SUMMARY:"'Chi beve birra campa cent'anni!': Wine Beer\, and the Question of Italian Identity under Fascism"
DESCRIPTION:EUROPEAN COLLOQUIUM\nTALK BY WEBER POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR\, BRIAN GRIFFITH\nThis paper analyzes the struggles between the Italian winemaking and brewing industries over the shaping of bourgeois Italian tastes and habits during the interwar decades. During the early 1920s\, Fascist Italy’s Industrial Wine Lobby began unveiling a wide range of public relations and collective marketing campaigns\, which were aimed at forging new ‘fashions’ among the country’s wayward middle- and upper-class consumers. The pro-wine lobby’s efforts\, however\, were obstructed by a variety of political and commercial challenges\, including a growing competition with various ‘foreign’ beverage industries\, such as coffee\, cocktails\, and\, above all\, beer. Between 1929 and 1931\, Italian brewers’ commercial lobbying organization\, the National Beer Propaganda Consortium\, launched two ambitious collective marketing campaigns of its own\, which were centered on discursively intertwining the beverage’s consumption with bourgeois sociability\, domesticity\, and ‘Italian’ identity. Unwilling to yield any commercial ground to domestic brewers\, Italy’s Industrial Wine Lobby launched a follow-up\, and wide-ranging collective marketing campaign in order to both defend ‘the world’s vineyard’ from the ‘invasion’ of ‘semi-barbarian’ beverages\, as one wine lobbyist colorfully phrased it in 1935. By exploring these industries’ conflicts over the definition and articulation of ‘Italian’ taste and style during the interwar years\, this study aims to shed further light on the complex relationships between consumerism\, industrial ‘fashion’ dynamics\, and national identity under Benito Mussolini’s fascist dictatorship. \nIf you would like to attend via Zoom\, please RSVP.

SUMMARY:Oathbound: The Trelawny Maroons of Jamaica in the Revolutionary Atlantic World by Bradley Craig
DESCRIPTION:Forcibly removed from Jamaica in 1796 after waging war against the colonial state\, the Trelawny Maroons boarded a ship bound for Nova Scotia\, where they struggled against the colonial government until 1800\, when they were relocated to Sierra Leone. This talk follows the Maroons across these three different British colonies in order to reconsider the political history of the Atlantic world. To tell the story of the Trelawny Maroons is to tell a characteristically Atlantic story whereby different groups reconstituted their sense of belonging in the face of flux and dislocation—an impulse common to Africans\, indigenous Americans\, and Europeans alike from the onset of the Atlantic age of exploration. War\, enslavement\, mercantilism\, and imperial expansion facilitated the meeting of strangers and the making of kin. At the center of these Atlantic narratives are shared strivings—often violent\, yet always creative—to persist in a world marked by rupture and discontinuity. I argue that the Maroons engaged in a radical worldmaking project rooted in an Atlantic political culture of oath-making that allowed them to recast their political subjectivity across different colonial spaces. The Maroons endeavored to bind themselves to a radical vision of fragmented sovereignty and a sense of diasporic community\, revealing the deep historical connections between sovereignty and intimacy. By adopting a diasporic emphasis on ritual\, materiality\, and belonging\, this project reorients a historiography of Black Atlantic revolutionary politics that too often emerges from a linear\, progressive\, and state-oriented perspective. \nThis event will be online only via Zoom.  Please use this URL to RSVP:  https://ucla.in/3zy9clB. \n

SUMMARY:Transatlantic Blues: A French Botanist Experiments with Indigo by Mary Terrall
DESCRIPTION:The French botanist Michel Adanson spent five years in pre-colonial Senegal in the 1750s\, under the auspices of the Compagnie des Indes\, collecting and cultivating African plants and mapping the landscape and natural resources of the region.  He traversed this landscape with a variety of African interlocutors and guides\, whose knowledge inevitably\, if often invisibly\, informed his collections\, maps\, and scientific works. With particular attention to the materiality of indigo\,this paper follows the archival traces of Adanson’s engagement with African indigo\, including experiments conducted in an ad hoc “laboratory” near the French fort of Saint-Louis. Making scientific knowledge for European audiences (including the royal scientific institutions and the Bureau of the Colonies) depended on various kinds of local African knowledge\, as well as on Caribbean plantation experience. This talk will explore questions about the geographies of knowledge and French imperial ambitions\, through close attention to the material properties of indigo\, the practices associated with its transformation from plant to dye\, and the material remnants of Adanson’s engagement with it in Africa. This is both a microhistory of encounters in and around a tiny island off the West African coast and a trans-Atlantic story connecting Senegal to Paris and to French colonies in the Caribbean (Saint Domingue and Guyana).  \nHybrid Bunche 6275 \nZoom RSVP https://ucla.in/3HyDjMD

