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:10376-1174017@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Cortical implants can record from hundreds of individual neurons in motor cortex. Machine learning techniques can be used to generate useful control signals from this neural activity. In recent years\, there has been substantial progress improving these systems in several areas. Performance can now surpass typically used EMG control signals for artificial limbs\, and animals can control computer cursors with brain activity 80-105% as well as they can with their native hand. There have also been substantial improvements in electrode longevity\, due to signal processing techniques\, which can enable devices to function across multiple years. Also\, several integrated circuits have been developed to process many channels of neural activity with a very small device. However\, significant challenges still remain to package these systems such that the active electronics can remain in the brain for many years\, or to develop fully implantable neural interfaces that require no external wearable components. Finally\, there is a large portion of the paralyzed community whose primary need is for finger and grasp control\, which has not previously been attempted in a real time experiment. Currently\, two human safety trials are being completed using multi-channel neural implants in motor cortex. If these challenges can be met\, it is possible for this brain machine interfaces to become widely available for the treatment of paralysis.

She completed the B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University\, and the PhD at Stanford\, also in Electrical Engineering.

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.

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:10076-1175114@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:20121026T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121026T170000 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.

It is an essential element for virtually all life forms due to its presence in heme-containing proteins\, with biological functions including oxygen transportation\, chemical catalysis\, and electron transfer. Electron exchange between ferrous and ferric iron determines the availability of iron in the biosphere by influencing the form of key iron-bearing minerals and their transformation pathways. Under environmentally relevant conditions this exchange involves interaction between aqueous ferrous iron and solid-phase ferrous iron oxides and oxyhydroxides\, with complex involvement of solid-state charge migration. Examples include Fe(II)-catalyzed recrystallization of hematite and goethite\, and mixed-valent spinels such as magnetite acting as a mineralogic source and sink for reactive Fe(II) due to its topotactic solid-solution property. Ferrous-ferric electron exchange is also essential for microbial respiration via the evolution-optimized molecular machinery present in metal-respiring bacteria. This machinery transmits current across their cell membranes using redox metalloprotein modules comprised of distinct multiheme c-type cytochromes. This presentation explores the dynamics of ferrous-ferric electron exchange in such systems at the atomic and nanoscale levels from theory\, computational molecular simulation\, spectroscopy\, and microscopy. It identifies impacts on reaction rates and mechanisms in the biogeochemical cycle of iron. More generally the topic also illustrates the importance of molecular science for making fundamental advances in understanding the environmental biogeochemistry of the earth’s near-surface.

One of the goals of this symposium is to consider critically how meaning is generated from specific sites\, and how context changes our understanding of the work of art. “Alternative” is viewed as an open category that might embrace unusual or overlooked spaces and display practices\, or encourage new\, critical approaches to traditional exhibition arenas (galleries\, museums\, etc.). Another goal is to spur interdisciplinary dialogue\, intellectual debate\, and to broaden the community of art historians and other scholars working with visual material and culture beyond the walls of the University of Michigan.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the University of Michigan Department of the History of Art\, UMMA\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

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:10401-1174078@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:20121027T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121027T170000 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.

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:10076-1175115@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:20121027T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121027T170000 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.

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:10076-1175116@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:20121028T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121028T170000 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.

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:10076-1175117@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:20121029T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121029T170000 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.

He is an adjunct assistant professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning\, and Preservation in New York City where he leads an advanced studio.

Trying to capture the sound of a poem in translation is something else entirely. In a presentation that is part lecture\, part performance\, Jonathan Stalling will demonstrate different ways to hear the problem of sound in translation and explore some of his solutions. In a series of “experiments\,” Stalling will discuss\, chant\, and recite Chinese poetry in Chinese\, English\, and in both at the same time.\n\nDr. Stalling is Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Oklahoma specializing in American and Transpacific Poetry and Poetics. He is the co-founder and an editor of Chinese Literature Today magazine (CLT)\, and the editor of the CLT Book Series (at the University of Oklahoma Press).\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, the LSA Translation Theme Semester\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, and the Center for Chinese Studies.

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.

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:10076-1175118@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:20121030T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121030T170000 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.

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. 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:10076-1175119@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:20121031T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121031T170000 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.

It is fascinating to observe the growing cultural diversity in Korea despite the fact that Korean society is still struggling with race due to its dominant ideology of a “one-blooded ethnic nation.” This presentation examines the representation of South Asian migrant workers in three South Korean films – Bandhobi (Shin Dong-il\, 2009)\, Where is Ronny (Shim Sang-gook\, 2009)\, and Banga? Banga! (Uk Sang-hyo\, 2010) – against the larger contexts of political\, economic\, and social transformation in South Korea.

