SUMMARY:Kevin Dawson\, Associate Professor of History\, University of California\, Merced “Surfing\, Surf-Canoeing\, and the Atlantic Slave Trade”
DESCRIPTION:Atlantic Africa—the region extending from Senegal to Angola—has few natural harbors\, compelling Africans to cross through surf to reach fisheries and coastal shipping lanes.  Sources suggest that one thousand years ago Africans independently developed surfing to understand how to design and surf waves ashore in surf-canoes loaded with fish cargo.  Today\, Atlantic Africans remain the only people to harness wave energy as part of their daily labor practices.  Even as Europeans crossed oceans\, their rowboats were too slow to navigate African surf-zones\, and routinely capsized.  Hence\, surf-canoemen transported most of the goods imported into and exported out of Africa between ship-and-shore\, including the majority of the twelve million captives shipped into Atlantic slavery.  This talk considers how African maritime wisdom and expertise informed the cultural and economic development of the Atlantic world. \nZoom: RSVP

SUMMARY:Mika Lior\, Assistant Professor of Performing Arts at the University of Malta\, "Circling With/In: Choreographies of Gendered & Regendered Agency in Bahian Candomblé"
DESCRIPTION:Mika Lior\, Assistant Professor of Performing Arts at the University of Malta\n“Circling With/In: Choreographies of Gendered & Regendered Agency in Bahian Candomblé” \nBased on history\, dance studies methodologies and critical ethnography\, this paper addresses choreographies of invocation and incorporation in the Afro-Brazilian ritual practice of Candomblé through the lens of indigenous feminisms and choreographic analysis. Looking closely at practitioners’ use of circular and cyclical movements and spatial pathways at a range of ceremonial sites in Salvador\, the capital of Bahia in Northeastern Brazil\, I show how Candomblé’s aesthetic principles and matri-focal social structures are similarly informed by what I call a feminist poiesis\, evidenced in ceremonial performance histories that privilege women’s bodies for mediumship. Intervening in the dominant representation of Candomblé’s spirit embodiments as acts of “possession\,” I attend to practitioners’ idioms of incorporation\, including circling with and in the saint –“rodar com o santo” and “rodar no santo\,” – to illustrate how ritual processes are actively constructed around intersubjective\, movement oriented ontologies as well as cycles of women’s reproductivity and Yoruba-Atlantic understandings of gendered agency. At the same time\, processes of incorporation instantiate a non-binary ontology of ritual gender fluidity through which male mediums take on structurally feminized roles. \nThis presentation concludes by considering how performance studies approaches such as choreographic analysis and dance practice under the tutelage of ritual experts can contribute to processes of intercultural knowledge production. I share my ethnographic dance film\, Ogum’s Story\, co-created with Candomblé elder Dona Cici\, as a model for thinking through circling with/in not only as an ontology of spirit embodiment but also a collaborative\, mutually reciprocal research method. \nZoom RSVP Here

SUMMARY:Marc Hertzman\, Associate Professor\, University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign "Flying Home? Palmares and the Afterlife" 
DESCRIPTION:Marc Hertzman\, Associate Professor\, University of Illinois at Urbana – Champaign\nFlying Home? Palmares and the Afterlife  \nMost histories of Palmares\, the sprawling collection of settlements in Brazil that became perhaps history’s largest fugitive slave society\, end in 1695\, when colonial forces assassinated the famous rebel leader Zumbi. My book project plays the story forward into the eighteenth century to propose a new way to think about maroon communities across the Americas. Palmares and other such settlements have rightfully been understood as spaces of diasporic refuge and resistance; but unless descendants can trace their lineage directly back to them\, through land possession or genealogy\, scholars implicitly define them as endpoints: formerly enslaved people either lived out their days there or were recaptured or killed. I advance a new framework that treats maroon communities as points of origin\, capable of generating their own unique diasporas. Along with Palmares’s previously overlooked human diaspora—members who were captured in or fled Palmares—I examine the pathways along which inheritances and memories of Zumbi and Palmares survived after 1695: canonical historical texts; the lives and travels of soldiers who fought against Palmares; soldiers’ claims (most embellished) to killing Zumbi\, which they turned into heritable wealth; previously ignored place names that made elements of the natural landscape memorials to Palmares and Zumbi; and spiritual traditions\, which remain an important locus of history and memory. \nZoom RSVP Here

