Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text (September 29, 2017 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41145 41145-8983783@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 29, 2017 1:30pm

Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text
2017 Graduate Student Conference
Germanic Languages & Literatures at the University of Michigan
September 29-30
Keynote Speaker: Sean Franzel (University of Missouri)
Presented in Conjunction with the Ann​ual Grilk Lecture: Celia Applegate (Vanderbilt)

During the 1980s German media theorist Friedrich Kittler published a series of highly influential books and essays outlining a materialist approach to literary and cultural history, one freed from hermeneutic fantasies of immediacy and focused instead on the medial conditions that made thought possible in the first place, the hardware that enabled it to be recorded, processed, and transmitted. Over the last few decades, scholars in German, Film, Music, and Literary Studies, and beyond, have continued to expand on Kittler’s initial insights into the material nature of sound, image, and text, and the medial operations they entail. Both borrowing from and looking beyond Kittler, this conference seeks to explore productive points of contact between contemporary media theory, on the one hand, and the literary and cultural histories of mediation, remediation, and intermediation, on the other.

From Herder’s origins of language and Kant’s public sphere to Nazi propaganda and Siegert’s Kulturtechniken​ , media and mediation have remained central concepts for understanding German modernities. Social and political transformations, in conjunction with technological innovations around 1800/1900/2000 exerted pressure on​ ​existing notions of sound, image, and text and vice versa: this feedback loop serves as the springboard for our conference, “Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text.”

Sean Franzel of the University of Missouri will give the conference keynote address on Friday afternoon, September 29. Preceding the conference, participants will also have the opportunity to attend the annual Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies, given by Celia Applegate, on Thursday evening, September 28. Professor Applegate will conduct a workshop for University of Michigan graduate students and conference participants on Friday morning.

Modernism and the Little Glass Dress (October 19, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45527 45527-10217630@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 19, 2017 4:00pm

Preceding the Little Black Dress was another aesthetic, less noticeable if only by virtue of its material properties: The Little Glass Dress. This aesthetic exploited the female body’s relation to its environment in terms that were literally transparent: beginning with aisthesis as an opportunity for architectural display, but extending its relationship to encasement in multiple forms. This talk contends that the Little Glass Dress begins with the evolution of the department store, glimpsed through Zola’s 1883 novel The Ladies’ Paradise, and continues through to incarnations ranging from the late 19th century Manet painting A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. It then jumps into the 20th century through the looking glass of Coco Chanel’s mirrored atelier staircase, and runs alongside the avant-garde Italian couturière Elsa Schiaparelli and some later 20th and 21st century contemporary artists and couturiers. In all, we see what feminist scholars have tracked as “the opacity of femininity” take the shape of an increasingly less protean mode: one that cuts increasingly closer if not to the bone, then to that scrim where world stops and skin begins.

As the film unfolds, one single, mesmerizing shot of a refugee boat adrift in the vast blue sea, a web of stories unfolds and worlds intersect and collide. Against the flood of news images about the refugee crisis, Collision radically redirects our imagination of Europe to a set of coordinates in the Mediterranean Sea.

Based on the same research and Merle Kröger’s book by the same title (reading Oct 18 at 7pm at Literati bookstore.)

HAVARIE premiered at the 2016 Berlin Film Festival and won the German Film Critics Award for Best Experimental Film 2016, the arte-documentary award at the Duisburger Filmwoche, Best international feature film at L'Alternativa Barcelona, Best editing in an international feature at RIDM - Montreal international documentary festival, and special mention for the Prix Georges de Beauregard at the Festival International de Cinéma in Marseille.

Jessica Burstein joins us for a conversation about visual culture and interdisciplinary methodologies with Xiaobing Tang (Asian Languages and Cultures), Andrea Zemgulys (English), Megan Berkobien (Comparative Literature), Grant Mandarino (Art History), and Amanda Greene (English)


Jessica Burstein is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Washington who works on modernism, fashion, the avant-garde, and prosthetics. Her area of expertise is British literature from the late 19th century through the 1960s, and its West European contexts. She has taught graduate courses on fashion and modernism, the middlebrow, and introductions to modernism. Undergraduate courses range from large lecture introductions to the English major; to smaller seminars on boredom, wandering women, contemporary fiction, blood, privacy, and "Excellent Women"--the latter part of an ongoing interest in domestic fictions and under-read female British writers of the 1910s-1960s. Professor Burstein also teaches modern novel courses, some focusing on adultery, some on embodiment; and major texts courses based on Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf. She has published on Dorothy Parker, Wyndham Lewis, crowds, and once in a while in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Her book Cold Modernism engages Wyndham Lewis, Mina Loy, Balthus, Hans Bellmer, Henry James, and Coco Chanel, and covers the period 1896-1948. She is also member of the editorial committee of the scholarly journal Modernism/modernity.

