SUMMARY:Works-in-Progress
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Jiakai Zhang \nThe presentation will focus on the Xiqin Quyi 西琴曲意(Eight Songs for Western Keyboard) composed by Matteo Ricci 利瑪竇 (1552-1610) in classical Chinese. Ricci was a Jesuit missionary who came to the Ming court and dedicated this collection of songs to the Wanli Emperor (萬曆皇帝) to be sung along with a keyboard instrument. I will focus on the allusions and translations of lines of Horace’s poems in this work and examine how they are loaded with the teachings of “spiritual exercises” from the Jesuit order\, and at the same time\, invoke passages and doctrines in classical Chinese literature. I will argue that the Horatian allusions create a unique space to manifest the debates over what one should practice and cultivate in oneself for a good life between Christianity and the schools of Chinese thought. \nRegister to attend via Zoom \nJiakai Zhang is a third-year PhD student at the Department of Classics. He works on ancient Greek literature and philosophy (especially Plato) and the reception of Greco-Roman literature in early modern China in debates and conversations with Neo-Confucianism and Christianity.

SUMMARY:"Translations: People\, Texts & Objects in Motion Across the Early Global World"– MEMSA Graduate Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:In his landmark 1611 dictionary\, the Tesoro de la le lengua castellana\, the Castilian linguist Sebastián de Covarrubias noted that the verbs “to translate” in Spanish\, traducir and trasladar\, possessed both the meaning of words moving between languages and of movement of objects across space. Translation involved people\, words\, objects\, images\, and ideas in motion across spaces\, boundaries\, languages\, and cultures in the medieval & early modern world. How do you understand translation? What was lost\, gained\, or hidden in translation? How did translation involve active processes of making and unmaking\, (re)interpretation\, and (mis)understandings? How did institutions\, states\, and empires attempt to control\, limit\, or censor translation? Who were the intermediary agents involved in rendering translations? How did translation function across material forms and the visual world\, beyond solely the textual? How did movement itself transform the ideas\, objects\, words\, or images that travelled? \nKeynote Speaker: Antonio M. Zaldívar (CSU San Marcos) \nRegister to attend in Royce 306 \nEvent Program \nOrganized by the Officers of MEMSA: Sofía Yazpik\, Miranda Heaner\, Hugo Peralta-Ramírez\, and Chase Smith. \nSponsored by the UCLA CMRS Center for Early Global Studies

SUMMARY:Works in Progress with Rebeca Martínez-Tibbles
DESCRIPTION:“Ilícita Amistad: Women’s Plural Relationships in Bigamy Cases of Colonial Mexico” \nGuest Speaker: Rebeca Martínez-Tibbles (History) \nThis paper examines ilícita amistad—illicit or informal romantic relationships—as a central feature of women’s lives in colonial Mexico\, particularly as revealed through bigamy cases prosecuted by the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico City and regional tribunals\, the paper argues that women were not passive actors who moved neatly from one marriage to another. Instead\, many engaged in plural romantic and sexual relationships during periods of abandonment\, coercion\, or marital breakdown\, using ilícita amistad as a strategy of survival\, resistance\, and autonomy. \nThrough close readings of Inquisition trials involving women of Spanish\, mestiza\, Indigenous\, and African descent\, this study demonstrates that ilícita amistad functioned differently across racial and social hierarchies. While Spanish women were often afforded discretion or leniency despite engaging in multiple relationships\, women of African descent faced disproportionately harsh punishments\, revealing the racialized logic underpinning colonial sexual regulation. These cases complicate existing historiography on female honor by showing that inquisitors frequently prioritized violations of the sacrament of marriage over women’s prior sexual conduct\, allowing evidence of plural relationships to surface without formal prosecution. \n\nRebeca Martínez-Tibbles is a Ph.D. candidate in History at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, specializing in colonial Mexico\, gender and sexuality\, race\, religion\, and legal culture. Her dissertation\, Women and Bigamy in Colonial Mexico\, examines female marital transgression through cases prosecuted by the Inquisition from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. She has conducted extensive archival research in Mexico City\, Seville\, and U.S. repositories with support from fellowships including the Fulbright-Hays DDRA and the CCWH/Berks Graduate Student Fellowship. Her work has been presented at national and international conferences\, including the American Historical Association and the Western Association of Women Historians\, and has appeared in public-facing and scholarly venues. At UCLA\, she teaches courses on women and gender in the Americas and has served as an editorial assistant for the Hispanic American Historical Review. \nThis event is organized by the UCLA Medieval & Early Modern Student Association and sponsored by the CMRS Center for Early Global Studies.

SUMMARY:“Hybridity”: In-Between People\, Texts & Objects Across the Early Global World - MEMSA Graduate Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 5th Annual Conference of the UCLA Medieval and Early Modern Student Association seeks to highlight the innovative work of graduate students on the manifold ways people\, texts\, and objects “in-between” shaped the early global world\, from the early medieval to the late early modern periods. Presentations will engage with the concept of the so-called “hybrid\,” asking: what does it mean to label something as in-between\, mixed\, syncretic\, blended\, amalgamated\, or composite? To what end might something be constituted as “hybrid”? Does “hybridity” as a term still carry meaning when encompassing so much? Does the contact and exchange of people\, things\, and ideas inevitably result in “hybridity”? The event seeks to problematize the term and its synonyms\, thinking about “hybridity” as a threshold of negotiation\, contestation\, in(ter)vention\, interpretation\, translation\, and debate. \nEvent Schedule \nRegister to attend in Royce 306 \nOrganized by the Officers of MEMSA: Chase Caldwell Smith\, Sofía Yazpik\, Miranda Heaner\, and Stanley Wu \nSponsored by the UCLA CMRS Center for Early Global Studies

Jones (UC Davis) \nResearch on the premodern intersection of race\, gender\, and sexuality has steadily increased as a result of the efforts of a diverse group of scholars working across traditional periodization and geographic limits. Nevertheless\, a great deal of work remains to be done to understand the many varieties of ways such aspects of identities intersected and were mobilized or challenged in the marking of difference.
