Repatriation and Restitution of Cultural Heritage (October 25, 2019 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68167 68167-17020451@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 25, 2019 2:30pm

Roundtable:
Repatriation and Restitution of Cultural Heritage: Museums, Universities, and the Ethics of Community Engagement

October 25, 2:30-3:30PM
Classics Library

This roundtable was prompted by similar events in US universities (e.g. Brown University), after the publication of the Savoy report in November 2018 (The Restitution of African Cultural Heritage: Towards a New Relational Ethics.) The report, which we attach to this announcement, defines Restitution (“What restitution means”) and outlines its implications beyond questions of legitimate ownership which often dominate discussions on the topic.
From the report (page 29):

“Restitutions open up a profound reflection on history, memories, and the colonial past, concerning the history as well as the formation and development of Western museum collections. But just as importantly the question of restitution also bears on the question of the different interpretations or conceptions of cultural heritage, of the museum, and their various modalities of the presentation of objects as well as their circulation and, in the end, the nature and quality of relations between people and nation.”

According to the report, stolen and looted object constitute a “diaspora” and additional violence is inscribed onto the objects themselves as they are altered, reshaped, varnished, cleaned, etc. How are such objects to be “restituted” and “repatriated”, the report asks? (page 30). And why seek to repatriate at all? Does repatriation foster community engagement? What are the power dynamics among the multiple stakeholders in such engagements?

The report raises questions that resonate beyond African Art and with this event we hope to raise similar questions as they pertain to our institutional and disciplinary practices.

The roundtable brings together specialists from different fields:

Brendan Haug, Assistant Professor, Classical Studies and Archivist of the UM Papyrology Collection
Shelley Perlove, Professor Emerita, History of Art
Ray Silverman, Professor History of Art, DAAS, Museum Studies
Lisa C. Young, Lecturer IV, Anthropology, Research Affiliate Museum of Anthropology

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Comparative Literature

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). He is the director of “Thinking Out Loud: The Sydney Lectures in Philosophy and Society,” and the co-editor of the book series “Incitements” (Edinburgh University Press).

Author's Forum Presents: "Moment of Reckoning: Imagined Death and Its Consequences in Late Ancient Christianity" (October 30, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/66149 66149-16709267@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 30, 2019 4:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Ellen Muehlberger (history, classical studies, Middle East studies) and Deborah Dash Moore (Judaic studies, history) discuss Muehlberger's latest book, followed by Q & A.

Late antiquity saw a proliferation of Christian texts dwelling on the emotions and physical sensations of dying—not as a heroic martyr in a public square or a judge’s court but as an individual, at home in a bed or in a private room. In sermons, letters, and ascetic traditions, late ancient Christians imagined the last minutes of life and the events that followed death in elaborate detail. This book traces how, in late ancient Christianity, death came to be thought of as a moment of reckoning: a physical ordeal whose pain is followed by an immediate judgment of one’s actions by angels and demons and, after that, fitting punishment. This emphasis on the experience of death ushered in a new ethical sensibility among Christians, in which one’s death was to be imagined frequently and anticipated in detail. This was initially meant as a tool for individuals: preachers counted on the fact that becoming aware of a judgment arriving at the end of one’s life tends to sharpen one’s scruples. But, as this book argues, the change in Christian sensibility toward death did not just affect individuals. Death imagined as the moment of reckoning created a fund of images and ideas within late ancient Christian culture about just what constituted a human being and how variances in human morality should be treated. This had significant effects on the Christian adoption of power in late antiquity, especially in the case of power’s heaviest baggage: the capacity to authorize violence against others.

Organized By: MUSES

This year is MUSES' 20th year anniversary, and our theme this year is Building a Legacy. On Nov 12th, we will have the pleasure to host a very special guest, Dr. Susan Montgomery, that truly represents what legacy looks like.

Doctor Susan Montgomery has had an important role in mentoring and advising students and student organizations throughout her career. She joined the University of Michigan in 1993 after a two-year postdoc developing educational modules following her PhD from Princeton University. She has taught many courses over the years including ‘Teaching Engineering’ which molds future engineering faculty. She has served as an advisor for undergraduate chemical engineering students, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and Habitat for Humanity. Recently she received the “Achievement Award” at the Willie Hobbs Moore Luncheon, given to an individual in STEM whose achievements encourage and inspire others to achieve their goals. She is in the process of transitioning to phased retirement, and certainly her contributions to our organization and our community at the University of Michigan will be forever remembered.

All are welcome!