SUMMARY:Madina Thiam\, Assistant Professor of History\, NYU "Absolutely and Utterly Free: An Atlantic-Saharan Journey through Slavery and Race-Making\, 1834-1836"
DESCRIPTION:This talk follows Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Watara\, a Timbuktu-born teenager who was enslaved in Jamaica from 1805 to 1834. Upon securing his manumission\, Watara undertook a trans-Atlantic and trans-Saharan journey\, in a bid to return home. A close examination of Watara’s words and writings about him\, and a reconstruction of his trajectory\, provides insight into the social and political forces that ushered in deep changes in the worlds of the British Atlantic and Muslim Sahel and Sahara\, in the first half of the nineteenth century. As Watara sought to secure freedom while journeying across the Atlantic and Sahara\, which strategies did he leverage? How did larger political changes in 1820s-1830s Sahel\, Sahara\, and Atlantic render his aspirations to freedom possible\, and how did they restrict them? Scholars have previously written about Watara’s journey and writings by situating his autobiography within the broader genre of transatlantic slave narratives\, and analyzing his trajectory as evidence of the retention of African cultural expressions among enslaved Black Muslims in the Americas. \nThis talk offers a new interpretation of Watara’s articulation and praxis of freedom\, framing them in the broader contexts of the end of chattel slavery in the British Atlantic\, booming trans-Saharan slave trade\, and changing notions of race and enslaveability in the West African Sahel in the era of Islamic revolutions and state-building. \nZoom RSVP \n

SUMMARY:Erin Rowe\, Professor of History\, Johns Hopkins University "The Black Saints of the Carmelite Order: Ancient Ethiopia in the Early Modern European Imagination”
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in the seventeenth-century\, members of the Carmelite order adopted two ancient Ethiopian saints\, Efigenia and Elesban. While their interest in ancient saints was tied to the order’s longstanding efforts to prove the antiquity of their order dating back to the Prophet Elijah\, the inclusion of Ancient Ethiopia in these efforts tell a more complex story about how early modern Spaniards thought with and about Ancient Ethiopia. The inclusion of Ethiopia in early modern ideas about the Biblical Near East clashed with the treatment of enslaved people from West and Central Africa being brought to the peninsula in vast numbers\, while devotion to Ethiopian saints by White and Black Spaniards transformed the spiritual and historical landscape. \n*Co-sponsored by Department of History\, CMRS-CEGS\, The Atlantic History Colloquium\, Peter H. Reill Chair in European Studies\, and The Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies.

SUMMARY:Atlantic History Colloquium: Melissa Morris\, Assistant Professor of History\, University of Wyoming
DESCRIPTION:Pirates which infest that coast’: Illicit Trade and Imperial Rivalry in Seventeenth-Century Western Hispaniola\nThis presentation considers the illicit trade of tobacco and other goods from Western Hispaniola. French\, Dutch\, and English ships came from the 1560s to trade with the diverse groups living there—Indigenous\, Spanish\, and African. In response\, in 1605-6\, western and northwestern Hispaniola and other centers of tobacco cultivation were depopulated. The Spanish forcibly resettled residents\, burned their towns\, and issued a decree banning tobacco cultivation. These harsh measures\, however\, were far from the end of the island’s tobacco trade\, or of interlopers’ presence. Some residents refused to move\, and they were now joined by French and Dutch buccaneers. By 1630\, they had several tobacco plantations in western Hispaniola. This chapter relies upon documents in several languages and from diverse archives to tell the story of the Spanish illicit trade and depopulations\, the subsequent rise of interlopers who were loyal to no empire\, and the eventual takeover of western Hispaniola by the French. \nZoom RSVP

SUMMARY:Chris Willoughby\, "Collected without Consent: Imperialism and Enslavement in Harvard’s Medical Museum."
DESCRIPTION:Nov 1 Chris Willoughby (Huntington Library) \n“Collected without Consent: Imperialism and Enslavement in Harvard’s Medical Museum.” \nCo-sponsored with the Atlantic field \n  \nIn 1847\, upon his retirement\, John Collins Warren gave his entire anatomical collection to Harvard’s medical school\, including a  collection of racial skulls that would grow to include more than 150 objects. In this presentation\, I will specifically analyze how skulls from the Black Atlantic were collected and dubbed “African\,” attempting to erase their individual and cultural identities in favor of their  simple racialization. Specifically\, I will examine the story of two skulls of African descendants\, an unnamed leader from the 1835 Muslim Uprising in Bahia and another of Sturmann\, a Khoe man from Little Namaqua Land who committed suicide in Boston in 1860 while a living exhibit. In telling their stories\, I have two goals. First\, I will posit a method for writing the history of racist museum exhibitions that does not continue the silencing of marginalized peoples displayed in those exhibits. Second\, I argue that medical schools were intimately connected to the violence of slavery and empire. Through giving attention to the experiences of the skulls’ living antecedents though\, I show that hidden in these records are histories of rebellion\, politics\, and survival in the age of empire. \n  \nFor remote participants: \nPlease click here to register and receive a Zoom link \n  \nFor those joining us on campus\, RSVP and symptom monitoring is required.

