SUMMARY:Haunting the Canon: The Super-phenomena in Art
DESCRIPTION:LAIS is pleased to co-sponsor the Art History Graduate Student Association’s 45th annual symposium! \nThis virtual symposium is an opportunity for students and scholars across the humanities to engage in a critical dialogue while maintaining a focus on images and material objects. This year’s theme asks participants to challenge colonialist conceptions of mystical\, spiritual\, and alchemical subjects. We are honored to host Associate Professor of English at Fordham University Robb Hernández as our keynote speaker. His revisionist scholarship concerning alternative Latinx archives\, AIDS\, and speculative aesthetics will be of great interest to many scholars in our community. \nMore details coming soon…

SUMMARY:International Graduate Student Conference: Borders\, Power and Transgression
DESCRIPTION:A border is what separates things\, and the border’s very existence is inseparable both from the power that sustains it and from the possibility of its transgression. In recent years\, the relationship between borders—political\, geographical and symbolic—and State power has taken on a special significance in the public arena. Transgression\, for its part\, is an ambivalent term\, as it may encompass very different ideas—from resistance against oppression to the erosion of institutions on behalf of authoritarianism or corporate profit. Analyzing borders and power must take this ambivalence into account.\n\nIn this conference graduate students from the US and the world will discuss borders as a broad and fluid concept\, encompassing not only geographical or political boundaries\, but also questions like gender\, race\, ethnicity\, discursive practices\, and more broadly\, notions like limit\, frontier\, division and critique. There will be contributions from a variety of disciplines in the social sciences\, the humanities and the arts. \n\nRegister to attend this conference and the keynote talks here. \n  \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\nKEYNOTE GUESTS\n\n\nPANEL ABSTRACTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynotes \nApril 7\, 3:00PM to 4:30PM (PST)\nConversation with historian Christine Hünefeldt: Crafting Borders?\nWith the participation of: Marlene Torres-Magaña and Emma Zamora Garcia.\nCHRISTINE HUNEFELDT\nProfessor Emeritus\, History\, University of California San Diego\n\nApril 8\, 1:30PM to 3:00PM (PST)\nBorder Thinking & Living la Vida Fronteriza (the Border Life)\nMELISSA WRIGHT\nProfessor\, Geography\,  Pennsylvania State University\n\nApril 9\, 2:00PM to 3:30PM (PST)\nAssessing the Damage: Reflections on the Trump Administration’s Dismantling of the U.S. Asylum System\nKAI MEDEIROS\, J.D.\nStaff Attorney\, American Bar Association\, Immigration Justice Project\, San Diego

SUMMARY:A Wave of Difference: Language Expression in the Argentine Feminist Imaginary
DESCRIPTION:Join this LAIS co-sponsored event to hear from Nicolas Cuello (National University of La Plata\, Argentina).\n\nLink: https://tinyurl.com/ve3fxb6c (Passcode: argentina)\n\nIn the context of a disproportionate increase in sexual violence against cis\, trans\, and transvestite women since 2015\, Argentine feminisms have prefigured the untimely irruption of public space in both process and form. The movements; interventions not only impact the social conditions and the epistemic tools for popular intelligibility of language expression of gender violence\, through an innovative use of communication technologies and social networks\, but also articulate\, from the multidimensionality in which inequality operates by gender and more broadly\, a transversal resistance to the oppressive characteristics that would accompany the neoliberal turn produced by public policy under President Mauricio Macri’s corporate governance mandate (2015-2019). This new state of public attention and mass representation allowed a reorganization of desires to spread and multiply across territories\, professional careers\, bodies\, and communities throughout the country\, which would forever transform the contours of a traditionally instituted political subject\, expanding its affective capacity to rework new forms of connection between the personal and the political\, extending the singular opportunity of its criticism to all spheres of social organization. In this way\, local feminisms constructed networks of theoretical exchange and practical solidarity between cis and trans women\, which to this day connect\, in a complex way and not without tension\, a concert of experiences that link and incorporate radical differences and specific demands of the sectors of working women\, ecologists\, diverse functional\, queer\, unionists\, anti-racists\, piqueteras\, educators\, prostitutes and racialized\, among many others\, in a structural critique of the functioning capitalist economic order.\n\nNicolás Cuello is a PhD candidate at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research in Argentina. He is affiliated to the Gino Germani Research Institute at the University of Buenos Aires and also works as an Assistant Professor at the National University of the Arts. As an archivist he is part of the iniciative “Sex and Revolution” a Programme of feminist and sexed/gendered political memories at CeDInCI\, the Centre for Documentation and Research on Leftist Culture. His work focuses on the intersection of artistic practices\, queer politics\, critical representations of negative emotions and alternative graphic cultures in Argentina.

