Lincoln’s Greatest Speech was honored as a New York Times Notable Book of 2002 and was on the best-seller list of the Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle. The Book-of-the-Month Club said of The Eloquent President, “this is a book unlike any other you have read on our 16th president.” The Eloquent President has been on the Los Angeles Times bestselling list and in addition to being a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club was selected by The History Book Club as its Main Selection for March 2005.

He is a Visiting Professor in the History department at UCLA for the Spring Quarter. (see below). White is the author or editor of seven books and is presently writing a biography of Abraham Lincoln. He has lectured at the White House and been interviewed on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer. He is Professor of American Religious History at San Francisco Theological Seminary and a Fellow at the Huntington Library.

This quarter Prof. White is teaching the course on Religion in the USA (History 142C) here at UCLA, giving our students a special opportunity to learn from one of the leading historians of the effects of religious beliefs and practices on life in America. The last time he was our guest (two years ago) his students gave him rave evaluations. So the word is out there, and his course is once again full to overflowing.

-- submitted by Heather Gould (gould@humanities.ucla.edu)

This series will explore the role and place of theory in the field of Comparative Literature. As a discipline whose academic identity in recent years has been closely associated with the intellectual currents and movements thought of as “high theory,” recent pronouncements of the end of theory invite a critical reflection on the future of the field. Of particular interest in this series will be the question of the way globalization has transformed academic conversations about both theory and world literature.

Thursday, April 27, 4 pm, in 1230 Schoenberg Music Building (the Green Room). All are welcome and a reception will follow. Please see his abstract below.

The Making of Happy Land: Musical Tributes to Laura Ingalls Wilder: Applied Musicology and Citizenship

Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books reference 126 songs and thus constitute one of the best and most detailed memoirs of music-making in 19th-century American families and lives. Her uses of music and music-making give essential shape to the narratives and add depth and meaning. Professor Cockrell explores musical memoir-making and the role that music plays in these immensely popular and influential books.

More than just an exercise in academic understanding, Professor Cockrell has recently snuck out of the Ivory Tower and incorporated his own record label. In Nashville, Tennessee no less. And has begun producing “scholarly informed” recordings of the old music from “The Ingalls- Wilder Family Songbook” made to sound fresh and new. Pa’s Fiddle Recordings, LLC, hopes to enable readers young and old to re-hear the music inscribed into the narratives and revive a living regard for many of the nation’s musical treasures.

Laying musicological rubber on the road has prompted further reflections on the responsibility of the citizen musicologist to the public sphere, to the future of the discipline, and to the means for fuller life-actualization through music-understanding and music-making.

Margarita Cota-Cárdenas

Sanctuaries and Readings from the Heart: Poetry and Prose

A bilingual reading in english & spanish followed by a Q&A session with the author.

Copies of "Sanctuaries of the Heart" and "Puppet" will be available for purchase.

April 13, 2007 Royce 306 4:00 p.m.

Margarita Cota-Cárdenas was born in 1941 in the rural town of Heber, Imperial County, California, just eight miles north of the Mexico–U.S. border. She spoke only Spanish before starting first grade, and her home became increasingly bilingual through the years. Her family became involved in agricultural or farm labor from their early years in the U.S., and after their migration over several years to the central San Joaquin Valley in California, they settled there. It was in the San Joaquin Valley that Margarita graduated from high school in Newman, California; from college in Turlock, California; and earned a Master’s degree from the University of California, Davis, in 1968. After returning to teach two years at her alma matter in Turlock, she came to the University of Arizona to pursue her doctoral degree, which she received in 1980. She raised three children during these years. Except for 1980-1981, Margarita has lived in Arizona from 1970 to the present. She taught at Arizona State University for over twenty years until Fall 2002, when she retired as Professor Emerita. She principally taught bilingual Spanish, Chicano/Chicana literature and Mexican literature courses.

Margarita has written since high school, where she wrote a column called “Just Talking.” She has published short stories, which have in part been incorporated in her novels Puppet (1985), and Sanctuaries of the Heart (2005). Puppet, considered to be the fi rst novel in Spanish by a Chicana in the U.S., was translated into English by Dr. Trino Sandoval of Phoenix College and Dr. Barbara Riess of Allegheny College, with the author and was published in a bilingual edition by The University of New Mexico Press in 2000. She also is the cofounder of Scorpion Press, which in the 1970s published four books of poetry, including her fi rst collection Noches despertando in Conciencias. Her second collection, Marchitas de mayo: sones pa’al pueblo, appeared in 1989.

She has been inspired by writers like Tomás Rivera, to “write about what you know, what has happened to you or to people you know.” Rivera maintained that sincerity and good writing went hand in hand, rather than dogma, in describing the Chicano/Chicana experience. Margarita says: “You need to have those ganas, a sense of humor, and a lot of persistence, to make it in this life!”

REMEMBERING LOT 'S WIFE

By

Professor LOWELL GALLAGHER, UCLA Department of English

WEDNESDAY, 25 APRIL 2007 12PM – 1:30PM BUNCHE HALL, 6275

About the lecture: Biblical tradition, informed by both midrashic commentary and patristic exegesis, remembers Lot's wife as a type of improvident curiosity or disobedience. Literary and visual cultures in modernity emphasize instead the figure's legibility as witness to catastrophe or trauma. Professor Gallagher's talk explores a significant middle zone charted between these two scripts: the redeployment of the figure in early modern religious polemics (Protestant vs. Romanist) over the identifying marks of the true Church.

About Professor Gallagher: Lowell Gallagher is Associate Professor of English (UCLA) and specializes in literary, theological, and visual cultures of Catholicism in early modernity.

