Have you done research or teaching that you consider to be irrelevant? This book project evaluates the influence of Reformation and Enlightenment ideas on Eastern Orthodox Church during the age of great reforms under the reigns of Peter I , Catherine II and Alexander I Reforms, inspired by the church, however, reached well beyond the boundaries of religion: Divine Touch and Relicization within Narrative, Hagiographical, and Visual Representations from the Twelfth through the Fifteenth Centuries is an interdisciplinary investigation of specific moments in various Old French, Middle English, hagiographical, and visual representations, in which individuals—humans, non-human animals, and objects—are divinely touched.
The individuals in question are miraculously bodily restored, transforming them into living relics; a process that I refer to as relicization. As relicized bodies are at once living and holy material, functioning in and among the secular and sacred realms, what can they tell us about the hierarchy between humans, non-human animals, and objects? How do they re consider the role s and limits of the body? What do they reveal about seemingly fixed systems of power—patriarchal, familial, feudal, ecclesiastical—in the Middle Ages?
Mapping Mediterranean Geographies is a study of the cultural encounter between Muslim and Christian inhabitants of the Mediterranean basin between the twelfth and sixteenth century. It approaches this subject from the vantage point of the circulation, transmission, and reception of geographical knowledge between Muslim and Christian geographical writers and cartographers who dwelled along the shores of the sea. The project begins with an acknowledgement of difference across the Mediterranean: Through the lens of geography and cartography, this project assesses the different ways in which Muslim and Christian inhabitants of the Mediterranean understood their world and how cross-cultural exchange and reception of new knowledge altered those conceptions.
Jeremy Ledger received his Ph. His research and writing center on the social, cultural, and intellectual history of interfaith relations in the medieval and early modern Mediterranean. He is currently working on a book project entitled Mapping Mediterranean Geographies that explores how Muslim and Christian inhabitants of the western and central Mediterranean constructed the cosmos, globe, space, self, and others in geographical writing, cartography, and travelogues.
The concept of diaspora has become increasingly prominent in scholarly discussions of race, ethnicity, and migration. Yet such deconstructions of Asian American identity have often struggled to maintain the political commitments that have historically been central to ethnic studies. The work of poet and activist Janice Mirikitani, a prominent writer of the s whose poems give aesthetic form to cross-racial and transnational coalitions against racism and colonialism, provides a powerful model for contemporary Asian American authors and critics.
He is the author of Race and the Avant-Garde: But what does its appearance signify? As I show in this talk, we get different answers to this question if we start from different time-points: Through such examples, the talk raises broader methodological questions about narrative structure and teleological reasoning in history that arise as I embark on a new book-length history of biology. She is currently working on a book on life science, politics and religion in mid-nineteenth-century Germany, and beginning a general history of modern biology to be co-authored with Angela Creager.
What can words do? Or for the historian, what could words do in cultures past? This talk focuses on the northern cities of medieval Italy, the nascent self-governing republics that arose in the midst of encroaching monarchic and seigniorial rule. The cities branded themselves as beacons of libertas , but dissimilar to the ideals of many modern republics, speech was far from free there. In order to understand that world, I construct a cultural history of speech and its regulation by drawing together medical tracts, pastoral treatises, rhetorical manuals, contemporary literature, statute law, and civic, episcopal, and inquisition trial processes.

To view the FLWG's statement and petition, see here. In , Charles, Prince of Wales, made an unprecedented visit to Spain.
He traveled there under a false name and in disguise with the company of only the Duke of Buckingham and two servants. It was depicted in news pamphlets, popular ballads, court poetry, and plays. This presentation explores textual portrayals of the unanticipated visit, examining the way they prodded the boundaries of the historical genre. Her research focuses on the representation of England in early modern Spanish texts and the interplay between history and fiction in various literary genres.
Remembering Anglo-Spanish Encounters Translation is understood here not only as a practice that transfers meaning in the narrow linguistic sense of the word, but also as the process by which broader social and political formations are carried over from one culture to another. The untranslatable notions tied to particular civilizational heritage are especially challenging in this process, since issues of mutual comprehension become charged with perceptions of unequal power in the ongoing global crises and the resulting violence.
The seminar will use the innovative methodology of cultural translation to analyze this phenomenon by calling for a new conceptualization of trauma, space and identity, especially during the ongoing migrant crisis affecting the Europe in general and the Balkan peninsula in particular. Serbian Women Songs , and an edited volume with David Albahari: Words are Something Else He was a Visiting Professor at Harvard University in and This symposium proposes to bring together artists, scientists and scholars across several disciplines for whom color matters in quite different registers, across the globe and across modernity.
