SUMMARY:The Jazz Singer: From the Melting Pot to a Multicultural America
DESCRIPTION:Ever since it premiered in 1927\, The Jazz Singer has been considered the paradigmatic film about the Americanization of the children of Jewish immigrants. The movie has inspired remakes and retakes on the theme of the son’s rebellion against his father’s traditions. This lecture examines how and why subsequent versions altered the original plotline and message to reflect the values of target audiences and the changing configurations of national\, racial\, and religious identity in the United States from the 1920s until the present.\nLawrence Baron has held the Nasatir Chair of Modern Jewish History at San Diego State University since 1988 and directed its Jewish Studies Program until 2006. He has authored and edited four books including The Modern Jewish Experience in World Cinema (2011) and Projecting the Holocaust into the Present: The Changing Focus of Contemporary Holocaust Cinema (2005). He served as the historian and as an interviewer for Sam and Pearl Oliner’s The Altruistic Personality: Rescuers of Jews in Nazi Europe.  In 2006 he delivered the keynote address for Yad Vashem’s first conference devoted to Hollywood and the Holocaust.  His contribution to Holocaust Studies was recently profiled in Fifty Key Thinkers on the Holocaust and Genocide (2010).  \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 and Lectures\, Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel. This event is also cosponsored by the Carsey-Wolf Center at UCSB.  \nhm 4/2/12

SUMMARY:The Great King and the Sea: Maritime Trade and Naval Power in the Achaemenid Empire
DESCRIPTION:At the beginning of the fifth century BCE\, Achaemenid Persia had the largest navy in the world\, but after its failed invasions of Greece\, the empire limited its warships’ numbers and refused to maintain a standing fleet.  While Classical Athens viewed naval power as a catalyst for maritime trade and the acquisition of wealth\, the Persians found that excessive naval development strained their financial structures and interfered with their coastal subjects’ trade income.  This lecture will explore the conflict between naval and economic interests in one of the ancient world’s first great empires.\nJohn Hyland is Associate Professor of History at Christopher Newport University (Newport News\, VA). \nThis event is sponsored by the the Ancient Mediterranean Studies program and the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group. \njwil 02.iii.2012

SUMMARY:Missionary Witchcrafting African Being: Cultural Disarmament
DESCRIPTION:This paper examines 19th-20th century European missionary cultural attitudes\, discourses and practices and their impact on African consciousness and socio-cultural security\, read primarily through the prism of performative cultures (primarily song) in colonial Zimbabwe (1890s-1970s). For decades since their advent on the African continent\, European missionaries rabidly assaulted African cultures\, regarding them as special manifestations of what they called African “savagery.” This assault persisted throughout the colonial period\, though it somewhat became tampered by a reforming Catholic cultural policy which\, from the 1950s\, allowed for selective appropriation of aspects of African cultures in the latter church’s battle to save itself from the winds of political change that were blowing across the continent. I argue that while many Africans held onto their indigenous musical and other cultural practices\, the missionary assault significantly undermined the fountains of African being. As such\, I posit that missionization should be read as an insidious attempt at cultural disarmament that greatly facilitated African subjection to colonialism and neo-colonialism.\nSponsored by the IHC’s African Studies RFG\, the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Music\, the Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies and the IHC’s Public Goods Series. \nProf. Chikowero’s paper is available at the link below \nhm 5/24/12

SUMMARY:Copyright\, Piracy\, and the Artist: Music and the Politics of Culture in Postcolonial Mali
DESCRIPTION:The Orfalea Center Seminar Room is1005 Robertson Gym (detached office wing in front of main Ocean Road entrance) \nIn Mali today\, appeals to confront the “scourge” (fléau) of music piracy and affirm the intellectual property of professional musicians resound within the public sphere. These debates echo anxieties about the social and economic value of the arts in an era of private markets and decentralized politics. In an effort to historicize such concerns\, this talk will present a genealogy of copyright (le droit d’auteur) and its criminalized corollary\, piracy\, through an emergent politics of culture in Mali over the past half-century. Emphasizing the production\, circulation\, and performance of music\, this history reveals the  longstanding and steadily deepening social\, political\, and economic precarity that has shaped the subjectivity of the contemporary Malian artist. Framed as a critique\, this talk brings the past to bear on the current era of neoliberalism\, highlighting the anomic disjuncture between an unregulated free market and the disciplinary state institutions that neoliberal governmentality has produced in postcolonial Mali. \nhm 5/24/11