SUMMARY:Tertulia | Race and Caste in Latin America\, India\, and the USA: A Global Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a LAIS Tertulia in the Time of COVID\, 2020-2021!\n\nIn her widely acclaimed book Caste: The Origins of our Discontents\, Isabel Wilkerson complicates the category of race\, as it is commonly understood in the US\, by bringing caste to the fore. She discusses the “caste” historical experience of the US in light of those in Nazi Germany and India. Insofar as the term “caste” was first introduced in India by the Portuguese at a time when the Spanish and Portuguese empires had a global colonial reach\, Wilkerson’s book provides a perfect pretext for the Program in Latin American and Iberian Studies (LAIS) to launch a global conversation. In this roundtable\, UCSB faculty from Black Studies\, History\, and LAIS specialized in the US\, India\, and Latin America discuss their take on caste\, race\, and Isabel Wilkerson.\n\nSpeakers (UC Santa Barbara)\nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He specializes in the history of modern South Asia\, British imperialism\, and agrarian commodities in global markets. His essays have appeared in A Cultural History of Western Empires\, the South African Historical Journal\, Historical Reflections\, English Language Notes\, and the edited volume Animalia: An Anti-Imperial Bestiary for our Times. He is currently working on a monograph on cannabis and empire in British India.\n\nCecilia Méndez  is a Peruvian historian specialized in the social and political history of the Andean region.She is the director of the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara and an Associated Professor in History. Her work calls the attention on the importance of late eighteenth-century\, and nineteenth-century political developments in shaping modern conceptions nationhood\, citizenship\, and  “race.”\n\nTerrance Wooten is an Assistant Professor in Black Studies. He is currently working on his first book manuscript\, “Lurking in the Shadows of Home: Homelessness\, Carcerality\, and the Figure of the Sex Offender\,” which examines how those who have been designated “sex offenders” and are homeless in the Maryland/DC area are managed and regulated through social policies\, sex offender registries\, and urban and architectural design. His scholarly interests are located at the intersections of Black studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, studies of poverty and homelessness\, and carceral studies. \n\nJoin us: bit.ly/LAISTertulia \n(Zoom ID: 840 6161 2112)

SUMMARY:Tertulia: Social Movements\, Identity\, and Resistance in Contemporary Nicaragua
DESCRIPTION:You can watch a recording of this Tertulia here: https://youtu.be/zXXfEU7ThzQ\n\nJoin us for a LAIS Tertulia in the Time of COVID\, 2020-2021!\n\nThe people of Nicaragua have faced a series of compounding crises over the past decade: the growing authoritarianism of the Ortega-Murillo government\, assaults on women’s and LGBT rights\, colonization of indigenous and Afro-descendant communities’ territory\, and\, in 2018\, mass protests that were harshly repressed by pro-government forces. In the face of these crises and threats\, social movements\, activists\, artists\, opposition politicians\, and communities have mobilized to resist government policies and assert their rights. As Nicaragua confronts the COVID-19 crisis with a denialist and obstructive government response and with elections looming in 2021\, this roundtable discussion explores the ideas and actions of different sectors of Nicaraguan society and what visions and lessons they might have for the country’s future.\n\n\nSpeakers: Cristina Awadalla (Sociology\, UC Santa Barbara)\, Jennifer Goett (Comparative Cultures & Politics\, Michigan State University)\, Mateo Jarquín (History\, Chapman University) and Emilia Yang (Media Arts + Practice\, University of Southern California).\n\nModerated by Kai Thaler (Global Studies\, UC Santa Barbara) and with comments by Charles Hale (Dean of Social Sciences\, UC Santa Barbara).\n\n\nJoin us: http://bit.ly/LAISTertuliaDec2020 \n(Zoom ID: 889 8816 2941)

SUMMARY:Ixil Maya Resistance against Megaprojects in Cotzal\, Guatemala
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from Dr. Giovanni Batz (UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow\, UC Davis) about “Ixil Maya Resistance against Megaprojects in Cotzal\, Guatemala” \n\nAmong the Ixil Maya of Guatemala\, the arrival of megaprojects is referred to as the “new invasion”. This presentation examines a movement in Cotzal\, Guatemala against the construction of the Palo Viejo hydroelectric plant built by the Italian company Enel on the finca San Francisco from 2008-2012. The struggle was characterized by peaceful resistance\, a four-month blockade\, and the arrival of the military. I argue that the arrival of megaprojects\, such as Palo Viejo\, continues the history of a colonial logic of extraction\, and is an extension of the historical tensions between the Indigenous Peoples\, the fincas\, and the Guatemalan state.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Global Studies Department\, Anthropology Department\, Latin American and Iberian Studies\, and Program\, and American Indian and Indigenous Collective.\n\nJoin us on Zoom: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/87106420611

