Whether in the form of the college Greek ‘toga party’ or portrayals in films\, as a modern audience we have expectations about the Roman banquet that meet certain criteria regarding common (mis)conceptions of Roman luxury and revelry. The ancient reality was something strikingly different\, but not necessarily any less exotic. The Roman banquet was more than simply a chance to eat well with friends\, it was an opportunity to expand one’s political and economic horizons. Successfully participating in a banquet required detailed knowledge of appropriate etiquette and the ability to prove by wit and erudition that you belong on the guest list. \nUsing a wide variety of evidence\, including frescoes\, mosaics\, the written word\, and the dishes used at the banquets themselves\, we can reconstruct banqueting traditions full of social meaning. This lecture explores the purposes\, processes and changes of the Roman banquet from the first through the sixth century AD. During the first few centuries of the Roman Empire the banquet followed a relatively constant set of rules. After the fourth century AD\, a new tradition appeared that was in stark contrast to the earlier model. Rather than replacing the old banquet\, the new is associated with the non-elite\, whereas the Late Roman rich and powerful continued to feast in much the same way as their Early Roman predecessors. The divergence of banqueting fashions represents a fissure between the ruling elite and the increasingly disenfranchised masses\, and the form the new style took may have everything to do with the rise of Christianity. \nNicholas Hudson is Assistant Professor in the Department of Art & Art History at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota\, Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies. \njwil 29.vii.2010\, 08.xi.2010 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/eat-drink-and-be-roman-the-changing-identity-of-dining-in-the-roman-world/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20101118T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20101118T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T234316 CREATED:20150928T112822Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112822Z UID:10001888-1290038400-1290038400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:"The Temperance Tea Party: Free Trade\, Sacred Tastes\, and the Sober Consumer in Early Industrial Britain."

DESCRIPTION:The San Andreas fault system is responsible for the formation of our most beloved and dramatic landscapes\, and for the earthquakes that shake us up from time to time. In her illustrated lecture\, Prof. Tanya Atwater will discuss the chance of someday predicting when and where the earth will break next\, the same way weather forecasters predict storms. How far are we from such predictions? Using animations\, simulations\, maps and images\, Prof. Atwater will demonstrate how specialists are finding out about longer term activity by studying sediment layers in the walls of trenches. We will learn how a “trench party” gleans information about possible future earthquakes\, and vicariously experience what the next big one might be like.\nProf. emerita Tanya Atwater is UCSB’s very own “shock jock\,” with a lifelong passion for maps and large-scale landscapes\, both oceanic and terrestrial\, and for the plate tectonic processes that create them. She is especially well known for her works on the plate tectonic evolution of western North America and the San Andreas fault system.\nAn outstanding teacher\, Prof. Atwater’s animations are used in classrooms\, teaching laboratories\, museums\, and public forums around the world. Prof. Atwater was elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences in 1997. Other recent honors include the National Science Foundation Director’s Award for Distinguished Teaching Scholars and the Geological Society of America Structure and Tectonics Division’s Best Paper Award. \nFirst Presbyterian Church\n23 E.

Wittenstein Lecture \nChristian Petry’s lecture explores the question whether remembering past\nacts of resistance against tyranny–such as that of the Munich student group\nin 1942-43–can provide inspiration to face today’s political challenges. \nThe White Rose (German: die Weiße Rose) was a non-violent/intellectual\nresistance group in Nazi Germany\, consisting of students from the University\nof Munich and their philosophy professor. The group became known for an\nanonymous leaflet campaign\, lasting from June 1942 until February 1943\,\nthat called for active opposition to dictator Adolf Hitler’s regime. \nThe six core members of the group were arrested by the Gestapo (German\nsecret police) and they were executed by decapitation in 1943. The text of\ntheir sixth leaflet was smuggled by Helmuth James Graf von Moltke out of\nGermany through Scandinavia to the United Kingdom\, and in July 1943\ncopies of it were dropped over Germany by Allied planes\, retitled “The\nManifesto of the Students of Munich.” \nChristian Petry is the author of Studenten aufs Schafott: Die Weisse Rose\nund ihr Scheitern\, 1968 (Students under the Guillotine: The Defeat of the\nWhite Rose). He has published books\, articles and films on student\nresistance in Nazi Germany\, on intercultural education and communication\,\nand on curriculum development and educational reform. \nAfter studying history and sociology at the Free University of Berlin\,\nPetry first worked as a teacher and sociologist at schools in southern Germany\nbefore starting a project for vocational and social integration of foreign\nyouth in Weinheim\, Germany. He has served as director of a project network\nto support ethnic minorities (“Regionale Arbeitsstellen zur Förderung\nausländischer Kinder und Jugendlicher”) in eight cities of the Ruhr area\,\nas director of a European Community model project to overcome youth\nunemployment in the city of Duisburg\, and as executive director of the\nFreudenberg Foundation whose objectives include the integration of\nimmigrant children and adolescents in German civil society and the defense\nand promotion of democratic culture. Petry has also served as Chair at the\nEuropean Foundation Centre\, Interest Group Youth and Education. Since 2010\,\nhe has been executive director of the Stiftungs- und Fördergemeinschaft\nModellprojekte GmbH\, Weinheim. \nThe lecture is free and open to the public. \nhm 11/30/10\, 1/4/11 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-white-rose-or-german-students-against-hitler/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110108T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110108T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T234316 CREATED:20150928T112823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112823Z UID:10001705-1294444800-1294444800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Strategies for Defending Higher Education DESCRIPTION:This counter-conference will take place during the annual Modern Language Convention in Los Angeles\, January 8th\, 2011 from 1-5 at Loyola Law School (919 Albany St\, 4 block from the Mariott\, in Merrifield Hall).