Event will be live webstreamed at https://wallacehouse.umich.edu/?p=8583.

How should the press adapt when those in power use the epithet “fake news” to attack real reporting? Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post, offers suggestions for both reporters and news consumers on navigating this new era. He will discuss how journalists can open up their own reporting process through social media, show the public the work that underlies their stories and invite readers in as collaborators.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Fahrenthold used social media to follow-up on Donald Trump’s pledge to donate money to veterans groups. Posting his reporter’s notes on Twitter to solicit leads, Fahrenthold uncovered Trump’s questionable charitable practices and found no evidence that Trump donated money to veterans groups as he’d claimed. Fahrenthold was also the first reporter to reveal the existence of the “Access Hollywood” 2005 video in which Trump bragged about groping women. For his series of stories, Fahrenthold won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.

A graduate of Harvard, Fahrenthold has been at The Washington Post since 2000. There he reports on President Trump’s businesses and conflicts of interest. He previously covered the Washington, D.C., police, the environment, New England, Congress and the federal bureaucracy for the paper.

Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Graduate Rackham International

Graduate school can be daunting. It’s often an extended exercise in not being told about the things you’d better know. The path to success is seldom smooth nor clear, populated by busy people and opaque processes. Alas, here is a forum for graduate students to hear from their senior colleagues about challenges in their academic journeys and how they overcame them. We asked an interdisciplinary group of these busy people to devote two hours of their time to answering your questions. Join us to gain insight from their hindsight!

Edible fare and refreshments to be served!

Morehshin Allahyari is an Iranian media artist, activist, educator, and curator who uses computer modeling and digital fabrication techniques to explore the intersection of art and activism. “I want my work to respond, resist, and criticize the current political and cultural situation that we experience on a daily basis,” she explains. Allahyari’s Material Speculation: ISIS, a digital fabrication project that inspects petropolitical and poetic relationships between 3D printing, oil, techno-capitalism, and jihadism, has achieved wide acclaim for proposing 3D printing technology as a tool both for resistance and documentation. The many publications featuring the work include the New York Times, Huffington Post, Wired, NPR, Rhizome, Hyperallergic, Dazed Digital, and VICE. She has exhibited at numerous institutions and festivals throughout the world, including Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, Australia; Hartware MedienKunstVerein and Transmediale in Germany. Allahyari was recently awarded a 2016 Sculpture Award from the Institute of Digital Art. Allahyari relocated to the United States in 2007 and currently lives in New York.

Supported by the Ann Arbor Film Festival and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

Despite the gloomy and depressing mood that swept Russia after the Russian government defeated the Moscow protests in 2012 and the patriotic hysteria generated by the annexation of Crimea, uncensored debates and unrestricted exchange of opinions still remain possible on the Russian internet. The Kremlin certainly didn’t emerge a winner from its first serious collision with the global network. So how did the Kremlin, once so fearful of the power of the internet and understanding so little about the nature of the global network, find a way to use it in the United States, the birthplace of the internet and still its innovative powerhouse?

Andrei Soldatov is a Russian investigative journalist and co-founder and editor of Agentura.ru, a watchdog of the Russian secret services’ activities. He has been covering security services and terrorism issues since 1999. He has co-written with Irina Borogan "The New Nobility: The Restoration of Russia’s Security State and the Enduring Legacy of the KGB" (PublicAffairs, 2010) and "The Red Web: The Struggle Between Russia’s Digital Dictators and the New Online Revolutionaries" (PublicAffairs, 2015). The new, updated edition of "The Red Web," with a completely new chapter about the US election and Russian interference in 2016, was published in August 2017.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Professor Chavasse presents research from her travels to the Malta Festival in Poznan, Poland, and to Berlin, Germany where she created a new dance work for Tanz Tangente. In Poznan, the panoply of dance, music and theater events focused on the festival theme-- The Balkans Platform, (Platforma Blakany), with the title of "We The People", analogous to our "not my president" protests. Chavasse will discuss the highly politicized works she witnessed as an audience member, posing questions about gender politics and social inequality and autocracy. She will also discuss the genesis of a new dance created with Tanz Tangente in Berlin, called "Little Monsters,” in which the movement exploration is centered around pulsing, agitation, manipulation and absence.

