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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Speaker Series with Stephen Wright\, University of Toronto
DESCRIPTION:One of the oldest questions in evolutionary biology concerns the maintenance of genetic variation\; how and why is variation maintained at loci with effects on fitness\, and what was the source of variation contributing to species divergence and isolation. I will discuss our recent work aimed at trying to address these questions using population genomics\, QTL mapping\, and genome-wide association studies of gene expression variation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Transduction and Medial Conversion: Line—Letter—Trace
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 2008\, the First Sounds Initiative made international headlines by releasing digitally recovered audio from a recording dated April 9\, 1860\, seventeen years before Thomas Edison invented his phonograph.   The haunting vocal rendition of “Au Clair de la Lune” had been recorded by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville on the phonautograph\, an instrument he had designed to trace airborne sound vibrations onto soot-blackened sheets of paper using an artificial eardrum.  His goal in transducing sounds was to convert them into graphical texts people would access just as they did other “writings”: namely\, by exposing them to light and looking at them.  By playing back Scott’s phonautograms as sound\, we arguably subverted his original intentions\, but at the same time we made it possible for listeners to experience his work in a newly enlightening and enchanting way.  Drawing on this and other recent cases of media being “played” against the grain\, I’ll explore how novel approaches to the history and practice of transduction can challenge received wisdom about what counts as historical audio and video.\n\nPatrick Feaster is a specialist in the history\, culture\, and preservation of early time-based media.  A three-time Grammy nominee\, co-founder of the First Sounds Initiative\, and current President of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections\, he has been actively involved in locating\, identifying\, and contextualizing many of the world's oldest sound recordings and has pioneered a number of digital processing strategies for bringing historical sources to life as audio\, video\, and 3D imagery.  He is the author of Pictures of Sound: One Thousand Years of Educed Audio\, 980-1980\, as well as various album notes and articles about the history and theory of phonography.  He received his doctorate in Folklore and Ethnomusicology in 2007 from Indiana University Bloomington\, where he is now Media Preservation Specialist for the Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:History and Culture in Chinese and Greek Film
DESCRIPTION:5 - 5:50 PM \n\"Lost Child or Lost Fatherhood?: Confucian Structure of Feeling Reinterpreted in Contemporary Chinese Language Cinema\"\nJing Zhang\, New College of Florida\nAbstract: Filial piety and the father-son relationship constitute the core of the “Confucian structure of feeling” in traditional China. While the last two decades saw a rapid economic growth and cultural globalization in China\, they also witnessed a revival of traditional values\, promoted through state propaganda and education\, elite discourse\, popular culture\, and even legalization. It is in this context that I will discuss the theme of parental love in recent Chinese language films\, examining it as an inversion or reinterpretation of filial sentiment pervasive in early modern Chinese literature. I will focus on two recent films of China and Hong Kong collaboration\, Dearest (2014) and Lost and Love (2015)\, one made by the Hong Kong director Peter Chan and the other by novelist and television screenwriter Peng Sanyuan as her directorial debut. Both films base their stories in news reports of child abduction\, focus on the parents’ relentless search for their lost kids\, and dramatize the multilayered tension between parental relationship\, morality\, and law. I will also trace the motif of “looking for a lost child/father” back to the early Modern Chinese narratives and its reincarnations in several films made at critical historical moments. \n\n6 - 6:50 PM  \n\"In Her Own Voice: History\, Memory and Female Subjectivity in Greek Cinema\"\nVassiliki Rapti\, Harvard University\nAbstract: Within the male-dominated Greek cinema\, several pioneering women directors made their appearance in the 1980s and distinguished themselves to the point that we can talk about a feminine Greek cinematic vision. This talk will focus on the distinct features of this powerful yet little known cinematic vision\, and tackle female subjectivity as caught up in between History and memory. By analyzing several path-breaking films such as The Price of Love (1984) and Crystal Nights (1992) by Tonia Marketaki\, Love Wanders in the Night (1981) and The Years of the Big Heat (1991) by Frieda Liappa\, and Hold Me (2006) and the documentary The Aegean in the Words of Poets (2003) by Loukia Rikaki\, where the personal drama is conditioned by the larger circumstances\, it will show how female subjectivity is shaped by desire nurtured by memory and agency against History.\n\n6:50 – 7:20 pm: Q and A and Discussion\n\nApril 1\, 2016 Film Screenings at Angell Hall Auditorium B\, 435 State Street\n6 pm : Dearest (2014). 130 min. Directed by Peter Chan\n8:10 pm : The Aegean in the Words of the Poets (2003). 61 min. Directed by Loukia Rikaki\n\nBiographies\n\nJing Zhang is Associate Professor of Chinese Language and Culture at New College of Florida. She holds a B. A. from Fudan University\, a M.A. from Peking University\, and a doctorate in Chinese and Comparative Literature from Washington University in St. Louis in 2007. She has taught Chinese language\, classical literature\, and Chinese language cinema at New College of Florida. Her research focuses on print culture\, the rise of the xiaoshuo genre\, ritual in literature\, and literati communities in the Ming and Qing China.\n\nProfessor Vassiliki Rapti teaches Greek cinema\, theatre\, language and literature at Harvard University\, where she is Preceptor in Modern Greek and directs the Advanced Training in Greek Poetry Translation and Performance Workshop and is the Chair of the Ludics Seminar at the Mahindra Humanities Center. She is the author of Ludics in Surrealist Theatre and Beyond (Ashgate\, 2013) and of five poetry collections. Her research interests center upon cultural studies\, ludic theory\, literary criticism\, Surrealism\, 20th-century and contemporary theatre and performance\, comparative literature and gender studies.\n\nCo-hosted with the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan
