Westermann\, "Drunk on Genocide: Alcohol and Mass Murder in Nazi Germany" DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth of a series of book talks hosted by Brian Griffith that\, in one way or another\, impinge upon the history of Europe’s interwar crisis. These book talks will be open to members both of UCLA’s campus community and the general public\, and pre-registration is required. \nEdward B. Westermann\, Drunk on Genocide: Alcohol and Mass Murder in Nazi Germany (Cornell\, 2021) \n“In Drunk on Genocide\, Edward B. Westermann reveals how\, over the course of the Third Reich\, scenes involving alcohol consumption and revelry among the SS and police became a routine part of rituals of humiliation in the camps\, ghettos\, and killing fields of Eastern Europe. Westermann draws on a vast range of newly unearthed material to explore how alcohol consumption served as a literal and metaphorical lubricant for mass murder. It facilitated “performative masculinity\,” expressly linked to physical or sexual violence. Such inebriated exhibitions extended from meetings of top Nazi officials to the rank and file\, celebrating at the grave sites of their victims. Westermann argues that\, contrary to the common misconception of the SS and police as stone-cold killers\, they were\, in fact\, intoxicated with the act of murder itself. Drunk on Genocide highlights the intersections of masculinity\, drinking ritual\, sexual violence\, and mass murder to expose the role of alcohol and celebratory ritual in the Nazi genocide of European Jews. Its surprising and disturbing findings offer a new perspective on the mindset\, motivation\, and mentality of killers as they prepared for\, and participated in\, mass extermination.” \nZoom Registration Portal: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAofuCuqjsvG9Jr9JrNb18L_UfJRfKdT4_C URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/edward-b-westermann-drunk-on-genocide-alcohol-and-mass-murder-in-nazi-germany/ CATEGORIES:Book Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/drunk-on-genocide-wi8yrX.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210519T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210519T130000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211020T225439Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230926T215330Z UID:807-1621425600-1621429200@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Claudio Fogu\, "The Fishing Net and the Spider Web: Mediterranean Imaginaries and the Making of Italians" DESCRIPTION:This is the third of a series of book talks hosted by Brian Griffith that\, in one way or another\, impinge upon the history of Europe’s interwar crisis. These book talks will be open to members both of UCLA’s campus community and the general public\, and pre-registration is required. \nClaudio Fogu\, The Fishing Net and the Spider Web: Mediterranean Imaginaries and the Making of Italians (Palgrave\, 2021) \n“This book explores the role of Mediterranean imaginaries in one of the preeminent tropes of Italian history: the formation or ‘making of’ Italians. While previous scholarship on the construction of Italian identity has often focused too narrowly on the territorial notion of the nation-state\, and over-identified Italy with its capital\, Rome\, this book highlights the importance of the Mediterranean Sea to the development of Italian collective imaginaries. From this perspective\, this book re-interprets key historical processes and actors in the history of modern Italy\, and thereby challenges mainstream interpretations of Italian collective identity as weak or incomplete. Ultimately\, it argues that Mediterranean imaginaries acted as counterweights to the solidification of a ‘national’ Italian identity\, and still constitute alternative but equally viable modes of collective belonging.” \nZoom Registration Portal: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAoc-Gqpj4uHNP95cX92KF0uyOSkEM84Tcw \n  URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/claudio-fogu-the-fishing-net-and-the-spider-web-mediterranean-imaginaries-and-the-making-of-italians/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Book Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/fogu_fishing_net_spider_web-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210507T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210507T130000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211020T225439Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230926T220139Z UID:806-1620388800-1620392400@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Stephen Bittner\, "Whites and Reds: A History of Wine in the Lands of Tsar and Commisar" DESCRIPTION:This is the second of a series of book talks hosted by Brian Griffith that\, in one way or another\, impinge upon the history of Europe’s interwar crisis. These book talks will be open to members both of UCLA’s campus community and the general public\, and pre-registration is required. \nStephen Bittner\, Whites and Reds: A History of Wine in the Lands of Tsar