When you think of Greek or Roman art, do you imagine beautiful sculpture? Have you always wondered what happened to the noses on ancient sculptures? What about that rumor that sculpture was painted? On this tour, we answer these common questions and explore a variety of Greek and Roman sculptures on display in our permanent galleries. You may be surprised at the variety of materials, subject matters, and styles in the collection!

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

EIHS Symposium: Museum Stories: The Ethics of Collecting (September 14, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54001 54001-13513044@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 14, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

What constitutes rightful ownership of cultural objects? The unprecedented looting of modern wars as well as various protest movements have spawned international regulations, declarations, and efforts that offer guidance in this regard. The extant framework, however, falls short of exhausting the ethical problems raised by artifacts, their histories, and their displays. For museum and university collections these questions have gained the greatest urgency. Our panel offers reflections on this vast terrain; three case studies will follow an opening contribution by one of the foremost experts on restitution, repatriation, and cultural heritage law.

Note: This event counts toward Responsible Conduct in Research and Scholarship (RCRS) training requirements for graduate students in History and possibly other disciplines.

Panelists:
Patty Gerstenblith, Distinguished Research Professor of Law, DePaul University
Raymond Silverman, Professor, History of Art, Afroamerican and African Studies, University of Michigan
Terry G. Wilfong, Director / Curator of Graeco-Roman Egyptian Collections, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, University of Michigan
Yao-Fen You, Associate Curator, European Sculpture and Decorative ArtsDetroit Institute of Arts
Helmut Puff (chair), Elizabeth L. Eisenstein Collegiate Professor of History and Germanic Languages, University of Michigan

Free and open to the public. Lunch provided.

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Delicately painted, this painting shows a design called egg and dart. Oval egg shapes are interspered with vertical lines and painted to give the painting a sense of depth even though it is flat. Brightly colored bands decorate the fragment, which is about the size of an adult's hand, above and below the egg and dart pattern.

“Mythmaking, Memory, and A Sacred Landscape in Republican Rome” (September 20, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54696 54696-13636289@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 20, 2018 4:00pm

Organized By: History of Art

The “Rape of the Sabine Women” and the subsequent Sabine War were considered in ancient Rome one of the most important and formative events in Rome’s early history. While several sites in and around the Forum preserved the memory of specific events in the Sabine War, Dr. Andrews argues that the memory of the Sabine women themselves was rooted in the Subura valley to the east of the Forum.

This talk presents the first chapter from Dr. Andrews' current monograph on the longue durée history of the Subura and its role as the primary locus for an institutional discourse on feminine virtue throughout its pre-modern history. She shows when, how, and why the story of the Sabine Women emerged and, more importantly, how it became anchored in the landscape of the Subura valley through a series of cult sites. She argues that the critical period was the Middle Republic, when the area experienced extensive residential development and became a venue for aristocratic competition. The narrative of the Sabine women was promulgated by victors in the Italian wars of the third century BCE and grafted onto pre-existing sacred sites in the valley, where many of these victors likely lived. This mythmaking in the Middle Republican period is but the first instance of the manipulation of local memory over the long history of the Subura.

When you visit the Kelsey Museum, do you find yourself wondering how the artifacts on display were excavated? What techniques were used in the 1920s versus today? What can an artifact really tell us about the life of someone who lived thousands of years ago and very far away? On this tour, we’ll answer these questions by looking closely at artifacts from the ancient Near East, Greece, Egypt, and Rome. Plus, you don’t want to miss the drone and earth resistance meter on display in Urban Biographies — two pieces of cutting-edge technology used by University of Michigan archaeologists in the field.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance.

The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey.

Comparing Roman Hellenisms (September 28, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52098 52098-12427136@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 28, 2018 2:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: History of Art

Hellenism, defined as the “adoption or imitation of (elements of) the ancient Greek language, culture, philosophy, etc.” (OED) is central to Roman civilization throughout long periods of its history. Consequently many important aspects of Roman culture and society come into sharper focus through examining the specific forms that Roman Hellenism took at different times, in different places, and in different media. These include changes in processes of acculturation at Rome, in how the Romans’ created meaning and identity, in the ways various art forms expressed cultural values, etc. Yet the matter of what scholars do when they compare Roman Hellenisms, and the practical and conceptual issues that such acts of comparison presuppose and raise, have never received a focused study of their own.

