SUMMARY:Juan Cobo Betancourt\, "The Coming of the Kingdom: The Muisca\, Catholic Reform\, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada
DESCRIPTION:Book Presentation: “The Coming of the Kingdom: The Muisca\, Catholic Reform\, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada” \nJuan Cobo Betancourt UC Santa Barbara | Associate Professor of History  \nCommentator: Yanna Yannakakis Emory University | Professor of History \nThe Coming of the Kingdom explores the experiences of the Indigenous Muisca peoples of the New Kingdom of Granada (Colombia) during the first century of Spanish colonial rule. Focusing on colonialism\, religious reform\, law\, language\, and historical writing\, Juan F. Cobo Betancourt examines the introduction and development of Christianity among the Muisca\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the center of the invaders’ efforts to transform them into tribute-paying Catholic subjects of the Spanish crown. The book explores how successive generations of missionaries and administrators approached the task of drawing the Muisca peoples to Catholicism at a time when it was undergoing profound changes\, and how successive generations of the Muisca interacted with the practices and ideas that the invaders attempted to impose\, variously rejecting or adopting them\, transforming and translating them\, and ultimately making them their own.

SUMMARY:Juan Cobo Betancourt\, "Christianity\, Colonialism\, & the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes"
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture: Juan Cobo Betancourt\, “Christianity\, Colonialism\, & the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes” \nAlhecama Theatre\, 215 E. Canon Perdido Street\, located in El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park \nFree and open to the public. RSVP to historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu \nHow does colonialism work without a strong colonial state? How does religious conversion work without an effective missionary project? How can historians work with an archive full of fictions? Taking the history of the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes of what is now Colombia\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the centre of efforts by Europeans to transform them into Catholic\, tribute-paying vassals of the Spanish crown\, this talk explores the complex and contradictory ways in which Christianity\, Spanish colonialism\, and Indigenous politics came together to produce a new kind of society to the disappointment of everyone involved. \nJuan Cobo Betancourt is Associate Professor of History and Director\nof the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program and\nCenter for Latin American and Iberian Research at UC Santa\nBarbara. He has written three books on questions of religion\,\nrace\, law\, and language in colonial Latin America.

SUMMARY:Michael Cooperson (UCLA)\, "Towards a New Arabic Literary History"
DESCRIPTION:Towards a new Arabic literary history \nMichael Cooperson\, Professor of Arabic\, NELC\, UCLA\nWhat did pre-modern authors writing in Arabic have to say about their own literary history? Many things\, as it turns out\, most of them non-linear. In this respect\, their accounts differ from the rise-and-fall story later promulgated by European scholars––a story which has now become the dominant one even in the Arab world. \n \nWhat’s next? One way forward\, I propose\, is to draw on non-linear approaches\, both pre-modern and modern––including\, for example\, the late-nineteenth century notion of Kulturgeschichte as applied to the cultural history of Arabic-speaking societies. A new literary history of Arabic––or at least\, the one I am trying to write––should grant equal weight to all periods and regions; should foreground reception\, especially translation\, as a critical part of the story; and should embrace avowedly pedagogical elements such as commentary\, digression\, and above all\, visual explanation. \nThe talk will include a sneak preview of this work in progress; comments and criticism are welcome! I am also very interested in hearing from participants about the state of literary history in their fields of expertise.
