SUMMARY:Latex and Blood: Science\, Markets\, and American Empire
DESCRIPTION:The Lawrence Badash Distinguished Lecture\nSponsored by the Lawrence Badash Speakers’ Fund and hosted by the UCSB Center for Science in Society \nDuring the 20th century\, the United States developed a unique kind of empire\, one bound together less by military conquest and direct political administration than by the expansion of markets\, corporate influence\, and cultural exchange. The political and economic ties between the United States and the Republic of Liberia\, cemented in the 1920s when the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company successfully established a major rubber plantation in the country\, exemplify this new imperial relationship. Yet\, the transformation of Liberia into America’s rubber empire depended on new tools of seeing and new forms of scientific and medical expertise. Through a focus on the Harvard African Expedition to Liberia in 1926\, the motion picture record it gathered\, and the place of rubber as a precious commodity in the global economy\, Prof. Mitman’s talk will investigate the relationships between science\, business\, and the state in the economic transformation of nature and a nation. \nGregg Mitman is William Coleman Professor of the History of Science and professor of medical history and science and technology studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he also serves as Interim Director of the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. His most recent books include Reel Nature: America’s Romance with Wildlife on Film\, 2d ed. (2009) and Breathing Space: How Allergies Shape Our Lives and Landscapes (2007). \nThis event is free and open to the public. The UCSB History Associates and the Department of History will co-host a reception following Prof. Mitman’s lecture. \njwil 08.ii.2010

SUMMARY:"The Ugly American" (1963)
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cold War Studies and International History (CCWS) will  be showing the 1963 film “The Ugly American\,” based on William  Lederer’s and Eugene Burdick’s bestselling novel of the same name\,  which was first published in 1958.\nProf. Salim Yaqub will offer commentary and lead a Q & A session after the movie. \nHarrison Carter MacWhite (Marlon Brando) is the new U.S. ambassador to  Sarkhan\, an imaginary country in Southeast Asia.  Sarkhan is wracked  by nationalist ferment\, which MacWhite initially attributes to  communist subversion.  Eventually\, however\, MacWhite comes see that  the politics of Sarkhan are far more complex than he realized\, and  that even well-intentioned U.S. policies can alienate the very people  they are designed to help.  Released in 1963\, the film uncannily  foreshadows the U.S. debacle in Vietnam. \nhm 2/16/10

SUMMARY:Cultural Diffusion Across Eurasia\, 500 BC-AD 200
DESCRIPTION:The transmission of a vast number of art motifs\, technologies\, and cultural traits from West to East in prehistoricperiod was due to the speed of communications and trading networks across the Eurasian Steppes beginning in the\nsecond millennium B.C.. The formation of larger territorial states\, nomadic confederations and empires (such as the Xiongnu) beginning in the first millennium BCE also facilitated these transmissions\, which before then had mostly consisted of sporadic\, cultural diffusion between the Western borders and China’s Inner Asian frontier. In this talk Prof. Barbieri-Low examines four case studies of cultural transmission\, which date from between 500 BCE to around 200 CE: glass eye-beads\, Chinese patterned silks\, Roman silver plate\, and the Ionic capital. Prof. Barbieri-Low investigates not necessarily how these features were diffused or by what route\, but how the indigenous societies chose to adapt (or not to adapt) new ideas and technologies according to their pre-existing cultural preferences and repertoires. \nSponsored by the IHC Archaeology Research Focus Group and the East Asian Cultures Research Focus Group. \njwil 20.ii.2010
