SUMMARY:Hannah Arendt\, On Truth and Lying in Politics
DESCRIPTION:Lecture and discussion with Prof. Susanne Lüdemann (Munich/Rutgers Univ.) \nHannah Arendt (1906 –1975) was a German-born American political theorist. She escaped Europe during the Holocaust\, becoming an American citizen. Her works offer provocative reflections on the conditions of possibility for political experience\, an experience that defines the human condition. Her work is deeply concerned with the questions of nationhood\, totalitarianism\, the status of refugees and stateless persons\, and the political sphere as an autonomous domain of human practice. \nSusannne Lüdemann is the Charlotte M. Craig Distinguished Visiting Professor of German at Rutgers University and is professor of German and Comparative Literature at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich\, Germany. After having received her Ph.D. from the University of Freiburg (Germany)\, she held research and teaching positions at Aarhus University (Denmark)\, at the Freie Universität Berlin\, at the University of Konstanz\, and at the University of Chicago. Her books include: Politics of Deconstruction. A New Introduction to Jacques Derrida (2014); Exemplarity and Singularity: Thinking Through Particulars in Literature\, Philosophy\, and Law (2015)\, co-edited with Michèle Lowrie; Der fiktive Staat. Konstruktionen des politischen Körpers in der Geschichte Europas (co-authored with A. Koschorke\, T. Frank\, E. Matala\, 2007); Metaphern der Gesellschaft. Studien zum soziologischen und politischen Imaginären (2004); Mythos und Selbstdarstellung. Zur Poetik der Psychoanalyse (1994). Susanne Lüdemann works at the intersection of modern literature\, continental philosophy\, political theory\, and psychoanalysis. Her current research project is a critical edition of Hannah Arendts’s unpublished lectures on Immanuel Kant. She is also preparing a monograph on Hannah Arendt and the Problem of Judgment in Modernity. The seminar will begin with a short presentation by Dr. Lüdemann\, after which we will discuss the following texts by Hannah Arendt: \n\n“Lying in Politics: Reflections on the Pentagon Papers\,” in: Crises of the Republic (1972)\, pp. 1-47 https://monoskop.org/images/7/70/Arendt_Hannah_Crises_of_the_Republic.pdf\n“Truth and Politics”\, The New Yorker\, Feb. 25\, 1967\, https://idanlandau.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/arendt-truth-and-politics.pdf

SUMMARY:Marriage and Ritual Performance among the Servants of the Babylonian Gods
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Bastian Still\, Leiden University \nWith more than 50\,000 legal-administrative cuneiform tablets\, the so-called Neo-\nBabylonian Period (c. 625-484 BCE) is one of the best-documented periods in the\nhistory of Mesopotamia\, the region between Tigris and Euphrates. Unfortunately\,\nthis invaluable and very rich material rarely finds use in wider social-historical\ndiscourses\, as cuneiform specialists still engage predominantly in conventional\ninvestigations of philological\, juridical and economic nature. Attempts to further the\nfield of Assyriology by providing much needed social perspectives are still strikingly\nmissing with the result that the complex fabric of this ancient society as a whole\nremains a poorly understood subject of research – this is particularly obvious in the\nstudy of Babylonian marriage. \nThis talk presents a novel approach to marriage in Babylonian society of the\nmid-first millennium BCE\, based on a combination of social network analysis\,\nsociological theory and anthropological studies.  Focusing on priests in the city of Borsippa\, \nthe talk reveals how marriage practices helped shape not only the social order of the community but also the daily cult activities of the temple of Borsippa.

SUMMARY:Let us go upon the Acropolis: John Wesley Gilbert in Greece\, September 1890-April 1891
DESCRIPTION:Talk by John W.I. Lee\, UCSB History Department \n \nJohn Wesley Gilbert (ca. 1863-1923) was born in Hephzibah\, Georgia. He attended Paine College (Augusta\, Georgia)\, then received his BA from Brown University in 1888. He was the third African American to graduate from Brown. As a Brown MA student in 1890-1891\, Gilbert became the first African American to attend the fledgling American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA). The ASCSA was founded in 1881 by a group of scholars from Brown\, Columbia\, Harvard\, Yale\, and other American colleges as a research and teaching center for Greek archaeology\, literature\, and history. \nDrawing on Gilbert’s own writings and other contemporary documents\, this talk examines the historical significance of Gilbert’s time in Greece. During his year as a student at the American School\, Gilbert traveled throughout Greece\, wrote a thesis on the demes (political subdivisions) of ancient Athens\, and took part in the ASCSA’s excavations at the ancient city of Eretria. \nAfter studying in Greece\, Gilbert returned to the U.S. to teach at Paine College in Augusta\, Georgia. He was a leader in the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church (now Christian Methodist Episcopal Church) and was an important voice for African American education and for racial equality and harmony in the U.S. \nThis talk is part of the ‘Black Classicism’ lecture series presented in conjunction with the “14 Black Classicists” exhibition hosted by the AD&A Museum and the UCSB Library.  The lecture is co-sponsored by the Argyropoulos Endowment in Hellenic Studies\, and the departments of Classics and Black Studies.