When: Nov 12th, at 6pm.
Where: Johnson Room, Lurie Engineering Center (1221 Beal Ave)

Dinner will be provided. Please, RSVP below so enough food is provided.

Colonial Interaction and Resource Exploitation in the Sinis Peninsula (November 21, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69567 69567-17366246@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 21, 2019 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

In 1921, travel writer D.H. Lawrence called the western Mediterranean island of Sardinia an unsubdued landscape “outside the circuit of civilization,” never fully colonized by Romans, Phoenicians, or Greeks. This view is representative of wider scholarly perceptions, which have generally considered the coastal colonies of ancient traders separately from the rural, inland landscapes inhabited by the indigenous populations. In order to break down this binary, Sinis Archaeological Project explores ancient colonial interaction, landscape use, and resource exploitation in the coastal and inland landscapes of west-central Sardinia. Dr. Gosner will provide a preliminary report of our first two seasons of landscape survey, held in 2018 and 2019. She discusses the methodology for our multi-scalar survey, discuss the preliminary results from our survey of an inland agricultural zone, and assess how survey can provide a clearer picture of Phoenician, Punic, and Roman strategies for colonization and trade on the island.

Soul Matters: Plato and Platonists on the Nature of the Soul (December 6, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69451 69451-17324768@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 6, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Platonist discourses about the soul are incredibly rich and multitiered. That complexity is rooted in Plato's own texts, offering as they do competing views on the nature of the soul. How did the soul (psyche) come to stand in for the interiority of the human person? How did the idea of an incorporeal self come to occupy an unbroken tradition of over one thousand years, pervading cultures around the Mediterranean basin, but rooted in ideas that can be directly traced back to Plato’s texts? Over that millennium, questions arose as to the existence of a world soul or even of an evil soul, the cosmic function of the soul, the way that the soul thinks, how soul governs or enlivens the body, the pre-existence of the soul, its fall into embodiment, etc. How did soul come to have so many disparate functions and configurations in the Platonic tradition?

In celebration of the upcoming 70th birthday of John Finamore, Roger Hornsby Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa, President of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies, and Editor of the International of the Platonic Tradition.

Soul Matters: Plato and Platonists on the Nature of the Soul (December 7, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/69451 69451-17324769@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, December 7, 2019 9:00am

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Platonist discourses about the soul are incredibly rich and multitiered. That complexity is rooted in Plato's own texts, offering as they do competing views on the nature of the soul. How did the soul (psyche) come to stand in for the interiority of the human person? How did the idea of an incorporeal self come to occupy an unbroken tradition of over one thousand years, pervading cultures around the Mediterranean basin, but rooted in ideas that can be directly traced back to Plato’s texts? Over that millennium, questions arose as to the existence of a world soul or even of an evil soul, the cosmic function of the soul, the way that the soul thinks, how soul governs or enlivens the body, the pre-existence of the soul, its fall into embodiment, etc. How did soul come to have so many disparate functions and configurations in the Platonic tradition?

In celebration of the upcoming 70th birthday of John Finamore, Roger Hornsby Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa, President of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies, and Editor of the International of the Platonic Tradition.

FAST Lecture | Reconsidering the Role of Destruction at the End of the Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean (December 12, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69677 69677-17376531@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 12, 2019 5:30pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, the end of the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1200 BC) is a time often defined by violence, upheavals, the loss of complexity, the collapse of empires and palatial structures, the disappearance of writing, and the movement of displaced populations. Great destruction events ravaged the Eastern Mediterranean at this time, including the destruction of the palaces at Mycenae, Midea, Tiryns, and Pylos, the desolation of Enkomi on Cyprus, the burning of Ras Shamra in Syria, and the sacking of Hattusa in Anatolia.

The question that must be asked is, how many of these sites were actually destroyed? And for those that were, was the destruction caused by man in the form of revolutions, intersite conflict, and foreign invaders? Or by nature in the form of devastating earthquakes? The goal of this talk is to demonstrate just how much was destroyed at the end of the Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean and what this indicates for the multiple theories that utilize destruction as a prime mover in the collapse of Bronze Age civilizations.

Reception at the Kelsey Museum at 5:30 PM, lecture to follow at 6:00 PM.

FellowSpeak: "The Roman-period Theater as Cognitive Microecology: Setting, Seating, and Costume" (January 14, 2020 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69968 69968-17489275@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 14, 2020 12:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

This talk examines the Roman-period theater as a cognitive ecology, one that supported and engaged different modes of thinking and learning by its occupants during nondramatic, civic and political gatherings. Using cognitive theory as a heuristic framework, this talk argues that the architecture and sculptural displays worked in tandem with controlled seating and specific manners of dress to promote effective learning about social class and cultural and civic identities.

