SUMMARY:Edgardo Pérez Morales at the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History. "Slavery\, irreverence\, and sovereignty in the revolutionary Caribbean".
DESCRIPTION:Edgardo Pérez Morales (Assistant Professor\, History Department\, USC)\, presents “Slavery\, Irreverence\, and Sovereignty in the Revolutionary Caribbean” as part of the History Department’s Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History. \nCartagena de Indias\, on the north coast of today’s Colombia\, declared independence from Spain and extended citizenship to free men of color between 1812 and 1815. Hundreds of Afro-Caribbean sailors flocked to this port town\, where they obtained nominal citizenship and jobs as privateers—pirates with a license to attack Spanish shipping out at sea. Because Cartagena leaders saw their privateering policy as an “act of sovereignty\,” this talk asks how exactly common sailors—the main protagonists of this story—embodied political sovereignty at sea and on land. Cartagena’s privateers throw into relief the history of sovereignty as practice; these maritime workers used irreverent talk\, ambivalent political belonging\, and dynamic connections with the Republic of Haiti to build the first Spanish American experiment in maritime republicanism. This untold story may thus reveal the origins of multi-ethnic\, plurilingual and border-crossing citizenship.

SUMMARY:SGS Transgressing Fortified Global Borders Conference
DESCRIPTION:While the dominant discourse of globalization emphasizes a borderless and more integrated world\, communities and collectivities on the ground continue to organize against a different lived reality. Historically\, scholars and activists alike\, through various collectivites\, spaces\, and ideologies\, have transgressed and disrupted mainstream globalizing networks and narratives that reinforce borders in the service of capitalism\, heteronormativity\, patriarchy\, and the state.  Global transgressions\, which we define as disobedience to the foundations of globalization thinking that rely on borders and institutions\, manifest in both theory and praxis. Through this\, these transgressive actors and forces explore and challenge spatial colonialities that raise and/or uphold such borders. \nThis conference allows for the imagining of freedoms as a place\, not confined or restricted by borders\, but instead shaped by all the people\, philosophies\, and movements that defy them. \nThus\, the 2019 Society for Global Scholars conference is a call for scholars\, activists\, social movements\, and students to regroup\, rethink\, and respond to the current discourse surrounding borders and explore spatial colonialities\, while highlighting and discovering Global South voices and subjectivities. \nThe conference will feature keynote presentations by renowned activist-scholars Dr. Stephen Dillon and Dr. Vilna Bashi-Treitler\, as well as opening remarks by Dr. Bishnupriya Ghosh and closing remarks by Dean Charles Hale. There will also be a book sale by PM Press\, Verso Books\, and Haymarket Books along with a workshop on scholar-activistism by Dr. Emiko Saldivar\, an art exhibit and conversation regarding art-ivism.

SUMMARY:LAIS Tertulia: Understanding Venezuela’s Crisis
DESCRIPTION:A Roundtable with the Participation of \nKathleen Bruhn (Political Science\, UCSB) • Evelyne Laurent-Perrault (History\, UCSB) • \n Juan Pablo Lupi (Spanish and Portuguese\, UCSB) • Andreína Soto Segura (History\, UCSB) \nTUESDAY FEBRUARY 26 – 12:00PM -1:30PM –  HSSB 3041 \nVenezuela is in the news again. This time for two reasons: First\, a humanitarian crisis of hemispheric proportions\, in which hyperinflation and a widespread scarcity of food and medicines has caused the displacement of over 3 million people from Venezuela to Colombia\, Ecuador\, Perú\, Chile and Brazil. Second\, a political crisis in which—at the time these lines are being written—there are two parallel governments in conflict. The possible outcomes of this confrontation are impossible to predict\, and they range from a transition to democracy to the outbreak of a civil war. The goal of this roundtable is to explain the reasons behind these events and help us understand them. Invoking traditional paradigms like “left” vs. “right” or “US interventionism” will not get us very far. Both crises should be understood both in the context of 21st century geopolitics (the South American region\, Cuba\, Russia\, China\, the US\, Europe and even organized crime have major stakes here)\, and in a historical context that is attentive to how the modern Venezuelan state was built since the beginning of the 20th century. \n** Light refreshments will be served. Please feel free to bring your lunch.
