Round Table: Hispanic Heritage Month & A New History of Iberian Feminism
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese invites you to a Round Table on Iberian Feminism, on the occasion of Hispanic Heritage Month and the publication of Una nueva historia de los feminismos ibéricos (Tirant lo Blach, 2021) edited by Prof. Silvia Bermúdez (UCSB) and Prof. Roberta Johnson (University of Kansas, UCLA). This is an updated Spanish edition of their book A New History of Iberian Feminisms (University of Toronto Press, 2018).
The roundtable will focus on Basque and Portuguese feminisms, paying special attention to how Portuguese feminists contested Salazar’s dictatorship (1926-1974), as well as the resistance offered by Basque feminists to Franco’s lengthy dictatorship (1939-1975).
This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Feminist Studies, the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program, Graduate Division, and the Department of History, as part of our 2020-2022 department theme, “Gender and Politics”. Please see the flyer below for more information on the event, speakers, and Zoom details.

History Associates: "Wonders of Medieval Rome" Talk by Carol Lansing
2021-11-07 14:00 - 15:00 | 21 W. Anapamu Street, 21 Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara
Recent research, discoveries and restorations are dramatically changing how scholars view medieval Rome. The city was hardly the artistic and cultural backwater we had imagined: instead, as Julian Gardner writes, it was a crucible for the arts. This talk will set out some of those finds. The Aula Gotica frescoes are just one fascinating example. In the 1240s a cardinal constructed a Gothic palace attached to a convent, with a grand reception hall decorated with innovative secular paintings of extraordinary quality. The Virtues are personified by monumental women dressed in helmets and chain mail, each with a virtuous figure perched on her shoulder and the corresponding vice under her feet. The months are depicted with beautifully composed scenes of seasonal labors. Because the paintings were plastered over in the early fourteenth century and only discovered and restored in the last few decades, the bright color and elegant brushwork survives. They should lead to a reevaluation of the narrative of early Renaissance painting.
Carol Lansing is a historian of medieval Italy who is currently researching elite culture in southern Lazio.
The event will be in-person and also live-streamed via Zoom. Click here to register to attend via Zoom — no registration is required to attend in person. The event is free and open to the public.
Venue: Karpeles Manuscript Library, 21 W. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara

Lecture by Jérémie Foa, Faces of the Massacre: Victims and Killers of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre (France, 1572)
2021-11-19 14:00 - 15:30 | University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, 93106, United States
Professor Jérémie Foa, Fellow, Institute for Advanced Study and Maître de conférences, HDR, Aix-Marseille Université, will present a lecture entitled,
“Faces of the Massacre: Victims and Killers of the Saint-Bartholomew’s Day Massacre (France, 1572).”
Friday, November 19, 2021 at 2 pm over Zoom;
Please email bernstein@history.ucsb.edu for the Zoom link.

In his new book, Tous ceux qui tombent. Visages du massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy, Professor Foa uses a broad range of little-known sources to uncover the lives and deaths of French Protestants killed during the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre in Paris and other cities in France in August-October 1572. His research also identifies and illuminates their murderers, who gained experience in harassing their Protestant neighbors during the French civil wars and then put this knowledge to use when circumstances permitted. His talk will shed light not only on the nature of religious violence in the sixteenth century but also on how conflicts can build and generate violence in numerous times and places.
