Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The reinstallation of UMMA’s Apse, called “Collection Ensemble” highlights the breadth and variety of the Museum’s collection and juxtaposes works of art from different artists, periods, areas, and media. The installation is organized around a very large photograph of a Baroque church by Candida Höfer. From this centerpiece, the works of art are grouped in scenes or distinctive vignettes comprised of a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media. The reinstallation doesn’t adhere to either chronological or geographic boundaries. Curated by Vera Grant, UMMA’s Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. Of this installation, she says: “The exhibition recasts the role of the collection as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation. The arrangements remind us that works of art can change in meaning and affect when placed in new contexts.” Join an docent to explore and interpret this exciting new project.

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Agnieszka Holland and Kasia Adamik, directors. In Polish with English subtitles (128 min., 2017).

Duszejko, an eccentric retired construction engineer, an astrologist and a vegetarian, lives in a small mountain village on the Czech-Polish border. One day her beloved dogs disappear. A few months later she discovers a dead body of her neighbour, a poacher. The only traces leading to the mysterious death are those of roe deer hooves around the house…

As time goes by, more grisly killings are discovered. The victims, all hunters, belonged to the local elite. The police investigation proves ineffective. Duszejko has her own theory: all murders were committed by wild animals…

Please join us for a free film screening of "Spoor" and Central European treats to celebrate Polish author Olga Tokarczuk's 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature.

"Spoor" was adapted from Olga Tokarczuk's novel "Drag Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead." We will give away a limited number of free copies of the book to the first guests through the door.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews opened its core exhibition less than five years ago, but it has already attracted millions of visitors and massive and favorable media attention both in Poland and internationally, and earned the major European museum awards. However, since it opposed the so-called Holocaust complicity law in early 2018 and organized a large public program for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 “anti-Zionist campaign” in communist Poland, it has become an object of media attacks and criticism by the government. This lecture will present the processes that had led to the establishment of the museum and its remarkable success. It will examine how these processes have changed under a culture war dividing the country; a tendency for expansive government control; and a memory policy, which rejects critical coming to terms with difficult pasts as a “pedagogy of shame” and calls for a glorious vision of national history, focusing on heroism and victimhood.

Dariusz Stola is a historian and professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He has published ten books and more than 100 articles on the history of Polish-Jewish relations, the Holocaust, international migrations and communist regime, as well as on Polish debates about these pasts. In 2014-2019, he was the Polin Museum director.

It is a commonplace to turn to Book 6 of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics to find out what the ancient Greeks thought about practical judgment or phronesis. There is good reason for this: Aristotle’s is the lengthiest account of phronesis. We regularly fail to note, however, the importance of phronesis in epicureanism. He will explore how Epicurus’s conception of phronesis differs from Aristotle’s. He will also indicate how Epicurus’s conception influences political discourse in early modernity in materialists such as Machiavelli and Spinoza. Finally, he will indicate how the exclusion of Epicurus’s conception of phronesis in early twentieth century, for instance by Heidegger, resulted in the invention of a politics beyond instrumentality and calculation as a way of repressing the materialism of practical judgment.

Dimitris Vardoulakis is the deputy chair of Philosophy at Western Sydney University. He is the author of The Doppelgänger: Literature’s Philosophy (2010), Sovereignty and its Other: Toward the Dejustification of Violence (2013), Freedom from the Free Will: On Kafka’s Laughter (2016), Stasis Before the State: Nine Theses on Agonistic Democracy (2018), and Authority and Utility: On Spinoza’s Epicureanism (forthcoming in 2020).

*The juxtaposition of fragments creates original, unexpected, and often surrealist images that unlock a new imaginary universe.*

Stasys Eidrigevičius, often referred to simply as “Stasys,” was born in Mediniskiai, Lithuania in 1949. He studied at the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Warsaw in 1980 where he established a reputation as a world-renowned artist.

The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer.

In the midst of Red and Black, one of Stendhal's characters makes a declaration, which can serve as an emblem of the 19th century: “All prudence must be renounced! This century was born to overwhelm everything! We are marching into chaos.” Dialogues in Contemporary Thought VII | On the 19th Century, endeavors to contribute to our understanding of this era, through the work of Profs. Tilottama Rajan and Lucy Hartley, who will present two papers: “Elements of Life: Organizing the Work of John Hunter,” and “Poverty, Progress, and Practicable Socialism: Henrietta Barnett, 1851-1936,” respectively.

