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:Mia Dragnic and Pierina Ferretti: "An Expansive Rebellion: Feminism and Social Revolt in Chile"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB and UCSD have joined together to welcome Pierina Ferretti and Mia Dragnic García\, sociologists and doctoral candidates in Latin American Studies at the University of Chile. \nIn October 2019\, Chile experienced its largest social revolt since the return to democracy in 1990. The mobilization\, which began as a spontaneous reaction to protest against a 0.30 USD rise in the Santiago transport fare\, soon after became a widespread outburst against the precarious and unjust conditions that affect the majority of the population after almost fifty years of life under a neoliberal regime. Throughout Chile\, high school and university students\, young precarious professionals\, residents of peripheral neighborhoods\, sectors of a fragile and unstable “middle class”\, soccer hooligans (a symbol of popular and stigmatized youth)\, qualified salaried workers and unqualified\, retirees and older adults\, office workers\, and app workers\, among others\, joined together in mass demonstrations. \nAs an immediate antecedent to this revolt in Chile\, there had been a recent emergence of a new wave of the feminist movement that has since caused a general awareness of sexist violence\, sexual abuse\, and the need for an abortion law\, issues that today they occupy the center of social debate. One can see the underground work that Chilean feminism has carried out for many years and that has gained symbolic capital – this is key to understanding how it has moved from private malaise to collective revolt today. Feminism has acted in Chile as an expansive rebellion\, starting with women and sexual dissidents and has advanced towards the politicization of broad social sectors\, preparing the conditions for mass revolt. \nZoom link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/89256077958?pwd=Mlp2MWFNVENGRTNmZXFIb2k0WE5rZz09 \nPassword: chile \n\nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series. This speaker series welcomes feminist militants from Latin America to share their perspectives and experiences on building popular power towards a mass feminist movement. Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent.

SUMMARY:LAIS Tertulia | "Race and Caste in Latin America\, India\, and the USA: A Global Conversation"
DESCRIPTION:Latin American and Iberian Studies invites you to a Tertulia in the Time of COVID\, 2020-2021! Two History Department faculty members will speak at this exciting event. \nIn her widely acclaimed book Caste: The Origins of our Discontents\, Isabel Wilkerson complicates the category of race\, as it is commonly understood in the US\, by bringing caste to the fore. She discusses the “caste” historical experience of the US in light of those in Nazi Germany and India. Insofar as the term “caste” was first introduced in India by the Portuguese at a time when the Spanish and Portuguese empires had a global colonial reach\, Wilkerson’s book provides a perfect pretext for the Program in Latin American and Iberian Studies (LAIS) to launch a global conversation. In this roundtable\, UCSB faculty from Black Studies\, History\, and LAIS specialized in the US\, India\, and Latin America discuss their take on caste\, race\, and Isabel Wilkerson. \nSpeakers (UC Santa Barbara)\nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He specializes in the history of modern South Asia\, British imperialism\, and agrarian commodities in global markets. His essays have appeared in A Cultural History of Western Empires\, the South African Historical Journal\, Historical Reflections\, English Language Notes\, and the edited volume Animalia: An Anti-Imperial Bestiary for our Times. He is currently working on a monograph on cannabis and empire in British India. \nCecilia Méndez is a Peruvian historian specialized in the social and political history of the Andean region. She is the director of the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara and an Associated Professor in History. Her work calls the attention on the importance of late eighteenth-century\, and nineteenth-century political developments in shaping modern conceptions nationhood\, citizenship\, and “race.” \nTerrance Wooten is an Assistant Professor in Black Studies. He is currently working on his first book manuscript\, “Lurking in the Shadows of Home: Homelessness\, Carcerality\, and the Figure of the Sex Offender\,” which examines how those who have been designated “sex offenders” and are homeless in the Maryland/DC area are managed and regulated through social policies\, sex offender registries\, and urban and architectural design. His scholarly interests are located at the intersections of Black studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, studies of poverty and homelessness\, and carceral studies. \nJoin the Zoom meeting here: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84061612112.

SUMMARY:Lucía Cavallero: "Gendered Violence and Financialization of Social Reproduction: A Feminist Perspective On Debt"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB and UCSD have joined together to welcome Lucía Cavallero\, a doctoral candidate in Social Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires. \nThe presentation will focus on the relationship between sexist violence and economic violence\, specifically the financialization of life and the increase in gender-based violence. It will highlight the Latin American feminist movement’s struggles against debt as articulated in the tactic of the March 8 International Women’s Day Strike and in Argentina’s Ni Una Menos (Not One Less) movement. \nSee Lucía’s articles “Debt and the Violence of Property” (Verso 2020) and “A feminist perspective on the battle over property” (Feminist Review 2020)\, both co-authored with Verónica Gago. \nZoom link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZElduGopjorEtfsRKUqNx8CcKzu8_VhM43a \nPassword: argentina \n\nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series.