From the Early Modern era to the present, color theory and practice cross disciplines and sponsor debates about what color is. The symposium invites scholars, artists and participants to think about how their research addresses two questions: For more information on the symposium and the schedule of speakers, see event website. Pantomime, first attested under Augustus, transformed the traditionally staged and acted drama that audiences were familiar with into an exciting new form, a solo, masked, mimetic dance.
My project considers the cultural and intellectual impact of this controversial art form, from its origins in Rome in the 1st century BC to its afterlife in 18th century Europe. Pantomime affected not just how people conceived of dance, but the potential for non-verbal communication of narrative and emotion. Pantomime also outlasted spoken drama by several hundred years, forming a bridge between ancient performance traditions and Late Antiquity.
In the Enlightenment, ballet choreographers re-discovered ancient pantomime through the text of Lucian's On the Dance , and formed a new connection between ballet and pantomime as a way of elevating the status of the dance by linking it to an ancient antecedent. Throughout these debates about pantomime, in ancient and modern contexts, run questions about the relationship between tradition and innovation, gesture and narrative, silence and memory, and performance and emotion. In the German-speaking states of the s and 50s, revolution was in the air. While the political revolutions of are best known, the life sciences were undergoing their own revolutions, marked by radical new ideas about the organization and transformations of living beings.
This talk focuses on a cluster of leading life scientists of the period to examine their participation in the events of this era, both political and intellectual.
The Abode of Snow
Through these disruptions, Nyhart argues, scientists came to articulate and enact new models for the relationship of the scientist to political action—models that continue to have force today. Nyhart studies the history of biology in the modern post era, as well as the relations between popular and professional science, and the politics of science, especially in nineteenth-century Germany.
Integrating Scientific, Philosophical, and Historical Perspectives They are currently working on a history of concepts of biological part-whole relations in the nineteenth century. What gives norms—moral norms, political norms, norms of reasoning—their peculiar authority? After considering alternative answers to this question, I will focus on constructivist theories of normativity inspired by Kant. On this approach, some norms are constitutive of the very nature of activities humans undertake.

The article can be obtained here. She has written a number of book chapters and articles on queer theory, crip theory, modernist studies especially Virginia Woolf and H.
Perhaps because of her exhaustive critique of Nazi totalitarianism, fascism is often associated in the public imaginary with totalitarianism and dictatorships. How was Woolf herself treated by medical practitioners who upheld norms of mental and physical health to which Woolf did not conform? The answers to these questions are not simple and not always flattering to Woolf. This understanding of biopower provides impetus for speculation on the persistence of fascism into the 21st century under political guises that look more like neoliberalism than totalitarianism, yet still rely on the populist and eugenicist underpinnings of fascist ideology.
She is the author of The Persistence of Modernism: Scientists originally ascribed the extinction of species like the giant beaver, mastodon, and mammoth to changes in the climate, claiming that these and other species had not been able to survive the last glacial period. By the middle of the twentieth century, paleoecologists argued that climatic explanations were unsatisfactory.
Instead, human hunting had wiped out these species. Instead, Native American thinkers pointed back to climatic explanations, which closely matched Native American oral traditions. In this talk, I will examine the various explanations for the Pleistocene extinctions, exploring the different methods used to study ecological and human history.
Doing so will reveal the interplay between different systems of knowledge and the contested nature of scientific and mythological evidence, as well as their implications for social and cultural understandings of what it means to be human. Her research explores the development of ecological ideas and techniques used to understand the changing dynamics of human-environment interactions over the last 12, years.
Yet for their Ecuadorian contemporaries, the islands were not an escape, but a prison: This talk examines the collision of these different geographical imaginations and how they both spurred conservationist concern and continue to disrupt ideals of preserving the islands as a timeless natural laboratory. Trained as a geographer, she works at the intersection of political ecology, science and technologies studies, animal studies, and environmental history. Her first book will be published with Yale University Press in For nearly two centuries, millions of Americans have been celebrating Christmas with a tree and Thanksgiving with a turkey, yet despite that depth of experience, an enduring ambivalence remains: Which type of tree and which type of turkey should enter the home?
Heritage breed or factory farmed? In , he was awarded the University Award for Teaching Excellence. While walking through a cemetery in Copenhagen in , I noticed a name that seemed out of place. Hear about my discovery and the basis for my new book project about the transnational experiences of African Americans in Denmark. University of Illinois Press, My dissertation research connects two genres of global writing that emerged in the immediate postwar period: His research focuses on the twentieth- and twenty-first-century global Anglophone novel, literature and the social sciences, postcolonial theory, and world literature studies.