EIHS Lecture: The Truth of Place in Cities of the Habsburg Monarchy (November 7, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63590 63590-15808571@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 7, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

How is “historical truth” inscribed or obscured in the material presence of cities? While much of East Central Europe belonged for centuries to the empire known from 1867 until its demise in 1918 as Austria-Hungary, various agendas of this vast realm’s successor states were chiefly opposed to preserving its memory. And yet, traces of this past are more integral to the present reality of these cities than they at first appear. Parallel examples of a few cities from Ukraine to Romania to Italy will open questions of how contemporary subjects relate to their place in space and time, and of the landscape of memory and forgetting.

Scott Spector (PhD, The Johns Hopkins University, 1994) is the Rudolf Mrázek Collegiate Professor of History and German Studies at the University of Michigan He is a cultural and intellectual historian of modern central Europe, specializing in Habsburg and Jewish culture. He is the author of Prague Territories: National Conflict and Cultural Innovation in Franz Kafka's Fin de Siècle (University of California Press, 2000); Violent Sensations: Sexuality, Crime, and Utopia in Vienna and Berlin, 1860-1914 (University of Chicago Press, 2016), and Modernism without Jews? German-Jewish Subjects and Histories (University of Indiana, 2017). He serves on the editorial board of the journal Jewish Social Studies as well as the series Nexus: Essays in German Jewish Studies and the book series Social History, Popular Culture, and Politics in Germany at the University of Michigan Press. He is currently working on a manuscript on the layers of historical traces in cities of the former Habsburg Empire, a project he has been researching in the past year as a DAAD visiting professor in Potsdam and a visiting fellow at the Institut für Wissenschaften vom Menschen (IWM) in Vienna.

Free and open to the public.

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

After the fall of communism, Eastern Europeans enjoyed a deep sense of freedom and engagement, convinced that profound social and political change was underway. In 1990s Poland, boundary-pushing artists like Artur Żmijewski played an active role in shaping the new reality. As time progressed, however, the promise of transformative change was revealed to be illusory, and the communists' dominant style of politics persisted. Art became a target for political attacks because of its critical stance toward the Catholic Church and “wild” capitalism.

How should artists react in this increasingly authoritarian situation? Resist? Adapt? Or perhaps create a sort of hybrid position? In this lecture, Żmijewski will discuss the relationship between his art and political engagement in the context of the past thirty years.

Artur Żmijewski was born in Warsaw in 1966. He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Professor Grzegorz Kowalski. A multimedia artist, he uses primarily photography and film to explore the line between fiction and documentary. Żmijewski is also an accomplished curator and art critic. He is one of the founding members of the art journal "Czereja," serves as the artistic editor of "Krytyka Polityczna," and directed the 7th Berlin Biennale. In 1995, Żmijewski was a fellow at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam; he received the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Per L'Arte Prize for his work "An Eye for an Eye." In 2005, his “Repetition” was shown in the Polish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and two years later his film *Them* was screened at Documenta in Kassel. Żmijewski also participated in the 14th edition of Documenta, presenting his films *Glimpse* and *Realism*. From 2007-2008, he was a DAAD Artist in Residence in Berlin where he prepared his project “Democracies.” In 2010 he received the Ordway Prize from the New Museum in New York and Creative Link for the Arts. Żmijewski's films can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Tate Modern in London, the Rubell Family Foundation in Miami, Zachęta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, Erste Bank Collection in Vienna, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.

Most analyses of authoritarian regimes focus on what makes these regimes either durable or vulnerable to collapse. This roundtable shifts our focus to how authoritarian regimes adapt and confront crises arising from forces that are largely beyond their control: e.g. external sanctions, urbanization, financial downturns, and rapid technological change.

Dan Slater is the Ronald and Eileen Weiser Professor of Emerging Democracies, professor of political science, and WCED Director at the University of Michigan. He specializes in the politics and history of enduring dictatorships and emerging democracies, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia. His research interests include comparative politics, international relations, world politics, and methodology.