Our first conference in part looked back to see how the early modern empires of Europe and Asia borrowed from the empires of the past. Our second examined the ways in which empires managed the sometimes stark differences between their various subject peoples. This final conference will look forward to see how the empires of the nineteenth, twentieth, and even twenty-first centuries, represent continuity, or a discontinuity with the empires of the early-modern world. By the end of the eighteenth century, two of the major imperial European powers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Spain and Portugal were in eclipse. France had lost nearly all its possessions in America and India. The Ottomans were in retreat. The Mughal Empire had become in effect a dependency of the East India Company. New imperial and would-be imperial powers now began to appear: Russia which now had the largest land empire in the world, Germany, Japan, post-Napoleonic France, and, of course, the United States. And by the early nineteenth century, Britain, after the loss of much of North America embarked on an aggressive new imperial phase; so, too, did France. It has often been claimed that these new empires were wholly unlike their predecessors. But were they, and if they were, in what ways were they different? Was, for instance, the rise of nationalism after the Congress of Vienna responsible for the creation of entirely new imperial practices, and quite distinct imperial cultures? How, indeed, was the concept of the ‘nation-state” shaped by the evolution or collapse of the older imperial states? Or was there in fact considerably continuity between the first and second phases of European empire-building? Did international commerce, for so long believed to be a possible alternative to expansion, now become merely another form of imperial belligerency? How much did the process of what the British called “indirect rule” and the French “politique des races” really differ from previous understandings of imperial sovereignty?

These are just some of the questions which this conference will attempt to answer. If the current debate over the role of “empire” and “imperialism” in the modern world is to have any meaning, we have to look beyond easy slogans and the simplistic analogies between past and present. Empires, however we define them, have, in one form or another, been with us far longer than any other kind of political society. They are now, almost certainly things of the past. But if we are to understand the ways in which they have, shaped the post-colonial, post-imperial world, we have also to understand their very long varied and complex histories.

Elizabeth Povinelli is professor of Anthropology & Gender Studies and Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Law & Culture. Her writing has focused on developing a critical theory of late liberalism, grounded in theories of the translation, transfiguration and the circulation of values, materialities, and socialities within settler liberalisms. She looks at how the distinction between individual freedom and social bondage subtends and animates most theories and practices of sexuality in postcolonial liberalisms. Her publications include: The Cunning of Recognition: Indigenous Alterities and the Making of Australian Multiculturalism; The Empire of Love: Toward a Theory of Intimacy, Genealogy, and Carnality; and Labor's Lot: The Power, History, and Culture of Aboriginal Action.

Perspectives on Periodization and British Literature, 1660-1900

193 Humanities Building, UCLA

Friday, April 11th, 2008 - 4:00pm

Participants from UCLA Department of English: Jonathan Grossman Saree Makdisi Anne Mellor Felicity Nussbaum

Moderator: Noah Comet

Join us for a discussion of the practical and theoretical concerns surrounding periodization and the study of British literature 1660-1900. Participants will address questions such as: What is the utility of a long, wide, or deep century? What kinds of projects, arguments, or theoretical approaches flourish or diminish within such frameworks, as compared to designations like Romanticism, Victorianism, Regency or Restoration? How do current practices in researching, publishing, hiring, and teaching reflect and/or influence the ongoing reconceptualization of literary historical boundaries from 1660 to 1900? Reception to follow.

The Gough Map is a fascinating document, opening up questions of its production, purpose, and provenance, all of which are undocumented. GIS allows us to do some statistical analyses on the geographical features shown on the map (such as towns and cities) to explore its un- evenness in cartographic 'accuracy', and thus use the content of the map as a 'way in' to working out why it was made, how, and for whom. This, then, raises broader questions of surveying and cartography practices in fourteenth-century England, as well as statecraft and geographical knowledge.

“Conversion-led Movements: Convergences and Divergences between Brazilian Pentecostalism and Israeli Judaism.”

By:

DAVID LEHMANN, Reader in Social Science Cambridge University

Monday, April 28, 2008 12:00PM – 1:30PM Bunche Hall, 6275

About the lecture: The concept of conversion-led movements is a convenient one to encompass a range of movements located in different religious traditions but which share common features: a growth dynamic based on conversion campaigns; a concomitant call to converts to rebuild their lives and to adopt a lifestyle in accordance with the prescriptions of the religious organization or movement; a dissident posture vis-à-vis a cultural elite; an opportunist approach to politics; and an appeal to the socially excluded. It encompasses Pentecostalism and also movements of ‘return’ seeking to bring secularized Jews and Muslims ‘back’ to strict observance of their faith. A secular age in which claims to religious affiliation are acceptable on the basis of belief independently of birth or heritage, has opened up a vast space for these movements, which are now having substantial influence on the major religious traditions. The lecture will explore these claims on the basis of a comparison principally between Brazilian Pentecostalism and the Israeli movement and party of Sephardi revival, Shas.

About David Lehmann: David Lehmann is Reader in Social Science at Cambridge University. He has published extensively on development and religion in Latin America, notably in Chile, Ecuador and Brazil, on themes ranging from land reform and peasant economies to Catholicism and Pentecostalism. He has also written on charismatic and fundamentalist movements generally. In 2000 he began to work on religious revival among Israel’s Sephardi population, leading to a book written with Batia Siebzehner: Remaking Israeli Judaism: the challenge of Shas, (New York, Oxford University Press, 2006). He is currently working on a project tracing the diffusion of multicultural ideas in Latin America. www.davidlehmann.org.
