A Jewish Counter-Narrative of the Arch of Titus Spolia Panel DESCRIPTION:Since antiquity\, scholars have almost universally — and correctly ? interpreted the menorah bearers of the Arch of Titus spoils panel as triumphal Romans celebrating the defeat of the Jews in the Jewish War of 66-74. Jews\, however\, have developed counter-memories for this monument. Since the Renaissance\, the menorah bearers have been identified as Jews carrying their holy vessels into Exile. This understanding was embraced by many fin de siècle Zionists\, who sought to “reverse” this exile with their own actions. In modern Israel this rather minor detail has achieved apocalyptic significance for the religious radical right. This talk explores the perimeters of Pierre Nora’s work on Lieux de Mémoire to include the changing voice of those whose defeat is commemorated\, with implications for viewing similarly active? and radioactive– “places of memory” in our own world.\nSteven Fine is the Dr. Pinkhos Churgin Professor of Jewish History at Yeshiva University and director of the Arch of Titus Digital Restoration Project. Fine’s Art and Judaism in the Greco-Roman World was awarded the Joshua Schnitzer Book Award by the Association for Jewish Studies (2009). His most recent book is Art\, History and the Historiography of Judaism in Roman Antiquity. \nSponsored by Ancient Borderlands RFG; the Dept. of Religious Studies; Division of the Humanities and Fine Arts.\nMore Information at the link below. \nhm 1/20/15 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/who-is-carrying-the-temple-menorah-a-jewish-counter-narrative-of-the-arch-of-titus-spolia-panel/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150126T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150126T000000 DTSTAMP:20260419T042546 CREATED:20150928T112904Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112904Z UID:10002309-1422230400-1422230400@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Nazis Next Door: How America Became a Safe Haven for Hitler’s Men DESCRIPTION:Eric Lichtblau unveils the secret history of how America became home to thousands of Nazi war criminals after World War II\, many of whom were scientists and spies brought here by the OSS and CIA as possible assets against new Cold War enemies. Ironically\, the Nazis began their flight to America in the months immediately after the war ended\, even as thousands of Holocaust survivors were still being held in “displaced person” camps. Relying on a trove of once-secret government records and scores of interviews with participants in this little-known chapter of postwar history\, Lichtblau tells the shocking and shameful story of how America became a safe haven for Hitler’s men.\nEric Lichtblau is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter in the Washington bureau of The New York Times and has written about legal\, political and national security issues since 2002. Previously he covered the Justice Department in the Washington Bureau of the Los Angeles Times. He is the author of Bush’s Law: The Remaking of American Justice. Courtesy of The Book Den\, copies of The Nazis Next Door will be available for purchase and signing at this event. \nSponsored by The Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, a program of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, is cosponsored by Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel. \nWebsite: http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/endowments/taubman\nMore Information at the link below: \nhm 1/20/15 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/the-nazis-next-door-how-america-became-a-safe-haven-for-hitlers-men/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150129T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150129T000000 DTSTAMP:20260419T042546 CREATED:20150928T112903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112903Z UID:10002300-1422489600-1422489600@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Civil War and Revolt in the Achaemenid Persian Empire DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the History Department’s Pre-Modern Cultures and Communities research cluster. \nrev. hm 1/11/15 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/civil-war-and-revolt-in-the-achaemenid-persian-empire/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20150131T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20150131T000000 DTSTAMP:20260419T042546 CREATED:20150928T112903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112903Z UID:10002305-1422662400-1422662400@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Slavery in the Texas Borderlands DESCRIPTION:This is the Second Annual JoBeth Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture.\nTo most Americans\, the word “slavery” conjures\nup images of plantations in the Old South. But in\nthe Texas Borderlands from 1700 to 1850\, slavery\nwas much more diverse. In his lecture\, Paul Barba\nwill explain how Spaniards\, Comanches\, Anglo\nAmericans\, and Choctaws enslaved others through\nprocesses of kin incorporation\, making slaves by\nmaking kin of their victims. In order to capture the\ndiversity of Texas slavery\, Paul has been looking at\na wide variety of multicultural sources to construct a\nmore comprehensive picture of interactions between\nthese different cultures. \nA luncheon of bbq beef and chicken will be served.\nCost is $20 for members\, $25 for non-members.\nPlease rsvp: (805) 893-4388. \nAbout the Speaker\nPaul Barba is writing his doctoral dissertation\,\ntitled “Enslaved in Texas: Slavery\, Migration\,\nand Identity in Native Country’\,” on a\nfellowship from the University of California\nInstitute for Mexico and the United States.
