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.

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.

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.

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 UID:10076-1175102@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121014T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121014T170000 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.

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 UID:10401-1174066@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10401 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:maps,travel,university library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, Second Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120808T110502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121015T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121015T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Architecture+Adaptation: Designing for Hypercomplexity DESCRIPTION:Call 734-764-0352 for exhibit availability.

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 UID:10376-1174006@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:10076-1175103@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121003T101705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121015T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121015T183000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:U-Move Fitness Drop-in Classes During Fall Study Break Days DESCRIPTION:U-Move Fitness is offering special drop-in classes during Fall Study Break.

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 UID:10401-1174067@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10401 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:maps,travel,university library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, Second Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120808T110502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121016T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121016T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Architecture+Adaptation: Designing for Hypercomplexity DESCRIPTION:Call 734-764-0352 for exhibit availability.

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 UID:10376-1174007@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:10076-1175104@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121003T101705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121016T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121016T183000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:U-Move Fitness Drop-in Classes During Fall Study Break Days DESCRIPTION:U-Move Fitness is offering special drop-in classes during Fall Study Break.

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 UID:10376-1174008@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Although severe anxiety troubled Todd throughout his early childhood\, with therapy and the support of his family\, he overcame the disorder and went on to have a rich high school experience\, later earning a degree in psychology from U-M.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:10076-1175105@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121017T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121017T170000 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.

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 UID:10401-1174069@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10401 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:maps,travel,university library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, Second Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120808T110502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121018T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121018T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Architecture+Adaptation: Designing for Hypercomplexity DESCRIPTION:Call 734-764-0352 for exhibit availability.

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 UID:10376-1174009@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Cole\, Associate Professor of History\, U-M\n\nThe 2012 elections in France were supposed to be boring. An unpopular incumbent was running against an insipidly nice mainstream opponent. Before the first round of voting\, however\, polls showed extremists of the left and right threatening to take nearly 40 per cent of the first-round vote.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:10076-1175106@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121018T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121018T170000 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.

Yet\, the Japanese Constitution does not recognize the nation’s right to possess any type of war potential\, and therefore the status of the SDF is still controversial. In this lecture\, Professor Sasaki will focus on the formative period of the SDF\, that is\, the 1950s and 1960s\, and discuss how the SDF sought to enlist popular support. Addressing issues concerning the SDF’s recruitment and its use of service members’ labor\, he will speak about the SDF’s roles within the Japanese economy.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nTomoyuki Sasaki is an assistant professor of history at Eastern Michigan University\, where he teaches courses on Japan and East Asia. His research interests lie in civil-military relations and peace movements. He is currently completing a book manuscript that deals with the Self-Defense Forces’ socio-economic ties with civil society in postwar Japan.

Throughout this history\, the struggle for democracy has been shaped by tension between participatory and representative forms.

Italy has been compared to other EU countries at the center of the crisis\, such as Greece and Spain\, but in spite of some common traits\, the origin and development of the crisis in each of these countries have been quite different. Because of the differences in the underlying economic structures\, the causes of the current Italian problems (such as slow economic growth\, high public debt\, high youth unemployment\, etc.) are deeply-rooted\, and the crisis only exposed many of them more clearly. Even if relevant differences among EU countries persist\, the difficulties in solving these issues are arguably similar across Europe\, and mainly political. The answer to the crisis requires the political will to put forward both national reforms and coordinated and joint policy interventions at the EU level. In the past\, the determination to maintain its role as one of the “founding members” of the European Union helped Italy to implement policies that were unthinkable in ordinary times\, in pursuit of tighter European integration\, and shocks worked as catalysts in the process\, both for Italy and for the EU as a whole. If this will once be more the case\, a way out of the crisis can certainly be found. \n\nLucia Tajoli is associate professor of economics at the Department of Management\, Economics and Industrial Engineering at Politecnico di Milano\, where she teaches Economics and International Economics.

