SUMMARY:Sailing from Ming China
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, an unusual 17th-century Chinese wall map of East Asia surfaced in the Bodleian Library in Oxford\, bearing almost no resemblance to any previous Chinese map.  Were it not for its perfect provenance\, it might have been dismissed as a fake.   But it wasn’t:  it was simply drawn according to a completely different cartographic logic — a maritime logic — that was lost as soon as it surfaced.\nProf. Brook (History Department\, University of British Columbia-Vancouver) is a distinguished historian of Ming & Qing Dynasties in China\, and has taught at Oxford\, Toronto\, and Stanford.  He is the author of an impressive array of works\, including Praying for Power: Buddhism and the Formation of Gentry Society in Late-Ming China\, The Confusions of Pleasure: Commerce and Culture in Ming China\, Vermeer’s Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World and Death by a Thousand Cuts. \nSponsored by the UCSB East Asia Center. \njwil 07.i.2013

SUMMARY:Who Freed the Slaves?
DESCRIPTION:On January 1\, 1863\, the Emancipation Proclamation became law. Conceived as a pragmatic measure to hasten the end of a bloody civil war\, the Proclamation declared millions of slaves to be “forever free.” Americans naturally identify this momentous event with Abraham Lincoln\, who became widely known as “The Great Emancipator.”  While Lincoln undoubtedly played a key role in ending slavery\, were political figures alone responsible for this momentous event? Historians have come to see emancipation as the result of a broader social movement which worked tirelessly to force Americans to confront the moral and economic consequences of slavery. The slaves themselves were a key part of this movement. By fleeing to Union lines\, serving as Union soldiers\, and insisting on full equality\, they set the stage for their own liberation.\nThis talk is based on an exhibit at the Special Collections Department at Davidson Library. The exhibit is based on documents and artifacts from UCSB’s Wyles Collection—a treasure trove of original nineteenth-century materials about Lincoln\, the Civil War\, and the American West. \nJohn Majewski is Professor of History at UCSB\, and Associate Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts. \nFor questions\, or if you need special arrangements to accommodate a disability\, please call the UCSB Office of Public Events at 893-2877.  \njwil 09.i.2013

SUMMARY:The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies?
DESCRIPTION:In his new book\, The World Until Yesterday\, Jared Diamond\, the Pulitzer Prize-winning and mega-best-selling author of Guns\, Germs\, and Steel and Collapse\, takes us on a mesmerizing journey into our rapidly vanishing past. Drawing on his fieldwork in New Guinea as well as evidence from Inuit\, Amazonian and other cultures\, Diamond explores how traditional peoples approach universal problems – from child rearing and elder care to dispute resolution – and discovers that we have much to learn from these cultures.\nBooks will be available for purchase and signing. \nhm 1/4/13
