SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Honoring the Career of Bunyan Bryant: The Legacy and Future of Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:The \"Honoring the Career of Bunyan Bryant: The Legacy and Future of Environmental Justice\" conference pays tribute to Professor Bryant\, who is retiring after 40 years of service to his field\, the School of Natural Resources and Environment and the University of Michigan. Throughout his long career\, he not only helped define the field and movement but has always advocated for the people behind it. The conference's purpose is to pay tribute to his contributions while offering attendees new thinking from leading activists\, academics and government leaders. The event takes place nearly 30 years to the month since the historic Warren County landfill protest in North Carolina\, which many consider the start of the modern Environmental Justice movement.\n\nThe conference will have keynote speakers and breakout sessions\, culminating with the production later this year of a whitepaper spelling out an action plan for the movement. This is Bunyan's clearly articulated goal for the conference: a concrete work product that lives beyond the life of the conference and serves and informs the work of activists and academics in the years ahead.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beautiful Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Michigan Union Art Lounge to see this art exhibit featuring landscape oil on canvas paintings from some of the most beautiful places in Michigan. \n\nExhibit: “Beautiful Michigan” - Landscape Paintings\, Oil on Canvas\n\nArtist: Anil Dhir\n\nArtist Statement:\nFor a painter\, Michigan offers one of the most beautiful landscapes\, whether here in Ann Arbor\, up-north or anywhere else. These paintings are my attempt to capture some of the Michigan beauty. I believe that a great painting is a like a beautifully composed piece of music. My wish is to create a painting with a simple aim of honestly capturing the very essence of what I saw\, and be able to make the viewer feel what I felt. (To read the full artist statement\, please visit campusinvolvement.umich.edu\, it is also posted with the exhibit.)\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed until Friday\, October 5th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement (uminvolvement@umich.edu) if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION:Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) Like countries in the West\, Japan is struggling with the problem of how to manage economic growth with demographic decline–falling birthrates and aging populations. Unlike Western countries\, however\, Japan is facing this struggle without the benefits (and costs) of mass immigration. This presentation will describe recent research exploring the roles and challenges of low and high-skilled migration to Japan\, and the possibilities for finding substitutes for immigration. We can understand Japan’s unique approach to immigration by understanding the intellectual or philosophical assumptions behind its policymaking\, and contrasting those with the philosophies of immigration in the West\, particularly the United States.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nJohn D. Skrentny is Director of the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies and Professor of Sociology at the University of California-San Diego. He has published widely on immigration and civil rights issues. His latest book is \"After Civil Rights: Law and the Meaning of Race in the New American Workplace\" (forthcoming).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series as part of the Rackham Centennial Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Many invertebrates benefit from the metabolic inputs of specialized symbiotic bacteria\, which contribute nutrients\, structural components\, and defenses against environmental threats. Insect symbioses show dramatic variation. At one extreme\, ancient\, maternally inherited symbionts that provision essential nutrients to hosts have tiny and static genomes that endure ongoing\, irreversible losses of genes and functional capacities overevolutionary time. These are exemplified by Buchnera aphidicola in aphids and by other nutritional symbionts of insects ranging from bloodfeeding flies to cockroaches. In these systems\, gene losses by symbionts can be partially compensated by acquisition of new symbionts or\, to a limited degree\, by coadaptation of hosts. More transient associations with heritable facultative symbionts can provide temporarily useful products\, such as defenses against natural enemies that change over time. \n\nAt the other