The film charts Ama Ata Aidoo\u2019s creative journey in a life that spans 7 decades from colonial Ghana through the tumultuous era of independence to a more sober present day Africa where nurturing women\u2019s creative talent remains as hard as ever.\r\n\r\nOver the course of a year the film follows Aidoo as she returns home to her ancestral village in the Central Region of Ghana, launches her latest collection of short stories in Accra, and travels to the University of California, Santa Barbara to attend the premier of her seminal play about the slave trade,Anowa.\r\n\r\nWith contributions from Carole Boyce Davies, Nana Wilson- Tagoe and Vincent Odamtten, The Art of Ama Ata Aidoo gives a fascinating insight into the life of a feminist poet and novelist and brings Aidoo\u2019s writing to new audiences.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nGenerous support was provided by the CEW Frances & Sydney Lewis Visiting Leader Fund. \r\n\r\n\r\n\u200bFor further information, please contact (734) 764-5517 or email ecnirp@umich.edu\u200b", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"30067-3328240@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/30067", "building_id":"1000175", "building_name":"Haven Hall", "campus_maps_id":"542", "room":"4701 (DAAS Conference Room)", "location_name":"Haven Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Africa","Film","Multicultural","Storytelling","Visual Arts","Women's Studies"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Afroamerican and African Studies", "group_id":"1144", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/daas\/" }, { "group_name":"Center for World Performance Studies", "group_id":"3275", "website":"http:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/world-performance" } ], "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":1, "first_occurrence":3328240 } , "27497-2433430": { "datetime_modified":"20151222T172338", "datetime_start":"20160405T120000", "datetime_end":"20160405T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2016-04-05", "date_end":"2016-04-05", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Kyle Abraham Residency, in conjunction with UMS", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Kyle Abraham Residency, in conjunction with UMS", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Social \/ Informal Gathering", "event_type_id":"19", "description":"Choreographer Kyle Abraham will be in residence in LHSP to talk with students.

At the same time, the private and commercial publication of state documents, court news, and recent history grew exponentially. The former aspect, censorship, has received much attention in Chinese Studies. Professor de Weerdt proposes that both aspects, secrecy and publicity, need to be understood together, and she will reflect on the causes for central and local governments\u2019 ambivalent stance towards the circulation of archival materials and current affairs and their longer-term consequences on imperial Chinese political culture.\r\n\r\nShe argues, in part on the basis of digital analyses of notebooks and letters, that the paradigmatic shift towards localism amongst political elites in the twelfth century was accompanied by a structural transformation in political communication between court and provincial elites. This transformation was characterized by the dissemination of shared political imaginaries based on territorial claims and the consolidation of the position of the literati or cultural elites as the main producers and consumers of history and current affairs texts. Special consideration will be given to the question of how we can trace and analyze communication networks and political networking and their role in the history of Chinese polities.\r\n\r\nHilde De Weerdt is Professor of Chinese History at the Leiden Institute for Area Studies. Prior to this she taught at King\u2019s College London (Reader in Chinese History, 2012-13), Oxford University (University Lecturer\/Associate Professor in Chinese History, 2007-2012) and Pembroke College (Fellow, 2007-2012), and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (Assistant Professor of Chinese History, 2002-2007). She wrote an intellectual history of the civil service examinations, titled, \"Competition over Content: Negotiating Standards for the Civil Service Examinations in Imperial China (1127-1276)\" (Harvard University Asia Center, 2007). Her research focuses on the question of how social networks shaped Chinese politics. Her interests in intellectual and political history, information technologies, social networks, and digital research methods have also led to her involvement in several comparative and digital humanities projects including \u201cCommunication and Empire: Chinese Empires in Comparative Perspective\u201d (funded by the European Research Council, 2012-17) and \u201cDID-ACTE: Digging into Data: Automating Chinese Text Extraction\u201d (funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Joint Information Systems Committee, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, 2014-2016). She is the co-editor of \"Knowledge and Text Production in an Age of Print--China, Tenth-Fourteenth Centuries\" (Brill, 2011). Her most recent book, \"Information, Territory, and Networks: The Crisis and Maintenance of Empire in Song China\" (Harvard University Asia Center, 2015), takes a fresh look at the question of how the ideal of the unified territorial state took hold in Chinese society.\r\n\r\nThis presentation is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Library.\r\n\r\nProfessor de Weerdt will also be giving a public presentation in the gallery space of the U-M Hatcher Library at 10am Monday, April 4, 2016.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"27553-2450682@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/27553", "building_id":"1000219", "building_name":"School of Social Work Building", "campus_maps_id":"138", "room":"Room 1636", "location_name":"School of Social Work Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Chinese Studies"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies", "group_id":"2625", "website":"http:\/\/ii.umich.edu\/lrccs\/" }, { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" }, { "group_name":"International Institute", "group_id":"1968", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)", "group_id":"3257", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/mems\/" }, { "group_name":"Asian Languages and Cultures", "group_id":"3364", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/asian" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2016\/03\/event_27553_original.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":2450682 } , "29156-3004198": { "datetime_modified":"20160223T143402", "datetime_start":"20160405T120000", "datetime_end":"20160405T133000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2016-04-05", "date_end":"2016-04-05", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"My Brothers Dialogue Series", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"My Brothers Dialogue Series", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Social \/ Informal Gathering", "event_type_id":"19", "description":"My Brothers is a lunch series open to all students, faculty and staff that address the unique needs and experiences of men of color at the University of Michigan in a safe, open space.

Harris Memorial Lecture", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"The year 2015 has seen a spike in anti-Muslim rhetoric. Presidential candidates have suggested, among other things, that American Muslims \"celebrated\" the attacks of September 11, that they should be forced to register in a federal database, and that refugees be forced to undergo a religious test. This rhetoric is vicious and shrill, but it is not new. And it persists regardless of what the facts may say. Part of the reason for this is that Muslims are presented as latecomers to America, recent arrivals who\u2019ve grafted themselves into an already thriving country. In fact, Muslims have been part of America since before it became a nation. In this talk, Laila Lalami will discuss history, its transmission, and how fiction can help us fill in some of its many gaps and silences.\r\n\r\nLaila Lalami is the author, most recently, of The Moor\u2019s Account, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. She writes the \u201cBetween the Lines\u201d column for The Nation, and is a professor of creative writing at the University of California, Riverside.