SUMMARY:Constructing Expertise.  Body\, Mind and Forensic Medicine in 19th century Dutch Cases of Rape and Infanticide
DESCRIPTION:Whereas nowadays ‘expertise’ has become a problematic concept\, especially in regard to the doubt expressed against scientists participating in the debate over climate change\, the role this notion played in the past has hardly been researched. Specifically\, the function of forensic medicine and psychiatry in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is now starting to be explored. This paper will address the influence of medical evidence in Dutch cases of rape and infanticide (in the period 1811-1920)\, arguing that the expertise of physicians was strongly circumscribed by the law and the legal process. Furthermore\, many physicians expressed their ignorance or disagreement. The introduction of technology\, like the use of the microscope\, did not influence the outcome of court cases at all. Authority\, then\, was not automatically conferred onto these experts. Influenced by Science and Technology Studies\, the paper overall argues for more attention to the social construction of medical expertise in the court room.  \nWillemijn Ruberg is Assistant Professor in cultural history at Utrecht University\, the Netherlands.  She received her PhD (2005) from Leiden University.  From 2005-2008\, she lectured in History and Women’s Studies at the University of Limerick in Ireland. Prof. Ruberg’s research interests include the history of gender\, emotion\, sexuality\, the body and forensic medicine in the 18th and 19th centuries.  \nLight refreshments will be served after the talk. \njwil 29.v.2012; hm 5/29/12\, 6-4

SUMMARY:The Experience of Authority in Early Modern England and America
DESCRIPTION:A central question for historians of religion and culture in early modern Europe and early America is how\, given the complexities of mapping “popular religion\,” the authority of theological paradigms and religious institutions can be recast to acknowledge social mediations and cultural practice.   In this lecture\, David D. Hall uses examples from both sides of the Atlantic to sketch some of the possibilities for a grammar of actions and meanings\, rethinking historians’ conclusions about the authority of institutions and the great cultural commonplaces of the times.\nProf. Hall has worked throughout his career on religion and society in seventeenth-century England and New England; his books include: The Faithful Shepherd: A History of the New England Ministry in the Seventeenth Century; Worlds of Wonder\, Days of Judgment: Popular Religious Belief in Early New England; Puritans in the New World: A Critical Anthology and\, most recently\, A Reforming People: Puritanism and the Transformation of Public Life in New England (2011).  \nHe is presently writing a general history of Puritanism in England\, Scotland\, and New England c. 1550 to 1700\, to be published by Princeton University Press\, and continues to pursue interests in “lived religion\,” literacy\, and the history of the book in early America and early modern England. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Dept. of History\, the Dept. of Religious Studies\, and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center \nhm 9/9/11

