SUMMARY:The Forgotten Canopy: Ecology\, Ephemeral Architecture\, and Imperi
 alism in the Caribbean\, South American\, and Transatlantic Worlds Confere
 nce 1: Ecology [Day 1]
DESCRIPTION:–conference organized by Stella Nair (University of Californi
 a\, Los Angeles) and Paul Niell (Florida State University)\n\nThis project
  is made possible through support from the Terra Foundation for American A
 rt\, and is co-sponsored by the UCLA American Indian Studies Center and UC
 LA Latin American Institute.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis conference is free of
  charge. It will be held in person and livestreamed on the Center’s YouT
 ube Channel. To attend the conference in person\, you must reserve your sp
 ace by submitting the booking form at the bottom of this page. Bookings cl
 ose on Monday\, October 31\, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. No registration is needed t
 o watch the livestream.\n\n\n\nAll in-person attendees must adhere to the 
 UCLA COVID-19 Protocol for Organized Events. This protocol will be in effe
 ct until further notice and adjusted as needed to respond to evolving publ
 ic health conditions.\n\nFace masks: It is strongly recommended that all 
 attendees at indoor campus events wear a highly protective mask (i.e. surg
 ical\, N95\, KN95\, or KP94).\n\nRequirements for event entry: All  atte
 ndees must present  proof  of  COVID-19  vaccination  or proof  of 
  negative  COVID-19 test per Los Angeles County Department of Public Heal
 th guidelines.\n\n\n\nThe 2022–23 Core Program hosted by the UCLA Center
  for 17th- &amp\; 18th-Century Studies and William Andrews Clark Memorial 
 Library will convene scholars around the topics of “Ecology\,” “Ephe
 meral Architecture\,” and “Imperialism” in the early modern (16th–
 19th-century) world. The circum-Caribbean is our starting point\; specific
 ally\, we use this term to refer to the deep connections between the peopl
 es and places of the Caribbean and South America\, along with parts of Nor
 th America. Due to national politics\, language barriers\, and scholarly d
 ivisions that have their roots in the European colonization of the America
 s\, the long and complex history of exchange among these regions and peopl
 es have been greatly understudied. In truth\, this history of entanglement
  across water and land stretches back millennia\, resulting in a rich and 
 diverse built environment that is deeply tied to ecological change. This d
 ynamic did not end with the invasion of 1492\, but rather continued to exp
 and and accelerate when people\, plants\, and empires came from across the
  Atlantic. Using ephemeral architecture\, in particular the complex and ex
 quisite creation of thatch roofs as the leading thread in these tapestries
  of exchange\, this series of conferences highlight the profound ways in w
 hich environmental practices\, botanical knowledge\, technological develop
 ment\, architectural innovation\, and creative expression were deeply tied
  across these distinct regions and peoples\, and shaped by imperial action
 s. This conference series brings an unusually diverse number of discipline
 s together in order to unpack these complex dynamics\, which challenge how
  we understand the built environment\, the early modern Atlantic World\, a
 nd the intersections between the local and the global.\n\nEphemeral archit
 ecture has been long overlooked by scholars\, with few exceptions\, becaus
 e of its relatively short life span\, the lack of extant structures\, and 
 most importantly\, the need to understand its complex ecological context.
   Our first conference\, “Ecology\,” seeks to address this lacuna by 
 exploring the complex and dynamic ecologies from which ephemeral architect
 ure arises in the Indigenous circum-Caribbean and its transformation with 
 the arrival of Africans and Europeans (with their flora\, fauna and techno
 logies). Scholars from a diversity of disciplines and countries are brough
 t together to explore and challenge a variety of perspectives and theoreti
 cal approaches to local and cross regional ecologies and histories\, from 
 unique plants and cultural knowledge to complex ecosystems and critical hu
 man interventions. In the case of thatched roofs\, which often drew upon s
 hort-lived grasses and had to be remade regularly\, even slight ecological
  changes would have had profound impacts. It is precisely the material con
 dition of this ephemeral architecture that ties its existence to even subt
 le changes in local ecologies\, while also revealing overlooked histories 
 and silenced voices of the Early Modern world.\n\nSpeakers\nIrvince Nanich
