SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Accumulation by Dispossession: The Timber Salvage Project on Ghana’s Volta Lake
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThis talk draws on the timber salvage project on Ghana’s Volta Lake to theorize how accumulation by dispossession is reproduced through contemporary environmental governance. It situates salvage within the lake’s longer history of state-led development and displacement following the Akosombo Dam. Framed around sustainability\, safety\, and economic opportunity\, timber extraction reworks a shared lake space into a site of value capture. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and document analysis\, the talk shows how state and corporate actors consolidate profit through restricted access and uneven benefit sharing. It traces global connections and foregrounds the inequalities and injustice enacted\, advancing debates on green grabbing and environmental justice. \nEric Tamatey Lawer is a human geographer whose research and teaching lie at the intersection of human geography and development studies. His work is grounded in the political ecology of natural resources\, examining how power\, policy\, and spatial transformations shape livelihoods and environments in Africa and beyond. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Ghana Studies Research Focus Group\, Department of History\, Environmental Studies Program\, and Africa Center

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: American Jadoo: Fakers\, Fakirs\, and Asian American Performing Artists
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerIn this talk\, Shreeyash Palshikar will analyze images of Indian magic in American popular culture. He will highlight the little-known stories and images of the first Indian magicians to perform in the United States and consider the American performers—black and white—who also donned Indian costumes\, created Indian personae\, and performed as Indian magicians from the golden age of magic in the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. The talk will begin with an introduction to magic in India\, explore how Indian magicians came to the United States via the UK\, and conclude with an analysis of Indian magic in the US. In his talk\, Dr. Palshikar will draw on methods from cultural history\, anthropology\, political science\, and religious studies. \nShreeyash Palshikar holds a PhD in South Asian Studies from the University of Chicago and has taught at Oxford\, Yale\, and the School of Oriental and African Studies in London\, as well as Albright College and the University of Pittsburgh. He is the first person to win a prestigious Fulbright Nehru Senior Research Fellowship to study traditional Indian magicians\, and he is developing a book\, web series\, and live show based on his experiences. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Secret Clocks: The U.S. Military\, Einstein's Relativity\, and the Global Positioning System
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerFor nearly a decade\, beginning in the mid-1970s\, a debate unfolded among physicists and engineers over how best to include effects from Einstein’s general theory of relativity in the new military technology now known as the Global Positioning System (GPS). Although some exchanges were published in the open scientific literature\, much of the debate played out behind the scenes\, in memos\, reports\, and special review sessions arranged by the U.S. military. Theoretical physicists who had no relationship with the project criticized early efforts to incorporate relativistic effects within GPS designs\, complaining that significant information was not shared by military contractors. Other experts in relativity\, who consulted more closely with the U.S. Air Force while GPS was under development\, responded that the outside critics had little relevant experience with real-world engineering applications\, and that their criticisms amounted to mathematical irrelevancies. Throughout the debate\, few doubted that relativity — with its counterintuitive notions of space and time — needed to be taken seriously in the design and operation of GPS. Rather\, they disagreed over how best to incorporate deep lessons from relativity in an engineering-relevant way\, at a time when the stakes for the new military technology loomed large. \nDavid Kaiser is Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science and Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of several award-winning books about modern physics. His latest book\, Quantum Legacies: Dispatches from an Uncertain World (2020)\, was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title and also honored as among the best books of the year by Physics Today and Physics World magazines. A Fellow of the American Physical Society\, Kaiser has received MIT’s highest awards for excellence in teaching. His work has been featured in Science\, Nature\, the New York Times\, and the New Yorker magazine. His physics group’s recent efforts to conduct a “Cosmic Bell” test of quantum entanglement\, in collaboration with Nobel laureate Anton Zeilinger\, were featured in the documentary film Einstein’s Quantum Riddle. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group and the Department of History

