EIHS Lecture: Towards a History of Agrarian Urbanism in India (January 28, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79649 79649-20438367@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 28, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

This talk presents one genealogy for exploring how the city and the countryside were conceptualized in relation to one another in late colonial India. In particular, it will underscore the contribution urban professionals made to managing—and imagining—agrarian space. Rural change and the expert knowledge required to manage the countryside opened paths for urban concepts and categories to reshape agrarian space in a process that, among other things, gradually made the Indian village legible to town planners. In this way, rural space was made subject to an ensemble of institutional forms and practices grounded in emergent urban paradigms.

William Glover teaches modern South Asian history at the University of Michigan. His research interests include South Asian colonial and post-colonial urban and cultural history, social theory, and the material culture of built environments. He is the author of Making Lahore Modern: Constructing and Imagining a Colonial City (University of Minnesota Press, 2008; winner of the American Institute of Pakistan Studies Junior Book Award), and of several articles exploring the imbrication of built environments, knowledge cultures, and urban processes in South Asia.  Professor Glover is the former director of the University of Michigan's Center for South Asian Studies, and former associate director of the International Institute at the University of Michigan.

Free and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom.

Presented in partnership with the Center for South Asian Studies. This 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.

International Institute Conference on Arts of Devotion (March 4, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81757 81757-20951378@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 4, 2021 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: International Institute

Free and open to the public; register at http://myumi.ch/wleGk

The phrase “Arts of Devotion” typically brings to mind traditional ritual objects used as part of religious practices, or evokes items like costumes, masks, dances, songs, poetry, and literature. Arts of Devotion can tend to be conflated with only those items that are understood as “traditional,” rather than those that emerge from the contemporary moment, as if modern and contemporary art can only be associated with the purely secular world.

Yet there are numerous contemporary artists who have incorporated elements of the devotional into their works, and devotional arts have changed with the advent of modern technologies and changing socio-political contexts. We might also consider Arts of Devotion as potentially extending beyond the usual association with the religious to other “devotional” relationships, such as those for political or revolutionary leaders, or individuals’ loved ones.

This year’s conference explores both contemporary and traditional Arts of Devotion by bringing together scholars from across disciplines and temporal and regional contexts, to engage with one another and a broader audience of faculty, students, and the general public.

Free and open to the public.
This conference is funded in part by five (5) Title VI National Resource Center grants from the U.S. Department of Education

Co-sponsors: African Studies Center, Center for Armenian Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, Kenneth G. Lieberthal and Richard H. Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Center for South Asian Studies, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Program in International and Comparative Studies, History of Art, University of Michigan Museum of Art

Translation and Memory: Hispanofilipino Literature and the Archive in the US Midwest (March 12, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/77488 77488-21034701@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 12, 2021 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Seminar coordinator: Marlon James Sales (U-M Postdoctoral Fellow in Critical Translation Studies)

Although Filipino migration has historically converged in other places across the US, it is in the Midwest, particularly at the University of Michigan, where some of the most extensive archival sources on this Southeast Asian nation can be found. These sources are generally used to examine US imperialism in Asia-Pacific, often glossing over the fact that the American period in the Philippines also led to the flourishing of Filipino literature in Spanish as a nationalist response. In this second installment of our Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminars, we shall analyze the archive as a site of translation and historical memory as a multilingual construct, focusing specifically on Hispanofilipino texts in the libraries of the University of Michigan and the broader Midwest. Translation here means two things. Since Spanish has never been spoken widely in the Philippines despite three centuries of colonial rule, translation may refer to the rendering of texts in another language supposedly understood by a majority of local readers. But given the limitations in how archival data is stored in the Philippines, translation may also refer to the movement of the archival sources themselves, whether physically or digitally, thus reclaiming them as objects of cultural memory. How has translation contributed to a monolingualized commemoration of multilingual pasts? What are the stakes of reconstructing a nation’s history through texts written in colonial languages? In which ways can translation help in recuperating a peripheral literary tradition in Spanish?

Symposium: Where Is Social Reproduction Theory Now? (March 19, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79658 79658-20438377@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 19, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

There has been an explosion in recent years of scholarship on social reproduction theory (SRT), which builds on a long tradition of critique within Marxist feminist scholarship that has focused on the labor required to produce workers and society as a whole. While it arose out of the need to explain the continued oppression of women under capitalism, the SRT framework has been extended to understanding racism and other sources of division between workers. SRT offers a perspective on the link between the oppressive logics of “race,” sexuality, ability, gender, and more, with the development and actualization of labor powers. In short, a renewed SRT provides a historical materialist theory of multiple oppressions within capitalist society. This body of scholarship, varied in its political and theoretical orientations, takes as its subject precisely the continuous and daily reproduction of capitalism as a system. Our round table discussion consists of a conversation with Tithi Bhattacharya, one of the foremost proponents of social reproduction theory, on some of the recent developments in SRT and their relevance in our current conjuncture.

Registrants will receive a link to a pre-circulated paper by Professor Bhattacharya.

Panelists:
Tithi Bhattacharya, Associate Professor, History, Purdue University
Sueann Caulfield, Associate Professor, History, University of Michigan
Emily A. Peterson, Lecturer, Women's and Gender Studies, University of Michigan
Ruby Tapia, Associate Professor; English Language and Literature, Women's and Gender Studies; University of Michigan
Rosario Ceballo (moderator), Professor; Women's and Gender Studies, Psychology; University of Michigan

Free and open to the public.

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg. Presented in partnership with the Department of Women's and Gender Studies.
