SUMMARY:FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History Keynote Lecture with Prof. Herman Bennett: "Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic"
DESCRIPTION:The History Department’s Colloquium Committee warmly invites you to attend the keynote lecture of our FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History series. The lecture\, “Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic\,” will be delivered by Prof. Herman L. Bennett. \nHerman L. Bennett is Professor at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. A scholar of Latin American history and the African Diaspora\, Prof. Bennett’s previous books include Africans in Colonial Mexico: Absolutism\, Christianity\, and Afro-Creole Consciousness (2003)\, Colonial Blackness: A History of Afro-Mexico (2009)\, and the forthcoming The African Diaspora: A Very Short Introduction. His notable essays include “The Subject in the Plot: National Boundaries and the ‘History’ of the Black Atlantic\,” in African Studies Review (2000) and “Writing into a Void: Slavery\, History\, and Representing Blackness in Latin America” in Social Text (2007). He has been the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for Humanities\, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University\, and the American Council of Learned Societies. The American Historical Association recognized his mentorship of racially and ethnically underrepresented students in the historical discipline through the AHA Equity Award in 2012. Prof. Bennett has served on the editorial boards of the Hispanic American Historical Review\, Social Text\, The Americas\, the Blacks in the Diaspora series at Indiana University Press\, and the American Historical Review. \nProf. Bennett’s most recent book\, African Kings and Black Slaves: Sovereignty and Dispossession in the Early Modern Atlantic (2018) invites our attention to politics of sovereignty\, enslavement\, and power in the earliest Iberian and African interactions as a point of inquiry to critically rethink the ways in which liberalism has subsequently shaped analyses of culture\, economy\, and history. \nThe inaugural FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History series is inspired by the UCSB History Department’s Statement on the George Floyd Uprising and its invocation to understand and interrogate our racialized past and the investments of disciplinary history within it. Following three webinars led by History Department faculty and graduate students on topics like sovereignty\, the political\, liberation\, racial capitalism\, liberalism\, and empire\, from their own scholarly angles of vision\, the keynote lecture brings the series to a close and invites more conversations to be continued in the future. \nThe keynote lecture will use the Zoom webinar format. Prior registration is required. \nDate: Friday 21 May\, 2021 \nTime: 1:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) \nKeynote Lecture: “Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic” \nZoom registration: Please register in advance for this webinar using the link below: \nhttps://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RbHCtjyoS8S-l6vbTiFEzw

SUMMARY:Ambition on the Road: Getting Ahead in Arabic Travel Writing
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, Feb 2\, 2026 | 04:00 PM\n\nLocation\n\nHSSB 4080 \n\n\n\nA Syrian merchant known as the ʿAṭṭār set out on a new road in 1765. When he began to write about his journey\, he did so with specific aim and purpose: success\, prestige\, and merit. A few years earlier\, in 1758\, a Maronite Christian by the name of Shukrallāh had put together a literary compendium. The inclusion of a travel-based topography arguably sought to promote an embattled community’s position vis-a-vis the sacred landscapes of the homeland. In both cases\, as in many others\, making literature was an aspirational act with tangible goals. The talk by Björn Bentlage will investigate the ambitious side of culture with a focus on Arabic narrations of travel and movement from the early modern period onwards. \nBjörn Bentlage is a lecturer and researcher of Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies at the universities of Bern (Switzerland) and Munich (Germany). His interests range from contemporary legal debates over the connected history of the modern Middle East to literature and media since the Ottoman period. \n\n \n\n  \nFeb. 2 CMES Flyer
