A moment of crisis in her life is analyzed by discussing the contexts of the federal “civilizing” program\, female domesticity\, and Christian missions in Ojibwe country\, all of which significantly influenced notions of identity about and among Indians in the region in the 19thcentury. Through examining discourse surrounding Susan’s marriage engagement in 1880\, she illustrates how hierarchies of “civilized” and “race” awkwardly intersected as they produced tensions in conceptions of her identity. She gives particular attention to gendered aspects of colonialism in her examination of how missionaries sought to restructure Ojibwe communities by looking at the ways in which Ojibwe women both adapted and subverted forms of patriarchy\, individualism\, capitalism\, and domesticity that were imposed in Native communities.\nThe History Department is hosting Dr. Mattie Harper\, a Berkeley PhD and current UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow\, who is a candidate for a position in our department. \nhm 1/14/13 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/civilizing-the-pillagers-identity-race-and-domesticity-in-ojibwe-country-1830-1890/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130131T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130131T000000 DTSTAMP:20260506T214350 CREATED:20150928T112844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112844Z UID:10002113-1359590400-1359590400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE: Theater of War DESCRIPTION:Theater of War is an innovative project that presents professional actors reading scenes from ancient Greek drama about soldiers returning from war.

Research on the evolution of that state is ongoing in Hawaii\, and currently a multidisciplinary team including archaeologists\, ecologists\, soil scientists\, demographers\, and quantitative modelers is investigating the long-term human ecodynamics in the Hawaiian archipelago. This research investigates the dynamics of population growth\, agricultural intensification\, and sociopolitical change via the archaeological investigation of households in leeward Kohala\, on the island of Hawaii. Household chronology\, fission\, and subsistence patterns are explored and used to detect the formation of new socioeconomic units (ahupua‘a)\, which fueled the emergence of the early Hawaiian state.\nJulie Field is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Ohio State University. \nSponsored by the Santa Barbara Society of the Archaeological Institute of America with support from the UCSB Department of Classics. \nShort bibliography: \n2011 Field\, J.

Challenging Cis/Trans/Gender Oppositions in Feminist History DESCRIPTION:The last decade has seen the elaboration of histories of trans exclusion from feminist venues\, and also the institutionalization of the term “cis.” Both pose binary oppositions between transgender and not-trans that emphasize trans bodies as the critical signifier of gender identity. In this talk\, I first consider narrative tropes of 1970s feminist exclusion of trans people and question the investment in defining feminism as that which is not trans. I suggest alternative histories and ask whether we can analyze transphobic processes without ceding the history of feminism to its most trans-exclusive elements. Second\, I refer to the work that “cis” has done to consolidate a binary opposition between trans and not trans by reducing trans to its most medicalized and exceptional model. Both narratives–the historical and contemporary–produce the particularity of trans while erasing trans subjects. In contrast\, a transfeminist historical perspective encourages recognition of the centrality of transgender subjects to iconic feminist formations as well as the contemporary uncontainability of all bodies and transitions.\nA. Finn Enke is associate professor of History\, Gender and Women’s Studies\, and Director of LGBT Studies at University of Wisconsin\, Madison. Enke is currently working on a history of trans and feminist activism titled\, Gender Changes: Transfeminist Activism from the 1960s to the New Millennium\, and a graphic novel about the 1960’s and 1970s titled\, With Finn and Wing: Growing Up Amphibious in a Nuclear Age. Enke’s previous works include Finding the Movement: Sexuality\, Contested Space\, and Feminist Activism (Duke U. Press\, 2007)\, and (as editor) Transfeminist Perspectives: Within and Beyond Gender Studies (Temple University Press\, 2012).

The press release is a remarkable litany of innovations in technology\, gameplay\, distribution\, and content creation. It also introduces a term\, the “DOOM engine\,” to describe the technology under the hood of the game software. Building on the success of DOOM as a new kind of “open game” promised in the news release\, id established game engine technology as the motor of a re-imagined game industry\, the structure of which is still being worked out today. \nAbout the Speaker\nHenry Lowood received his B.S. in History (minor: Physics) from the University of California\, Riverside.

