Note from the Editors

Dear Readers,

The anointed hour has come, and soon the gates of history, bound by many

terrible sigils of arcane construction, shall be loosened, and knowledge shall come

wailing forth. But before that, we would like to say a few words! We are proud to

present the Fall 2019 issue of Clio's Scroll, a veritable smorgasbord of student

achievement in the field of history, with three fantastic essays. Danielle O'Dea of CSU

Channel Islands writes in "Scelera Carnis: Same-sex Acts in Medieval Monasteries"

about the changing nature and ideologies around monastic life in the 11th century,

particularly through a queer and constructivist lens. In order to reassert their role in a

changing Christian climate, monks sought to redefine the notions of masculinity

around them and counteract accusations of sodomizers against them. Next up,

Meishan Liang of UC Berkeley takes a deep dive into the Chinese art of framing and

remounting painted scrolls with "Transmission Down Through the Centuries: The

Transforming Social Dimensions Behind the Art of Remounting Chinese Scrolls,"

remounting preserved and elaborated the artworks themselves, while also

demonstrating the mounter's cultural cachet. Lastly we have our very own Clio's

alum Richard Lim, with his article "Cracks in the Great Wall of Chinatown:

Reinventing Chinese American Identity in San Francisco's Chinese New Year

Celebrations." Richard writes about conflicts in the San Francisco's Chinese

community over the meaning of Chinatown's annual Chinese New Year parade in the

1960s, amid a rising wave of protest and counterculture worldwide.

We hope that Danielle's, Meishan's, and Richard's work will stand as a

testament to the potential of undergraduate research in history, whether of the Middle

Ages, Early Modern China, or USA. It is the work of every generation to reinterpret

history for the present, and with writers like them in the vanguard we shall overcome

the monumental task that awaits us. The Editorial Board of Clio's Scroll would like to

thank the Townsend Center for the Humanities and the Associated Students at the

University of California (ASUC) for their generous funding that makes this

publication and editorial process possible. As always, the Editors are indebted to

Berkeley's Department of History for its endless support, guidance, and

encouragement. In particular we are dedicated to Leah Flanagan, the undergraduate

history adviser, for all her counsel; and our faculty adviser, Prof. Ethan Katz, for his

invaluable experience. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the

hard work and dedication of our editors! Take time to read their bios. I promise each

one is a story and personality onto themselves.

Sincerely,

The Editors
