SUMMARY:Religious Dissent and Violence in Late Antiquity - Research Seminar Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This lecture\, “Religious dissent and violence in Late Antiquity\,” is by Professor Maijastina Kahlos (Helsinki/Lisbon)\, part of the CMRS-CEGS Research Seminar graduate course for Spring 2023\, Persecution and Defiance: Religious Minorities in the Roman World 200-700 CE (History201B). \nViolence was part of the late antique life. How considerable role did violent conflicts play in Late Antiquity? At least on the level of imagery\, religious violence had a considerable role. Violence occupies a great deal of space in the Christian narratives on the demise of “paganism” and in the polemics against Jews and “heretics”. I will discuss violence in words and in deeds against religious dissenters in the fourth and fifth centuries. By religious dissenters\, I mean “pagans”\, “heretics”\, Jews\, and some other groups that were more or less marginalized by mainstream Christians in late antique society. The term “pagans” is only shorthand for non-Christians or polytheists\, and the term “heretics” likewise for Christians branded as deviants. I will offer some examples of 1) extreme violence; 2) peaceful living and readiness to compromises; 3) “everyday nuisances”\, that is\, everyday life pressures and coercion. \n“Persecution and Defiance: Religious Minorities in the Roman World 200-700 CE” is a Spring 2023 graduate course designated as a CMRS Center for Early Global Studies Research Seminar which provides funding for guest scholars to lecture and work closely with students. Taught by Professor Greg Woolf (History)\, this Research Seminar looks at the treatment of Christians\, Jews\, Manichaeans\, heretic and pagan minorities in the later Roman empire\, roughly from the second century to the seventh CE\, the age when empires stretched across much of Eurasia. Most contained minority populations identifying themselves in religious terms\, subject alternately to episodes of persecution and periods of fruitful cohabitation.

SUMMARY:Michael J. B. Allen Memorial
DESCRIPTION:Michael J.B. Allen passed away on Saturday\, February 25\, 2023. Professor Allen was Director of the UCLA Center for Medieval & Renaissance Studies from 1988-1993. Prior to that\, he had served as Assistant Director\, then Associate Director of CMRS for many years. Indeed\, he was actively involved in the Center and its activities since he joined the UCLA English Department’s faculty in 1970. He organized conferences\, served on committees\, mentored students\, and inspired the Center’s publications both as an author and editor. The Center’s faculty\, students\, associates\, staff and friends have greatly benefited from the wisdom and expertise that Professor Allen so generously shared with all. His love of knowledge\, enthusiasm\, and joie de vivre were inspiring and contagious. \nMore information about Professor Allen’s life and career can be found at michaeljballen.com. \nRSVP to attend in person. \nRegister to attend online by Zoom.

