SUMMARY:Alicia Boswell\, UCSB: "Cultural Heritage and Community: Protecting the Past for the Future in the Moche Valley\, Peru"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Alicia Boswell\, who will deliver a talk entitled “Cultural Heritage and Community: Protecting the Past for the Future in the Moche Valley\, Peru”. \nThe talk will be held in HSSB 4020 at 5 pm on Wednesday\, March 6th\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nAbstract: Media reports on cultural heritage issues focus primarily on the destruction of ancient monuments and the illicit looting and sale of antiquities\, especially at the hands of groups such as ISIS. In doing so\, they largely ignore the likelihood that antiquities extraction and site destruction is more related to issues of global economic development. This talk addresses the global and national socioeconomic pressures connected to heritage destruction in Peru and highlights a model implemented to combat archaeological site destruction in the Moche Valley\, Peru by Moche Inc\, a nonprofit organization that Boswell collaborates with. This model\, which engages local communities in heritage preservation and development projects demonstrates that the benefits of conserving archaeological sites can extend beyond site preservation and tourism opportunities. Community collaboration and protection of archaeological sites can contribute to economic opportunities and long-term community development. \nAbout the Speaker: Alicia Boswell is Assistant Professor in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at UCSB. \nTo access the pre-circulated paper\, please visit https://items.ssrc.org/facing-extreme-el-ninos-at-the-local-level/

SUMMARY:Talk by Dr. Alexander Statman: "Global Enlightenment: France\, China\, and the Idea of Progress"
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of the Enlightenment\, Europe claimed a monopoly on progress for itself alone. In the eighteenth century\, other places had appeared as familiar and comparable. By the early nineteenth century\, they were cast as inscrutable and incommensurable. What caused this fundamental transformation in Europe’s understanding of itself? In this talk\, I aim to explain the transition from early-modern cosmopolitanism to late-modern orientalism by revealing the hitherto unknown deployment of Chinese science in Enlightenment debates. To do so\, I reconstruct a cross cultural conversation that took place around the turn of the nineteenth century between Paris and Beijing. Searching for alternatives to the emerging idea of progress\, orphans of the Enlightenment entered into communication with the last great scholar of the Jesuit mission to China\, Joseph-Marie Amiot. Together\, they drew from Chinese learning to invent modern esotericism\, associating distant places with the ancient past in an attempt to salvage both. The unintended result was to place a cognitive chasm around the modern West. In the early nineteenth century\, professional scholars created modern academic disciplines to bring that work back into progress theory. They made the past into a foreign country – both became a window into a fundamentally different worldview. \n  \nAlexander Statman is the Dibner Fellow in the History of Science at The Huntington Library. Dr. Statman researches the global Enlightenment and east-west exchange in the history of science and has been published in journals such as Isis: A Journal of the History of Science Society and East Asian Science\, Technology\, and Medicine. He is currently revising his first book\, A Global Enlightenment: France\, China\, and the Idea of Progress. \nStatman Flyer(3)

SUMMARY:Book Talk by Kiran Klaus Patel\, University of Maastricht: "The New Deal: A Global History"
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Kiran Klaus Patel (Univ. of Maastricht) will speak about his new book The New Deal: A Global History (Princeton University Press\, 2016)\, which won the World History Association’s Bentley Book Prize in 2017. \nProfessor Patel compares American responses to the international crisis of capitalism and democracy during the 1930s to responses by other countries around the globe — not just in Europe but also in Latin America\, Asia\, and other parts of the world. Work creation\, agricultural intervention\, state planning\, immigration policy\, the role of mass media\, forms of political leadership\, and new ways of ruling America’s colonies — all had parallels elsewhere and unfolded against a backdrop of intense global debates. \nProf. Patel has also published ​Soldiers of Labor: Labor Service in Nazi Germany and New Deal America\, 1933-1945 (2005)\, and several books on the European Union\, including most recently Project Europa: A Critical History (2018).\nHis talk is sponsored by the German Historical Institute (West) with the Gerda Henkel Foundation\, supported by the UCSB Center for the Study of Work\, Labor\, and Democracy\, and the Center for Cold War Studies and International History.

SUMMARY:"Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic"\, a talk by Carlos Aguirre at the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the History Department’s Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Prof. Carlos Aguirre (University of Oregon)\, who will be presenting a paper entitled “Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic: The Biography of Vargas Llosa’s La ciudad y los perros“. \nThe talk will be held at 5pm on Friday\, October 5th in HSSB 4020\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nThis event is supported by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, the History Department Colloquium Committee\, the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program\, and the Program in Comparative Literature. \nAbstract\nMario Vargas Llosa’s first novel\, La ciudad y los perros (Barcelona\, 1963)\, marked the beginning of the author’s outstanding literary career but also\, according to many\, of the “Latin American boom\,” a literary\, political\, and publishing phenomenon that changed the landscape of Latin American and world literature. A novel about a group of adolescents in a military school in Lima that was widely read as a critique of Peruvian militaristic\, machista\, and authoritarian culture\, it became an almost instant classic but was also involved in a series of literary and political controversies. Exploring the role of literary and friendship networks\, the Spanish publishing industry\, the negotiations with Franco’s censorship office\, the scandals that surrounded its reception\, and the political climate of the time\, this talk will reconstruct the process by which the manuscript of a novel written by an almost unknown author became a powerful literary\, cultural\, and political artifact. \nAbout the speaker\nCarlos Aguirre is Professor of History at the University of Oregon and the author or editor of several books on slavery and abolition\, crime and punishment\, intellectuals\, and the history of Lima. His most recent publications include The Peculiar Revolution. Rethinking the Peruvian Experiment under Military Rule\, co-edited with Paulo Drinot (2017) and Bibliotecas y Cultura Letrada en América Latina. Siglos XIX y XX\, co-edited with Ricardo Salvatore (2018). For more information on professor Aguirre’s works\, check https://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~caguirre/home.html \nWe hope to see many of you there!

SUMMARY:Slaves\, Silver\, and Atlantic Empires (Alex Borucki\, UC Irvine)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the new Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Alex Borucki\, who will deliver a talk entitled “Slaves\, Silver\, and Atlantic Empires: The Slave Trade to Spanish South America\, 1700-1810”. \nThe talk will be held in HSSB 4020 at 5 pm on Wednesday\, November 1st\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nProf. Borucki has pre-circulated a paper. Please e-mail jcobo@history.ucsb.edu to obtain a copy. \nAbstract: This presentation examines the slave voyage conducted by the ship Ascension (1795-1797) connecting Rhode Island\, Mozambique\, and the Río de la Plata (The River of Silver\, today’s Argentina and Uruguay)\, as a window into the eighteenth-century slave trade to Spanish South America. In this era\, the slave trade became the key to accessing Spanish American consumers and silver for foreign traders. As a result\, Spanish American silver entered English\, Dutch\, and Portuguese commercial circuits beneficial to metropolitan merchants and public revenues. The story of the Ascension’s captives goes beyond Anglo-American conceptions of the Middle Passage born out of the triangular trade\, as the yearlong ordeal of these Africans involved Indian Ocean embarkation\, Atlantic crossing to Montevideo\, a journey on oxen-carts throughout the Pampas and on mule-trains across the Andes into Chile\, and their final reshipment in the Pacific to Lima. \nAbout the Speaker: Alex Borucki is Associate Professor of History at UC Irvine.
