SUMMARY:History Associates: "Prioritizing the Preservation of Black Legacies in Santa Barbara"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will walk through Santa Barbara’s recently completed African American Historic Context Statement on how the built history of a community plays a role in helping uplift African-American and Black people today. This is a unique collaboration of social justice leaders and historic preservation specialists in Santa Barbara who worked to compile Santa Barbara’s Black history—one overlooked for decades. The historic context statement examines the history of Santa Barbara’s African-American and Black community through historic buildings. It identifies buildings and sites important to the community that can now be designated and protected as historic resources. The lecture will highlight the many contributions of people of African American and Black people in Santa Barbara\, beginning in the Spanish and Mexican periods through the postwar fight for civil rights. Co-presented by Sojourner Kincaid Rolle of Healing Justice SB and Nicole Hernandez\, Architectural Historian for the City of Santa Barbara. \nSpeakers: Sojourner Kincaid Rolle and Nicole Hernandez \nPlease see the enclosed flyer for more information. \nFree and open to the public. Space is limited. Please RSVP to: historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu by Monday Oct 17 \n

SUMMARY:History Associates Talk | States of Dis/armament  | Mhoze Chikowero
DESCRIPTION:States of Dis/armament: Reading Statemaking in Africa’s Recent History \nWhen: WEDNESDAY\, NOV 9\, 2022 at 4:00 PM \nWhere: Miller McCune Conference Room\, HSSB\, UC Santa Barbara \nFree and open to the public. Please RSVP to historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu \nHistory Associates Members can request a complimentary parking permit for this event! \nWhat is a state? What is statemaking? What is disarmament–and rearmament? A scholar of African self-liberation\, Mhoze Chikowero centers these questions in his research and teaching on Africa’s recent histories\, be it the history of European colonization\, African wars to expunge that colonization\, the cultures and psychologies that those encounters produced\, or the technologies of the same.  \nIn this talk\, Chikowero reads the cultural archive—written and oral—to argue that colonialism is a system of cultural disarmament and sonic reengineering that left lasting legacies on African states of being. This theorization lays the groundwork for his expansive\, transregional research on African liberation wars. \nMhoze Chikowero is an Associate Professor of African History at the UC Santa Barbara. He got his Honors degree in Economic History at the University of Zimbabwe (2001)\, and his Masters and Ph.D. at Dalhousie University in Canada (2008) as a Killam Scholar. He is a past American Council of Learned Societies Charles Ryskamp Fellow (2014-17)\, a past UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center Fellow\, Hellman Faculty Fellow\, and a current Research Fellow at Leiden University\, Netherlands. \nUCSB History Associates brings together campus and community around our shared passion for History. \nBecome a member today! bit.ly/ucsbhistoryassociates

SUMMARY:Talk by Professor Emerita\, Sharon Farmer | Fowl Play: France and beyond\, 1979…
DESCRIPTION:The History Department will host  SHARON FARMER\, Professor Emerita (UCSB)\,  who will present a talk\, entitled “Fowl Play: France and beyond\, 1979…”  \nWhen: 12:00 PM\, Thursday\, January 12th. \nWhere: HSSB 4020.  \nThe chapter from which Farmer will be reading deals with the time she spent in France in 1979-80\, when she first began the research for her doctoral dissertation in medieval history. Like M.F. K. Fischer\, Farmer describes an era that is now separated from us by historical rupture: in  Fischer’s case\, the rupture was caused by a world war; in Farmer’s\, it was caused by the invention of the internet\, which has profoundly altered the experience of living and traveling in another country.  Like Marcel Proust\,  Farmer uses the five senses to convey the intensity of certain memories and the non-linear ways in which those memories unfold for us.  The chapter also attempts to answer a simple question: how is it that the 27-year old woman who found herself incapable of purchasing a live chicken (which would have been butchered for her on the spot) in Tours\, France\, in 1979\, became the woman who raised and then slaughtered and ate twelve quail in Holyoke\, Massachusetts in 2020?  She also calls into question\, in light of her own growing interests in migrant rights and post-colonial perspectives\, the France that she invented for herself in 1979.