Andrea Kendall-Taylor is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Transatlantic Security Program at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). She works on national security challenges facing the United States and Europe, focusing on Russia, populism and threats to democracy, and the state of the Transatlantic alliance. Prior to joining CNAS, Andrea served for eight years as a senior intelligence officer. From 2015 to 2018, she was Deputy National Intelligence Officer for Russia and Eurasia at the National Intelligence Council (NIC) in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Prior to joining the NIC, Andrea was a senior analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) where she worked on Russia and Eurasia, the political dynamics of autocracies, and democratic decline. Andrea is also an adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. Her work has been published in numerous political science and policy journals, including the Journal of Peace Research, Democratization, Journal of Democracy, Foreign Affairs, the Washington Post, the Washington Quarterly, and Foreign Policy. Andrea received her B.A. in politics from Princeton University and her Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles. She was a Fulbright scholar in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, where she conducted dissertation research on oil and autocracy.

Victor C. Shih is Ho Miu Lam Chair Professor in China and Pacific Relations at the University of California at San Diego specializing in China. He is the author of a book published by the Cambridge University Press entitled “Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation.” It is the first book to inquire the linkages between elite politics and banking policies in China. His second book, “Economic Shocks and Authoritarian Stability,” will be published by the University of Michigan Press. He is further the author of numerous articles appearing in academic and business journals, including The American Political Science Review, The China Quarterly, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Politics, The Wall Street Journal and The China Business Review, and frequent adviser to the financial community.

Medieval Lunch. A Mediterranean Ecumene: Intellectual Contacts and Networks in the Late Medieval Mediterranean. (November 13, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68087 68087-17009816@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2019 12:00pm

The Turkish Mediterranean lived and breathed with the same rhythms as the Christian, that the whole sea shared a common destiny, a heavy one indeed, with identical problems and general trends if not identical consequences.
—Fernand Braudel, The Mediterranean

His theoretical concerns aside, Braudel’s conceptualization of the Mediterranean in the sixteenth century was based on geography, economy, and society in a path-breaking way. This presentation proposes a cultural and intellectual oecumene within the Eastern Mediterranean basin in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Although it seemed politically divided, the Eastern Mediterranean’s idiosyncratic commonalities within its intellectual context transcended all boundaries that were imagined in political spheres, including those of the Byzantines, Mamluks, and Ottomans as well as the Renaissance Italians.

This presentation will investigate the activities and oeuvre of scholars in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and their networks across the Mediterranean. In line with this purpose, I will focus on three scholars, Gemistus Pletho (d. 1452), Abd al-Rahman al-Bistami (d. 1455), and Bedreddin of Simavna (d. 1420) who were representative of those complex and multivalent networks as well as members of clandestine scholarly organizations. While mapping out their scholarly network, this presentation also hopes to point to a textual relationship through intercommunal discussions, especially that between Platonism and Aristotelianism. In doing so, it aims to offer fresh insights on intellectual history that go beyond limitations imposed by traditional methodologies, unquestioned genres, and undisputed literary and linguistic traditions.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Brown Bag: "Henry Clinton and British Strategy in the American Revolutionary War" (November 14, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68504 68504-17090629@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 14, 2019 12:00pm
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In this Brown Bag lunch talk, Huw Davies will discuss his current research at the Clements Library as recipient of the Howard H. Peckham Fellowship. His research focuses on re-evaluating the history of the British Army in Colonial and Revolutionary America, India, and Europe, 1750-1850.

In the space of seven decades between 1740 and 1810, the British Army fought wars on four continents, producing a unique accumulation of knowledge, experience and ideas about tactics, operations and strategy. Henry Clinton was at the centre of this knowledge network, and had vociferous opinions about how Britain should use its military power.

Davies will present a paper, using research conducted at the Clements Library, to illustrate Clinton’s thinking on war and how he influenced the direction of the British Army. Attendees are welcome to bring a lunch and eat during the presentation.

A Population Studies Center Brown Bag Seminar.

Fertility and mortality trends are the most fundamental determinants of human populations, and Western industrialized countries have witnessed notable changes in these patterns in recent decades: fertility rates have declined, and life expectancy has continued to increase. While demographers and other social scientists have explored the broad implications of population aging, less well understood are the individual-level consequences of conjoint changing fertility and mortality patterns. In particular, there is limited information about the extent to which life courses overlap today versus in prior decades and the implications of such. In this paper, we provide new evidence about generational overlap between grandparents and grandchildren using population register data from Denmark. We describe changing patterns of grandparents being alive-and life expectancy-at grandchildren's birth. Then, we evaluate differences in these patterns by socioeconomic status. These findings have implications for the transmission of inequality, as well as resource demands on governments.

