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
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:Medieval Texts Reading Group (Spring 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Medieval Texts Reading Group welcomes undergraduate students\, graduate students\, staff\, and faculty interested in medieval literature. Once each term\, we get together to discuss a text in English translation from across the Global Middle Ages\, to think about what it tells us about its cultural and literary context. \nEach discussion will be led by an expert on the chosen text and its place in the wider medieval world. No expertise or preparation beyond a brief skim of the text is required – only enthusiasm! \nFor our Spring meeting this year\, we will read Cædmon’s Hymn and some related texts. Discussion will be led by Professor Erica Weaver (English) \nView the readings \nSponsored by the CMRS Center for Early Global Studies
