY (ca. 1780–1900)\, pp. 5-40\nSilvia Armando\nhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/26787018\n \n \nVISIGOTHS\, CROWNS\, CROSSES\, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF SPAIN\, pp. 41-64\nFrancisco J.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Vincent Brown\, "Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War"
DESCRIPTION:Warfare migrates. This has never been more apparent than in the era when the violence of imperial expansion and enslavement transformed Europe\, Africa\, and the Americas\, as they interacted across the Atlantic Ocean. European imperial conflicts extended the dominion of capitalist agriculture. African battles fed captives to the transatlantic trade in slaves. Masters and their human property struggled with one another continuously. These clashes amounted to a borderless slave war: war to enslave\, war to expand slavery\, and war against slaves\, precipitating wars waged by the enslaved against slaveholders. In this sense\, Dr. Vincent Brown argues\, Tacky’s revolt was but a war within other wars\, which had diverging and overlapping provocations\, combat zones\, political alliances\, and enemy combatants. \nJoin this Zoom event at tinyurl.com/isrrarTalk \nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Spring Quarter series.

SUMMARY:History Associates: Patrick McCray\, "Making Art Work: Artists and Engineers in the Age of Apollo"
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Associates this Sunday for an engaging presentation from UCSB History Professor Patrick McCray. \nArtwork as opposed to experiment? Engineer versus artist? We often see two different cultural realms separated by impervious walls. But some fifty years ago\, the borders between technology and art began to be breached. In this talk UCSB history professor (and former engineer) W. Patrick McCray shows how in this era\, artists eagerly collaborated with engineers and scientists to explore new technologies and create visually and sonically compelling multimedia works. Today\, we are in the midst of a new surge of corporate and academic promotion of projects and programs combining art\, technology\, and science. Making Art Work reveals how artists and technologists have continually constructed new communities in which they exercise imagination\, display creative expertise\, and pursue commercial innovation. \nZoom link: ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149