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

World AIDS Day: Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings (December 1, 2017 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46540 46540-10546809@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 1, 2017 6:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Join us for a screening of Visual AIDS’ "Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings," a series of new video works by seven contemporary artists—Mykki Blanco, Cheryl Dunye (with Ellen Spiro), Reina Gossett, Thomas Allen Harris, Kia Labeija, Tiona McClodden and Brontez Purnell— that prioritize Black narratives within the ongoing AIDS epidemic.

In spite of the impact of HIV/AIDS within Black communities, these stories and experiences are often excluded from larger artistic and historical narratives. In 2016, African Americans represented 44% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States. Given this context, it is increasingly urgent to feature a myriad of stories that consider and represent the lives of those housed within this statistic. "Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings" seeks to highlight the voices of those that are marginalized within broader Black communities nationwide, including queer and trans folks.

Curated by Erin Christovale and Vivian Crockett for Visual AIDS, "Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings" is the 28th iteration of Visual AIDS’ longstanding Day With(out) Art project. The commissioned projects include intimate meditations of young HIV positive protagonists; a consideration of community-based HIV/AIDS activism in the South; explorations of the legacies and contemporary resonances within AIDS archives; a poetic journey through New York exploring historical traces of queer and trans life, and more. Together, the videos provide a platform centering voices deeply impacted by the ongoing epidemic.

Discussion to follow with Bré Campbell, Founder of the Trans Sistas of Color Project, Leon Golson, Director of Prevention Programs for Unified HIV Health and Beyond in Ypsilanti, MI; and Demario Longmire, a recent U-M graduate with a degree in Linguistics, LGBTQ Studies and Intergroup Relations who is currently a Health Corps Fellow working with communities affected by HIV/AIDS in Washington, D.C.

Presented by the UMMA Student Engagement Council and co-sponsored by the U-M Spectrum Center. Additional partners include the U-M Center for Sexuality & Health Disparities, Trans Sistas of Color Project, and Unified HIV Health and Beyond.

Student programming at UMMA is generously supported by the University of Michigan Credit Union Arts Adventures Program, UMMA's Lead Sponsor for Student and Family Engagement.

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Lead support for "Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece (December 12, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/46545 46545-10546918@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 12, 2017 11:00am

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Images in Crisis: Experiments in the Photographic Unseen (January 11, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48069 48069-11177987@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 11, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

This lecture takes as its starting point Régis Durand’s evocative description of photographs as “images in crisis,” in which “something in them is always trying to run off, to vanish.” It moves through nineteenth and twentieth century photography history in establishing photography as a sequential and grammatical art that denaturalizes the real through its silences, absences, and equivocations. In this way, photography offers a compelling model for reading a composite mode of modernist writing that shares its fragmentary aesthetic and narrative form—and for reconceiving the gendered subject–object relations in that writing, as modernism’s women seem to run off, to vanish, before our eyes. Interleaved with critical–creative readings of individual photographs, drawn from a forthcoming scholarly project to be released on Instagram in February 2018, this lecture is an experiment in an elliptical, associative mode of argumentation that mimes photography’s logic of incongruous juxtaposition.

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Lead support for "Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

Is kneeling during the national anthem a show of disrespect or a display of patriotism? Is extending a welcome to immigrants and refugees central to American ideals or a threat to them? Is the Confederate flag a symbol of heritage or racism? Lydia Polgreen, editor-in-chief of HuffPost and 2009 Livingston Award winner, will discuss the vital role of a free press in a thriving democracy and its responsibility in the current populist moment.
Fresh off the Listen to America road trip, a 25-city bus tour to engage with people and communities that feel left out of dominant national narratives, Polgreen will address the legacy and current relevance of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and engage the audience in a conversation about voice, power and participation in civil society.
Event will be live-streamed.
Co-sponsored by Wallace House, the Department of History, Department of American Culture and the Department of English Language.
A 2018 Annual U-M Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium Event

In the last few months a series of “culture wars” have been ignited across the country. Activists from all points of the political spectrum, even the President of the United States himself, are turning to beloved cultural objects to stake a claim for their differing beliefs in a politically fraught moment. Black athletes are taking a knee. Anti-immigration voters are rallying for a wall. Long-standing Confederate monuments are coming down.