extreme\, gut symbionts exist within more diverse microbial communities in which related strains may have frequent recombination and gene transfer resulting in highly dynamic genomes and the potential for acquisition of novel capabilities in response to new environmental pressures. The gut symbionts of honey bees and bumble bees are of special interest because the sociality of these insects enables reliable inter-individual transmission and has given rise to a distinctive\, specialized microbiota. These bee-associated bacterial species are likely to have evolved with their hosts for 80 million years. In contrast to the reduced genomes and clonality of anciently acquired maternally inherited symbionts\, species of honey bee gut symbionts occur as complexes of closely related\, recombining strains that vary in gene content and functional capabilities. This enables them to respond to novel environmental conditions such as changes in food or environmental toxins. Initial genome-based studies of the bee gut microbiota provide evidence for roles in defense and digestion and support the view that gene uptake by symbionts is pivotal in determining their effects on hosts. \n\nSponsored by the UM Museum of Zoology Donald W.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:John McMillian\, \"Notes from the Underground: The Rise and Fall of the 1960s Underground Press in America\"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is part of a series of events leading up to the October 31-November 2\, 2012 conference\, \"A New Insurgency: The Port Huron Statement in Its Time and Ours.\" Free and open to the public.\n\nAbstract: This lecture will assess the cultural work that was accomplished by the New Left's printed materials – especially its underground newspapers.  I argue that New Leftists created an ethos surrounding their publications that socialized people into the Movement\, fostered a spirit of mutuality among them\, and raised their democratic expectations.  Given the obstacles confronting those who have attempted to build mass democratic movements in the United States\, this was no small thing.  Additionally\, I'll discuss the degree to which the political energy that fueled the New Left arose from the grassroots\, as opposed to the national office of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) or the pageantry and intellectual ferment that accompanied the New Left rebellion in large cities.  In this way\, my work is part of a larger revisionist effort to reassess the New Left through the techniques and methodologies of social and cultural history.

DESCRIPTION:Pleasantly aggressive folk music!\n\nThe \"pleasantly aggressive folk duo\" Nervous but Excited offers dead-on harmony: two songwriters (Kate Peterson and Sarah Cleaver)\, two singers\, two guitars\, a mandolin\, a violin\, a few harmonicas\, some vaguely choreographed dancing\, and a lot of laughter. Their original repertoire ranges in topic from smart\, introspective narratives to the tactfully political\, and they still dabble in the love/post-love variety of song every now and then. Since 2004\, Nervous but Excited has released four full-length albums and four EPs\, and they've landed on stages with folks like Ani Difranco\, Iron and Wine\, Utah Phillips\, Ben Gibbard\, Catie Curtis\, and Cheryl Wheeler. Nervous but Excited has been one of Michigan's great success stories in recent years\, but they're going on hiatus in 2013\, so come on out and see them while you can! Inaugural Women's World Poetry Slam winner Andrea Gibson\, whose work deals with war\, class\, gender\, bullying\, white privilege\, sexuality\, love\, and spirituality\, opens the show.

Viewers will meet French\, Belgian\, British and American characters. Fontaine hopes that “”¦these cartoon characters will bring a smile to patients (children and adults\, alike).”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Right Tool for the Job: Paint & Encaustic on Wood by Valerie Mann
DESCRIPTION:Valerie Mann has been showing her work professionally throughout the US and in Canada and Germany for 23 years.  She grew up on a large family farm in Indiana\, went to University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana to earn a BFA in painting\, then to MSU to earn an MFA in sculpture. Now working and teaching in Ann Arbor\, Mann’s use and study of tools inspired this body of work. Used every day and sometimes taken for granted\, tools are indispensable in the making of art. These favorite tools are beautifully designed and well-thought out for their specific job.