SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:\"Putting Patterns on Spheres:  Pollen Grains and Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Shells”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Insect egg shells\, mite carapaces\, pollen grain surfaces\, and many other biological materials exhibit intricate surface patterns including stripes\, spikes\, pores\, and ridges. Beautiful surface patterning occurs in cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs)\, as well.  I will discuss how to understand such surface patterning as a phase transition to a spatially modulated state on a sphere.  On infinite\, flat surfaces\, the patterned states consist of uniform stripes or hexagons.  On the sphere\, however\, the patterns are more varied because they must have topological defects\, which may be accommodated in many ways.   In these phase transition models\, the patterns have a characteristic wavelength\, which has important consequences for the thermal fluctuations in the system\, including a fluctuation-driven qualitative change in the behavior near the phase transition.  Focusing on spherical pollen grain development\, I will describe what sets the characteristic wavelength\, the influence of fluctuations\, and how our simple model may be tested experimentally.  CLCs also have an intrinsic\, characteristic wavelength associated with the twist in the stacking of their constituent molecules. These compounds also exhibit phase transitions to spatially modulated states\, over which we have good experimental control. I will discuss the behavior of spherical CLC shells and their surface patterns by drawing insights from experiments and simulations.  We will end with a discussion of the nucleation and growth of such patterns.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography & Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn a widely cited article\, Knodel and van de Walle attributed the European fertility transition to the emergence of \"stopping\" behavior (terminating childbearing before the end of the end of a woman's reproductive years) and suggested that this model was being repeated in other regions.  The prevalence of \"stopping\" has become especially important for understanding fertility trends in Africa\, where some observers see increasing use of modern contraception to increase the spacing between births. This paper uses a new approach based on the analysis of birth intervals to identify the extent of stopping and spacing in German villages\, Taiwan\, Cameroon\, Ghana\, and Mali.  The German and Taiwanese data largely confirm Knodel and van de Walle's description\, but stopping appears at very low family sizes more rapidly than they expected.  There is no evidence that stopping was related to birth order in the African case studies\, but spacing between births did increase.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | China's Ideological Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:The study of ideology---of how public preferences are configured and constrained---can inform our understanding of key political outcomes in authoritarian regimes\, but has received relatively little attention in recent years. Using data from on an online survey of nearly half a million respondents that cover a wide range of issue\, we study ideology in China. We find that public preferences over policy and social issues fall into non-random groupings but are less constrained than preferences in competitive democracies. The configuration of preferences\, which we call China's ideological spectrum\, is multi-dimensional and are such that those who prefer for authoritarian institutions and conservative political values are more likely to espouse nationalistic views and to prefer state intervention in the economy and traditional social values\, while those who prefer democratic institutions and liberal political values are less likely to hold nationalistic views and support traditional social values but more likely to support continued economic reforms. This latter set of views is more likely found in provinces with higher levels of development and among individuals with higher income and education. Our results provide suggestive evidence that economic conditions may shape societal cleavages\, but that cleavages may not reflect a division between pro-regime or anti-regime preferences.\n\nYiqing Xu is an Assistant Professor at Department of Political Science\, UCSD. He works in political methodology and positive political economy\, with a special focus on development and institutions in China. He received a PhD in Political Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2016)\, an MA in Economics from China Center for Economic Research (CCER) at Peking University (2010) and a BA in Economics (2007) from Fudan University. His work has appeared\, or will soon appear\, in American Political Science Review\, American Journal of Political Science\, The Journal of Politics\, Political Analysis\, among other peer reviewed journals. Yiqing is currently working on a few projects related to China\, including ideology of the Chinese public and communication strategies of Chinese officials.

