DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

Now located in Traverse City\, Michigan\, Palmer creates fish sculptures using crutches and paddles for bases. He then makes fins\, teeth\, tails\, and eyes from unique items and fills in the form with found objects. Before retirement\, he was a teacher and school administrator\, and he holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership. Early in Palmer’s artistic career\, he worked in pottery\, batik\, photography and glass before finally settling on mixed media sculpture.

As a child\, Wagner Coron often played outside\, ran in the woods and fields\, and developed a deep inward connection to the land. Her work reflects that relationship. Her husband Steven Coron\, also with a BFA from EMU\, is an artist with a deep affinity for the Great Lakes who teaches fine arts at Community High school in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. In his current photographic work\, he captures single digital images\, which he edits and joins to create digital panoramic photomontages.

The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987.

Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

I exploit the massive escalation of homicide rates in Colombia in the 1980s in which homicides increased by a factor of 10 in urban areas while it barely changed in others. Results show a significant relationship between early-life exposure to violence and lower educational outcomes. A higher homicide rate early in pregnancy and in the first 6 years of life is associated with lower educational attainment (years of schooling\, school drop-out) and with lower end of high school achievement test scores at ages 17 to 24. I also find evidence of heterogenous impacts. Individuals in families in the middle of the education or income distributions seem to experience greater declines than those in the poorest or wealthiest households.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

In the United States\, many foreign language programs are disappearing or in decline. Meanwhile\, developments in technology and the creation of new media challenge our preconceived notions about how foreign languages should be taught and where and when learning occurs. These challenges motivate us to re-think our approaches and make new connections between ideas\, cultures and emerging technologies. Hybrid language courses\, also referred to as blended or computer enhanced language courses\, are at the center of a very lively debate in today's academic world. Although the use of technology at the college level aimed at enhancing foreign language teaching and learning has been in practice for a some time now\, the idea of substituting entire class periods with time spent working on a computer module is still a source of controversy. An internal assessment project that began in 2005 in the Romance Languages and Literatures Department at the University of Notre Dame informed the articulation of learning goals that transformed the Italian academic program from the beginning to the advanced levels and led to the design and implementation of effective hybrid courses.

Of Secrecy and Laughter: Aesthetics\, Governance\, and the Covert Sphere in Soviet Lithuania (1964-85) DESCRIPTION:In 1956 the Central Committee of the Lithuanian Communist Party resurrected The Broom\, the Soviet Lithuanian humor and satire journal. Like other Soviet humor journals it was to be a platform of building communism and fighting its enemies. But soon it became a cradle of a new covert national culture defined by modernist aesthetics and political opposition. The talk will explore how this covert sphere emerged through secrecy and laughter among artists\, censors\, and readers. Klumbyte will argue that through covert laughter at the Soviet state and socialist everyday life\, the participants created ironic forms of Soviet citizenship grounded in utopias of anti-Soviet sovereignty.\n\nNeringa Klumbyte is associate professor of anthropology at Miami University\, Ohio. A political and economic anthropologist working in Lithuania\, the European Union\, and Eurasia more broadly\, her interests include everyday life in post-socialist and post-colonialist countries\, states and nationalism\, elections\, the anthropology of food\, marketing and consumption\, ethnographic writing and representations. Her articles have appeared in American Anthropologist\, American Ethnologist\, Slavic Review\, East European Politics and Societies\, and other journals. She co-edited Soviet Society in the Era of Late Socialism\, 1964-85 (with Gulnaz Sharafutdinova\, 2012). In 2015\, she received the Miami University College of Arts and Science Distinguished Educator Award.

The dominant argument in the literature on this question is due to Broome\; we call this the `Incoherence Argument'. The majority of the existing literature accepts something like the Incoherence Argument for a negative answer\, or at least for the more limited claim that if the person in question does not in fact exist then her nonexistence cannot be better (or worse) for her than any state of aff airs in which she does exist. We argue that this consensus is based on naivete about semantics: on an implicit presupposition that a sentence's deep semantic structure must closely mirror its surface grammatical structure. This presupposition is well-known to be false in general\, and there is (further) no clear reason to think it must be true in the present case. Once it is dropped\, there is no general obstacle to claiming that existence can be better/worse than nonexistence (and vice versa). In particular\, we suggest one coherent semantic framework (what we will call the `Lives Framework') that\, if correct\, would make room for the full range of existence/nonexistence comparisons.

It is well known that the so-called “Big Three” at the conference made the settlement on the postwar order in Europe and East Asia. Less known is how the three got there in a series of wartime meetings and the road they had taken to do that later caused many Cold War conflicts\, including the division of the Korean Peninsula.\n\nKyung Deok Roh\, educated in Seoul National University and University of Chicago\, is currently Assistant Professor of History at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology(GIST). His main academic interest resides in Stalinism\, the comparative politics of communist states and the history of the Cold War.

As a consequence\, the typical media consumer is far more exposed to political failure than success. Some blame a negative media for declining political interest and engagement\, but there is another possibility: negative information is central to citizen attentiveness\, and to the effective functioning of representative democracy. Humans are more activated and attentive to negative information\, and the institutions we have designed reflect\, and capitalize\, on this tendency. But have mass media gone too far? Just how much negativity do we need? And does the changing media environment serve to augment or diminish the negative information that dominates our political lives? Drawing on a combination of psycho-physiological experiments and large-scale analyses of media content\, this lecture focuses on the connection between the political information we want\, and the political information we get.

Its critical fate in the various avant-garde venues where it in fact appeared can tell us much about the broader restructuring of the spaces of exhibition and the accompanying formal compression of pictorial space that followed in the art called Post-Impressionist.\n\nMarnin Young is the author of \"Realism in the Age of Impressionism\; Painting and the Politics of Time.\" UID:28140-2666178@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/28140 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,European,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:Tappan Hall - 180 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160203T144842 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160210T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160210T213000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ArtsX UMMA: Student Roundtable: Leadership\, Diversity\, & the Arts DESCRIPTION:A gathering of students to bring different groups together on campus who are interested in leadership\, diversity\, and the arts.

Psychoanalysis in its early years was plagued by two arguably linked anxieties: first\, that the new science would not be accepted as scientific at all\, and\, second\, that it would be perceived as overwhelmingly “Jewish” by virtue of the origins of most of the core group of psychoanalytic theorists. This talk explores the connections between these two clusters of concerns. What is at stake in the branding of the new science of the self as something other than science\, as “literature”? Contemporary dismissals of the scientific validity of psychoanalytic theory and practice seem at odds with humanistic assessments of the extraordinary range of influence Freudianism has had on all aspects of contemporary culture and understanding. This cleft runs deep\, and has a surprising history. That history springs from a nineteenth-century culture clash between a previously dominant\, historicist and traditionalist humanism and a new guard of philosophical-scientific objectivists. The clash of what C. P. Snow\, during the Cold War\, called “two cultures” was played out within psychoanalysis itself during its emergence. Reverberations of this clash run from Freud’s shocking suggestion of Leonardo da Vinci’s homosexuality through to Alfred Hitchcock’s postwar psycho-thriller Spellbound. Might we still take seriously the ambition of psychoanalysis to reorganize our epistemological categories completely? And how could a project as revolutionary and universal as that be linked to turn-of-the-century German-Jewish subjectivity?\n\nScott Spector (PhD\, the Johns Hopkins University\, 1994) is Professor with appointments at the University of Michigan in the Department of History\, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures\, and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, and he is currently Head Fellow of the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies.
