SUMMARY:Patrícia Martins Marcos\, UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Rising to the Challenge "The Empire of White Patriarchs: Population\, Race-Making\, and the Sciences of Human Improvement in the Afro-Luso-Brazilian Atlantic (1730-1800)"
DESCRIPTION:In 1750\, when the Brazilian border expanded by several orders of magnitude\, Portuguese Crown officials\, administrators\, and men of science received the news with hope and apprehension. While the growth of frontiers of Portugal’s possession in the Americas was celebrated\, it also presented formidable challenges for settlement. How could a diminutive metropole whose empire stretched across the four corners of the globe\, secure its new territorial gains? Drawing on Newtonian physics\, novel anthropological thinking about the human as a species\, and the accounting technology of “Political Arithmetic\,” Portuguese imperial administrators launched a policy known as the “political mechanism.” Recognizing how “population is everything\,” this talk historicizes the emergence of racial whitening (branqueamento) as a project of human improvement and “population multiplication.” Arguing that producing bigger and better population futures became the chief scientific project of eighteenth-century Portuguese imperialism\, I demonstrate how reform was undergirded by the forging of a new ideal of subjecthood: the salaried laborer. The salaried laborer became\, I argue\, the embodiment of a new ideal of whiteness (or white subjecthood). The end-goal of a new imperial science of human improvement was premised on the remolding of “rustics” into workers. In the Amazon\, the key site where I will focus on in this talk\, a new Crown policy promised to assimilate Amerindians and Roma people into whiteness through productive and reproducible labor. This talk excavates the racialized and gendered conditions of possibility for whitening through pronatalism\, human speciation\, and patriarchal rule. \nPatrícia Martins Marcos (Ph.D History and Science Studies) is a UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Rising to the Challenge at UCLA’s History Department of History and the Bunche Center for African American Studies. Her book manuscript\, Imperial Whiteness\, historicizes genealogies of racial improvement through whitening in the 18th Century Afro-Luso-Brazilian Atlantic by linking histories of the life sciences\, to medicine\, gender and sexuality\, and race. She is currently Associate Editor with the History of Anthropology Review and elected Early Career Representative for the History of Science Society—where she is also co-chair of the Early Sciences Forum. Her work has been supported by the Huntington Library\, the American Philosophical Society\, the Center for Black\, Brown\, and Queer Studies\, and the John Carter Brown Library. She is currently a fellow with the Folger Shakespeare Library and next Fall she will be a visiting fellow at the Department of History of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG–Brazil) . Her most recent “Blackness out of Place\,” was published with the Radical History Review and focuses on the epistemology of Black visual resistance in Portugal and its former imperial spaces. \nZoom Registration Here

SUMMARY:William Sewell\, "A Concrete History of Abstraction: Explaining the Emergence of Civic Equality in Eighteenth-Century France"
DESCRIPTION:A Concrete History of Abstraction: Explaining the Emergence of Civic Equality in Eighteenth-Century France \nWilliam Sewell \nProfessor Emeritus of Political Science and History The University of Chicago \nThursday\, October 10\, 2019 \n4-6pm Bunche 6275 \nOne of the most important changes introduced by the French Revolution was the codification of civic equality as a fundamental right. In the profoundly hierarchical society that was eighteenth-century France\, establishing a norm of abstract equality among citizens was an extremely radical act\, one that undermined existing assumptions about how politics and everyday social relations should be structured. Yet the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen was passed virtually without dissent by a National Assembly that included many aristocrats and clerics\, whose privileges it abolished. Dr. Sewell argues that the widespread acceptance in 1789 of this abstract civic equality had experiential roots in the transformations introduced by early capitalism’s growing commodification of social relations. In this talk\, and in the forthcoming book on which it is based\, Dr. Sewell traces out such tendential abstraction in three distinct spheres of eighteenth-century French social experience: the burgeoning commercial relations in French cities\, the social world of the philosophes\, and the royal administration’s widespread adoption of political-economic reasoning. It was\, Dr. Sewell argues\, the concrete experience of increasingly abstract social relations in the decades before the Revolution that made civic equality thinkable and so widely acceptable in 1789. \nWilliam H. Sewell Jr.is the Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago and a resident fellow of the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory. His research focuses on the intersections between history and social theory and he is currently working on a project on the social and cultural history of capitalism in eighteenth-century France.

SUMMARY:The Kids Aren’t All Right: Historians and the Problem of Childhood
DESCRIPTION:Can children be historical actors? The proposition that children have historical agency has been a rallying cry for many historians of childhood who seek to recover the voices and actions of young people in the past\, arguing that their history is analogous to that of other disenfranchised and marginalized groups and must be recovered in the same way. Sarah Maza’s talk challenges this agenda by proposing that children are in fact profoundly different from any other group of past actors. It then goes on to describe a remarkable set of recent works that suggest a renewal of the general area of “children in history” but approach the topic very differently from traditional social histories\, writing history not “of childhood” but “through childhood.” This trend\, she suggests\, has implications for all fields of history.