SUMMARY:Reinventing Woman's Nature: Early Modern Feminism and Its Roots - Day 3
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend in person in Royce 306.\nRegister to attend online with Zoom. \nChallenges to inferiorizing conceptions of women’s nature that grew in prominence in the 16th and 17th centuries should be seen not just as applications of changing philosophical conceptions of nature under the rise of mechanical philosophy\, but as helping to shape those reconceptualizations. Through their polemical writings in defence of women\, their rejection of histories written by men that excluded or skewed the contributions of women\, in their own philosophical treatises and correspondence with male philosophers\, feminists\, including some feminist men\, helped to shape a conception of human nature and virtue that exalted both women and men equally. These texts contain not just critiques of misogynistic theorising about the natures and vices of women aimed at raising the consciousness of women and challenging the authority of men\, but deliberate proposals for rethinking social structures—the structure of communities\, the family\, and women’s political status and role in the State. Of note is the way in which feminists of the period recognised\, therefore\, that theorising about human nature could not succeed in isolation from a reimagining of the kind of social structures in which it was possible for all humans\, men and women included\, to flourish. An examination of what makes a thing human could not\, in other words\, be separated from the question of what it would take to make men and women equal. \nThis conference is interested in exploring these connections between theorising about women’s nature and theorising about the kind of society that promotes sexual equality. It covers the contributions of feminists from English\, French\, and Italian traditions\, as well as the philosophical transitions that inspired them—Humanism\, Cartesianism\, and shifts in virtue theory\, including challenges to masculinist assumptions about heroic virtues and dignity. The conference will in this way shed light on the extent to which feminist theorising in the period contained an agenda for social change\, and thus to its place in the history of feminism as a social movement. \nOrganized by Professors Calvin Normore (UCLA)\, Deborah Brown (Univ. Queensland)\, Jacqueline Broad (Monash University)\, and Marguerite Deslauriers (McGill University). \n\n\n\nThursday\, March 30\, 2023 – DAY 1\n\n\n3:30 PM – 5:00 PM\nMartina Reuter (University of Jyväskylä)\n“Complex Relations: Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Olympe de Gouges on the Sexes” (Keynote)\n\n\n5:00 PM – 6:30 PM\nReception\n\n\nFriday\, March 31\, 2023 – DAY 2\n\n\n9:00 AM – 10:15 AM\nAllauren Forbes (McMaster University)\n“Speech\, Silence\, and Gendered Space: Women’s Epistemic Nature in Cavendish’s Plays”\n\n\n10:15 AM – 10:45 AM\nBreak\n\n\n10:45 AM – 12:00 PM\nMarcy Lascano (University of Kansas)\n“The Feminist Ontologies of Cavendish and Conway”\n\n\n12:00 PM – 1:15 PM\nEmanuele Costa (Vanderbilt University)\n“Anne Conway and the Feminine: Between Receptacle and Embodied Thought”\n\n\n1:15 PM – 2:00 PM\nLunch Break\n\n\n2:00 PM – 3:15 PM\nJacqueline Broad (Monash University)\n“A Weapon in their Hands: Bathsua Makin’s Arguments for Women’s Education”\n\n\n3:15 PM – 3:45 PM\nBreak\n\n\n3:45 PM – 5:00 PM\nMarguerite Deslauriers (McGill University)\n“Whose Worth?

SUMMARY:Use of Birth: Biopolitics\, Biotechnics\, and Natal Alienation
DESCRIPTION:Professor Sara Brill (Philosophy\, Fairfield University) gives a public lecture\, part of the CMRS-CEGS Research Seminar for Winter 2023\, “Historicity. Re-reading Michel Foucault\,” taught by UCLA Professor Giulia Sissa. \nIn Foucault’s later engagement with Greek antiquity\, the concept of bios finds revolutionary force less in its usefulness to a notion of biopolitics (in bio-) than in an art of living (tekhnē tou biou)\, i.e. in its value for an ethical/political project of living otherwise\, and thus in an alignment with alterity\, novelty\, and the new. In the political theories of Plato and Aristotle\, bios finds its practical force as an adherence to type\, and serves as a regulative ideal\, marking out an ethical-political project that involves formal legislation\, conventional codes of behavior\, bodily regulation\, spiritual supervision\, surveillance\, and tropes of naturalization and denaturalization\, all for the sake of realizing a cosmological ideal. To follow this understanding of bios is to observe a whole host of forms of training in thought\, action\, and desire\, not only in how to live a life of a certain kind\, but in how to think of oneself as alive\, as born. \nAs circumscribing a form of natality\, bios opens to scrutiny the processes by which one’s approach to one’s status as born may take more or less alienated form\, deepening our ability to assess the political valence of life. The need for such insight has been starkly demonstrated in the dramatic erosion of protection for the exercise of reproductive autonomy in the US and the punitive theology that resides at its heart\, of which the Dobbs decision is the most extreme expression thus far. The ground had been laid for these moves in a sustained effort to cultivate ignorance about the material conditions of human coming-to-be\, from the performed falsehoods about women’s reproductive capacities from the mouths of elected officials; to the particular cruelty of laws that underwrite punitive impulses by deputizing them\, feeding a fantasy of the vigilante for the ‘unborn;’ to the indoctrination in debasing imagery that forms abstinence curriculum in what passes for sex education in many American schools. Exacerbated by the paucity of ethical frameworks to navigate the capacities and possibilities opened by reproductive technology\, which vastly outstrip any developed protocols and habits\, these cultivated forms of unknowing lay the ideological groundwork for the forced birth movement; for the criminalization of miscarriage\, abortion\, and\, increasingly\, birth control; and for the push toward fetal personhood. Indeed\, at the heart of these efforts\, we find fetishized representations of fetal ‘life’ and the destructive power of the fiction of the ‘unborn.’ Taken together\, these forces confront the exercise of reproductive agency with a crisis long in the making. There is continued and pressing need for conceptual frameworks that describe the forms of oppression at work here\, track their sources\, and imagine liberatory practices\, concepts\, and policies that would bring about their abolition. \nThe analytic tools provided by bios offer rich conceptual ground for better understanding the processes and effects of natal alienation and the fantasies that support it. As part of a larger project to track the use of birth as an oppressive force\, I am interested in the relationship between the bios of Plato and Aristotle and Foucault’s understanding of way of life. More specifically\, Foucault’s alignment of tekhnē tou biou with new modes of living draws him into the sphere of another thinker of the political valence of novelty\, Hannah Arendt\, whose alignment of natality with action hinges on an explicit turn away from ancient Greek thinking in order to focus on ‘second’ birth\, on the association of birth with beginning anew marked in Augustin’s formulation initium ut esset homo creates est. Recent anticolonial and feminist thought suggest that neither Foucauldian bios nor Arendtian natality are able to adequately assess the forms of oppression that emerge from the spectre of the unborn; both appear to leave untouched the fantasies of birth that prove decisive in shaping how one takes up one’s status as born. Must we say of Foucault’s bios what has also been said of Arendt’s natality\, namely\, that it is undertheorized? Professor Brill will explore this and related questions in an effort to track the role of bios in Foucault’s later work\, and its relevance for tracing the forms of natal alienation that make the oppressive use of birth possible. \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Department of Political Science. \nJoin on Zoom at https://ucla.zoom.us/j/95860364810?pwd=VTJJY2oyS1YyLy9KNTB5TFZXRWhKQT09\nPassword: Plato

