The xiake\u00a0is defined less by extraordinary physical power and more by a commitment to justice and individual freedom, often prioritizing moral action over societal law and hierarchy. Rooted in ancient texts, the moral codes and martial skills of the\u00a0xiake have fascinated generations of readers. The genre remains the most widely read form of popular literature and has inspired contemporary Kung Fu films and\u00a0xiuxian \u4fee\u4ed9 (cultivation) novels.\r\n\r\nThis Third Thursday, join the Asia Library staff to explore three centuries of the rich\u00a0wuxia\u00a0tradition, from its flourishing in the mid-Qing dynasty to the 21st century.

Often underappreciated is the vital role that psychedelics played in shaping the fundamental discoveries of monoamine neurotransmission during the mid-twentieth century. The profound psychoactive effects of mescaline and LSD sparked a paradigm shift in thinking that ultimately led to an evolution in our understanding of the biochemical basis of behavior and etiology of mental illness. \r\n\r\nThis talk will provide a historical exploration of the powerful influence that psychedelics had on prominent researchers whose work on monoamine neurotransmission revolutionized the way we think about the role of neurochemistry in behavior. In parallel, we will examine the often-interwoven influence that psychedelics had on psychiatric researchers, whose search for a psychedelic-like endogenous psychotogen in mental disorders like schizophrenia refocused the field from psychoanalytic explanations to explosive advances in psychopharmacology.\r\n\r\nAbout the Speaker:\r\nNick Denomme, PhD, is a postdoctoral scholar studying the effects of psychedelics on cortical synaptic plasticity and dendritic integration with Drs. Robert Malenka and Boris Heifets at Stanford University. He received a PhD in pharmacology from the University of Michigan and has had a lifelong interest in psychoactive substances as powerful tools to understand how the brain generates the mind.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"142481-21891002@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142481", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Virtual", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Medicine","Neuroscience","Webcast"], "website":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/97773094165", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Psychedelic Center", "group_id":"5451", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142481_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21891002 } , "142123-21891162": { "datetime_modified":"20251210T172120", "datetime_start":"20260115T160000", "datetime_end":"20260115T193000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-01-15", "date_end":"2026-01-15", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"19:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Third Thursday | Late Night at the Kelsey!", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Third Thursday | Late Night at the Kelsey!", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Other", "event_type_id":"22", "description":"The Kelsey Museum is open late!

The talk will take place in the Modern Languages Building, Room 3308, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout the Talk\r\nComposer William Grant Still published an essay in 1939, \u201cA Negro Symphony Orchestra,\u201d imagining the possibilities that could be opened by having an all-Black orchestra of national stature that would be an inspiration to Black youth \u201cand to America as a whole,\u201d and would introduce new energy into classical music by involving musicians skilled in jazz. His dream was consonant with the ideas of W.E.B. DuBois, who in \u201cThe Souls of Black Folk,\u201d argued that classical music played an essential political role in the \u201cuplift\u201d of the race, and nineteenth-century educator James Monroe Trotter, who saw classical music as a means of demonstrating the right of African Americans to participate in American democracy as \u201cfull-fledged citizens.\u201d\r\nThere had been a number of African American orchestras by that time, but just such an ensemble with international ambitions had formed in Harlem in 1938 and incorporated officially as \u201cThe Negro Symphony Orchestra,\u201d curiously under the baton of conductor and composer Ignatz Waghalter (1881-1949), who found himself in New York after fleeing Nazi Germany. Waghalter came from a Warsaw family of Jewish musicians, klezmorim who played weddings and circuses. He had smuggled himself illegally into Germany as a teenager to study classical music and rose to prominence as the director of the Deutsches Opernhaus in Berlin from 1912-23. He also served as a visiting conductor for major institutions from the National Opera in Riga to the New York State Symphony. In New York he joined forces with leading figures in the Harlem Renaissance including James Weldon Johnson, Judge James S. Watson, orchestra manager Leviticus Lyon and conductor A. Jack Thomas to form \u201cThe Negro Symphony Orchestra.\u201d Waghalter composed a choral work with lyrics by Judge Watson called \u201cAmerica, Our Shining Light,\u201d addressing themes of bigotry, racism, anti-immigrant sentiment, and the hope of America. When the orchestra collapsed after the outbreak of World War II, Waghalter was working on a composition specifically for this orchestra, called the \u201cNew World Suite.\u201d This presentation will discuss what archives at Yale and in New York reveal about the orchestra and Waghalter\u2019s collaboration with it.\r\n\r\nAbout David A. Goldfarb\r\nDavid A. Goldfarb is an independent scholar of Polish literature and literary theory, and a literary translator from Polish to English. He produces and hosts the monthly video series \u201cEncounters with Polish and Ukrainian Literature,\u201d supported by the Polish Cultural Institute New York, now entering its sixth year, and is a writer for a documentary film about Polish-Jewish composer Ignatz Waghalter and the Negro Symphony Orchestra in Harlem. His main current translation project is Agata Tuszy\u0144ska\u2019s \u201cThe Black Handbag\u201d and he has a residency from the Polish Book Institute to work on Tuszy\u0144ska\u2019s novel about Bruno Schulz\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, J\u00f3zefina Szeli\u0144ska, in Warsaw this summer. From mid-2010 to the end of 2013, he was Curator of Literature and Humanities Programming at the Polish Cultural Institute in New York, a diplomatic mission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. Prior to that he was an Assistant Professor of Slavic Literatures and Comparative Literature at Barnard College, Columbia University.\r\nHe holds a doctorate in Comparative Literature from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He has published articles on Bruno Schulz, Zbigniew Herbert, Stanis\u0142aw Ignacy Witkiewicz, Mikhail Lermontov, and East European cinema in such journals as \u201cEast European Politics and Societies,\u201d \u201cIndiana Slavic Studies,\u201d \u201cPhilosophy and Literature,\u201d \u201cProoftexts,\u201d \u201cThe Polish Review,\u201d \u201cSlavic and East European Performance,\u201d and \u201cJewish Quarterly,\u201d and he has published book chapters on Jozef Wittlin, Witold Gombrowicz, and Nikolai Gogol and Giuseppe Arcimboldo. He has written the introduction and notes for Tolstoy\u2019s \u201cThe Death of Ivan Ilych\u201d and \u201cOther Stories\u201d and Turgenev\u2019s \u201cFathers and Sons\u201d for the Barnes and Noble Classics series, and for the Penguin Classics edition of \u201cThe Street of Crocodiles and Other Stories\u201d by Bruno Schulz.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143496-21893293@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143496", "building_id":"1000207", "building_name":"Modern Languages Building", "campus_maps_id":"111", "room":"3308", "location_name":"Modern Languages Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["African American","Culture","Music History","Slavic"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Slavic Languages & Literatures", "group_id":"3700", "website":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/umslavic\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143496_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21893293 } }