Between Life and Death: The Cultural Politics of Modern Spanish Medicine, 1770-1808 (November 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67229 67229-16828980@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 21, 2019 4:00pm

In 1770, Charles III of Spain issued a royal decree to overhaul the university system throughout his kingdom. As part of this overhaul, a range of reforms were instituted to modernize anatomical and medical studies thereby placing Spanish science on a more secure footing with the rest of Europe. During this period of transformation, the study of life and death and the emergence of new developments in the practice of resuscitation opened promising avenues of research for exploring the wonders of the human body. Yet, as Fernández-Medina will argue through the work of some of Spain’s foremost physicians and thinkers, it also sparked one of the fiercest debates in the Spanish Enlightenment on the expansion of scientific knowledge and its role in modern society.

Professor Fernández-Medina specializes in late eighteenth- to early twentieth-century Spanish literature, philosophy, and intellectual history, including Enlightenment thought, philosophy of science and the body, social history of ideas in medicine, modernist aesthetics, and the avant-garde.

He is the author of Life Embodied: The Promise of Vital Force in Spanish Modernity (McGill-Queen’s UP, 2018), Modernism and the Avant-garde Body in Spain and Italy (co-edited with Maria Truglio, New York: Routledge, 2016), and The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado’s ‘Proverbios y cantares’ (U of Wales P, 2011). His current book, Raising the Dead: The Science and Literature of Resuscitation in Spain explores Spanish modernity’s unending fascination with the life/death divide and analyzes the numerous social narratives of existence and mortality that have shaped Spain’s cultural imaginary.

In Russia, like everywhere, graduate students are not free from anxiety about their future career. Did I make the right choice by investing years into studying an obscure subject that few people are interested in? Am I really good at it? Will I get an academic job? And what else can you do with a Ph. D. in the humanities today? And if I get an academic job, will it pay enough for me to survive – and if not, how can I complement my income using my skills and knowledge?

Two distinguished scholars from top Russian graduate schools will tell us about exciting careers and opportunities that their graduate students have created for themselves. They include creating archive collections, developing web-based education projects, starting theater and ballet companies, advising city administration and many other endeavors. This event is specifically addressed to graduate students in the humanities who are thinking about expanding their professional horizon beyond academia

The emergence of the yellow vests movement, its rapid extension, its endurance, and its popularity have been a source of surprise and confusion among politicians as well as commentators. Whereas it was initially viewed as a mere reaction to an increase in fuel tax, it soon appeared to be a broader protest against the policies led by Emmanuel Macron regarded as deepening economic inequalities. Instead of responding to the claim to more social justice, the government first expressed contempt but soon used repression, the violence of which caused hundreds of severely wounded. Characterized by a unique repertoire of action, an unusual combination of social groups and a grassroots organization without clear leaders, the mobilization challenged traditional forms of democratic representation. While it is too early to assess its long-term signification, it has however revealed the resistance of the “classes populaires” to authoritarian neoliberalism.

Didier Fassin is professor of social science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. A physician, sociologist, and anthropologist, he has conducted research in various countries on issues related to inequality and immigration. His recent works are ethnographies of the police, the justice system and the prison institution as well as on the idea of crisis.

Anne-Claire Defossez is researcher in social sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. A sociologist, she was previously a public manager heading the administration of two large cities in the Paris region. Her current work is about women’s participation in local politics and about the crisis of democratic representation in France.

Medieval Lunch. Architectural Representations in Late Medieval Donor Portraits (December 4, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68089 68089-17009818@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 4, 2019 12:00pm

Votive images of donors holding an architectural model appear in a variety of media spanning the entire Middle Ages. Although related to western European examples (examined by E. S. Klinkenberg in Compressed Meanings 2009, among others), the church models in late medieval votive paintings in the Byzantine-Slavic cultural spheres offer new insights into the multiplicity of meanings and functions of such architectural representations.

This talk focuses on several case studies from regions of the Balkans and the Carpathians that reveal the varied systems of signification of church models as they appear in votive murals, usually located in the naos of churches. These images show facets of the actual structures and the processes of decoration of the edifices. For example, in the Moldavian context, the church model is never shown with the rich exterior mural cycles that cover entirely the exterior of the churches. Instead, the focus is on select architectural features and the symbolic functions of the edifice in its representational form.

In examining the iconographic details of these image types, and in considering the multitude of their meanings and functions in their specific contexts of display, I argue that such architectural representations were carefully calibrated to give visual expression to local concerns related to patronage, salvation, and memory, as well as, on a larger scale, to the formation of new sacred landscapes in Eastern Europe for which Orthodox Christianity with its rich spatial and visual manifestations served as a defining force in the later medieval period.