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Alexander Statman (UCLA\, Law)
DESCRIPTION:“A Global Enlightenment: Western Progress and Chinese Science.” \nThe idea of progress frames our modern understanding of understanding itself. It offers a historical account of the development of knowledge in space and time\, with the natural sciences serving as both its mark and guarantor. This account has a distinctive history all of its own. Historians have long considered it to be a signature contribution of the eighteenth-century European Enlightenment. But to really understand how it came to be\, we also have to pay attention to much that the European Enlightenment seemed to tell us to ignore. \nIn this talk\, I show that ideas of progress at the end of the Enlightenment were shaped by a continuous and transformative engagement with Chinese science. In Beijing\, the last survivor of the Jesuit mission\, Joseph-Marie Amiot\, studied qi\, taiji\, and yin-yang cosmology\, sending authentic primary and secondary sources from China back to France. In Paris\, his correspondents deployed them to tell new stories about the history of science\, inventing modern esotericism in the process. When this work was reincorporated into post-Enlightenment progress theories\, the past became a foreign country: both were made a window into a different way of knowing. \nZoom RSVP: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcvcu6hrzssGdTWwugK_tYov09nxbNnjz0y \nIn Person RSVP: \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1E-8G-w9Sq22qwbnQFQHH_YAHkYyfkZ9fDLVn2eg1Zrg

SUMMARY:Spiritscapes’ as ‘Atlantic Modernities’ by Degenhart Brown
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: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJArcOmupzMsG9LfNoK0VVJ-BWY6wY-gX6_T

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: John Di Moia (Seoul National University/ UCLA Korean Studies)
DESCRIPTION:“From ‘Boxes’ to Containers: Containerization\, Post-colonial East and SEAsia\, and Re-evaluating Technology Transfer (1950-1973)” \nWhen the United States became involved in the Korean War\, its primary mechanism for conveying personal goods to the scene was the Transporter\, a leftover from World War II\, and the CONEX (Container Express) box\, a predecessor to the more recent ISO (International Organization for Standardization)\, or intermodal\, shipping container. These forms of conveyance transformed port cities such as Incheon and Busan from their recent history as part of Japanese empire (1910-1945). The subsequent “success story” of the ISO container\, often told as a story of European shipping\, or alternatively\, American trucking\, remains heavily embedded within a wartime context\, in this case\, the period preceding and leading up to American involvement in Vietnam (1965). A Los Angeles architectural and design firm\, DMJM (Daniel\, Mann\, Johnson\, and Mendenhall) helped to design plans for Vietnamese ports in the early 1960s\, helping to ease the transition from French colonialism. \nWith the commitment to Vietnam\, break-bulk shipping\, with goods handled by teams of stevedores\, needed to be replaced by containerization\, especially at sites such as Cam Ranh Bay\, one of the major intake points for goods. As a corollary to this rapid development of logistics\, the various Asian subcontractors involved in this process borrowed and used this technology while participating in Vietnam but also while transforming their own domestic ports. This paper tracks one Korean shipping firm\, Hanjin\, and its use of the technology in Vietnam (Qui Nhon\, Cam Rahn)\, and the movement of the technology to Busan by the early 1970s. Rather than a story of “technology transfer\,” containerization in East Asia stands as a representative case of local actors repurposing and altering an existing technology. \n  \nZoom RSVP: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMpcuqppzssHNO7hqfVwu5KZZzfVRC4Mvgg \nIn Person RSVP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gxkzD1bixlgz7hBglc2qfzQBkl965ui7TtEfPmH6cIg

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Charles Kollmer (Caltech)
DESCRIPTION:“Industrial Accumulations: Microbes and Materials in Motion in the Late Nineteenth Century” \nBeginning in the latter half of the nineteenth century\, across Western Europe\, North America\, and regions of the globe colonized by European nations\, lines of scientific inquiry on the etiology of infectious diseases and the efficacy of industrial fermentations converged with longer-standing academic interests in single-celled life forms. Across varied contexts of investigation\, researchers adopted similar techniques for cultivating microorganisms\, developed on the premise that different varieties of microbes possessed distinctive nutritional needs and capacities for growth. To make these organisms into objects of scientific and technical knowledge\, researchers assembled so-called “pure cultures” and “enrichment cultures.” These complementary approaches entailed manipulating the composition of growth media\, which consisted of concentrated microbial sustenance separated from its surroundings by the walls of sealed glass containers. While ostensibly functioning to isolate cultivated microorganisms from the world outside\, these containers remained in some meaningful sense porous\, as researchers routinely incorporated into their growth media the products or byproducts of human affairs unfolding outside of the containers. Over the course of the talk\, I will introduce several examples of such nested milieus\, tracing connections between the life forms in- and outside microbial cultures. This exercise\, I will argue\, sheds new light on the molecular views of life that increasingly typified the life sciences over the course of the twentieth century. As researchers repurposed cultivated microorganisms as powerful instruments for probing nature’s order\, they also recorded\, sometimes unwittingly\, a proliferation of humans’ technical interventions in that order. \n  \nZoom RSVP: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYldO6qqTkpHNUYeDeFN7a4kp65WWyWuUu0 \nIn Person RSVP: None – this meeting will take place only on Zoom.

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
