SUMMARY:Patrícia Martins Marcos\, UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Rising to the Challenge "The Empire of White Patriarchs: Population\, Race-Making\, and the Sciences of Human Improvement in the Afro-Luso-Brazilian Atlantic (1730-1800)"
DESCRIPTION:In 1750\, when the Brazilian border expanded by several orders of magnitude\, Portuguese Crown officials\, administrators\, and men of science received the news with hope and apprehension. While the growth of frontiers of Portugal’s possession in the Americas was celebrated\, it also presented formidable challenges for settlement. How could a diminutive metropole whose empire stretched across the four corners of the globe\, secure its new territorial gains? Drawing on Newtonian physics\, novel anthropological thinking about the human as a species\, and the accounting technology of “Political Arithmetic\,” Portuguese imperial administrators launched a policy known as the “political mechanism.” Recognizing how “population is everything\,” this talk historicizes the emergence of racial whitening (branqueamento) as a project of human improvement and “population multiplication.” Arguing that producing bigger and better population futures became the chief scientific project of eighteenth-century Portuguese imperialism\, I demonstrate how reform was undergirded by the forging of a new ideal of subjecthood: the salaried laborer. The salaried laborer became\, I argue\, the embodiment of a new ideal of whiteness (or white subjecthood). The end-goal of a new imperial science of human improvement was premised on the remolding of “rustics” into workers. In the Amazon\, the key site where I will focus on in this talk\, a new Crown policy promised to assimilate Amerindians and Roma people into whiteness through productive and reproducible labor. This talk excavates the racialized and gendered conditions of possibility for whitening through pronatalism\, human speciation\, and patriarchal rule. \nPatrícia Martins Marcos (Ph.D History and Science Studies) is a UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Rising to the Challenge at UCLA’s History Department of History and the Bunche Center for African American Studies. Her book manuscript\, Imperial Whiteness\, historicizes genealogies of racial improvement through whitening in the 18th Century Afro-Luso-Brazilian Atlantic by linking histories of the life sciences\, to medicine\, gender and sexuality\, and race. She is currently Associate Editor with the History of Anthropology Review and elected Early Career Representative for the History of Science Society—where she is also co-chair of the Early Sciences Forum. Her work has been supported by the Huntington Library\, the American Philosophical Society\, the Center for Black\, Brown\, and Queer Studies\, and the John Carter Brown Library. She is currently a fellow with the Folger Shakespeare Library and next Fall she will be a visiting fellow at the Department of History of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG–Brazil) . Her most recent “Blackness out of Place\,” was published with the Radical History Review and focuses on the epistemology of Black visual resistance in Portugal and its former imperial spaces. \nZoom Registration Here

SUMMARY:Mika Lior\, Assistant Professor of Performing Arts at the University of Malta\, "Circling With/In: Choreographies of Gendered & Regendered Agency in Bahian Candomblé"
DESCRIPTION:Mika Lior\, Assistant Professor of Performing Arts at the University of Malta\n“Circling With/In: Choreographies of Gendered & Regendered Agency in Bahian Candomblé” \nBased on history\, dance studies methodologies and critical ethnography\, this paper addresses choreographies of invocation and incorporation in the Afro-Brazilian ritual practice of Candomblé through the lens of indigenous feminisms and choreographic analysis. Looking closely at practitioners’ use of circular and cyclical movements and spatial pathways at a range of ceremonial sites in Salvador\, the capital of Bahia in Northeastern Brazil\, I show how Candomblé’s aesthetic principles and matri-focal social structures are similarly informed by what I call a feminist poiesis\, evidenced in ceremonial performance histories that privilege women’s bodies for mediumship. Intervening in the dominant representation of Candomblé’s spirit embodiments as acts of “possession\,” I attend to practitioners’ idioms of incorporation\, including circling with and in the saint –“rodar com o santo” and “rodar no santo\,” – to illustrate how ritual processes are actively constructed around intersubjective\, movement oriented ontologies as well as cycles of women’s reproductivity and Yoruba-Atlantic understandings of gendered agency. At the same time\, processes of incorporation instantiate a non-binary ontology of ritual gender fluidity through which male mediums take on structurally feminized roles. \nThis presentation concludes by considering how performance studies approaches such as choreographic analysis and dance practice under the tutelage of ritual experts can contribute to processes of intercultural knowledge production. I share my ethnographic dance film\, Ogum’s Story\, co-created with Candomblé elder Dona Cici\, as a model for thinking through circling with/in not only as an ontology of spirit embodiment but also a collaborative\, mutually reciprocal research method. \nZoom RSVP Here
