It also demonstrates the role of writing in a society where not many people were literate. Orality and Literacy in Greek and Roman Egypt brings together original documents from the University of Michigan Papyrus Collection that illustrate how written documents can help us reconstruct a spoken world.\r\n\r\nOne of the ways we can learn about the ancient world is to read the texts left behind. These texts give first-hand insight into what these ancient peoples did, planned, and thought, and we are lucky that the dry sands of Egypt have preserved for us thousands of them, written on papyri and other perishable writing materials, allowing us an unparalleled look into day-to-day life. Papyri preserve the written world of ancient Egypt but also provide glimpses of what the spoken world was like.\r\n\r\nThis exhibit coincides with the conference \u201cOrality and Literacy in the Ancient World X: Tradition, Transmission, and Adaptation\u201d\u009d hosted by the Department of Classical Studies, June 27-30, 2012.\r\n", "occurrence_notes":"", "guid":"9176-1139171@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/9176", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"Gallery", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["greek and roman egypt","literacy"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":64, "first_occurrence":1139169 } , "9035-1138745": { "datetime_modified":"20120411T173058", "datetime_start":"20120608T100000", "datetime_end":"20120608T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2012-06-08", "date_end":"2012-06-08", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Peter Campus: Kiva", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Peter Campus: Kiva", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Peter Campus is a pioneer of video art who experimented with the medium in the 1970s alongside other notable artists Bill Viola, Bruce Nauman, and Joan Jonas. Video represented a new frontier, one that allowed artists to expand upon common artistic concerns of the era, including minimalism, performance, and conceptual art Campus pursued many directions, and created both large-scale projections and a series of little-seen installation works that employ live video feeds, of which Kiva (1971) is one. Campus experimented with closed circuit cameras not with an interest in surveillance and control, but rather because they were the ideal tools for producing situations of interactive engagement between viewer and image.\r\n\r\nKiva\u2013the title refers to a kind of ceremonial room used by Native Americans of the Southwest for ritual and spiritual ceremonies\u2013comprises a monitor with a closed circuit camera mounted on top; the lens is pointed directly at the viewer of the monitor, but the camera's view is restricted and manipulated by the placement of suspended mirrors. The camera shoots through a hole in one mirror to the surface of the other, both constantly shifting in relation to each other as they turn like a mobile. The mirrors fragment and multiply the image, allowing the camera to take in aspects of the room, the viewer, and the eye of the camera itself.\r\n\r\nThis project is made possible by the UMMA Director's Discretionary Fund.", "occurrence_notes":"", "guid":"9035-1138745@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/9035", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["art","umma","video","visual arts"], "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2012\/04\/event_9035_original.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":85, "first_occurrence":1138711 } , "9074-1138873": { "datetime_modified":"20120419T114248", "datetime_start":"20120608T190000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2012-06-08", "date_end":"", "time_start":"19:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Ann Arbor Dance Works: Corsets, Grains and Greenways", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Ann Arbor Dance Works: Corsets, Grains and Greenways", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"ANN ARBOR DANCE WORKS proudly presents CORSETS, GRAINS, & GREENWAYS: DANCING DOWNTOWN ANN ARBOR, a unique site dance performance with several community partners celebrating the layered histories of some of downtown Ann Arbor's favorite locations.