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Honoring the Career of Bunyan Bryant: The Legacy and Future of Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:The \"Honoring the Career of Bunyan Bryant: The Legacy and Future of Environmental Justice\" conference pays tribute to Professor Bryant\, who is retiring after 40 years of service to his field\, the School of Natural Resources and Environment and the University of Michigan. Throughout his long career\, he not only helped define the field and movement but has always advocated for the people behind it. The conference's purpose is to pay tribute to his contributions while offering attendees new thinking from leading activists\, academics and government leaders. The event takes place nearly 30 years to the month since the historic Warren County landfill protest in North Carolina\, which many consider the start of the modern Environmental Justice movement.\n\nThe conference will have keynote speakers and breakout sessions\, culminating with the production later this year of a whitepaper spelling out an action plan for the movement. This is Bunyan's clearly articulated goal for the conference: a concrete work product that lives beyond the life of the conference and serves and informs the work of activists and academics in the years ahead.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION:Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Older Folk in Film–OLLI Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Although movies seem made for young people\, you can still find films with sensitivity and insight about the lives of older people in different (but in some ways similar) cultures. While these films deal with the realities of aging\, all are thoughtful\, engaging and ultimately ennobling. The films we will screen are “Make Way for Tomorrow” (USA\, 1937)\; “Tokyo Story” (Japan\, 1953)\; “Away from Her” (USA\, 2002)\; “Cloud Nine” (Germany\, 2009)\; “After Life” (Japanese\, 1999)\; and “Wild Strawberries” (Sweden\, 1957). Bring lunch to the discussion following the screening\, if you like. Ira Konigsberg is Professor Emeritus of Film\, U of M.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Optofluidic lasers and their potential applications in bio/chemical analysis
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The optofluidic laser synergizes photonics and microfluidics\, and has emerged as a new field with possible applications in both photonics and biology.  In this talk\, I will first discuss the principle of the optofluidic laser and then highlight its unique characteristics for potential applications in bio/chemical analysis.     \nBio:  Dr. Fan obtained B.S. and M.S. from Peking University in 1991 and 1994\, respectively\, and Ph.D. in physics and optics from Oregon Center for Optics at the University of Oregon in 2001.  Between 2000 and 2004\, he was a project leader at 3M Company on fiber optics and photonic sensing devices for biomedical applications.  In August of 2004\, he joined the Department of Biological Engineering at the University of Missouri as an assistant professor.  In January of 2010\, he joined the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan as an associate professor.  Dr. Fan’s research includes photonic bio/chemical sensors\, micro/nano-fluidics\, and nano-photonics for disease diagnostics and bio/chemical molecule analysis.  He has about 90 peer-reviewed publications and 16 issued/pending patents.  Presently\, Dr. Fan serves as Associate Editor for Optics Express\, responsible for optical biological and chemical sensors and optofluidics\, and as a chair and organizer of numerous conferences for OSA\, SPIE\, and MRS. He is a recipient of 3M Non-Tenured Faculty Award (2004\, 2005\, and 2006)\, American Chemical Society Young Faculty Award\, the Wallace H.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe\, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION:Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages\, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

The team included: Craig Buckley\, Anthony Fontenot\, Urtzi Grau\, Lisa Hsieh\, Alicia Imperiale\, Lydia Kallipoliti\, Olympia Kazi\, Daniel Lopez-Perez\, and Irene Sunwoo.\n\nThis exhibition tracks the critical function of independent architectural publications that were the engine of an intensely creative period of experimental architectural practice in the 1960s and 1970s. Known as \"little magazines\,\" the periodicals that proliferated during this period appeared in response to the political\, social and artistic changes of the time. The show includes manifestoes\, pamphlets\, building instruction manuals\, and a survey of magazine covers as well as professional magazines\, complemented by interviews with editors and designers of these publications.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition was given by The Guido A.

