SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. 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. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer

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.

SUMMARY:Community Service:Michigan Performance Outreach Workshop Winter Event

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Does Equality Mean Business: Gender Equity at the Crossroads of Feminism and Finance Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The day-long event brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to examine various facets of the “business case” for investing in women and girls in the global South. Topics include microcredit “girl effect” campaigns and “girl power\,” women in the global garment industry\, the rhetoric of the business case in development institutions\, and the relationship between feminism and new economic movements such as buen vivir and the solidarity economy. The question examined in each of these cases is whether the business case precludes progressive agendas or if\, under certain conditions\, it can serve more transformative feminist goals.\n\nSchedule:\n9:15 am: Introductory Remarks - \nEngendering Development Beyond \"Smart Economics\"\nSuzanne Bergeron (Women’s and Gender Studies\, UM Dearborn)\n\n9:30 - 11:30 am: Beyond the Financialization of Gender\nLamia Karim (Anthropology\, University of Oregon) \nÖzlem Altan (Political Science\, Koç University\, Turkey) \nMelissa Fisher (Social and Cultural Analysis\, New York University) \nDrucilla Barker (Anthropology and Women’s and Gender Studies\, University of South Carolina) - moderator\n\n1:30 - 3:30 pm: Beyond Neoliberal Girl Power\nRebecca Dingo (English\, University of Massachusetts-Amherst) \nEmily Bent (Women’s & Gender Studies\, Pace University)\nKathryn Moeller (Educational Policy Studies\, University of Wisconsin-Madison) \nRuby Tapia (English & Women’s Studies\, University of Michigan) - moderator\n\nThis symposium is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:20th Annual CLIFF Conference
DESCRIPTION:Over the past twenty years\, the rise of food studies has brought the culinary to the attention of academics\, particularly among social scientists and in departments of cultural studies. This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries”  \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The Unseen Cinema
DESCRIPTION:For financial reasons American film distributors screen mostly films made in this country and either ignore or give very small distributions to some very good films made abroad. We will screen six films from six different countries. We will talk about them and certainly discuss film as an international medium that brings us an awareness of people and cultures from other places\, perhaps better than any other art form. Here is a tentative list of the films we will see and discuss: “Bashu\, the Little Stranger” (Iran 1989)\; “My Father\, My Lord” (Israel 2007)\; “4 Months\, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” (Rumania 2007)\; “Alamar” (Mexico 2009)\; “The Japanese Wife” (India 2010)\; and “Poetry” (South Korea 2010). \n\nInstructor Ira Konigsberg is Professor Emeritus of Film at U-M.\n\nThese sessions meet Fridays\, March 11 through April 15.

DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series: Burmese Spirit (nat)
DESCRIPTION:In addition to their devotion to Theravada Buddhism\, the Burmese people maintain a robust tradition of spirit (nat) worship. The purpose of the spirit worshipping rituals is to incarnate the spirits through the possession trance of a transvestite ritual specialist.  The spirits are mostly historical figures who lived during Burma’s period of military and political strength in the 11th-12th centuries CE. Because of their unfortunate deaths\, these spirits cannot be reincarnated\, but are doomed to endlessly wander this earthly realm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Metonymies of Longing and Belonging: Bodies\, Land\, Mobility\, and Redemption
DESCRIPTION:By the part one shall know the whole. The members of this panel examine the fragmentation of bodies\, lands\, and objects\, and their redemption by a unifying knowledge that is acquired through the reconfiguration of those parts in space and in text. Joost Van Eynde will discuss the collection of body parts by military surgeons in the periphery of the British Empire and their use in museum collections and scientific inquiry for the generation of new medical knowledge in the metropolis. Sheng Long will demonstrate that the division of family households and the redemption of mortgaged ancestral land in southern China during late imperial times constituted knowledge of the lineage through plots of land. Omer Sharir will analyze a British experiment in 1835 to produce knowledge of the Syrian desert and its peoples by the overland transport of two disassembled paddle steamers to the Euphrates.\n\nPanelists:\nCurie Virág (Assistant Professor\, East Asian Studies\, University of Toronto)\, Sheng Long (PhD Student\, Anthropology\, University of Michigan)\, Omer Sharir (PhD Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\, and Joost Van Eynde (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\; chaired by Christian de Pee (Associate Professor\, History\, University of Michigan).\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi
DESCRIPTION:In this study\, I plan to investigate how self-perceived power can influence the perception of speech.  Researchers have previously observed that the /s/-/ʃ/ category boundary of English-speaking listeners tends to vary depending upon what gender they believe the speaker to be (Strand & Johnson 1996)\, and\, furthermore\, that this expectation tends to be of social origin (Munson 2011).  Self-perceived power has also been observed to influence how individuals use information linked with a social category (e.g. Keltner et al. 2003): high-power individuals will tend to rely more significantly on information associated with a social category (even to the exclusion of information that contradicts this expectation) (Goodwin et al. 2000).  I intend to see how these two phenomena interact – in cases where one assigns a social category to another individual and a linguistic variable is associated with this category\, will high-power individuals rely more heavily than low-power individuals on their expectation of the variable's production in perceiving the linguistic form?\n\nTo answer this question\, I will randomly assign participants to a high or low power group\, and they will be primed for power-level (priming technique drawn from Galinsky et al. 2006).  The participants will then complete a matched guise identification task.  They will see a male or female picture and will listen to a continuum of KLAAT generated sibilants spliced with the vowel [ɑɪ] (taken from naturalistic speech) to produce words ambiguous between “shy” and “sigh”\; the gender of the speaker will match that of the picture.  The participant's primary task will be to identify whether the word they heard was “sigh” or “shy”. Afterwards\, they will complete short non-linguistic behavioral task to confirm the effectiveness of the power prime.\n\nFor my presentation\, I will review relevant literature\, discuss methodology\, and present experimental stimuli. I welcome any and all advice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W.

Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\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. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SynSem
DESCRIPTION:Full Phase Transfer\nAlan Hezao Ke\, University of Michigan\n\nThis paper highlights some disadvantages of Chomsky’s (2004\, 2008 and much recent work) theory of Transfer and proposes an alternative\, suggesting that Transferring the full phase\, which includes both the phase edge and phase-head complement\, instead of phase-head complement\, is theoretically and empirically preferable. Given the proposed timing of Transfer\, this approach still allows a lower phase to be accessible to a higher phase. I argue that full phase Transfer can be derived from legibility conditions and third-factor principles. Notorious Transfer timing problems are also solved under this analysis\, with additional welcome empirical consequences. This approach keeps the primary design features of Chomsky’s Transfer theory\, where Transfer is defined as a cyclic operation that applies to narrow-syntactic derivation D-NS and delivers a representational ‘stage’ of D-NS to the two interfaces\, PHON and SEM.\n\nPotential Problems of Phase-Head Complement Transfer:\nSome potential problems of the classical Transfer theory have been noted\, including by Chomsky\, but to my knowledge they have never been aggregated for comprehensive and comparative evaluation as will be done here. First\, there is a conceptual conflict between Chomsky’s (2008) idea that the phase is where uninterpretable features (uFs) are valued and the idea that the edge of a phase is a locus for lexical items with uFs which must be accessible to further operations outside of that phase (Problem [1]). The other noted problem of Transferring only the phase-head complement is that “[this might be] a mere albeit empirically motivated stipulation which is in effect...construction or category specific...” (Obata\, 2010). There seems to be no principled reason why our language faculty should Transfer the complement of the phase-head. Is the distinction between edge and complement of a phase in accordance with computational efficiency or any other third factors (Chomsky\, 2005) or axioms of UG? (Problem [2]). In response to Problem 2\, Chomsky claims that vP and CP can be explanatorily justified as the phases because vP and CP are natural units (phonologically and semantically) at the interfaces. But as Epstein (2007) notes\, it is not vP and CP that are in fact Transferred under Chomsky’s analysis\, so the argument that vP and CP are natural phases due to their PHON and SEM independence does not go through\, and TP and VP\, the phase-head complements which are actually Transferred\, are not semantically independent at the interfaces (Problem [3]). There is also a timing problem between uF-valuation and Transfer. Transfer cannot apply after uFs are syntactically valued\, because such valued uFs will not be distinguishable from inherently\, lexically valued features (in the absence of invoking some diacritic marking and/or a lookback device that is forbidden by the Inclusiveness Condition). But Transfer also cannot happen before uFs are valued as this will cause crash (Chomsky\, 2001) (Problem [4]). Thus it is not clear when Transfer can possibly apply. Chomsky (2004\, 2008) suggests a “simultaneity” approach\, which eliminates intra-phasal “ordering”\, by taking valuation of uFs and Transfer to happen concurrently. However\, this approach has many analytical problems as well\, depriving us of derivational (computationally efficient) explanation (see e.g. Epstein & Seely\, 2002).\n\nTransferring the Full Phase:\nAll of the problems listed above are due to the same mechanism\, namely\, Transfer of the phase-head complement. Therefore\, by assuming (i) full phase Transfer\, Problems 1 through 3 are naturally avoided. (I’ll return to the “Transfer timing” Problem 4). Phasal Transfer could be considered optimal phasal computation\, which can by hypothesis be attributed to a third factor\, as was the introduction of the concept of phase. A possible objection to our proposal is that in a derivation such as (1)\, it appears as if our system will Transfer the entire embedded CP\n    \n1) [CP WHO do you [vP <who> you think [CP <who> [TP John [vP <John> saw <who> ]]]]] immediately upon its cyclic completion\, thereby preventing who in the lower phases\, e.g. the embedded Spec CP\, from moving higher. In other words\, full phase Transfer appears to prohibit all successive cyclic movement\, i.e. preventing all escape via the edge. To address this problem\, I propose (ii) Transfer of a full phase as soon as it does not contain uFs. This is an optimal valuation-sensitive operation consonant with SMT “computationally efficient satisfaction of the interfaces”/“primacy of CI”\; (iii) D-NS is able to keep track of two phases and no more (in Chomsky’s system\, the syntax correspondingly “sees” syntactic objects in two ‘adjacent’ phases)\, and the most efficient way should be that if necessary\, the narrow syntax can keep two phases in its ‘visible’ workspace\; and (iv) if uFs are not valued inside a phase as it is cyclically built up\, then the uFs may move upward to merge with a higher phase\, which is the root phase being built at that derivational point. Otherwise the derivation crashes. In (1) when who moves to the Spec of the embedded CP\, the uFs associated with it\, such as the unvalued [-Q] feature\, also move to that position. Crucially\, copies of who are left behind by movement (assuming third factor “no syntactic tampering”) but they do not have unvalued features -- these are carried with the moved copy (see. e.g. Chomsky\, 1995\; Obata & Epstein\, 2011). Note that at most two phases are allowed in the workspace as suggested in (iii)\, so the embedded CP can remain in the workspace when who occupies its Spec. This is desirable since unvalued features still occur on who. The movement of who to the edge of the vP phase in the main clause renders the embedded CP devoid of unvalued features\; This embedded CP is then efficiently Transferred according to our assumption (iii). Thus\, the implementable time to Transfer the full phase without causing crash is as soon as there is no uF inside the phase (finally resolving the “Transfer timing” Problem 4).\n\nSome Empirical Consequences of the Full Phase Transfer Approach:\nIn this approach\, the Spec positions of CP or vP remain as the natural landing positions for wh-movement. These positions are the escape hatches to the higher phase\, given bottom up Merge-by-Merge cyclic derivation\, although intermediate landing sites are not where the wh- phrase’s uFs are valued. This explains why the copies of who are possible and obligatory even in intermediate phase Specs as in sentence (1). Furthermore\, the theory offers an explanation for “criterial freezing” concerning wh-movement (Rizzi\, 2015). For instance\, in the wonder case is (2)\, which book\, bearing a uF [-Q]\, moves to the Spec of a C bearing a [+Q] feature\, where the [- Q] feature is valued\, so which book cannot move further\, due to its immediate Transfer as a member of the embedded CP (iv). Nevertheless\, if which book moves to a CP without [+Q] feature\, it further raises until its uF is valued\, to avoid crash (think case).\n2) a. Bill wonders/*thinks [[which book][-Q] [ __ was published this year]]\nb. Which book[-Q] does Bill *wonder/think [ __ [ __ was published this year]]\nIn addition\, the matrix phase edge (main clause Spec of CP and C) can now be Transferred without any special stipulation. Under standard Transfer theory\, the edge of matrix CP can never be Transferred to the interfaces for semantic and phonological interpretation unless we stipulate a special rule to Transfer the edge of the matrix CP (this could be considered a fifth problem\, i.e. Problem [5] for the previous theory). Finally\, we now predict that movement of an entire phase such as CP is possible. As Obata (2009) notes\, an entire CP phase\, rather than its complement TP\, can move to a higher phase (3a & b). But if it is only the complement of the phase-head that is Transferred\, it is incorrectly predicted that complete CPs cannot move\, since their complement TP is Transferred before the CP as a whole can undergo (internal) Merge. (Problem [6]).\n3) a. [[CP That John bought the book] was denied __]. (Obata\, 2009\, 2014) b. *[[TP John bought the book] was denied [CP that __]]

