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: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:International Webinar on Global Capitalism\, Colonial Politics and Publicity: The Past and Present of Tea in South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an interdisciplinary webinar on the past and present of tea in South Asia. The history of tea is both fascinating yet one fraught with tensions inherent in the history of global capitalism. The attraction of a cup of tea seeped only gradually into the lives of the common people and involved much effort and investment on the part of various Tea Associations\, companies and committees. Colonial politics\, we contend\, was always at the center of the South Asian tea industry\, its propaganda\, publicity\, and labor struggles. This webinar brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines and contemporary activists in order to address how tea was and is commodified and how South Asians were constructed as consumers and workers.  \nRegistration Link: https://forms.gle/wqVHkFdk1xzqmKDn7\nYouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTx895TOvpL_DxjEmPKAc5Q
