SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Populist Publics: Print Capitalism and Embodied Politics in South India
DESCRIPTION:Some concept of mass publicity is foundational for a number of theories of democratic self-determination\, but the subject of publicity is radically dependent on technologies of representation for its own self-identity. Research on newspapers and the public sphere is valuable because it has focused on this paradox of mediation at the center of modern political life. Whereas liberal theories of the public sphere had sought to distinguish a rational reading public forged through a dialectic self-abstraction from what Habermas once termed “pressure from the street\,” recent work on the politics of the crowd and that of the reading public reveals a closer relationship. Drawing on research about the history of print capitalism in southern India\, this presentation has two aims:\n 1.To develop a framework for understanding how newspapers and political discourse circulate to produce embodied subjects of mass mediated publicity\, and\n2.To come to theoretical terms with a democratic public sphere where physical force is deeply intertwined with the printed word.\n \nThis program is organized by the Center for South Asian Studies with support from the U-M LSA Theme Semester and co-sponsored by the Museum of Anthropology and the Department of Anthropology.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Back Home in Earth’s Garden: Clay & Fibers
DESCRIPTION:Susan Sutherland Barnes has been exploring patterns in nature and the combining of clay and fibers for over thirty years. Her early background\, in painting and printmaking and later a BFA in fibers from St. Mary's College in Notre Dame\, Indiana\, has fostered a unique perspective on working with clay. In this recent body of work\, she continues to follow her interest in the leaf as an iconic motif and incorporates these explorations in a new group of pieces combining round reed basketry and stoneware. Sutherland Barnes recently returned to her home state of Michigan after twenty years away and now maintains a clay and fibers studio in Paw Paw\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Gallagher\, book author and reporter for the Detroit Free Press. \n\nIn his books John Gallagher\, who has been covering urban and economic redevelopment efforts in Detroit and Michigan for the Detroit Free Press since 1987\, explores the many ways that legacy cities around the world are trying to reinvent themselves\, including innovative solutions to the problems of government dysfunction\, vacant and abandoned land\, and economic distress stemming from the loss of a traditional manufacturing economy. Drawing from examples in many cities\, including Detroit\, Flint\, Cleveland and Philadelphia in the U.S. and Turin\, Italy\, Leipzig\, Germany and Manchester\, England abroad\, John shows that urban distress is not irreversible but that cities everywhere are working at urban revolution in new and creative ways.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series. \"Hands of a Goze (Blind Female Musician): The Tactile Culture of Visually-impaired People in Modern Japan\"
DESCRIPTION:The Goze were blind female musicians who traveled around Japan with shamisen (Japanese plucked stringed instruments). After World War II\, with the expansion of welfare services for the disabled and the enhancement of education in schools for the blind\, the culture of Goze came to be seen as a relic of pre-modern times\, and the fact that there has been no successor to this culture is considered an inevitability of history. With the passing of Haru Kobayashi (1900-2005)\, who was known as the last Goze\, the culture that had been maintained by visually-impaired people disappeared from Japanese society in the 21st century. However\, would we wish that the Goze culture be forgotten completely?\n\nI would like to focus on the hands of a Goze and approach the relevance and the possibility of the Goze culture from three different angles: touching the sound\, touching the color\, and touching the heart. Taking a hint from the Goze uta (Goze folk songs) which Goze created and spread as their own oral traditions\, I intend to clarify the role that the tactile culture of the visually impaired should play in today's society.\n\nCosponsored by the Penny W.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:My work seeks to understand the role of evolutionary rate and history in promoting the formation of the latitudinal diversity gradient in New World birds. Faster evolutionary rates in the tropics could promote a rapid buildup of species richness\, resulting in the latitudinal diversity gradient. I test this by looking at latitudinal differences in the rate at which reproductive isolation evolves. Contrary to expectations of faster rates in the tropics\, evolutionary rates in traits important for reproductive isolation evolved faster at high latitudes. These results are mirrored by phylogenetic estimates of rates of cladogenesis and extinction\, both of which are elevated at high latitudes\, and slowest in the tropics. Despite slower rates of reproductive isolation and cladogenesis\, the tropics may have elevated rates of net diversification (the difference between the rate of cladogenesis and extinction)\, which could explain the gradual accumulation of high diversity there. Another important factor in generating high species richness in the New World tropics is biotic interchange. Using calibrated phylogenies\, I show that despite their ability to fly\, bird interchange between North and South America was limited until the completion of the Central American Landbridge. Following landbridge completion\, avian and mammalian faunas that evolved in isolation in each continent merged rapidly at tropical latitudes\, resulting in a steeper latitudinal diversity gradient than observed in the Old World.\n\n”‹Sponsored by the UMMZ Norman E.

SUMMARY:Other:Self Esteem and Relationships\; A Relationship Enhancement Series 
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays- Relationship Enhancement Series.  Dealing with difficult people in your life can be extremely stressful. Unfortunately\, few people ever learn the high-level skills needed to manage difficult relationships. This series will help you do just that.\n\nSelf-Esteem and Relationships. Few things in your life can have a greater positive impact than learning to feel good about you. How we feel about ourselves can impact our relationships with friends\, family\, and significant others.  In this workshop you will explore some of the earlier-life experiences that may have formed your current \"core beliefs\" about yourself.  We will talk about how these beliefs influence your life\, relationships\, and behaviors currently.  Lastly\, you will learn strategies for weakening some of the negative self-beliefs that hold you back in your life.\n\n\n\nEach Thursday from 4:15-5:30 p.m. you and other interested students will meet with a counselor and focus on one of the most frequent concerns of U-M students. These are the very issues that U-M students have told us are the most common issues they deal with every day. The counselor will share some helpful information\, talk about strategies and clinical resources\, and she or he will also make time for you to share a little bit about your concerns (if you wish to do so).  \n

SUMMARY:Performance:Music Theory Lecture: Harald Krebs (University of Victoria)
DESCRIPTION:“Declamation in Clara Schumann’s Songs as an Influence on Robert Schumann’s Late Song Style”    Clara Schumann composed her first mature songs in the early 1840s\, shortly after Robert Schumann’s first outpouring of Lieder.  Whereas most of Robert’s songs from this period are simple and predictable in their treatment of all levels of the poetic rhythm\, Clara’s songs feature incongruence of poetic and musical stress\, overriding of the poem’s lineation\, and irregularity of foot duration.  Robert Schumann’s late songs (1849-52) contain distortions of the poetic rhythm similar to those in Clara’s songs.  Given his familiarity with Clara Schumann’s Lieder (most of which were composed for him)\, it is likely that her distinctive declamation was an important influence on his late song style.  Through analysis of passages from Clara Schumann’s songs and from late songs by Robert Schumann\, I demonstrate the declamatory similarities\, and also the similar expressive motivations of the two composers’ distortions of the poetic rhythm.