Ribic has taught courses in modern literature and composition at Stockholm University and UW-Madison. World Literature and the Political Economy of Growth. Providing a distinct window into the social and political developments of the early Roman Empire, my research focuses on Roman attitudes towards the digesting body and the domestic practices associated with its needs in order to probe Roman notions of embodiment. While recent work in Roman social and cultural history has enhanced our knowledge about Roman attitudes toward sexuality, far less attention has been given to the role of the digesting body for the articulation of Roman social hierarchies.

Next, I turn to the world of practice and consider the daily and repetitive exchanges between body and objects designed to assist in the preparation and consumption of food, focusing specifically on cooking benches and dining couches. She has published articles in the Journal of Roman Archaeology and Helios. He is the author of The New Mutants: Extending from my dissertation research this talk attends to works of art that ask us to listen just as much as they ask us to look.
This call to listen is crucial to the ethical and political aims of art of women and artists of color beginning with the pivotal work of Adrian Piper, Ana Mendieta, and Pauline Oliveros in the s who take advantage of the space of the gallery and museum to alter sensory dynamics as a way of changing social power relations. Rather than recovering vocality as an object, this study offers a reading of voice and vocality as practice and verb that is materially vibrational and positions the spectator-as-listener. How did people form their attitudes towards law in early modern and Republican period China?
How did mass legal education affect the uses of law in daily life? Early modern European long-distance voyages had their impetus in the search for the source of spices, the Spice Islands of the Moluccas, or Maluku. When Europeans sailed to the East Indies, how did they communicate with locals?
In archipelagic Southeast Asia where the lingua franca was Malay how did they navigate the new linguistic environment? Who were the interpreters who mediated such transactions? What was the nature of the relationship between interpreters and those for whom they translated? How did experiences of encounter inflect literary representation? Su Fang Ng is Clifford A. She has published Literature and the Politics of Family in Seventeenth-Century England Cambridge University Press, and essays on medieval, early modern, and postcolonial topics.
In , the United States issued a Neutrality Proclamation to avoid involvement in a war between Britain and France, its principal allies. Neutrality confronted numerous challenges, particularly from American citizens eager to profit from European warfare as privateers. To remain neutral, the U. This seminar will address a book-length project examining the unexplored relationship between neutrality and the establishment of the American government.
Sandra Moats is an associate professor of history at UW-Parkside. Her research focuses on the governing challenges and political choices that confronted the American republic in its founding decades. Her first book, Celebrating the Republic , addressed the role of presidential ceremony in launching the American government.
In the weather, Sharpe situates anti-Blackness and white supremacy as the total climate that produces premature Black death as normative. On Blackness and Being. Her research interests are in black visual culture, black diaspora studies, and feminist epistemologies, with a particular emphasis on black female subjectivity and black women artists. In our changing climate, severe storms have become both aberrant and quotidian. Light refreshments will be served, but feel free to bring along a bag lunch.
RSVP to receive a copy of the relevant reading. On Blackness and Being and Monstrous Intimacies: Is caring for children a private or public responsibility? What or whom should be cared for collectively? Which activities count as care? How much is care worth and who decides? Why, in this political and environmental moment, is a new economy of care necessary and how can it be achieved? This talk addresses these questions by bringing the voices of frontline cafeteria workers, past and present, into an academic literature saturated with nutritionists, policymakers, and managers who rarely if ever come face-to-face with the children whose dietary fates they decide.
As a transdisciplinary scholar, her research lies at the intersection of critical food studies, feminist economics, US political and social history, and environmental sociology. She has received fellowships and grants from the National Science Foundation, the US Department of Agriculture, and multiple private foundations to support this work. Currently she is finishing her book manuscript The Labor of Lunch: Since the s, American evangelical Christians have flocked to Holy Land sites in Israel and Palestine in ever-increasing numbers. In , more than , American evangelicals visited Israel.
The rise of Holy Land tourism is a window into how evangelical Christians and Israelis have redefined Jewish-Christian relations after to serve state interests. I will contextualize Holy Land tourism within my forthcoming book studying the transnational history of Christian Zionism after , A Covenant of the Mind: Evangelicals, Israel, and the Construction of a Special Relationship.
This talk looks at how U. Cold War immigration policies structured the marginalization of Central Americans. Unlike Southeast Asians, Central Americans did not flee communist countries but countries where the U. They were thus denied the legal designation of refugees, leading to their mass arrival as undocumented immigrants. This contrast underscores the imprint of U. Cold War policies on lives of the displaced and how it intersected with the history of homelessness in the U. She is the award-winning author of Citizens of Asian America: Her articles have appeared in the American Quarterly, Journal of Asian American Studies , and other academic journals and anthologies.