SUMMARY:Ephesus: Harbour\, City and Hinterland
DESCRIPTION:Ephesus was one of the most important ancient harbour cities\, yet it nevertheless had to contend with a continually progressive silting up caused by natural sedimentation processes. In order to guarantee an optimal connection to the sea\, the settlement was moved on numerous occasions\, until an artificial landing was created with the construction of the late Hellenistic-Roman harbour which was connected to the sea by an originally broad canal. An impressive scenario was offered to visitors: the northern slope of the Bülbüldağ was bordered by tomb buildings\, and after the 3rd century A.D. a necropolis also grew up along both sides of the canal. From the harbour basin\, which was framed by both functional and prestigious buildings\, the visitor arrived at the city via three gates. The harbour region was without doubt the pulsating centre of the city with markets\, baths\, sacred structures and numerous administrative buildings.\nA distinct upswing and cultural transformation went hand in hand with the establishment of the Province of Asia and the designation of Ephesus as its capital city. In the archaeological record\, this development is particularly impressively manifested during the Augustan period\, after which time a significantly Roman character of the material culture can be observed. The urban appearance of Ephesus in the Roman Imperial period was stamped by numerous private foundations and honorific monuments which bordered the public plazas and streets. \nA number of factors are responsible for the economic prosperity of the city. Thus\, for example\, the city had an extremely fertile hinterland at its disposal\, where agriculture\, above all the cultivation of olives and wine\, could be intensively practiced. The abundance of raw materials in the hinterland of Ephesus was also of great significance; the presence of marble in particular can be pointed to. The harbour of Ephesus\, where tariffs were also collected\, served as trading hub and reloading point for goods of every description. Wares from Asia Minor were shipped from here\, while imports from the entire empire and beyond were delivered to the city and the wider region. An additional factor of economic importance was the Artemision\, which – as large-scale landholder\, as the “bank of Asia”\, and also as a pilgrimage sanctuary – contributed measurably to the prosperity of the city and its population. The provision of a metropolis such as Ephesus\, whose inhabitants made high demands for consumption\, was a logistical challenge: sites of production and transportation routes needed to be maintained in a functioning capacity\, markets had to be adequately supplied\, and distribution guaranteed. \nAs capital city and seat of a bishop of the now significantly smaller Province of Asia\, Ephesus retained its key function as trading hub throughout Late Antiquity\, even when with the founding of Constantinople the focal point of activity was now transferred to the new capital. Great consideration was still paid to maintaining the harbour basin and the canal. By means of the construction of outer harbours\, large ships could anchor offshore and unload their cargo\, which would be brought into the city on smaller boats. The numerous Christian sanctuaries\, above all the Basilica of St. John and the Church of St. Mary\, attracted hordes of pilgrims\, and thus a brisk trade in tourism and eulogies was developed. \nFinally\, the medieval town of Ayasoluk\, which extended around the Basilica of St. John and the area of the Artemision\, also profited from previously existing trading connections\, and was equally as attractive for Italian\, Jewish and Armenian merchants as it was for the resident Byzantines and Turks.  \nAbout the Speaker\nSabine Ladstätter is the Director of the Austrian Archaeological Institute\, and is Excavation Director at Ephesus.  She holds her degrees from the University of Vienna (Ph.D.) and the Karl-Franzens-Universität (University of Graz)\, and her areas of specialization are Roman archaeology\, landscape archaeology\, pottery\, and archaeological method.  Dr. Ladstätter has been named Austrian Scientist of the Year\, and is an AIA Kress Lecturer for 2012/2013. \nSponsored by the Santa Barbara Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the UCSB Department of Classics in cooperation with the UCSB Ancient Mediterranean Studies Program. \njwil 21.ix.2012

SUMMARY:Deconstructing the Myth of Pure Origins: How Christianity Shaped the Scientific Study of Race
DESCRIPTION:It is often believed that the modern scientific study of race first emerged in and around the Enlightenment. During this time the study of natural history reached an unprecedented level of maturity and sophistication due largely to the discovery of novel plants\, animals\, and humans in the New World\, and the increasing influence of materialist philosophy\, which encouraged scholars to seek explanations for the origins of life that did not depend on supernatural intervention. The attempts of contemporary historians and anthropologists to place the birth of modern racial science within the Age of Reason often overlook the continued role that traditional Christian conceptions of time\, nature\, and human descent played in the minds of natural historians studying race during and well beyond the 18th century. This oversight has kept alive the myth that the Enlightenment emancipated modern racial science from a Judeo-Christian worldview and raises questions about which ideas have a legitimate place within the history of scientific theories of human difference.\nTerence Keel is Visiting Assistant Professor of Black Studies at UCSB. \nImage: A thirteenth century rendition of “T-O” map from the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville (AD 560-636).
