SUMMARY:The Forgotten Canopy: Ecology, Ephemeral Architecture, and Imperialism in the Caribbean, South American, and Transatlantic Worlds Conference 3: Imperialism
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nConference 3: Imperialism\n\n\nApril 14–15, 2023\nCritical consideration of the interrelationships between ecologies and ephemeral architectures sets the stage for the theme of the third conference “Imperialism” (April 14-15, 2023) which will address the imperial transformations of the Caribbean and South America and their impact on and entanglement with the larger early modern Atlantic world. Participating scholars in this conference will use studies of ephemeral architecture, especially thatched roofs, to focus attention on processes of imperialism and landscape transformation relating to Indigenous and Black Americans.  In particular, this conference will highlight the complex ways in which Imperial authorities impacted, transformed, and were transformed by, long standing ecological practices and ephemeral architectural knowledge. In doing so, the conference underscores the vital role of ephemeral architecture, such as thatched roofs, in telling histories, even that of global empires, and thus is a reminder of the critical need for the study and preservation of this “Forgotten Canopy.”\nSpeakers:\nDaniela Balanzátegui Moreno, University of Massachusetts Boston, “Black Landscapes of Fugitivity in the Northern Andes of Ecuador”\nMaria Paz Gutierrez, University of California, Berkeley, “Fantasy Island: The Other Amazon”\nJayur Madhusudan Mehta, Florida State University, “Indigenous Monumental Architecture of the Mississippi River Delta: Villages, Biodiversity, and Resilience”\nEverett Osceola, Cultural Ambassador for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, interviewed by Shannon Speed, University of California, Los Angeles, “The Culture and History of Seminole Traditional Housing with a Focus on the Chickee”\nAlice Samson, University of Leicester, “Casas de paja/straw houses: Ephemerality and Permanence in the Indigenous Caribbean”\nJosé Antonio Sierra-Huelsz, Universidad de Guadalajara, “Linking Tourism, Thatched Architecture, and Tropical Forest Management”\nLorena Tezanos Toral, Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE), “The Bohío in Nineteenth-Century Cuban Sugar Mills: Creole Power and African Resistance in Late Colonial Cuba”\nDell Upton, University of California, Los Angeles, “What is Impermanence?”\nCheryl White, Anton de Kom University of Suriname, “How the African Diasporic Reimagined the Amazonian Built Environment in the 17th- 19th Century”\nModerators:\nSusanna Hecht, University of California, Los Angeles\nAyala Levin, University of California, Los Angeles\nFaiza Moatasim, University of Southern California\n\n\n\n\n