In spring , she will be the next Director of Asian American Studies. What did lay Buddhist women actually do in order to forge a connection with the bodhisattva Guanyin after he underwent a sex-change and became a female deity during late imperial China? How did a shared gender identity between the worshipper and worshipped enable practitioners to establish a new type relationship through material practice?
How are gendered skills connected to religious transformation? Why did laywomen use brush, human hair, jewelry and dance to reproduce the image of Guanyin and to embody of Guanyin in late imperial China? In my presentation, I will ask these questions to shed light on the intersections of gender, material practice and religion in late imperial China.
She received her Ph. Her primary research interests cover a wide range subjects and mediums, including gender, material and visual practice in late imperial China. Her articles on hair embroidery Guanyin, Empress Dowager Cixi dressing up as Guanyin in paintings and photographs and other essays have been published recently.
She is the co-editor of the exhibition catalog Performing Images: Opera in Chinese Visual Culture. Currently she is finishing her book manuscript entitled Reproducing a Bodhisattva: In my talk I will sketch a phenomenology of failure, with a focus on a few prominent moments in the history of thinking about failure such as Gnosticism and Existentialism especially E. Must the humanities be "relevant"? To what, or to whom?
How have perspectives on these questions evolved since the heated debates of the s and s? Can research be "irrelevant," and if so, can it still be worth pursuing? Or, on the other hand, is all research in the humanities in some way relevant? Our six panelists will each speak for five minutes about the notion of relevance as it relates to their research and teaching, after which an hour will be devoted to general discussion.
All audience members are encouraged to propose approaches to this subject, and to reflect on their own experiences. This exponential increase in prisons and imprisoned populations over the last several decades reveals a seeming paradox of modernity — that is, the modern era, in all its global diversity, has nonetheless been the era of the prison. The global history of the prison reveals a troubling alternative genealogy of political modernity, insofar as modern conceptions of citizenship, rights, and political emancipation have often been produced through their multiple entanglements with modern regimes of surveillance, policing, and incarceration.
Yet too often studies of penal regimes or punishment practices remain limited in their regional or theoretical scope, seeking to answer questions about particular carceral, policing, or legal realities without making links between the global economies or interlinked histories or logics of punishment. This conference seeks to address this issue by encouraging a comparative and transnational investigation of carceral and policing practices across borders, eras, and academic disciplines by bringing together several leading scholars working in the emerging and interdisciplinary field of global prison studies.
Panelists are invited to reflect on the following questions; please come and share your ideas and memories on these as well:.
How might your discipline or interdisciplinary research area contribute to the future direction of the Humanities? How has the Institute for Research in the Humanities enhanced your scholarly work or your understanding of your discipline? What role to you see for the IRH in the future of the Humanities? Following the panel, we invite all attendees to take up these questions at their tables with discussion facilitators:. The global turn in modernist studies has offered scholars of India the first significant opportunity to position modern Indian literature and theatre in the new time-space of modernism.
However, the long premodern history of these cultural forms, and their embeddedness in a complex system of multilingual literacy outside the Europhone fold, raises a range of critical issues that need systematic articulation. What are the implications of using language as a specific vector of analysis in modernist interpretation, in addition to the spatio-temporal and vertical vectors of the new modernist studies? Aparna Dharwadker is Professor of English and Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and works primarily in the areas of modern Indian and postcolonial theatre, comparative modern drama, theatre theory, and the global South Asian diaspora.
Her book, Theatres of Independence: Callaway Prize in as the best book on drama or theatre published in Romnes Fellowship for outstanding scholarship in the humanities. Indian Theatre Theory, to the Present , an edited collection of source-texts in theatre theory from multiple Indian languages, is forthcoming from Oxford University Press in Why do we see a renaissance of documentary practices in contemporary theatre?
Where and how does the idea of the affective of a staged biography or the autobiographical enter the scene? And what is the place that this genre of documentary fictions take on different stages around Latin America? One way to tackle these questions could be through the understanding the personal stories affect us, the audience, in a very direct way.
However, I also believe that an effect of this type of implosion of this genre has been to give agency to those other voices that are rarely heard or considered. She has published numerous articles on Southern Cone theatre, performance, memory politics, sites of memory, and human rights. She is the author of El teatro de Argentina y Chile: Global Perspectives Palgrave, Her current research project examines the role of the "real" in theatre and visual arts with an emphasis on contemporary documentary theatre and urban ethnography in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, and Peru.