The recipient of the University of California Distinguished Teaching Award in 1983 and many national fellowships\, she is the editor of the The Maimie Papers\, a New York Times Notable Book in l978 and author of The Lost Sisterhood: Prostitution in America (1982) and of The World Split Open: How The Modern Women’s Movement Changed America (rev. ed.\, 2006). The World Split Open was named a Book of the Month and Quality Paperback Selection\, Los Angeles Times Best Books published in 2000\, and a finalist for the Non-Fiction Award of the Bay Area Reviewers Association. A former columnist for the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle\, Rosen serves on the editorial board of Dissent Magazine\, is a regular contributor to Talking Points Memo\, and OpenDemocracy\, and has been published on TomDispatch.com\, History News Network\, Religious Dispatches.com\, Common Dreams.org\, AlterNet.org\, Open Democracy.com\, DoubleXX\, and other online magazines. Her hundreds of opinion essays can be found at www.ruthrosen.org. She was not at Port Huron\, but has been an activist in all the social movements of the sixties. She is currently Scholar in Residence at the Center for the Study of Right-Wing Movements\, University of California\, Berkeley.\n\n***\n\n“A New Insurgency: The Port Huron Statement in its Time and Ours” brings together world-renowned activists and scholars to mark the 50th anniversary of The Port Huron Statement \, the historic manifesto of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) first issued in June 1962. Tapping the viewpoints of those present at the creation of the Statement as well as those historians\, humanists\, and social scientists who have studied that period\, “A New Insurgency” draws attention to the complex scene of social-justice and leftwing activist movements that laid the seed-bed for The Port Huron Statement –and then helped spread and amplify its visions of social change.\n\nThe legacy of those movements\, and the ideals of The Port Huron Statement\, have returned to center-stage amid the stunning sweep of mass protest in pursuit of democracy and social justice over the past two years\, from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street and continuing collective action against the hardships of austerity. This gathering at the University of Michigan will test the significance of the new insurgency of the early 1960s for the new insurgents of 2011-2012. We welcome a broad audience to the conversation.\n\nSDS’s Port Huron Statement offered the most comprehensive analysis of American society and most eloquent vision for radical reform to be generated by the emerging movement known as the New Left. Young radical intellectuals–including\, in crucial leadership roles\, undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Michigan–produced the document\, but their inspiration stemmed from the energy and moral example already set by activists in the civil rights and peace movements\, anticolonial struggles abroad\, new signs of dissent from Latin America to Eastern Europe\, and older leftwing ideas in need of renovation.\n\nDrafters of The Port Huron Statement were keenly aware of many of these forces\; in 1962\, they may not have recognized others that were stirring as well. Speakers at the conference will examine the open\, and sometimes hidden\, elements of the new insurgent spirit of that time–including trends in feminism\, Black nationalism\, Latina/o and Native American struggles for recognition and power\, rebellious currents around the world\, gay liberation\, and developments in the arts that tracked the course of rising protest.\n\n“A New Insurgency” will engage today’s generation of students and activists in all the conference proceedings. Following this year’s summer-reading programs focused on The Port Huron Statement (for incoming UM first-years in several special college programs)\, the conference will feature an all-student panel on the meaning of the Statement’s New Left principles today. A concluding panel on Friday\, November 2\, will feature representatives of current campus activist groups discussing the present and future course of movements for equality\, social justice\, and democracy. Lunch-time sessions on Thursday and Friday will provide “open mic” discussion by veterans of the “Port Huron” moment and newcomers to the history of that time.\n\n“A New Insurgency” runs from Wednesday\, October 31\, 7:30 pm\, through the evening of Friday\, November 2. Daily panels are held in the Pendleton and Anderson Rooms of the Michigan Union on S. State St. Wednesday's Keynote Address (Ruth Rosen) will be held in Angell Hall Auditorium B\, 7:30-9:00pm.

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. 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.

Revered manga artist Tezuka Osamu attempted to disrupt the typical “development” mythologies when crafting his three-volume work Shumari (1973)\, at once a riveting adventure\, intriguing mystery\, sentimental romance\, and sweeping historical drama set in the northern “frontier.” Yet\, a tension suffuses Shumari\, with its eponymous ethnic cross-dressing Japanese protagonist\, as it both subverts and reinforces timeworn images of Ainu.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nMichele M.

Recent and current political turmoil in Mediterranean countries and the question of whether European states should intervene (or not) evokes the historical trajectory of European colonialism in the Mediterranean. This talk argues that with few recent exceptions the historiography of the modern Mediterranean suffers from a fragmentation into national and regional studies of colonial history of North Africa and the Middle East. The talk also argues for a more ”˜interventionist’ approach that refashions Mediterranean history as part of the history of colonialism and includes different geohistories that go beyond the current methodological nationalism\; by bringing Southern Europe into the debate on the Colonial Mediterranean\, a new understanding of European history and its colonial dimension is possible and indeed necessary. Such an approach relates to current debates about the neo-colonialism of real economic dependence and the neo-orientalism of assumed political immaturity. \n\nSakis Gekas is an Assistant Professor teaching Modern Greek and Mediterranean History at York University\, Toronto.

