What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

In November 2016\, following a trip to Mexico\, birds unexpectedly started migrating to her canvases and an entirely new body of work began to take shape. The current exhibit\, Flights of Fancy\, features birds in colorful\, light-filled works. The birds represent the lightness she associates with qualities of joy\, hope\, healing and inspiration she sees as a source of personal well-being.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696884@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171011T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171011T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

After disposing (selling\, recycling\, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life\, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings\, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty\, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

While Ann Arbor may seem far removed from Detroit\, the themes of 1967—housing segregation\, media bias\, student activism\, and police violence—resonated here as well. \n\nThis exhibit\, on display in the Hatcher Graduate Library North lobby through September 15\, 2017\, highlights the extensive archival resources of the Bentley Historical Library and the U-M Library’s Labadie Collection. These materials place the rebellion in the context of 1960s activism against racism and inequality in Detroit and Ann Arbor\, and illustrate the significance and range of press coverage.

Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York UID:42127-9560432@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593349@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170510T144424 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171011T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171011T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

The former is famous for its verisimilitude in presenting the domestic life of women in a wealthy merchant household\, and the latter features an independent and valiant swordswoman who eventually agrees to marry into a Manchu gentry family. Critical discussions about food in relation to women in Chinese fictional narratives often focus on two aspects: food as a supplement or counterpart for sex\, and food as a medium for social transactions. This lecture provides a close reading of several passages from the two novels where neither sexuality nor social transactions are a major concern. Instead\, the reading focuses on how details about food and dining provide alternative means for depicting the female characters’ personalities and their inner thoughts in the fast-paced and plot-driven narratives. This discussion about the literary functions of food also touches on related subjects such as the stylistic features of vernacular storytelling and the food culture in late imperial China.\n\nYan Liang is an associate professor of Chinese language and literature at Grand Valley State University. She received her PhD in Comparative Literature at the University of California\, Santa Barbara in 2008. Her research interests include late imperial Chinese literature\, vernacular fiction and storytelling\, Chinese food culture\, and Chinese popular culture. Her recent publications include studies about the literary functions of food descriptions in late imperial Chinese vernacular novels and the eighteenth-century poet and gourmet Yuan Mei (1716-1798).

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Increasingly\, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school\, whether we get a car loan\, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans\, but by mathematical models. In theory\, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules\, and bias is eliminated.\nBut as Cathy O’Neil reveals\, the opposite is true. The models being used today are opaque\, unregulated\, and uncontestable\, even when they’re wrong. Most troubling\, they reinforce discrimination: If a poor student can’t get a loan because a lending model deems him too risky (by virtue of his zip code)\, he’s then cut off from the kind of education that could pull him out of poverty\, and a vicious spiral ensues. Models are propping up the lucky and punishing the downtrodden\, creating a “toxic cocktail for democracy.” Welcome to the dark side of Big Data.\nTracing the arc of a person’s life\, O’Neil exposes the black box models that shape our future\, both as individuals and as a society. These “weapons of math destruction” score teachers and students\, sort résumés\, grant (or deny) loans\, evaluate workers\, target voters\, set parole\, and monitor our health.\nO’Neil calls on modelers to take more responsibility for their algorithms and on policy makers to regulate their use. But in the end\, it’s up to us to become more savvy about the models that govern our lives. This important book empowers us to ask the tough questions\, uncover the truth\, and demand change.

