They have already demonstrated significant improvements in electronic and optoelectronic device performance. These non fossil fuel-based photonic and electronic Biopolymer materials\, derived from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biowaste and silk\, are abundant\, inexpensive and green materials that will not deplete our natural resources or harm the environment. They have the potential to compete with\, or maybe someday even replace\, fossil fuel-based plastics for applications ranging from eyeglasses to the higher technology applications light emitting diodes\, transistors and solar cells. Preliminary in-house research in this area started around 1999 and since then low optical losses of < 0.5dB/cm over a broad wavelength have been achieved\, electrical conductivities 3-10 orders of magnitude higher than other polymer materials have also been achieved and they are tunable. Their microwave losses are also lower than other polymers\, making them very attractive for high speed electro-optic devices. Used as cladding layers in nonlinear polymer-based electro optic modulators a significant reduction in the overall optical insertion loss of these devices has been achieved\, dropping from 15 dB to 10dB\, or a 3X improvement. The first all-DNA electro-optic modulator\, with significantly lower losses than current polymer EO modulators has also been demonstrated and has the potential for operating at significantly lower power. Using another DNA-based Biopolymer for an electron-blocking layer in an organic light emitting diode (OLED)\, the first red\, blue and green Bio-Organic LEDs were demonstrated that were as much as 30X brighter and operated at 10X higher efficiency and 3X longer lifetimes compared with OLED’s without the Biopolymer electron-blocking layer. Using a DNA-based Biopolymer for the gate dielectric layer in an organic field effect transistor (OFET)\, the first Bio-Organic FET was demonstrated that operated at nearly an order of magnitude lower gate voltage compared with OFETs using the commonly used dielectric polymers for the gate dielectric. Using Biopolymers as host materials\, a significant increase the photoluminescence of fluorescent materials by as much as 100 times has been achieved\, when compared with other commonly used polymer hosts. This suggests significantly increased device efficiencies\, higher outputs\, lower operating powers and longer lifetimes. The first organic thin film transistor (OTFT) using a conductive polymer doped Biopolymer for the semiconductor region (Bio-Organic TFT) has been demonstrated with a competitive carrier mobility of other organic semiconductor devices but at 10X lower cost. This new Biotronics technology shows great promise for a number of both photonic and electronic applications\, with demonstrated increase in device performance. This opens up a whole new field for bioengineering\, in addition to the current genomic sequencing and clinical diagnosis and treatment applications. Where silicon is today’s fundamental building block for inorganic electronics and photonics\, Biopolymers hold promise to become tomorrow’s fundamental building block for organic photonics and electronics.

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.

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:10076-1175149@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:20121130T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121130T170000 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.

This river\, which flows about 6 miles from Taipei to the northern port city of Tamsui\, has captured the imagination of creative artists for decades. Paintings\, songs\, and other creative works from the first half of the twentieth century cast the river in idyllic settings. These images stand in stark contrast to the Tamsui as it has existed since the mid twentieth century. As Taiwan's \"economic miracle\" took precedence over environmental concerns\, the Tamsui turned into a toxic\, open sewer. The river's serious pollution became the subject of films\, theatrical pieces\, and numerous popular songs beginning in the early 1980s. Guy draws on the theories and concerns of literary ecocriticism in referencing representative works.