SUMMARY:Herrick Chapman - "France’s Long Reconstruction: In Search of the Modern Republic"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 7\, 2019 4PM \nBunche 6275 \nEuropean Colloquium Speaker Series \nHerrick Chapman – “France’s Long Reconstruction: In Search of the Modern Republic” \nHerrick Chapman – Professor\, New York University \nHistorian Herrick Chapman explores how the French\, in reconstructing their country after World War II\, sought to combine a top-down modernization drive with a rejuvenation of democracy. Just what form this new France should take remained the burning question at the central of political combat until the end of the Algerian war. Chapman argues that by the 1960s France’s “long reconstruction” had institutionalized a deep tension between technocratic and democratic governance that would become an enduring feature of the new Fifth Republic. This tension also made the country vulnerable to the kind of street-level rebellion that exploded in May 1968. \nHerrick Chapman is a modern European historian working mainly on the social\, economic\, and political history of twentieth-century France. His new book\, France’s Long Reconstruction: In Search of the Modern Republic (Harvard\, 2018)\, explores how the French rebuilt their economy and their polity after the Second World War.

SUMMARY:Roii Ball: Indebted Settlement : Rural Credit\, National Segregation\, and ‘Internal Colonization’ in the German-Polish Borderlands before the First World War
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 29\, 2019 12PM \nBunche 6275 \nEuropean Colloquium Speaker Series \nRoii Ball – “Indebted Settlement : Rural Credit\, National Segregation\, and ‘Internal Colonization’ in the German-Polish Borderlands before the First World War” \nRoii Ball – PhD candidate\, UCLA \nRoii Ball is a sixth year graduate student at the UCLA History Department. He earned a BA in history from Tel-Aviv University in 2012 and advanced to PhD candidacy in 2016. He previously held research fellowships at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw and at the University of Cologne. His dissertation explores the social history of an agrarian settlement project that was undertaken by the Prussian-German imperial nation state between the years 1886-1914. This ‘internal colonization’ project sought to settle Germans in the German-Polish borderlands of the empire\, replacing Poles with Germans and latifundia estates with medium-sized family farms. The dissertation revolves around different aspects of what was in fact a deep social transformation: the on-going formation of a settler society in the provinces of Poznania and West Prussia on the Russian border. In his dissertation\, Ball studies the roles played by rural credit\, children in poverty\, planning and architecture\, and migration\, in this history of nationalism\, empire\, and settler-colonialism in the heart of Europe. \n  \nLunch will be served. Please RSVP to Ryan Hilliard (rhilliard@ucla.edu) by Tuesday\, January 22\, 2019 if you plan to attend and include any dietary restrictions.

SUMMARY:Madeline Woker - "Empire\, Taxes\, and Loopholes: Taxation and Colonial Capitalism in the  French Empire\, 1920s-1950s"
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 6\, 2018 12PM \nBunche 6275 \nEuropean Colloquium Speaker Series \nMadeline Woker – “Empire\, Taxes\, and Loopholes: Taxation and Colonial Capitalism in the  French Empire\, 1920s-1950s” \n  \nMadeline Woker explores a major tax dispute between colonial firms and the metropolitan state which occurred between the early 1920s and the 1950s. Her talk introduces this episode by making a broader claim about European fiscal privilege in the empire and goes on to reveal that metropolitan administrations feared the existence of an imperial conduit and fought against colonial states in order to assert their ownership of a particular tax base (capitalists who invested in the empire). It argues that individuals and firms operating in the empire actively sought to take advantage of low and uneven tax rates in order evade taxes. However\, metropolitan administrations responded firmly. This talk brings new insights into the discussion on the so-called “colonial origins” of tax havens and formulates colonial taxation as a historical problem. It also furthers the study of the history of international business taxation\, a topic highly relevant to today’s globalized economy. \nMadeline Woker is a PhD candidate in history at Columbia University\, New York. Her dissertation\, “Empire of inequality: the politics of taxation in the French empire\, 1918-1939\,” examines the fiscal architecture of the French colonial empire and the politics of colonial tax reform during the interwar period. Madeline has degrees from Sciences Po Paris and the London School of Economics. In 2014\, she received her MPhil in Modern European History from the University of Cambridge (with distinction). Her article “Edwin Seligman\, initiator of global progressive public finance” is forthcoming in the Journal of Global History. \nLunch will be served. Please RSVP to Ryan Hilliard (rhilliard@ucla.edu) by Monday\, October 29\, 2018 if you plan to attend and include any dietary restrictions.
