SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Tech Scoop: Livescribe / Red&Write
DESCRIPTION:Technology is suppose to make life easier\, right? This month\, Computer Showcase is hosting a series of workshops designed to help your tech do just that. We'll demo built-in features\, system settings\, and products that can make everyday tasks for work or class quicker\, easier\, and more efficient.\n\nThis session:\nThe future is now! Join us for a live demo of two products that make the simple act of taking notes feel like science fiction.\n\nLivescribe Echo Smartpen\nEcho remembers so you don't have to. Record everything you write and hear digitally\, together or separately. Tap anywhere on your notes to replay the audio from that moment in time. Review and organize your notes and audio on your Mac or Windows PC. You really have to see the Echo Smartpen in action to appreciate what an amazing tool this is!\n\nRead&Write Gold\nFrom reading on-screen text aloud to researching and checking written work\, this software makes lots of everyday tasks easier. It's a big confidence booster for anyone who wants a little extra help with their reading and writing\, at school or in the workplace. Use text-to-speech and word prediction (a sophisticated version of autocorrect) to assist with reading or proofreading. Catch incorrectly used homonyms (such as \"there\" and \"there\") and confusable words (such as \"effect\" and \"affect\"). The best part? Read&Write is available at no charge to any current U-M student\, faculty\, or staff member!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IISS Workshop. \"The Mongol King\, the Prophet Muhammad\, and the Buddha: Inter-faith Disputations and Sacred Kingship in Medieval Iran.\"
DESCRIPTION:About this workshop: We will discuss the fourth chapter of Jonathan Brack’s dissertation “Mediating Sacred Kingship: Conversion and Sovereignty in Mongol Iran.” In his dissertation\, Jonathan demonstrates how Muslim perceptions of sacred kingship were shaped through inter-religious interactions at the Mongol court in 13th-14th centuries Iran (the Ilkhanate).\n\nIn chapter four\, Jonathan explores how the Ilkhanid vizier Rashid al-Din (d. 1317) experimented with the classical boundaries separating prophethood and sainthood from kingship in Muslim theological thought to make room for a new rank of an exceptional\, sacred and saintly Muslim kingship. The chapter focuses on the vizier’s neglected theological writings to show that Rashid al-Din appropriated and expanded the Ashʿarite theologian and exegetist Fakhr al-Din al-Razi’s (d. 1210) hierarchy of human souls to mediate between Mongol notions of sacred kingship and Islamic worldviews. Paying particular attention the vizier’s polemical anti-Buddhist works\, the chapter further argues that the Ilkhanid vizier used this new Islamic theologically grounded model of sacred authority to claim to himself the exclusive position of the Mongol ruler’s intermediary in a court dominated by inter-religious\, inter-confessional and inter-personal rivalries and competition.\n\n*** Please RSVP to Golriz Farshi (gfarshi@umich.edu) for reading materials***

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:“flip. peasant. spanish.: Gender\, Defective Spanish\, and Linguistic Incapacity in the Comparative US-Mexican-Philippine Borderlands”
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP to obmora@umich.edu to receive copy of chapter. Snacks will be served!\n\nDrawing on comparative ethnic studies\, this paper examines the comparative affinities between Chicana/o and Filipina/o racialization in the US-Mexico Borderlands through a postcolonial disability optic. By including the Philippines as a borderlands where US transpacific imperialism and Spanish colonialism have historically overlapped – the very same colonial projects that have informed the various formations of the US-Mexican corridor – I propose a re-consideration of the border as an “herida abierta”\, as iconized by Gloria Anzaldúa\, as a Chicana disability theory that helps to explain the comparartive racializations of Filipino postcoloniality. Through a consideration of Brian Ascalon Roley’s Filipino-Chicano novel\, American Son (2001)\, alongside Borderlands/La Frontera\, I develop the concept “linguistic incapacity” to examine the vulnerabilities of linguistic colonialism and the racial embodiments and defects of language.\n\nI use Anzaldúa canonical chapter\, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”\, which proposes the liberation and maintenance of defective disabled Spanishes (“somos las del español deficiente)\, as a lens to understand American Son’s representations of wounded “castrated” Filipino masculinities within a US-Mexican borderscape. I interpose the critiques of “racial castration” of Asian American queer studies alongside the wounded tongues of Chicana feminist theory to suggest that in American Son the disability of castration is rehabilitated through the mixed-race mis-recognition of Filipinos as Latinos in a US racial imaginary. The “castrated mestizo” represents the intersection of Chicano and Filipino embodiment. I attempt to understand the polysemous Filipino body\, whose provenance is a “Hispanic Asia”\, through the optic of Chicana feminist theory. This inevitably leads me to the question of “Flip Spanish” - a “wild tongue” that is not characterized by the preservation of anomalous Spanish but rather through its absent presence\, a condition I term “linguistic incapacity”. What can absence\, linguistic defect\, and language deficits tell us about the comparative racial projects of US imperialism? What can the “racial errors” of misrecognition bring to disability theory? Finally\, what can comparative ethnic studies gain from expanding its modes of inquiry to include disability? What does comparative Filipina/o and Latina/o scholarship look like?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Special Lecture | At Play in Atomic Japan: KATHY's Radical Kawaii (Cute) Choreography of Failure
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I examine the choreographic enterprise of the 21st-century all-female performance collective KATHY\, who create tableau-vivant\, which they bring to life with their pop-ritual dancing\, ballet\, tea ceremonies\, and environmental\, object\, and audience interactions. KATHY's kawaii mixes and twists the traditional kawaii culture of Heian women's writing and Edo kabuki musume with the spectacularly contemporary Hello-Kitty-pink-globalization\, anime\, and J-POP. I argue that KATHY is part of a (gendered) (false) (post-3/11) (avant-garde) movement of Japanese artists who deploy kawaii shôjo (cute girl) iconography as a radical weapon to skewer the current social\, political and economic malaise.\n\nKatherine Mezur is a freelance dance\, theatre\, and performance studies scholar\, dramaturg\, choreographer and director. Her work focuses on transnational East Asian performance practices\, histories\, and theories. She writes on Japanese traditional and contemporary performance\, girl cultures and their live and mediated performances\, and gender technologies from kabuki to J-pop.