SUMMARY:Simulating Korea in Early Modern Diplomacy: On Eurocentrism\, Agency\, and Early Modern World History in Europa Universalis IV
DESCRIPTION:This is the first of the Games and Korean History webinar series in Winter 2023\, presented by Chosŏn History Society and hosted by the UCLA Center for Korean Studies. This series brings together game creators\, history teachers and scholars\, and the gaming community through discussions over Korean history and its simulation. \nDr. Álvaro Sanz from Paradox Tinto Studios\, joined by Professor Sixiang Wang (UCLA)\, will discuss how the award-winning computer game\, Europa Universalis IV (2013-present)\, has approached the simulation of Korean history and East Asian diplomatic institutions during the game’s development. They will discuss a range of topics including: how Paradox Studios conducts historical research\, how the game tries to model historical agency through player choices in the game\, how the game addresses the challenge of representing diplomatic institutions that fall outside of modern “nation-state” conventions. They will also address the ethics of simulation: what does it mean when a player can be a king\, colonizer\, or empire builder; the theoretical implication of “what if” histories; and how the game developers have managed the problem of Eurocentrism\, especially in its representation of Korea and East Asia. The discussion between the panelists will be followed by an open Q&A period. \nTo join the talk\, please click here. For details about this talk and the Chosŏn History Society and its webinar series\, please visit its website. \nDr. Álvaro Sanz has been Content Design Coordinator at Paradox Tinto since 2022\, a video game studio that he joined as Content Designer in 2021. Since then he has been part of the team that manages the historical grand strategy game Europa Universalis IV\, having been part of the development the content packs Origins (focussed on Sub-Saharan Africa\, as Content Designer)\, and Lions of the North (focussed on Scandinavia and the Baltic region\, as Content Design Coordinator). Previously\, he had developed an academic career as a scholar specializing in the Iberian Middle Ages. He completed a Ph.D. at the University of Valladolid\, Spain\, in 2020\, his research topic being ‘The royal towns and the territorial administration in Castile and Leon. Power and society in the reign of Alfonso X (1252-1284)’. During his Ph.D. he published 8 papers\, read more than 20 presentations at different conferences in Spain\, Portugal\, and the United Kingdom\, visited the University of Cambridge\, UK\, as a doctoral student\, and taught different courses and seminars at the University of Valladolid. \nDr. Sixiang Wang is an Assistant Professor  of Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA. He is a historian of Chosŏn Korea and early modern East Asia. His research interests also include comparative perspectives on early modern empires\, the history of science and knowledge\, and issues of language and writing in Korea’s cultural and political history. He teaches courses in Korea’s pre-nineteenth-century history as well as the history of cultural and intellectual interactions in early modern East Asia. His book\, Boundless Winds of Empire: Rhetoric and Ritual in Early Chosŏn Diplomacy with Ming China reconstructs the cultural strategies of Korean diplomacy with Ming empire in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It underscores how Korean ritual and literary practices inserted Chos n into the Mong empires legitimating strategies and established Korea as a stakeholder in a shared imperial tradition. He is also helping curate the UCLA Korean History and Cultural Digital Museum with his students.