At these sites friars studied Arabic and Hebrew grammar as well as Arabic natural philosophy and Jewish law for use as weapons in a sort of spiritual warfare against their adversaries. It might seem that the missionaries based anti-Muslim polemics on rational foundations as a way of creating a neutral epistemic space for argument. In fact, this was not the case. Rather the ideal Muslim whose authority they sought to challenge took the form of a deliberative philosopher almost as a religious or even ethnic stereotype, which they applied to elite Arab culture generally.
How did this ethnographic stereotype come to figure in the Latin missionary imagination, and what were its social consequences? His research interests focus on the interplay of mathematical and moral conceptions of civil society in the thirteenth-century Mediterranean world.
His teaching interests include networks of cross-cultural scholarly exchange during the Global Middle Ages and the development of practical knowledge alongside the "religions of the book" and the theoretical sciences of the Medieval Mediterranean World. Corrupt British forensic experts undermined race-based narratives about truth-telling and corruption in colonial India, as well as ideological claims made for western science and the rule of law. This talk examines two such cases circa that threatened credibility claims made for the new field of Indian medical jurisprudence.
Under Indian criminal procedure, the scientific expert differed from his counterpart in England in significant ways. What can this tell us about the perceived imperatives of colonial rule, and the heightened risk of corrupt experts going undetected? In addition to her second book project, she is also writing an article on abortion during the Raj and another on Asian and African law students who were expelled from the Inns of Court.
She is a regular contributor to the Legal History Blog. The history of European imperialism in the Middle East tends to follow a familiar script: The historic ties between France and Lebanon seem to exemplify this model, as commercial and political involvement followed from a legacy of French protection of Lebanese Christians allegedly dating back to the Crusades. But how did these idealized bonds appear on the ground, in interactions between individual French and Lebanese men and women, and at sites of supposed national interests and imperial influence?
What tensions arose between languages of sentiment, imperatives of production, and structures of Orientalist knowledge? By analyzing everyday conflicts at a French silk factory and orphanage complex in early twentieth-century Mount Lebanon, this talk reasseses the formation of modern imperial ideologies, arguing in the process for a shift in scale in approaching questions of formal and informal colonial regimes.
His work focuses on sites of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century European colonial encounters, particularly in ambiguously imperial contexts. His teaching interests include European gender and colonial history and the modern Mediterranean. An article based on previous research recently appeared in the December issue of German History. By , this experiment came under scathing scholarly attack.
This talk explores how that the systematic forgetting of what actually happened at Glenwood eroded the effectiveness of the various projects Skeels was praised for inspiring. Generally considered a golden age of multicultural tolerance, the Fatimid era witnessed an efflorescence of art and architecture and a relative peaceful coexistence between the religious communities in their realm. Al-Hakim is known as a psychotic destroyer of churches and synagogues; cruel persecutor of Christians, Jews, and women; killer of dogs, and God incarnate to the later Druze faith.
In this seminar, I ask: How can destruction play a productive role in medieval architecture? How does medieval architecture operate as a stage and battleground in the quest for political legitimacy? Is it true that Fatimid religious cooperation could only be disrupted by a mad man? Her research interests include art and architecture in the medieval Islamic world; the role of the caliphate and sectarian identity in architectural production; the status of Christian art in medieval Islam; and cross-cultural exchange in the medieval world.
Differences between religious groups coexisting in the same nation remain one of the thorniest sources of controversy and violence in many regions of the world. The vital role of women in creating means of transmitting religious identity and arbitrating differences has been often noted. Beth's seminar examines how nuns of diverse confessional beliefs shaped their devotional lives and negotiated their everyday lives in non-coreligious monastic, parish, and political communities after the early German Reformation c.
The overlooked presence of Protestant nuns in the Holy Roman Empire is evidence of a more complex lived experience of religious change and confessional accommodation than traditional histories of early modern Christianity would indicate. Her research questions focus on the fluidity of devotional lives of these women, the interplay between peaceful and violent resolution of religious differences, and the role these women played in shaping official and popular attitudes towards religious freedom. Her research focuses on the impact of the reform movement on family, gender roles, and religious identity in early modern Germany.
Essays in Honor of H. Erik Midelfort Ashgate, and Archaeologies of Confession: Writing the German Reformations, forthcoming. She is currently working on a book-length monograph on the experience of nuns and former nuns during the dissolution and reform of monastic life in early modern Germany. How has the history of imperialism and colonialism brought us to the current conjuncture? This symposium brings together specialists from different fields to rethink possibilities for a critical history of the East Asian present within the larger context of the postimperial world.
We plan morning and afternoon sessions for a one-day symposium. Each session will be composed of five speakers making short minute presentations. Doxing - the publicizing of private, identifying information about an individual without consent - is a fascinating cultural practice that has emerged in our digital culture. Relating to issues of surveillance, whistle-blowing, and battles over political ideologies, this talk presents doxing as a weapon of visibility , wherein the tools of online publishing and self-promotion like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media become the very same instruments meant to attack, threaten, or discipline.