SUMMARY:Performance:Music Theory Lecture:  “Bonner Zeit Transitions: Rhenish Things Not Put Away” - Walter Everett
DESCRIPTION:In his Bonn works\, Beethoven presents a Galant sensibility by gathering short phrases based on stock melodic events for courtly amusement.  At the same time\, he wrestles with the evolution of sonata form as a vehicle for serious personal expression.  To promote an understanding of these conflicting goals\, this lecture contextualizes transitional points in Beethoven\&##39\;s Bonn works with those of his closest mentors (Neefe\, Luchesi and Sterkel) and shows how these early approaches leave marks in some mature sonatas.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dissertation Presentation:  Alison DeSimone\, musicology
DESCRIPTION:The Myth of the Diva: Female Opera Singers and Collaborative Performance in Early Eighteenth-Century London    This dissertation explores how female opera singers transformed the production and reception of theatrical music in London between 1703 and 1720 by collaborating with other performers. My project uses previously unstudied musical and archival sources to challenge the dominant perspective of the female performer as “diva\,” and argues instead that female singers were essential to the artistic process of opera production. Their performances of English masques\, Italian and English operas\, public concerts\, and benefits capitalized on their professional relationships with composers\, male performers\, English actresses\, and patrons in order to shape their  the musical and dramatic content of the productions in which they starred.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Smither
DESCRIPTION: Superb folk songwriting meets extraordinary guitar blues\n\nHaving distilled his own signature sound of blues and folk for over 40 years\, Chris Smither is truly an American original. A profound songwriter\, Chris continues to draw deeply from the blues\, American folk music\, modern poets and philosophers with \"Hundred Dollar Valentine\,\" the 14th record of his lengthy career. From his early days as a New Orleans transplant in the Boston folk scene\, through his wilderness years\, to his reemergence in the 1990s as one of America’s most distinctive acoustic performers\, Chris Smither continues to hone his distinctive sound. He has always traveled his own road\, eschewing sophisticated studio tricks and staying true to his musical vision. He has developed and maintained loyal friendships over the years with kindred-spirited musicians like Bonnie Raitt and the late Stephen Bruton\, while at the same time throughout his career being inspired by and inspiring to today's new generation of musicians. Reviewers continue to praise his dazzling guitar work\, gravelly voice\, and songwriting. In the words of the New York Times:\" With a weary\, well-traveled voice and a serenely intricate finger-picking style\, Mr. Smither turns the blues into songs that accept hard-won lessons and try to make peace with fate.\"

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Honoring the Career of Bunyan Bryant: The Legacy and Future of Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:The \"Honoring the Career of Bunyan Bryant: The Legacy and Future of Environmental Justice\" conference pays tribute to Professor Bryant\, who is retiring after 40 years of service to his field\, the School of Natural Resources and Environment and the University of Michigan. Throughout his long career\, he not only helped define the field and movement but has always advocated for the people behind it. The conference's purpose is to pay tribute to his contributions while offering attendees new thinking from leading activists\, academics and government leaders. The event takes place nearly 30 years to the month since the historic Warren County landfill protest in North Carolina\, which many consider the start of the modern Environmental Justice movement.\n\nThe conference will have keynote speakers and breakout sessions\, culminating with the production later this year of a whitepaper spelling out an action plan for the movement. This is Bunyan's clearly articulated goal for the conference: a concrete work product that lives beyond the life of the conference and serves and informs the work of activists and academics in the years ahead.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Travel Through Maps and Narrative: An Exhibition on Travel and Tourism
DESCRIPTION:Travel\, an essential activity of human societies\, has evolved into an industry with social\, economic and environmental impacts. From pilgrimage and exploration to trade and tourism\, advances in transportation have enabled new types of travel and created new places\, some existing solely for the vacationer. This exhibition highlights changes in travel including information on early pilgrimages\, exploration narratives\, the grand tour of Europe\, women travellers\, World’s Fairs\, the birth of the family vacation and specialized tourism using maps and narratives from the Library collections.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe\, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION:Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION:Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages\, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media\, technologies\, and cultural histories\, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their \"net art\" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA\, which will be added to the artists' website\, yhchang.com.\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, and the Nam Center for Korean Studies. Additional support provided by the Dr. Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lou & Peter Berryman
