But, for as long as there has been trade (and ships) there have been delays and interruptions\u2014rerouters and rerouting. I argue that disruptions and moments when things appear to be stuck or rerouted are neither aberrations nor failures. Rerouting, far from being an exception, is both the norm and, at times, such as this contemporary moment of wars, sanctions, and tariffs, is a condition desired by many as a mode of profit and possibility.\n\nTo showcase the productive possibilities of rerouting, I focus on one sea route\u2014the Bab-el-Mandeb, a key chokepoint for global trade connecting Europe to Asia and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. In 2023, in response to Houthi attacks on merchant ships, this shipping route briefly disappeared, as cargo ships were rerouted through the Cape of Good Hope. I tell this story of this rerouting and its consequences both ephemeral and long-lasting from the perspective of a mobile set of actors in the Red Sea. Locating them within longer histories and wider geographies, I argue for the centrality of interruptions within our understandings of circulation and crossings in the Indian Ocean and beyond.\n\nJatin Dua is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan (U-M). He also directs the Oceans Lab at U-M, dedicated to collaborative and multimodal ways of engaging oceans as anthropological interlocutors. His research explores maritime mobility, and its perils and possibilities, in the Indian Ocean, focusing on processes and projects of governance, law, and economy. His book, *Captured at Sea: Piracy and Protection in the Indian Ocean, published with the University of California Press* (December 2019) [winner of the 2020 Elliot P. Skinner Book Award; shortlisted for the 2024 Monsoon Book Prize and translated into Italian and Greek] is a multi-sited ethnographic and archival engagement with Somali piracy and contestations over legitimate and illegitimate commerce in the Western Indian Ocean. In addition, he has published several articles on maritime anthropology, captivity, political economy, and sovereignty in *Public Culture*, *American Ethnologist*, *Cultural Anthropology,* *Ethnos*, *Annual Review of Anthropology*, *History and Anthropology* and *Comparative Studies in Society and History*. He is currently the editor-in-chief of *Comparative Studies in Society and History*.\n\nRSVP: https:\/\/myumi.ch\/PbbAb\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

Rather than completing the standard 48 credits, UM-AMDP students complete 39 credits, which may allow them to graduate in as little as 1.5 years\u2014or three semesters.\nJoin one of our virtual UM-AMDP Information Sessions to learn how you can continue your education at Michigan and deepen your expertise in the information field.\nEach session includes:\n\nAn introduction to the UM-AMDP and an overview of the curriculum \nInformation about eligibility, application requirements, and deadlines \nDetails about the reduced-credit pathway and expected timeline \nLive Q&A with a member of the UMSI admissions team\n\nWhether you\u2019re beginning to explore your options or preparing to apply, this session will help you understand the program and determine whether the UM-AMDP is the right next step for you.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150830-21910245@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150830", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Virtual", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/17661", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":5, "first_occurrence":21910245 } , "150202-21908390": { "datetime_modified":"20260818T120829", "datetime_start":"20261028T151000", "datetime_end":"20261028T161000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-28", "date_end":"2026-10-28", "time_start":"15:10:00", "time_end":"16:10:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"MIPSE Seminar | Multiscale Analysis of the Energetics of a Sonoluminescing Plasma Blackbody: What Are the Limits of Energy Density Concentration that Can Be Achieved with Collapsing Bubbles?", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"MIPSE Seminar | Multiscale Analysis of the Energetics of a Sonoluminescing Plasma Blackbody: What Are the Limits of Energy Density Concentration that Can Be Achieved with Collapsing Bubbles?: Prof. Seth Putterman, University of California, Los Angeles", "event_subtitle":"Prof. Seth Putterman, University of California, Los Angeles", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Abstract: \nA gas bubble in a fluid can concentrate the energy density of a sound wave by 12 orders of magnitude to create picosecond flashes of light that originate in a dense strongly coupled plasma. An abiding question is: what are the limits of energy focusing that can be realized with sonoluminescence? Our attempt at an answer involves a multiscale simulation of an imploding bubble. The fluid must be described by compressible fluid mechanics as the velocity of implosion exceeds Mach 1. The gas containing fluid cavity is described by molecular dynamics as the gradients of temperature and velocity can be very steep. The available energy per atom matches the measured emissivity and temperature, provided the ionization energy is much lower than current theories. Application of compressed ultrafast photography to laser breakdown of dense gases reveals a consistent requirement on the large reduction of the ionization potential in these plasmas. Our multiscale analysis allows predictions for regions of parameter space where energy density concentration is substantially larger.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nSeth Putterman is a Professor of Physics at UCLA, and President of the Julian Schwinger Foundation for Physics Research. He received a BS from Caltech and a PhD from Rockefeller University with George E. Uhlenbeck. Putterman\u2019s thesis on the macroscopic theory of superfluids was expanded into a monograph. His theoretical research in nonlinear fluid mechanics and acoustics motivated him to set up an experimental lab which probed energy-focusing phenomena such as sonoluminescence, X-ray emission from triboelectrification, and crystal-generated nuclear fusion. Putterman [with Porrati] developed the foundational theory of sequential quantum jumps in a driven system such as intermittency in the fluorescence of a single trapped ion. He has served on the Defense Sciences Research Council. His work on sonoluminescence was featured on BBC2 Horizon, \u201cAn Experiment to Save the World\u201d. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and the American Physical Society and recipient of a Sloan Fellowship. Putterman was named the UCLA 2010\u20132011 Faculty Research Lecturer. Currently he is PI on a phase 2 clinical trial at UCLA hospital aimed at curing chronic wounds. Nature profiled his out of the mainstream approach to science in their October 2005 issue.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person, with livestream on Zoom.