SUMMARY:The Future of Medieval France - Concert
DESCRIPTION:The sounds of the medieval past are conjured in Paris-based Ensemble Dialogos’s presentation of the legend of Barlaam and Josaphat\, a concert to be held in conjunction with the conference on Saturday\, February 25\, from 3-4:15 pm at the Getty Center. Wildly popular in medieval Europe\, the tale of Prince Josaphat and his hermit-teacher Barlaam originated in 3rd-4th century India and tells a surreal\, Christianized version of the life of Buddha. In this concert\, Ensemble Dialogo explores the legend through several musical repertoires of the Middle Ages\, reflecting the beloved story’s translation into Greek\, Latin\, Old-Russian\, Old-Croatian\, Old-French\, medieval Occitan\, and Italian manuscripts. \nProgram includes supertitles. More information and reservations on the Getty Center’s website — concert seats must be reserved separately from conference registration — advance tickets required. \nEnsemble Dialogos\nFounded in 1997\, the ensemble brings together singers and instrumentalists from different backgrounds and countries to revive European oral and written traditions\, from the Middle Ages to the present day. \nConcert-related links:\nTrailer 1:  https://youtu.be/uH-QYO5Xskk (introduction)\nTrailer 2:  https://youtu.be/rRManNdwYCM (story)\nSong 1: https://youtu.be/uhGzxJaHxSc (Era in qual tempo)\nSong 2: https://youtu.be/zBffKHNM0IQ (Poyde Baarlam)

SUMMARY:The Future of Medieval France - Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Complete details including registration\, schedule\, speakers\, and abstracts are on the conference webpages.\nAn international conference on the past\, present\, and future of medieval studies in Europe organized by Professor Meredith Cohen (Art History\, UCLA) and Professor Zrinka Stahuljak (CMRS-CEGS Director). Bringing together scholars of medieval France from the Anglophone and Francophone worlds\, the conference will honor the legacy of John W. Baldwin who bridged the two and look into the future of medieval France in the global context. What does it mean to study medieval France today\, when academic research and funding trends increasingly seem to decenter France? While this conference focuses on France\, the reflection is relevant for all of Europe. Why and how\, then\, should we study medieval France and Europe? How can we reform or decolonize the medieval European fields from within while remaining true to the time period\, its geographies\, mentalities\, and connectivities? \nThe conference will be held on the UCLA Campus \, third floor Royce Hall Humanities conference rooms on February 23-24. \n“Barlaam and Josaphat\,” a concert in conjunction with the conference by the Dialogos Ensemble\, led by Katarina Livljanić\, will be held at the Getty Center on February 25 from 3-4:15 pm. \nSponsored by UCLA CMRS-CEGS\n\nCo-sponsored by UCLA ELTS\, UCLA Comparative Literature\, and the UCLA Wellman Chair in Medieval History. \n\n\n \n\nImage credit: The Royal Couple with Astrologists\, 1469\nFollower of Hans Schilling (German\, active 1459 – 1467)\, illuminator and from the Workshop of Diebold Lauber (German\, active 1427 – 1467)\, illuminator\nInk\, colored washes\, and tempera colors\, Leaf: 28.6 × 20.3 cm (11 1/4 × 8 in.)\nThe J.

