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:10076-1175116@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. 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.

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. 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.

He founded an architecture organization – the name of which changed several times between 1989-2001 – currently called R&Sie(n). Since the organization's beginnings\, Roche sought to articulate contradictions of architecture and to widen the field. It is comparable to a landscape\, a device\, a singularity – is it an attractive or repulsive curiosity. Today Roche develops a production structure of architecture titled New-Territories\, via R&Sie(n). 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. He was also a visiting professor from 2009 to early 2011 within the newly restructured master of architecture post-professional program at the University of Southern California\, School of Architecture\, Los Angeles. Roche studied in Chalon-sur-Saone\, and afterward entered scientific preparatory school in Lyon\, France. He left that school prior to graduating\, and enrolled at the school of architecture of Versailles and graduated in 1988.\n UID:11109-1176369@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11109 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building - A+A Auditorium (Rm 2104) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120927T120434 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121029T181000 SUMMARY:Performance:David Mitchell\, Zell Distinguished Writer in Residence DESCRIPTION:Reception and booksigning in the Forum from 5–6 pm\n\nDavid Mitchell is the acclaimed author of the novels Cloud Atlas\, which was a Man Booker Prize finalist and which was recently made into a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks\; Black Swan Green\, which was selected as one of the 10 Best Books of the Year by Time\; Number9Dream\, which was short-listed for the Man Booker as well as the James Tait Black Memorial Prize\; Ghostwritten\, awarded the Mail on Sunday/John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for best book by a writer under thirty-five and short-listed for the Guardian First Book Award\; and most recently\, The Thousand Autums of Jacob de Zoet.

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:10076-1175118@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 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:10076-1175119@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. It explores how growing ethnic diversity and demographic changes in South Korea have impacted the transformation of modern Korean identity and cinematic imagination of Korean nationhood\, citizenship\, kinship\, and racial and ethnic identities. \n\nMina Shin earned her Ph.D. in Critical Studies from the University of Southern California. She is currently working on a book project that examines the politics of multiculturalism and the representation of ethnic otherness in South Korean cinema\, including the images of South and Southeast Asian migrant workers and marriage migrants\, as well as Korean diaspora\, such as Chosunjok (Korean Chinese)\, Zainichi Koreans (Korean Japanese)\, and North Korean refugees.

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. 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:10076-1175120@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:20121101T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121101T170000 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.

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.

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. You might have heard them on a recent NPR Tiny Desk Concert–now experience this rising young pair in person. Leslie Stevens and The Badgers from L.A. open!

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. 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:10076-1175121@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:20120913T112548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121102T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121102T123000 SUMMARY:Other:Making Impact: Presentation Strategy for Graduate Students DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop will help you make the most of your professional presentation.

The SS Forum is intended to explore topics of interest to those involved in the Sustainable Systems field of study\, but all are welcome to attend these events. Speakers will present on topics in sustainability with opportunities for the audience to engage in the discussion.\n\nSPEAKER: Mikhail (Mike) Chester\, Assistant Professor at Arizona State University in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment and an Affiliate Faculty in the School of Sustainability\n\nABSTRACT:\nWith increasing populations\, remote resource and waste networks\, and complex hard and soft infrastructure systems\, sustainability policies often target cities as catalyzing agents for regional environmental change. The predominant approach for analyzing the sustainability of cities\, Urban Metabolism\, has provided value in understanding how resources are used\, transformed\, accumulated\, and discharged\, but does not provide a rigorous framework for understanding human health\, environmental impacts\, or social equity outcomes. This talk will present several new approaches for advancing urban sustainability assessment. These approaches use life-cycle assessment to assess infrastructure systems as enablers of emergent behaviors that are sustainable or unsustainable. Research projects from Los Angeles and Phoenix will be presented and the approaches will show the importance of understanding infrastructure interdependencies and high-resolution analyses that allows for meaningful socio-demographic assessment. The projects will highlight how bottom-up systems-oriented energy and environmental assessments can be positioned to assist urban sustainability policy and decision makers.

ODP Leg 206 and IODP Expeditions 309 and 312 drilled Hole 1256D through flows\, dikes\, and two gabbro layers\, for the first time finding\, in a single hole\, the physical stratigraphy expected from ophiolite analogies. The gabbro layers were found at the depth expected if they formed from the bodies imaged as bright reflectors by seismic techniques at mid-ocean ridges\, widely interpreted as magma chambers or melt lenses. The composition of the gabbro layers overlaps with composition of flows and dikes\, more evolved than reasonable models for the average composition of oceanic crust. Though our understanding is far from complete\, bulk-rock compositions and degree of hydrothermal alteration exclude some models for mid-ocean ridge plumbing and favor others.

But what really sets them apart is instrumental artistry that adds deeper jazz and funk layers to the sound. \"With a finger-picking style that has been compared to Leo Kottke and Ani DiFranco\, soul-folk songwriting skills in the tradition of Martin Sexton\, and a singing voice constantly compared to Stevie Wonder\, there is clearly an abundance of talent here\,\" the Green Mountain College Journal says of former coffeehouse folkster Montbleau. And this may be a Northeastern band\, but there's a zydeco layer in their music too! Ryan's latest album\, \"For Higher\,\" was recorded with a great lineup of New Orleans musicians (call it getting in touch with your inner Acadian)\, and it contains a great cover of Eddie Hinton's \"Yeah Man.\" Listen and enjoy!

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:10076-1175122@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:20121103T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121103T170000 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.

But first she must contend with the responsibility closest to her heart. \n\n\"Outbound is a gripping film\, a hard-nosed little thriller [”¦] Ana Ularu carries the film with assurance\, letting the character's femininity and mothering instinct show only in subtle smiles and gestures. There is considerable suspense.\" The Hollywood Reporter\nThis program is part of the Fourth Annual Romanian Film Festival at UMMA.

Recently he's been showing up at next-generation roots events like Hollerfest and fitting right in. Dick is an immensely gifted and versatile composer. Ranging from jump blues and Buddy Holly-style pop to folk balladry and new folk lyricism\, his songs offer all sorts of immediate lyrical and musical pleasures. Dick was named in WDET's list of the most important and influential artists in the history of Detroit\, alongside legends such as John Lee Hooker\, Stevie Wonder\, and Aretha Franklin. \"I'm celebratory–I celebrate life from the huge to the minute\, from the tragic to the hilarious\,\" he explains. In concert\, he expertly steps into the roles of a raconteur\, a confidante\, your best friend\, a prophet\, a comedian\, a pair of eyes on the universe\, and an interpreter of daydreams.
