SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: “The Spirit of Speculation: John Law and Economic Theology in the Age of Lights”
DESCRIPTION:Professor Coleman's lecture traces the surprising influence of sacramental theology on the reception of John Law’s efforts to reform public finances and colonial trade in France. Allusions to the mysteries of transubstantiation and transmutation abounded in cultural productions of the period\, which depict Law’s new banknotes and company shares as giving rise to unimaginable riches seemingly overnight. Professor Coleman will argue that a Eucharistic-alchemical complex lent itself not only to describing the function of these instruments\, but also to rendering intelligible their myriad effects on private and public affairs. The spiritual desideratum of inexhaustibility underwrote popular participation in Law’s system\, which demanded that French subjects invest themselves with abandon in the dream of limitless accumulation.\n\nCharly Coleman is an assistant professor of history at Columbia University\, where he teaches courses on early modern and modern Europe\, as well as in the Core Curriculum. He received his PhD in history at Stanford University. Before coming to Columbia\, he taught at the University of Chicago and Washington University in St. Louis. Coleman specializes in the history of 18th-century France\, with a particular emphasis on the intersections between religion and Enlightenment thought. His first book\, The Virtues of Abandon (Stanford University Press\, 2014\; awarded the 2016 Laurence Wylie Prize in French Cultural Studies)\, fundamentally recasts the French Enlightenment as a protracted struggle to fix the self’s relationship to property in its myriad forms. In so doing\, it uncovers a wide-ranging\, coherent\, and influential culture of dispossession\, the partisans of which fought to strip the self of its property\, its personality\, and even its very existence as an individual. Coleman has further elaborated the stakes of this anti-individualist history of the period in a series of articles and book chapters\, including pieces for The Journal of Modern History and The Cambridge Companion to the French Enlightenment. His most recent research has turned to the crucial role played by economic theology during the long 18th century in France\, with an eye to revealing a distinctly Catholic ethic that animated the spirit of capitalism at its inception.\n \nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Leadership Cyberinfrastructure for Science and the Humanities
DESCRIPTION:(Note different date and location)\n\nIn the past two decades high energy physics transformed its computing model from one relying on a single high performance computing center at the host laboratory to one incorporating resources distributed across institutional boundaries and geographic regions. Given the complexity of detectors and scale of data\, the international collaborations of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN demanded it. By removing barriers to resource sharing\, the resulting data and computation platform democratized the physics process across collaborations. Accelerated modes of scientific discovery by thousands of physicists were forged using hundreds of data centers linked by very high bandwidth networks. Meanwhile the explosion of commercial\, social and enterprise data has driven innovation in resource abstraction and the creation of new service platforms\, offering fresh opportunities to accelerate science and intellectual inquiry at all scales and across all domains. In this talk I’ll discuss the strategic significance that cyberinfrastructure technology plays in this regard and describe models for creating ubiquitous “substrates” that remove obstacles to connecting campuses\, facilities\, instruments and researchers. \n\nBio: Robert Gardner is a Senior Scientist at the Computation Institute from the University of Chicago\, and a Senior Scientist in the Enrico Fermi Institute. He spent his early academic career doing experimental high-energy physics research at different universities in the Midwest. He has been a member of the ATLAS experiment using the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN Laboratory\, Geneva\, Switzerland since 1998. His experimental work led him to specialize in developing and improving distributed computing technologies necessary for discoveries at the frontier of particle physics. He was instrumental in developing early research computing grids in the U.S.: the International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory (iVDGL)\, and the first deployment of the Open Science Grid (OSG) (NSF\, Department of Energy). He have also generated systems for metrics collection for distributed systems (Grid Telemetry\, PI\, NSF-ITR). Currently\, he directs the ATLAS Midwest Tier2 Center\, which is comprised of integrated computing facilities from the University of Chicago\, Indiana University\, and the University of Illinois.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Logic
DESCRIPTION:An equivalence relation E is hypersmooth (hyperfinite) if E is the union of an increasing sequence of smooth (finite) Borel equivalence relations.  In the mid 80s\, Weiss proved that the equivalence relation generated by a finite family of commuting Borel automorphisms is hyperfinite\, and in the mid 90s\, Dougherty\, Jackson\, and Kechris proved that the equivalence relation generated by a single Borel endomorphism is hypersmooth.  We will generalize both results to show that the equivalence relation generated by a finite family of commuting Borel endomorphisms is hypersmooth.  As is typical in this area\, the proof will involve the construction of a suitable family of Borel marker sets.  This talk will be part 1 of 2. Speaker(s): Scott Schneider (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Peggy McCracken\, Domna C. Stanton Collegiate Professor of French\, Women's Studies\, and Comparative Literature Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:There are many stories about wildmen in medieval Europe\, and in this lecture I focus on one particularly strange example from fourteenth-century France. Tristan de Nanteuil recounts the story of a foundling raised by animals in the forest\, but describes the forest as a place of organized social relations among the animals and the child\, and even imagines that they share a symbolic kinship. The wild boy discovers his human identity in a series of encounters with gendered bodies\, and ultimately leaves animal society to take his place in a noble human lineage. In its representations of animality and gendered embodiment\, this fictional text offers a perspective on what it means to be human\, even as it questions the categories through which human distinction is commonly defined.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:LatinX Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15\, by celebrating the histories\, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain\, Mexico\, the Caribbean\, and Central and South America.\n\nThe observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson\, and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17\, 1988\, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.\n\nThe day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica\, El Salvador\, Guatemala\, Honduras\, and Nicaragua. In addition\, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18\, respectively. Also\, Columbus Day\, or Día de la Raza\, which is October 12\, falls within this 30 day period.\n\nYou may remember this month referred to as Latino/a\, Latin@\, or LatinX Heritage month in the past.  In an attempt to be more inclusive\, the committee decided this year to update the name outside of a gender binary.  \n\nPlease join us for some festivities and celebrate the LatinX community over free food.
