SUMMARY:Iris Clever\, "The Afterlives of Skulls: How Race Science Became a Data Science."
DESCRIPTION:Nov 29 Iris Clever (University of Chicago) \n“The Afterlives of Skulls: How Race Science Became a Data Science.” \nThis talk will introduce anthropological practices that remain largely unexplored in the historical literature on racial science: biometrics. In the early twentieth century\, biometricians analyzed skull measurements with novel statistical methods to demonstrate racial-biological differences. With skull-measuring instruments and formulas\, they transformed skulls into data templates and quantified racial research. Using new archival material\, the talk will also reveal how these biometric data practices challenged racist anthropology\, in particular Nazi racial theories. This research thus reveals that the coexistence of antiracist and racializing practices was not paradoxical but an important feature of the anthropological study of human variation in the twentieth century. \n  \nFor remote participants:  \nPlease click here to register and receive a Zoom link \nFor those joining us on campus\, RSVP and symptom monitoring is required. Please be prepared to show your clearance status when entering the seminar room. \nPlease RSVP using this form if you will be attending in person \nFor visitors coming from other institutions\, please remember that UCLA has a vaccine mandate and that everyone coming to campus needs to fill out the daily symptom monitoring form which can be found here: \nhttps://uclasurveys.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3qRLtouCYKzBbH7

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:Edward B. 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

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

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

SUMMARY:Madison Felman-Panagotacos\, "La Difunta Correa"
DESCRIPTION:May 12 | 2PM – 3PM \n“La Difunta Correa” \nA Workshop with PhD Candidate from the Spanish and Portuguese department\, Madison Felman-Panagotacos (UCLA) \n  \nThis paper will trace the tumultuous popularization of the devotion to la Difunta Correa\, \nconsidering reverence for her in conjunction with changing standards of what constitutes \nargentinidad and femininity. Examining cultural productions depicting la Difunta Correa that were \ncreated ion during moments of political upheaval – modernization\, the rise of Peronism\, and the \nmilitary dictatorship – lends insight to the values considered as inherent to Argentine citizenship \nat those particular moments. Rewritings of the legend of la Difunta Correa are calculated \nreimaginings of what constitutes citizenship and femininity\, highlighting exclusionary practices in \nnation building that are still present today. \n  \nPlease contact rmartnz165@g.ucla.edu for the Zoom link and paper.

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

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