What is at stake in the ways we understand culture and cultural conflict? High Stakes Culture is a new series, presented by the Institute for the Humanities and the Humanities Collaboratory, that brings humanities perspectives to bear on current debates. Join us as we ask: How and why does culture matter so much now?

Join the conversation as humanities scholars Angela Dillard (Afroamerican and African studies and Residential College), Matthew Countryman (history and American culture), Mark Clague (music), and Kristin Hass (American culture) tackle these questions and others you might have about high stakesculture now.

When did sports and patriotism become so deeply linked?
Has the flag always been viewed as sacred and purely a symbol of the armed forces?
Where did the national anthem come from, and have people always stood when it is played?
Who gets to decide what symbols deserve respect and what counts as a gesture of respect?

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Lead support for "Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

LRCCS Occasional Lecture Series | History as Context for the Present: A Family Story of China’s Coming of Age (February 8, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48862 48862-11317268@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 8, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

If you end up on the wrong side of history, nobody writes yours. Correspondent Scott Tong of Marketplace public radio – and a 2013-14 University of Michigan Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow – talks about China’s long and interrupted opening to the world, told through the lives of five people across five generations in his own family. The stories are told in his new book, A Village with My Name: A Family History of China’s Opening to the World.

He begins by pursuing the lives of relatives and ancestors whose names are hardly ever spoken at the family table. The untold stories and history help fill in an oft-ignored chapter in the China story: the contribution of mainlanders who adopted the ideas, music and literature of the outside world. Although A Village with My Name is a personal, historical work of narrative nonfiction, it provides history as context to the present. Tong, who is reporting on the current globalization backlash, will also address issues of national identity, globalization and drawbridges that many in the world are asking right now.

Scott Tong has reported from more than a dozen countries as correspondent for Marketplace, from refugee camps in east Africa to shoe factories in eastern China. He toured the oil sands of Canada and snuck into Burma. Currently he serves as correspondent for Marketplace’s Sustainability Desk, where his coverage focuses on energy, the environment, natural resources and the global economy.

In 2006, Scott opened Marketplace’s first permanent bureau in China, as Shanghai bureau chief. His first book, A Village with My Name: A Family History of China’s Opening to the World (University of Chicago Press, 2017), is a personal, journalistic discovery of China’s long and interrupted economic opening. More than a faraway story from a long time ago, it addresses the divisive questions about globalization and drawbridges that many countries are debating today.

His reporting includes special coverage of the 2016-2017 globalization backlash; Water: The High Price of Cheap; Venezuela’s economic collapse; the triumph of the shareholder value model in the U.S. and the Price of Profits; the challenge of long-term job creation in the United States; the 2011 Japan tsunami and recovery; the 2011 famine in the Horn of Africa; and the economics of one child in China. In 2013-14, Scott was awarded the Knight-Wallace journalism fellowship at the University of Michigan.

Scott joined Marketplace in 2004, after working as a producer and off-air reporter for the PBS NewsHour, where he produced a series of mini-documentaries from Iraq following the U.S. invasion in 2003. He’s appeared on the PBS NewsHour, the Aspen Ideas Festival and TedxFoggybottom.

A graduate of Georgetown University, Scott is a native of Poughkeepsie, New York. He lives in Arlington, Virginia with his wife Cathy and three children. He is an acknowledged soccer dad and cycles to work at a measured pace.

Cosponsored by the U-M Knight-Wallace Program.

This event is free and open to the public.

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Lead support for "Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Aymar Jean Christian, Assistant Professor in the School of Communication Studies at Northwestern University, and Hollywood screenwriter and television writer LaToya Morgan will inaugurate the “Critical Conversations” series. They will explore the ways in which race and gender might influence access to Hollywood and how new media platforms have formed new spaces for narrating/screening multiple stories, people, and experiences.

