SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Theodore Porter (UCLA) "Democracy Counts: On Sacred and Debased Numbers”
DESCRIPTION:Nov. 2\, 2020\, 4:00pm\, PST \nTheodore Porter (UCLA)\, “Democracy Counts: Sacred and Debased numbers” \nCommentary by Amir Alexander (UCLA) \n\nThe Trump Administration’s systematic rejection of accurate numbers in such domains as public health and the census is of a piece with Trump’s denial of the possibility of fair elections. Taken seriously\, it comes down to a rejection of democratic government. This colloquium is oriented around Porter’s blog\, “Democracy Counts\,” which has been made available with this announcement\, and which you are encouraged to read. Amir Alexander will provide a commentary\, to be followed by a wide-ranging discussion on numbers and politics. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy \nPlease register here to receive the zoom link. \nhttps://press.princeton.edu/ideas/democracy-counts-on-sacred-and-debased-numbers \n\nProtesters shout outside the Miami-Dade County election office Nov. 22\, 2000. (Colin Braley/Reuters)

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Taylor Moore (UCSB): “Tracing the Magical Rhinoceros Horn in Egypt: A Decolonial Materialist History”
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2020 Colloquium Schedule \nWe will meet on zoom from 4-5 pm. RSVP links will be circulated with the announcements for the individual talks. \nNov 23 \nRegistration: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYsdeGurzIqGtxldiJYGsO0ROwIFjd72WeD  \nTaylor Moore (UCSB): “Tracing the Magical Rhinoceros Horn in Egypt: A Decolonial Materialist History” \nCo-sponsored by the European History Colloquium \nCan emancipatory\, decolonial histories be extracted from objects collected from—or made visible to history by—the archives of colonialism?  This talk explores this question through the case study of the rhinoceros horn amulet (/qarn el-khartit/)\, an ethnographic object collected by British anthropologist Winifred Blackman during her fieldwork in Egypt in the 1920s. Markedly decentering the traditional colonial history of how the rhinoceros horn was collected and displayed as an object in European museums\,  I follow the trail of the rhinoceros horn back to the site of its collection in Egypt to reveal a strikingly different story: one of magic/medicine\, gender\, race\, and enslavement—setagainst the backdrop of Egypt’s imperial pursuits in East Africa. As such\, I demonstrate how to “read” the rhinoceros horn as an object-archive that illuminates the networks\, actors\, and economies whose bodies and labor are generally rendered invisible in Eurocentric histories of global science and medicine. \nTaylor M. Moore is a University of California Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow in the History Department at UC Santa Barbara. Her research lies at the intersections of critical race studies\,decolonial/postcolonial histories of science\, and decolonial materiality studies. Her book manuscript\, /Superstitious Women: Race\, Magic\, and Medicine in Egypt/\, uses modern Egyptian amulets as an archive to reconstruct the magical and vernacular medical life-worlds of peasant women healers\, and their critical role developing medico-anthropological expertise in Egypt from 1880-1950.
