Tokugawa Ieyasu as Warlord, Shogun, Deity: Thoughts on Biography, Material Culture, and Japan’s Long Sixteenth Century Dr. Morgan Pitelka, Associate Professor of East Asian Studies Morgan Pitelka, a historian of late medieval and early modern Japan, will discuss his current research on Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616), the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate and an iconic figure in Japanese history. He will explain how material culture— in this case swords, art, and falcons— helps to complicate the top-down, hagiographic tendencies of biography. He will also address how this project fits into a planned series of studies on Japan’s long sixteenth century, which began with his previous book Handmade Culture (2005) and will continue in his next project, a study of daily life in the late medieval castle town of Ichijödani in old Echizen (today’s Fukui Prefecture).

May 2, 2008 “The Sex of Children: Family, Nature, and Culture in Early Modern Thought” Marta Vicente, University of Kansas LOCATION: Huntington Library, Overseers' Room, 1:00-3:00 Professor Vicente works on women’s history in eighteenth-century Spain and teaches on topics ranging from european women’s history from 1600's to the present, feminist theory and women and work, and women and sexuality in the early modern world. Her book, entitled “Clothing the Spanish Empire: Families and the Calico Trade in the Atlantic World, 1700-1815" (Palgrave 2006), looks at how clothing the Spanish Empire narrates the lives of families on both sides of the Atlantic who profited from the craze for calicoes, and in doing so helped the Spanish empire to flourish in the eighteenth century. Other research projects include the history of the relations between notions of women and work in the Spanish Enlightenment and the actual experience of ordinary women. These projects look at a variety of archival documentation from court suits to business letters that reveal how women constructed their public identity and whether such construction had any relation to the political, intellectual and cultural changes that Spanish society witnessed at the end of the eighteenth century.
