SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bowling\, Burgers & Dogs: Digital Color Photography
DESCRIPTION:After receiving a BFA from Rutgers University\, Denise Rohde went on to study photography with renowned photographer Art Sinsabaugh at the University of Illinois. Working for years in a darkroom\, the switch to digital allowed her to draw from her painting and printmaking experience. Being able to combine mediums digitally has unleashed her imagination. Denise moved to Ann Arbor eight years ago from Champaign\, Illinois\, and she has found Michigan to be an \"eyeful.\" Some of her exhibits include the University of Illinois\, Roulette NYC\, Peachtree Plaza Atlanta and the Kodak Pavilion\, Epcot Center. \n\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe\, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION:Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages\, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Morgan Liu (PhD anthropology ”˜02)\, assistant professor of anthropology and Near Eastern languages and cultures\, Ohio State University.\n\nUzbeks in Kyrgyzstan have lived in a predicament of double exclusion since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of the Central Asian republics in 1991. As “ethnic minority” citizens of a Kyrgyz-dominated state that has lurched toward increasingly strident nationalisms across successive political upheavals\, they have been   excluded from political power\, status\, and resources for being of the wrong ethnicity. But they are also excluded from neighboring  Uzbekistan for being of the wrong citizenship. The Kyrgyzstani Uzbek leadership responded in the first two post-Soviet decades by building a “society within a society”: constructing urban institutions that served Kyrgyzstan’s Uzbek community–universities\, media\, mosques\, charities\, cultural centers. Yet\, those were positioned discursively as loyal Kyrgyzstani institutions serving the common good of the republic. This carefully crafted positionality appropriated Soviet-inspired official rhetoric on Kyrgyzstan as the “common home” of all ethnicities and popular Islamic sensibilities of social justice. Their efforts in institution-building came to a sudden\, violent end with the 2010 interethnic riots\, where entire Uzbek neighborhoods and businesses were incinerated in what analysts call anti-Uzbek pogroms. This talk will explore the discursive balancing that Kyrgyzstani Uzbeks maintained between ethnically marked claims of injustice with universalistic imaginaries of the commonwealth. Dr. Liu will discuss the complex conceptual questions raised by recent events and past history.\n\nMorgan Y. Liu is a cultural anthropologist studying Islamic revival\, post-socialist states\, and   social justice movements. An associate professor of Anthropology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at the Ohio State University\, he teaches about the Middle East\, Central Asia\, Islamic revival and social justice\, and cultural theory. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Society of Fellows\, Harvard University. His 2002 Ph.D. is from the University of Michigan in Anthropology. His 2012 book\, Under Solomon’s Throne: Uzbek Visions of Renewal in Osh\, concerns how ethnic Uzbeks in the ancient Silk Road city of Osh\, Kyrgyzstan think about political authority and post-Soviet transformations\, based on research using vernacular language interviews and ethnographic fieldwork of urban social life from 1993 to 2011. Dr. Liu’s current research investigates Islamic notions of just society in Central Asia\, and comparatively across the Middle East\, Russia\, China\, and elsewhere in Asia. He wishes to investigate how Central Asians believe Islam could address structural problems such as “corruption” and social inequality.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:John Seely Brown Symposium on Technology and Society
DESCRIPTION:The annual JSB Symposium\, sponsored by the School of Information through a grant from John Seely Brown\, features thought-leaders from the front lines of the digital revolution\, sharing their perspectives on the societal implications of new technology.\n\nMizuko \"Mimi\" Ito\, a cultural anthropologist of technology use\, will speak on entrepreneurial or connected learning. With connected learning\, students are able to pursue academically-oriented knowledge about topics and causes they are passionate about\, with the support of their peers and schools. \n\nCurrent strategies for supporting young people's learning were honed in an era where communication centered on face-to-face interaction and experts controlled the flow of knowledge. Today's digital\, networked\, and interactive media ecology offers new opportunities to pursue meaningful\, demand-driven\, and socially connected learning\, but only the most active digital learners\, around one percent\, are taking advantage of this amazing potential. \n\nIto will discuss new learning pathways and relationships that can make connected learning scalable and accessible to more students. She will look at how educators and parents can guide and teach young people in this new era of abundant\, free-flowing information and social connection. \n\nIto is a Professor in Residence at the UC Humanities Research Institute\, and has appointments at the Department of Informatics and the Department of Anthropology. Her work on educational software appears in Engineering Play: A Cultural History of Children's Software. Ito serves as the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Chair in Digital Media and Learning and Research Director of the Digital Media and Learning Hub at UC Irvine. \n\nIn Japan\, her research has focused on mobile and -portable technologies\, and she co-edited a book on that topic with Daisuke Okabe and Misa Matsuda\, Personal\, Portable\, Pedestrian: Mobile Phones in Japanese Life.  She has led a three-year collaborative ethnographic study\, funded by the MacArthur Foundation\, examining youth new media practices in the US\, and focusing on gaming\, digital media production\, and Internet use. The findings of this project are reported in Hanging Out\, Messing Around\, and Geeking Out: Youth Living and Learning with New Media. Her book on anime fandom\, Fandom Unbound: Otaku Culture in a Connected World\, was just released by Yale University Press.\n\nLearn more about Mimi Ito at www.itofisher.com/mito.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture. \"Modernity and Genocide: The Armenian\, Rwandan\, and the Darfuran Cases.\"
DESCRIPTION:The discourse on Genocide and Modernity is still a hot topic within the historiography of Genocide and Holocaust Studies. Scholars are debating whether the mass murders of the 20th century are solely the byproduct of modernity or the outcome of the breakdown of civilization\, progress\, and reason within their respective societies. More so\, a good number of these works concentrate on Europe by having in mind the Holocaust as the ultimate manifestation of Modernity. After discussing the different approaches to the discourse in the historiography\, the following talk will concentrate more on analyzing some of the understudied cases within the historiography. By taking the Armenian\, the Rwandan and the Darfuran genocides\, the talk will examine the ways in which these three cases contribute to the discourse on the Modernity of Genocides in the 20th century. How can these three non-European cases enhance our understanding about the sweeping mass murders of the 20th century in general and the coloration between Modernity and Genocide in particular? \n\nBedross Der Matossian is an Assistant Professor of Modern Middle East History in the Department of History at the University of Nebraska/Lincoln. Born and raised in Jerusalem\, he is a graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, where he began his graduate studies in the Department of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies. He completed his Ph.D. in Middle East History in the Department of Middle Eastern\, South Asian\, and African Studies at Columbia University in 2008. From 2008 to 2010\, he was a Lecturer of Middle East History in the Faculty of History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he taught a variety of courses pertaining to World History\, Islam and the West\, Political History of the Modern Middle East as well as the Arab-Israeli Conflict. His areas of interest include Ethnic Politics in the Middle East\, inter-ethnic violence in the Ottoman Empire\, Social and Economic History of the Middle East 19th and 20th century\, the History of the Armenian Genocide and Modern Armenian History. \n\nCo-sponsors: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\,Center for African Studies.
