SUMMARY:A Wicked War: Polk\, Clay\, Lincoln and the 1846 Invasion of Mexico
DESCRIPTION:The U.S.· Mexican War featured false starts\, atrocities\, and daring back·channel negotiations as it divided the nation and paved the way for the\nCivil War a generation later. Penn State University Professor Amy\nGreenberg provides skilled storytelling and rigorous scholarship as she\nbrings this American war to life with memorable characters\, plotlines\,\nand legacies. In A Wicked War\, Dr. Greenberg offers a view into the\nworld that the war made\, a war that brought the United States more than\none·third of its territory\, a new border and a Mexican American popula·\ntion that would come to demand equal rights. It was a defining moment\nin America’s past\, and she reminds us of this with her gripping account. \nIn July Prof. Greenberg’s book on the Mexican  War won the best book prize given by the Society of Historians of  the Early American Republic in St. Louis. It was also one  of five contenders for the Los Angeles Times history book award in April 2013. This book is a skillful blend of the arguments and deceptions  that launched the U.S. into its first preemptive war told via a  narrative focus on biography of 4 the or 5 key people on different ends of those arguments (including a young Abe Lincoln\, and Mrs. Polk  along with her husband). \nProf. Greenberg is a Santa Barbara native who studied at Berkeley and Harvard\, and now holds an endowed chair at Penn State.  \nPresented by the Santa Barbara ‘Crust for Histor ic Preservation\,\nCo·sponsored by the UCSB History Associates. \nPresidio Chapel\, EI Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park\n123 East Canon Perdido Street\, Santa Barbara\, CA\nFree for SBTHP Members\, SI 0 Non-Members\, $5 Students\nFor more information visit www.sbthp.org or call (805) 965-0093 \nhm 7/23/13

SUMMARY:The Style is the – Empire. Caesar's Writing Reevaluated
DESCRIPTION:Caesar’s style has been admired for its stringency and simplicity–and to the detriment of a fuller appreciation of its complexities. His classic texts are worth a second glance. They reveal not only far greater debts to the administrative language of the Roman Empire than previously assumed (hence the title) but also a good number of extremely rare words\, including hapax legomena\, which may allow for a look into the smithery of the Latin Language of the 1st century BCE. Was Caesar himself a wordsmith?\nSponsored by the Classics Department with co-sponsorship from the History Department. \njwil 08.ix.2013

SUMMARY:Namibia's Red Line: On the History of a Fence in Southern Africa
DESCRIPTION:A massive fence\, more than two metres high\, stretching over a thousand kilometres from East to West effectively separates the southwest African region into two parts. The fence\, generally known as the Red Line\, is a persistent legacy of South Africa’s colonial occupation of Namibia. Its construction in the 1960s marked the end of a long border building process\, which had its beginning in the late 19th century and was linked to the establishment of colonial control in Namibia.\nThrough its long history this colonial border was always both\, imagined and real and it was only with the erection of the fence that the border became a tangible physical reality. The study of the Red Line reveals that this internal border\, conceived as a veterinarian medicine and settlement development\, was far more determinative of the governmentality and socio-economic structure of the country than its external borders. \nThe Red Line was crucial for the establishment of a settler society in Namibia. As a pivotal device of the South African empire\, the border functioned conceptually and ideologically as a ‘barbarian border’ drawn against the dangers of inner Africa\, physically marking the limits of ‘white’ South Africa. \nThe presentation gives an introduction to the history of an internal African border. It will highlight some of the key-elements of the making of this border\, point to the border’s inherent paradoxes between impermeability and vibrant border traffic\, and sketch elements of its long-lasting legacy. The presentation will also address challenges in the work with various textual\, visual\, and oral sources\, and critically reflect on the colonial archive’s narration of the Red Line. \nDr. Giorgio Miescher is Marie Curie Research Fellow at the Centre for African Studies\, University of Basel\, Switzerland. \nThis talk is co-sponsored by the African Studies Research Focus Group and the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group.

SUMMARY:Films of the Cold War: "Lady Bug\, Lady  Bug" (1963)
DESCRIPTION:The  Center for Cold war Studies and International History (CCWS) will kick  off the new year by showing the classic 1963 film “Lady Bug\, Lady  Bug\,” about the impact of an urgent nuclear alert on a rural American  school.  (See description below).  After the screening\,\nKenneth Hough\, a PhD student in  history at UCSB\, will lead a brief discussion of the film. \nThe film showing is free and open to the public; delicious  refreshments will be served.  Please join us for this exciting event! \nIn this classic 1963 film\, a school’s civil defense warning system is  activated\, signaling the onset of nuclear war.  The principal closes  the school and instructs the teachers to escort the students to their  homes.  Amid mounting dread–made all the more haunting by the film’s  quiet\, rural setting–the children try to comprehend the looming  catastrophe\, and to make sense of a world that could unleash it. \nhm 10/6/13