DESCRIPTION:The funniest thing on four legs\"–Christine Lavin\n\nLou and Peter Berryman are musical humorists who have delighted nationwide audiences for more than 20 years. Frequent comparisons to Tom Lehrer (who said\, \"I love your material\, and if I were still performing\, I'd steal it\")\, Flanders and Swann\, and Burns and Allen notwithstanding\, these two are originals\, blending Midwestern culture with intelligent observation in a whimsical and wonderfully accessible performance. They have produced a dozen albums and three songbooks of their original and hilarious\, quirky\, yet oddly profound music\, and they've toured the U.S. and Canada to rave reviews. Lou and Peter Berryman songs are being sung around the world\, by a legion of professional musicians including Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Peggy Seeger\, and Garrison Keillor\, as well as shower singers everywhere. The pair began their musical partnership in high school in Appleton\, Wisconsin\, and their friendship survived a brief marriage before maturing into a durable creative collaboration

He spent his childhood and youth in Normandy\, France\, and his dream of becoming a scientist grew together with his imagination and passion for oil painting and drawing. After moving to the US in 1998\, Fontaine became fascinated with sculpting. This self-taught artist explores funny and familiar subjects\, with close attention to details in human anatomy. Viewers will meet French\, Belgian\, British and American characters. Fontaine hopes that “”¦these cartoon characters will bring a smile to patients (children and adults\, alike).”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe\, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION:Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages\, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Meet Me at UMMA Pilot Program opens to the public
DESCRIPTION:In 2009\, working in partnership with memory loss programs at University of Michigan and Saint Joseph Mercy Health Systems\, the Museum launched the pilot program for Meet Me at UMMA\, a unique museum-based program designed to engage visitors who are living with dementia. This fall Meet Me at UMMA will launch a new program open to persons with memory loss who live at home and their significant other or caregiver.\n\nMeet Me at UMMA is based on the premise that\, although memory may have been compromised\, senses are generally alive and well. Facilitated by a small group of experienced UMMA Docents using a multi-sensory approach\, the tours offer community members with dementia and their caregivers an opportunity to \"bring their senses alive\" through visual art\, often complemented by music\, props\, and creative artmaking.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Matt Wertz
DESCRIPTION: Melodically addictive new songs of relationships and life\n\nIt's been three years since singer-songwriter Matt Wertz released an album\, but he's got some good excuses–relentless touring\, a label change (he's now with the innovative Nettwerk label)\, and the trials and tribulations of life. He's back with a vengeance with his new release\, \"Weights & Wings\,\" which carries reflections of all of these. All the songs on the album are about relationships\, romantic and otherwise\, and Matt says he hopes listeners will be able to identify with his music and find a “windows down\, sing along at the top of your lungs” quality about the new album\, too. We at The Ark don't have any windows\, but we're pretty sure you'll feel good about the new directions and depth in Matt Wertz's music–which remains as melodically addictive as ever! Pittsburgh native and young master pop craftsman Steve Moakler opens the show.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION:Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe\, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION:Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages\, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION:Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Other:The Legislative Collaborative
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Detroit will host Michigan U.S. Senator\, Carl Levin (D) on Tuesday\, October 9\, from 9-10 a.m. as part of its Legislative Collaborative series. This invitation only event is open to the press. The Legislative Collaborative is a quarterly political forum sponsored by the Michigan State University and University of Michigan Detroit Centers.\n\nThe session will provide a unique forum for select high school and college students to participate in a question and answer session with Michigan’s senior senator.  Levin’s visit to the U-M Detroit Center provides student attendees with an excellent opportunity to engage in conversations regarding such topics as politics\, policy and other current events. The invited students will represent the Detroit School of the Arts\, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan.\n\nSenator Carl Levin\, a Detroit native\, attended Detroit public schools as a youth and graduated from Swarthmore College in 1956 and Harvard Law School in 1959. Levin has been Michigan’s senior Senator since 1995 and is the longest serving U.S. Senator in Michigan history. Levin was elected to his sixth term in 2008\, which ends in January 2015.  TIME Magazine named Levin as one of America’s 10 best Senators in 2006.  