It turned out that one of the last Mohicans of this vanishing tribe\, Dmitry Likhachev\, lived long enough to have an impact on Mikhail Gorbachev’s perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Likhachev\, survivor of the first Soviet labor camp in the 1920s\, is the world’s best authority on old Russian literature and language\, often considered to be Russia’s conscience during the perestroika period. Professor Zubok is the author of A Failed Empire: the Soviet Union in the Cold War from Stalin to Gorbachev (2007)\, and Zhivago’s Children: The Last Russian Intelligentsia (2009).\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Department of History\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Center of Cold War Studies and International History. \nhm 2/120/13 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/saving-russian-patriotism-dmitry-likhachev-and-the-struggle-of-identity-in-soviet-intelligentsia/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130221T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130221T000000 DTSTAMP:20260506T214350 CREATED:20150928T112845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112845Z UID:10002128-1361404800-1361404800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:When Janey Comes Marching Home: Portraits of Women Combat Veterans DESCRIPTION:To date\, more than 280\,000 women have served in Iraq\, Afghanistan and surrounding regions. Their jobs include working as convoy gunners\, searching homes\, and conducting IED sweeps. On February 21\, Laura Browder will discuss her book and exhibit (with photographs by Sascha Pflaeging) When Janey Comes Marching Home\, which gives a presence and a voice to American women returning from service in a war zone. Watching and listening to these women will unsettle our fixed ideas about Americans at war and add dimension to the often flawed or fragmentary pop culture depictions of women in the military: as novelties\, but not as real soldiers. It will also undermine stereotypes and preconceptions about women in war. These stories tell us things we never knew about the experiences of women in combat: not just what it’s like to be under fire\, but also how women deployed to Iraq cope with motherhood\, marriage\, duty\, and sexism. We hope that by seeing the faces of women who have deployed\, and hearing their stories\, we can begin to get a sense of all the ways women are experiencing this long war.\nSponsored by the IHC series Fallout: In the Aftermath of War. \nhm 2/14/13 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/when-janey-comes-marching-home-portraits-of-women-combat-veterans/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130221T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130221T000000 DTSTAMP:20260506T214350 CREATED:20150928T112845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112845Z UID:10001861-1361404800-1361404800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:New Promise\, Old Premise: Workforce Education and Opportunity in American Nanomanufacturing DESCRIPTION:As once-thriving U.S. manufacturing sectors contract\, the idea that unemployed citizens will now find work in nano-scale manufacturing draws commitments of educational resources across the country. So-called nanotechnician curricula proliferate at two-year institutions and their enrollments climb steadily. Yet industrial forecasters and even some instructors see few jobs of this kind on the horizon. This is\, in essence\, a case of new technological knowledge reproducing old social patterns that have historically brought disadvantage to those groups of Americans most dependent on sub-baccalaureate education. The newness of nano as a field–one touted as both scientific and economic innovation–disguises long standing class\, race and gender-derived inequities in technical education and labor.\nDr. Amy E. Slaton is a professor of history at Drexel University. She holds a PhD in the History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Her most recent book\, Race\, Rigor and Selectivity in U.S. Engineering: The History of an Occupational Color Line (Harvard University Press\, 2010)\, follows racial ideologies in engineering higher education since the 1940s. She is currently writing on the challenges facing two-year colleges seeking to prepare high-tech workforces as automation\, outsourcing\, and other impediments to industrial employment gain momentum in American manufacturing. Prof. Slaton produces the blog\, STEMequity.com\, centered on equity in technical education and workforce issues. \nhm 2/19/13 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/new-promise-old-premise-workforce-education-and-opportunity-in-american-nanomanufacturing/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130222T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130222T000000 DTSTAMP:20260506T214350 CREATED:20150928T112845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112845Z UID:10002130-1361491200-1361491200@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Graduate Symposium on the Cold War DESCRIPTION:FRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 22HSSB 4020 \n9:00-10:00 AM–Meet-and-Greet Breakfast \n9:45-10:00 AM–Welcome and Introduction\nSalim Yaqub and Ken Hough \nSession 1 10:00-11:45 \nEric Fenrich\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“Nine Black Kids and a Silver Ball: Little Rock\, Sputnik\, and the American International Image”\nComment: Cody Stephens\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \nHenry Maar\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“‘Three Megatons of ‘Peace'”: The MX Missile Controversy and the Meaning of Survival in the Atomic Age”\nComment: Jason Saltoun-Ebin\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \nJason Saltoun-Ebin\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“Ronald Reagan\, Mikhail Gorbachev\, and the End of the Cold War”\nComment: Henry Maar\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \n12:00-12:45–Lunch \n12:45-1:30–Keynote Address by Dimitri Akulov\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\n“Managing Allies and Adversaries at a Time of War: Soviet Foreign Policy During the Early Years of World War II” \n1:30-1:45 Audience Q & A \nSession 2 1:45-3:30 \nKristen Shedd\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“Tempest in a Teacup: Warping the Church-State Divide”\nComment: Kristy Slominski\, UCSB\, Department of Religious Studies\nAudience Q & A \nCody Stephens\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“The Liberal Origins of Dependency Theory.”\nComment: Chiting Peng\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \nSteve Hu\, UCSB\, Department of Religious Studies\n“Words at War: the Far East Broadcasting Company and the\nEvangelicals’ War Against Communism”\nComment: Eric Fenrich\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \n5:00 pm–Cold War Mixer at Storke Family Housing Community Center\nNote: the event ends with our annual CCWS mixer. \nAlthough the symposium is primarily intended for graduate students\, we invite faculty\, undergraduates\, and community members to attend as well.