Collection Ensemble (December 5, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 68063-16988438@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 5, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Writing Migration Through the Body (January 13, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/69615 69615-17368338@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 13, 2020 11:30am
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Workshop
11:30am - 1:00pm
RLL Commons (4th floor), Modern Languages Building

Lecture
4:30pm - 6:00pm
RLL Commons (4th floor), Modern Languages Building

Migration is embodied movement, and the effects of migration are felt bodily. Bodies also populate creative art and fiction responses to contemporary migration and provide an interpretative key for how we might think about the transnational experience of mobility. In this talk Dr. Bond will present her 2018 monograph "Writing Migration through the Body," which draws on a range of texts and visual art that link Italy to other sites of migration and diaspora. It argues that the individual bodies that move in contemporary migration flows are the primary agents through which the transcultural passages of images, emotions, ideas, memories – and also histories and possible futures – are enacted.

Emma Bond is Reader (Associate Professor) in Italian and Comparative Literature at the University of St Andrews, UK. She has published widely on border and migration literature ("Writing Migration through the Body," 2018; "Destination Italy: Representing Migration in Contemporary Media and Narrative," 2015), and on Trieste and psychoanalysis ("Disrupted Narratives: Illness, Silence and Identity in Svevo, Pressburger and Morandini," 2012; "Freud and Italian Culture," 2009). Emma is founding co-Editor of the ‘Transnational Italian Cultures’ book series (Liverpool University Press) and founding section Editor for Comparative Literature for "Modern Languages Open." Her current book project is on "Re-Collecting Empire: Transnational Modes of Collecting, Curating and Display." Emma has held fellowships at the School of Advanced Study, London; Bogliasco Foundation, and the Wolfsonian-FIU. She was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize for her outstanding contribution to the field of Languages and Literatures in 2019.

For interested graduate students: Please RSVP to Giulia Ricco (gricco@umich.edu) for a lunch workshop (January 13th, 11:30-1:00) with Dr. Emma Bond dedicated to rewriting colonial history from a female perspective, looking at works by Igiaba Scego, Nadifa Mohamed and Maaza Mengiste.

This is event is free and open to the public. Sponsored by: Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, Department of Comparative Literature, Women's Studies Department, Center for European Studies, Program in International & Comparative Studies, and the LSA Dean's Office.

CREES Noon Lecture. Lethal Provocations: Anti-Jewish Violence in French Algeria and Ukraine (January 22, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70626 70626-17611207@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 22, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Jeffrey Veidlinger and Joshua Cole will discuss Prof. Cole's new book, *Lethal Provocation: The Constantine Murders and the Politics of French Algeria,* with Prof. Veidlinger offering his expertise on Ukrainian pogroms for a comparative perspective.

Part murder mystery, part social history of political violence, *Lethal Provocation* is a forensic examination of the deadliest peacetime episode of anti-Jewish violence in modern French history. It reconstructs the 1934 riots in Constantine, Algeria, in which tensions between Muslims and Jews were aggravated by right-wing extremists, resulting in the deaths of twenty-eight people.

Animating the unrest was Mohamed El Maadi, a soldier in the French army. Later a member of a notorious French nationalist group that threatened insurrection in the late 1930s, El Maadi became an enthusiastic supporter of France's Vichy regime in World War II, and finished his career in the German SS. The book cracks the "cold case" of El Maadi's participation in the events, revealing both his presence at the scene and his motives in provoking violence at a moment when the French government was debating the rights of Muslims in Algeria. Local police and authorities came to know about the role of provocation in the unrest and killings and purposely hid the truth during the investigation that followed. *Lethal Provocation* brings into high relief the cruelty of social relations in the decades before the war for Algerian independence.

Joshua Cole is professor of history at the University of Michigan, where he specializes in the social and cultural history of France in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is the author of *Lethal Provocation: The Constantine Murders and the Politics of French Algeria* (2019) and *The Power of Large Numbers: Population, Politics, and Gender in Nineteenth-Century France* (2000), as well as articles on colonial violence and the politics of memory in France, Algeria, and Germany. He is also the author, with Carol Symes, of *Western Civilizations* (20th ed., 2019).

