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.

SUMMARY:Alon Confino - “A World With and Without Jews: Some Thoughts on Holocaust History and Memory”
DESCRIPTION:Alon Confino is a professor of history at the University of Virginia and at Ben-Gurion University.

He has published extensively on modern German and European history\, on nationhood\, memory\, and historical method. In the last few years he worked on the Holocaust and the result is Foundational Pasts: The Holocaust As Historical Understanding (Cambridge University Press\, New York\, 2012) and A World Without Jews: The Nazi Imagination from Persecution to Genocide (Yale University Press\, 2014)\, which won a 2011 Guggenheim Fellowship.  He is now at work on a book project on 1948 in Palestine\, at the center of which is the impact of Holocaust memories.

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.

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.