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Thanatofuturism: Making Space for the Marginal at a Tomb Shrine in Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerIn the middle of Bangalore\, India\, a small dargah (Sufi tomb shrine) is a space of possibility for multiple marginalized groups\, facilitating imagined futures that include Muslims\, subaltern Hindus\, Dalits\, and hijras as full citizens of the Indian polity. At a time when powerful actors seek to limit national belonging to certain Hindu Indians\, Anna Bigelow argues that we have much to learn from such shrines and the people who intersect through them as they ground possible futures in the ethics and etiquette of the saintly dead and their spaces. \nAnna Bigelow is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Stanford University\, specializing in Islamic Studies and the religions of South Asia and the Middle East. Her work focuses on Muslim devotional life\, especially sacred spaces and ritual practice. Her current research concerns the circulation of devotional objects at Sufi shrines in India and Turkey. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group\, Walter H.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Diving Into the Lake: On the Necessity\, Joy\, and Anxiety of (Re)Translating Tulsidas’s Rāmcaritmānas
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThe epic retelling of the Rāmāyaṇa\, composed in ca. 1574 CE by the saintly poet Tulsidas\, in the dialect of Hindi known as Avadhi\, has long been considered one of the most sacred and beloved texts of the North Indian Hindu tradition. It has also\, through ten complete English renderings\, become one of the most translated works of premodern Indian vernacular literature. In this talk\, Philip Lutgendorf will first briefly introduce the epic and some of its notable features as a work in the larger “Rāmāyaṇa tradition\,” which has its locus classicus in the Sanskrit epic attributed to the sage Valmiki (ca. 3rd century BCE?). He will then reflect on the difficulties that the text presents for the translator into English\, discuss why he is offering a new translation at this time\, and share some examples of his approach. \nPhilip Lutgendorf is Professor Emeritus of Hindi and Modern Indian Studies at the University of Iowa. His research focuses on written and oral narrative traditions of South Asia and on Indian film. He served as President of the American Institute of Indian Studies (2010–2018) and currently chairs its Board of Trustees. His publications include The Life of a Text Performing the Ramcaritmanas of Tulsidas (1991); Hanuman’s Tale\, The Messages of a Divine Monkey (2007); and The Epic of Ram\, a seven-volume edition and translation of the Rāmcaritmānas for the Murty Classical Library of India (2016–2023). \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Saving the Dead: Conceptions of Agency in Tibetan Buddhist Funerary Rituals
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerIn this talk\, Rory Lindsay will share with us insights from his forthcoming book\, Saving the Dead: Tibetan Funerary Rituals in the Tradition of the Sarvadurgatipariśodhana Tantra (2022). He will discuss the history of one of the first Buddhist funerary traditions to be adopted in Tibet and the intersecting forms of agency—human\, nonhuman\, and material—that are described in this tradition’s ritual manuals. He will also examine polemical exchanges about these practices and Tibetan innovations concerning how the dead are conceptualized and assisted in this ritual framework. \nRory Lindsay is an Assistant Professor in the Department for the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto. He is also a research editor at 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha and a visiting scholar at the Buddhist Texts Translation Initiative at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His research interests include Tibetan Buddhist ritual\, dream literature\, biography\, and Buddhist canons. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group and Buddhist Studies

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk:  Hungry Ghosts and the Karma of Meanness
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThe realm of hungry ghosts is one of the unfortunate realms of rebirth in the Buddhist cycle of existence\, and those reborn there are said to have led lives consumed by greed and spite. But hungry ghosts know the error of their ways\, and they sometimes appear among humans\, like the ghosts that haunt Ebenezer Scrooge\, as augurs of what may await. Hungry ghosts are like modern felons who participate in “scared straight” programs. In the past they broke the law (dharma)\, and now they suffer the terrible consequences because of justice (karma). And since they don’t want others to make the same mistakes\, they speak passionately and honestly\, hoping to scare humanity straight. The cause of all this misery\, according to some of our earliest sources\, is the cultivation of meanness (mātsarya)\, which makes people miserly\, spiteful\, cruel\, immoral\, and oblivious to their own self-righteousness. How do we avoid such a fate? \nAndy Rotman is the Sydenham Clark Parsons Professor and Chair of Religion\, Buddhist Studies\, and South Asian Studies at Smith College. He has been engaged in textual and ethnographic work on religious and social life in South Asia for more than twenty-five years. His publications include Hungry Ghosts (2021)\, Divine Stories: Divyāvadāna\, Part 1 and Part 2 (2008 and 2017)\, Thus Have I Seen: Visualizing Faith in Early Indian Buddhism (2009)\, and a co-authored volume\, Amar Akbar Anthony: Bollywood\, Brotherhood\, and the Nation (2015). \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group and the Buddhist Studies Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Making Sense of Melothesia: Embodying the Zodiac in Ancient Rome and India
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerIn this talk Tejas Aralere will present a comparative analysis of the zodiacal melothesia as it appears in Manilius’s Astronomica\, a Latin astrological epic poem (ca. 20–40 CE)\, and in Sphujidhvaja’s Yavana Jātaka ( “Greek Horoscopy”)\, a Sanskrit astrological treatise (ca. second century CE). Melothesia refers to the mapping of the twelve signs of the Babylonian zodiac on twelve regions of the human body over which they possess particular influence. In a brief discussion of the connections between these two texts\, Aralere will show how the Romans and Indians employ the zodiacal melothesia in strikingly different ways and for different purposes that reflect their distinctive cultural contexts. This makes earlier theories that posit “direct transmission” of the Yavana Jātaka from Greece to India highly implausible. Aralere’s comparative study will illuminate the connections between Manilius’s use of melothesia and Roman imperial political ideologies and Sphujidhvaja’s use of melothesia and Vedic ritual and legal traditions. \nThis event will be held in person (4080 HSSB) with the option to join via Zoom here: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/81601164112. \nTejas Aralere is a doctoral student in the Department of Classics at UC Santa Barbara. His research explores the complex networks of exchange of ancient astronomical\, astrological\, and medical knowledge between the Mediterranean and India and seeks to re-evaluate Orientalist narratives that claim that “rational” scientific knowledge flowed unidirectionally from the ancient Mediterranean to India. \nSponsored by the IHC South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group and UCSB Department of Classics

