With its proximity to fertile land and the sea\, Burgaz is generally considered to be the early settlement of the Knidians\, long famed for their nude cult statue of the goddess Aphrodite. While settlement at “New Knidos” on the tip of the peninsula flourishes from the late fourth century BCE\, earlier remains at the site are scarce. Seeking information about the earlier settlement’s economic success and subsequent demise\, our project undertakes comprehensive survey and excavation in the four harbors of Burgaz in tandem with a broader project of underwater cultural heritage advocacy in Turkey and beyond.\nThe project investigates the question of “wandering cities” or “portable ports” in antiquity\, collecting archaeological evidence for the curious phenomenon of settlements which—through catastrophe or gradual environmental or economic decline—shift their population core from one locale to another. By combining excavation with surface survey and geophysical prospection both on land and underwater\, we seek answers about the long-term development of the town\, its military and commercial ports\, and its integration within a broader maritime cultural and economic landscape. Through analysis of architectural structures and cultural artifacts we ask why the early city of the Knidians flourished and how it adapted to changing patterns of regional and international connectivity in the Mediterranean world. \nElizabeth S. Greene is Associate Professor of Greek Art and Archaeology at Brock University (St. Catharines\, Ontario\, Canada). \nSponsored by the UCSB Ancient Mediterranean Studies Program\, Borderlands Research Focus Group\, and Archaeology Research Focus Group. \njwil 28.iii.2014 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/shifting-centers-of-maritime-activity-in-the-eastern-mediterranean-a-view-from-burgaz-or-old-knidos/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20140418T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20140418T000000 DTSTAMP:20260418T202956 CREATED:20150928T112856Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112856Z UID:10002232-1397779200-1397779200@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Paul Starr on "America's Peculiar Struggle over Health Care\, Then and Now."

The riveting story of two Polish brothers who try to come to terms with their village’s long hidden role in the Holocaust\, Aftermath offers “a highly unsettling look at lingering prejudice and collective guilt” (New York Daily News). “A bombshell disguised as a thriller” (Los Angeles Times Film Critic Kenneth Turan)\, the film brilliantly “succeeds in bringing the past into the present” (J. Hoberman\, The New York Times). This free\, public event will serve to commemorate Yom HaShoah and to inaugurate Holocaust Remembrance Week at UCSB. \nFranek and Jozek Kalina\, sons of a poor farmer\, are brothers from a small village in central Poland. Franek immigrated to the United States in the 80s and cut all ties with his family. Only when Jozek’s wife arrives in the US\, without explanation\, does Franek finally return to his homeland. Franek discovers that Jozek has been ostracized from the community and constantly receives threats. As Franek and Jozek struggle to rebuild their relationship\, they are drawn into a gothic tale of intrigue. The two brothers eventually uncover a dark secret that forces them to confront the history of their family and their village. \nUpon its release in Poland\, Aftermath reignited the intense controversy that surrounded the publication\, in 2000\, of Neighbors by historian Jan T. Gross\, a searing account of the covered-up slaughter in Jedwabne\, a once half-Jewish village in northeastern Poland where hundreds of Jews\, including children\, were murdered in a savage pogrom in 1941. Polish nationals accused the film of being anti-Polish propaganda\, as well as a distortion of a sensitive piece of Polish history\, leading the film to be banned in some Polish cinemas. \nThe Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, a program of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, is cosponsored by UCSB Arts and Lectures\, Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel. \nhm 12/7/13; 4/15/14 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/aftermath/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