DESCRIPTION:\"At Sea with 3D: Cinema's Changing Dimensions and Horizons\" -- \nThe relative success of 21st c. 3D\, after its failure in the 1950s (examined via Bazin)\, encourages a closer look at the intervening years for indications of changes in film style that address the relation to the spectator. The talk moves all too swiftly across several decades searching for developments and comes to rest\, surprisingly enough\, on the 1970s when 3D had disappeared. But new forms of camera vision had been introduced. Those forms\, associated with marine photography\, ultimately find their champion in Ang Lee and his LIFE OF PI.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Measuring Photon Non-Classicality Using Quantum-Dot Light Sources
DESCRIPTION:Quantum light sources are often characterized by their brightness and their non-classicality. In turn\, the non-classicality can be characterized by the state statistics\; for instance\, the single-photon purity\, and the indistinguishability of replicas of the state. Thus\, three parameters are evaluated (brightness\, statical state distribution and indistinguishability) and this generally requires two or more measurements. I will discuss a way to make these measurements simultaneously. These measurements are made with a semiconductor quantum dot light source. We make and characterize the properties of these sources\, and I will discuss their properties.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Memorializing Rebels\, Martyrs\, and Heroes in Argentina\, 1966-83
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer L. Schaefer is an Emerging Democracies Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2016-17 academic year. During her affiliation with the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies\, Schaefer will work on a project that examines how modernization campaigns around the 1978 World Cup shifted the social and economic geographies of Buenos Aires and redefined expectations towards public space. This study\, “The Reorganized City: Urbanization\, Modernization\, and the 1978 World Cup in Argentina\,” considers how ideas of the future and generational inheritance drove urban planning\, construction\, and use. Drawing on archival documents\, audiovisual recordings\, and oral histories\, this project analyzes the construction of new highways required to transport fans to the matches\, the installation of television facilities necessary to transmit matches live and in Argentina’s first color broadcast\, and the renovation of existing stadiums to meet international standards. Engaging with recent scholarship that examines processes of inclusion and exclusion during international events\, the project will contribute to broader discussions around claims to the ownership of public space. Her current research focuses on cultural articulations of political change in modern Argentina. \n    \nPrior to beginning the fellowship at the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies\, Schaefer served as visiting assistant professor of history at Emory University and interim director of the Emory Writing Center. She received her Ph.D. in history from Emory University in 2015. \n    \nSchaefer's lecture will explore the topic of her in-progress book manuscript. Between 1966 and 1983\, a series of military dictatorships and authoritarian civilian governments in Argentina limited political participation. During these decades\, police and military forces responded violently to peaceful public demonstrations as well as armed revolutionary acts. When protesters or guerrillas were killed or injured in clashes with the military and police\, their peers publicly memorialized them as martyrs and heroes in the struggle against authoritarian repression. This lecture examines how the identities of rebel\, martyr\, and hero intertwined in public commemorative acts and how they iterated values that sustained political communities under authoritarian pressure. Analyzing intersections between political life and mourning\, and examining practices of commemoration that blurred the lines between live and grieved bodies\, the lecture considers how and why protesters continued to put their bodies at risk to challenge authoritarian practices.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:A symplectic manifold is a manifold endowed with a closed\, non-degenerate 2-form. A natural object to study is the topological group of symplectic automorphisms. I will give a brief overview of what is known about the topology of these groups in some specific cases\, then explain how one can use homological mirror symmetry to get new information about them. For example\, it is possible to give an example of a compact symplectic 4-manifold whose smoothly trivial symplectic mapping class group (the group of isotopy classes of symplectic automorphisms which are smoothly isotopic to the identity) is infinitely-generated. This is joint work with Ivan Smith. Speaker(s): Nick Sheridan (Princeton University)

SUMMARY:Performance:University Symphony Orchestra and Choirs
DESCRIPTION:Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.\n\nKenneth Kiesler\, conductor\, University Symphony Orchestra\nJerry Blackstone\, director\, Chamber Choir\nEugene Rogers\, director\, University Choir\nGraduate choral students\, Orpheus Singers.\n\nThe USO and University Choirs join together to perform two great\, dramatic and inspiring pieces for large orchestra and large choir. The creative DNA of composer-conductors Bernstein and Mahler was seemingly related. Both were impassioned\, extroverted\, and nearly frenzied\, conductors of the New York Philharmonic. They were achingly introspective\, and had an unsettled relationship with religion. In these two pieces of music with voices\, they offer us music that rises from the apocalyptic\, cynical worlds they at first depict\, to sublime visions of unity\, transformation\, and heavenly bliss.\n\nPROGRAM: Mahler- Symphony No. 2\, Kara Mulder\, soprano\, Rehanna Thelwell\, contralto\; Bernstein- Chichester Psalms\, Andrew Lipian\, countertenor