SUMMARY:Mario Biagioli\, "From Anti Science to Science Mimicry: Inventing Ethics in Trump's EPA."
DESCRIPTION:October 18\, 5 pm Mario Biagioli (UCLA Law and Information Studies) \n(please note the later time) \nThis paper moves from the recent findings of agnotologists (like the book Merchants of Doubt) about the post-WWII strategy by tobacco and oil companies to cast doubt about the scientific evidence concerning\, respectively\, the risks of tobacco smoking and the existence of global warming. I argue that a new chapter of that strategy book was recently articulated in Trump’s EPA. This is a strategy that does not hinge on the production of doubt about the content of scientific knowledge but rather targets and transforms some of the key ethical norms of science (openness\, transparency\, and impartiality)\, effectively turning them against themselves. \n  \nFor remote participants: \nPlease click here to register and receive a Zoom link \n  \nFor those joining us on campus\, RSVP and symptom monitoring is required.

SUMMARY:Degenhart Brown\, “‘Spiritscapes’ as ‘Atlantic Modernities’: Examining the Ritual Pathways of Spirit Possession and ‘Fetish’ Objects in West Africa.”
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation I explore how the dense vectors of material culture and spirit possession established in the crucible of the modern era continue to inform the decisions of millions of west Africans as they navigate everyday realities at home and abroad. In the first half of this talk\, I explore emerging themes in “fetish modernity” theory to demonstrate how\, as mediators of modern history\, “fetish” objects\, through their own semantic and epistemological ambivalence\, have changed the ways in which scholars interpret historical conventions. In the second half\, I look at some examples of the confluence of possession rituals and slavery discourse across contemporary west Africa to illustrate how the relationships between northern and southern “spirits\,” resulting from hinterland slave raids\, inform local interpretations of the ongoing legacies of trans-Atlantic slavery. I conclude by engaging the work of Charles Piot to demonstrate how power objects and ritual acts of possession are in themselves “alternative modernities” that have remained crucial ontological technologies in west Africa due to their capacity to efface national and international efforts to define and control west African lifeworlds. \nZoom RSVP

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Schiffler\, "Snow Eggs: Situated Tastes and Partial Archives"
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Schiffler\, PhD student in Theater and Performance Studies\, UCLA \n“Snow Eggs: Situated Tastes and Partial Archives” \nThis talk traces a history of Snow Eggs\, from its inception in American gastronomic history to a contemporary Los Angeles performance. Beginning with the recipe from 18th century Chef James Hemings\, enslaved to President Jefferson\, a study of Snow Eggs reveals the emerging technologies and relations between French and American gastronomy. Extending to the 2020 dinner series ‘Hemings & Hercules’ created by Chef Martin N. Draluck at Hatchet Hall in Los Angeles centers reenactment as a historical method that reveals historical\, ecological\, and technological entanglements. This talk challenges the dominant culinary narrative of the whiteness of French-American gastronomy\, to position American cookbooks adapting French cuisine to be read\, and performed\, through the legacy of Hemings’ contribution to American foodways. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Barbara Krauthamer\, "Liberty’s Diaspora: Black Women in the Age of the American Revolution"
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Krauthamer\, Professor of History\, UMass Amherst \n“Liberty’s Diaspora: Black Women in the Age of the American Revolution” \nThis presentation examines the lives of three Black women who had been enslaved in the British North American colonies at the time of the American Revolution. The presentation reflects on their lives by considering the ways historians have navigated the archival gaps and silences about Black women’s presence. The presentation follows the women’s voluntary and forced migrations\, their Diasporic routes\, within the Americas and across the Atlantic. This focus on Black women’s routes of resistance\, liberation and deportation adds a new dimension to the more familiar and male dominated stories of slavery\, Black Loyalists and the American Revolution. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Gabriel de Avilez Rocha\, "East Atlantic Crossings in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries"
DESCRIPTION:Gabriel de Avilez Rocha\, Vasco da Gama Assistant Professor of History and Portuguese and Brazilian Studies\, Brown University \n“East Atlantic Crossings in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries” \nAtlantic historians tend to understand transoceanic crossings along an east-west axis\, with people and goods seen as traversing the space between Africa and/or Europe\, on the one hand\, and the Americas\, on the other. Yet in the early decades of the sixteenth century\, even as the broader contours of Atlantic circumnavigation were becoming more evident to members of various maritime communities\, impressions of transoceanic mobility did not yet assume the east-west axis as normative. Frequently traveled thoroughfares linking Seville to the Canaries\, São Tomé to the Azores\, and Cabo Verde to Rouen were themselves widely seen as transoceanic in scope\, even if they hewed to the eastern side of the Atlantic. The weight of tradition lay behind this conventional wisdom. Maritime routes spanning the Gulf of Guinea\, the Atlantic islands\, and Iberia had since the mid-fifteenth century established patterns of voluntary and coerced movement that continued to be integral to an expanding Atlantic circuit even after 1492. In considering the shifting yet continually vital role of the eastern Atlantic corridor\, this talk seeks to recover a largely overlooked geographic and temporal dimension of early Atlantic history. It does so by bringing together individual stories of conflict\, negotiation\, and struggle waged by a diverse range of individuals who interacted\, in different ways\, with the breadth and dynamism of the east Atlantic in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Sarah Johnson\, "Between the Archive and the Speculative Turn: Notes toward a Biography of Moreau de Saint-Méry." - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:This talk has been POSTPONED. Future date TBD. \nThis talk considers the process of writing about the life and work of the Caribbean philosophe Moreau de Saint-Méry (1750-1819).  A lawyer\, printer\, naturalist\, and translator who was at the forefront of revolutionary politics on two continents\, Moreau was also a slaveholder who wrote about ideals of liberty even as he trafficked in human beings.  An ardent defender of slavery as an institution\, he nonetheless left some of the most detailed accounts of the social practices of enslaved women and men in the eighteenth-century Americas.  This talk explores who knew what\, and how\, using as an example entries from his manuscript Repértoire des Notions Coloniales that I have refashioned into my own Encyclopédie noire.  This work reconsiders how his production of colonial knowledge appears when assessed from alternate points of view.  In a similar vein\, I discuss the process and politics that surround a parallel project produced by Moreau’s brother-in-law\, Baudry des Lozières.  My methodology embraces the value of informed speculation—through chapters that experiment with form\, visual imagery\, and narrative voice—as a way to foreground the people of African descent who undergirded Moreau’s work on multiple levels\, from those who managed his household to those whose knowledge about language\, labor\, and community became the basis of his work.  I build upon fragmentary archival evidence to surmount the disproportionate influence of planters and administrators on Caribbean historiography.