This paper presents some of the first results of the project *Rethinking Roman Nutrition: Assessing the nutritional biochemistry and stable isotope chemistry of archaeobotanical cereals and pulses from Roman Egypt,* a collaboration between the Free University Brussels and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. The project aims to obtain nutritional data from ancient seeds so as to establish a baseline for nutritional values of food in antiquity as there is overwhelming evidence that modern data are not representative for the past.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

A Host of People is a Detroit-based ensemble theater company creating original work that celebrates complexity, imagination, and the synthesis of seemingly disparate elements—at once epic and intimate, political and personal, poetic and approachable. AHOP exists to create aesthetically rigorous, intellectually challenging theatre that is also warm, welcoming, and inspiring to people from all walks of life. All of our programming moves the company in this direction. We choose our subject matter and themes very carefully with an eye to stories, topics, and aesthetic approaches that will be equally thrilling to the most adventurous theatre fans as well as those with less exposure to the form.

https://www.ahostofpeople.org/

About Cleopatra Boy:

Cleopatra Boy brings to light how women (and other non-straight/white/male) leaders’ histories are re-written, maligned, or erased. The iconic Egyptian pharaoh’s historic, mythic, and fictional representations across time inspired our ensemble to create a performance that speaks to the present moment. A theatrical thought experiment that is part pageant, part courtroom drama; our audience will shape-shift from spectators, to community members, to witnesses as we collectively address the injustice of losing control of our own narratives in order to rethink and remake history.

FAST Lecture | Assessing Mechanisms of Mobility and Exchange in the Prehistoric Cyclades (January 30, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71613 71613-17844816@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 30, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Recent research in the Bronze Age Cycladic archipelago has documented the widespread evidence for the distribution of imported products — especially ceramics — throughout the region. In addition, consensus has grown that human mobility was a key feature in driving technical and stylistic changes in Cycladic assemblages. Indeed, the operation of different sorts of mobility seems to be a key feature underlying major patterns of material culture change in the islands during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. In this era, Cycladic islanders adopted and adapted material culture and practice from the palatial Minoan society of Crete. This presentation discusses human and object mobility in the context of changing patterns of consumption and production in the islands in order to provide new perspectives on the so-called Minoanization phenomenon.

Reception at the Kelsey Museum at 5:30 PM, lecture to follow at 6:00 PM.

FAST lectures are free and open to the public. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please call the Kelsey at 734-647-4167 at least two weeks in advance.

Archaeologies of Contemporary Migration: Border Assemblages, Global Apartheid, and the Decolonial Potential (February 3, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70522 70522-17602806@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 3, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Modern Greek Program

18th Annual Dimitris and Irmgard Pallas Modern Greek Lecture

Summary:
Since 2016, I have been carrying out an archaeological ethnography project on contemporary migration, focusing on the border island of Lesvos. In this talk, I will report on some of the findings of this project, showing how a sustained and detailed attention to the materiality and temporality of the phenomenon, to the sensorial, affective, and temporal properties of things, can offer insights that elude other kinds of research. Objects, spaces, buildings and landscapes are essential components in the formation of border assemblages, together with border crossers, volunteers, as well as border guards and security apparatuses. I will explore how the attention to such assemblages can not only help us understand what some scholars have described as the new Global Apartheid, but more positively, allow us to imagine a decolonial present and future.

For over 500 years Rome was ruled by emperors. Some enjoyed decades in power, while some lasted less than a year. Being an emperor could be a dangerous job! Come and explore the Kelsey Museum in this tour to see what the emperors of Rome saw when they looked out over their vast empire. Hear what Roman writers said about them at that time. Decide for yourself if you would have liked living in the time of the emperors, whether or not togas and sandals are your style.

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
Location: Tisch Hall
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).