The organizers of this conference have sought papers addressing this problem. The conference features an international list of speakers combining major scholars from outside the University with faculty at U-M. It includes researchers working in a variety of fields (archaeology, literature, history, art history) and historical periods (from Rome’s origins to Late Antiquity) so as to encourage the most wide-ranging discussion possible.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

The series explores the differing approaches to the natural word by pagans and the early Christians from Paul and the Gospels to c AD 500. It brings out differing emphases in their respective writings and art and also asks what practical effects such different ways of seeing had.

Lecture 1: Cosmos and Landscape in Pagan and Christian Views of Creation (October 17th)
Pagan and Christian views of Creation, man’s dominance over the beasts and the vegetal world and on modern theories of a shift from a horizontal view of the relation of the natural world and the divine to a vertical view of it, endorsed by Christianity.

Lecture 2: Flowers and the Vegetal World (October 19th)
the understanding and symbolism of plants and flowers in Christian and pagan art, life and thinking, including the idea of ‘paradise’ and erotic and virginal perceptions of gardens, concluding with the gardening of monks and desert Fathers in natural adversity.

Lecture 3: The Hierarchy of Animals (October 22nd)
Anthropocentric views in the Christians’ scriptures, compared with pagan thinkers’ views …and on the hierarchy and symbolism of animals, including cats, in pagan and Christian art and thinking and on their role in both groups’ experience ,especially those of hunters, martyrs and Christian holy men.

Lecture 4: Signs and Catastrophes (October 24th)
Compared pagan and Christian notions of omens and signs, prodigies and miracles and their explanations of natural catastrophes, including volcanic and seismic disasters, still familiar in our world. It will conclude with Christians’ contrasting view of the End of the world and the place of perverted natural symbols in expressing it.

"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."

For over 20 years we've heard those words introducing the popular "Law & Order" series on television. Do those words pertain to the ancient world? Were there written laws and organized court systems in ancient Rome and Egypt? Come to the Kelsey on Saturday, October 20th, to learn the answers to these and other questions. The stories will not be fictional and a few WILL depict an actual person or event.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

The series explores the differing approaches to the natural word by pagans and the early Christians from Paul and the Gospels to c AD 500. It brings out differing emphases in their respective writings and art and also asks what practical effects such different ways of seeing had.

Lecture 1: Cosmos and Landscape in Pagan and Christian Views of Creation (October 17th)
Pagan and Christian views of Creation, man’s dominance over the beasts and the vegetal world and on modern theories of a shift from a horizontal view of the relation of the natural world and the divine to a vertical view of it, endorsed by Christianity.

Lecture 2: Flowers and the Vegetal World (October 19th)
the understanding and symbolism of plants and flowers in Christian and pagan art, life and thinking, including the idea of ‘paradise’ and erotic and virginal perceptions of gardens, concluding with the gardening of monks and desert Fathers in natural adversity.

Lecture 3: The Hierarchy of Animals (October 22nd)
Anthropocentric views in the Christians’ scriptures, compared with pagan thinkers’ views …and on the hierarchy and symbolism of animals, including cats, in pagan and Christian art and thinking and on their role in both groups’ experience ,especially those of hunters, martyrs and Christian holy men.

Lecture 4: Signs and Catastrophes (October 24th)
Compared pagan and Christian notions of omens and signs, prodigies and miracles and their explanations of natural catastrophes, including volcanic and seismic disasters, still familiar in our world. It will conclude with Christians’ contrasting view of the End of the world and the place of perverted natural symbols in expressing it.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

About the Lecture:
This Distinguished University Professor Lecture covers research on a Hellenistic archive discovered recently by a Michigan excavation team at Kedesh, a Graeco-Phoenician site in northern Israel. The discoveries include thousands of seal impressions from delicately carved personal rings. The Kedesh archive is placed in context with the twenty other excavated Hellenistic archives known.

