SUMMARY:Elemental Readings I: Air
DESCRIPTION:A Luskin Endowment for Thought Leadership Conference\, co-sponsored by the Departments of Classics and English\, UCLA. May 19th – 20th\, 2023. \nOrganizers: Louise Hornby (English) & Alex Purves (Classics) \nKeynote Speaker: John Durham Peters\, María Rosa Menocal Professor of English and of Film & Media Studies\, Yale University. \n\nConfirmed Speakers/Participants \n\nShane Butler\, Johns Hopkins University\nElizabeth DeLoughrey\, UCLA\nKatharine Earnshaw\, University of Exeter\nLouise Hornby\, UCLA\nHsuan Hsu\, UC Davis\nEleanor Kaufman\, UCLA\nKarla Nielson\, Huntington Library\nJohn Durham Peters\, Yale University\nJustine Pizzo\, University of Southampton\nVerity Platt\, Cornell University\nJames Porter\, UC Berkeley\nAlex Purves\, UCLA\nMario Telò\, UC Berkeley\nBen Tran\, Vanderbilt University\nVictoria Wohl\, University of Toronto\nDora Zhang\, UC Berkeley\nRecent work across a range of fields in the humanities and arts\, as well as in environmental\, media and digital studies\, has paid increasing attention to the role of the elements in shaping our experience and understanding of the world. This conference brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines who are seeking to redefine the role of air\, atmosphere\, and the weather in traditionally non-scientific media (predominantly poetry\, writing\, music\, photography\, and film). The topic invites discussion of the mutability of weather as an invisible ontology (and marker of climate change) as well as discussions of atmosphere (whose porous and unfinished nature embraces a broad range of entities\, from modes of knowing and feeling\, to the stuff we breathe\, to outer space). In each of these cases\, air’s mediating possibilities across fields\, materials\, and periods are especially rich for collaboration and the exchange of ideas. \nOur conference seeks fruitful points of contact between two colleagues in English and Classics at UCLA\, who both work on air and the elements\, joining with scholars from media studies\, art history and environmental humanities\, for a multifaceted discussion of a common object. \nMore information on the conference will appear shortly\, including links to register. The conference will be on site only. Please send any enquiries to purves@g.ucla.edu \nProvisional Schedule (not final) \nFriday\, May 19th \n12:00-1:00 Lunch \n1:20 Opening Remarks \nLouise Hornby & Alex Purves \n1:30-3:30 Panel 1: Sentient Air \nHsuan Hsu\, “Smellscape as Distributed Memory” \nVictoria Wohl\, “Intelligent Air” \nResponse: Dora Zhang \n3:30 Coffee Break \n4-5:30 Keynote \nJohn Durham Peters\, “On Sensing and not Sensing the Air and the Weather” \n6pm Dinner \nSaturday\, May 20th \n8:00 am Breakfast \n8:30-10:45 Panel 2: Meteorologies \nVerity Platt\, “Air in Unexpected Places: Foam\, Breath\, and Philostratus’ Truth in Painting” \nKatharine Earnshaw\, “Thought Bubbles and Feeling Blue (or\, Micromeditations on affective Chromacities)” \nJustine Pizzo\, “Character Studies and the Changing Climate of Victorian Realist Fiction” \nResponse: Karla Nielson \n10:45 Coffee break \n11-12.45 Panel 3: Violence in the Air \nBen Tran\, “Unburied Sound and the Atmosphere” \nMario Telò\, “Achrony and Aeropolitics in Aulis” \nResponse: Liz DeLoughrey \n1-2 Lunch \n2- 4:15 Panel 4: Ambience \nShane Butler\, “Ovidian Atmospheres” \nEleanor Kaufman\, “Mudimbe’s Air in French Philosophy” \nResponse: Jim Porter \n4:30-5 Closing Remarks \nLouise Hornby & Alex Purves \n6pm dinner