SUMMARY:Talk: Missing Babies and Tacit Tolerance of Infanticide in Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerAggressive criminal prosecution of unwed mothers who killed their newborns in early modern Europe (1550-1750) has led historians to assume that Europe was less tolerant of illegitimacy and infanticide than other pre-modern societies\, including China and Japan. New research throws this assumption into question. In early modern Geneva\, authorities often turned a blind eye to the untimely deaths and abandonment of unwanted bastards. These findings suggest that Europeans took a more practical approach to managing fertility than we had thought. \nSara Beam\, Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Victoria (Canada)\, is the author of numerous works on judicial violence\, including torture\, in early modern Europe\, with a special expertise on the city of Geneva. She is especially interested in the definition and prosecution of early modern “women’s” crimes\, including infanticide and adultery. She is completing a book manuscript on the decline of judicial torture in Europe from 1550-1750 and an edition and translation of a seventeenth-century infanticide trial. Her first book\, Laughing Matters: Farce and the Making of Absolutism in France (2007)\, won the Roland H. Bainton Prize for History. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of History\, Early Modern Center\, Department of French and Italian\, and the Hull Chair in Women’s Studies

SUMMARY:Talk: The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThis talk will examine the roots of the American system for electing its president and explore the possibility—as well as the feasibility—of changing the existing system. The origins of the Electoral College lay in a series of tumultuous conflicts at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. At stake was not only what the presidency should entail but how the new chief executive should be elected. Memories of George III’s abuses of power haunted delegates. Fears of mob rule competed with anxieties over lodging too much power in the hands of a single individual. Representatives jealously guarded their own states’ prerogatives. The solution—the Electoral College—was a jerry-built compromise that satisfied no one completely. \nAlmost as soon as it went into operation\, the flaws and defects of the Electoral College became evident. The emergence of a two-party political system intensified its structural weaknesses. Yet the system has endured. The question facing Americans today is: What can be done to remedy the inadequacies of the Electoral College? \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Black Studies\, Department of History\, Department of Political Science\, and The Capps Center

