Medieval manuscripts document the preservation of the text until the invention of movable type printing by Gutenberg around 1450. The early printed Bibles include versions in Latin and Greek\, and several that show the struggles among various political factions and church reformers to control the translating of the Scriptures into the language of the people. See the King James Bible of 1611 that became the accepted standard.\n\nFor Audubon Room hours\, see https://www.lib.umich.edu/audubon-room UID:2220-918590@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2220 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room/First Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20091029T160553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100113T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100113T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Book of Iterations DESCRIPTION:This provocative exhibition is comprised of two “bone books” made of horse skeletons and covered in hand-written texts\, burnished in gold leaf\, and shod in silver shoes. Three bridled horse skulls inscribed and leafed become cabinets for ephemeral objects and imagery clasped in the hands of priest figures dominating war landscapes.\n\nInscribed text references medieval and early modern Christianity from the first and second world war\, and archival texts\, produced in the 1870's in the now extinct Bushman language “ |xam.” \n\nThrough themes of sacrifice and redemption\, the artist explores relic and archive in the context of writing and language\, and considers the interchange between text and textuality\, the visible and the invisible world.\n\nThe exhibition maps out the imaginary boundaries and landmarks of the miraculous history of the book\, what it might look like\, and where it might lead us in an ongoing journey.\n\nPippa Skotnes is the Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the U-M Institute for the Humanities. She is professor of fine art and director of the Center for Curating the Archive at the Michaelis School of Fine Art\, University of Capetown\, South Africa.\n\nProfessor Skotnes will be also be presenting the Wednesday Night Museums lecture “Curating the Archive: Representing Scattered Collections of the Colonial Past\,” on December 2\, 2009\, 7:30\, Helmut Stern Auditorium\, University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nA corresponding conference\, “Archive\, Museum\, and the Safe House of Language” takes place on Thursday\, December 3\, 2009\, 9am-4:30pm at the Institute for the Humanities\, room 2022\, 202 S.

The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

As he demonstrates\, far from resulting from the racist intentions of doctors or the symptoms of specific patients\, racial schizophrenia grew from a much wider set of cultural shifts that defined the thoughts\, actions\, and even the politics of black men as being inherently insane. Jonathan Metzl is associate professor of psychiatry and women's studies and director of the Culture\, Health\, and Medicine Program at the University of Michigan. A 2008 Guggenheim award recipient\, his books include Prozac on the Couch and Difference and Identity in Medicine. This event is cohosted by the Department of Women's Studies and IRWG\, and is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase and signing.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by School of Social Work.

Allowing bass\, hypnotic rhythms and a lot of groove into their songwriting circle\, Lee Harvey Osmond has created a sound that's creeping out of the Northland and across the Great Lakes\, just like that of The Band did forty years ago. Lee Harvey Osmond released their first album\, \"A Quiet Evil\" in 2009 and opened the Cowboy Junkies show at The Ark last summer. The group's music offers very cool\, rather addictive guitar-based rhythms\, sounding a bit like rootsier Cowboy Junkies\, a bit like blissed- out Blackie & the Rodeo Kings\, and a bit like nothing you've ever heard before.
