Fabiola López-Durán
Mellon Two-Year Post-Doctoral Fellow

|
From 2011 Newsletter: Fabiola is finishing the second of two productive years at UC Berkeley. She has been working on her new book Eugenics in the Garden: Architecture, Medicine and Landscape from France to Latin America in the Early Twentieth Century. With a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective, her research and teaching has focused on the analysis of the cross-pollination of ideas and mediums—science, politics and aesthetics—that informed the process of modernization on both sides of the Atlantic, with an emphasis on the art and architecture of Latin America and the so
called Latin Europe. She had a wonderful time teaching a survey
course on Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art as
well as two new courses based on her research titled “Practicing
Utopia: Art Architecture, Eugenics and the Modern Latin City”
and “Nature In-Vitro: Bodies, Gardens and Built Forms.” This
year, she was also the advisor of five honor’s thesis students at
the Department of History of Art.
Last summer, her research took her to Paris, Rio de Janeiro, São
Paulo and Caracas, where she delivered a series of lectures
on the various chapters of her forthcoming book. She was
also one of the four speakers invited this year at the Saivetz
Memorial Architectural Symposium “Modernism Elsewhere” at
Brandeis University, and also one of the speakers at the Visible
Race Conference at UC Berkeley. She is the author of one of
the two chapters of the monographic book Nature, Bodies,
Skin: Architectures of Herault-Arnod, published in China by
A&J International Design (Chinese and English editions) and
in France by Éditions Norma (French edition). Her essay “Utopiates:
Rethinking Nature” (co-written with Nikki Moore)
was published in a special edition of Architectural Design in
November-December 2010, and a forthcoming article titled
“Antropogeografías: Arquitectura, eugenesia y modernidad en
Brasil” will be published in Beatriz Gonzalez-Stephan (ed.),
book Cultura Visual e Innovaciones Tecnológicas en América
Látina by Vervuert Verlag in Spain at the end of this year. After
being shortlisted for various universities in the US, Canada, and
Switzerland, Fabiola accepted a tenure-track position at Rice
University. |

Lisa's Summary page
email: cerveteri@gmail.com |
From 2011 Newsletter: Lisa Pieraccini’s interest in the Etruscans has led her to the magnificent collection of Etruscan artifacts at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology here at UC Berkeley. Delighted to find archaic painted wall plaques on campus, her recent work can now be seen in a forthcoming article, “The Colors of Caere in California” coming out in June 2011 in Etruscan Studies. She was asked to write the entry for “Caere” for the Wiley and Blackwell Encyclopedia of Ancient Art as well as for The Oxford Bibliographies Online, both due out in 2011. In addition Lisa
has been asked to do a number of reviews, New Perspectives
on Etruria and Early Rome, edited by S. Bell and H. Nagy, in
Classical Review 60, 2010; Etruscans by Definition: Papers in
Honour of Sybille Haynes, edited by J. Swaddling and P. Perkins,
in Etruscan Studies 14 (forthcoming 2011); and The Necropolis
of Poggio Civitate (Murlo) – Burials from Poggio Aguzzo, by
A. Tuck, in The American Journal of Archaeology (forthcoming
2011). Lisa’s fascination with ancient wall painting includes
the world of Rome. She will be part of a two day conference
in the spring of 2012 in San Francisco dedicated to “Pompeii
and Herculaneum: Rediscovering Roman Art and Culture,”
sponsored by Humanities West. Lisa’s talk is entitled, “If These
Walls Could Speak: A Case Study in Pompeii.” Lisa’s summers
are spent outside of Rome where she conducts research and
spends time with her family. |
