SUMMARY:Exhibition:Vital Signs for a New America
DESCRIPTION:On view from September 8-October 14\, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Michael Spencer Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Michael Spencer Phillips will lead a modern dance class anchored in the Martha Graham technique but widely influenced by his performing career with Pascal Rioult and Robert Battle. Phillips's class is musical\, rhythmic\, and extremely athletic using Graham's technique as the backbone to contemporary yet technically classical movement. He also focuses on varying quality and texture to build a dancer for performance on stage\, camera\, or site-specific locations. His belief is in utilizing the classic Graham technique in the dance world of today and beyond.\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.\n\nThis event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group: Stop phonemes in Afrikaans and Spanish: Investigating the outcome of long-term language in Patagonia\, Argentina
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThis presentation explores the outcomes of long-term cross-language transfer effects on different domains of bilingual phonological grammar. Our study focuses on a unique Afrikaans-Spanish bilingual community that has lived in Patagonia\, Argentina since the early 1900’s. In this presentation\, we will focus in particular on the production of voiced and voiceless plosives by the Afrikaans-Spanish bilingual speakers in comparison to productions by control L1 Spanish speakers and non-Spanish speaking L1 Afrikaans speakers. Our findings suggest that there are L1-to-L2 transfer effects in especially the production of voiced plosives in the speech of the Afrikaans-Spanish bilinguals (i.e.\, Afrikaans influences their Spanish). We contrast these findings with our previous research on the durational properties of vowels\, which showed L2-to-L1 (but not L1-to-L2) transfer effects for the same group of speakers. Altogether\, our findings speak to the malleability of pronunciation patterns in bilingual speech\, especially in situations of close long-term contact where the L2 becomes the dominant language.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text
DESCRIPTION:Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text \n2017 Graduate Student Conference \nGermanic Languages & Literatures at the University of Michigan \nSeptember 29-30 \nKeynote Speaker: Sean Franzel (University of Missouri) \nPresented in Conjunction with the Ann​ual Grilk Lecture: Celia Applegate (Vanderbilt)\n\nDuring the 1980s German media theorist Friedrich Kittler published a series of highly influential books and essays outlining a materialist approach to literary and cultural history\, one freed from hermeneutic fantasies of immediacy and focused instead on the medial conditions that made thought possible in the first place\, the hardware that enabled it to be recorded\, processed\, and transmitted.  Over the last few decades\, scholars in German\, Film\, Music\, and Literary Studies\, and beyond\, have continued to expand on Kittler’s initial insights into the material nature of sound\, image\, and text\, and the medial operations they entail.  Both borrowing from and looking beyond Kittler\, this conference seeks to explore productive points of contact between contemporary media theory\, on the one hand\, and the literary and cultural histories of mediation\, remediation\, and intermediation\, on the other.\n\nFrom Herder’s origins of language and Kant’s public sphere to Nazi propaganda and Siegert’s Kulturtechniken​ \, media and mediation have remained central concepts for understanding German modernities.  Social and political transformations\, in conjunction with technological innovations around 1800/1900/2000 exerted pressure on​ ​existing notions of sound\, image\, and text and vice versa: this feedback loop serves as the springboard for our conference\, “Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text.”\n\nSean Franzel of the University of Missouri will give the conference keynote address on Friday afternoon\, September 29. Preceding the conference\, participants will also have the opportunity to attend the annual Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies\, given by Celia Applegate\, on Thursday evening\, September 28. Professor Applegate will conduct a workshop for University of Michigan graduate students and conference participants on Friday morning.\n\nFriday\, September 29\n1:30-1:45 — Conference Welcome & Opening Remarks\n1:45-3:15 — Keynote Address: Professor Sean Franzel\, University of Missouri\, Columbia \"Les Cris de Paris: Mediating the Urban Soundscape around 1800\"\n3:30-5:30 — Panel 1: Theorizing Sound\nKatie Wataha\, University of Michigan\, \"Mediating the Inaudible: A Multispecies History of Time-Axis Manipulation\"\nSyamala Roberts\, University of Cambridge\, \"Rilke and Mann Listening to the Gramophone\"\n\nSaturday\, September 30\n10:00-12:00 — Panel 2: Materiality 1800/1900/2000\nWilli Barthold\, Georgetown\, \"Modernity\, Media\, Manga: The Aesthetics of Fragmentation in Eiichirō Oda’s One Piece\"\nRita Laszlo\, University of Toronto\, \"Understanding Kunstempfinden in Ver Sacrum\, the Seminal Magazine of the Vienna Secession\"\nXuxu Song\, UC Irvine\, \"Sympoesie: Frühromantiker and their Athenäum\n1:30-3:30 — Panel 3: Violent Images\, Auditory Objects\nRebecca Smith\, University of Michigan\, \"Architectural Representation and the Auditory Object\"\nNaomi Vaughan\, University of Michigan\, \"Witnesses of a Future Ruin: Alexander Kluge’s Intermedial Demolition of the Nazi Past in Brutalität in Stein\"\nSascha Hosters\, Rutgers University\, \"The Image as Projectile: Abstract and Concrete Violence in Michael Haneke’s Caché\"\n4:00-6:00 — Panel 4: Intermediations: Film\, Literature\, Photography\nElizabeth McNeill\, University of Michigan\, \"Envisioning Modernity: Watching Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway Through Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari\"\nMelissa Elliot\, Michigan State University\, \"Aesthetic\, Medial\, and Cultural Border-Crossing in Jakob der Lügner\"\nMary Hennessy\, University of Michigan\, \"Photography and the Politics of the Image from Sander to Schanelec\"\n6:00-6:15 — Closing Remarks\n\nConference organizers: Domenic Desocio\, Emily Gauld\, and Mary Hennessy\, PhD Candidates in Germanic Languages and Literatures\nPlease contact mediatingthemodern@gmail.com for further informaion.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this conference\, please contact the German department\, germandept@umich.edu or 734-764-8018\, at least 5 days in advance of this event.
