SUMMARY:Does it Take More Courage to be a Cybernetician Than to be a Gunman?
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Medina’s  research deals with the adoption of computer technologies in Latin America\, especially cybernetics in Allende’s Chile.\nFrom 1971 to 1973 Chilean and British engineers\, working under the direction of the pioneering British cybernetician Stafford Beer\, built a computer network to help make Chile’s socialist revolution a reality. The team called the system Cybersyn. It is arguably the most ambitious application of cybernetic ideas to date. In this talk Professor Medina will present material from her forthcoming book Cybernetic Socialism\, which tells the history of Project Cybersyn. She will argue that this unusual case study broadens our historical understanding of computers\, cybernetics\, and revolution. She will then discuss how this history has inspired members of the art community and present her own work transforming the Cybersyn story into an installation at ZKM Center for Digital Art and Media in Karlsruhe\, Germany. \nProf. Medina received her Ph.D. in 2005 from the MIT Doctoral Program in the History and Social Studies of Science and Technology and holds degrees in electrical engineering and women’s studies from Princeton University. Medina’s research uses technology as a means to understand historical processes. Her recent work addressed the history of information technologies in Latin America and the role these technologies played in creating new forms of governance and the advancement of state ideological projects. \nSponsored by the Department of Media\, Arts and Technology and the Arts Research Initiative. \nhm 5/13/10

SUMMARY:The Old Tibetan Chronicle and the Origins of Tibetan Narrative History
DESCRIPTION:A manuscript of the Old Tibetan Chronicle found in the cave library ofDunhuang represents one of the earliest attempts at Tibetan narrative\nhistory. The author-compilers draw on Tibetan inscriptions\, Indian epics\,\nChinese histories\, Tibetan ritual literature\, and a legacy of composition\nin performance and song to create a narrative of Tibet’s imperial period\n(c.600-866). This talk will explore the sources for the Old Tibetan\nChronicle and consider its legacy in later Tibetan traditions. \nsponsored by the UCSB Religious Studies and History Departments \nhm 5/4/10

SUMMARY:Evaluating Agricultural Strategies in Ancient Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:“Risk\, sustainability\, and decision making: evaluating agricultural strategies in ancient Anatolia”\nIdentifying how ancient societies made decisions regarding agricultural land use is important for understanding why some pre-industrial agricultural systems flourished and others collapsed. Local environmental and cultural factors influence how people balance goals of short-term profitability and long-term sustainability in agricultural decision making. The ancient city of Gordion\, in central Turkey\, offers rich paleoethnobotanical\, zooarchaeological\, and phytogeographic evidence for coincident changes in landscape and agricultural practices over a period of 2500 years. Marston argues that climate change and shifts in political and economic networks led inhabitants of Gordion to utilize different land-use strategies over time\, which had broad implications for the long-term sustainability of agriculture in the region. \nJohn Marston is a PhD candidate at the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology\, UCLA. \njwil 12.v.2010
