There is no record of how many families where relocated\, and only few anthropological accounts followed these processes\, They all agreed in describing these relocations as ethnocidal\, and that the languages were in risk of disappearing. Half a century after the relocations\, contrary to what was predicted\, we find linguistic communities of Mazatecos\, Chinantecos\, Nahuas and Zapotecos in the region of southern Veracruz. Due to their lack of territory\, language has become a determinant factor in the reproduction of identity and the social\, economical and political organization of these communities. In this presentation we discus some of these communities and the conditions under which their languages have persisted. \nhm 2/7/11\, 2/13 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/language-vitality-in-southern-mexico-histories-of-forced-relocations/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110216T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110216T000000 DTSTAMP:20260430T075618 CREATED:20150928T112825Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112825Z UID:10001918-1297814400-1297814400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Solvang Past and Present DESCRIPTION:Solvang’s particular Danishness has evolved in step with the American twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. An emphasis on tourism has both preserved and distorted the heritage that fueled the community’s origin. By looking at the details of Solvang’s architecture and objects\, we learn what lures recreational shoppers from around the world. Interviews with Solvang’s residents reveal points of view on a cultural production that packages Danish traditions with a dependence on a Latino workforce. Esther Jacobsen Bates will discuss the history of Solvang and how it became the Danish enclave it is today. Ethan Turpin will share short films on his hometown and what he learned in the process of documenting its cultural space.See Solvang presentation page. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Local Places and Geographies of Place series. \nAbout the Local Places Series\nHow did Solvang become Danish? How did Santa Barbara become California’s first Hollywood? How did Isla Vista become home to one of the most distinguished artists’ presses? Join the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center as we delve into these and other fascinating regional histories in our talks on Local Places.\nFor more information\, please visit: http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/series/local-places/ URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/solvang-past-and-present/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110217T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110217T000000 DTSTAMP:20260430T075618 CREATED:20150928T112825Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112825Z UID:10001915-1297900800-1297900800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Career and Influence of Apple Computer's CEO\, Steve Jobs DESCRIPTION:When Apple Computer recently announced that CEO Steve Jobs wastaking a medical leave\, its stock dropped 5 per cent in one day and\npundits began to speculate about the company’s future.
