SUMMARY:Nicole De Silva\, History UCSB\, "Fashioning Chinese America Cultural Citizenship and the Transpacific Boycott of Japanese Silk Stockings\, 1937-1940”
DESCRIPTION:The Commerce\, Commodities and Material Culture Research Cluster will be hosting its first paper workshop this year to discuss Nicole De Silva’s paper “Fashioning Chinese America Cultural Citizenship and the Transpacific Boycott of Japanese Silk Stockings\, 1937-1940.”\n\nThe paper positions the Japanese silk stocking boycott of 1937-1941 as a staging ground that fostered the development of a Chinese American cultural and political identity in the midst of the Exclusion Era. It tells a story unbound by US national borders to demonstrate how contact and collaboration between US/ Chinese residents enabled boycott participants to articulate their biculturalism\, perform their image of modernity\, and find their political voices. By fitting this movement into larger historical disputes around trade\, diplomatic policy\, labor politics\, and US anti-fascism\, the project suggests that the debate over the buying and selling of Japanese silk hosiery was more than it might have “seamed.”\n\nPlease read the paper before coming to the workshop.  It is available here: NDS Silk Stockings Fall 2017 Revisions

SUMMARY:Hail the Maintainers! or - How to Give Up the Innovation Fetish (Prof. Lee Vinsel)
DESCRIPTION:Hail the Maintainers! or – How to Give Up the Innovation Fetish \nJoin us for a talk by Prof. Lee Vinsel\, Stevens Institute of Technology – 16 February 2017 in HSSB 4080 at 4PM \nOur culture is obsessed with innovation. Innovation is thought to be the goal of business\, policy-making\, philanthropy\, education\, even play. Yet\, the vast majority of human activity aims not at creating or adopting innovative things but in maintaining old ones. While our society celebrates Innovators\, the simple truth is that most of us are Maintainers. This talk first traces the rise of innovation-speak in the USA. The Cult of Invention that developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries laid the foundation\, but rise of the word “innovation” itself was a distinctly post-World War II phenomenon. Ironically\, the term was used more and more after 1970—and particularly after 1990—when the United States experienced low economic growth and fewer meaningful innovations than in the previous hundred years. \nInnovation-speak was a reaction to and antidote for economic malaise\, and all institutions\, including universities\, were to be reformed in its name. After laying out this history\, I will put forward an alternative view of human life with technology\, drawing on a tradition of thought\, including historians like Ruth Schwartz Cowan and David Edgerton. I will conclude by exploring the consequences of this more grounded view of technology and society for both the future of historical and social scientific technology studies and for policy-making. \nThis talk is co-sponsored with the Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG \nA flyer for Lee’s talk is here.
