SUMMARY:LAIS Welcome Back Lunch / Tertulia
DESCRIPTION:Khipu\, and Andean Instrument of Management\, Memory and Power with Dr. Lydia Fossa\nIn our first tertulia of the year\, Peruvian researcher Lydia Fossa will discuss her most recent findings on khipus\, the famed bunches of colored cords dotted with knots used by the Inkas\, revealing them as instruments of\nmanagement\, memory and power. Was the khipu limited to representing a particular language or were its symbols comprehensible to all inhabitants of the Inka empire? If so\, asks Dr. Fossa\, can we say\nthat literacy did not exist in Ancient Peru?

SUMMARY:History of Art and Architecture 2019-2020 Lecture Series: Making. "Were They Enslaved? A New Look at Maya Figurines"
DESCRIPTION:Please join the LAIS Community in attending the Department of History of Art and Architecture’s public lecture “Were They Enslaved? A New Look at Maya Figurines”\, delivered by Mary Miller (Director\, The Getty Research Institute) Maya figurines of the 8th century from the island of Jaina\, off Yucatan\, Mexico\, long admired for their lifelike\, poignant\, and sometimes amusing characteristics\, reveal a complexity of Maya practice rarely seen in other media\, such as painted ceramics or monumental sculpture. The figurines can be seen through a variety of lenses: recent archaeology has provided rich new contexts for consideration and extensive examination of hundreds of examples in Mexico\, Europe\, and the United States makes it possible to see previously unrecognized roles and rituals\, as well as patterns of facture and distribution. Additionally\, identification of patterns of costume and accouterment offers fresh insights into this elegant figurine tradition. Dr. Mary Miller is the Director of the Getty Research Institute. A specialist in the art of the ancient New World\, she is the author of The Murals of Bonampak\, The Art of Mesoamerica (now in its 6th edition)\, Maya Art and Architecture (with Megan O’Neil)\, and editor of Painting a Map of Mexico City (with Barbara Mundy)\, among several other books. She has also curated multiple important exhibitions including The Courtly Art of the Ancient Maya at the National Gallery of Art\, Washington\, D.C. and the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and co-curated The Blood of Kings with Linda Schele at the Kimbell Art Museum. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, Dr. Miller has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the Getty. Prior to becoming the Director of the Getty Research Institute in January 2019\, she was the Sterling Professor of the History of Art at Yale University\, the Senior Director of Yale’s Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage\, and became the first woman to be Dean of Yale College when she served from 2008-2014. \nHAA Event Page

SUMMARY:Carlos Aguirre at the Colloquium for Latin American and Caribbean History
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we host Prof. Carlos Aguirre for a talk entitled “Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic: The Biography of Vargas Llosa’s La ciudad y los perros”.\n  \nAbstract\nMario Vargas Llosa’s first novel\, La ciudad y los perros (Barcelona\, 1963)\, marked the beginning of the author’s outstanding literary career but also\, according to many\, of the “Latin American boom\,” a literary\, political\, and publishing phenomenon that changed the landscape of Latin American and world literature. A novel about a group of adolescents in a military school in Lima that was widely read as a critique of Peruvian militaristic\, machista\, and authoritarian culture\, it became an almost instant classic but was also involved in a series of literary and political controversies. Exploring the role of literary and friendship networks\, the Spanish publishing industry\, the negotiations with Franco’s censorship office\, the scandals that surrounded its reception\, and the political climate of the time\, this talk will reconstruct the process by which the manuscript of a novel written by an almost unknown author became a powerful literary\, cultural\, and political artifact.\n  \nAbout\nCarlos Aguirre is Professor of History at the University of Oregon and the author or editor of several books on slavery and abolition\, crime and punishment\, intellectuals\, and the history of Lima. His most recent publications include The Peculiar Revolution. Rethinking the Peruvian Experiment under Military Rule\, co-edited with Paulo Drinot (2017) and Bibliotecas y Cultura Letrada en América Latina. Siglos XIX y XX\, co-edited with Ricardo Salvatore (2018). For more information on professor Aguirre’s works\, see https://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~caguirre/home.html.\n  \nWith support from the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, the History Department Colloquium Committee\, the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program\, and the Program in Comparative Literature
