SUMMARY:Aisha Finch - "Of Time and Sugar: Making and Unmaking Cuban Plantation Temporalities"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the relationship between time – as it was regulated and embodied in the Cuban sugar plantation world – and the lived experiences of the people enslaved on these plantations. It juxtaposes the function of time as an ever-evolving technology of the plantation world\, and its possibilities as a site of black fugitivity and regeneration. This split sense of “plantation-time” marked one of the most important tensions in the world of sugar production: slaveholders and managers sought to ration and appropriate time as a precious commodity\, yet enslaved people consistently reshaped its strictures and repurposed its possibilities. Exploring the ways in which enslaved people were violently circumscribed by this plantation temporality\, but also the creative means they found to circumvent it\, will offer important ways to understand how they inhabited\, negotiated\, and resisted their enslavement.

SUMMARY:Benjamin Cowan - "Securing Sex: Morality and Repression in the Making of Cold War Brazil" Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:In this history of right-wing politics in Brazil during the Cold War\, Benjamin Cowan puts the spotlight on the Cold Warriors themselves. Tracking how limits to Cold War authoritarianism finally emerged\, Cowan concludes that the record of autocracy and repression in Brazil is part of a larger story of reaction against perceived threats to traditional views of family\, gender\, moral standards\, and sexuality — a story that continues in today’s culture wars.

SUMMARY:Mario Biogioli - "Beyond Publish or Perish: Metrics and the New Ecologies of Academic Misconduct"
DESCRIPTION:Mario Biagioli – School of Law\, Science & Technology Studies Program\, Department of History\, UC Davis. \nAcademic misconduct has traditionally been tied to the stress generated by the “publish or perish” culture and\, more recently\, to the new opportunities offered by electronic publishing.  I argue\, instead\, that misconduct is undergoing a radical qualitative transformation\, adapting itself to modern metrics-based regimes of academic evaluation and the new incentives and opportunities they provide.  We are transitioning\, so to speak\, from “publish or perish” to “impact or perish.”  These changes are affecting the practices as well as the discourse and conceptualization of misconduct.  Traditional definitions of misconduct were rooted in oppositions between truth and falsehood\, right and wrong\, honest mistake and fabrication\, but some of the new metrics-based misconduct could be seen as a form of gaming rather than a clear violation of ethical norms or laws.  The new metrics-based forms of misconduct are thus challenging us to redefine misconduct\, but they are also\, at the same time\, asking us to rethink what we mean by “publication.”

SUMMARY:José I. Fusté - “Historicizing Entangled  Afro-Latinidades: Looking Beyond the Diasporic and/or National Subject”
DESCRIPTION:This presentation invites us to imagine afrodescended Latin@s—who live\, think\, and feel colonial modernity between different nations\, regions\, and subaltern positionalities—as subjects with inherently fragmented and “entangled” ontologies. Drawing from the writings of the Martinican poet-philosopher Edouard Glissant about the protean condition of the Caribbean (post)colonial subject\, we will analyze various Cuban and Puerto Rican activist intellectuals from the early 20th century that self-identified as Black political subjects\, but also as Latin Caribbean national subjects. Specifically\, we will analyze traces left behind by those that sought to reconcile anti-racist and anti-imperialist/nationalist discourses and practices that were inherently contradictory due to the notion that in Latin America\, the nation and Latin@ pan-ethnicity made racial alterity insignificant. A close reading of the identitarian aporias apparent in the letters\, essays\, and the journalism of those who sought to unravel these contradictions affords us a window for reconceptualizing the instabilities but also the possibilities of afro-latinidades as a spectrum of heterodox onto-political strategies that are inherently transnational and relational.