survivor of the Holocaust\, screens and discusses excerpts from his upcoming feature documentary And Crown Thy Good: Varian Fry in Marseille (2011)\, as well as his recent documentary short\, Not Idly By–Peter Bergson\, America and the Holocaust (2010).  His presentation addresses one of the enduring questions of the Shoah: What could have been done by the U.S. and its allies and by American Jews to save the Jews of Europe–and why wasn’t it done?  Sauvage wrote\, produced\, and directed Weapons of the Spirit\,which received the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award honoring excellence in broadcast journalism and which is widely regarded as a seminal documentary on rescue during the Holocaust.\nProfile of Filmmaker \nPierre Sauvage is a child survivor of the Holocaust and a child of Holocaust survivors.  An Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker\, Sauvage is the President of the Chambon Foundation\, which he founded in 1982.  The Chambon Foundation was the first nonprofit educational foundation committed to exploring and communicating the necessary and challenging lessons of hope intertwined with the Holocaust’s unavoidable lessons of despair.  \nSauvage’s recent documentary short\, Not Idly By: Peter Bergson\, America and Holocaust (2010) offers a portrait of a militant Jew born in Palestine who led a controversial American effort to fight the Holocaust.  According to historian Blanche Wiesen Cook\, “This brilliant\, galvanizing\, and profoundly moving documentary celebrates Peter Bergson’s vigorous efforts to end the silence and the slaughter that defined the Holocaust.” \nHis latest film\, And Crown Thy Good–Varian Fry in Marseille\, will be released in 2011.  A feature documentary\, it tells the story of a New York intellectual who after the fall of France to the Nazis spent a year in the Southern port city of Marseille leading one of the most remarkable and successful rescue efforts of the Nazi era.  While celebrating some remarkable Americans?Varian Fry\, Miriam Davenport\, Mary Jayne Gold\, Charles Fawcett\, Leon Ball and Hiram Bingham IV?the documentary places the story in the context of those challenging times\, addressing American policies towards the unwanted refugees.  Both the Jerusalem Cinematheque and New York City’s Museum of Jewish Heritage have recently held retrospectives devoted to the filmmaker. \nSauvage is best known for his 1989 feature documentary Weapons of the Spirit\, which tells the story the conspiracy of goodness of a mountain community in France that defied the Nazis and took in and saved five thousand Jews\, including himself and his parents.  Sauvage was born in this unique Christian oasis\, Le Chambon\, at a time when much of his family was being tortured and murdered in the Nazi death camps.  Only at the age of 18 did Sauvage learn that he and his family were Jewish and survivors of the Holocaust.  Weapons of the Spirit won numerous awards and received two national prime-time broadcasts on P.B.S.\, accompanied by Bill Moyers’ probing 1989 interview of the filmmaker\, and remains one of the most widely used documentary teaching tools on the Holocaust.  \nA popular lecturer on the Holocaust and its continuing challenges\, for over twenty years\, Sauvage has been a student of what he calls the American experience of the Holocaust.  He is one of a pioneering handful of experts on rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust–“righteous Gentiles”–and contends that they still have much to teach us.  The son of prominent French journalist and author\, Sauvage was 4 when he and his parents moved to New York City in 1948\, returning to Paris at 18 to pursue his studies. After working briefly as a journalist\, the Sorbonne drop-out fell in love with film at Paris’ legendary Cinémathèque Française\, becoming a film scholar and landing a job there working for the legendary genius Henri Langlois.  Veteran émigré producer Otto Preminger brought Sauvage back to New York as a story editor. After co-authoring a two-volume critical study of American film directors\, American Directors\, Sauvage finally got behind the camera himself as a staff producer-reporter for Los Angeles public television station KCET.  While producing over 30 hours of varied programming\, his first major success came when he decided to begin exploring those Jewish roots he had never known in Yiddish: the Mame-Loshn (1979). \nSponsors:\nThe 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 UCSB Arts & Lectures\, Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel. \nhm 12/7/10\, 1/2/11 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/america-and-the-holocaust/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110119T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110119T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T234316 CREATED:20150928T112823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112823Z UID:10001892-1295395200-1295395200@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Global Landscape of Holocaust Memorials since 1945 DESCRIPTION:Since the January 2000 Stockholm conference “The Holocaust – Education\, Remembrance and Research\,” which was attended by high-level representatives from 46 countries\, there has been much discussion of a “globalization” of memory of the Nazi Holocaust.

