First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059425@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191204T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191204T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770283@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191112T151035 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191204T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191204T120000 SUMMARY:Other:Psychology Walk-In Advising DESCRIPTION:Peer Advising Walk-Ins are great for declaring\, registration and waitlist questions\, major progress and course selection\, finding research\, careers/grad school\, and general questions. \n\nStaff Advising Walk-Ins are reserved for senior major releases\, transfer credit\, course selection and major progress.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15002326@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884130@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

In partnership with staff at Dartmouth College\, these students—now alumni—produced a film to capture their singular effort at confronting an instance of anti-immigrant sentiment in their library catalog. Their advocacy took them all the way from Baker-Berry Library to the halls of Congress\, showing how an instance of campus activism entered the national spotlight\, and how a cataloging term became a flashpoint in the immigration debate on Capitol Hill.\n\nView the movie trailer at https://youtu.be/Ebphd5Rg6c8.

Women\, Defiance\, and Brazilian History DESCRIPTION:Brazil’s most famous historical icons—from the maroon warrior Dandara to President Dilma Rousseff—defied social expectations based on their gender\, race\, class\, sexuality\, and/or region. The constantly changing ways in which artists\, screenwriters\, journalists\, and intellectuals present Brazil’s most famous historical women reflect both tensions over the rights of women in contemporary society and the struggle to unite multiple narratives of Brazilian national identity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Campbell outlines the structure of this project and show how some key historical women have been represented and re-invented in art\, literature\, film\, and TV series. This exploratory paper asks the questions of how and why this group—in most cases the majority of the nation—is tied to the idea of nationhood and how their representation within media affects understandings of Brazilian history.\n\nDr. Courtney J.

It was quite literally the USSR’s master narrative between 1938 and 1956—a hegemonic statement on history\, politics\, and Marxism-Leninism that scripted Soviet society for a generation. Long rumored to have been ghostwritten by Stalin\, the Short Course has defied comprehensive critical analysis for the past 80 years\, despite the opening of the Soviet archives in 1991. Here\, David Brandenberger reveals for the first time the enormous role that Stalin played in the development of this all-important text. In so doing\, “Stalin’s Master Narrative” characterizes the unparalleled control that the dictator wielded over the Soviet historical imagination. \n\nDavid Brandenberger has written on Stalin-era propaganda\, ideology and nationalism in journals like *Russian Review*\, *Slavic Review*\, *Kritika\, Revolutionary Russia\, Nationality Papers\, Europe-Asia Studies\, Jahrbuecher fuer Geschichte Osteuropas\, Noveishaia istoriia Rossii *and *Voprosy istorii*. He has written or edited nine books including *National Bolshevism: Stalinist Mass Culture and the Formation of Modern Russian National Identity\, 1931-1956* (Harvard\, 2002)\; *Epic Revisionism: Russian History and Literature as Stalinist Propaganda\,* co-edited with Kevin M. F. Platt (Wisconsin\, 2006)\; *Propaganda State in Crisis: Soviet Ideology\, Indoctrination and Terror under Stalin\, 1928-1941* (Yale\, 2011)\; and *Stalin’s Master Narrative\,* co-edited with M. V. Zelenov (Yale\, 2019). He is presently writing a new book on Stalin's last political purge\, the 1949 Leningrad Affair\, and co-editing the purge-era diary of a high-ranking member of the USSR’s Politburo. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

I will describe how to construct the corresponding single and zeroth copies in asymptotically (A)dS spacetimes in Kerr-Schild form\, and will clarify the interpretation of these copies using several examples\, pointing out some peculiar features. In the second part of the talk\, I will introduce Galileon fields\, and will discuss how to generalize and extend the procedure relating gauge and gravity theories through color-kinematics replacements by showing that the classical perturbative double copy of pions corresponds to special Galileons. I will also show how to construct the single copy by mapping the bi-adjoint scalar radiation to the non-linear sigma model radiation through generalized color-kinematics replacements. Finally\, if time permits\, I will introduce work studying the double copy beyond leading order.

Architectural Representations in Late Medieval Donor Portraits DESCRIPTION:Votive images of donors holding an architectural model appear in a variety of media spanning the entire Middle Ages. Although related to western European examples (examined by E. S. Klinkenberg in Compressed Meanings 2009\, among others)\, the church models in late medieval votive paintings in the Byzantine-Slavic cultural spheres offer new insights into the multiplicity of meanings and functions of such architectural representations. \n\nThis talk focuses on several case studies from regions of the Balkans and the Carpathians that reveal the varied systems of signification of church models as they appear in votive murals\, usually located in the naos of churches. These images show facets of the actual structures and the processes of decoration of the edifices. For example\, in the Moldavian context\, the church model is never shown with the rich exterior mural cycles that cover entirely the exterior of the churches. Instead\, the focus is on select architectural features and the symbolic functions of the edifice in its representational form. \n\nIn examining the iconographic details of these image types\, and in considering the multitude of their meanings and functions in their specific contexts of display\, I argue that such architectural representations were carefully calibrated to give visual expression to local concerns related to patronage\, salvation\, and memory\, as well as\, on a larger scale\, to the formation of new sacred landscapes in Eastern Europe for which Orthodox Christianity with its rich spatial and visual manifestations served as a defining force in the later medieval period.