SUMMARY:Community Archaeology and Conservation in Sudan: The Community Heritage Center at El-Kurru
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis \nRegister for the Talk \nCommunity engagement is now essential to ethical field practice in archaeology and conservation. Although it represents a significant change from traditional fieldwork\, working more closely with host communities leads to significantly better and more sustainable outcomes. This talk will discuss our collaborative efforts to build and operate a Community Heritage Center at El-Kurru\, a thriving village that is also the site of a royal pyramid cemetery of kings and queens of ancient Kush (ca. 850-350 BCE). In developing exhibits and programs for the center\, conservation and site protection have remained priorities both for the international team and for the local community. \nBiographies \nGeoff Emberling is Associate Research Scientist at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, University of Michigan and has been co-director of the International Kurru Archaeological Project since 2014. He has also held positions as curator and museum director. \n  \n  \n  \nSuzanne Davis is Curator of Conservation at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, University of Michigan and current president of the American Institute for Conservation. She is the director of conservation for the Kelsey’s field projects in Sudan and also on projects in Egypt and Turkey. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mark of Contradictions: The Creation of Judah’s History and the Case of Samson | Mahri Leonard-Fleckman
DESCRIPTION:In biblical texts\, we find preserved the “mark of contradictions\, fragmentations\, and adjunctions\,” as intellectual historian Michel de Certeau once wrote (The Writing of History 1988: 313). This talk will explore the mark of contradictions in what may seem a peripheral set of texts within the broader biblical narrative\, the Samson stories of Judges 13-16. Buried in the book of Judges\, these quirky stories have consistently baffled scholars: where do they come from\, why were they preserved\, and what role do they serve? In the talk\, Mahri Leonard-Fleckman will trace shifting portrayals of Samson through different biblical witnesses and rewritings through the first century C.E. to demonstrate how Samson preserves an important mark of contradictions as he is drawn into the fabric of Judah’s history. In doing so\, her broader aim is to probe the relationship between fluidity and fixity in scribal production\, history writing\, and tradition itself. Moderated by William Schniedewind (UCLA). \nRSVP here \n  \nMahri Leonard-Fleckman is an assistant professor of Hebrew Bible in the Religious Studies Department at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester\, MA. She specializes in Iron Age history and the composition history of the Hebrew Bible\, and is the author of The House of David: Between Political Formation and Literary Revision (Fortress Press\, 2016) and co-author of The Book of Ruth in the Wisdom Commentary Series (Liturgical Press\, 2017). Her current book project\, provisionally titled Scribal Representations and Social Landscapes of the Iron Age Shephelah\, focuses on scribal representations of the “Other” in ancient Israel in relation to broader questions of identity in the Iron Age Levant\, and is under contract with Oxford University Press. Leonard-Fleckman has published numerous scholarly and public-facing books and articles\, is currently the Catholic Biblical Quarterly Book Review Editor for the Old Testament and Qumran\, and is active on numerous other editorial boards and professional committees. \n  \n  \nThe event is co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion\, the Department of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures\, and lead sponsor UCLA Alan D Leve Center for Jewish Studies as part of their Bible and the Ancient Near East series.

SUMMARY:Workshop and Panel with Professor Maximiliaan Martens
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Art History presents an exciting workshop entitled “Does technology alter our conception of conservation ethics?” led by Professor Maximiliaan Martens. \nIn a paper published in 2015 (https://doi.org/10.4000/ceroart.4765)\, Maximiliaan Martens argued that ethics in conservation of works of art ought to be considered as evolving rather than static. The availability of new technology allows for reconsidering established practice. The workshop will address the important issue of how technologies challenge our notions of professional ethics in conservation. \nThe panel will include interventions by Thiago Puglieri\, Meredith Cohen\, and Rachel Weiss. \nModerators include Gregory Harwell and Bronwen Wilson. We thank them as well as Professor Martens for sharing their expertise in this subject matter. \nThe presentation will take place on Monday\, May 8 from 2-4 PM in Dodd Hall 146\, with a light reception to follow.