About the Professor:
Sharon Herbert is the Charles K. Williams II Distinguished University Professor of Classical Archaeology in the Department of Classics Studies, and the former Director (1997–2013) of the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. She is a specialist in the Hellenistic Near East, and has (co-)directed excavations at Tel Anafa (1978–86) and Tel Kedesh, Israel (1997–present) and Coptos, Egypt (1987–92).

Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

The Premodern Colloquium. Church, State, and Family in Late Antiquity: The Problem of Women Patrons (December 2, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55103 55103-13687190@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, December 2, 2018 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

While Roman men enjoyed great freedom to dispose of their personal wealth in antiquity, the legal status of women was weaker and the fate of their bequests was often in dispute. Because they were legal minors, women’s donations to the church were especially vulnerable under Roman law, and the late Roman law codes record responses to challenges by family and creditors. As the imperial consistory takes up this litigation, emperors begin to articulate the state’s interest against the claims of the church. Case law thus becomes a driving force both for the definition of women’s legal capacity and an important point of church-state relations. What began as a ‘women’s problem’ gradually redrew the lines between church, state and family and, in significant ways, the boundaries of public and private life in late antiquity.

Readings are circulated approximately two weeks in advance and may be obtained upon request from Terre Fisher, Program Administrator for the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program (MEMS), at telf@umich.edu.

Author's Forum Presents: "Transformations of Ovid in Late Antiquity," A Conversation with Ian Fielding and Peggy McCracken (December 5, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54061 54061-13521825@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 5, 2018 5:30pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

Ian Fielding (classical studies) and Peggy McCracken (French, women's studies, comparative literature) discuss Fielding's new book "Transformations of Ovid in Late Antiquity" followed by Q & A.

About the book:
Ovid could be considered the original poet of late antiquity. In his exile poetry, he depicts a world in which Rome has become a distant memory, a community accessible only through his imagination. This, Ovid claimed, was a transformation as remarkable as any he had recounted in his Metamorphoses. Ian Fielding's book shows how late antique Latin poets referred to Ovid's experiences of isolation and estrangement as they reflected on the profound social and cultural transformations taking place in the fourth, fifth and sixth centuries AD. There are detailed new readings of texts by major figures such as Ausonius, Paulinus of Nola, Boethius and Venantius Fortunatus. For these authors, Fielding emphasizes, Ovid was not simply a stylistic model, but an important intellectual presence. Ovid's fortunes in late antiquity reveal that poetry, far from declining into irrelevance, remained a powerful mode of expression in this fascinating period.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Dissertation Workshop (January 10, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58941 58941-14594965@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 10, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Please join the Nineteenth-Century Forum for a discussion of English PhD candidate Ross Martin's dissertation introduction: "American Demonology after the Ancients."

Abstract: My dissertation introduction, "American Demonology after the Ancients," follows the Demonic as a thread of interest traversing the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and Herman Melville. By Demonic, I mean a primal phenomenon which manifests itself in ontological contradiction as something. (In Emerson, the something is Tragic art; in Fuller, it is Leila; in Thoreau, it is the arrowhead; in Melville, it is the whale.) The ontological paradox through which the Demonic manifests an identity—unity and variety—is not resolved. Rather, by disclosing itself (as a third estate of being) in an insurmountable contrast, the Demonic stages an upheaval in thinking whereby pure difference is affirmed. By inciting affirmation in the context of (Antebellum) Romantic American literature, this account of the Demonic entails the overturning of Platonic demonology, with its negative relation to life. I thus trace two ontological perspectives, the negative and the affirmative, and the associated ethical orientations in the register of demonism. But by reversing Platonism through demonology, American writers imperil the logics dependent upon it, including dialectics and the univocity underlying recent criticism. For these reasons, the shadow discourse that I follow inverts the status of thought and makes Emerson’s seemingly naïve proclamation in Nature (1836), that America is a place for “new thoughts,” a completely serious claim.