More even than his literary heroes Émile Zola and Henrik Ibsen\, Holz draws on a particular aesthetics of presence with roots in the theater’s placing of real bodies on a real stage in real time. However\, Holz’s writings also actively work to destroy any sense of the auratic quality of such presence — not to mention\, of art as “Verklärung\,” as proposed by the practitioners of German realism and pugnaciously argued against by Holz in his own theoretical works. This talk will examine both the weirdness and the prescience of Holz’s attempts at an anti-apotheotic art in the context of the era’s debates around naturalism vis-à-vis realism\, looking also at the fraught legacy of the theater in Germany and the residues of the Baroque stage on the cusp of literary modernism.\n\nWeitzman's book Irony’s Antics: Walser\, Kafka\, Roth and the German Comic Tradition (Northwestern University Press\, 2015) explores the crucial but largely neglected role of the comic and its relation to irony in German-language literature from the Romantic era to the early twentieth century\, through an examination of the works of Robert Walser\, Franz Kafka\, and Joseph Roth\, and theories of comedy in Freud\, Hegel\, and others. \n\nShe is also co-editor and contributing author of the volume Suspensionen. Über das Untote (Fink\, forthcoming)\, which considers “the undead” as a figure that challenges not only the life/death binary but also the regimes of knowledge that this structures. \n\nHer current project\, tentatively titled “At the Limit of the Obscene: Realism\, Profanation\, Aesthetics\,” deals with how the concept of obscenity relates to questions of representation\, perception\, and knowledge in nineteenth-century German and European realism and beyond.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu at least one week in advance.

That process becomes more difficult when we factor in our various personal identities into the mix. Which identities do we disclose? Which identities are we comfortable in? Most of all which identities do we need to be aware of (even if they aren't dominant for us)? In this workshop we will discuss the basic tools we need to have as it relates to navigating personal identity in the job search. Participants will\, identify and reflect on their identities\, understand the role social media can play this process\, and be given one clear action step to assist them in helping navigate personal identity in the job search.

The recent conference in Berlin\, organized as part of a series of Workshops on Armenian and Turkish Scholarship\, was threatened by the right-wing Fatherland Party (Vatan Partisi) and the Turkish government. Scholars from Turkey were prevented from attending\; demonstrations against the conference were threatened\; and several participants in Turkey came under fire from universities and the state. Professor Göçek and Professor Suny will talk about this threat to academic freedom and censorship that undermines what our university stands for and protects.\n\nWATS was founded in the year 2000 by faculty members from the Armenian Studies Program\, Ronald Suny\, Kevork Bardakjian\, and Gerard Libaridian\, as well as UM sociologist\, Fatma Müge Göçek. This pioneering venture brought together for the first time a group of scholars of Armenian and Turkish Studies to collectively work on what had long been a forbidden topic\, the Armenian Genocide. \n \nWATS proved to be a powerful impetus to a rethinking of the events of 1915\, as well as the successful creation of a community of scholars\, including Armenians\, Kurds\, and Turks\, who were prepared to acknowledge that a genocide had occurred\, were willing to work together to create documentation and a scholarly record of what happened and why\, and moved the field of serious Ottoman studies from denial to dealing honestly with the darkest elements of the past. The progress in Armenian and Ottoman studies was enormous\, quite unpredictable when the group first met in 2000 in Chicago. Out of the various workshops\, held in Chicago\, Ann Arbor\, Minneapolis\, New York City\, Salzburg\, Amsterdam\, and Berkeley\, a volume of collected papers appeared: \"A Question of Genocide: Armenians and Turks at the End of the Ottoman Empire\,\" edited by Ronald Suny\, Fatma Müge Göçek\, and Norman Naimark and published by Oxford University Press in 2011. Various members of WATS published their own monographs\, among them Ronald Suny's \" \"They Can Live in the Desert But Nowhere Else\": A History of the Armenian Genocide\" (Princeton University Press\, 2015)\; and Fatma Müge Göçek's \"Denial of Violence: Ottoman Past\, Turkish Present and Collective Violence against Armenians\, 1789-2009\" (Oxford University Press\, 2015).\n\nCo-Sponsors: International Institute\; Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\; Department of Sociology\; and Conflict and Peace Initiative.