SUMMARY:Lost Books: The Forgetfulness of Writing and the Forgetting of Jewish Pasts Lost Books: The Forgetfulness of Writing and the Forgetting of Jewish Pasts | Annette Yoshiko Reed
DESCRIPTION:It is often noted how the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls transformed our understanding of ancient Judaism\, radically expanding our evidence for Jews and Judaism prior to the rise of Christianity. Yet this material also stands as a striking reminder of how much of the literary heritage of Jewish antiquity has been lost to us. How and why was this material lost to the Jewish tradition\, and what might its forgetting tell us about Jewish memory-making\, past and present? This lecture explores these questions with a focus on lost books\, real and imagined\, and the shifting meanings of writing within Jewish cultural history. \nRSVP here \n  \nAnnette Yoshiko Reed is Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School. \n\nShe studies ancient Jews and Christians\, with a focus on questions of knowledge\, identity\, and difference. \nHer recent books include Jewish-Christianity and the History of Judaism and Christianity​ (2018 and Demons\, Angels\, and Writing in Ancient Judaism (2020). She is currently working on a book on the cultural power of forgetting\, focusing on the Jewish reception of the Second Temple past. \nThursday\, May 4\, 2023 • 314 Royce Hall • 4 PM \nAnnette Yoshiko Reed (Harvard University)\nModerator: Sarah Abrevaya Stein (UCLA)\nLost Books: The Forgetfulness of Writing and the Forgetting of Jewish Pasts\nEtta and Milton Leve Scholar-in-Residence \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion and lead sponsor UCLA Alan D Leve Center for Jewish Studies’ Etta and Milton Leve Scholar in Residence.

SUMMARY:Ancient Judaism between Christian Memory and Jewish Forgetting | Annette Yoshiko Reed

SUMMARY:Pigments in Ancient Greek Painting & Medicine: Ecology\, Materiality and the Alchemical Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:  \nPigments in Ancient Greek Painting & Medicine: \nEcology\, Materiality and the Alchemical Laboratory\nlecture by\nIoanna Kakoulli\n(Department of Materials Science and Engineering\, UCLA) \nSaturday\, April 29\, 2023\n3:00 p.m.\n306 Royce Hall\nReception to follow \nAncient Greek paintings between the fourth century BC and the third century AD are characterized by a splendor of colors\, high artistic quality and rich pictorial effects such as shading\, translucency and transparency\, innovations that characterize and mark the art of Greek and later Roman painting traditions. Through the scientific analysis of surviving paintings—mainly wall paintings—this lecture explores the material ecology and intrinsic optical\, chemical and microstructural properties of pigments in Late Classical and Hellenistic painting. It further interrogates how these properties contributed to the paintings’ qualities\, aesthetics and function and their technological association with ancient makeup and therapeutic substances\, philosophy and early al(chemical) practices. Data is presented in the context of seminal texts of ancient writers such as Dioscorides\, Theophrastus\, Vitruvius and Pliny the Elder describing the chemical arts of color\, cosmetics and medicaments\, and alchemical recipes from two third-century AD Greek papyri\, which provide the earliest surviving direct evidence on ancient alchemical practices for the synthesis of colored compounds. \nIoanna Kakoulli\, who will serve as Acting Director of the UCLA SNF Hellenic Center in 2023-2024\, is a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering with a joint appointment in the Archaeology Interdepartmental Degree Program and the UCLA/Getty Conservation Program\, in which she served as the inaugural ‘Lore and Gerald Cunard’ Program Term Chair from 2011 to 2017. Since 2018\, Professor Kakoulli has also held the honorary adjunct professor title at the University of Cyprus. Dr. Kakoulli has a M.A. from the Courtauld Institute of Art of the University of London and a Ph.D. in Archaeological Science from the University of Oxford. \nThis event is free\, but please RSVP in advance:https://forms.gle/arJpagpdcrTHEamm9 \nParking Information\nTo be provided \nThe event is supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nImage caption: Detail of the Late Classical painted marble throne found in a Royal tomb in Vergina\, Greece attributed to Eurydice Sirra\, Macedonian queen and grandmother of Alexander the Great. The painted decoration of the throne shows the extensive use of a mercury-based pigment known as cinnabar; an important component in alchemy and perhaps the most celebrated pigment in Classical antiquity.

SUMMARY:Maria Wyke | Feminizing Ancient Rome: Women at the Cinema from the 1900s to the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Audio / Visual Romans I\nThursday April 20th 2023\n\nAnnual UCLA Joan Palevsky Lecture\nProfessor Maria Wyke\, University College London\n“Feminizing Ancient Rome: Women at the Cinema from the 1900s to the 1920s“\n\nThe medium of the moving image started out as part of variety programmes and women often appeared in it advertising to men the pleasures of the new technology. However cinema soon began to give greater agency to women including in its reconstructions of the Roman world. Storylines gave women larger roles than those in the primary sources. Visual perspective\, words and accompanying music worked to colour women’s stories in empathetic terms\, from empresses to slaves. This lecture will explore some of those strategies for feminising Roman history and some of the reasons why they were developed. \n\n\nAudio / Visual Romans II\nFriday April 21st 2023\n\nFilm Screening with Live Accompaniment and Original Score by Michele Sganga\nCajus Julius Caesar\, 1914.

