The installation of his work as a mural in a central public space on our campus is intended to provoke conversation in place of silence. Much reporting on Central America depicts the problem of gangs and violence as far away and impossible to solve\, and the victims and perpetrators of this violence as essentially alien. With the hashtag #NoHumanIsAlien\, the artist and organizers invite reflection on a crisis of violence in Central America that has been exacerbated\, and in important ways created\, by policies originating in the United States. We hope to spark and enrich debate on our campus about current immigration policies\, including the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadoran migrants and the asylum claims of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children\, children who have fled the conditions depicted in Andino’s work. \n \nThis exhibit\, a large-scale comic strip along the halls of the second floor of Mason Hall\, will be open for viewing from March 19 - April 6\, 2018. \n \nJoin us for the opening reception with Germán Andino on March 26\, 2018 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

I study the change in relative skills of migrants and non-migrants in the context of Indonesian internal migration over a period of 1985-2005. Using novel data of origin municipalities and year of migration\, I am able to identify origin-destination-specific migration networks as the stock of established migrants in various locations. I provide empirical results that highlight the role of network size and its economic capital in lowering the degree of positive selection in migration with respect to education. The results suggest that as origin communities accumulate migration experience\, the skill level of migrants should decline.

Bello received his PhD from the University of Southern California and is currently Elizabeth Lewis Otey Professor of East Asian Studies in the Department of History at Washington and Lee University. His main research interest is the environmental and borderland history of China’s last dynasty\, the Qing (1644-1912).

I present a model predicting that when voters rely entirely on identity signals\, an office-motivated candidate’s decision to broadcast or downplay her polemical identity will depend on 1) Electoral rules\, 2) Constituency demographics and the 3) The electoral salience of the candidate’s identity. This model motivates my analysis of the use of Protestant ballot titles by Protestant candidates in Brazilian municipal elections from 2002 to 2014. In line with the model’s predictions\, I find that Protestant candidates are significantly more likely to broadcast their Protestant identity in proportional city council races compared to majoritarian mayoral races\, but that this difference shrinks as Protestants compose a relatively larger fraction of the electorate. This model and accompanying empirical analysis build on behavioral findings regarding the pervasiveness of identity voting as well as the fundamental prediction from political economy that proportional rules allow for a wider range of competitive alternatives relative to majoritarian rules to show why candidates often project median identities. Additionally\, it provides a novel assessment of how electoral rules mediate the expression of Protestant Christianity in Brazilian politics.

This research uses the contemporary U.S. opioid crisis as a case for examining how efforts to address a shared social problem have transformed the fields of healthcare and criminal justice. Based on interviews with healthcare providers and enforcement agents in California\, findings demonstrate how the use of shared technology in the form of prescription drug monitoring programs paired with the encroachment of institutional logics from adjacent fields helps to reshape workers’ roles\, routines\, and relationships in ways that create opportunities for field-level change. \n\nElizabeth Chiarello\, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Saint Louis University.

My research does not only address how we think about a particular university\, or even universities in general in communist-ruled Poland within their\nhistorical and sociological contexts. It contributes to our broader sense of the place of universities in social change – especially in the 20th century – and how we understand intellectuals and academics\nin their own fields of power and competition. My argument challenges the totalitarian interpretation of postwar history. In general\, it disagrees with the Sovietization notion and claims that the postwar\nreforms did not solely mean a ruthless convergence of Eastern Europe with the USSR model. I examine university reforms as a try to open higher education for working classes and trace its\nresults\, that is upward mobility and educational trajectories in postwar Poland. Finally\, I claim that the narrative about the political field’s domination of the research and science field is challenged by\ntracing the reproduction of prewar traditions and structures. If one considers state socialism as a modernizing system\, with all contradictions and difficulties\, then one might also gain a better understanding of the intended aims of the postwar reality.\nShort bio: Agata Zysiak is a historical sociologist working on postwar Poland\, modernization\, and industrial cities. Her recent prize-winning book \"Point of social origin\" examines project of a socialist university.

What constitutes canon and when was it constituted? What about new texts that were discovered that were not included into canons that were shaped centuries after these until-now texts were known? Should we or can we authenticate new texts or texts that were not known to be part of the canon? What about texts that were rejected from the canon? How and why might we reconsider the status of texts - and can we authenticate such texts that would otherwise be considered profane? How might we rethink “marginal” texts\, the translation of the profane and the sacred\, and the constitution of “canon”?\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

The extreme sensitivity of Rydberg atoms to electric fields\, including those produced by neighboring atoms\, makes them superb candidates for studying such phenomena. In a quantum analogy to classical far-field radio transmission from a source to receiver antenna\, we have transferred electronic wavepacket motion established within Rydberg atoms in a dilute nearly-frozen gas to neighboring Rydberg atoms. The transfer is enabled by electron correlations resulting from electric field-controlled\, atom-atom couplings and relies on the use of both cold atom and ultrafast techniques. \n UID:42207-9584895@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42207 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180321T124151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180327T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180327T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop DESCRIPTION:Jemima Pierre (Ph.D.\, University of Texas at Austin) is a sociocultural anthropologist\nwhose research and teaching interests are located in the overlaps between African Studies and African Diaspora Studies and engage three broad areas: race\, racial formation theory\, and political economy\; culture and the history of anthropological theory\; and transnationalism\, globalization\, and diaspora.

