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.