SUMMARY:Mónica Michelena: "We Are Charrúa Women: From Negation to Re-Existence in Our Body-Territory"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB and UCSD have joined together to welcome Mónica Michelena\, Secretary of the Charrúa Nation’s Council and former Advisor on Indigenous Affairs for Uruguay’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2014-18). \nCharrúa women have gone through dispossession\, exclusion\, and negation that left marks on their collective memory and body-territory. This genocidal process did not end in 19th-century Uruguay\, but continues today and manifests itself every time that institutions or civil society denies their existence as an indigenous people. For fifteen years\, together with Charrúa sisters from Argentina\, Charrúa women from Uruguay have been working to demolish hegemonic narratives of the market and state. As subjects of legal right\, they are reconfiguring their existence and re-existence in their great ancestral-territory-body. This collective search has led Michelena to academic spaces. \nIn 2011\, Michelena began an investigation with rural Charrúa women in Uruguay’s interior to question the nation-state’s devices of invisibility and to expose counter-memories as part of an attempt to disarm the social and symbolic representation of their extinction. Through a methodological approach based on collaborative ethnography\, Michelena’s research aims to rearm the great quillapí of memory. The metaphor of quillapí – a leather cape made from patchwork – implies that each woman is the bearer of a small piece of memory and\, among all\, they are sewing together its scraps. Down this path\, Charrúa women began to slowly gain recognition from the Uruguayan feminist movement\, in a slow process of internal decolonization. \nZoom link: https://ucsd.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcscu2urjkpEtMCu4cVNRoiyQe_J-RtAr1Y \nPassword: uruguay \n\nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series.

SUMMARY:Juan Cobo Betancourt\, "The Coming of the Kingdom: The Muisca\, Catholic Reform\, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada
DESCRIPTION:Book Presentation: “The Coming of the Kingdom: The Muisca\, Catholic Reform\, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada” \nJuan Cobo Betancourt UC Santa Barbara | Associate Professor of History  \nCommentator: Yanna Yannakakis Emory University | Professor of History \nThe Coming of the Kingdom explores the experiences of the Indigenous Muisca peoples of the New Kingdom of Granada (Colombia) during the first century of Spanish colonial rule. Focusing on colonialism\, religious reform\, law\, language\, and historical writing\, Juan F. Cobo Betancourt examines the introduction and development of Christianity among the Muisca\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the center of the invaders’ efforts to transform them into tribute-paying Catholic subjects of the Spanish crown. The book explores how successive generations of missionaries and administrators approached the task of drawing the Muisca peoples to Catholicism at a time when it was undergoing profound changes\, and how successive generations of the Muisca interacted with the practices and ideas that the invaders attempted to impose\, variously rejecting or adopting them\, transforming and translating them\, and ultimately making them their own.

Canon Perdido Street\, located in El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park \nFree and open to the public. RSVP to historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu \nHow does colonialism work without a strong colonial state? How does religious conversion work without an effective missionary project? How can historians work with an archive full of fictions? Taking the history of the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes of what is now Colombia\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the centre of efforts by Europeans to transform them into Catholic\, tribute-paying vassals of the Spanish crown\, this talk explores the complex and contradictory ways in which Christianity\, Spanish colonialism\, and Indigenous politics came together to produce a new kind of society to the disappointment of everyone involved. \nJuan Cobo Betancourt is Associate Professor of History and Director\nof the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program and\nCenter for Latin American and Iberian Research at UC Santa\nBarbara. He has written three books on questions of religion\,\nrace\, law\, and language in colonial Latin America.

SUMMARY:Talk by Mateo Jarquin\, "Managaua 1979\," Monday\, April 20\, 4 pm\, HSSB 4041
DESCRIPTION:Professor Mateo Jarquin of Chapman University will be giving a talk titled “Managua 1979: International and Transnational Origins of the Cold War’s Last Great Revolution.”  \n \n\nAfter the Cuban Revolution\, armed movements across Latin America embraced violent struggle as a path to social transformation. Yet only one managed to seize power: Nicaragua’s Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN). Their unlikely victory in July 1979 gripped the world’s attention and ignited a major hotspot in the late Cold War. \nHow did it happen? Drawing from his book The Sandinista Revolution: A Global Latin American History\, Mateo Jarquín recounts the fall of the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza. The story unfolds not only inside Nicaragua and in Washington but across Latin America\, where the rebel FSLN was embedded in a regional web of state and non‑state actors conspiring to isolate Somoza\, challenge U.S. influence\, and ultimately bring about the last major left‑wing revolution of the 20th century. \nMateo Jarquín is Assistant Professor of History and Director of the Master’s Program in War\, Diplomacy\, and Society at Chapman University. His research explores the intersection of democracy\, revolutions\, and international relations in modern Latin America. He is the author of The Sandinista Revolution: A Global Latin American History (University of North Carolina Press\, 2024)\, which received the 2025 Michael H. Hunt Prize in International History from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. Articles from this research agenda have appeared in journals such as Cold War History and The Americas: A Quarterly Review of Latin American History. Alongside his historical work\, he writes regularly about contemporary Central American politics. Originally from Nicaragua\, Jarquín holds a PhD from Harvard University and a BA from Grinnell College. \n\nThe event is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History and the UCSB Department of History. It is free and open to the public. \n  \n