Jeffrey Veidlinger is Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies and director of the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the author of the award-winning books *The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage* (2000), *Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire* (2009), and *In the Shadow of the Shtetl: Small-Town Jewish Life in Soviet Ukraine* (2013). Prof. Veidlinger is a vice president of the Association for Jewish Studies, associate chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History, and a member of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He is currently working on a book about the pogroms of the Russian Civil War.

Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Dr. Yevgenia M. Albats, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of the Moscow-based “New Times” and a radio host with more than 40 years experience with Soviet, Russian and international media, will give a lecture on the rise and fall of the Russian free press over the last 30 years. Despite perestroika and the collapse of the Berlin Wall, censorship has since returned and the once-famous Russian TV networks have turned back into Soviet-style propaganda machines. The few independent media outlets that remain are struggling to survive in the absence of advertising and financial support, while under pressure from the omnipotent state.

Dr. Yevgenia M. Albats is a Russian investigative journalist, political scientist, author and radio host. Since 2007, she has served as Political Editor and is now Editor-in-Chief and CEO of “The New Times,” a Moscow-based, Russian language independent political weekly. The New Times is digital-only as of June of 2017, when Russian authorities severed its distribution and sales.
Since 2004, Dr. Albats has hosted “Absolute Albats,” a talk show on “Echo Moskvy,” the only remaining liberal radio station in Russia. Albats was an Alfred Friendly Press Fellow assigned to the “Chicago Tribune” in 1990, and a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University in 1993. She graduated from Moscow State University in 1980, and received her Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University in 2004. She has been a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) since its founding in 1996.
Albats taught at Yale from 2003 to 2004 and was a full-time professor at the Moscow-based university The Higher School of Economics, where she taught institutional theory of the state and bureaucracy until her courses were canceled at the request of top Kremlin officials in 2011. In 2017 Albats was chosen as an inaugural fellow at Kelly’s Writers House and Perry House at the University of Pennsylvania. Albats is the author of four books, including one on the history of the Russian political police, the KGB, whose graduates are running the country today. Yevgenia Albats is the inaugural International Institute Distinguished Faculty Fellow for 2019-2020 in partnership with the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (CREES) at the University of Michigan.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

“Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” is well-known as the stirring slogan of the French Revolution. In this study group, by means of an examination of the life and thought of pre-revolutionary visionary Jean-Jacques Rousseau and of the major events of the Revolution itself, we will reflect upon and wrestle with the internal tensions and, indeed, contradictions embodied in this slogan. To what extent, for example, does the quest for liberty impinge upon the longing for equality, and vice versa? To what degree, moreover, does the craving for fraternity compromise the desire for both liberty and equality? Instructor Barry Shapiro is a French revolutionary scholar and Emeritus Professor of History, Allegheny College, Meadville, PA. Classes will meet on Tuesdays from January 28 through March 31.

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Quartering the British Army in Revolutionary America (February 11, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71155 71155-17783465@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 11, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In the decades before the Revolution, British soldiers were a common sight in America. They lived in private houses in Trenton, marched up Broadway in New York, and came to blows with colonists in Boston. What was it like to live in this world?

Drawing on his new book "Quarters: The Accommodation of the British Army and the Coming of the American Revolution" (which he largely researched at the Clements Library), John McCurdy explains how the colonists made room for redcoats by reimagining places like home, city, and empire. They insisted on a right to privacy in their houses and civilian control of troops stationed in their cities, both of which they achieved through the Quartering Act. McCurdy also explores how protests by the Sons of Liberty and events like the Boston Massacre caused the civilian-martial comity to unravel such that Americans ultimately declared the “quartering of large bodies of armed troops among us” to be a reason for independence.

This lecture is presented in collaboration with the U-M Eisenberg Institute, which supported McCurdy's work on this book through a Residency Research Grant. John G. McCurdy is Professor of History and Philosophy at Eastern Michigan University.

CREES Noon Lecture. Terroir, Ecological Stewardship, and Heritage Politics in the Bulgarian Wine Industry (February 12, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71275 71275-17794081@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 12, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Bulgaria is arguably one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, and built a large, highly industrialized and export-oriented wine sector during state socialism as a wine-producing specialist of COMECON (the economic alliance of Soviet allies). When socialism collapsed in 1989, the wine industry faced multiple challenges, including the accepted international hierarchy of wine-producing countries through which Bulgarian wines then became understood and marketed. In this talk, I examine the contestations over the idea of *terroir* (a taste of place) among Bulgarian wine professionals to understand how wine is involved in heritage projects. As new resources and opportunities became available through EU heritage politics in which wine traditions became a central piece of the heritage industry and of agricultural and rural development, these debates highlight diverse meanings of ecological stewardship in light of heritage preservation. Understanding wine as a cultural heritage raises important questions of whose and which past is worthy of preservation, and why. The tensions within the Bulgarian wine industry, namely reconciling the cultural pride of winemaking heritage with a competitive hierarchical global wine market, illustrate the multi-faceted aspects of culture, ecology, and politics in the era of post-Cold War globalization.

