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) .

Bennett Jones (The Huntington Library) DESCRIPTION:The Indians Say: Storytelling\, Settler Colonialism and American Natural History\, 1722 to 1846 \nThis talk discusses the use of information attributed to Indigenous sources within eighteenth and nineteenth century Anglophone natural history. Early modern naturalists studying North American flora and fauna frequently sought out the expertise of Indigenous people\, who they simultaneously regarded as authoritative knowers and objects of study. But diplomatic alliances\, specific cultural protocols\, and regional dynamics all encouraged (or prevented) information sharing between settler naturalists and Indigenous people and these contexts in turn shaped how Anglophone naturalists presented and cited Indigenous expertise in published natural history. The talk explores the relationship between evidence\, identity\, and colonialism and examines how ideas about extraction and information underpinned the epistemology of early modern natural history. It also gestures towards present-day manifestations of these issues within scientific approaches to TEK (traditional ecological knowledge). \n  \nRSVP for Zoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEodO6vqzMuHdyICRUzt3ost8nF5jHEO8TX \nRSVP for in-person: https://forms.gle/4YpigVHmijybhVYv9 URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/the-indians-say-storytelling-settler-colonialism-and-american-natural-history-1722-to-1846/ LOCATION:Bunche 5288 & Zoom CATEGORIES:History of Science Colloquium END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221031T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221031T160000 DTSTAMP:20260418T074114 CREATED:20221024T204711Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221024T204711Z UID:6192-1667232000-1667232000@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Euclid and Descartes on the Potomac: The Geometrical Battle for the National Capital” Presenter: Amir Alexander (UCLA) DESCRIPTION:In person RSVP\nZoom RSVP  URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/euclid-and-descartes-on-the-potomac-the-geometrical-battle-for-the-national-capital-presenter-amir-alexander-ucla/ LOCATION:Bunche 5288 & Zoom CATEGORIES:History of Science Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/hos_10.31.22-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210524T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210524T170000 DTSTAMP:20260418T074114 CREATED:20211021T033641Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230926T213320Z UID:1396-1621872000-1621875600@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Erika Milam\, “Afterlives in Nature: Long-term Ecological Research in the Age of COVID.” DESCRIPTION:Spring 2021 Colloquium \nMay 24 | 4PM – 5PM PST \nErika Milam (Princeton) \n“Afterlives in Nature: Long-term Ecological Research in the Age of COVID” \nRegistration Link URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/erika-milam-afterlives-in-nature-long-term-ecological-research-in-the-age-of-covid/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:History of Science Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/history_of_science_8-65F6Qf.tmp_.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210517T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210517T170000 DTSTAMP:20260418T074114 CREATED:20211021T033626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230926T215639Z UID:1395-1621267200-1621270800@history.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Bharat Venkat\, “At the Limits of Cure.” DESCRIPTION:Spring 2021 Colloquium \nMay 17 | 4PM – 5PM PST \nSpeaker Bharat Venkat (UCLA) \n“At the Limits of Cure” \nWhat does it mean to be cured\, and what does it mean for a cure to come undone? This talk draws from my forthcoming book At the Limits of Cure (Duke University Press\, fall 2021)\, which focuses on the history and present of tuberculosis treatment in India. Drawing on ethnographic and historical materials\, as well as film\, fiction\, and folklore\, I examine cure in its various iterations—from sanatoriums and gold therapy to travel and antibiotics—as well as how such cures come up against their limits. Through an anthropological history\, this book explores a range of curative imaginations that have taken form around tuberculosis: in debates contrasting idyllic sanatoriums and crowded prisons\, through which freedom in its many forms became envisioned as a kind of therapy; in the itineraries of ships filled with coolies and soldiers seeking work and treatment across the British empire; in the networks of scientists who tested antibiotics in India as a means of asking whether poverty really mattered to therapeutic success; in clinics where patients were told that they were cured only to undergo treatment again and again; and in the reworking of midcentury anxieties about population growth in relation to contemporary drug resistance in India’s urban centers. A central contention of this book–and my talk–is that our imagination of cure shapes our understanding of time: not only the temporality underlying histories of science and medicine\, but also\, the temporality of therapy itself. \n  \nRegistration Link URL:https://history.ucla.edu/event/bharat-venkat-at-the-limits-of-cure/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:History of Science Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://history.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/history_of_science_7-g6ylCT.tmp_.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
