Lecture by Ida Altman. Ida is the author, co-author, or editor of numerous books and articles on early modern Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic world. Her most recent book is Life and Society in the EarlySpanish Caribbean: The Greater Antilles, 1493–1550. As Iberians in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries expanded into the Atlantic world they created conditions for a convergence of peoples and cultures in the Caribbean that would transform them and the region as a whole. The dimensions and complexities of that process can be identified at nearly all levels. Over time, as other European nations became active in the Caribbean, contraband or extra-legal trade and efforts to stake out territorial claims generated other forms of convergence. Some Europeans followed many of the precedents that the Spanish had introduced in the Caribbean, but in contrast to the controversy that arose over Spanish treatment of Indigenous peoples, the European nations that participated in the slave trade and used the labor of enslaved Africans in their colonies did so for decades without facing any serious protest or challenge. Perhaps the most notable point of convergence in the Caribbean in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was Europeans’ across-the-board commitment to the use of coerced labor in their overseas territories, whether they depended on encomienda labor, indentured servants, or enslaved workers.

San Yuan Li(7:30PM - 8:30PM) Hammer Museum
San Yuan Li, a collaborative project by Ou Ning, Cao Fei and U-thèque members, is a case study of the typical “village-amidst-the-city” phenomenon in the process of urbanization in Guangzhou. San Yuan Li uses San Yuan Li village as a sample to do research on the city of Canton. Armed with DV cameras, the crew penetrated San Yuan Li village as a kind of “city flâneurs," attempting to rethink the debt of history, the confrontation and reconciliation between the process of modernization and the patriarchal clan system and rural community system of Guangzhou, as well as the weird architectures and the humanscape emerging in this village-amidst-the city. All of the images shot are then weaved into a piece of black-and-white imagery poetry. 2003, dir. Cao Fei & Ou Ning, DCP, color, Chinese, 45 min. Ticketing: This free program is not ticketed.

After years of use and misuse, the technological materials we rely on to communicate become obsolete and are thrown away to rot. This program imagines the post-tech era in which these discarded materials take their own course, at times seeking revenge against their creators. Toxic and deadly mining of coltan used to power lithium batteries sets the scene in Neptune Frost. Core Dump — Dakar tracks the effects on humans scavenging and melting minerals for resale, and in A.I. Mama, recycled scraps of tech are assembled to revive forgotten dreams. These narratives surrounding postconsumer tech products shine a light on human efforts to create, control and destroy methods of communication. Notes by Nicole Ucedo Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Second Annual Spotlight Talk by Johanna Drucker, Distinguished Professor and Breslauer Professor Emerita, Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles Paul Landacre was a wood engraver and artist whose first published work, California Hills (1931), established his reputation within the Fine Press community of Los Angeles. The images in California Hills raise issues in relation to the longer traditions of representations of the “pristine” and “uninhabited” landscape, thus participating in an erasure of indigenous peoples that had been part of landscape painting. Clark Library collections include many useful materials for establishing the background for this erasure in documents from the 19th century onward in which the struggles for recognition, sovereignty, and identity are recorded. This talk presents an approach to reading Landacre’s archive in relation to this rich historical material. Location: William Andrews Clark Memorial Library