Mohler Prize Lecture DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Astronomy Department will present the 2012/2013 Mohler Prize to Andrew Fabian of the Institute of Astronomy on Friday\, November 30 at 7 PM in 1201 Chemistry Bldg. Dr. Fabian will then present a public lecture:\n\n\"Feedback from Active Black Holes: How a central black hole can control a galaxy\"\n\nAll large galaxies appear to have a central black hole with a mass about 0.1% that of the host galaxy. Evidence is growing that the black hole may be the prime mover here\, despite the radius of the galaxy being a billion times larger than the radius of the black hole. The key point is the enormous quantity of energy produced by matter accreting onto the black hole. At times this makes the galaxy nucleus active and cause energy to be fed back into the galaxy to push and heat its gas clouds. How these processes operate and how the energy interacts with the gas will be discussed and illustrated with images from the radio through X-ray wavebands.\n\nDr. Andrew Fabian is a Royal Society Research Professor at the Institute of Astronomy\, Cambridge. He has served as President of the Royal Astronomical Society and is Vice Master of Darwin College\, Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society\, has been awarded an Order of the British Empire\, won the Rossi Prize in 2001\, and the Dannie Heineman Prize in 2008. His research interests include black holes\, clusters of galaxies\, and X-ray astronomy.\n\nOrren C Mohler was chairman of the Department of Astronomy and director of the observatories from 1962 - 1970. The Mohler Prize was established in 1986\, to recognize outstanding research in astronomy and astrophysics. Several past Mohler prize winners have gone on to receive Nobel or Crafoord prizes.\n\nMembers of the public are invited to Angell Hall following the lecture for an SAS open house UID:11485-1177001@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11485 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:astronomy,free,lecture,physics,science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 Chemistry Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121116T150442 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121130T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Amazin' Blue: Amazin' Race DESCRIPTION:Amazin Blue presents our Fall Concert 'Amazin Blue: Amazin Race' on November 30th in Rackham Auditorium at 8:00 pm.

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:10076-1175150@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:20121201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121201T170000 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:10076-1175151@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:20121202T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121202T170000 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.

The absence of federal legislation on this issue places state and local governments in central roles on such issues as environmental protection\, information disclosure\, and severance taxation. Pennsylvania has emerged as a major player in this arena\, with dramatic increases in fossil fuel production alongside enactment of major new legislation in early 2012. Michigan appears to be a candidate for expanded fracking operations\, with a number of policy questions beginning to emerge. This panel will review emerging patterns in policy development in these two states as well as nationally. It will also feature findings from a new CLOSUP study examining public opinion in both Michigan and Pennsylvania on many dimensions of this issue.\n\nPanelist Biographies: \nChristopher P.

We will discuss the conflicts between the Shah and Prime Minister Mossadeq\, later Ayatollah Khomeini\, and the overthrow of the Shah in 1979. After the stolen 2007 Iranian Presidential elections and economic sanctions by the West\, the present clerical regime faces great challenges to its survival.

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:10076-1175152@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:20121203T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121203T170000 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.

Allison goes from leading her band\, BOOM TIC BOOM\, to playing with legendary songwriting vocalists Ani DiFranco\, Brandi Carlile and Natalie Merchant\, to touring with avant-garde saxophonist Marty Ehrlich and legendary organist Doctor Lonnie Smith. She approaches each of these musical situations with her own stylistic identity and a creative\, fresh and energetic approach. Allison was chosen as “Rising Star Drummer” in Downbeat’s 53rd and 58th Annual Critics Poll. Over the course of two decades and more than 30 recordings\, Myra Melford has carved out a distinctive niche among creative music’s most respected pianist-composers. Her signature sound skillfully combines early influences such as classical music and the traditional blues piano styles of her native Chicago with her later immersion in the music of Eastern Europe and India and extensive musical studies with such legendary figures as Ran Blake\, Jaki Byard\, Don Pullen and Henry Threadgill.

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:10076-1175153@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:20121204T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121204T170000 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.

Hundreds of projects--and a flood of media attention--illustrate how this new access is revolutionizing the field of information and communication technologies for development (ICTD). As billions of mobile phones are sold around the world\, more people are able to access the internet via the wireless/cellphone infrastructure. Downloads and uploads\, chat and photo sharing\, crop prices and medical records\, the profound and the mundane--all can be checked and updated on-the-go\, and by many who just a few years ago would have had virtually no chance to be online.\n \nHowever\, this is not a breathless story of universal\, transformational success. Although the mobile internet is cheap to deploy\, flexible\, and approachable\, it can also be hard to use for complex tasks\, is expensive on a per-bit basis\, and is not as open as the traditional web. In this talk\, Jonathan Donner\, a researcher in the Technology for Emerging Markets Group at Microsoft Research India\, challenges the easy language of a \"closed\" digital divide with an examination of the persistent differences in affordability and constraints confronting mobile-centric internet users\, and suggests some priorities for ICTD research.\n \n\n \n\n UID:11478-1176996@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11478 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:information and technology LOCATION:North Quad - Ehrlicher Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121127T124508 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121204T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121204T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Inaudible Dictionaries DESCRIPTION:This is the concluding event to the two-day symposium \"Silence and Translation\,\" hosted by the LSA 2012 Translation Theme Semester. \n\nThe panel will include visiting filmmakers Trinh T.

