SUMMARY:Works-in-Progress Session: Earth and Exchange: Tapia and the Construction of Early Modern Iberia
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel Schloss\, Doctoral Candidate\, University of California\, Los Angeles\n\nHosted by the Early Modern Research Group \nOnline event via Zoom\nTo register\, please visit: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/qHytTYlcTiiINu5XzDQiew\n \nEarthen materials have played a critical role in political and social development on the Iberian Peninsula. The unique geology of the Peninsula harbors rich soils\, minerals\, and clays that have featured in the built environment and material culture of diverse peoples and practices across the region up to the present: Spain and Portugal together are two of the world’s largest exporters of ceramics. Iberian earthen architectural traditions are part of this suite of practices\, but their deep importance to cultural and political realities is underexplored. \nIn this presentation\, Rachel Schloss analyzes the social\, cultural\, and technological history of tapia\, a system of rammed-earth building utilized on the Iberian Peninsula from the 11th to 17th centuries CE\, from which impressive large-scale structures were built\, including the Alhambra in Granada. In particular\, Schloss considers how the shifts and changes in the material and construction technology over time were underwritten by political developments and exchange of knowledge as well as shifting relationships with the environment and the earth. As tapia originated in the Near East\, Schloss reflects on the question: Is there such a thing as Iberian tapia? Finally\, by understanding tapia as a means to sculpt the Iberian built landscape out of earth\, Schloss demonstrates how the technology tells a story of the construction of Early Modern Iberian identity into the age of conquest\, where Iberians exported earthen practices and values to new places. \nRachel Schloss is a doctoral candidate in the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology\, where she studies early modern Andean and Iberian earthen practices\, and their roles in shaping built environments and the construction of Inca history. In her doctoral research\, Schloss combines methods from Archaeology\, Art and Architectural History\, Indigenous Studies\, and Geology. Additionally\, Schloss co-coordinates the Architecture Lab and Architecture Working Group at UCLA. Her research has been supported by UCLA’s Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies\, Latin American Institute\, Cotsen Institute\, and the Division of Graduate Education\, and by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, the Society of Architectural Historians\, and the Vernacular Architecture Forum.

SUMMARY:Clark Library Nature and Garden Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Clark Library preserves and provides access to over 130\,000 books\, manuscripts\, and artworks dating from the 15th century to the present. But there is a library of living things on the five acres outside the library’s building\, too\, and this event will celebrate the urban nature and green spaces at the Clark – and across LA! \nAttendees can get garden advice from an expert UC Master Gardener\, go on bird walks with experienced guides from UCLA’s Bruin Birding Club\, and learn more about how people thought and learned about gardens and wild creatures in the 1700s through rare books on display inside the historic library building. Attendees will also be able to make their own field notebooks\, participate in a Clark Library Biodiversity survey on iNaturalist to help expand our knowledge of the library’s outdoor collections\, plant seeds to take home from our heirloom seed library\, trade plant cuttings and seeds with other attendees – and more! \nAll ages are welcome! Registration is free\, but limited; please fill out the form below. Guests are welcome to bring a lunch and picnic on the Clark grounds\, and to explore all of the day’s activities at their own pace. The Clark can be reached via LA Metro and LADOT Dash public transit\, and free parking and bike racks are available on site; please see here for more information and directions.
