SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Humanities Tools for Library Resources
DESCRIPTION:Hilde De Weerdt\, Professor of Chinese History at Leiden University\, reviews recent efforts to connect text databases\, biographical databases\, geographic information systems\, and tools generated from within the humanities community. She argues that connecting databases and tools\, open access as well as commercial\, is an important mission for researchers and librarians in Chinese Studies and one that has been ignored for too long.\n\nDe Weerdt says\,\n\"In the first part of the presentation I will briefly discuss the limitations of well-known textual databases in pre-twentieth century and modern Chinese Studies with regard to search functionality\, data discovery\, exportability\, and accessibility. Next I will demonstrate how customized humanities tools can help overcome many of these limitations\, using as an example the basic and new functionality of the MARKUS platform. I will conclude that the generation of humanities-specific platforms and tools is necessary for the development of Chinese Studies and compatible with the goals and premises of philological inquiry. I will also emphasize that the realization of resources and tools that conform with academic standards and research flows requires far more engagement from within the Chinese Studies community and closer collaboration between librarians\, computer scientists\, and humanities researchers and teachers.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:IISS Graduate Symposium: Topics in Vernacular Islam
DESCRIPTION:As we envision it\, Vernacular Islam is every expression of Islam within the Islamicate world. The focus of our definition is on the domestic and functional—versus the rigid and standard—aspects of the term vernacular. Being a social and expressive faith\, there are no practices of Islam nor are there Muslim communities that do not fall under the umbrella of vernacular. Thinking about the vernacular for us also describes a phenomena in Muslim societies wherein particular Islamic expressions position themselves in relation to an imagined standard or orthodoxy on a social\, political\, economic\, and historical level. In the words of Tom Pepinsky\, “All Islam is vernacular Islam. All of it. Wahhabis and Salafis in the Arab Middle East are just as much products of particular historical moments and sociopolitical contexts as are other Sunni Muslims who don’t happen to speak a form of Arabic as their native language (to say nothing of Ibadis\, Ismailis\, Alevis\, etc.).”\n\nSpeaker Schedule:\n12:30 - 1:00 pm: Welcome and Keynote Address with Alexander Knysh\n1:00 - 1:30 pm: Emma Nolan-Thomas (U-M)\n1:30 - 2:00 pm: Dr. Philipp Bruckmayr (University of Vienna)\n2:00 - 2:15 pm: Break\n2:15 - 2:45 pm: Paul Love (U-M)\n2:45 - 3:15 pm: Jonathan Allen (University of Maryland\, College Park)\n3:15 - 3:45 pm: Sara Katz (U-M)\n3:45 - 4:30 pm: Q&A\nView speaker abstracts here: http://www.ii.umich.edu/isp/graduates/interdisciplinary-islamic-studies-seminar.html\n\nPlease refer any questions to IISScoordinators@umich.edu. \n\nThe Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) is the only academic forum at the University of Michigan that engages students and faculty who are interested in the study of Islam and Muslim societies in an interdisciplinary and cross-regional conversation. Following our inception in the winter term 2010\, IISS has grown to include a large number of both student and faculty participants. They represent a wide range of departments and programs including American Culture\, Anthropology\, Architecture and Urban Planning\, Asian Languages and Cultures\, History\, Law\, Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Musicology\, Natural Resources and Environment\, Near Eastern Studies\, Political Science\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, South Asian Studies\, and Southeast Asian Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ending Gender and Imperial Violence: Palestine\, Beirut\, Chicago and Detroit
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the ways U.S.-led empire seeps into the lives and labor of feminist and queer activists of the Arab region and its diasporas.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Performance:Film Screening: Mestiza Music
DESCRIPTION:Western classical music\, traditionally known for scores that go back as far as 1000 AD\, is a genre that is still being written today. Modern composers continue to develop new ways to present a style that is centuries old. Symphony orchestras are starting to make room for new instruments in their ensembles.\n \nFor one North American composer\, multi-cultural fusion within the classical world has become a passionate mission to create mestiza (mixed-race) music. Grammy-winning Peruvian-American composer Gabriela Lena Frank recently brought her unique music-making process to the University of Michigan for an experiment: After years of planning\, musicians with roots in Finland\, Korea\, China and the United States\, join three talented Ecuadorian panpipe players in Ann Arbor\, to premiere a new rendition of Mestiza Music. \n\nThe film is produced by WFYI-Indianapolis with support from the U-M Office of Research\, the School of Music\, Theater and Dance\, and the Residential College\, and filmed during a visiting artist residency at U-M in the fall of 2014. \n\nThe screening will be accompanied by a question and answer session with the composer Gabriela Lena Frank\, filmmaker Aric Hartvig and performers Andrew Jennings (violin) and Katri Ervamaa (cello). A reception to follow.\n\nWatch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8jldNI5NmA
