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:2220-918632@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:20101111T175822 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100225T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100225T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Santu Mofokeng's Chasing Shadows DESCRIPTION:Santu Mofokeng\, one of South Africa's most prominent photographers\, began his work as a documentarian of the anti-Apartheid struggle. Eventually deciding to leave the field of straightforward photojournalism\, he focused instead on isolating the simple gestures of everyday life in South African townships. His work explores landscape imbued with memory\, loss\, and spirituality\, and forces us to examine any preconceived notion we have regarding exact locations of faith\, identity\, or community. The photographs serve to “reclaim landscape\,” examining themes of ownership\, and the relationship between the land\, power\, and money. In his extraordinary series Chasing Shadows\, displaced people reclaim their spirituality and sustenance even in the midst of relentless transition. His most recent urban landscapes go beyond social and political commentary\, meditating on the profound absurdity of living. Billboards cruelly highlight the impoverishment of the citizenry they importune.\n\nMofokeng has been the recipient of numerous awards. In 1991\, he won the Ernest Cole Scholarship to study at the International Center of Photography in New York. He was also awarded the first Mother Jones Award for Africa in 1992\, and more recently the Kunstlerhaus Worpswede Fellowship and DAAD Fellowship\, both in Germany\, and was the Prince Claus Laureate for Visual Arts in 2009.

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.

Initially working on one translation project\, the two collaborating publishers quarreled and one of them?Joseph Athias?decided to launch his own project. The ensuing competition between the two led them to produce a book in a way that would justify their own project while attempting to outdo the other. A book historical analysis of a series of texts which were added to each of the editions exposes the particular background of these Yiddish Bibles\, as well as the position of Yiddish within Ashkenazi culture in the early modern period. \n\nShlomo Berger is a professor of Yiddish culture at the University of Amsterdam. He recently completed a book titled Producing Redemption in Amsterdam: Early Modern Yiddish Books in Paratextual Perspective\, which is slated for publication within the year.

This dialogue intends to provide a space for the celebration and recognition of various forms of gender identity and gender expression. The dialogues will include exercises\, various opportunities for personal expression\, and interactive discussions in order to explore the construct of gender. The maximum number of participants is limited to twelve. Participants must pre-register for the dialogues and are expected to attend all sessions. The dialogues will be closed to only the participants who attend the first dialogue. Participation is open to students\, staff\, faculty\, and community members. Participation will be free of cost and voluntary. Ground rules and expectations to guide our interactions will be created at the beginning of the first session.\n\nIf you are interested in participating in this program please contact Timothy Corvidae at corvidae@umich.edu.
