SUMMARY:Giancarlo Casale\, "What did it mean to be European in the Sixteenth Century? A View from the Ottoman Empire"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of History presents: Muslim Mediterranean/Middle Eastern World Search Job Talk. \nGiancarlo Casale is a specialist in the history of the early modern Ottoman empire\, although he also has interests in the history of geography and cartography\, global exploration\, and comparative empires. He has just completed my first book\, “The Ottoman Age of Exploration\,” about the history of Ottoman expansion in the Indian Ocean during the sixteenth century. The book was based on extensive research in the archives of both Turkey and Portugal\, and explored the ways in which the growth of the Ottoman Empire was part of the same historical process that witnessed the expansion of numerous other imperial powers\, ranging from the overseas empires of Spain and Portugal to rival Islamic states like Mughal India and Safavid Iran. His next major project\, tentatively titled “Curiosity and Intolerance: The Paradox of Early Modernity\,” is a comparative study of the development of ethnographic modes of writing in early modern Europe and the Ottoman Empire. At the same time he is also engaged in several smaller research projects on topics including corsairs and the development of Ottoman naval technology\, the connection between naval power and deforestation in the Mediterranean region\, and a geo-historical study of the earthquake of Dubrovnik in 1667.

SUMMARY:Karen Sánchez-Eppler: "In the Archives of Childhood"
DESCRIPTION:Karen Sánchez-Eppler is Professor of American Studies and English at Amherst College. She is the author of Touching Liberty: Abolition\, Feminism\, and the Politics of the Body (California\, 1993) and Dependent States: The Child’s Part in Nineteenth-Century American Culture (Chicago\, 2005)\, and a founding co-editor of The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth. She is spending this year as a fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center where she is completing a project on manuscript books entitled The Unpublished Republic: Manuscript Culture of the Mid-Nineteenth-Century United States\, and beginning a new one\, In the Archives of Childhood\, which probes the relations between our different ways of holding the past. Her talk at Santa Cruz draws from the introduction to this new project\, examining the intersection of archival practice and childhood studies in an effort to illuminate the attractions and limitations of both. \n“Archive Fever” as Jacques Derrida describes it\, epitomizes the infectious desire to locate and possess origins. For scholarship in the humanities the “archival turn” proves to have much in common with the study of childhood. Both have been there all along: the repositories of our cultural and personal pasts. In many ways\, for each of us\, childhood is the archive\, a treasure-box of the formative and the forgotten. Yet until the last few decades both our archives and our childhoods have remained largely under-theorized sites of origin. My talk will examine the intersection of archival practice and childhood studies in an effort to illuminate the attractions and limitations of both. Childhood manuscripts and documents demonstrate the potential of archival work for gaining access to children’s voices\, experiences\, and everyday life. Looking beyond this utility\, I hope to suggest how an attention to childhood may help rethink the nature of archival records\, organization\, and purpose itself. The traces of childhood found in archives tend toward the ephemeral—the scrap and the scribble far more likely than the tome—and thus puts pressure on the claims and nature of preservation and valuation. What constitutes the trivial as trivial? If childhood is ephemeral by nature—a stage to be outgrown—then what can it teach us about the archival tasks of keeping and cataloging? Age is not generally a classificatory category for archival holdings\, a fact that exemplifies the expressions of power at stake in the way knowledge is organized. Children tend to appear in archives in two ways\, on the fringes of collections of individual or family papers\, a residue of domestic life that accompanies the valuable work of adults\, for whose prominence these materials have been saved; and in the records of those institutions charged with the protection\, punishment\, and education of the young. Thus to think about childhood in the archives is to think about the tensions and collaborations between individual and institutional frames\, affection and control\, fame and loss. This will be a speculative discussion\, but one that theorizes from particular childhood stuff.

SUMMARY:Peter Blickle: “New Developments in the Discourse of Heimat”
DESCRIPTION:Today\, just as during any other period since the end of the eighteenth century\, the idea of Heimat (home\, homeland) is a central part of German-speaking people’s attempts to make sense of the world they live in. The regressive aspects of the idea are troubling. Any concrete interaction with the idea of Heimat in the political realm has\, historically speaking\, served sooner or later to further exclusions. And all too often the idea of Heimat has assisted in more than mere exclusions. \nStarting with definitions from his book Heimat: A Critical Theory of the German Idea of Homeland (2002)\, Professor Blickle look at examples of such excluding uses of the traditional idea of Heimat. He then goes on to investigate more recent uses. They show the idea of Heimat in a new light – at home in the margins and including the Other rather than excluding it. \nOver the past decade and a half fundamental shifts have occurred in the uses of Heimat. For many\, Heimat has become mobile and unpredictable. Heimat surprises. And the fundamental feminization of the traditional Heimat has given way to more open\, more ambiguous\, more searching\, and sometimes even more playful interactions with the world. \nPeter Blickle received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1995. He is the author of two scholarly books\, one in English\, Heimat: A Critical Theory of the German Idea of Homeland (Camden House 2002)\, and one in German\, Maria Beig und die Kunst der scheinbaren Kunstlosigkeit (Maria Beig and the Art of Appearing Primitive\, Edition Isele 1997). His book on Heimat (home\, homeland) has established itself as one of the standard works on this German concept. He is also the author of a novel\, Blaulicht im Nebel (Ambulance in Fog\, Edition Isele 2002)\, and he translated Rosina Lippi’s novel Homestead into German (Im Schatten der Drei Schwestern\, Rowohlt/Wunderlich 2002). Together with Jaimy Gordon\, he translated Maria Beig’s novel Lost Weddings into English (Persea Books 1990). For his creative works in German\, he received the Irseer Pegasus Award (2004)\, the Robert L. Kahn Poetry Award (2007)\, and the Geertje Potash Prose Prize (2009). He is professor of German at Western Michigan University.