Yuson Jung is associate professor of anthropology at Wayne State University. Her research explores issues of consumption, food politics, globalization, and postsocialism. She is the author of "Balkan Blues: Consumer Politics after State Socialism" (Indiana University Press, 2019) which examines everyday consumer experience in postsocialist Bulgaria. She has also co-edited (with Jakob Klein and Melissa Caldwell) "Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist World" (University of California Press, 2014). Currently, she is working on a book project entitled "The Cultural Politics of Wine: Globalization, Heritage, and the Transformation of the Bulgarian Wine Industry," as well as on a collaborative research project (with Andrew Newman) regarding food politics and urban governance in Detroit.

This lecture is part of the WCEE environment series.

CREES Noon Lecture. The Environmental Impacts of Mass Housing in Post-Socialist Europe (February 26, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70637 70637-17611220@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 26, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

The goal of this lecture is to explore mass housing in the cities of post-socialist Europe and its impacts on the environment. The lecture focuses on the scale of post-socialist mass housing, its inhabitants as users of the living environment, and the challenges of urban renewal, which are increasing the environmental impacts on cities. The presentation will analyze these environmental changes, which began in the cities of post-socialist Europe after 1989 and the post-Soviet urban environment after 1991. The challenges of inhabitants’ participation and urban renewal strategies have slowed urban development. Professor Chabanyuk argues that during the last three decades of post-socialist transition, the living environment of prefabricated mass housing has faced redevelopment challenges due to socio-political and economic change. This question requires efficient and sustainable responses in order to consider the environmental impacts in future urban change.

Oksana Chabanyuk is an associate professor of architecture at Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Ukraine. For the 2019-20 academic year she is a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the University of Michigan. Her research at CREES and the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia focuses on the contribution of American specialists to the development of industry and cities in 1920-30s Eastern Ukraine. Dr. Chabanyuk’s academic interests include standardization and early industrialization in the USSR, influence of foreign specialists, prefabrication in industry and housing, post-socialist housing, social housing, and regeneration of residential areas. She is an architect and received her bachelor’s degree in architecture, MA in urban planning (2000), and PhD at the National University Lviv Polytechnic, Ukraine (2004). Her dissertation was entitled “Regeneration of the Residential Environment of High-rise Housing Areas of the 1970-80s (Lviv Case Study).” She has participated in various international competitions, programs, and workshops including: exchange study at Coventry University, UK (1996); Visiting Teachers Program at the AA School of Architecture, London (2010); visiting researcher at the University of Lisbon, Portugal (2014-15); visiting staff at the Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland (2015); and Lublin University of Technology, Poland (2016-18). Professor Chabanyuk has also participated at international conferences, roundtables and seminars in Germany, Portugal, Austria, Poland, UK, USA, and Ukraine.

What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Early Medieval Cities? (February 27, 2020 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72230 72230-17963868@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 27, 2020 5:00pm

Organized By: Department of History

Abstract: More than 30 years ago, a debate that took place in the journal Archeologia Medievale marked a turning print in the study of post-Roman urbanism. The subject was: can we consider Europe's late antique and early medieval cities as "proper" cities? After some decades, and many archaeological investigations, our perception of this subject has become much different from that pioneering starting point. Are "discontinuity" or "continuity" (in respect to the past) still useful terms to label that segment of European urban history? The presentation will explore the most recent data and discuss new perspectives on urban landscapes during late antiquity and the early middle ages. 

Andrea Augenti has taught medieval archaeology at the University of Bologna since 2000. He has carried out investigations in many Italian sites and directed the excavation of the monastery of San Severo in Classe (Ravenna). Andrea Augenti is also editor of the journal Archeologia Medievale and member of the International Advisory Board of the journal Medieval Archaeology. He is a member of Scientific Committee of the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum (Rome) and of the RavennAntica Foundation. He is the author of several publications, including Archeologia dell'Italia medievale (2016) and A come Archeologia (2018).

Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.