Taking her new book\, Explodity\, as a launching point\, Nancy Perloff will argue that Futurist books were meant to be read\, looked at\, and listened to. The advanced abstraction of Kazimir Malevich offers a crucial context for manifestos by avant-garde poets Velimir Khlebnikov and Alexei Kruchenykh that dismissed referentiality and advocated the new poetic and phonic language of zaum (beyond the mind). Futurist and Formalist theory provide the basis for close readings of word-image-sound interplay in several Futurist books\, including Pomada (Pomade) and Mirskontsa (Worldbackwards). The talk will conclude by considering the wide-ranging legacy of these works in the midcentury global movement of sound and concrete poetry.\n\nwww.getty.edu/ZaumPoetry\n(an interactive website which exemplifies the interplay of word-image-sound in Futurist book art through audio recordings\, Russian transliterations\, and English translations of 10 poems\, presented directly within the pages of the artists’ books)\n\nNancy Perloff (Ph.D. University of Michigan) is curator of modern and contemporary collections at the Getty Research Institute (GRI). Trained as a musicologist and as an art historian\, she pursues scholarship on the Russian avant-garde\, European modernism\, and the relationship between music and the visual arts. Her exhibitions at the GRI include Monuments of the Future: Designs by El Lissitzky (1998–99)\; Sea Tails: A Video Collaboration (2004)\; Tango with Cows: Book Art of the Russian Avant-Garde\, 1910–1917 (2008–9)\; and she led the curatorial team for World War I: War of Images\, Images of War (2014). Perloff is the author of Art and the Everyday: Popular Entertainment and the Circle of Erik Satie (Oxford\, 1991) and coeditor\, with Brian M. Reed\, of Situating El Lissitzky: Vitebsk\, Berlin\, Moscow (Getty\, 2003). She has written and lectured widely on avant-garde composers such as John Cage and David Tudor. Most recently\, she published Explodity: Sound\, Image\, and Word in Russian Futurist Book Art (Getty\, 2016). Her exhibition\, Concrete Poetry: Words and Sounds in Graphic Space\, was on view at the GRI from March 28 – July 30\, 2017.

As a young attorney\, Justice Sachs defended people charged under the racist statutes and repressive security laws of apartheid. Forced into exile in 1966\, he worked with the African National Congress from abroad\, where his criticism of apartheid made him the victim of a car bombing in Mozambique in 1988. Justice Sachs lost an arm and the sight of one eye in the attack\, but recovered and returned to South Africa as a member of the Constitutional Committee to assist South Africa’s transition into a constitutional democracy. He was later appointed by President Nelson Mandela to serve on the South African Constitutional Court. \n\nThe Bishop Lecture was established by the friends and family of Professor Bishop following his death in 1987.

This\, however\, did not detract from the complexity with which the Chinese reformists\, thinkers\, and writers engaged with Rome. It is precisely this complexity that this paper will try to unfold. In particular\, Ancient Rome\, as a negative exemplum\, loomed large in the Chinese discourses on a range of key issues including the role of religion in nation building\, the (re)formation of \"national character\"\, and the relationship between unification/centralization and local autonomy. To a great extent\, Ancient Rome functioned as a site where evaluation of China’s past\, concern over China’s fate\, search for historical lessons\, and a close attention to contemporary European affairs and their historical precedents were intricately coalesced.\n\nJinyu Liu is Associate Professor of Classical Studies at DePauw University\, and also Distinguished Guest Professor at Shanghai Normal University (2014-2020). Her research interests include social relations in Roman cities\, the non-elite in the Roman Empire\, Latin epigraphy\, the reception of Graeco-Roman classics in China\, as well as translating classical texts in a global context. As the Principal Investigator of “Translating the Complete Corpus of Ovid’s Poetry into Chinese with Commentaries\"\, a multi-year project sponsored by a Chinese National Social Science Foundation Major Grant (2015-2020)\, she is collaborating with more than a dozen scholars from four countries to translate the complete works of Ovid (43 BCE-17 CE)\, arguably the most popular poet of ancient Rome\, into Chinese for the first time.
