SUMMARY:Pigments in Ancient Greek Painting & Medicine:  Ecology\, Materiality and the Alchemical Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Pigments 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. \nParking Information \nParking for Royce Hall is available in Parking Structure 5 located at: 340 Royce Drive\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095.  Parking Structure 5  is accessible from Royce Drive\, south of Sunset Boulevard\, and west of Hilgard Ave (in the northeast section of the campus). \nNo parking attendants will be on-site at the parking structure\, and Pay-By-Space/Visitor Parking is extremely limited in this lot\, so we highly encourage you to purchase a parking permit in advance (available after April 1\, 2023): \n\nTo save time\, you may purchase your parking permit for $15 in advance using Bruin ePermit: https://bruinepermit.t2hosted.com/pnw2/selectevent.aspx.

SUMMARY:“Memory\, Conflict and Democratization in Post-Junta Greece"\, lecture by Professor Kostis Kornetis (Autonomous University of Madrid)
DESCRIPTION:Date: April 11\, 2023\nTime: 4:00 PM\nLocation: Royce Hall 306 \nIntroductory remarks\, by The Honorable Ioannis Stamatekos\, Consul General of Greece in Los Angeles \nQ&A moderated by Simos Zenios\, Associate Director\, UCLA SNF Hellenic Center \nReception to follow \nIn this talk\, Professor Kostis Kornetis will examine how distinct political generations experienced and remember the transition from authoritarianism to democracy in Greece\, known as Metapolitefsi\, since 1974. Its central claim is that the 2008-2012 economic and social crisis triggered a radical re-evaluation of democratisation by turning the conflicting generational recollections of these events into pivotal components of current political contestation. To demonstrate this\, Dr. Kornetis tells the oral (hi)stories of transition and its legacy across time\, beyond institutional achievements and setbacks\, which was the standard trope of narrating this story until all too recently. The study draws on in-depth interviews and a close analysis of a selection of memoryscapes (texts\, images\, and music) of the 1970s to make sense of the different generational ways in which the past is being remembered and contested at present\, arguing that “small” and “private” histories matter. As such\, it introduces to the literature and public debate the crucial role of generational memory in shaping the political\, social and cultural developments of the entire post-authoritarian period in Greece and beyond. \nProfessor Kornetis teaches contemporary history at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM). He has taught at Brown University\, New York University\, and the University of Sheffield\, and was a CONEX-Marie Curie Experienced Fellow at Carlos III\, Madrid\, and Santander Fellow in Iberian Studies at St Antony’s College\, Oxford. He is the author of Children of the Dictatorship. Student Resistance\, Cultural Politics and the ‘long 1960s’ in Greece (Berghahn Books\, 2013 – recipient of the Edmund Keeley book award of the MGSA) and co-editor of Metapolitefsi (Themelio\, 2015)\, Consumption and Gender in Southern Europe since the “Long 1960s” (Bloomsbury\, 2016) and Rethinking Democratisation in Spain\, Greece and Portugal (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2019). His second book on the generational memory of the transitions to democracy in Southern Europe is forthcoming with Oxford University Press. \nIn case you missed the lecture\, the recording is available below: \n \n  \nParking Information: \nParking for Royce Hall is available in Parking Structure 5 located at: 340 Royce Drive\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095.  Parking Structure 5  is accessible from Royce Drive\, south of Sunset Boulevard\, and west of Hilgard Ave (in the northeast section of the campus). \nNo parking attendants will be on-site at the parking structure\, and Pay-By-Space/Visitor Parking is extremely limited in this lot\, so we highly encourage you to purchase a parking permit in advance: \n\nTo save time\, you may purchase your parking permit for $15 in advance using Bruin ePermit: https://bruinepermit.t2hosted.com/pnw2/selectevent.aspx.