SUMMARY:Coronavirus and Historical Patterns of Epidemics in Latin America
DESCRIPTION:A Zoom Talk by Dr. Marcos Cueto\n\nWednesday\, May 13\, at 12 pm – 1:30 pm (PST)\, via Zoom\n\nAbstract. Historical studies on epidemics in Latin America have magnified fragilities in public health structures\, revealed the vulnerability of the poor and discovered cases of heroism under adversity. They have also identified an historical trend –revived in the contemporary crisis caused by Covid-19– characterized by a reductionism in the explanation of the social factors that sustain epidemics\, insufficient and contradictory official responses and stigma against marginal groups. This presentation will discuss the main historical patterns of response to epidemics in Latin America\, especially in Brazil\, during the late 20th and early 21st centuries and relate them to the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nMarcos Cueto is Professor of History of Health at the Casa Oswaldo Cruz\, FIOCRUZ\, in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, and a Researcher in the Instituto de Estudios Peruanos in Lima.

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:5th Bi-Annual Sal Castro Memorial Conference on the Emerging Historiography of the Chicano Movement
DESCRIPTION:The 5th Bi-Annual Sal Castro Memorial Conference on the Emerging Historiography of the Chicano Movement to be held Feb. 28-29\, 2020 in the McCune Room of the IHC. The conference is named after Sal Castro\, one of the major historical figures of the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Sal Castro\, as a high school teacher in the East Los Angeles public schools\, inspired the Chicano high school students to engage in the East L.A. “Blowouts” or walkouts\, the largest high school strike in American history. The students walked out of their schools for a week to protest decades of discrimination and inferior education administered to Mexican American students not only in Los Angeles but throughout the Southwest where the majority of Mexican Americans lived at that time. The 5th Sal Castro Memorial Conference will build on the successes of the previous four held in 2012\, 2014\, 2016\, and 2018. The 5th Bi-Annual Sal Castro Memorial Conference will bring together 28 participants who in the two days of the conference will again bring to light many new and exciting aspects of the Chicano Movement. These conferences have made UCSB into the center of Chicano Movement Studies. Focusing on the civil rights struggles of the Chicano Movement is also a way in which these conferences help to revise the meaning of civil rights history by expanding it from a strictly black-white history to a multi-racial history including the significant role of Chicanos. At a larger level\, the conferences help to further revise the meaning of American history to include and integrate groups such as Chicanos and other Latinos in that history. Chicano history is American history.

SUMMARY:"Transcorporeality in Black Atlantic Religions”\, a talk with Roberto Strongman
DESCRIPTION:Roberto Strongman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Black Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. \nThis presentation establishes Transcorporeality as the distinct Afro-Diasporic cultural representation of the human psyche as multiple\, removable and external to a body that functions as its receptacle. This unique view of the body\, preserved in its most evident form in African religious traditions on both sides of the Atlantic\, allows the regendering of the bodies of initiates who are mounted and ridden by deities of a gender different than their own during the ritual ecstasy of trance possession. Through discussions of novels\, paintings\, films and interviews\, the presentation assembles and interprets a representative collection of such transcendental moments in which the commingling of the human and the divine produces subjectivities whose genders are unconstrained by biological sex due to the flexibility that this non-Cartesian corporeal model affords. \nRoberto Strongman is LAIS faculty.

SUMMARY:Robespierre de Oliveira\, "The State of the Opposition in Brazil"
DESCRIPTION:With the impeachment of Brazilian President Dilma in 2016 the right and extreme right came to power as the opposition split.

