SUMMARY:Research Focus Group TALK: The Chinese Typewriter: A History
DESCRIPTION:Chinese writing is character-based\, the one major world script that is neither alphabetic nor syllabic. Over the past two centuries\, Chinese script has encountered presumed alphabetic universalism at every turn\, whether in the form of Morse Code\, Braille\, stenography\, Linotype\, punch cards\, word processing\, or other systems developed with the Latin alphabet in mind. Today\, however\, after more than a century of resistance against the alphabetic\, not only have Chinese characters prevailed\, they form the linguistic substrate of the vibrant world of Chinese information technology. In this talk\, Stanford historian Tom Mullaney shows how this unlikely transformation happened\, by charting out a fascinating series of experiments\, prototypes\, failures\, and successes in the century-long struggle between Chinese characters and the QWERTY keyboard. \nThomas S. Mullaney is Associate Professor of Chinese History at Stanford University\, and Curator of the international exhibition\, “Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age.” His most recent book\, published with MIT Press in 2017\, is The Chinese Typewriter: A History. \nSponsored by the Dept. of History\, the East Asia Center\, and the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The Highway\, Automobility\, and New Promises in 1960s Bombay Cinema
DESCRIPTION:A fascination for color in the 1960s led to Bombay cinema’s mobilization of the hinterland as the site for a new future. With the development of Indian highways and an increase in automobility\, a new map of India now occupied the cinematic imagination. This talk will explore the links between the infrastructure of automobile culture\, the highway\, industrial development outside the city\, and 1960s Bombay Cinema. \nRanjani Mazumdar is Professor of Cinema Studies at the School of Arts and Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Her publications focus on urban cultures\, popular cinema\, gender\, and the cinematic city. She is the author of Bombay Cinema: An Archive of the City (2007) and co-author with Nitin Govil of The Indian Film Industry (forthcoming). Her current research focuses on globalization and film culture\, the visual culture of film posters\, and the intersection of technology\, travel\, design\, and color in 1960s Bombay Cinema. \nSponsored by the Dept. of Film and Media Studies and the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures RFG.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Buddhism and Sexuality: A Primer
DESCRIPTION:Although an ascetic religion that touts celibacy as the norm (at least for the clergy)\, Buddhism has a lot to say about sexuality. José Cabezón’s talk will focus on ancient South Asian sources and will present an overview of what classical Buddhist authors have had to say about sex. Based on his recently published book\, Sexuality in Classical South Asian Buddhism (Wisdom Publications\, 2017)\, the talk will explore the themes of sexuality in Buddhist cosmological writings\, the Buddhist theory of sexual desire\, the interventions that monks and nuns have used to counteract desire\, Buddhist ideas of sexual deviance\, and Buddhist sexual ethics. \nJosé Cabezón is Professor of Religious Studies and the XIVth Dalai Lama Professor of Tibetan Buddhism and Cultural Studies at UCSB. His wide-ranging research interests in various aspects of Tibetan religious traditions and religious studies include Madhyamaka philosophy\, gender and sexuality\, classical South Asian political ethics\, and Tibetan rituals.

SUMMARY:RESEARCH FOCUS GROUP TALK: BEYOND BOKO HARAM: WRITING THE HISTORY OF BORNO
DESCRIPTION:  \nHiribarren addresses the issue of presentism in historical writing in an African context. The region of Borno in Nigeria is well known for being the cradle of Boko Haram and many analysts have tried to understand the reasons behind the numerous terrorist attacks since 2009\, the kidnapping of the Chibok girls in 2014\, or the renewed jihad in West Africa. Writing the history of the northeastern corner of Nigeria remains difficult because of the security situation – of course – but also because of the pressure exerted by the current events on academic writing. Can we write the history of Borno beyond Boko Haram?’ \nVincent Hiribarren is a Senior Lecturer in Modern African History at King’s College London and Co-founder of Africa4\, a Libération blog. He received his MA from Sorbonne University and his PhD from University of Leeds. Dr. Hiribarren trained as a History and Geography teacher and taught in France\, China\, Guinea and England. From 2008 to 2012\, he undertook a PhD on the history of Borno\, Nigeria at the University of Leeds. His thesis was titled: “From a kingdom to a Nigerian state: the territory and boundaries of Borno 1810-2010”. From January to June 2013\, he was a Leverhulme teaching fellow at the University of Leeds and joined the History Department at King’s College London in September 2013.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: One and Indivisible? Slavery\, Federalism and Secessionism in the French-Haitian Revolution
DESCRIPTION:“The Republic is one and indivisible”: this principle was the founding dogma of the regime that emerged during the French Revolution. The Republic\, however\, still “owned” colonies and the plantation societies in the French West Indies could not be more at odds with the principle of universal equality. Was the regeneration effected by the Revolution compatible with the maintenance of a colonial empire? This paper will explore the heated colonial debates on French federalism\, secessionism\, and slavery in the age of Atlantic revolutions. \nProfessor Covo is a historian of the transition from early modern to modern European colonialism in the long eighteenth century. He specializes in French imperialism\, political economy and Atlantic revolutions\, with a special focus on the impact of the Haitian Revolution on France and the United States. \nSponsored by IHC’s Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom RFG.