Kaplan will argue that most analysis of the imagery of air power?reconnaissance analog and digital photography?situates this kind of visual data as universalized panopticism; total\, rational\, and complete. According to this approach\, reconnaissance imagery can reveal meanings which are always already there waiting to be read. Yet\, instances of aerial or elevated viewing before the invention of the airplane suggest a more ontological approach to perception; one that requires habits of observation over time to assemble things like “views.” The strange perspective of vertical views from balloons\, the dizzying “pirouette” of the oblique panorama\, and the triangulated precision of the ordnance survey?these diverse instances demonstrate the uneven nature of representations of terrain that required the development of new habits of visual expertise. In the effort to make sense\, to make “something\,” out of numerous sights\, sounds\, and sensations\, aerial observation offered neither rational panopticism nor irrational multiplicity. Instead\, these technologies of vision and representation were “put together” by viewers who sought to repeat the experiences of aerial and elevated observation for pleasure\, knowledge\, and also\, for war.\nCaren Kaplan is Professor of American Studies and affiliated faculty in Cultural Studies\, Science & Technology Studies\, and Cinema & Technocultural Studies at the University of California at Davis. She is the author of Questions of Travel: Postmodern Discourses of Displacement (Duke\, 1996) and the co-author and co-editor of Introduction to Women’s Studies: Gender in a Transnational World (McGraw-Hill 2001/2005)\, Between Woman and Nation: Transnational Feminisms and the State (Duke 1999)\, and Scattered Hegemonies: Postmodernity and Transnational Feminist Practices (Minnesota 1994) as well as two digital multi-media scholarly works\, Dead Reckoning and Precision Targets.