The psychology of trustworthiness detection DESCRIPTION:Do humans have an intuitive understanding of whom they can trust? Research on the accuracy of trustworthiness detection abilities has produced mixed results. However\, most studies have limited themselves to trustworthiness detection from static photographs of strangers or short videotapes and ignored interactions between people that already know each other. Thus\, we investigated trustworthiness detection in situations that more closely resemble real-life trust interactions. In seven studies involving 580 participants and about 13.000 individual trust game interactions we found that trustworthiness detection was inaccurate among strangers either after watching short video-clips of potential trustees or after short personal interactions during a group task with potential trustees. In contrast\, trustworthiness estimates were better than chance among already acquainted participants. Furthermore\, we found evidence that people successfully use the relationship quality they have with a potential trustee as a “fast and frugal heuristic” when estimating another person’s trustworthiness.

Drawing on data generated through discussion groups and semi-structured interviews with ten women who self-identify as disabled or chronically ill\, my dissertation complicates existing theories of disclosure by exploring how individuals employ rhetorical tactics of “masking” in their disclosures of disability and trauma. Within this theoretical framing\, I understand masking as a process of disclosure that both reveals and conceals\, that engages in silence and speech (or other forms of multimodal and embodied communication). \n \nIn this talk\, I draw from qualitative data to explore how participants adopt particular affective stances as rhetorical vehicles for disclosure that can help mediate how those disclosures are received. In particular\, participants draw on humor to advocate for access\, to deemphasize being read as having a political “agenda\,” or to soften the material and emotional stigma of disability or trauma. For example\, Rachel wrote an online blog about her experiences of institutionalization\, making fun of her hospital attire and highlighting the mundane milestones\, like painting one’s nails\, that constituted acts of wellness\, in order to humanize those who are institutionalized\, particularly herself. These rhetorical uses of humor work as tactics of resistance (Certeau 1980)\, as participants adopt more socially acceptable\, affective means of self-advocacy. However\, akin to Hannah Gadsby’s (2018) argument in her stand-up\, Nanette\, there are often embodied and epistemological prices to pay for humor. Using participants’ stories\, I highlight how humor as translation requires emotional and rhetorical labor\, and I interrogate the stakes of adopting humor\, particularly when humor may fail to portray the “whole story” of experience.\n\nWe hope you can attend and support our Jobseekers\, light refreshments will be available.

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from October 16 to December 18\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00\, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.\n\nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:66521-16744967@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

The minimum temperature required to “ionize” the vacuum is equivalent to the mass of an electron-positron pair\, 1 MeV\, or about 10^10K. One way to imagine creating an e^+e^- plasma out of “nothing” is through tunnel ionization of the vacuum by a laser\; but simple scaling shows that the in-tensity required to reach the tunneling threshold must be more than 10^29 W/cm^2\, which has been called the “Schwinger threshold”. This talk will introduce the experimental methods we will use to reach this regime\, and what we might expect to find.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nPhil Bucksbaum is the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor at Stanford University\, with appointments in Physics\, Applied Physics\, and in Photon Science at SLAC. He also founded and directed the Stanford PULSE Institute (ultrafast.stanford.edu). He studies the interaction of intense coherent radiation with atoms and molecules\, with emphasis on interactions induced by attosecond pulsed radiation and ultrashort x-ray lasers. Prior to Stanford\, Bucksbaum was on the faculty at U. of Michigan\, and on the research staff at Bell Laboratories. He received MA and PhD degrees in Physics from U. of California at Berkeley\, and his AB degree in Physics\, magna cum laude from Harvard College. He is Fellow of the American Physical Society and Optical Society of America and elected to the National Academy of Sciences and American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was president of OSA in 2014 and is president-elect APS\, where he will serve as president in 2020.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

It focuses on the fiction of the United States and considers the place of the genre in world literature. Regionalism is usually understood to be a literature bound to the local\, but this study explores how regional writing shapes ways of imagining not only the neighborhood or the province\, but also the nation\, and ultimately the world. Its key premise is that thinking about place always entails imagining time. It analyzes how concepts crystallize across disciplines and in everyday discourse and proposes ways of revising American literary history and close readings of particular authors' work. It demonstrates\, for example\, the importance of the figure of the school-teacher and the one-room schoolhouse in local color and subsequent place-focused writing. Such representations embody the contested relation in modernity between localities and the knowledge they produce\, and books that carry metropolitan and cosmopolitan learning. The volume discusses fiction from the nineteenth\, twentieth\, and twenty-first centuries\, including works by Sui Sin Far/Edith Eaton\, Sarah Orne Jewett\, Ernest Gaines\, Wendell Berry\, and Ursula LeGuin as well as romance novels and regional mysteries.

However\, unconventional superconductors—including high-temperature superconductors and hybrid superconductor-normal (S-N) systems relevant to quantum computation—combine superconductivity with dissipative normal metal-like states. Yet dissipation has been difficult to control and parametrize. In this talk\, I will discuss electrical transport experiments on hybrid superconductor-normal metal systems where the dissipation is controlled\, leading to new understanding of superconducting states and transitions. In particular\, I will show how superconductivity is established in granular S-N systems\, how metallic states appear in arrays of S-N systems as the normal metal fraction is increased\, and how magnetic fields can be used to control a variety of dissipative phase transitions. The results are relevant to understanding the role of dissipation in superconducting systems\, and in correlated materials in general.\n UID:65286-16565505@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65286 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191125T080938 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191204T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191204T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Controlling Dissipation in Superconductors: the Oxymoron that Leads to New Superconducting Phases and Transitions DESCRIPTION:Superconductors are exciting materials for basic physics and applications because they conventionally exhibit zero-resistance and zero-dissipation (i.e.\, no energy loss).
