His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition.

This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago.

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.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre.

But are good bureaucracies\, as conventionally defined\, always the best option? How can poor countries acquire good bureaucracies if they lack resources to replicate institutions of the rich?

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition.

Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago.

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.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176702@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121015T132154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130202T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130202T164500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Geometry of War: Fortification Plans for 18th Century America DESCRIPTION:Exhibit is open M-F from 1pm to 4:45 pm UID:10926-1175647@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10926 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:cartography,geography,history LOCATION:William Clements Library - Great Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130115T133629 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130202T140000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:UMS on Film Special Event: World Premiere!

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.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176703@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130115T133846 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130203T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Engaging with Art: The Great 'scape DESCRIPTION:UMMA's award-winning docents will guide visitors to experience art through active looking at selected highlights of the collections.

That the tree of life is also the life giving womb? In new work illuminating familiar favorites\, snowflake master Dr. Thomas L. Clark delves into the biological significance of ancient symbolism in exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations.

His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176704@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130204T000010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130204T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:COLOR!

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176705@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121206T000015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130205T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:COLOR!

DESCRIPTION:This roundtable event\, offered by UMMA in collaboration with the Africa workshop series of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS)\, brings together an exciting collection of scholars for a lively discussion of the myths and misconceptions that abound regarding the category “African art.” Coinciding with the arrival at UMMA of a major retrospective exhibition of Nigerian artist El Anatsui\, this panel discussion will address how perceptions and misconceptions about art from Africa relate to the work and reception of contemporary African artists and their interaction with the global art world.

Yet in most cases these \"founding\" elections are only the beginning of an arduous political transition\, one that is by no means certain to lead to a consolidated democracy. In this talk\, Templeman considers a key aspect of this transition\, the development of a country's party system after a founding election brings new rulers to power. There is wide variation in the fates of these \"first incumbents\": some quickly come to dominate the new party system\, building large advantages over all electoral competitors and retaining power for decades\, while others rapidly lose support and are tossed out by voters in the next election. \n\nTempleman will discuss several factors that contribute to this variation in incumbent duration\, including the relative organizational capacity and brand appeal of the new ruling party\, its degree of influence over the bureaucracy and security forces and the new constitutional \"rules of the game\,\" and even the type of executive - presidential versus parliamentary - that is adopted. He will illustrate these factors in the context of Egypt\, where the long-time opposition Muslim Brotherhood has in the last year taken power by winning the first elections. The comparative evidence suggests that\, contrary to some alarmist views about the rise of Islamist parties in the Middle East\, the Muslim Brotherhood is not likely to dominate Egyptian politics for decades\, and that the prospects for the emergence of a stable\, multi-party system there are surprisingly good. \n\nKharis Templeman is a 2012-13 Research Fellow at the University of Michigan's Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies. He is a graduate of the University of Rochester (B.A. 2002) and the University of Michigan (Ph.D. 2012). His primary research interests include democratization\, party system development in newly-contested regimes\, and political institutions\, with a special focus on the states of East and Southeast Asia. His dissertation examined the origins and decline of dominant party systems around the world\, in which incumbent parties hold power for an extraordinary period of time by regularly winning contested elections. Other current research includes work on the effects of regime change on military spending and alliances\, and on constitutional design for divided societies.

His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176706@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121206T000015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130206T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:COLOR!

The analysis will show that the dangers in Stepanova's and Pussy Riot's work lie in their questioning of the traditional definitions of sexual difference\, culture\, and politics and their ability to simultaneously sustain the positions of woman-artist-citizen.\n\nIrina Aristarkhova is associate professor of art & design\, history of art\, and women's studies and faculty affiliate at the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Michigan.

Most of these studies\, however\, have focused on only one of graphene’s attributes at a time\, neglecting its unique combination of properties. In this talk\, we will look at these interdisciplinary boundaries\, examining cases when a mix of graphene’s properties- electrical\, thermal\, optical\, or mechanical - are simultaneously important. For example\, we will discuss experiments on graphene atomic membranes where electronic and optical signals can control the frequency\, amplitude\, and damping of a graphene drumhead resonance. We also present ultrafast measurements of photocurrent in graphene p-n junctions and explore the properties of a literal boundary that occurs in bilayer graphene. F inally\, we will look at how graphene is likely the ultimate in flexible electronics.\nBio: Paul McEuen is the Goldwin Smith Professor of Physics at Cornell University.