and Commisar (Oxford\, 2021) \n“Whites and Reds: A History of Wine in the Lands of Tsar and Commissar tells the story of Russia’s encounter with viniculture and winemaking. Rooted in the early-seventeenth century\, embraced by Peter the Great\, and then magnified many times over by the annexation of the indigenous wine economies and cultures of Georgia\, Crimea\, and Moldova in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries\, viniculture and winemaking became an important indicator of Russia’s place at the European table. While the Russian Revolution in 1917 left many of the empire’s vineyards and wineries in ruins\, it did not alter the political and cultural meanings attached to wine. Stalin himself embraced champagne as part of the good life of socialism\, and the Soviet Union became a winemaking superpower in its own right\, trailing only Spain\, Italy\, and France in the volume of its production. Whites and Reds illuminates the ideas\, controversies\, political alliances\, technologies\, business practices\, international networks\, and\, of course\, the growers\, vintners\, connoisseurs\, and consumers who shaped the history of wine in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union over more than two centuries. Because wine was domesticated by virtue of imperialism\, its history reveals many of the instabilities and peculiarities of the Russian and Soviet empires. Over two centuries\, the production and consumption patterns of peripheral territories near the Black Sea and in the Caucasus became a hallmark of Russian and Soviet civilizational identity and cultural refinement. Wine in Russia was always more than something to drink.” \nZoom Registration Portal: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYtde-pqD0vGteO7xk_YPpsnWGw5BTc9ufC URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/stephen-bittner-whites-and-reds-a-history-of-wine-in-the-lands-of-tsar-and-commisar/ LOCATION:Zoom RSVP CATEGORIES:Book Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bittner_whites_and_reds-MfKbJW.tmp_-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210421T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210421T120000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211020T225439Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230926T221358Z UID:805-1619002800-1619006400@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Dominique Kircher Reill\, "Fiume Crisis: Life in the Wake of the Habsburg Empire" DESCRIPTION:This is the first of a series of book talks hosted by Brian Griffith that\, in one way or another\, impinge upon the history of Europe’s interwar crisis. These book talks will be open to members both of UCLA’s campus community and the general public\, and pre-registration is required. \nDominique Kircher Reill\, Fiume Crisis: Life in the Wake of the Habsburg Empire (Harvard\, 2020) \n“The Fiume Crisis recasts what we know about the birth of fascism\, the rise of nationalism\, and the fall of empire after World War I by telling the story of the three-year period when the Adriatic city of Fiume (today Rijeka\, in Croatia) generated an international crisis. In 1919 the multicultural former Habsburg city was occupied by the paramilitary forces of the flamboyant poet-soldier Gabriele D’Annunzio\, who aimed to annex the territory to Italy and became an inspiration to Mussolini. Many local Italians supported the effort\, nurturing a standard tale of nationalist fanaticism. However\, Dominique Kirchner Reill shows that practical realities\, not nationalist ideals\, were in the driver’s seat. Support for annexation was largely a result of the daily frustrations of life in a “ghost state” set adrift by the fall of the empire. D’Annunzio’s ideology and proto-fascist charisma notwithstanding\, what the people of Fiume wanted was prosperity\, which they associated with the autonomy they had enjoyed under Habsburg sovereignty. In these twilight years between the world that was and the world that would be\, many across the former empire sought to restore the familiar forms of governance that once supported them. To the extent that they turned to nation-states\, it was not out of zeal for nationalist self-determination but in the hope that these states would restore the benefits of cosmopolitan empire. Against the too-smooth narrative of postwar nationalism\, The Fiume Crisis demonstrates the endurance of the imperial imagination and carves out an essential place for history from below.” \nZoom Registration Portal: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwkf-qqpj4oHNfm0GbVXk0y6JrZxt8smPvs URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/dominique-kircher-reill-fiume-crisis-life-in-the-wake-of-the-habsburg-empire/ LOCATION:Zoom RSVP CATEGORIES:Book Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/reill_fiume_crisis_0-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200218T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200218T120000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211020T225209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230929T213719Z