SUMMARY:Sasha Turner\, "Negotiating Slavery and Motherhood on the Terrain of Feelings."
DESCRIPTION:This presentation centers on the story of Abba\, an enslaved woman who was the mother of an unusually large family in eighteenth century Jamaica. Abba had been pregnant thirteen times. She had ten live births and one still birth. We come to know Abba’s story through the diaries of Thomas Thistlewood\, notorious among scholars of slavery because of his practice of diarizing how he daily tortured the enslaved. In addition to her large family\, Abba stands out in the diaries because\, despite Thistlewood’s notoriety as a sadistic enslaver\, he whips Abba only three times in almost thirty years of claiming power over her life and body. By contrast\, Thistlewood was exceptionally generous to Abba providing her with well needed material goods to support her family and permitting her to perform spiritual rituals\, outlawed a felony\, to grieve the death of her children. Reading Abba’s life against the 18th Century burgeoning culture of sensibility\, including Thistlewood’s own displays of sympathy and grief to white community members\, this discussion explores Abba’s deployment of feelings in negotiating her condition. How did Abba’s displays of feeling mirror Thistlewood’s\, and what did Abba seek to gain by consistently exhibiting feelings in Thistlewood presence? \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Thabisile Griffin\, "Black Militias in the Era of Revolutions: Politics\, Race and Labor"
DESCRIPTION:November 19\, 2020\n12:30 – 2:00 pm \nThabisile Griffin\, PhD Candidate\, UCLA\n“Black Militias in the Era of Revolutions: Politics\, Race and Labor” \nFrom 1781 to 1790\, the British Caribbean military and colonial administrators struggled with renegotiating their racial truth systems – through a recalibration of defense. The last two decades of the century were ripe with not only the insurrections of enslaved Africans\, but also threats from competing European powers and indigenous populations. In order to survive\, there were constant re-adjustments made to garrison structure and fortifications\, that ultimately disrupted racial sensibilities to security. A contentious reinforcement would develop in the 1780s\, incentivized by previous strategies used during the American Revolution. Military officials and colonial administrators in the Caribbean were now reckoning with the possibility of employing and arming entire battalions of Black men for the British Army. The creation of this unit in the Caribbean\, the Black Corps\, was only possible through the evolving myths and villainization of St. Vincent’s Black indigenous population—the Black Caribs. Only through the narrative of the Black Caribs could the fantasy of the Black Corps be actualized. \nRegister
