SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Roman-Persian Relations: The Emperor Jovian and the Syriac "Julian Romance"
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThe Roman emperor Jovian (363-364) only ruled for eight months and has not received much attention in scholarship. However\, he is more than a footnote in history. After the reign of Julian\, he returned to the policies of Constantius II and Constantine the Great. His peace agreement with the Sassanid king Shapur II also had great impact for Roman-Persian relations. \nThe first part of this presentation evaluates the peace agreement\, the responses to it\, and its long-term influence on the relationship between the Roman and Persian empire. Jovian had an unexpected afterlife in the so-called “Julian Romance\,” a rarely studied text of Christian historical fiction. This Christian narrative presents Jovian as an ideal Christian emperor and a new Constantine. It offers also surprising perspectives on Roman-Persian relations\, which will be discussed in the second part of the presentation. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group\, California Consortium for Late Antiquity\, and Department of History

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Brutal Beauty: Aesthetics and Aspiration in Urban India
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerJisha Menon will discuss her recent book\, Brutal Beauty: Aesthetics and Aspiration in Urban India. Brutal Beauty conveys the affective life of the city through multiple aesthetic projects that express a range of urban feelings\, including aspiration\, panic\, and obsolescence. As developers and policymakers remodel the city through tumultuous construction projects\, urban beautification\, privatization\, and other templated features of “world‑class cities\,” urban citizens are also changing. Sketching out scenes of urban aspiration and its dark underbelly\, the book delineates the creative and destructive potential of India’s lurch into contemporary capitalism\, exploring art’s capacity to absorb and critique liberalization’s discontents. Menon argues that neoliberalism isn’t just an economic\, social\, and political phenomenon\, it is also an aesthetic project. \nJisha Menon is Professor of Theater and Performance Studies\, and (by courtesy) of Comparative Literature at Stanford University. She is the author of Brutal Beauty: Aesthetics and Aspiration in Urban India (Northwestern UP\, 2021) and The Performance of Nationalism: India\, Pakistan and the Memory of Partition (Cambridge UP\, 2013) and coeditor of Violence Performed: Local Roots and Global Routes of Conflict (with Patrick Anderson) (Palgrave-Macmillan Press\, 2009) and Performing the Secular: Religion\, Representation\, and Politics (with Milija Gluhovic) (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2017.) \nSponsored by the IHC’s Performing Race\, Performing Space Research Focus Group and the Department of Theater and Dance

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Meeting: Defiant Worship: How Conservative Christian Legal Organizations are Changing Legal Culture
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerIn this RFG meeting\, Moore will discuss her new paper that offers a critical analysis of religious freedom discourse engendered by the coronavirus pandemic. Restrictions on indoor religious gatherings during the first nine months of the pandemic were challenged in courts\, and their constitutionality was addressed by the Supreme Court over the summer of 2020. This historic period—with lockdowns\, testing\, contact tracing\, and vaccines\, not to mention its prohibition on public gatherings—provide a unique opportunity to assess religious liberty claims during a nationwide public health emergency. The paper’s focus is on public discourses related to what we can describe as “defiant worship\,” or actions taken by pastors and congregations that violated state mandates about indoor religious gatherings. This paper contributes to the secondary literature that deconstructs assumed binaries between secular and religious\, legal and lay\, and public and private spheres\, and examines key actors that approach constitutional law from their religious commitments\, such as Conservative Christian Legal Organizations (CCLOs). \nKathleen M. Moore is Professor of Religious Studies and Associate Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts at UCSB. This research is part of a larger book project on religious liberty arguments in the American conservative Christian legal movement\, tentatively entitled “When the Religious Turn Litigious.” \nSponsored by the IHC’s Legal Humanities Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Voices of Ancient Palmyra: Reflections
DESCRIPTION:Download Flyer“Voices of Ancient Palmyra” began as an online public humanities project that explored how different publics engaged with ancient history and the destruction of ancient objects. The original goal was to encourage people of all ages and education levels to artistically rewrite words from ancient Palmyrene inscriptions\, while learning about the history of the site. Artistic recreations were then uploaded to the website and social media. The project became a museum exhibition at the Fullerton Museum of Art at CSU San Bernardino\, for which local artists created pieces that engaged with and reacted to ancient inscriptions. The project had three different phases or iterations: the digital exhibition\, the physical art exhibition\, and the immersive experience. Each phase had unique complications that arose in the process of bringing various publics\, the museum\, and the academy into conversation. In “Reflections” Maris explores the project’s original goals\, how they changed\, what worked\, and the lessons for future efforts. \nCarly Maris earned her PhD in Ancient History from UC Riverside in 2019. Her primary research explores Roman-Persian relations\, and she is currently writing an article on a coin honoring Mark Antony that was minted in Syria. Dr. Maris also works as a Public Historian\, and was recognized as a Mellon Public Fellow in 2016. In the summer of 2019\, Dr. Maris co-curated an exhibition at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art on ancient writings in Palmyra\, for which she won the Society for Classical Studies ‘Classics Everywhere’ award. She currently teaches history courses at UC Riverside and CSU San Bernardino. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:RESEARCH FOCUS GROUP TALK: BEYOND BOKO HARAM: WRITING THE HISTORY OF BORNO
DESCRIPTION:Download Flyer  \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.