SUMMARY:History and Political Economy Colloquium  | "Business of pleasure" | Julie Johnson and Erika Rappaport
DESCRIPTION:HISTORY AND POLITICAL ECONOMY COLLOQUIUM\nJulie Johnson and Erika Rappaport: \n“The business of pleasure”\n\nThe colloquium offers a forum for open\, substantive discussions on how to approach political economy from a historical perspective; how to grapple with and benefit from the epistemological diversity surrounding political economy; and how a historical take on political economy can help contextualize and address urgent contemporary issues. For that purpose\, we will center our own research and put our work into conversation across geographical\, chronological\, and field boundaries.\n \nAt our second meeting\, participants will engage with the work of Professor Erika Rappaport and Julie Johnson\, and discuss the “business of pleasure”.\n \nTo obtain copies of the pre-circulated materials\, please write to mcovo@history.ucsb.edu.\n \nErika Rappaport is a European cultural historian\, interested in the history of gender and consumer cultures in Modern Britain and its Empire. She studies how the history of consumption and commodities were integral to the construction of identities\, politics\, and economies in the 19th and 20th centuries. She is the author of Shopping for Pleasure: Women in the Making of London’s West End (Princeton\, 2000) and the award-winning A Thirst for Empire: How Tea Shaped the Modern World (Princeton\, 2017).\n \nJulie Johnson is a doctoral candidate in UCSB’s History program. Her research examines the “social life” of the cervical cap contraceptive as a commodity\, tracing its circulation throughout Britain and its empire from 1918-1939. Her work blurs the boundaries of medicine and commerce\, complicates conceptions of “female entrepreneurship\,” and interrogates nationalistic constructions of reproductive “fitness” in the early twentieth century.

SUMMARY:Anthologizing the City of Isfahan: Family Archives and Urban Knowledge\, lecture by Professor Kathryn Babayan
DESCRIPTION:Seventeenth century Isfahan witnessed a craze in the composition of a new kind of book\, the majmuʿa\, or anthology. Curated and written in the domestic sphere of the household\, anthologies archive city-writings once in circulation; they illustrate the practices of urban knowledge and their valorization by communities who took possession of them. The imaginations that anthologizing generated\, and the choices behind the gathering\, excerpting\, recording\, and ordering of texts bound in a manuscript\, represent different techniques of interpreting the city: they reveal a place where\, among other things\, the refined self was crafted on paper and performed in public.Anthologizing the City of Isfahan Family Archives and Urban Knowledge (1)

DESCRIPTION:In recent scholarship\, family archives in the form of a manuscript have been posited as sites for more broadly rethinking archives in the pre-modern Islamicate world.In the context of Isfahan\, household anthologies provide a particularly rich ground for theorizing and reassessing pre-modern archival mechanisms and spaces. The anthology referred to in Persian as the majmuʿa (from the Arabic root j.m.ʿ)\, literally “gathered together\,” was a codex which assembled professional and urban texts. Generated and then collected and assembled in the interior spaces Archival Practices Beyond the State Microhistories of Households in early modern Isfahan (2)of the house\, such anthologies were also objects fashioned with the precise purpose of traversing the spaces between households—as letters\, paintings\, and gifts\, bringing the city and its many forms of urbane dialogue into focus. \n  \nMultiple practices of collecting\, copying\, and authoring anthologies are preserved in the thousands of majmu’a produced in seventeenth century Isfahan. We will focus on two family archives\, microhistories of two households\, one religious (Khwansari) and the other bureaucratic (Urdubadi). Although Safavi “state” archives have not survived the trials of time\, these archives provide us important clues as to what knowledge circulated in the city and what would have been included in notarial and imperial archives. \n  \n