SUMMARY:Antithetical Landscapes in Spanish and Catalan Nationalism By Prof. Joan Ramon Resina - Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Landscape is sometimes considered the product of human relations and economic activity. But it can also be an exercise in projection\, the formation of what the psychological literature knows as a construct. Landscape can\, in other words\, serve as a screen to represent an abstract or ideological conception of the society that begets it. Such projections can turn an actual landscape into an idea\, or they can idealize social relations in representations of the landscape. This lecture will examine the role of the landscape in the formalization of the two major ideas of nation in the Iberian Peninsula at the turn of the XIXth century\, namely the myth of Castile created by the writers of the Generation of ’98 and the ideal of a classic Catalan country theorized by noucentisme’s primary spokesman Eugeni d’Ors.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Professor Juan and Natalie Cobo's La legislación de la arquidiócesis de Santafé en el periodo colonial [The legislation of the archdiocese of Santafé in the colonial period]
DESCRIPTION:About the Book \nThe Catholic Church played a central role in shaping how early modern Spaniards arranged their own lives and attempted to transform those of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the Philippines to suit their vision of civilization. The early years of Iberian colonialism also coincided with a period of profound transformation within the Catholic Church — catalysed by the Reformation — which sought to centralize and homogenize its own practices. Because the reforms introduced by the Church in this period\, spearheaded by the Council of Trent\, were orientated towards the situation in Europe\, ecclesiastics in the New World\, who confronted a vastly different range of issues\, had great freedoms to adapt and develop the spirit of these changes to local circumstances. A key way in which they did so was through the production of ecclesiastical legislation\, whether issued individually by bishops or in assemblies of clerics such as synods and provincial councils. \nThis book contains the first critical edition of all of the ecclesiastical legislation promulgated during the colonial period in the archdiocese of Santafé in the New Kingdom of Granada\, a vast region covering much of the territory of modern-day Colombia. It brings together the constitutions of the first and second synod of Santafé\, of 1556 and 1606\, the influential Catechism and instructions of fray Luis Zapata de Cárdenas\, composed in 1576\, and the never before published constitutions of the first and only provincial council held there during the colonial period\, in 1625. This legislation was essential to the development of the Church in the region\, and particularly the evangelization of indigenous people\, and therefore provides key insights into how colonial society was constructed and consolidated in this period. Moreover\, because the authors of these texts worked not in isolation but by drawing on a multitude of legal\, theological\, and pastoral sources that originated in different places and moments\, in a complex process of translation and adaptation\, the book explores what these texts reveal about how knowledge and ideas circulated in the early modern world\, and the place that the New Kingdom of Granada occupied in the networks of exchange and communication that connected it. \nThis edition\, with an extensive introduction\, critical apparatus\, and a translation into Spanish of Latin texts\, aims to make these important sources available to a much broader community of scholars in order to open this field to new research. \nThe book will be presented\, in Spanish\, by Juan Carlos Estenssoro\, professor and director of the Center for Research on Colonial Spanish America of l’Université Sorbonne Nouvelle\, Paris 3\, and Cecilia Méndez Gastelumendi\, associate professor of History and director of the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program at UCSB. The panel will be moderated by Juan Pablo Lupi\, associate professor of in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UCSB. \nAbout the authors: \nJuan Cobo Betancourt is assistant professor of history at UCSB. He completed his BA\, MPhil\, and PhD in history at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on questions of race\, language\, law\, and religion in the New Kingdom of Granada\, and seek to situate the study of this region in a broader geographic and temporal context\, while taking advantage of the region’s distinctive position to explore key themes in early modern social and cultural history. His first book\, Mestizos heraldos de Dios (2012)\, was also published by the Colombian Institute of History and Anthropology. \nNatalie Cobo is an historian and translator of early modern Latin texts. She completed her BA and MPhil in Classics at the University of Cambridge\, and is currently a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford\, where she focuses on questions of religion\, law\, and ethnology in the 16th and 17th-century Philippines. She is also translating the second volume of Juan de Solórzano y Pereira’s De Indiarum Iure\, entitled De gubernatione (1629) from Latin into Spanish and English at the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History. \nThey are both co-founders of Fundación Histórica Neogranadina\, a Colombian non-profit foundation devoted to rescuing\, preserving\, and sharing Latin America’s historical manuscripts and early printed books through digitization\, and promoting the development of digital humanities projects in the region (https://neogranadina.org). \nAbout the guest discussant: \nJuan Carlos Estenssoro is an historian and professor of Iberian and Latin American Studies at l’Université Paris 3\, Sorbonne Nouvelle\, where he also directs the Center for Research on Colonial Spanish America (CRAEC) . He is one of the world leading specialists in colonial Andean society\, religion\, music\, and art\, and the author of serval award winning books and articles.

SUMMARY:Criminalizing Immigrant Families: Race\, Gender\, and Family Separations at the U.S.-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Race and gender have shaped the law\, public policy\, and the emotional and physical experiences of migration throughout history.  At the present moment\, however\, shifting patterns of migration and the current administration’s use of family separation as a deterrent has led to an intense struggle to define migration\, the migrant\, and the family. This conference explores these struggles on both sides of the border from historical and contemporary perspectives. \nThis event is free to the public and is Co-Sponsored by LAIS.

SUMMARY:"The House that Binds: Slavery and Freedom in Colonial Peru" Rachel Sarah O'Toole\, UC Irvine
DESCRIPTION:The Household that Binds: Slavery and Freedom in Colonial Peru Talk by Rachel Sarah O’Toole (UC Irvine) \nTo demonstrate how enslaved and freed people in Colonial Peru contracted their freedom\, O’Toole reconstructs three women’s family histories from pieces of notarial records\, parish entries\, and judicial cases. She agrees that archival practices silence black subjects (Trulliot 1997) and recreate violence on black subjectivities (Fuentes 2016)\, But also wonders if historians can do more to counteract colonial logics of criminal and civil archives. In her presentation\, Rachel Sarah O’Toole demonstrates how manumitting and freed women countered affective labor demands of seventeenth century slaveholders. This study focuses on the Colonial city of Trujillo\, on the Northern Peruvian coast. \n*Light refreshments served* \nEvent Co-Sponsored by LAIS