By approaching doxing as a larger social practice, my talk looks to take a more nuanced understanding of doxing and its role in larger political struggles and the changing nature of identity in the age of social media. Andrew Zolides is a Ph. His research explores the influence economy, an economic framework for understanding the strategies celebrities and brands utilize through social media to generate audiences with significant value. Comparing these practices reveals how influence is generated and evaluated in contemporary neoliberal culture.
He received his B. This symposium brings together contributors to a newly burgeoning mode of work that sits at—and defies—the boundaries between scholarly research and creative art related to nature and the history of science. How does research on past scientific ideas and practices inform art? How do present-day scientific, historical, and experiential methods help us understand the relations between artistic and scientific practices of the past and open new relations in the present?
Just how does work that bridges science, history, and art, or that merges scholarship and creative production, disrupt the traditional conventions of artistic and scholarly spaces? Conversely, what sorts of spaces can provide suitable homes for such work? Scholars, artists, and scholar-artists at all career levels at the UW-Madison will join invited external speakers to present their responses to these questions and engage in group reflection on how we might advance this work in all its forms.
Memorial Library Special Collections. Welcome and Introduction to Symposium: Through large scale interdisciplinary collaboration and "expert crowd sourcing," the Making and Knowing Project explores the history and nature of craft knowledge and its relationship to art and science.

The Project reconstructs in a laboratory the instructions and "recipes" for technical procedures contained in a sixteenth-century French compilation of artistic and technical recipes. This lecture will introduce the structure, activities, and aims of the Project, highlighting the insights into materials, techniques, pre-modern understandings of nature, and craft knowledge that have resulted from the Project since its founding in Introduction and Discussion moderator: This project began as an effort to problematize the legal permitting process by muddying up the chain of title to the Penokees of northern Wisconsin where Gogebic Taconite was proposing to build the largest open-pit iron mine in North America in It is becoming an account of the interaction between competing conceptions of belonging and difference in the dispossession of the Lake Superior Ojibwe mixed bloods, who had won a treaty stipulation in the mid-nineteenth century for acre individual reserves of land in the areas ceded in two previous treaties, and the consequences of that dispossession for the Ojibwe polities.
His research focuses on the legal and political development of the tribes in the western Great Lakes Region. He is the author of The Walleye War: Apart from this research project on the historical trajectory of Lake Superior Ojibwe mixed bloods, he researching the development of the tribal courts in Wisconsin. Japan built a wartime empire in Asia in the s, and after losing that empire in created trading imperium under the American cold war umbrella.
What are the lessons that imperial Japan can teach us about the global moment of the twenties and thirties, when the rise of anti-colonial nationalism brought new pressures on longstanding imperial structures? After the cataclysm of World War Two shattered the foundations of colonial empires and divided the globe up into the first, second, and third worlds, what did this moment of rupture and the end of empire mean for Japan and Asia? Her work focuses on modern Japan, especially social and cultural history.
She is currently working on a history of the idea of class in nineteenth and twentieth century Japan. What can we learn about the past from sources long dismissed as worthless? Medieval legends recount a version of early Christian history starkly at odds with reality. They also repeat each other again and again. For these reasons, they have been branded as unreliable and unoriginal.
But what happens if we take them seriously — not as sources for early Christian history, but as evidence of how medieval people constructed and used history? This talk explores the hidden value of these supposedly worthless sources. Her research focuses on medieval Europe and, in particular, the uses and significance of hagiographical legends. Her first book demonstrated the political significance of legends celebrating largely imaginary saints. She is the author of The Perfect Genre: Italian Visual Poetry, but has since focused primarily on 15th- and 16th- century Italian literature, visual art, and intellectual culture.
Porter's Pollyanna , and Arthur Munk's The Little Engine that Could - helped spread awareness of Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science and a related religious movement known as New Thought, which promoted positive thinking as a means to health and prosperity. While historians have ably discussed how New Thought and Christian Science principles permeate aspects of modern life, from corporate culture to talk shows, twelve-step groups, diet fads, and prosperity gospel, literary scholars have had little to say about the role played by popular fiction in diffusing these faiths.
Recovering the New Thought Novel fills this gap by showing how beloved children's books have influenced us, our children, and our society, focusing especially on self-help and psychotherapy concepts like the inner child. She also co-edited two volumes published by Elsevier in as part of their Progress in Brain Research series.