SUMMARY:History Associates Talk | "Plant Life and Imperialism" | Utathya Chattopadhyaya
DESCRIPTION: \nPlant Life and Imperialism: Histories of Cannabis in British India\n \nAre histories of social structures\, imperial systems\, and the subjecthood of peoples not also histories of plant life? Taking one plant genus\, that modern botany labels cannabis\, this talk explores how and why we should embrace the contiguity between human and nonhuman life as a basic condition for narrating history itself. In British India\, across the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries\, different forms of cannabis substances animated the history of working classes\, gender\, race\, rural communities\, and state formation in heterogeneous ways that also echoed the complex biochemistry and psychoactive variability of cannabis intoxicants. To understand the unfolding of modern British imperialism\, the ways in which cannabis straddled its statuses as plant\, commodity\, substance\, form\, and matter can be crucial as it sheds important light on histories that have so far either remained out of focus or simply segregated from one another because of how colonial administrations produced categories to govern colonized spaces. This talk will introduce such histories and why and how they matter before suggesting what they contribute to the ongoing efforts of scholars to attend to the ways in which the supposed boundaries between humans\, other species\, and their environments have in fact remained thoroughly porous and vulnerable. \nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor in the UCSB History Department. \nClick here for the poster

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof. John W.I. Lee (UCSB History) on "Women in Ancient Persia" at the Goleta Valley Library
DESCRIPTION:Western stereotypes of Ancient Persia often focus on images of exotic harems\, scheming queens\, and decadent court life. Prof. Lee explains what the ancient textual and archaeological sources actually reveal about women’s lives in the empire of Achaemenid Persia (550-330 BC).  The lecture examines the economic\, political\, and social power of women across the Achaemenid Empire\, from the Aegean Sea region in the west to the highlands of Iran in the east. \nJohn W.I. Lee is Professor of History at UC Santa Barbara.  He grew up in Asia and Hawai’i\, studied history at the University of Washington (Seattle)\, and received his PhD in History from Cornell University.  His publications include A Greek Army on the March: Soldiers and Survival in Xenophon’s Anabasis (Cambridge University Press 2007)\, The Persian Empire (The Great Courses 2012)\, and The First Black Archaeologist: A Life of John Wesley Gilbert (Oxford University Press 2022).  He is a member of the Managing Committee of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

SUMMARY:Prof. Adrienne Edgar\, "Intermarriage and the Friendship of Peoples: Ethnic Mixing in Soviet Central Asia"
DESCRIPTION:Adrienne Edgar‘s new monograph\, Intermarriage and the Friendship of Peoples\, is the first book to examine ethnic and racial mixing in the Soviet Union. In marked contrast to its Cold War rivals\, the Soviet Union celebrated mixed marriages among its diverse ethnic groups as a sign of the unbreakable friendship of peoples and the imminent emergence of a supra-ethnic “Soviet people.” Yet the official view of ethnic nationality became increasingly primordial and even racialized in the final Soviet decades. In this context\, mixed families and individuals found it impossible to transcend ethnicity\, fully embrace their complex identities\, and become simply “Soviet.”  \nThis event is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History. Delicious refreshments will be served!

