SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Shale Gas and Fracking:  Issues for State and Local Governance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques are creating significant new opportunities for expanding natural gas and oil production in many regions of the United States.  The absence of federal legislation on this issue places state and local governments in central roles on such issues as environmental protection\, information disclosure\, and severance taxation.  Pennsylvania has emerged as a major player in this arena\, with dramatic increases in fossil fuel production alongside enactment of major new legislation in early 2012.  Michigan appears to be a candidate for expanded fracking operations\, with a number of policy questions beginning to emerge.  This panel will review emerging patterns in policy development in these two states as well as nationally.  It will also feature findings from a new CLOSUP study examining public opinion in both Michigan and Pennsylvania on many dimensions of this issue.\n\nPanelist Biographies: \nChristopher P.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The Shah of Iran and Understanding the Present Regime’s Animosity Towards the Great Satan (the U.S.)
DESCRIPTION:The political and cultural clashes between secularism and religious fundamentalism can be traced to the late Shah and his father Reza Khan who established the Pahlavi Regime. We will discuss the conflicts between the Shah and Prime Minister Mossadeq\, later Ayatollah Khomeini\, and the overthrow of the Shah in 1979. After the stolen 2007 Iranian Presidential elections and economic sanctions by the West\, the present clerical regime faces great challenges to its survival. Abbas Milani’s “The Shah” and “The Myth of the Great Satan” will be discussed. It would be helpful to read them in advance\, but not required. Handouts of principal information will be mailed to participants. Al Gourdji lived in Iran for the first 19 years of his life.\n\nNo class 11/26.

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:Class / Instruction:The New Politics of Extremism
DESCRIPTION:We will read and discuss “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks”\, by Thomas Mann and Norman Orenstein\, a liberal and a conservative. Amazon’s book description tells of how our main political parties have given up traditions of compromise and that they now endanger our system of constitutional democracy. The authors offer ideas for how the media should better educate the public and how the public must begin to view critical issues strategically rather than emotionally. \n\nGerry Lapidus will lead the first class and volunteers will be requested to lead the subsequent discussions.

SUMMARY:Performance:Masterclass:  Allison Miller\, drums and Myra Melford\, piano
DESCRIPTION:NYC-based drummer Allison Miller defies all boundaries bringing her individual sound to diverse types of music while preserving their stylistic authenticity. Allison goes from leading her band\, BOOM TIC BOOM\, to playing with legendary songwriting vocalists Ani DiFranco\, Brandi Carlile and Natalie Merchant\, to touring with avant-garde saxophonist Marty Ehrlich and legendary organist Doctor Lonnie Smith. She approaches each of these musical situations with her own stylistic identity and a creative\, fresh and energetic approach. Allison was chosen as “Rising Star Drummer” in Downbeat’s 53rd and 58th Annual Critics Poll.    Over the course of two decades and more than 30 recordings\, Myra Melford has carved out a distinctive niche among creative music’s most respected pianist-composers. Her signature sound skillfully combines early influences such as classical music and the traditional blues piano styles of her native Chicago with her later immersion in the music of Eastern Europe and India and extensive musical studies with such legendary figures as Ran Blake\, Jaki Byard\, Don Pullen and Henry Threadgill.