Her most recent work focuses on literary authors' responses to Christian Science and New Thought on both sides of the Atlantic. When researching the history of sexuality, or thinking about past desires, erotics, and intimacies, what counts as evidence? What methods are crucial for some fields, and forgotten by others? Four scholars share their thoughts on their own unique approaches to interweave erotics, intimacies, and intensities from the past, cobbling together fragments, tracing sensations in literature, unearthing unexpected archives.
The roundtable explores how sexualities in the past can be both incomprehensibly foreign and strangely familiar. The JEMCS special issue takes up the question of historicist and queer critical methodologies, and brings to the fore cutting-edge debates both in queer theory and in early modern studies.
Friedlander will also discuss the publication process with students curating a special issue, editing, etc. Refreshments will be served. Please e-mail Jennifer Row jrow wisc. How did a wife earn her keep? This was a question a wide range of American reformers and jurists asked in the late nineteenth century. As middle-class women agitated for a greater political voice and economic independence, they appeared to be more emancipated than ever before.
Have you always wondered what a discussion about the pros and cons of same-sex versus opposite-sex sex might have looked like in 12th-century France? Helen of Troy and Ganymede water-bearer to the gods are having it out, with Helen carrying away the prize. Why and how does she win?
Tina Chronopoulos is an Assistant Professor of Classics and Medieval Studies at the University of Binghamton, State University of New York, where she teaches a range of courses in Latin language and literature, as well as in Classical civilization and medieval studies. She is a Medieval Latinist, with particular interests in twelfth-century Latin literature written in the Anglo-French cultural realm and the manuscripts in which these texts survive.
Her past research has focused on the reception of Classical Latin literature in the medieval period and the medieval Latin legend of St Katherine of Alexandria. Which nineteenth century literary genres did it play on? What kind of a transimperiality does conjugal loyalty, as defined along a register of monogamy, engender? But rather than focus on political loyalty alone-a context in which loyalty gets most prominence-, Banerjee examines interlocking formulations of loyalty across three evolving sites of modernity in nineteenth-early twentieth century Britain and its empire particularly in South Asia: In querying how and why ideas of loyalty were idealized at a moment marked both by massive industrialism and high imperialism, she studies literary and cultural modes that stabilize the seemingly counterintuitive relation between loyalty and modernity.
She works at the intersection of Victorian studies, postcolonial studies, and studies of South Asia. She is the author of Becoming Imperial Citizens: A recipient of a previous fellowship at the IRH, she has also received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Studies of fandom and fan culture have always centered on the complex feelings of fascination and frustration that motivate audiences. When we consider the way that race is represented in beloved texts, there are clearly political consequences to these emotional connections. But what about texts that are ambiguously racialized, such as cartoons and animated imagery?
When we think of "the Bible" in the 21st century, we usually think of a fixed text, in an ancient language, that is revered by one or more religious communities as "the word of God. How were those texts handed down by scribes? How did communities preserve them? The seminar will discuss the biblical manuscripts from the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls in order to answer those questions. Sidnie currently serves as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the W. She is also a member of numerous editorial boards, including Hermeneia: In her free time Dr. She usually lives in Lincoln, NE with her husband, Dr.
Crawford, and their cat, Mollie, but is delighted to be spending the year at the IRH and enjoying all that Madison has to offer. My dissertation approaches these questions by considering the relationship between natural history, personhood, and first-person prose in the United States between about and about These flocks overwhelm first-person observational norms and threaten the boundaries of the human person. Her research focuses on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American literature and the history science.
Her dissertation uses natural history to access a much larger crisis of personhood that characterized literary, scientific, and political discourse at the turn of the nineteenth century and continues to resonate in the contemporary United States. Dauer has taught literature and composition courses at UW-Madison and worked as an instructor in the Writing Center. Her dissertation research has been supported by fellowships from the Department of English, the Graduate School, and the Library Company of Philadelphia.
What can we know about women's bodies when the only people writing about them were men, and those men were generally monks? In a culture that is largely silent about the lives and bodies of women, how can we understand their embodied experiences of the world? By looking at Anglo-Saxon medical texts that features remedies, charms, and diagnostics, some of which are superstitious, some learned, and some frighteningly ignorant regarding basic physiology, we can begin to understand how the real bodies of Anglo-Saxon women functioned in a world that often left them out of the literary record.
Dana Oswald is author of the book Monsters, Gender, and Sexuality in Medieval English Literature , as well as articles on Old and Middle English literature and translation, and gender and sexuality studies. Her focus on the embodied experience of life in medieval England is a means by which contemporary readers can connect to people, characters, and problems existing in an age that can seem very foreign.
