SUMMARY:Laura Nenzi\, Researching the Margins: Challenges and Consequences of Embarking on a Microhistory Project
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \nLaura Nenzi  (Ph.D. History\, UC Santa Barbara\, 2004)\nAssociate Professor\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville \n\n  \nEvent Description: \nLaura Nenzi\, one of our very own (2004 PhD) is returning to UCSB to give a lecture about her recent (2015) second book The Chaos and Cosmos of Kurosawa Tokiko. The talk will focus on the process of researching\, writing and then selling to a publisher a micro-history of an itinerant saleswoman of needles and later school teacher of nineteenth-century Japan. \n“Researching the margins presents not one but two challenges. First\, and perhaps most obvious\, how do we do it? Second\, how do we sell it? It is to this second challenge that I wish to turn. The dreaded “so what?” question is one every historian must be prepared to answer\, but it seems especially relevant when writing about unrepresentative\, irrelevant individuals–the extras on the historical stage.  Based on my recent book on the rural teacher and oracle Kurosawa Tokiko (1806-1890)\, a self-described “base-born nobody” who attempted to change the course of late-Tokugawa history and failed\, this presentation offers reflections on the bumpy process of writing\, and selling\, a work of microhistory in the age of the global.” \nCosponsored by the departments of History and East Asian Language and Cultural Studies\, as well as the RE-inventing Japan RFG (IHC) and the East Asia Center.

SUMMARY:Carol Lansing\, Did a Woman Rule the Vatican?  The Scandalous History of Pope Joan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \nCarol Lansing is a professor of medieval European history at UCSB. A specialist in the society\, politics and culture of medieval Italy\, she is the author of Power and Purity: Cathar Heresy in Medieval Italy and\, most recently\, Passion and Order: Restraint of Grief in the Medieval Italian Communes. She is co-editor of A Companion to the Medieval World and the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships\, including a Guggenheim fellowship and the Howard R. Marraro Prize of the Catholic Historical Association. \n  \nEvent Description: \nA longstanding story has it that a woman disguised asa man became pope in 854. Accounts of her demise vary\, but involve her falling off her horse during apapal procession and either dying in childbirth on the spot or being dragged off by an enraged Roman mob.The story probably dates from around 1150\, when papal processions started avoiding the traditional site of her fall. In this first lecture of the new academic year\, History Prof. Carol Lansing will explain the joke in these stories\, exploring changes in papal ceremonial and anti-papal satire to understand Pope Joan in the context of attitudes about gender and the clergy. A wine-and-cheese reception will follow. \n  \nEvent Flyer:

SUMMARY:Dr. Masuda Hajimu\, Purity and Order: Toward Social-Cultural Understandings of the Cold War World\, 1950-1953
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nMasuda Hajimu (family name Masuda) received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2012 and currently is Assistant Professor of history at the National University of Singapore\, where he specializes in the history of Japan\, student movements in Asia\, decolonization\, and the Cold War. He is the author of Cold War Crucible: The Korean Conflict and the Postwar World (Harvard University Press\, 2015) and has published articles in Diplomatic History\, The Journal of Contemporary History\, The Journal of Cold War Studies\, and The Journal of American-East Asian Relations. \n  \nEvent Description:\nWhat was the Cold War? Professor Masuda Hajimu argues that it was more than an international confrontation between West and East blocs. It was also a social mechanism of purity and ordering at home\, in the chaotic post-WWII world. The suppression of counterrevolutionaries in China\, the White Terror in Taiwan\, the Red Purge in Japan\, McCarthyism in the United States–these were not merely end results of the Cold War\, but forces that brought the Cold War into being\, as ordinary people throughout the world strove to silence disagreements and restore social order under the mantle of an imagined global confrontation. \n  \nEvent Flyer:
