SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Translating the Frontier: Just War and Free Circulation on the Roads of Colonial Mexico
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\n\nIn 1618\, colonial Mexican officials established a city called Córdoba along the highway between Mexico City and Veracruz to secure silver shipments from attacks by African maroons. Strikingly\, they described the city as both a “frontier” and a “frontier fort.” This talk reads the new city as a translation of the technologies of war from the frontier to the center and traces a discursive shift from just war to economic circulation that accompanied it.\n\nDaniel Nemser is a 2025-26 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and  Associate Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures.
