Were it not for its perfect provenance\, it might have been dismissed as a fake. But it wasn’t: it was simply drawn according to a completely different cartographic logic — a maritime logic — that was lost as soon as it surfaced.\nProf. Brook (History Department\, University of British Columbia-Vancouver) is a distinguished historian of Ming & Qing Dynasties in China\, and has taught at Oxford\, Toronto\, and Stanford. He is the author of an impressive array of works\, including Praying for Power: Buddhism and the Formation of Gentry Society in Late-Ming China\, The Confusions of Pleasure: Commerce and Culture in Ming China\, Vermeer’s Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World and Death by a Thousand Cuts. \nSponsored by the UCSB East Asia Center. \njwil 07.i.2013 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/sailing-from-ming-china/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130110T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130110T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T015945 CREATED:20150928T112844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112844Z UID:10002115-1357776000-1357776000@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Who Freed the Slaves? DESCRIPTION:On January 1\, 1863\, the Emancipation Proclamation became law. Conceived as a pragmatic measure to hasten the end of a bloody civil war\, the Proclamation declared millions of slaves to be “forever free.” Americans naturally identify this momentous event with Abraham Lincoln\, who became widely known as “The Great Emancipator.” While Lincoln undoubtedly played a key role in ending slavery\, were political figures alone responsible for this momentous event? Historians have come to see emancipation as the result of a broader social movement which worked tirelessly to force Americans to confront the moral and economic consequences of slavery. The slaves themselves were a key part of this movement. By fleeing to Union lines\, serving as Union soldiers\, and insisting on full equality\, they set the stage for their own liberation.\nThis talk is based on an exhibit at the Special Collections Department at Davidson Library. The exhibit is based on documents and artifacts from UCSB’s Wyles Collection—a treasure trove of original nineteenth-century materials about Lincoln\, the Civil War\, and the American West. \nJohn Majewski is Professor of History at UCSB\, and Associate Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts. \nFor questions\, or if you need special arrangements to accommodate a disability\, please call the UCSB Office of Public Events at 893-2877. \njwil 09.i.2013 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/who-freed-the-slaves/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130112T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130112T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T015945 CREATED:20150928T112844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112844Z UID:10002111-1357948800-1357948800@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? DESCRIPTION:In his new book\, The World Until Yesterday\, Jared Diamond\, the Pulitzer Prize-winning and mega-best-selling author of Guns\, Germs\, and Steel and Collapse\, takes us on a mesmerizing journey into our rapidly vanishing past. Drawing on his fieldwork in New Guinea as well as evidence from Inuit\, Amazonian and other cultures\, Diamond explores how traditional peoples approach universal problems – from child rearing and elder care to dispute resolution – and discovers that we have much to learn from these cultures.\nBooks will be available for purchase and signing. \nhm 1/4/13 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/the-world-until-yesterday-what-can-we-learn-from-traditional-societies/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130117T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130117T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T015945 CREATED:20150928T112843Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112843Z UID:10002107-1358380800-1358380800@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Corinth: Portrait of an Idiosyncratic Greek City DESCRIPTION:Ancient Corinth was the first\, major long-term excavation undertaken in Greece by the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. Begun in 1896\, these investigations have continued with few interruptions until today. A commercial powerhouse\, Corinth has been overshadowed by Athens\, about which a great deal more is known in the ancient sources. A review of some of the more interesting and unusual Corinthian monuments\, beginning in the 9th century B.C. and ending with Corinth’s destruction by the Roman general\, Lucius Mummius\, in 146 B.C.\, will reveal to us a city\, ruled by an oligarchy\, that was rich and innovative. In addition\, evidence of Corinth’s commercial activities provides an interesting insight into certain aspects of ancient trade.\nDr. Nancy Bookidis is Assistant Director Emerita of the Corinth Excavations\, part of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA). \nSponsored by the UCSB Ancient Mediterranean Studies Program and the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group. \njwil 25.xi.2012 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/corinth-portrait-of-an-idiosyncratic-greek-city/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130118T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130118T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T015945 CREATED:20150928T112844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112844Z UID:10002116-1358467200-1358467200@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:"Freedom Under God": Corporations and Christian Libertarianism against the New Deal DESCRIPTION:Kruse is the author of the prize-winning White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism (2006) and the editor\, most recently\, of The Second World War and the Civil Rights Movement (2012).

A moment of crisis in her life is analyzed by discussing the contexts of the federal “civilizing” program\, female domesticity\, and Christian missions in Ojibwe country\, all of which significantly influenced notions of identity about and among Indians in the region in the 19thcentury. Through examining discourse surrounding Susan’s marriage engagement in 1880\, she illustrates how hierarchies of “civilized” and “race” awkwardly intersected as they produced tensions in conceptions of her identity. She gives particular attention to gendered aspects of colonialism in her examination of how missionaries sought to restructure Ojibwe communities by looking at the ways in which Ojibwe women both adapted and subverted forms of patriarchy\, individualism\, capitalism\, and domesticity that were imposed in Native communities.\nThe History Department is hosting Dr. Mattie Harper\, a Berkeley PhD and current UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow\, who is a candidate for a position in our department. \nhm 1/14/13 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/civilizing-the-pillagers-identity-race-and-domesticity-in-ojibwe-country-1830-1890/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130131T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130131T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T015945 CREATED:20150928T112844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112844Z UID:10002113-1359590400-1359590400@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE: Theater of War DESCRIPTION:Theater of War is an innovative project that presents professional actors reading scenes from ancient Greek drama about soldiers returning from war. Following the reading\, a panel of veterans and community members will offer their personal responses to the play in order to initiate an audience discussion about the psychological\, physical\, emotional and social challenges facing veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.\nSponsored by the Walter H.