How did they develop tools that allowed them to trade and invest in human corporeality and its afflictions? In this presentation, coming from my new research project, I explore the emergence of ideas about corporeality in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Atlantic slave trading circuits that scholars have traditionally associated with the rise of the New Science and biomedicine in Western Europe.
The appearance of a quantifiable, universal body, as the evidence I examine in this project shows, was intimately linked to the unprecedented rise in the size and complexity of the commerce of human bodies in the early modern South Atlantic. He has published numerous articles and book chapters. His forthcoming book, The Experiential Caribbean: University of North Carolina Press, , explores belief making and the creation of evidence around the human body and the natural world in the early modern Caribbean and black Atlantic.
Pablo is currently working on a history of the universal quantifiable body and risk in the early modern world. The pushbutton is one of the simplest mechanical interfaces in the modern world, and one of the most prevalent. But what accounts for its enormous appeal, and what kinds of effects does it have on the people who use it? In this talk, Jason Puskar will present part of his research on the cultural and political history of the pushbutton, a device that scarcely existed before the mid-nineteenth century, but that has proliferated wildly ever since.
What happens when buttons mediate childhood, even infancy? How might they influence the process of subject-object differentiation? And to what extend do they inform people's perceptions of their own agency, freedom, or will? He is the author of Accident Society: What do cowboy robots, hapless yeomen, time machine repairmen, and third class superheroes have in common? They all issue from the imagination of Charles Yu. He is currently a screenwriter for HBO's Westworld. Drawn from the forth chapter of her current book project, Monstrous Kinds: Body, Space, and Narrative in Renaissance Representations of Disability , this talk analyzes European representations of the dwarfs, mutes, and eunuchs who served the Ottoman sultans.
Accounts of these boon companions emphasize their relative privilege and mobility within and without the sequestered space of the seraglio. The talk draws on a variety of travel texts, including works by Osier Busbecq d. The transnational presence of people with physical impairments, illustrated by the Ottoman court, reinforces European understandings of the alternative capacities that sensory impairment generates. Ultimately, people with physical impairments do not simply serve as marvels, but rather demand reassessments of European verbal and visual representational strategies and definitions of abnormality.
Her first monograph, The Emblematics of the Self: Ekphrasis and Identity in Renaissance Imitations of Greek Romance , was published by the University of Toronto Press in and has been positively reviewed in leading journals. How does the mundane object serve as a catalyst for exploring the relationship between aesthetics and political injury? Is race always bound to the circulation of negative feeling? We understand the harm embodied by the mammy cookie jar. Yet in the 21 st -century, the anthropomorphic object has found new life: Exploring the convergence among theories of aesthetic form, affect, and stereotyping, this talk seeks to uncover the utility of fantasy and force of nonhuman actants.
That's Qingdao
Presented in partnership with the Burdick-Vary Lecture Series: Asian Americans and the Pleasures of Fantasy. For over , Hmong Americans living in the U. Yet what role are Hmong women playing in shaping the use of these digital media technologies? How are Hmong women able to use media to influence new cultural practices, or to challenge patriarchal conditions? This research project is based on an ethnographic analysis of Hmong women and the groundbreaking ways that they adapt mobile phone technologies to their own specific needs.
She is the author of Asian American Media Activism: But did time always impact sexuality the same way? I examine a mid-seventeenth-century moment in France when the appearance of precise minute and second hands on newly portable clocks revolutionized the very experience of time, offering a new texture to time passing, to haste, and to slowness. Time calibrated sexuality in new ways: One essential component of biopower, I suggest, includes the management of speeds and slownesses.
Her research and teaching interests include French and English early modern theater, queer and feminist theory, and affect theory. Her book project, Queer Velocities: Time, Sex and Biopower on the Early Modern Stage , looks at the impact of newly precise timekeeping technologies on queer erotics onstage in seventeenth-century France; a chapter stemming from this project will appear in Exemplaria The reservation deadline is This documentary follows the careers of four Asian American rappers — including Dumbfoundead, Awkwafina, Rekstizzy and Lyricks -- who must literally and figuratively battle for a space in a hip hop culture that fails to acknowledge their existence.
This documentary by Tad Nakamura tells the story of Native Hawaiian youth who are combining indigenous forms of spirituality with the contemporary art of graffiti in order to build community. Produced by University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student Yizhou Xu, this documentary examines the cultural, economic, and political implications of contemporary love in China. Is this a separate feature of dialogue, independent of the detailed philosophical arguments? Instead of being religious window-dressing, I argue that Socrates gives these views precise accounts and an important role in the arguments, appropriating and transforming Pythagorean and Orphic views to present a radical new account of the soul, the good life, and the nature of reality.