SUMMARY:Reputation and Habitual Misbehavior on a 'Spicy Little Isle Where Ladies were Few' (Paper Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our second Gender + Sexualities Paper Workshop of the Winter Quarter on Thursday\, 16 February\, at 2 PM.  \nWe will meet in HSSB 4041 to discuss Kristen Thomas-McGill’s paper\, “Reputation and Habitual Misbehavior on a ‘Spicy Little Isle Where Ladies were Few.’” \nYou can find a copy of Kristen’s paper here. Please read the paper in advance and be prepared to share your observations and insights with the group. All are welcome. \nABSTRACT: In 1903\, the Governor of Ceylon learned that a 16-year-old British boy had accused Hector Macdonald\, the colony’s highest-ranking military official\, of sexual abuse. As further allegations of Macdonald’s “habitual crime of misbehavior” arose\, imperial officials in the metropole and the colonies wrestled with how to address the growing scandal. At stake was not only Macdonald’s reputation but also that of British governance across the globe. In this paper\, I consider the ways in which the archive has variously replicated or resisted the reputational politics that guided the government’s response 120 years ago and argue that these archival practices have fostered widespread misunderstanding of the Macdonald scandal among historians and the public.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Patrick Hunt (Stanford University) on "Hannibal's Secret Weapon" in HSSB Room 6020
DESCRIPTION:Hannibal’s success as a military commander in the Second Punic War (218-202 BCE) – surprising and severely defeating Rome after crossing the Alps at the Trebbia\, Trasimene and Cannae battles and trickery against Fabius Maximus and others – is usually not focused on his brilliant weaponization of nature and his important use of Iberian silver to secure excellent military intelligence and pay his allied mercenaries as well as his schooling of Rome to reinvent its military. When Scipio – Hannibal’s best pupil – took New Carthage (Cartago Nova or Cartagena) in 209 BCE\, he effectively cut off Hannibal’s access to further Iberian silver and Hannibal’s successes dried up\, which is no coincidence. Scipio learned well from Hannibal’s craftiness\, as documented in Polybius and Frontinus’ Strategemata\, by turning the tables on Hannibal at Zama in 202 BCE. As a result of Hannibal’s genius\, every strategist since Hannibal\, including Machiavelli and military commanders up to the present\, emulates Hannibal’s program for adding nature to his arsenal and his use of military intelligence and topography\, which is why Hannibal’s tactics are still taught as relevant spycraft. The irony that Hannibal never aimed to destroy Carthage but only to preserve Carthage is all the more tragic in that Rome sought to and succeeded in destroying Carthage’s empire and impose their own empire and remake the Mediterranean as “Mare Nostrum.” \nPatrick Hunt is with the Center for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Stanford University\, the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at UCLA\, the School of Cultural Diplomacy in London\, the Fromm Institute in San Francisco\, and the Institute for EthnoMedicine.  He holds his Ph.D. from the Institute of Archaeology\, University of London\, and has also studied at the University of California at Berkeley\, and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens.  His research interests are Alpine archaeology\, archaeological science\, archaeometry\, geoarchaeology\, forensic archaeology\, Roman archaeology\, Celtic archaeology\, and Hannibal studies.  His main publications include Alpine Archaeology (2007)\, and Ten Discoveries That Rewrote History (2007)\, as well as numerous articles and encyclopedia entries\, and his most recent book is Hannibal. Prof. Hunt is one of the AIA’s 2022/2023 Norton Lecturers. \nFor additional information or for assistance in accommodating a disability\, please contact Prof. John Lee in the UC Santa Barbara History Department.

SUMMARY:IHC RFG Talk | Lee Vinsel | US Policymaking and the Promises of Technology in the 1990S’ “New Economy”
DESCRIPTION:On April 5th\, 2000\, President William Clinton stepped to the microphone at the White House Conference on the New Economy and told those gathered that the United States was experiencing “an economic transformation as profound as that that led us into the industrial revolution.” The 1990s was a heady moment for chatter about technological change\, especially around personal computers and the Internet. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates predicted Business @ the Speed of Thought\, as one of his book titles put it\, and Wired writer Kevin Kelly argued that the Internet would lead to the dematerialization of the economy. This “irrational exuberance” would eventually end in the dot com bust\, but not before members of the Clinton administration used projections around “the New Economy” to justify a number of decisions that would have far-reaching ramifications\, including policies around telecommunications\, labor and trade\, education and training\, student loans\, and economic\, racial\, and gender inequality. \nIn this talk\, Lee Vinsel will build on recent work on the history of the Clinton White House and political economy\, including Margaret O’Mara’s The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America and Nelson Lichtenstein and Judith Stein’s forthcoming\, A Fabulous Failure: The Clinton Presidency and the Transformation of American Capitalism. Vinsel will ask what can be gained for this literature by focusing on technology\, both the actual material change taking place in the 1990s and\, perhaps most importantly\, the ideas and fantasies surrounding the concept “technology\,” which greatly outpaced reality. \nLee Vinsel is Associate Professor of Science\, Technology and Society at Virginia Tech. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group
