SUMMARY:The Burden of Female Talent in Premodern China
DESCRIPTION:The Burden of Female Talent in Premodern China: Early Reactions to Li QingzhaoRonald Egan (EALCS\, UCSB) \nThursday November 13 / 12:00 PM\nHSSB 2252 \nThe most celebrated woman poet in Chinese history\, Li Qingzhao was already famous during her lifetime (1084-1150s).  But while early critics and commentators universally acknowledged her literary talent\, there was also an unmistakable undercurrent of resentment against her\, since such talent was largely considered undesirable in a woman.  This talk examines the ways that Li Qingzhao was praised and criticized by early critics\, as well as the way her personal conduct and misfortune in a second marriage was used against her by her detractors.  Rather than simply to read her as “China’s greatest woman poet\,” the goal here is to reconstruct the mostly hostile cultural context in which she lived and wrote to better gauge the nature of her achievement. \nRonald Egan works on pre-modern Chinese poetry and literary culture of the Tang and Song dynasties.  He teaches courses on Classical Chinese\, poetry\, and Chinese cultural history. \nSponsored by the IHC’s East Asian Cultures RFG \nhm 11/5

SUMMARY:Roman Emperors and the Control of Laughter
DESCRIPTION:Mary Beard\, distinguished Classicist and Roman cultural historian\, is delivering this fall’s Sather Lectures at UC Berkeley. Their topic is “Roman Laughter: What made the Romans laugh?” Was Rome a world of practical jokes\, Bakhtinian\, carnival and hearty chuckles? Or (for the elite\, at least) was it a carefully regulated culture in which the uncontrollable excess of laughter was a force to fear — a world of wit\, irony and knowing smiles? Prof. Beard comes to UCSB to deliver the third lecture in the series\, which focuses on how laughter mediates power: Roman emperors and the control of laughter. Mary Beard is a fellow of Newnham College and Professor of Classics at Cambridge University\, where she earned her doctorate in 1982. She is the author or co- author of over sixty articles and nine books on topics ranging from Greek and Roman religion\, epigraphy\, art history\, social history\, and literature\, to the history of the museum and the reception of Classics in the modern world.\nSponsored by the Departments of Classics\, History\, and Religious Studies\, and by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group. \njwil 11.xi.2008