SUMMARY:The Black Saints of the Carmelite Order: Ancient Ethiopia in the Early Modern European Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Erin Kathleen Rowe (Vice Dean for Undergraduate Education\, Professor of History\, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences\, Johns Hopkins University) will give a talk about African and Black saints in early modern Iberia. \nBeginning in the seventeenth-century\, members of the Carmelite order adopted two ancient Ethiopian saints\, Efigenia and Elesban. While their interest in ancient saints was tied to the order’s longstanding efforts to prove the antiquity of their order dating back to the Prophet Elijah\, the inclusion of Ancient Ethiopia in these efforts tell a more complex story about how early modern Spaniards thought with and about Ancient Ethiopia. The inclusion of Ethiopia in early modern ideas about the Biblical Near East clashed with the treatment of enslaved people from West and Central Africa being brought to the peninsula in vast numbers\, while devotion to Ethiopian saints by White and Black Spaniards transformed the spiritual and historical landscape. \nRegister to attend on Zoom at https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYqcOqrpjMpE9Q01fN6D0UQmwV1S7AmCC2a \nCo-sponsored by Department of History\, CMRS-CEGS\, The Atlantic History Colloquium\, Peter H.

SUMMARY:From Romance to Romance: Translating among Medieval and Early Modern Romance Vernacular Texts (13th-18th c.) - Day 2

SUMMARY:Physiognomy at the Crossroad of Magic\, Science and the Arts
DESCRIPTION:A symposium organized by Professor Massimo Ciavolella (ELTS and Comparative Literature\, UCLA)\, Professor Emerita Valeria Finucci (Romance Studies\, Duke University) and doctoral candidate Megan Tomlinson (ELTS\, UCLA). \nThe symposium will examine how the study of a person’s facial features or expressions as indicatives of character or ethnicity\, has evolved from the crossroad of magic\, religion\, and primitive medicine to present day cultural preoccupation with wellness and beauty. In this context\, the discoveries of regional (cranio-facial) neurophysiology and psychology and the practice of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery have a centuries old relationship with physiognomy. As the study of one’s outward appearance evolved from its classical roots and humanistic self-representations through 18th and 19th century adaptations in fiction and travelogues\, it gradually became a scientific discipline. Along the way\, however\, physiognomy came to be associated with the pseudo-sciences of phrenology and craniology and used to promote eugenic policies. Thus\, it became tainted with racial bigotry and biological determinism\, and trapped within questions of delinquency\, monstrosity and posthumanism. In short\, throughout its history\, physiognomy has played both positive and negative roles in the evolution of significant aspects of the socio-cultural order of the western world that merit contemporary update and in-depth study. \nThe presentations of the symposium will follow a chronological and intertwining sequence to encompass physiognomic expressions in art\, literature\, spirituality\, science\, philosophy\, and cultural studies. \nThis event is dedicated to the memory of Rinaldo Canalis\, Emeritus Professor of Otolaryngology in the UCLA Department of Head and Neck Surgery. \nCo-sponsored by CMRS-CEGS. \n9 am – 5 pm on January 20-21\, 2023 in Royce Hall 314. \nRegister to attend.

SUMMARY:CMRS-CEGS Research Seminar Public Lecture: Ingrid Rowland
DESCRIPTION:“Curzio Inghirami (1614-1655)\, Forger and Playwright of Volterra” by guest scholar Ingrid Rowland (Architecture\, University of Notre Dame). \nOnline with Zoom and in person in Royce 314. \nRegister to attend in person here.\nRegister to attend on Zoom here.\nThe Fall 2022 CMRS-CEGS Research Seminar is “Picturing Knowledge in Historical Perspective” (Philosophy 206) taught by Professors Calvin Normore (Philosophy) and Brian Copenhaver (Philosophy\, History). This interdisciplinary seminar traces some of the ways\, from late antiquity into the seventeenth century\, in which pictures were and are used as tools to create and express knowledge claims and some of the theoretical issues surrounding those uses. Topics include the structure and limits of pictorial representation\, the use of diagrams in late antiquity\, the role of icons in Byzantine thought\, picturing in Latin Medieval traditions\, changes in the nature and use of pictorial representation from the fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth centuries\, and a discussion of Descartes’ use of pictures and diagrams. The instructors of record will begin and end the series of classes but most instruction will be by experts in the particular topic under discussion.

Topics include the structure and limits of pictorial representation\, the use of diagrams in late antiquity\, the role of icons in Byzantine thought\, picturing in Latin Medieval traditions\, changes in the nature and use of pictorial representation from the fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth centuries\, and a discussion of Descartes’ use of pictures and diagrams.
