SUMMARY:Sasha Turner\, "Negotiating Slavery and Motherhood on the Terrain of Feelings."
DESCRIPTION:This presentation centers on the story of Abba\, an enslaved woman who was the mother of an unusually large family in eighteenth century Jamaica. Abba had been pregnant thirteen times. She had ten live births and one still birth. We come to know Abba’s story through the diaries of Thomas Thistlewood\, notorious among scholars of slavery because of his practice of diarizing how he daily tortured the enslaved. In addition to her large family\, Abba stands out in the diaries because\, despite Thistlewood’s notoriety as a sadistic enslaver\, he whips Abba only three times in almost thirty years of claiming power over her life and body. By contrast\, Thistlewood was exceptionally generous to Abba providing her with well needed material goods to support her family and permitting her to perform spiritual rituals\, outlawed a felony\, to grieve the death of her children. Reading Abba’s life against the 18th Century burgeoning culture of sensibility\, including Thistlewood’s own displays of sympathy and grief to white community members\, this discussion explores Abba’s deployment of feelings in negotiating her condition. How did Abba’s displays of feeling mirror Thistlewood’s\, and what did Abba seek to gain by consistently exhibiting feelings in Thistlewood presence? \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Discussion of "The Notorious Mrs. Nobles: Jim Crow Gender and "Insanity" in Late Nineteenth-Century Georgia"
DESCRIPTION:A Discussion of Rebekka Michaelsen’s article-in-progress “The Notorious Mrs. Nobles: Jim Crow Gender and “Insanity” in Late Nineteenth-Century Georgia” \nThis article-in-progress recovers the case of Elizabeth Nobles\, an elderly\, poor white woman who conspired with her Black farm hand to murder her husband in rural Georgia in 1895. While other historians have demonstrated the importance of race and gender to the Jim Crow South\, this paper shows how notions of disability\, in this case “insanity\,” reinforced Jim Crow. While\, for Mrs. Nobles\, “insanity” became a reputable legal defense to save her life as well as a rhetorical apology for her transgression of Jim Crow racial and gender hierarchies\, “insanity” could simultaneously serve as way of “othering” and “defeminizing” Black women. \nDate: February 10th\, 11:30AM – 12:30PM \nThe zoom link and paper will be sent out a week in advance. Please email Rebeca Martinez at rmartnz165@g.ucla.edu to receive this information.

SUMMARY:Sarah Johnson\, "Between the Archive and the Speculative Turn: Notes toward a Biography of Moreau de Saint-Méry." - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:This talk has been POSTPONED. Future date TBD. \nThis talk considers the process of writing about the life and work of the Caribbean philosophe Moreau de Saint-Méry (1750-1819).  A lawyer\, printer\, naturalist\, and translator who was at the forefront of revolutionary politics on two continents\, Moreau was also a slaveholder who wrote about ideals of liberty even as he trafficked in human beings.  An ardent defender of slavery as an institution\, he nonetheless left some of the most detailed accounts of the social practices of enslaved women and men in the eighteenth-century Americas.  This talk explores who knew what\, and how\, using as an example entries from his manuscript Repértoire des Notions Coloniales that I have refashioned into my own Encyclopédie noire.  This work reconsiders how his production of colonial knowledge appears when assessed from alternate points of view.  In a similar vein\, I discuss the process and politics that surround a parallel project produced by Moreau’s brother-in-law\, Baudry des Lozières.  My methodology embraces the value of informed speculation—through chapters that experiment with form\, visual imagery\, and narrative voice—as a way to foreground the people of African descent who undergirded Moreau’s work on multiple levels\, from those who managed his household to those whose knowledge about language\, labor\, and community became the basis of his work.  I build upon fragmentary archival evidence to surmount the disproportionate influence of planters and administrators on Caribbean historiography.