To analyze sectarianism through the lens of social welfare\, this talk focuses on the varying welfare distribution strategies of Christian\, Shia Muslim\, and Sunni Muslim political parties in Lebanon\, where social service provision is a terrain of political contestation. Why do some “sectarian” providers distribute welfare goods broadly\, even to non-coreligionists\, while others allocate services more narrowly? Based on extensive field research and diverse forms of quantitative and qualitative data\, this research unpacks the political logics of the distribution of social goods by sectarian organizations. Non-state welfare performs a critical function in the absence of capable state institutions\, but it comes at a price. When partisanship and ethnic or religious identity mediate access to welfare\, social divisions and inequalities can emerge or become further entrenched. Beyond caring for the needy\, service provision by sectarian groups may also sustain competing visions of the polity and introduce new dimensions of social inequalities.\n\nMelani Cammett is Associate Professor of Political Science\, the Dupee Faculty Fellow at the Watson Institute for International Studies\, and a faculty associate at the Population Studies and Training Center at Brown University. Her first book\, Globalization and Business Politics in North Africa: A Comparative Perspective (Cambridge University Press\, 2007)\, analyzes the impact of globalization on state-business relations in Morocco and Tunisia. Cammett’s second book\, Welfare and Sectarianism in Divided Societies\, explores how sectarian organizations allocate social welfare goods and is based on extensive research in Lebanon with short case studies of organizations in Iraq and India. An article based on this research won the 2011 Alexander L. George Award of the Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research Section of the American Political Science Association. A co-edited book manuscript\, “The Politics of Non-State Social Welfare in the Global South\,” examines the origins\, evolution and consequences of non-state welfare provision for state-building and human security in diverse regions. Her new research project explores governance and the politics of social service provision by Islamists and other public and private actors in the Middle East. Cammett’s articles have appeared in World Politics\, Journal of Conflict Resolution\, Studies in Comparative International Development\, Comparative Politics\, World Development\, and other journals and publications. Cammett holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California\, Berkeley and an M.A. from the Fletcher School at Tufts University and teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on comparative politics\, the political economy of development\, research design\, and Middle East politics.

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:10076-1175154@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:20121205T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121205T170000 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.

In past centuries\, nomadic pasture lands cut through and across state borders. Echoing this heritage\, contemporary Kazakhs describe and justify a variety of practices\, from crossing borders to obtaining illegal passports\, in terms of a shared ”˜Kazakh’ cultural history of movement. The stories people evoke and tell about the connection and “Kazakhness” (Kazakhshylykh) evidence the simultaneous idealization of both ancestral rootedness and mobility as fundamental to a sense of “belonging” to the land. Thus\, Genina argues for the viability of alternative worldviews in which the nation-state\, with its attending conceptions of history\, territoriality\, and membership\, has become but one aspect of people’s broader experiences of creating compelling and meaningful ways of life.\n\nAnna Genina is a doctoral candidate in cultural anthropology at the University of Michigan. She has been researching issues of Kazakh diaspora and the migration of Kazakhs from Mongolia to Kazakhstan\, and has conducted ethnographic fieldwork with Mongolian Kazakh repatriates in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan and in the Bayan Ulgii Kazakh Autonomous District in Western Mongolia (2006-09). Her research focuses on movement\, kinship\, and hospitality as central to the conceptions and practices of belonging and identification among Kazakhs in Inner Asia.