The discovery of multiple artifacts and excavated documents in northwest China allows us to revise this image. In fact\, few people moving along the Silk Road were long-distance merchants. Under tight government supervision\, merchants usually stayed on circuits close to home and exchanged goods for other goods\, often not using coins at all. Other Silk Road travelers included missionaries\, refugees\, artists\, and envoys\, who have left the clearest document footprint of all. The most active foreign community in China were Sogdians\, migrants from Samarkand and the surrounding areas. They found new homes in the small oasis-states ringing the Taklamakan Desert whose rulers encouraged religious tolerance as they welcomed newcomers to their realms.\nAbout Dr. Valerie Hansen\nValerie Hansen teaches Chinese and world history at Yale\, where she is professor of history. Her main research goal is to draw on nontraditional sources to capture the experience of ordinary people. In particular she is interested in how sources buried in the ground\, whether intentionally or unintentionally\, supplement the detailed official record of China’s past. Her books include The Open Empire: A History of China to 1600\, Negotiating Daily Life in Traditional China\, Voyages in World History (coauthor)\, and\, just published in the summer of 2012\, The Silk Road: A New History. In the past decade\, she has spent three years in China: 2005-06 in Shanghai on a Fulbright grant; and 2008-09 and 2011-12\, teaching at Yale’s joint undergraduate program with Peking University. She was the principal investigator\, from 1995 to 1998\, of The Silk Road Project: Reuniting Turfan’s Scattered Treasures. The project held three international conferences and compiled a bilingual Chinese-English finding guide to over 3\,000 artifacts. \nPhi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program\nThe Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program makes available each year a dozen or so distinguished scholars who will visit colleges and universities with chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. They spend two days on each campus\, meeting informally with students and faculty members\, taking part in classroom discussions\, and giving a public lecture open to the entire academic community. The purpose of the program is to contribute to the intellectual life of the institution by making possible an exchange of ideas between the Visiting Scholars and the resident faculty and students. Now entering its 57th year\, the Visiting Scholar Program has sent 600 Scholars on 4\,917 two-day visits since it was established in 1956. Founded in 1776\, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest academic honor society. It has chapters at 280 institutions and more than half a million members throughout the country. Its mission is to champion education in the liberal arts and sciences\, to recognize academic excellence\, and to foster freedom of thought and expression. \nThe History Department is co-sponsoring her talk with the campus chapter of Phi Beta Kappa\, for whom she is a Visiting Scholar. \nhm 2/20/13 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-silk-road-a-new-history/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130402T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130402T000000 DTSTAMP:20260506T214350 CREATED:20150928T112846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112846Z UID:10001872-1364860800-1364860800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Making of Global Capitalism DESCRIPTION:The all-encompassing embrace of world capitalism at the beginning of the twenty-first century was generally attributed to the superiority of competitive markets. Globalization had appeared to be the natural outcome of this unstoppable process. But today\, with global markets roiling and increasingly reliant on state intervention to stay afloat\, it has become clear that markets and states aren’t straightforwardly opposing forces.\nIn this groundbreaking work\, Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin demonstrate the intimate relationship between modern capitalism and the American state\, including its role as an “informal empire” promoting free trade and capital movements. Through a powerful historical survey\, they show how the US has superintended the restructuring of other states in favor of competitive markets and coordinated the management of increasingly frequent financial crises. \nThe Making of Global Capitalism\, through its highly original analysis of the first great economic crisis of the twenty-first century\, identifies the centrality of the social conflicts that occur within states rather than between them. These emerging fault lines hold out the possibility of new political movements transforming nation states and transcending global markets. \nLeo Panitch\, Distinguished Research Professor of Political Science\, York University\, has edited The Socialist Register since 1985. Sam Gindin\, was for many years Research Director of the Canadian Auto Workers. \nSponsored by the The Center for the Study of Work\, Labor\, and Democracy.

Her talk assesses the role of institutional mechanisms in generating technological knowledge spillovers. The estimation is over panel datasets of federal patent grants\, and innovations that were granted prizes at annual industrial fairs of the American Institute of New York\, between 1835 and 1870. One part of the talk tests the hypothesis of spatial autocorrelation in patenting and in the exhibited innovations. In keeping with the contract theory of patents\, the procedure identifies high and statistically significant spatial autocorrelation\, indicating the prevalence of geographical spillovers in the sample of inventions that were patented. The second part of the talk investigates whether per capita innovations/prizes in a county were affected by patenting in contiguous or adjacent counties. These results are consistent with the argument that patents enhance the diffusion of information for both patented and unpatented innovations\, whereas inventions that garner prizes are less effective in generating external benefits from knowledge spillovers.

But in recent years historians of Western technology have become less interested in technology as a catalyst of human progress\, and more interested in how technical practices shape social identities\, symbolic systems and power relations. In the case of China\, historians of technology likewise spend less time now struggling to explain why China “failed to progress” after 1400\, asking instead what they can learn by mapping the technological landscapes of imperial China\, and by considering what social and symbolic as well as material work technologies performed in imperial society.\nDr. Francesca Bray is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh and President-elect of The Society for the History of Technology. Her research includes the history of science\, technology and medicine in China\, and the anthropology of technology in the contemporary world\, including the politics of everyday domestic technologies in California.
