SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | On the Origins of Leptiminus: Constructing Identity in the First Millennium BCE
DESCRIPTION:Leptiminus\, a city on the east coast of Tunisia\, was the site of a Kelsey Museum archaeological project in the 1990s. Michigan’s research focused on the expansion of the city under Rome\, its exports to the empire\, and the activities of its suburbs. \n\nIn this talk\, David Stone examines the evidence for the origins of the city—a subject that might be thought of as the “prequel” to Michigan’s research focus. He investigates the settlement and cemeteries of the 5th to 3rd century BCE\, a time when we see the horizons of inhabitants expanding as they came into more frequent contact with other Mediterranean cultures. Using an approach to rooted in identity and globalization theories\, Dr. Stone argues that to understand the early phases of the city\, one must shift the debate on North African peoples in the first millennium BCE away from a focus on discrete cultural groups and toward the ways material culture was employed to make statements regarding power\, identity\, and social status.\n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/nLAPRPWoJwfgcGrm9. Zoom log-in information will be provided upon registration. Please sign up by 9:30 AM the day of the event to ensure you receive a confirmation email containing the access code.

Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series | \"What Strange Woman is Here?\": Laura Benedict's Fieldwork among the Bagobos of the Southern Philippines\, 1906-1908
DESCRIPTION:For fourteen months between 1906 and 1908\, the American anthropologist Laura Benedict was conducting participant observation fieldwork among the Bagobos of Mindanao\, a people infamous in the colonial anthropological imaginary for their practice of human sacrifice\, but likewise for the richness of their material culture. Benedict's work has largely been overshadowed by her physical and mental breakdown resulting from the grueling conditions she faced in the field\, but likewise\, Fernandez argues\, was a situation that stemmed from her intense commitment not only to the work of research\, but also to her deep identifications with the Bagobos. According to her contemporaries\, her later fieldwork was characterized by an increasing \"paranoia\" towards the American hemp planters of the region\, whose incursions\, she believed\, caused \"a severe crisis in [the Bagobos'] tribal history\,\" representing a breakdown of their \"traditional\" way of life\, thus looking on in horror at the Bagobos' acculturation. This talk analyzes Benedict's fieldwork to make sense of the early history of anthropological fieldwork in the American colonial Philippines by contextualizing Benedict's fieldwork praxis through her gendered experiences of research\, and examining the way that the Bagobos of Mindanao invited\, of their own volition\, Benedict's participation in their cultural and religious life.\n   \n   Juan Fernandez is assistant professor of Southeast Asian history at the University of Wisconsin - Madison\, where he is working on his first book project\, \"Becoming Natives\,\" which is a history of how gender and ethnographic fieldwork intertwine to produce anthropological knowledge in the early twentieth century in the American Philippines.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
