SUMMARY:Cases and Scale in Historiography
DESCRIPTION:Conference organized by Michael Osman and Cristóbal Amunátegui (University of California\, Los Angeles) \nIn the last few decades\, debates stemming from the science and history “wars” have called attention to the ways in which cases are constructed and proven across disciplines. “Cases and Scale in Historiography” will explore the relationship between the case and one of its constitutive elements: scale. Among many other things\, cases are a way of managing distance: between the past and the present\, the far away and the near\, norms and exceptions\, ideation and reality. Thus defined\, cases are inevitably bound to the shifting measures and temporalities of scale\, something which may seem at odds with today’s dominant culture of scholarly specialization. Like magnets\, cases have the potential of centripetally attracting different knowledge\, sites\, and periods in order to solve the problems they pose. To deal with the spatiotemporal vagaries of scale\, however\, entails facing a wide-ranging set of historiographical and epistemological difficulties: the scalar analysis imposed by cases seems to pit historiographical specificity against both blind specialization and Diogenean erudition. By pointing to the links between scale and the case\, then\, our invitation is to explore the limits and possibilities of the historian as both expert and generalist. \nPlease visit the website for the list of speakers and program schedule and register for this event. \n

SUMMARY:Katherine Philips\, Meta-Metaphysical Poet
DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Karmiole Endowed Graduate Research Fellowship   \nLecture by Arya Sureshbabu\, Ph.D. Candidate in English\, University of California\, Berkeley. Recipient of the 2024–25 Kenneth Karmiole Endowed Graduate Research Fellowship \nKatherine Philips (1632–64) occupies an unusual place in the canon of seventeenth-century poetry. Now alternatively billed as an apostle of female friendship or a proto-sapphic icon\, she was also known in her own time as an exemplary practitioner of intimacy. But a less adulatory strain of reception history reads her verse as overstuffed with hyperbolic praise and extended conceits that fail to sustain readerly interest. This talk suggests that these seemingly contradictory assessments of Philips are in fact connected: her poems and letters express closeness through a disproportionate outpouring of attention to minor details\, petty situations\, and all-too-earthly individuals. Philips’s preoccupation with the interplay between excess and diminution is as stylistic as it is thematic; her copious adaptations of her poetic predecessors index a process of intimate reading in addition to describing intimate relationships among members of her literary coterie. Her self-conscious reflections on the twinned practices of reading and writing are especially evident in her embellishments of John Donne’s poems\, where she iteratively revises his images with an assiduousness that anticipates modern characterizations of the metaphysical conceit’s simultaneous fragility and force. Taking these resonances as a point of departure\, this presentation explores how Philips’s poetics blur the lines between affection\, interpretation\, and creative endeavor—and how eighteenth-century readers’ fleeting encounters with her literary output remix and reactivate its intimate potentials. \nArya Sureshbabu is a PhD candidate in English with a Designated Emphasis in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is completing a dissertation on intimacy and textual minutiae in the poetry\, drama\, and correspondence of the English Renaissance. In addition to the Center & Clark\, her work has been supported by the Beinecke Library\, the Harry Ransom Center\, the UC Humanities Research Institute\, and the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women and Gender. \nFor additional details and to register for the Zoom lecture

SUMMARY:The Codex Osuna: A Landmark Nahua Lawsuit in Early Colonial Mexico City
DESCRIPTION:Early Modern Research Group  Works-in-Progress Session \nPresented by Sofia Yazpik\, Ph.D. Student\, University of California\, Los Angeles \nThe Codex Osuna\, or the Pintura del gobernador\, alcaldes y regidores de México (Painting of the Municipal Governor\, Judges\, and Councilors of Mexico)\, is a pictorial and Nahuatl-language text produced by Nahuas for a legal dispute in Mexico City during the sixteenth century. It is a valuable resource for deepening our understanding of how the Spanish legal system functioned in New Spain and how Indigenous litigants strategically presented their cases to defend their rights and property within this colonial institution\, particularly during the politically tumultuous period of the 1560s. By focusing on pictorial writing in particular\, Yazpik’s research project seeks to demonstrate the Codex Osuna’s historical significance in the early colonial period by examining how Indigenous peoples utilized their own creative forms of expression within the Spanish legal system. \nSofía Yazpik is a third-year Ph.D. student in History at UCLA. Her research focuses on Mesoamerican codices\, presently examining an early colonial legal pictorial and alphabetic-writing manuscript from central Mexico. She is interested in Indigenous productions of knowledge\, the relationship between pictorial and alphabetic writing systems\, and early modern collecting practices. \nFor additional details and to register for the Zoom lecture\, visit the website.

SUMMARY:‘Wild and Ungovernable Passions’: Emotional Scripts and the Fate of U.S. Expansion in the Vigilante Rocky Mountain West\, 1864–1866
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Abby Gibson\, Ph.D. Candidate in History\, University of Southern California. Recipient of the 2024–25 Kenneth Karmiole Endowed Graduate Research Fellowship \nThe Montana Vigilantes\, as they have become known within the popular nostalgia of the Wild West\, were almost immediately and are still often hailed as heroes of the frontier in their brave efforts to fill in for the American justice system in the wild days before statehood. In 1866\, English schoolteacher and recent arrival to Montana Territory\, Thomas J. Dimsdale\, published a passionate defense of the events of January and February 1864–The Montana Vigilantes!–which is held in the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library’s vast collection of Montana memorabilia. Dimsdale’s book is among the most cited firsthand accounts of the Montana Vigilantes\, but in this presentation Gibson will take a different angle on his work by bringing to the fore his extensive commentary on the disorderly emotional climate of Montana Territory that made the extremism of the vigilante violence possible. With this affective lens trained on Dimsdale’s account\, Gibson will discuss not only an implicit ambivalence in his descriptions of the Vigilantes\, but consider the larger story of emotional containment and U.S. expansion in the Rocky Mountain West contained within this work. \nAbby Gibson is a Ph.D. candidate in the Van Hunnick History Department at the University of Southern California and an Editorial Assistant for The Huntington Library Quarterly. Before arriving at USC\, she received her Master’s degree in the history of the American West at the University of Oklahoma\, where she worked as one of two Editorial Fellows for The Western Historical Quarterly during her two years at OU. Abby’s dissertation\, “Fearful Land: Managing Terror in the American West\, 1820–1920” lies at the intersection of the history of U.S. westward expansion and the history of emotions. \nFor additional details and to register for the Zoom lecture\, please visit the website

SUMMARY:Early Global Caribbean: Conference 2: Convictions
DESCRIPTION:Conference organized by Carla Gardina Pestana (UCLA) and Gabriel de Avilez Rocha (Brown University) \nCo-sponsored by the Joyce Appleby Endowed Chair of America in the World \nThe diverse peoples who converged on the Caribbean before 1700 held a range of differing beliefs\, ideas about the natural world\, and understandings of social\, political\, and spiritual order. Considering how Indigenous\, African\, and European systems of thought and faith clashed\, adapted\, and transformed will be the focus of this second meeting. We invite participants to consider how culturally specific systems of knowledge were expressed and transformed under emergent rubrics of what would become known as religion\, science\, and law. We will likewise reflect on how these ideas animated the creation and maintenance of institutions of governance and knowledge production both in the Caribbean and extending beyond it. This conference grants an opportunity to weigh how the globalization of the early Caribbean marked historical changes in beliefs and ideas but also witnessed continuities that cut across the 1492 divide. In the process\, a multitude of convictions about spiritual\, natural\, corporal\, social\, and political order helped shape (and were reshaped by) encounters in the Basin. \nFor the list of speakers and the program schedule\, please visit the website.
