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:Preserving Your Family History
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library to learn the basics of understanding and caring for your family heirlooms with the Clark’s librarians and conservators from the UCLA Library Preservation & Conservation Department. \nParticipants may bring up to five paper-based heirlooms (no larger than 18” x 24”) from their own collections. These items will become part of the instructional display\, alongside examples from the Clark Library’s stacks. Using this group display\, librarians and conservators will be able to discuss and show common issues – and provide guidance for next steps and other preservation resources. \nFor more information and to register for this workshop\, please visit our website. \nThis workshop is limited to 30 participants and will be filled on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nRegistration will close on Monday\, February 17 at 5:00 p.m.

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: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