UID:756-1582027200-1582027200@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:"Women's Vote: Past\, Present and Future" DESCRIPTION:History of Women\, Men & Sexuality Group presents \nEllen Carol Dubois\, ” Women’s Vote: Past\, Present and Future” \nA book talk to commemorate 100 years of the 19th Amendment URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/womens-vote-past-present-and-future/ LOCATION:6275 Bunche Hall CATEGORIES:Book Talk,History of Women,Men and Sexuality Lecture Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/dubois_poster_3_1_0-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190502T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190502T143000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211020T225007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231013T223656Z UID:715-1556802000-1556807400@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:A Book Talk With Max Felker-Kanto DESCRIPTION: URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/a-book-talk-with-max-felker-kanto/ LOCATION:6275 Bunche Hall CATEGORIES:Book Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/maxfelkerkanto_booktalk_2may2019-jMlGdk.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190411T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190411T143000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211020T224937Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231013T233153Z UID:706-1554985800-1554993000@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Japan's Imperial Underworlds: Intimate Encounters at the Borders of Empire DESCRIPTION: URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/japans-imperial-underworlds-intimate-encounters-at-the-borders-of-empire/ LOCATION:6275 Bunche Hall CATEGORIES:Book Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/book_talk_flyer_-_marotti.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190308T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190308T160000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211020T224922Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231013T233704Z UID:699-1552053600-1552060800@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Inaugural Feminist Book Celebration DESCRIPTION:RSVP Here \nInaugural Feminist Book Celebration \nMarch 8\, 2019 – 2 pm – 4 pm \n6275 Bunche URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/inaugural-feminist-book-celebration/ LOCATION:6275 Bunche Hall CATEGORIES:Book Talk,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/judithcarneyjpg.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190110T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190110T133000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211021T030815Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231014T000812Z UID:1255-1547121600-1547127000@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Peter Cole\, Book Discussion\, “Dockworker Power: Race and Activism in Durban and the San Francisco Bay Area DESCRIPTION:Peter Cole\, Book Discussion\, “Dockworker Power: Race and Activism in Durban and the San Francisco Bay Area: \nJanuary 10\, 12:00-1:30 \nBunche 6339 \nRSVP: lindsayking@ucla.edu URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/peter-cole-book-discussion-dockworker-power-race-and-activism-in-durban-and-the-san-francisco-bay-area/ LOCATION:6339 Bunche CATEGORIES:Book Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20181029T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20181029T180000 DTSTAMP:20260614T035927 CREATED:20211020T224738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231017T175954Z UID:667-1540821600-1540836000@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:India and the Early Modern World - Symposium on Sanjay Subrahmanyam's latest books: Europe's India and Empires Between Islam and Christianity DESCRIPTION:Panel 1 \n2:00-2:05 Introduction\n2:05-2:25 Navina Haidar\n2:25-2:45 Philip Stern\n2:45-3:05 Kaya Sahin\n3:05-3:30 Coffee break \nPanel 2 \n3:30-3:50 Kathryn Babayan\n3:50-4:10 Rajeev Kinra\n4:10-4:30 Sanjay Subrahmanyam\n4:30-5:15 Q&A\n5:15-6:00 Reception \nKathryn Babayan– University of Michigan- (PhD Princeton University\, 1993) studies the medieval and early-modern Persianate world and focuses on the cultural\, social and political histories of Iran\, Iraq\, Anatolia\, and parts of Central Asia. Her scholarly career began with a study of religious and political authority in Safavi Iran (1501-1722)\, and then advanced to a close examination of the ways in which textures of time and being influenced the pre-modern writing of Persianate history and the ritualistic performances of Persianate “memory.” \nNavina Najat Haidar has been a curator in the Met’s department of Islamic art since 1999. She helped lead the planning of the Museum’s Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands\, Turkey\, Iran\, Central Asia\, and Later South Asia\, which have welcomed more than 1.5 million visitors since they opened in November 2011.