Levin comes from a political family. His brother\, Sander\, represents Michigan’s 12th District in the House of Representatives and serves as ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee. Levin’s father\, Saul\, served on the Michigan Corrections Commission. His uncle\, Theodore Levin\, was the chief judge on the U.S. District Court for Eastern Michigan.\n\nOne of Carl Levin’s top priorities has been the economic well-being of Michigan families. Levin has been a consistent advocate of American manufacturing\; the backbone of Michigan’s economy. Levin has also been one of the strongest supporters for policies that would help American manufacturers compete globally.\n\nCarl Levin is the chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He has led investigations of the 2008 financial crisis\, abusive credit card practices\, the Enron collapse\, speculation in energy and food markets\, abusive offshore tax havens and money laundering by corrupt foreign leaders. He established an investigative team on the Armed Services Committee that has probed treatment of detainees in U.S. military custody and abuses by security contractors in Afghanistan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Financial Crisis and the Path of Reform
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Barr\, Professor\, School of Law\, U-M \n\nThe Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is being severely criticized by some in Congress for over-regulating banks\, while others say the law didn’t go far enough.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe\, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION:Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages\, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

In this talk we'll explore how systems can re-use these data to help create computational\, social science\, and personal knowledge.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:David Mitchell Lecture: \"The Capacities of Incapacity: Disability and Neoliberal Novels of Embodiment\"
DESCRIPTION:As a response to liberal disability representational strategies born in the wake of the civil rights era\, portrayals of people with disabilities under neoliberalism have increasingly tended to approach “deviant” bodies as sites of invention.  Rather than rehabilitate disability on the basis of social constructivist claims that disability is in the environment and not in the person (the founding insight of disability social models)\, neoliberal novels of embodiment explore disability as sites of radical human mutation wherein much of the creativity of the species lay.  Here I call these surprising representational reversals of disabled peoples’ innovation: the capacities of incapacity.  In anti-normative novels\, portrayals of alternative embodiments demonstrate ways in which a material engagement with disability may offer ways out of the social constructivist impasse: i.e. not only are bodies imprinted by environments\, but also that environments are imprinted by bodies as well. At the fore of this argument is the anti-normative novel’s challenge to disability rights movements as complicit in neoliberal homogenization processes at work in late Capitalism – namely\, those aspects of global fetishization that threaten to rid more radical formulations of disability of the promise they hold for fashioning alternative lives.\n\nDavid Mitchell is the 2012 Freehling Visiting Professor at the Institute for the Humanities\, University of Michigan\, and associate professor in the College of Education at Temple University.  His background and interests in American Cultural Studies include: U.S. literary history\, U.S. minority cultures\, representations of people with disabilities in film\, media\, literature and art\, documentary film art\, and youth subculture movements. His publications include 3 books The Body and Physical Difference (1997)\; Narrative Prosthesis (2000)\; Cultural Locations of Disability (2006)]\, dozens of journal and review articles\, four award-winning documentary films: Vital Signs: Crip Culture Talks Back (1995)\; A World Without Bodies (2002)\; Self Preservation (2005)\; Disability Takes on the Arts (2006)\, and the five-volume Encyclopedia of Disability (2005).  David has also curated two international disability film festivals and an exhibition for the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum on disability history.  Currently\, he is completing work on two new book-length manuscripts\; the first\, Ablenationalism and the Geo-Politics of Disability\, analyses the developments of global disability culture under neoliberalism\, and the second\, The Capacities of Incapacity: Disability and the the Anti-Normative American Novel\, examines shifts in liberal and neoliberal portrayals of people with disabilities in the wake of U.S. Civil Rights Movements.\n\nPart of Integrating disability: multi-sensory translation\, bodies of dis/color\, and neurodiversity\, a year-long collaboration between the U-M Institute for Humanities\, National Center for Institutional Diversity\, and the University of Michigan Initiative on Disability Studies.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Doug Rossinow Lecture\, “Remembering the Early New Left: Visions Inspired\, Visions Fulfilled\, Visions Denied”