SUMMARY:Elitzur Bar-Asher Siegal | How Many Grammars Does Jewish Babylonian Aramaic Have?
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, we will explore how languages evolve through linguistic diversity\, aiming to shed light on the intricate relationship between language\, its evolution\, and its transmission through historical texts. Drawing on the principles of sociolinguistics\, we will examine how speakers and writers of a language navigate between competing grammars. We will also explore the intricate process of ancient text transmission through scribes and copyists who acted as language agents with their own competing grammars. \nFocusing on the Babylonian Talmud\, we will demonstrate the linguistic richness and challenges encountered in studying the dialect of Jewish Babylonian Aramaic. The lecture will highlight the methods and tools used by linguists to reconstruct the original grammars of the text\, as well as trace the grammar of copyists from the Middle Ages. By doing so\, we will show how classic philological questions can be answered using linguistic tools. \n  \nAbout the speaker \n\n\n\n\n\nElitzur Bar-Asher Siegal has a BA in Philosophy and Hebrew Language from Hebrew University (1999-2002\, summa cum laude) and PhD from Harvard University (2009). He joined the faculty of the department of Hebrew Language at Hebrew University in 2010 after being the lecturer in Semitics at Yale University (2008-2010). He is also a fellow at the Language\, Logic and Cognition Center at Hebrew University. Elitzur was a visiting professor at Harvard University (Spring 2012)\, the Jacob Perlow Visiting Professor\, Yale University (2017-8) and a short term visiting Professor\, École Pratique des Hautes Études\, Paris (2018-2019). This year he is a visiting professor at Yale University in Judaic Studies and in Linguistics.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo register for this event\, please visit\nhttps://nelc.ucla.edu/event/elitzur-bar-asher-siegal-how-many-grammars-does-jewish-babylonian-aramaic-have/.

SUMMARY:Pourdavoud Center Lecture Series with Ann Hunnell Chen: Dislodging Disciplinary Silos at Dura-Europos
DESCRIPTION:Founded by the Seleucids\, successively occupied by the Arsacids (Parthians) and Romans\, and spectacularly conquered in a Sasanian siege\, the borderland town of Dura-Europos (Syria) was home throughout its history to a fascinatingly diverse population. Since its initial excavation\, the site has become justly famous thanks to unique circumstances of preservation that resulted in the site’s retention of significant organic materials and other traces of daily life long-vanished elsewhere. Together\, the multiethnicity and significance of the site’s finds make it a rare (and invaluable) archaeological resource that transcends modern disciplinary boundaries. And yet\, the site and its important archaeological resources have been too often considered the purview of ‘Western’ disciplines\, despite the fact that the site’s Arsacid occupation was indeed its longest phase. This talk will first explore how the original excavators’ choices with regard to data-processing and publication strategies have had an enduring impact on who mobilizes Durene data and to what intellectual ends. It will then turn to introduce the efforts of the International (Digital) Dura-Europos Archive (IDEA)\, a project recently funded by the NEH and designed to help cut across the disciplinary silos that still very much shape research on the site. \nAbout the Speaker\nAnne Hunnell Chen is an Assistant Professor in the Art History and Visual Culture and Experimental Humanities Programs at Bard College. She specializes in the art and archaeology of the globally-connected Sasanian and Roman worlds. She has held a fellowship in the Department of the Ancient Near East at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and a postdoctoral associateship in Yale University’s ARCHAIA program for the Study of Premodern Cultures and Societies. She has published on Roman\, Persian\, and Digital Humanities topics\, and is also the founder and co-director of the International (Digital) Dura-Europos Archive (IDEA). Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, IDEA is aimed at dislodging enduring impacts of colonialism through digital reassembly and recontextualization of legacy archaeological data from the site of Dura-Europos (Syria). Dr. Chen also serves as network co-chair and Annotations Activity co-coordinator for the international Pelagios Network. \nThe Zoom webinar link for those wishing to watch the live stream is: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/94721468611