Multifocality and State Fragility in Iron Age Central Italy (February 28, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73247 73247-18181861@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 28, 2020 12:00pm

Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

Western central Italian states have had a peculiar role in our intellectual history, starting with the most famous of them, the “eternal” city of Rome. With evident teleology, the narrative about the emergence of the earliest agglomerations in the early first millennium BCE has taken the form of an ascending curve. While there is no denying that this regional phenomenon has produced cities with 3000 years of uninterrupted occupation, recent archaeological and historical research have revealed how precarious the process was in its early stages. At various points in their trajectories, many of these centers were abandoned, moved or shrunk. Even more importantly, they all came together in a slow and hesitant way. It is now clear that they were the result of many distinct elite-led groups settling separately within the same defensible location. Such multifocality remained a long-term trait of these agglomerations, shaping their settlement patterns, their institutions and their sociopolitical life. Arguably, participating elites saw the city as a truce space to mitigate their conflicts and as a vehicle to further their long-range ambitions, but they never fully identified with it. This made all these polities inherently weak and impermanent, even when they lasted for centuries.

CANCELED: CLIFF 2020: (Counter)Narratives of Migration (March 13, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72845 72845-18261079@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 13, 2020 9:00am
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Comparative Literature

This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.


CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University.

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Comparative Literature

This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.


CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence, imperialism and body politics. Her films, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence, the Israel-Palestine conflict, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film "Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer, Great Lakes South.

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

Early Roman comedy, dating to around 200 BC, was written and performed by slaves and poor men for an audience that included slaves and poor people. These writers and actors took the old comic character of the slave cook and did something new, in line with these plays’ general resistance to authority. This talk is illustrated by rarely-seen images of cartoon cooks contemporary with the plays, juxtaposed with modern parallels from cookie jars to South Park’s Chef to Betye Saar’s “Liberation of Aunt Jemima".

Content warning: this talk will include discussion and display of images related to modern slavery and anti-black racism.

Location: Rackham Amphitheater (4th floor)

The Gerald F. Else Lecture in the Humanities

Summary:
Everyone knows that a classical education equips you for whatever life may throw at you, that Homer and Plato and Sophocles speak to the twenty-first century, but it’s also true that ordinary life can prepare you to study the classics. Who you are when you come to a text—say, Sophocles’ Antigone—can give you an intimate experience that you wouldn’t have had if that text had been thrust at you as “required reading” before you were ripe for it. I was in my thirties, working as a copy editor at The New Yorker, when I began studying modern Greek in order to travel; I fell in love with the Aegean, and immersed myself in classical Greek. It was a kind of therapy. When I got an opportunity to write about Greek, thirty years after my first enchantment, it seemed as if all my life had been leading to this. I dove into the scholarship, reading introductions and afterwords, footnotes, endnotes—all the scholarly apparatus. Scholarly books put the acknowledgments first and sum up their arguments neatly in the introduction, whereas journalists, hoping to inject suspense, grudgingly supply a “nut graph” and leave their acknowledgments for last. There were areas I had to acquire a deep knowledge of in order to write about superficially. Some of my favorite rabbit holes: the alphabet, the transmission of classical texts, Homer, the bizarre death of Milman Parry, code breakers who died young, schools of translation, gods and goddesses in the age of marketing (Apollo Electric, Hermes Hauling, Odyssey Phone Repair), the poet James Merrill (who lived in Athens as a rich young gay man), Freudian terminology, U.S. towns with Greek names, the shield of a fire chief (my father) and how it evokes Achilles and the world of the hero . . . Some of these things survived in the book as a single sentence, some not at all.

How can a person, condensing all her experience and following up every lead, write something that is both accessible and serious, neither too detailed for the nonspecialist nor too callow for the scholar? On the one hand, I didn’t have enough classical Greek to impress a scholar, and, on the one hand, I didn’t have enough modern Greek to hold my own with a native. A book that filtered Greek through me would have something to disappoint everyone. But I kept reminding myself that epic poetry and philosophy and tragedy are not solely the province of the scholar. Like the earth, “holy and inexhaustible,” they belong to us all.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Global and Intercultural Study

Study abroad is not just for juniors. It's not just for language and international studies majors. It's not just for students from certain communities or socioeconomic backgrounds. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you’re studying, a study abroad experience is available to you during your time at Michigan.

Whether you want to develop the skills you’ll need to compete in a global economy, cultivate your language competencies, or build meaningful connections with people from around the world, this is the best time in your life for a global experience.

Studying abroad often proves to be a pivotal experience, but deciding which program is the best fit can be daunting as you consider questions such as: How will this enhance my course of study? When should I go? For how long? Where? Can I afford it? How do I prepare? Will my credits transfer? The CGIS Study Abroad Virtual Fair is the best time to get all of your questions answered!

During the day of the virtual fair, you'll have instant access to academic advisors, education abroad advisors, Office of Financial Aid & LSA Scholarship Office representatives, and program representatives as well as scheduled events throughout the fair!