Michele Gornick\, PhD\, will present a talk entitled\, \"The Incidentalome: Unanticipated ethical challenges uncovered in our genomes.\" Please also share with interested students\, faculty\, and staff.\n\nSummary: Recent advances in sequencing technology have enabled the systematic analysis of whole genomes\, providing greater insight into the genetic basis of human disease. Using such technologies\, including whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES)\, increases the possibility of encountering variants known to cause disease\, suspected to cause disease\, or those that are outside the original intent of testing. The latter are often referred to as incidental findings (IFs). While the discovery of IFs is a component of WGS/WES\, the way in which the data is generated from genomic sequencing creates new ethical challenges associated with IFs that have direct clinical implications for patient health and personal utility.\n\nDr. Gornick received her PhD in Human Genetics at the University of Michigan\, as well as a Masters in Statistics.

As the pressure to be proficient in English\, reinforced by the Korean globalization drive called segyehwa (Lee\, 2011)\, is mounting\, the increasing presence of English expressions is observed in the entertainment media. Blending lexicon is a manifestation of both global consciousness and local sensibility. It concurrently manifests linguistic creativity and linguistic anxiety\, both serving and challenging performers and viewers alike. Korean ”˜entertainers’ use linguistic hybridization in their performance\, euphemizing and mitigating potentially offensive and vulgar discourses\, representing fresh concepts that recently emerged\, repackaging old concepts in a new light\, and marking both self and others’ identities. Language blending is often used in creating a comic relief and eliciting laughter from panelists and studio audience. TV functions as a cultural medium reflecting and reproducing hybridized linguistic practices\, both real and imagined\, and Korean celebrities utilize hybridized medialect to fulfill their roles as entertainers.\n\nJamie Shinhee Lee is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and editor of World Englishes in Pop Culture (with Yamuna Kachru) and English in Asian Popular Culture (with Andrew Moody). She specializes in Sociolinguistics and her research interests include world Englishes\, language and popular culture\, globalization and education policy\, bilingualism\, and Korean pragmatics /discourse analysis.

For the past twenty five years\, the members of Cherish the Ladies have proven themselves worthy to live up to these accolades and in doing so have become one of the most engaging ensembles in the history of Irish music. Taking their name from a traditional Irish jig\, the group initially began in New York in 1985 with a series of concerts celebrating the rise of female musicians in a once male-dominated scene. Under the leadership of the dynamic and irrepressible Joanie Madden on flutes and whistles\, they have grown from a one-time concert concept to an Irish traditional music sensation and are the most successful and sought after Irish-American group in Celtic 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. 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:10076-1175155@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:20121206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121206T170000 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 attention to monetary questions suggests a different story.\n\nThe revolutionaries’ creation of the assignats (paper currency backed by nationalized Church lands) and that currency’s demise six years later remains one of the most famous historical instances of monetary innovation. While most scholarship has followed classical and neo-classical economists in arguing that the problem was chiefly one of quantity (too much paper was printed and inflation “inevitably” resulted)\, Professor Spang wants instead to consider what this episode tells us about the French state. Throughout most of the early-modern and modern era\, states have monopolized the legal production of money (as they have the legitimate use of force). She argues that the revolutionaries of 1789-1793 and 1795-1799 did not intend to subvert this monopoly but they did so nonetheless\, through their economic policies and practices. Their commitment to an extreme version of liberalism–one in which even the trade in money was more or less “free”–was intended to strengthen the economy. Instead\, by encouraging locally produced small change and refusing to enforce the circulation of paper on par with metal\, revolutionaries undermined the assignats and weakened the credibility of the nation-state that had issued them. In their attempt to strengthen the economy by freeing it\, revolutionaries weakened the state.\n\nRebecca Spang studied at Harvard and Cornell and was a member of the Michigan Society of Fellows. Her first book\, The Invention of the Restaurant: Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture won several prizes and has been translated into five languages. Her Stuff and Money in the Time of the French Revolution is forthcoming from Harvard University Press.

To succeed in the southern market\, manufacturers of hoes\, hats\, shoes and shovels needed to satisfy slaves as well as slaveholders. In the circuits of knowledge that linked plantation and factory\, enslaved men and women played a collaborative role in the design of particular textiles and tools\; their preferences for certain products and critiques of others structured patterns of labor hundreds of miles to the north. This investigation brings together the concerns of material culture studies\, history of technology\, business history\, and the history of slavery.