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter Molnar\, Department of Geological Sciences\, Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences\, University of Colorado\n\nPeter Molnar obtained a bachelor’s degree in Physics in 1965 from Oberlin College and Ph.D. in geology in 1970 from Columbia University\, with a thesis in earthquake seismology. His initial work addressed aspects of plate tectonics. Following a 2-year post-doc at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and 4 months as an exchange scientist in the USSR studying earthquake prediction\, he began an assistant professorship at MIT\, where he turned his attention to the processes by which continents deform on a large scale and in particular how mountain ranges form. After 12 years of being dissatisfied with his teaching\, he quit and returned to the life of a post-doc. In 2000\, eager to change the direction of his research to include the study of how large-scale geodynamic processes have affected climate on geologic time scales\, he moved to the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado and became a fellow in the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES).\n\nPeter Molnar’s research focuses largely on these two questions: (1) how large-scale geodynamics cause deformation of the Earth’s crust\, including earthquakes and the building of mountain ranges\, and (2) how shifting continents\, emergence of islands\, growth of mountains\, etc. affect climate on geologic time scales. His work has included fieldwork in remote parts of the world\, and numerical calculations of processes that obey rules of fluid mechanics\, but he is incompetent\, and unwelcome\, in a laboratory. He teaches a graduate seminar in “Tectonics and Climate\,\" among other courses.
