Cavafy\u2019s poetry explored the conditions for animating the past and making lost worlds or people haunt the present. Yet he also described himself as \u201ca poet of the future generations.\u201d Indeed, his writings address concerns and desires that permeate the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. How does poetry concerned with the past, memory, loss, and death carry futurity? How does it haunt, and how is it haunted by, future presents? \r\n\r\nIn her book Specters of Cavafy, Maria Boletsi broaches these questions by proposing spectral poetics as a novel approach to Cavafy\u2019s work. Drawing from theorizations of specters and haunting, she develops spectrality as a lens for revisiting Cavafy\u2019s poetry and prose, fiction and nonfiction, as well as his poetry\u2019s bearing on our present. By examining Cavafy\u2019s spectral poetics, the book shows how conjurations work in his writings, and how the spectral permeates the entanglement of modernity and haunting, and of irony and affect. Boletsi also traces the afterlives of specific poems in the Western imagination since the 1990s, in Egypt\u2019s history of debt and colonization, and in Greece during the country\u2019s recent debt crisis. \r\nIn this online event, Maria Boletsi will talk with Will Stroebel (University of Michigan) about her new book, Cavafy, poetry and haunting.\r\n\r\nJoin this event on Zoom: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/96401478491, passcode: 761866.\r\n\r\nMaria Boletsi is Endowed Professor of Modern Greek Studies at the University of Amsterdam, where she holds the Marilena Laskaridis Chair, and Associate Professor in Film and Literary Studies at Leiden University, the Netherlands.

However, their adoption into mainstream clinical practice remains limited due in large part to a lack of clinically viable control methods to effectively govern their behavior in diverse real-world conditions. \r\n\r\nIn this dissertation defense, I will share our work towards addressing this need through the development of a novel data-driven controller that can adapt to variable real-world conditions while maintaining performance and clinical viability. We investigate the clinical outcomes of our proposed control framework, showing that it allows both prototype and commercialized prostheses to produce meaningful benefits over traditional passive prostheses. Finally, we show how the impedance properties of controllers like ours affect the user's ability to walk during destabilizing gait perturbations, which are inevitable in community ambulation. \r\n\r\nIn total, the work presented in this defense aims to help advance robotic prostheses out of research labs and into mainstream clinical practice by providing a clinically viable control framework that produces concrete clinical benefits while also accommodating the diversity of real-world ambulation.", "occurrence_notes":"and on Zoom", "guid":"135818-21877313@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/135818", "building_id":"1005418", "building_name":"Ford Robotics Building", "campus_maps_id":"647", "room":"Atrium", "location_name":"Ford Robotics Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Michigan Robotics","Robotics"], "website":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/93805805202", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Robotics", "group_id":"3998", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/event_135818_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/crop-event_135818_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21877313 } , "123844-21851946": { "datetime_modified":"20250303T063124", "datetime_start":"20250528T160000", "datetime_end":"20250528T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-05-28", "date_end":"2025-05-28", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Yahoo Inside Track \u201cNetwork Like a Pro: Building Connections in the Tech World\"", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Yahoo Inside Track \u201cNetwork Like a Pro: Building Connections in the Tech World\"", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Careers \/ Jobs", "event_type_id":"2", "description":"Description: Elevate your career prospectsby mastering the art of networking with our virtual event, \"Network Likea Pro: Building Connections in the Tech World.\" This session will equip you with the skills and strategies needed to build and maintain valuable professional relationships in the tech industry.What We\u2019ll Cover:Networking Basics: Understand the critical role of networking in the tech industry and gain practical tips for building and sustaining professional connections.