Key names: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, Herman Melville, Heraclitus, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Baruch Spinoza, Emanuel Swedenborg, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, and Gilles Deleuze.
Key terms: demonology, affirmation, fate, and rebirth.
Key disciplinary interests: American literature, Romanticism, ecology, animal studies, comparative literature, philosophy, and classics.

'Empires define, reproduce and order difference among their populations. Medicine has aided and abetted these processes in a variety of ways, most famously through its contributions to the establishment of modern ‘scientific racism’. Before that Hippocratic environmentalist paradigms dominated many imperial powers: peoples were made the way they were by location and climate, amongst other externally operative factors, not by something intrinsic to them and transmissible to their offspring without that outside assistance. This lecture explores how these notions worked in the specific context of the Roman Empire, with its particular commitments to hierarchy and structure, its definitional claims and organisational styles. There was congruity, it is argued, between the theories of human differentiation articulated by medical authors such as Galen and key features of the imperial formation within which he lived and wrote.'

Ancient Infertility: Gender, Responsibility and Action, Rebecca Flemming (January 16, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58766 58766-14551073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 16, 2019 10:00am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Women's and Gender Studies Department

Infertility was a major concern in the ancient world, where family continuity was a fundamental aim for all sections of society, an aim pursued in conditions of very high infant mortality. Doctors and divinities, laws and states, all took an interest in encouraging and assisting the production and maintenance of healthy children.

This seminar focuses on a key problematic within this wider field, one with obvious modern resonances. That is the tension between the medical understanding of shared responsibility for the inability of a married couple to produce offspring, that the cause could be the man, the woman, or the combination of the two, and a social and legal framework which was all about his children. It was the husband’s family line that was at stake here. Divorcing a wife who had failed to procreate thus made sense, for example, but was it fair? It might not be her fault, and the obligations of marriage were not solely bound up with the generation of children. But what other courses of action were available? These issues are openly debated in some of the declamations—fictional court speeches—that survive from the Roman Empire, and these will be read alongside some medical material.

MLK 2019: Unraveling Oedipus (January 21, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59725 59725-14780108@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 21, 2019 2:00pm

Organized By: History of Art

Unraveling Oedipus

Sophocles' play, the Oedipus Tyrannus, tells the story of Oedipus' discovery of his identity as the killer of his father and the husband of his mother. As a dramatization of this process of self-discovery, the play shows how an individual goes through a process of unravelling as he realizes that his assumptions about others are unfounded and becomes aware of who he really is as well as the harm that he has caused others.

This event will feature a dramatic reading of excerpts from the play performed by the Black and Brown Community Theater of Detroit. There will also be ample opportunity for discussion of the relation of the play to the theme of this year's MLK Day, namely unravelling our biases and identities in ways that allow us to create a more just and inclusive community. A reception will follow. All members of the university community and the general public are warmly invited to attend.

De-Centering the Global Middle Ages (February 8, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52918 52918-13142328@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 8, 2019 9:00am

Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

De-centering the Global Middle Ages invites researchers to consider scholarly perspectives of the “global turn” of the premodern world, addressing connectivity and mobility of the globe c. 500-1600 CE. What work does the idea of “the medieval” do, and for whom? What do we gain and what do we lose by insisting on a shared notion of the medieval? By conceiving of a more diverse Middle Ages characterized by mobility and connectedness rather than isolation and limited travel? This symposium will explore what the “medieval” means for scholars of various geographic regions, including Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe in hopes of facilitating a dramatic shift in our visions of what it means to do medieval history, and the meaning of global history more broadly.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Laura McClure's diverse research interests focus on Athenian drama, the study of women in the ancient world, and classical reception. Her publications include books on the representation of women in Athenian drama and the courtesan in the Greek literary tradition: Spoken Like a Woman: Speech and Gender in Athenian Drama (Princeton, 1999) and Courtesans at Table: Gender and Greek Literary Culture in Athenaeus (Routledge 2003). She has edited three volumes on the subject of women in antiquity, including Making Silence Speak: Women's Voices in Greek Literature and Society, with André Lardinois (Princeton, 2001), Prostitutes and Courtesans in the Ancient World, with C. A. Faraone (Wisconsin, 2006), and Sexuality and Gender in the Classical World (Blackwell, 2008). She has published numerous articles, most recently an analysis of the role of women in tragic recognition scenes. She is currently completing a textbook about women in ancient Greece and Rome (under contract with Blackwell). Another project on the reception of the Greek chorus is underway. Laura regularly teaches advanced Greek language courses, Women and Gender in the Classical World, Civilization of Ancient Greece, and Ancient Drama in translation.