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is part of a thematic series of events leading up to the October 31-November 2\, 2012 conference\, \"A New Insurgency: The Port Huron Statement in Its Time and Ours.\" It is free and open to the public.\n\nAbstract: The vision of the new left in its early years\, as expressed in the Port Huron Statement of 1962 and elsewhere\, pushed in numerous directions and took inspiration from diverse sources. Those sources of inspiration included experimental religion\, existentialist thought\, and solidarity with Third World revolutions. The early new left advocated a realignment of American politics along left/right lines. New left activists rallied to insurgencies by outsiders\, but they also harbored ambitions to become part of a new\, reformed American political leadership. Some of their hopes achieved realization while others were dashed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION:Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION:African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality\, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe\, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION:Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages\, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media\, technologies\, and cultural histories\, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their \"net art\" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA\, which will be added to the artists' website\, yhchang.com.\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, and the Nam Center for Korean Studies. Additional support provided by the Dr. Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“The U.S. & The Ocean: Policy\, Politics\,  and the Public”
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. was founded as a maritime nation and was a world leader for most of the 19th and 20th centuries. We have lost much of that leadership. We have the largest Exclusive Economic Zone of all nations\, and in 2010 got our first ever National Ocean Policy\, but we are still stuck in the muck. We have failed to ratify the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea\; application of Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning is sputtering\; ecosystem-based management remains elusive\; and the ocean is rarely mentioned as a source of jobs and new economic activity in the current debate. U of M Professor Emeritus\, John Kingdon wrote a defining treatment of the governmental policy-making process.  We will explore its relevance to ocean policy through two case studies–managing freshwater inflow to the San Francisco Bay estuary\, and managing aquatic invasive species introductions by ships transiting the St. Lawrence Seaway. Ocean scientists seek ocean policies based on sound science\, but are limited by lack of experience in the policy arena and by the lack of appropriate institutional structures to engage them and their expertise. I will offer some observations on disruptive strategies.

DESCRIPTION:Part of LSA Theme Semester\, \"Translation.\" \n\nIn this talk Murat Cankara will focus on three early Turkish novels in the Armenian script. These novels\, written between 1851 and 1868 by Ottoman Armenians\, have so far been ignored in Ottoman/Turkish literary historiography. In order to make a critique of historiography and to place these Armeno-Turkish novels into a historical and literary context\, he will discuss: the issue of cultural encounter between Ottoman Armenians and Muslim/Turks with special emphasis on script and historiography of the late Ottoman Empire\; an introduction to some basic features of Armeno-Turkish novels\;  and a literary comparison between these three novels and early Turkish novels written by Muslim/Turks with special emphasis on the appropriation of romanticism. Cankara will also give a brief overview on some major problems and theoretical tools for students of Armeno-Turkish. \n\nManoogian Foundation Post-doctoral Fellow Murat Cankara was born in Smyrna in 1976. He studied physics and mathematics for two years. After majoring in theory and history of theatre\, Cankara received his PhD in Turkish literature from Bilkent University in 2011\, with a \ndissertation titled “Empire and Novel: Placing Armeno-Turkish Novels in Ottoman/Turkish Literary Historiography”. Cankara’s research \nfocuses on the novels written by Armenians in the Turkish language \nusing the Armenian script\, specifically those from the second half of the nineteenth century. His areas of interest are the literary culture of the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century in which Armenians play a prominent role\, cultural interactions between Ottoman Armenians and Muslim/Turks\, the appropriation of Turkish by Armenians\, and \nthe historiography of Ottoman/Turkish literature.\n\nCo-sponsor: CMENAS.\n\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Neil Halstead
DESCRIPTION: Solo music by the frontman of Slowdive and Mojave 3\n\nOne night while in the studio with Neil Halstead a friend questioned him as to what kind of music he played. Neil’s extremely thick beard turned into a smile as he said “Nylon Rock” before laughing and turning back to his beer. In the late 1990s Neil fronted a band called Slowdive\, and after a couple of really good records they split. From there Neil formed his current band Mojave 3\, who have released four records to date. At the core of those bands was Neil and his songwriting\, and nowadays his main medium is a nylon-string guitar and a couple of shakers. Neil writes songs that are very personal to him\, and he invites everyone to take their own meanings away from his lyrics (“Go skies and thrones and wings. And poetry and things” from the song “Elevenses”). Neil Halstead is an old soul and his newest solo record is exactly who he is: welcoming\, warm\, clever and kind. Philadelphia songwriter Jim Hanft opens.