Film and television in India have engendered excessive responses from sections of the audience for well over half a century now. There are well-documented studies of such excesses in the domains of film star fandom and popular devotion alike. In the more recent past, screen images have been accused of causing violence and even death (of viewers either due to shock or suicide). Recent scholarship on print media expands the field of audience excesses by suggesting that newspapers and magazines are not far behind as triggers of violence. And none of this research is even referring to the minefield of social media outrage. Although it should not come as a surprise to researchers that contemporary publics do not easily fit into the Habsermasian conception of the public sphere, literature on old and new media continue to be framed by it. Furthermore, the spectatorial response that constitutes screen publics in our time is not satisfactorily explained by concepts such as darsan, corpothetics and the active audience. I examine the evolving texts and contexts of film star fandom to argue that forms of engagement characteristic of fan activity offer insights into present day media publics—even those that have nothing do with either stars or the cinema.

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Lead support for "Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

These sessions are based on lectures offered through the UMich Teach-Out Series on the EdX platform. The course’s learning goals, as described by the Teach-Out, are to 1) distinguish between “news” and other forms of information; 2) evaluate the credibility of information claims; 3) identify psychological and logical fallacies that influence how we interpret information; 4) critically examine a news story and identify how it was produced.

Participants will listen to lectures from UM professors and other experts, then engage in discussion facilitated by Sigrid Hermon and Ann Tomlanovich. Additional materials and class exercises might be included.

The study group sessions for those 50 and over will meet every other Monday from March 12 to April 23.

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Please join the English Department and Critical Contemporary Studies for a Critical Crossings Lecture by Kinohi Nishikawa

Scholars usually rely on a handful of categories to recount a literary history: period, aesthetic movement, authorship. As deployed over decades of academic institutionalization, these categories have proven useful for reconstructing scenes of literary creation as the key to understanding our literary past. This talk explains how twentieth-century African American literature recommends new categories for literary history, ones less invested in idealized notions of inspiration or creation. For most of the century, authors, editors, and publishers struggled mightily over the question of exactly who the audience for black writing was. As the material interface between a work and its audience, book design became an important point of contestation in these struggles. By attending to this highly visible yet not always noticed interface, the talk considers how twentieth-century book design negotiated between readers and markets, actual and imagined communities, to constitute a new literary tradition.

Kinohi Nishikawa is Assistant Professor of English and African American Studies at Princeton University. His writing on African American print and popular culture has appeared in PMLA, Book History, and African American Review. Kinohi’s first book, Street Players: Black Pulp Fiction and the Making of a Literary Underground, is forthcoming from the University of Chicago Press.

China’s move to change the constitution allowing President Xi Jinping to remain in power could have a major impact on China’s global influence. A panel of Knight-Wallace international journalists examines China’s growing clout and how this power is being deployed around the world, with implications for media, academia and the entertainment industry. Is Beijing already influencing what we read and watch or are fears of its influence overblown?

The Eisendrath Symposium honors Charles R. Eisendrath, former director of Wallace House, and his lifelong commitment to international journalism.

Free and open to the public.

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

If you have heard about the incidents with incoming students and blackface on Snapchat and are interested in learning more about the relevance of blackface today, as well as its historical context as a practice, the History Club is hosting a talk on April 3rd at 7pm in 1014 Tisch Hall. Professor Berrey will be taking a look at how Americans interacted with blackface throughout recent history, going back to playbills in minstrel shows popular in the 19th century to more modern representations in mass media. The talk will definitely be an informative and engaging one for those wishing to understand how this depiction has continued to harm and denigrate black Americans, and why this practice is still being invoked today.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: International Youth and Students for Social Equality

The United States government, in collaboration with Google, Facebook, Twitter and other information technology corporations, is implementing massive restrictions on Internet access to socialist, antiwar and progressive websites. Capitalist governments in Europe and throughout the world are enacting similar repressive policies.

The ruling class launched this desperate campaign in a desperate response to growing mass opposition to social inequality and war. Workers and young people around the world are using the Internet to coordinate struggles and share information outside of the control of the corporate media.

The World Socialist Web Site, which has been a principal target of the censorship campaign, is leading a fight against the greatest attack on free speech since the Second World War. In January, it called for an International Coalition of Socialist, Antiwar and Progressive Websites Against Internet Censorship to expose what is taking place and coordinate opposition.

This meeting will explore the political context of efforts to censor the Internet, examine the pretexts used to justify the suppression of free speech (e.g., “fake news”), and discuss a political strategy to mobilize the working class in defense of democratic rights.

Since the 1980s, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal, garbage, taxidermy, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.

"The Masterpiece" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.

Lead support for "Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.