An early member of SDS in Ann Arbor\, he led the SDS community-organizing project in Newark\, N.J.\, and became a prominent leader of the movement against the Vietnam War. He was the principal drafter of The Port Huron Statement. Tom Hayden drafted and finalized The Port Huron Statement in June 1962. He is editor of Participatory Democracy (Paradigm\, 2012)\, and author of The Long Sixties\, The Lost Gospel of the Earth\, Street Wars\, and The Zapatista Reader\, among others. He served in the California Legislature (1982-2000)\, where he chaired committees on labor\, environment and higher education. His writings are at tomhayden.com.\n\n***\n\n“A New Insurgency: The Port Huron Statement in its Time and Ours” brings together world-renowned activists and scholars to mark the 50th anniversary of The Port Huron Statement \, the historic manifesto of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) first issued in June 1962. Tapping the viewpoints of those present at the creation of the Statement as well as those historians\, humanists\, and social scientists who have studied that period\, “A New Insurgency” draws attention to the complex scene of social-justice and leftwing activist movements that laid the seed-bed for The Port Huron Statement –and then helped spread and amplify its visions of social change.\n\nThe legacy of those movements\, and the ideals of The Port Huron Statement\, have returned to center-stage amid the stunning sweep of mass protest in pursuit of democracy and social justice over the past two years\, from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street and continuing collective action against the hardships of austerity. This gathering at the University of Michigan will test the significance of the new insurgency of the early 1960s for the new insurgents of 2011-2012. We welcome a broad audience to the conversation.\n\nSDS’s Port Huron Statement offered the most comprehensive analysis of American society and most eloquent vision for radical reform to be generated by the emerging movement known as the New Left. Young radical intellectuals–including\, in crucial leadership roles\, undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Michigan–produced the document\, but their inspiration stemmed from the energy and moral example already set by activists in the civil rights and peace movements\, anticolonial struggles abroad\, new signs of dissent from Latin America to Eastern Europe\, and older leftwing ideas in need of renovation.\n\nDrafters of The Port Huron Statement were keenly aware of many of these forces\; in 1962\, they may not have recognized others that were stirring as well. Speakers at the conference will examine the open\, and sometimes hidden\, elements of the new insurgent spirit of that time–including trends in feminism\, Black nationalism\, Latina/o and Native American struggles for recognition and power\, rebellious currents around the world\, gay liberation\, and developments in the arts that tracked the course of rising protest.\n\n“A New Insurgency” will engage today’s generation of students and activists in all the conference proceedings. Following this year’s summer-reading programs focused on The Port Huron Statement (for incoming UM first-years in several special college programs)\, the conference will feature an all-student panel on the meaning of the Statement’s New Left principles today. A concluding panel on Friday\, November 2\, will feature representatives of current campus activist groups discussing the present and future course of movements for equality\, social justice\, and democracy. Lunch-time sessions on Thursday and Friday will provide “open mic” discussion by veterans of the “Port Huron” moment and newcomers to the history of that time.\n\n“A New Insurgency” runs from Wednesday\, October 31\, 7:30 pm\, through the evening of Friday\, November 2. Daily panels are held in the Pendleton and Anderson Rooms of the Michigan Union on S. State St. Wednesday's Keynote Address (Ruth Rosen) will be held in Angell Hall Auditorium B\, 7:30-9:00pm. Thursday's Keynote Address (Tom Hayden) will be held in East Hall 1324\, 7:30-9:00pm.\n\n UID:11119-1176379@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11119 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:port huron,port huron 50,social justice,student org LOCATION:East Hall - 1324 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121029T085439 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121101T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121101T213000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Conference: A New Insurgency: The Port Huron Statement in its Time and Ours: Keynote Address by Tom Hayden DESCRIPTION:Legendary author and activist Tom Hayden drafted and finalized The Port Huron Statement in June of 1962.

Relying on compelling narrative\, natural stage chemistry\, and a seamless interplay between their 1950s acoustics and well-constructed harmony lines which play more like counterpoint melodies. The Milk Carton Kids have drawn in and excited sold-out crowds across North America since their formation in early 2011. The serendipitous meeting between the two (Kenneth Pattengale & Joey Ryan) led quickly to a shelving of the solo careers each had been pursuing. While neither had been compelled to such collaboration with peers before\, an effortless musical complementarity\, fast personal fondness\, and a like-minded view toward how to present the collaboration to their fans influenced the duo’s formation and\, almost immediately\, began drawing praise from varied sources. While the press has indeed been kind to this duo\, their spirit of independence compelled them to release their first two albums on their own label directly to their fans for free.
