He will discuss how Roman officials under the emperor Nero and the American legal system in the 21st century situated Eastern “others” in conceptual and legal positions where their exact status was left ambiguous. Further, he will explain why this form of Orientalism persists and how it personally impacted ancient Eastern nobles and modern Iranian-Americans alike. This lecture is sponsored by the Departments of Classics, History, and Asian Languages and Civilizations, and the Georges Lurcy Lecture Series Fund at Amherst College. www.amherst.edu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ww… October 2022 Timothy Clark (Boston University)<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calend… Thu., Oct. 6, 5:30 – 7 p.m. BOSTON UNIVERSITY, Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies, 147 Bay State Rd, Room 201, Boston, MA "From Roman Geopolitics to American Law: How Classics Can Illuminate Historical Experiences and Structures of Racism and Othering" Abstract: In recent years, events at home and abroad have demonstrated the urgent need to highlight and uproot structures of racism and inequality that dominate American life. Academic complicity in these structures has also come under increased scrutiny. Scholars within Classics and ancient history have used new methodologies to expand our views of ancient societies and render the ancient world relevant to the 21st century. In support of these efforts, Professor Timothy Clark will show in this lecture how comparing the ancient and modern worlds sheds new light on the conceptual frameworks that underpin racism and othering. Professor Clark will show how Roman officials under the emperor Nero and the American legal system in the 21st century situated eastern “others” in conceptual and legal positions where their exact status was left ambiguous. He will explain why this form of Orientalism persists and how it personally impacted ancient eastern nobles and modern Iranian-Americans alike. This lecture will show the dangerous consequences that result when the categories we create for different ethnic and racial groups are taken for granted.