These clues tell a story of massive mountains of ice—called ice sheets—that covered huge portions of our planet. These mountains of ice waxed and waned over millennia resulting in massive floods. We used to think that these glacial cycles (and floods) were driven by changes in atmospheric temperature. However\, evidence shows that the long term growth and decay of these ice mountains were punctuated by abrupt\, rapid ice sheet changes. These disintegration events involved the near total disintegration of large sections of ice sheets in as little as a few centuries resulting in meters or even tens of meters of sea level rise. Surprisingly\, the onset of ice sheet disintegration is not correlated with atmospheric temperature\; many events initiating during periods when atmospheric temperatures were extremely cold. Today\, we have two mountains of ice remaining called the Greenland Ice Sheet and West Antarctic Ice Sheet. We are increasingly witnessing retreat\, decay and disintegration in portions of these ice sheets on a scale that is unprecedented over the past ten thousand years and this has (re)awakened concern that irreversible ice sheet collapse\, perhaps analogous to past ice sheet disintegration may have already begun. This concern has been amplified by modeling studies suggesting the near total disintegration of large portions of the ice sheets in as little as a few centuries. At present these predictions remain prophecies\, clouded by uncertainty and affected by choices we as a society have yet to make. Here I will review some of the past changes hinted at by clues in the geological record and summarize more recent changes\, like the ongoing retreat of the Larsen ice shelves in Antarctica that we are currently observing. I will also summarize how work that my group is doing increasingly points towards the ocean as the trigger for past\, present and future ice sheet disintegration events. Finally\, I will conclude by discussing the limitations of current ice sheet models and why this uncertainty coupled with intrinsic non-linearities in the dynamic system limits us to prophesying a range of discrete fates for the ice sheets\, but unable to pick which of these fates is our destiny. Unfortunately\, even the most optimistic of the fates we can foresee results in significant ice sheet decay\, sea level rise and coastal flooding in the coming century. \n\n UID:44505-9923099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44505 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171003T110224 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171011T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171011T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Generalized Entropy and Epistemic Risk DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on developing a theory of risk for the normative assessment of an agent's credence functions\, within the framework of epistemic utility theory. In particular\, I propose a general theory of epistemic risk in terms of relative sensitivity to different types of graded error. While this account is analogous in important respects to contemporary approaches to risk in ordinary expected utility theory\, it has a uniquely epistemic interpretation\, which has its roots in Peirce's ``economy of research''. I express this framework in information-theoretic terms and show that epistemic risk\, so understood\, is a scaled reflection of information entropy. As a result\, every unit increase in risk comes with a corresponding unit decrease in information entropy and epistemic risk may be expressed in terms of entropic change. I explain the significance of this for the choice of scoring rule\, the selection of priors\, and the Laplacian principle of indifference.

England will also share personal stories from the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs.\n\nDr. England will explain that NASA\, beginning with the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958\, was created to promote U.S. leadership in air and space. Addressing this mission has required managing tensions between investments in technology versus space operations\, between military and civilian interests\, between robotic and human missions\, between space science and the health of aerospace industries\, and between perceptions of achievement and actual achievement. Because these tensions are resolved politically\, NASA program stability is often at risk with changes in political leadership. \n\nTony England was the NASA astronaut who wrote the procedure to build the CO2 scrubber that enabled the astronauts to return safely to Earth. For their extraordinary work\, England and the rest of the team received the President’s Medal of Freedom. \n\nHe is currently the Dean and Professor at The University of Michigan’s-Dearborn College of Engineering and Computer Science. \n\nFree Admission. Free Parking. Reception follows program.

It is here we discover the allure of the index\, what pleasure there is in bending it to our own devices. At the same time\, these poems also remind us that logic is often reckless\, held together by nothing more than syntactical short circuits—well\, I mean\, sorry\, yes—prone to cracking under closer scrutiny. Returning us again and again to these gaps\, Katie Willingham reveals how any act of preservation is inevitably an act of curation\, an outcry against the arbitrary\, by attempting to make what is precious also what survives.

The folkloric and exciting Lutosławski Concerto for Orchestra stands among the most brilliant and impressive orchestral showpieces of the repertoire. Soprano Kelly Ann Bixby\, winner of the 2017 SMTD Concerto Competition\, sings Britten’s at times poignant and sardonic setting of Arthur Rimbaud’s enigmatic poetry\, Les Illuminations in which the singer announces\, or perhaps realizes\, “I alone have the key to this savage parade.”\n\nPROGRAM: \nBritten- “Passacaglia” from Peter Grimes\, Les Illuminations Lutosławski- Concerto for Orchestra UID:41970-9499534@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41970 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171011T180018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171011T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171011T220000 SUMMARY:Other:Open Swing DESCRIPTION:We play mostly current music\, but its a mix of everything you could potentially swing dance.