Testing modern assumptions and expectations against the archaeological\, iconographic\, and textual evidence leads to some surprising conclusions. While Minoan-Mycenaean society was probably sex-segregated (Minoan perhaps more so than Mycenaean)\, there is almost no evidence for love\, intimacy\, sex\, or marriage\, but there is good evidence for women participants in some athletic events and the hunt.\nJohn Younger is Professor of Classics and Director of the Women\, Gender & Sexuality Studies program at the University of Kansas. \nThis event is sponsored by the Ancient Mediterranean Studies program and the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group. \njwil 06.ix.10 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/women-in-prehistoric-greece/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110121T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110121T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T234317 CREATED:20150928T112823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112823Z UID:10001707-1295568000-1295568000@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Crisis\, Los Angeles Black Communities\, and the Failed State Debate DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by Clyde Woods\, Black Studies\, UCSB\, “The Crisis\, Los Angeles’ Black Communities\, and the Failed State Debate.” Woods is the author of Development Arrested: The Blues and Plantation Power in the Mississippi Delta (2000) and editor of Black Geographies and the Politics of Place (2007).

Her mighty rock fortress of Acrocorinth also made her almost impervious to attack. Corinth was a prime player in all the important historical events of antiquity\, succumbing at one point to destruction by the Roman armies in 146 B.C. and abandonment for roughly a century. Revived by Julius Caesar\, Corinth became a provincial capital and once again a thriving center of trade and culture\, attracting a large and diverse population of Italians\, Egyptians\, Jews\, Syrians\, and many others.\nFrom at least as early as legendary times Corinth also had a reputation as a center for magic and the occult. The city was the venue for some of the most striking adventures of the most notorious witch in Greece\, Medea. Many tales about ghosts\, haunted houses\, the supernatural\, and monsters were set in Corinth. Excavations by the American School of Classical Studies have revealed a “cell” where black magic was practiced at night high up on the slopes of Acrocorinth in the Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone. It was established at roughly the same time as St. Paul’s famous Christian mission to Corinth in the middle of the first century after Christ. \nThis lecture will present some of the special magical equipment used in these secret activities\, as well as the texts incised on lead tablets carrying curses that were deposited in this shrine. Named individuals are singled out for destruction and merit special attention because both writers and targets of many are women. \nRonald Stroud is Klio Distinguished Professor of Classical Languages and Literature Emeritus at the University of California\, Berkeley. \njwil 29.vii.2010 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/magic-and-religion-in-ancient-corinth/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110209T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110209T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T234317 CREATED:20150928T112824Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112824Z UID:10001906-1297209600-1297209600@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Evolution of Arab- and Muslim-American Activism in the Post-9/11 Decade DESCRIPTION:The talk is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History (CCWS) and cosponsored by the Department of History.\nThe event is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:Discussant: Prof. Amit Ahuja\, Political Science\, UCSB\nThe Politics of Heritage from Madras to Chennai examines the dynamics of public memory in the southern Indian city of Chennai\, a former colonial port that now hosts new economic ventures such as software engineering\, back office services and export processing. Over the past two decades of neoliberal globalization\, state and municipal authorities have launched new efforts to attract investment and consumption through regulatory changes and by fashioning a heritage-conscious cityscape. Working from specific sites (museums\, temples\, vernacular architecture projects and memorials)\, Hancock grapples with the question of how people in Chennai remember\, represent and debate their past\, considering the political and economic contexts and implications of those memory practices. \nMary Hancock is Professor in the Departments of History and Anthropology at UCSB\, where she teaches courses on public memory\, religion and the anthropology of space and place. She earned her PhD n Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania\, and is the author of The Politics of Memory from Madras to Chennai\, as well as numerous articles that have appeared in Modern Asian Studies\, American Ethnologist\, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space\, and the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research. \nAmit Ahuja\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, UCSB\, conducts research on the participation and mobilization of marginalized ethnic groups. His interests are located in the areas of ethnic politics\, political development\, security studies\, and South Asia. \nDownload chapters from the Book: Chapters 1 and 4 from the\nRFG Identity website.\nChapter 1 provides background information and we will focus our discussion on Chapter 4. \nSponsored by RFG Identity. \nhm 1/30/11 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-politics-of-heritage-from-madras-to-chennai/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110211T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110211T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T234317 CREATED:20150928T112825Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112825Z UID:10001917-1297382400-1297382400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Painting the People’s Court: Art and Democracy in Postwar Japan DESCRIPTION:This paper introduces the work of a group of miner-artists at a coal mine in northern Japan\, as an exampleof how art and other forms of cultural expression became vehicles for building new forms of democratic\nsubjectivity after the end of WWII.