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Approaching Classical Chinese Poetry in Early Modern Japan: Intralingual and Interlingual Translation Strategies in Japanese "Remarks on Poetry"
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerResidents of the Japanese archipelago have been avid readers of classical Chinese texts in a great many genres from the very origins of literacy down to the present day. To varying degrees over the centuries\, they have also been enthusiastic creators of such texts. This talk examines how authors from the latter half of the early modern period (1603–1868) conceptualized and discussed the reception and composition of Sinitic poetry. What strategies did they use to make Sinitic poetry intelligible to a readership that did not speak Chinese? How did they understand these practices\, and how should we think about them? What do their writings tell us about how they perceived the borders between the Japanese and Chinese languages? \nMatthew Fraleigh is Associate Professor of East Asian Literature and Culture at Brandeis University. His research concerns the literature of early modern and modern Japan\, especially kanshibun (Sinitic poetry and prose). His work has appeared in numerous journals\, and he is the author of two books focused on the nineteenth-century Sinological scholar\, poet\, and journalist Narushima Ryūhoku.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: Personhood: Do We Make It or Know It?
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThis workshop will discuss the precirculated first chapter from Jeannine DeLombard’s current book manuscript\, “Bound to Respect: Democratic Dignity and the Indignities of Slavery.” \nFor many of us today\, the artifice of legal personhood – the corporate person in particular – provokes outrage. Focusing on the legal fiction of slave personhood\, this paper argues that in the 19th-century U.S.\, the greater danger came from naturalizing this artifice by attaching it to actual African American people\, regardless of condition. This reconsideration of legal personhood contributes to current efforts by political theorists\, legal historians\, classicists\, and philosophers to historicize the concept of dignity prior to the 20th-century human rights regime. DeLombard contends that what critic and novelist Ralph Ellison once called “the indignities of slavery” pertained less to the metaphysical value of humans than to the status of legal persons. Brown-bag lunches are welcome. \nJeannine DeLombard is Associate Professor of English at UC Santa Barbara. She is the author of In the Shadow of the Gallows: Race\, Crime\, and American Civic Identity (Penn\, 2012) and Slavery on Trial: Law\, Abolitionism\, and Print Culture (UNC\, 2007). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Dred Scott & the Retroactive Invention of Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerHow did Americans understand citizenship before it was defined in the 14th Amendment?\nIf U.S. citizenship was only defined after abolition and emancipation\, how did slavery shape American citizenship? \nCome and talk about these and related issues of race and civic belonging as Professor Carrie Hyde (UCLA) joins us for a brown bag discussion of the (pre-circulated) first chapter of her recent book\, Civic Longing: The Speculative Origins of U.S. Citizenship (Harvard\, 2018). \nProfessor Hyde’s teaching and scholarship address the dynamic connections between US literature\, law\, and politics in the long nineteenth century. Her first book\, Civic Longing\, offers a new prehistory of citizenship. It examines the central role that fiction and other imaginative traditions played in shaping emergent conceptions of “citizenship” in the period before the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment (1868)\, when the law was not yet the default cultural tradition for asking and answering questions about citizenship. Civic Longing won the 2018 Gustave O. Arlt Award in the Humanities; it also was cited as one of the best books of 2018 in the Australian Book Review. \nPlease click here to access the pre-circulated paper prior to the discussion. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Talk: Lawyers and Legal Consciousness in Early Modern Europe: A Cultural History
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerMichael P. Breen is the author of Law\, City\, and King: Legal Culture\, Municipal Politics and State Formation in Early Modern Dijon (2007) and numerous articles on lawyers and legal culture in early modern France. In this talk\, he will address the following question: “Historians have long believed that lawyers played a central role in the dissemination of legal knowledge and the ideal of the ‘rule of law’ in early modern Europe. Recent scholarship\, however\, has called this view into question\, emphasizing instead the ways ordinary men and women appropriated the law and its institutions for their own ends. This talk will reconsider the ways legal professionals helped mediate the development of early modern legal consciousness by examining their activities beyond the courtroom and the identities they fashioned for themselves not as legal experts\, but as intellectuals\, literary figures\, and political actors. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the Department of History\, the Department of French and Italian\, and the Early Modern Center

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Finding Echigo in Edo: Snow Country Migrants and their Urban Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThe Echigo province migrant was a familiar type in nineteenth-century Edo. Every year in the tenth month\, snow country peasants would come down the mountains on the Nakasendō Highway and enter the city through Itabashi Station. They wandered down the main street in Hongō\, where they were met by labor scouts who had learned to recognize their bewildered expressions and country accents. Many ended up in the city’s notorious boarding houses for laborers\, where they were dispatched to rice polishers and bathhouses. Others found work in service with the help of migrants who had come before. Most went home eventually\, but others stayed on in the city to become shop owners\, peddlers\, and even low-ranking samurai. This talk delineates the importance of regional connections and rural-urban migration in the development of Japan’s largest city\, and considers how documents kept in far-flung places can illuminate urban space. \nAmy Stanley is associate professor in the History Department at Northwestern University\, where she teaches early modern and modern Japanese and global history. She is author of Selling Women: Prostitution\, Households\, and the Market in Early Modern Japan (UC Press\, 2012) and “Maidservants’ Tales: Narrating Domestic and Global History in Eurasia\, 1500-1800” (AHR\, 2016). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Reinventing Japan RFG; the Department of History; and the Schlaijker Fund.
