SUMMARY:Presentation:Slavic Colloquium (Czech-themed)
DESCRIPTION:Jindrich Toman\nOne Day in the Center\, Next Day in the Periphery: Czech Avant-garde and Its Shifting Networks\nThe presentation is framed by discussions about centers and peripheries in cultural studies. It focuses on the relation between Prague and \"peripheral\" Brno avant-garde of the 1920s\, and the relation between \"peripheral\" Prague and Paris in the 1930s. The analysis stresses the asymmetric nature of these configurations.\n\nTanya Silverman\nInebriation and Westward Projections: Bolek Polívka’s Father Figures in Mid-2000s Czech CinemaIn the Czech films Pupendo (2003) and Something Like Happiness (2005)\, renowned Czech actor Bolek Polívka plays downtrodden patresfamilias who face challenges of the times that gravely impact their livelihoods. While notions of professional success in the West continuously arise in both narratives\, Polívka’s patresfamilias remain in situ\, turning to alcohol\, not only to cope with dissatisfactions but also to develop companionships and reveal their personal concerns. This paper explores how Polívka’s characters inflect the trope of the Czech anti-hero in addition to assessing the tensions between his roles in fiction films with his role as a national movie star.\n\nAs usual\, we will start around 6:30 pm with a light supper\, and the presentation will begin at 7 pm. The colloquium is in-person\, in 3308 MLB.  We will have a hybrid option.\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUuceqtpjsuGtVajU7dey-Qu67oTCvF_p-T \n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Keeping resistance alive\": Chandler Davis and Academic Freedom at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:H. Chandler Davis — courageous\, stalwart and lifelong champion of academic and intellectual freedom in the face of persecution\, including his own imprisonment — passed away on September 24\, 2022\, at the age of 96.  He was a former instructor at the University of Michigan who\, in 1954\, was called to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. He and others from U-M l were “unfriendly witnesses\, refusing to confess” their political dissent.  Davis\, unlike the others\, based his refusal to answer only on the First Amendment\, waiving his protection under the Fifth Amendment. Thereby he deliberately invited a citation for Contempt of Congress\, so as to give himself standing to argue in court that the Committee’s proceedings were unconstitutional. He got the citation\, but he did not prevail in court\; his appeals were exhausted in 1959 and he served prison time in 1960.  This Making Michigan will reflect on Davis’s life\, actions and legacy at U-M and beyond and will seek to understand and recognize his contributions. Panelists include Steve Batterson\, author of a forthcoming bio of Davis\; Peggie Hollingsworth\, founding chair and longtime director of the Academic Freedom Lecture Fund\; and Alan Wald\, expert on the political left in the US and Davis's contributions to it.  \n\nThis event is both in-person at the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory on the U-M campus and virtually on YouTube.\n\nAs with other Detroit Observatory events\, in-person attendees may tour the Observatory after the conclusion of the panel\, with stargazing if weather permits.

SUMMARY:Performance:Inside The Peculiar Patriot: A Preview Event

Voices From a Plantation Prison* (formerly known as A Peculiar Silence) tells the story of playwright Liza Jessie Peterson\, whose acclaimed play *The Peculiar Patriot* was shut down mid-performance at the Louisiana State Penitentiary\, commonly known as Angola Prison.\n\nDirected and edited by Cinque Northern\, produced by Catherine Gund\, featuring Liza Jessie Peterson and Norris Henderson (Peterson and Henderson are also Executive Producers)\, the film examines how one woman's play challenged the country's largest plantation prison and impacted the incarcerated men long after the record of her visit was erased by the institution's administration.  \n\nMore about the play:\nLaQuanda ‘Betsy’ Ross knows a lot about the New York State Penitentiary system. Her regular visits to loved ones in various upstate institutions have made her quite the expert and a self-proclaimed “Peculiar Patriot.\" In-between neighborhood updates and gossip\, Betsy educates herself and the audience on the systemic inequity within America’s prison complex system and its effect on those behind bars\, as well as their family and friends. \n\nWritten and performed by the incomparable Liza Jessie Peterson\, The Peculiar Patriot was inspired by her comprehensive and extensive work in prisons\, including on Riker’s Island. Peterson’s tour de force solo piece is an important\, funny\, and profound investigative look into America’s criminal justice system. \n\nFebruary 8 - March 5\nAt the Detroit Public Theatre\n3960 Third Avenue\nDetroit\, Mi 48202\n\nTickets:\nFebruary 11 @ 8PM - FREE performance for System-Impacted Individuals\nStudent Rate - $20 per ticket\nSystem-Impacted Individuals - Pick Your Price\n\nTo purchase\, visit www.detroitpublictheatre.org or call 313.974.7918

SUMMARY:Performance:Buffalo Nichols
DESCRIPTION:Since his earliest infatuations with guitar\, Carl “Buffalo” Nichols has asked himself the same question: How can I bring the blues of the past into the future? After cutting his teeth between a Baptist church and bars in Milwaukee\, it was a globetrotting trip through West Africa and Europe during a creative down period that began to reveal the answer. He heard jazz in Ukraine\, blues from expat African Americans in Berlin. “Part of my intent\, making myself more comfortable with this release\, is putting more Black stories into the genres of folk and blues\,” guitarist\, songwriter\, and vocalist Buffalo Nichols explains. “Listening to this record\, I want more Black people to hear themselves in this music that is truly theirs.” That desire is embodied in his self-titled debut album\, composed largely of demos and studio sessions recorded between Wisconsin and Texas\, and it marks a new stage of the blues.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Plastic Bag Store
DESCRIPTION:This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor\, craft\, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically\, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.\n\nShelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand\, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day\, the store transforms into an immersive\, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry\, shadow play\, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.
