SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IMAGINING DEMOCRACY: ELITES AND LEADERS IN RUSSIA’S LONG JOURNEY FROM COMMUNISM
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kullberg  is Professor of Political Science at EMU and Faculty Associate of the University of Michigan’s Center for Russian and East European Studies. She conducted the first focus group study of Soviet elite ideology in 1991 and participated as an investigator in Harvard University’s study of Russia’s first competitive national elections in 1993. In 2007\, she was a Fulbright Scholar in Samara\, Russia.\n\nThe presentation will seek to explain the long-term trajectory of Russian politics. It will address four major questions: Why did communism collapse? Why did democracy not take root in Russia? How has Vladimir Putin managed to roll back the democratic reforms of the late 1980s and 1990s and return the country to dictatorship? Is\nRussia somehow a prisoner of its own authoritarian past\, or is a return to democracy possible?\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Russia – Unriddled. The next lecture will be October 27\, entitled THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY IN THREE ACTS

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cognition\, Culture\, and Complexity: Modeling the Emergence of Shared Social Realities from Individual Mental Representation
DESCRIPTION:The cultures we belong to affect far more than just our practices and beliefs - they also fundamentally shape how we perceive the world\, each other\, and ourselves. Many rich theoretical traditions in the social sciences have long emphasized this “socially constructed” nature of our experience. To date\, however\, insights in this arena have resisted formal specification and modeling. In the first part of this talk\, I will show how this historical barrier might be overcome by using complex systems research to theorize how the individual\, automatic cognitive processes responsible for reflexive sense-making in situations (i.e. mental representation) will\, in social contexts\, lead to the emergence of shared social realities and collective cultural dynamics. In the second half of the talk\, I will then go on to discuss how this perspective might be used to develop more analytically precise and empirically generative ways of getting at social construction processes in real-world contexts.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis paper uses a natural experiment to estimate the causal effect of temporary trade protection on long-term economic development. I find that regions in the French Empire which became better protected from trade with the British for exogenous reasons during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-15) increased capacity in mechanized cotton spinning to a larger extent than regions which remained more exposed to trade. In the long-run\, regions with exogenously higher spinning capacity had: i.) higher activity in mechanized cotton spinning\; ii.) higher labor-productivity for mechanized cotton-spinning firms\, and\; iii.) higher value-added per capita in industry.