SUMMARY:Nancy O. Gallman - “American Constitutions: Life\, Liberty and Property in Colonial East Florida"
DESCRIPTION:Nancy O. Gallman is a Ph.D. candidate in Early American History at the University of California\, Davis.  Her dissertation\, “American Constitutions: Life\, Liberty\, and Property in Colonial East Florida\,” is a comparative legal history of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Spanish–Native East Florida. It examines the interactions between Spanish colonial law and the customary law of the Lower Creeks and Seminoles to show how a broadly defined\, pluralistic system of law shaped the development of East Florida\, where neither the Spanish nor Native peoples could dominate but where both had to adapt to the other. She argues that\, on the basis of mutual tolerance and restraint\, this mixed legal culture reinforced Native sovereignty\, promoted multiple conceptions of justice\, race\, gender\, labor\, and property\, and\, as a result\, made East Florida a greater target of U.S. aggression in the early years of the new republic. This study of legal pluralism in East Florida refines our understanding of the role of Native law in the constitution of power in colonial North America.

SUMMARY:The Clandestine and Heterodox Underground of Early Modern European Philosophy\,  17th–18th Centuries
DESCRIPTION:A conference organized by Margaret Jacob\, University of California\, Los Angeles; Gianni Paganini\, Università del Piemonte Orientale; and John Christian Laursen\, University of California\, Riverside. \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Department of History; Università del Piemonte Orientale\, Vercelli; and Centro di Ricerca della Accademia dei Lincei\, Rome. \nThis conference explores philosophical writings that circulated clandestinely in the early modern era—a corpus of some 250 texts in some 2\,000 manuscript copies. At its most radical\, the clandestine philosophical tract remained rigorously anonymous. These tracts offered a rationalist criticism of philosophy and religion\, drawing on classical and Renaissance alternative traditions while providing critical readings of mainstream texts to bring out their errors and ideological sleight of hand. Many of the ideas expressed in the manuscripts emerged in print in the works of Voltaire\, Hume\, d’Holbach\, and Diderot. The conference examines how these manuscripts enable a reading of European intellectual history beyond the official professions of faith promoted by the schools and established authors. \nRSVP at http://www.1718.ucla.edu/events/heterodox-underground/ \nSpeakers \nJeffrey D. Burson\, Georgia Southern University \nSabrina Ebbersmeyer\, Københavns Universitet \nKaren Hollewand\, University of Oxford \nJonathan Israel\, Institute for Advanced Study \nJohn Christian Laursen\, University of California\, Riverside \nInger Leemans\, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam \nWhitney Mannies\, University of California\, Riverside \nJohn Marshall\, Johns Hopkins University \nGianni Paganini\, Università del Piemonte Orientale \nWinfried Schröder\, Philipps-Universität Marburg Maria \nSusana Seguin\, Université Paul-Valery Montpelier III \nRienk Vermij\, University of Oklahoma

SUMMARY:Vinay Lal - "The Politics of Internet Hinduism"
DESCRIPTION:Hinduism’s adherents\, particularly in the United States\, have displayed in recent years a marked tendency to turn towards various forms of digital media\, and in particular the internet\, to forge new forms of Hindu identity\, furnish Hinduism with a purportedly more coherent and monotheistic form\, engage in debates on American multiculturalism\, and partake of the protocols of citizenship in the digital age. The aspiration to create linkages across Hindu groups worldwide\, embrace Hindus in remoter diasporic settings who are viewed as having been ‘left behind’\, and create something of global Hindu consciousness\, has a fundamental relationship to India’s ascendancy as an ‘emerging economy’ and the confidence with which its Hindu elites increasingly view the world and their prospects for prosperity and political gain. In this lecture\, I shall focus on some contemporary phenomena\, among them the deployment of the internet in battles over the content of history textbooks in California and attempts to secure ‘the dignity of Hinduism’ by groups such as American Hindus Against Defamation (AHAD). As I shall argue\, a revolutionary internet Hinduism is being forged which transforms an old faith into a worldwide religion\, and brings pliant Hindus\, both in India and in the older Indian diasporas of the nineteenth century\, to an awareness of the global strengths of a ‘modern’ Hindu community.