The Organization of the Construction Industry in Classical Athens (February 26, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60586 60586-14910404@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 26, 2019 4:00pm

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that, contrary to the traditional view, there existed in Athens a regularly organized construction industry, i.e. a fairly stable number of workers who made their living from their skills in this sector.

According to the traditional view, public building in ancient Greece was mostly an occasional and sporadic activity, calling for specialized skills that were beyond the regular demand of any given city. Such being the case, only a small number of local craftsmen could expect to make a living from their skills in this sector when public building projects were not going on and not even such a lively center as Athens could accommodate a large number of builders on a permanent basis. As a result, the construction industry was largely made up of travelling craftsmen, plus the accessory contribution of some local workers who found employment in public building projects only as a subsidiary activity. In other words, the crucial problem that any given city was facing when realizing building projects was not the lack of money but the widespread scarcity of skilled labor to do the job.

However, through a fresh re-examination of the Athenian building accounts of the 5th and 4th c. (e.g. IG I³ 475-476; I.Eleusis 159 and 177), I intend to show that the traditional viewpoint needs to be revised. In particular, the level of horizontal specialization attested in the accounts indicates that the demand for the services of workers whose trade was part of the construction industry (e.g. stonemasons, carpenters, brick masons, etc.) was usually considerable, even in years not characterized by a high density of public projects. In the same way, the pattern of slave ownership and the pay scale of workers suggest that several of them, in particular stonemasons, were usually able to command a sizable volume of business. In addition, building accounts reveal that even in years characterized by a higher density of public projects the construction industry was able to meet the increased demand of the market thanks to the versatility of workers within their own trade and their willingness to establish ad-hoc partnerships with other colleagues in order to carry out more onerous jobs.

All this, in my opinion, points to the existence, in classical Athens, of a regularly organized construction industry, i.e. not made up only of travelling craftsmen and occasional workers, and speaks against the traditional idea that the shortage of skilled labor was one of the main challenge of public construction programs.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Origins of the Italian Renaissance (March 12, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59005 59005-14642672@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 12, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Most people, if asked about the Italian Renaissance, would respond with something about Leonardo di Vinci or Michelangelo. But from where did these artists get their ideas and who hired them to create their masterpieces?
This class will introduce students to the art and literature of what is called the proto-Renaissance of the 14th and early 15th centuries. We will take a look at Dante’s Divine Comedy, Petrarch and the origins of the Italian sonnet and Boccaccio’s Decameron, the introduction of which is the only contemporary account of the Plague. The background for all of these accomplishments was the rise of the merchant class and the social and economic repercussions of the arrival of plague in 1347.
Be ready for a little homework so you can come prepared to discuss and ask questions. This Study Group led by Susan Nenadic is for those 50 and over and will meet Tuesdays, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m., March 12 - April 9.

CLIFF 2019: Cartographies of Silence, 23rd Annual Comparative Literature Intra-student Faculty Forum (March 15, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58374 58374-14491981@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 15, 2019 9:00am

Cartographies of Silence: A Conference for Readers and Writers
23rd Annual CLIFF Conference
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
March 15-16, 2019
Keynote Speaker: Professor Irena Klepfisz

It was an old theme even for me:Language cannot do everything– -- Adrienne Rich, “Cartographies of Silence”

Silence is not an absence, but is charged with meaning and action. To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive, in the text, in the subject, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?

Professor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx, where she attended public schools, a Yiddish shule, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism, Israeli/Palestinian peace, Jewish identity, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture.

Klepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays), and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).
