SUMMARY:Hail the Maintainers! or - How to Give Up the Innovation Fetish (Prof. Lee Vinsel)
DESCRIPTION:Hail the Maintainers! or – How to Give Up the Innovation Fetish \nJoin us for a talk by Prof. Lee Vinsel\, Stevens Institute of Technology – 16 February 2017 in HSSB 4080 at 4PM \nOur culture is obsessed with innovation. Innovation is thought to be the goal of business\, policy-making\, philanthropy\, education\, even play. Yet\, the vast majority of human activity aims not at creating or adopting innovative things but in maintaining old ones. While our society celebrates Innovators\, the simple truth is that most of us are Maintainers. This talk first traces the rise of innovation-speak in the USA. The Cult of Invention that developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries laid the foundation\, but rise of the word “innovation” itself was a distinctly post-World War II phenomenon. Ironically\, the term was used more and more after 1970—and particularly after 1990—when the United States experienced low economic growth and fewer meaningful innovations than in the previous hundred years. \nInnovation-speak was a reaction to and antidote for economic malaise\, and all institutions\, including universities\, were to be reformed in its name. After laying out this history\, I will put forward an alternative view of human life with technology\, drawing on a tradition of thought\, including historians like Ruth Schwartz Cowan and David Edgerton. I will conclude by exploring the consequences of this more grounded view of technology and society for both the future of historical and social scientific technology studies and for policy-making. \nThis talk is co-sponsored with the Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG \nA flyer for Lee’s talk is here.

SUMMARY:Professor Ann Little (Colorado State University) - The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright: Communities of Women in the Northeast Borderlands.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Prof. Ann Little who will be speaking about her new book\, The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright: Communities of Women in the Northeast Borderlands. \n \nEsther Wheelwright (1696-1780) embodies the imperial conquest of North America like no other eighteenth-century figure\, yet she has been largely written out of the story of American history. Born and raised to age seven in a New England garrison town\, she was taken in wartime by the Wabanaki in 1703 and taught to pray as a Catholic and to live like a Native girl. At age twelve\, she was enrolled in the Ursuline convent school as a student\, where she would remain for the rest of her life as a choir nun\, eventually becoming the first and only foreign-born Mother Superior of the order. Learn why she has been forgotten\, and what remembering her can teach us. \n\nThis talk is sponsored by the Slavery\, Captivity\, and Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Talk by Prof Rui Kohiyama on American Women Missionaries and Romantic Love in Meiji Japan
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in welcoming Professor Rui Kohiyama (American and Gender Studies\, Tokyo Woman’s Christian University) to UCSB. Professor Kohiyama will give a talk on “American Woman Missionaries\, Christian Homes\, and Romantic Love in Meiji Japan.” American women missionaries are well known for their educational and reformatory intervention in various mission fields in Asia. Although their initiatives in criticizing child marriage and widowhood in india and foot-binding in China are famous\, those in Japan are vague: all we have been told is that they introduced “modern education for women” in Japan. This presentation will clarify the relationship between “modern education for women” and the missionary aim of creating Christian homes\, and point out the unexpected outcome of  missionary education: nurturing “romantic love” in mission schools. \nProfessor Rui Kohiyama is author of As Our god Along Will Lead Us: The Nineteenth-Century American Women’s Foreign Missionary Enterprise and its Encounter with Meiji Japan (in Japanese\, 1992) and co-editor/co-author of Introduction to the History of Gender in the United States (in Japanese\, 2010).

SUMMARY:Five Centuries of Mortality: The Second Plague Pandemic in Comparative Perspective\, Egypt\, 1347 - 1844 CE  Stuart Borsch (Assumption College)
DESCRIPTION:This talk will analyze the impact of the Second plague pandemic in Egypt (1347-1844 CE). The Second plague pandemic refers to the long series of epidemics that struck the Middle East and Europe\, starting with the Black Death\, 1347-1351 CE. This pandemic generally lasted until the early 1700s in Europe\, but longer in the Middle East. Why was this? Professor Borsch explores this question and the possible connection to the economic and technological divergence between Europe and the Middle East between the 1300s and 1800s. Borsch also takes a comparative perspective\, looking at the dynamics of this long-term catastrophe by studying the mortality of the urban (Cairo\, Alexandria\, Qus\, Asyut) and rural plague outbreaks in the Mamluk and Ottoman periods and into the modern period\, 1347-1844. His talk will include some comparative perspectives with Syrian population losses. \nCo-sponsored by the King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud Chair in Islamic Studies and the Center for Middle East Studies

SUMMARY:Prof. Cavan Concannon (USC): "An Assemblage Approach to Early Christianity\, Deleuze\, Latour\, and the Letters of Dionysios of Corinth"
DESCRIPTION:Modern historians map the diversity of early Christianity in a variety of ways\, from declines into heresy to competition among “varieties” of early Christianities. Drawing particularly on the philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze and Bruno Latour\, Concannon argues that  we might better map the remains of second-century Christianity by focusing on networks of people\, ideas\, and letters that moved along broader patterns of trade and communication in the eastern Mediterranean. Focusing on the costs\, velocities\, and viscosities of movement and commerce\, he examines the network associated with Dionysios of Corinth\, whose writings come to us only as fragments and summaries in Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History. Concannon shows how non-human actants such as geography\, economic activity\, and trade routes shape the interactions within Dionysios’ network\, allowing us to think more broadly about second-century Christianity as a series of emergent networks that form\, coalesce\, and dissolve in the flow of movement and connectivity that characterized the Roman Mediterranean. Sponsored by the Ancient Borderlands RFG.
