SUMMARY:The Deccani Trails of the St Andrews Qur'an Manuscript - Lecture by Dr. Keelan Overton
DESCRIPTION:Shortly after its production in Safavid Tabriz or Herat\, the single-volume Quran manuscript known as the “St Andrews Quran” traveled east to the Deccan region of southern India and circulated between four courtly contexts over the next two hundred years. The evidence for this dynamic life history is found in the codex itself\, and this talk summarizes the findings of a multi-year interdisciplinary archaeological excavation of the manuscript. Weaving between the object\, archive\, and political realities of the Deccan sultanates\, Mughal court\, and Tipu Sultan\, I consider how the St Andrews Quran inspires the writing of ground-based art histories that challenge prevailing taxonomies. \nThis event is organized by the King Abdul Aziz In Saud Chair in Islamic Studies.

SUMMARY:Onontio’s Reward: When Louis XIV’s head hung from Native American necks
DESCRIPTION:French royal medals crossed into a radically different cultural context when awarded to the Amerindian people of Canada in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. So it may come as a surprise that the symbolic potential of these medals was only fully realized by the indigenous warriors that they were gifted to. These small sculptures\, designed in emulation of ancient Roman coins\, are quintessentially Western objects designed to function as instruments of communication across spatial\, cultural and temporal divides. Small in scale and easily transported; relatively inexpensive\, depending on the material from which they were made; produced in large quantities—they had the potential to convey messages far and wide. \nThe guest lecture examines the fate of the Louis XIV Royal Family medal awarded to Amerindian allies. To Algonquin and Iroquois speaking warriors the king was Onontio\, the great mountain\, a father to their people. The concept of family that this medal represents thus functions an allegory for the bond between the King of France and his subjects; a powerful ideological message for those living in French colonies far from the center of empire. The positive reception of these medals by the Indigenous supporters of the French colonists reveals the shifting talismanic and political power that these objects could carry across surprisingly diverse cultural contexts. Functioning like the ornaments worn by Indigenous people for centuries before the arrival of European settlers\, French royal medals were endowed with new symbolic power by the First Nations people of Canada. \nRobert Wellington is a senior lecturer at the Centre for Art history and Art Theory at the Australian National University. His research focuses on the role of material culture in history making and cross-cultural exchange in ancien régime France. Robert Wellington’s monograph Antiquarianism and the Visual Histories of Louis XIV: Artifacts For a Future Past\, explores the place of medals in the project of documenting the history of Louis XIV for posterity.

SUMMARY:The Politics of Rights and The 1911 Revolution in China\, a talk by Xiaowei Zheng
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism\, and the State (His 291) is pleased to present Xiaowei Zheng\, Associate Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies at UCSB\, who will speak about her forthcoming book with Stanford University Press\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China.  The appointment is Friday May 19th from 3:00 to 4:30 pm\, in HSSB 3001E. \nProfessor Zheng’s presentation will focus on her books’ introduction and conclusions\, which can downloaded from the following links:  Zheng Introduction_coded_ED Feb 3 2017\, Zheng Conclusion_coded_ED Feb 3 2017 \nChina’s 1911 Revolution was a momentous political transformation. Its leaders\, however\, were not rebellious troublemakers on the periphery of imperial order. On the contrary\, they were a powerful political and economic elite deeply entrenched in local society and well-respected both for their imperially sanctioned cultural credentials and for their mastery of new ideas. The revolution they spearheaded produced a new\, democratic political culture that enshrined national sovereignty\, constitutionalism\, and the rights of the people as indisputable principles. Based upon previously untapped Qing and Republican sources\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China is a nuanced and colorful chronicle of the revolution as it occurred in local and regional areas. Xiaowei Zheng explores the ideas that motivated the revolution\, the popularization of those ideas\, and their animating impact on the Chinese people at large. The focus of the book is not on the success or failure of the revolution\, but rather on the transformative effect that revolution has on people and what they learn from it. \nFor questions about this event please contact Prof. Cecilia Méndez at mendez@history.ucsb.edu.

SUMMARY:Nicole De Silva\, History UCSB\, "Fashioning Chinese America Cultural Citizenship and the Transpacific Boycott of Japanese Silk Stockings\, 1937-1940”
DESCRIPTION:The Commerce\, Commodities and Material Culture Research Cluster will be hosting its first paper workshop this year to discuss Nicole De Silva’s paper “Fashioning Chinese America Cultural Citizenship and the Transpacific Boycott of Japanese Silk Stockings\, 1937-1940.”\n\nThe paper positions the Japanese silk stocking boycott of 1937-1941 as a staging ground that fostered the development of a Chinese American cultural and political identity in the midst of the Exclusion Era. It tells a story unbound by US national borders to demonstrate how contact and collaboration between US/ Chinese residents enabled boycott participants to articulate their biculturalism\, perform their image of modernity\, and find their political voices. By fitting this movement into larger historical disputes around trade\, diplomatic policy\, labor politics\, and US anti-fascism\, the project suggests that the debate over the buying and selling of Japanese silk hosiery was more than it might have “seamed.”\n\nPlease read the paper before coming to the workshop.  It is available here: NDS Silk Stockings Fall 2017 Revisions