SUMMARY:Data Sharing: A Problem of Supply or of Demand?
DESCRIPTION:On October 25 at 2PM\, Prof. Christine Borgman from UCLA will be speaking about how the sharing of research data affects scientific practice. Her talk is the Social Sciences and Media Studies Building\, Room 2135\nAbstract\nKnowledge sharing in science includes sharing research data. Research funding agencies have focused on increasing the supply of data by requiring data management plans and data sharing. Policy makers have paid surprisingly little attention to the demand for data. It stands to reason that if scholars actively sought data for reuse\, then more data would be shared. The few studies that exist on the demand for extant data suggest that researchers rarely are asked for their data and rarely seek data from other investigators. Many investigators have difficulty imagining who might want their data or for what purposes they might be useful. The talk will explore the supply and demand for scientific data reuse\, drawing on studies in astronomy and sensor networks\, and will discuss implications for science policy. \n About the Speaker\nChristine L. Borgman is Professor and Presidential Chair in Information Studies at UCLA. In 2012-13 she was on sabbatical at the University of Oxford where she was the Oliver Smithies Visiting Fellow and Lecturer at Balliol College\, and also affiliated with the Oxford Internet Institute and the eResearch Centre.

SUMMARY:Models\, Idols\, and Porn Stars: Selling and Consuming the Beautiful Man in Britain\, 1950s-1970s
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines physique pictorial magazines\, magazines intended for a female teenage audience\, and gay pornographic magazines—to illustrate how celebrations of beautiful male faces and bodies functioned as important and ubiquitous sites of pleasure in post-war Britain. Men and women utilized images and textual descriptions of masculine facial and bodily attractiveness to articulate sexual desires and identities in the years after 1945. Through a close reading of a range of pictures and articles from several physique pictorials including Male Model Monthly\, Man Alive\, Boyfriend and Him Exclusive this paper illustrates the connections between understandings of masculine physical attractiveness\, post-World War II consumer cultures\, and the formation of British social identities.\nPaul R. Deslandes received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto and is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of History at the University of Vermont. He is the author of Oxbridge Men: British Masculinity and the Undergraduate Experience\, 1850-1920 (Bloomington\, 2005) and a number of articles and essays on the history of British education\, masculinity\, and male sexuality. Deslandes is  currently writing a cultural history of male beauty in Britain from the 1840s to the present. \nSponsored by the Dept. of History\, the Dept. of Feminist Studies\, The Center for Modern Literature\, Materialism and Aesthetics\, and the IHC’s New Sexualities RFG. \nMore Information from the IHC. \n?? before 10/15/13; hm

SUMMARY:Empire\, Authority\, and Autonomy in the Achaemenid Persian Empire
DESCRIPTION:The Achaemenid Persian Empire (ca. 550-330 BCE) stretched over thousands of miles and included many different cultures.  Thanks to textual\, visual\, and archaeological materials\, we can reconstruct some of the intricate and sophisticated ways this empire governed its diverse population and the ways those individuals and cultures responded to imperial presence.  This talk examines government archives\, palaces adorned with relief sculptures\, eating and drinking practices\, gender relations\, mortuary remains\, and communication systems — including the original “Pony Express” — to illuminate the complexity and vibrancy of Achaemenid Persia.\nElspeth Dusinberre is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. \nSponsored by the UCSB Departments of History and Anthropology in conjunction with the Santa Barbara Society of the Archaeological Institute of America. \njwil 06.x.2013

SUMMARY:Arming Mother Nature: The Birth of Catastrophic Environmentalism
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the annual Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture. This year’s guest speaker will be Jacob Darwin Hamblin; his talk will be drawn from his new and acclaimed book Arming Mother Nature. A description of the talk and information about the speaker is below. The talk will be held November 7\, 2013 7:00 PM at the Loma Pelona Conference Center on the UCSB campus. Parking is available in Parking Lot 23 near the UCSB Faculty Club.\nWhen most Americans think of environmentalism\, they think of the political left\, of vegans dressed in organic-hemp fabric\, lofting protest signs. In reality\, the movement–and its dire predictions–owe more to the Pentagon than the counterculture. In his talk\,  Hamblin argues that military planning for World War III essentially created “catastrophic environmentalism”: the idea that human activity might cause global natural disasters. This awareness emerged out of dark ambitions\, as governments poured funds into environmental science after World War II\, searching for ways to harness natural processes–to kill millions of people. Hamblin explains the history of how the Cold War coincided with and catalyzed the birth of modern environmental science. Along the way\, we see how Cold War scientists\, driven initially by strategic imperatives\, learned to think globally and to grasp humanity’s power to alter the environment. \nAbout the Speaker:\nThe author of Arming Mother Nature and other books\, Jacob Darwin Hamblin writes about the history and politics of science\, technology\, and environmental issues.  He was born in Germany and grew up on or near American military bases\, before going to college and graduate school in California\, where he earned a Ph.D. in History at UC Santa Barbara. As an adult he has lived and worked in France\, England\, and several universities in the United States. His work has appeared in the New York Times\, Salon\, and many publications devoted to the history of science\, technology\, and the natural world. He currently resides in the American Pacific Northwest\, where he is an associate professor of history at Oregon State University.