However\, Darwin's own view was explicitly aesthetic. Dr. Prum advocates a return to Darwin's aesthetic view of sexual selection by mate choice\, in which the arbitrary sexual selection mechanism of Lande and Kirkpatrick is the null model. If mate preferences are not always under natural selection\, it is necessary to recognize the role of emergent agency of mate choice in evolutionary process. Thus\, mate choice gives rise to sexual autonomy. Because of the indirect costs of sexual coercion\, sexual autonomy will evolve to assert and expand its own control over fertilization in the face of sexual conflict. Sexual autonomy is enhanced through either evolved mechanisms of resistance or novel aesthetic preferences that have secondary limiations on sexual coercion. These issues in sexual selection and aesthetic evolution will be discussed with examples for birds and humans. \n\nSponsored by the Museum of Zoology Robert W.

From poets.org:\n\nSoleil cou coupé (Solar Throat Slashed) is Aimé Césaire’s most explosive collection of poetry. Animistically dense\, charged with eroticism and blasphemy\, and imbued with an African and Vodun spirituality\, this book takes the French surrealist adventure to new heights and depths. A Césaire poem is an intersection at which metaphoric traceries create historically aware nexuses of thought and experience\, jagged solidarity\, apocalyptic surgery\, and solar dynamite. The original 1948 French edition of Soleil cou coupé has a dense magico-religious frame of reference. In the late 1950s\, Césaire was increasingly politically focused and seeking a wider audience\, when he\, in effect\, gelded the 1948 text–eliminating 31 of the 72 poems\, and editing another 29. Until now\, only the revised 1961 edition\, called Cadastre\, has been translated. The revised text lacks the radical originality of Soleil cou coupé. This Wesleyan edition presents all the original poems en face with the new English translations. Includes an introduction by A. James Arnold and notes by Clayton Eshleman.

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 UID:10376-1174010@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

The high temperatures required to create crystalline silicon devices\, however\, has limited the application of crystalline silicon to sensing systems that work in a small and mechanically rigid form factor. The development of inorganic and organic thin film electronics has launched a second revolution in electronics\, granting the ability to process electronically active materials at low temperatures. This has allowed for two exciting opportunities: the ability to build electronic devices on the same size scale as the systems they interact with\, and the ability to integrate electronic materials on a range of substrates including electronically active and flexible materials. Our group has been working on the hybrid integration of organic semiconductors and SLS laser-recrystallized silicon with active substrates to implement sensing\, display\, and mechanical actuation functionalities. In this presentation\, I'll show how thin film electronics and the hybrid integration enabled by new semiconductor systems and process options allows for active and spatially localized control of systems that are typically used in a single element format. Using this capability we have demonstrated the electronic implementation of all five senses as well a new approaches to mechanical actuation in polymer materials and driving LEDs in display engines. In particular\, I'll show how thin film transistors can be integrated with other active materials to build monolithically integrated microphones and pressure sensors\, flexible sheet scanners\, mass-based chemical sensors\, high power light engines\, and segmented polymer actuators. It is our hope that these devices will form some of the building blocks for future electronic systems and interface paradigms with application in a range of technological and healthcare areas.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:10076-1175107@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121019T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121019T170000 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.

Like Tyrannosaurus rex\, sabre-toothed cats\, and similar apex predators\, they first became known from a famous deposit - the Cambrian Burgess Shale. Aside from their iconic status\, anomalocaridids also play an important role in our understanding of Earth history and evolution because they are keystone organisms. They are keystones because our interpretations of their biology and ecology\, based on the morphology of fossils\, anchor our understanding of how entire marine ecosystems functioned. Yet new finite element modeling\, taphonomic\, and mineralogic analyses of these extinct creatures seems to contradict the longstanding interpretation of the biology and ecology of these animals\, suggesting rather that they may have been small\, that their mouths were soft\, that they could not close their mouth\, and that they could not have possibly eaten trilobites. Similarly\, analyses of malformed or \"bitten\" trilobites interpreted to be prey suggests that they could not have been deformed by the mouth or appendages of any known anomalocaridid. Analysis of putative anomalocaridid coprolites from the same deposits suggests that coprolites were produced by other animals or inorganic processes. Based on this new work\, it is unclear if these iconic predators were really just small worm-suckers or whether they were early plankton combers. Regardless\, this new data could substantially change the way we interpret the complexity of ancient ecosystems\, the evolution of large arthropods and their kin\, and biogeochemical feedback loops in organic-rich muddy settings.

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 UID:10401-1174071@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10401 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:maps,travel,university library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, Second Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121020T170000 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.

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.

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 UID:10376-1174011@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

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 UID:10076-1175108@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121020T170000 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.