Decisions regarding gender assignment and genital surgery are often quickly made under pressure. Former patients and health care advocates complain that parents are provided inadequate information to make decisions\, many irreversible\, for their DSD-affected child.

As indicated in its preface\, the court’s intention in compiling\, printing and distributing this book was to educate the lay audience–who were mostly illiterate–in Confucian ethics. For this reason\, the court decided to provide each story with a visual illustration that included multiple scenes of the story depicting the hero or heroine in action and highlighted his or her outstanding ethical quality. If a reader should expect to understand a story with the aid of the illustration\, however\, it would confuse the reader\, for the order of scenes in the illustration mostly likely does not follow any anticipated flow of the story as described in the written text. This talk attempts a careful reading of the dynamics and intents behind these illustrations\, and presents a hypothesis that these illustrations were inserted to provoke and recall the “moral nature” of illiterate lay audience\, rather than to help them follow or understand the written texts by visually recounting them. This is different from previous hypotheses regarding Chinese narrative illustrations and illustrated fictions in late imperial period\, in which illustrations supposedly worked with written texts. Taking into consideration the context of reading in Choson and the Confucian moral philosophy\, this talk delineates a third text embedded in this book: the oral text. Since classical Chinese texts presented a dual impediment to the illiterate public of Choson–for being written and for being foreign–these illustrations could not work directly with the written text but only indirectly by inspiring them with accompanied oral texts told by the literate readers in the form of interpretation.\n\nYoung Kyun Oh\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Chinese and Sino-Korean\, Arizona State University UID:10232-1173713@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10232 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:colloquium series LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - Room 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130206T000011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130206T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Senior Recital: Lester Earl Johnson\, baritone DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Handel - \"Arm\, Arm Ye Brave\" from Judas Maccabaeus\; Adams - Prayer\; Hogan - Were You There\; Brodsky - I\&##39\;ll Walk With GodMozart - “Deh\, Vieni Alla Finestra” from Don Giovanni\, K. 527\; “Se vuol ballere” from The Marriage of Figaro\, K. 492\; Schubert - Pause from Die Schöne Müllerin\, D 795: 12\; Schumann - Widmung\, op. 25\, no. 1 UID:12256-1180698@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12256 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION:Earl V.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176707@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121116T145315 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130207T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130207T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) The Japanese Peace Preservation Law was established in 1925 to ostensibly preserve Japan’s national polity (kokutai) from so-called “dangerous thought.” Under this law\, communists and other radicals were defined as “thought-criminals” who had mistakenly come under the influence of foreign ideologies which alienated them from their inherent Japanese-ness. When this law was applied in the colonies however\, officials struggled to define the relationship between colonial subjects and Japan’s national essence. This talk will explore the difficulties in applying the law in colonial Korea during the 1930s and how these difficulties reveal the fundamental contradictions of Japan’s prewar colonial empire. \n\nAbout the Speaker:\nMax Ward is Assistant Professor of Japanese History at Middlebury College in Vermont.

Part of the LSA Theme Semester \"Understanding Race.\" Sponsor: CES.\n\nWith the collapse of the Third Reich\, the hyper-racialized German society that had been a core project of the Nazi dictatorship came to an end. In the rush to repudiate National Socialism\, postwar Germans rendered the idea of \"race\" and all associated racial thinking taboo -- at least in polite circles and the public sphere. This lecture considers the silence around race in German public discourse and historical writing after the Second World War. It focuses on the generation known in West Germany as \"1968ers\" in order to examine what kinds of racial difference were visible and invisible to these young people. It probes several ideological frameworks that shaped the West German New Left's ideas about race and racism. And it argues for the analytical importance of the concept of \"race\" for understanding contemporary German society.\n\nRita Chin is associate professor of history at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. She holds a BA from the University of Washington\, a PhD from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and previously taught at Oberlin College. She is the author of The Guest Worker Question in Postwar Germany (Cambridge\, UK\, 2007) and co-author of After the Nazi Racial State: Difference and Democracy in Germany and Beyond (Ann Arbor\, 2009). She has written a number of articles\, including \"Turkish Women\, West German Feminists\, and the Gendered Discourse on Muslim Cultural Difference\" for Public Culture. Her research has been funded by the Social Science Research Council\, German Academic Exchange\, National Humanities Center\, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars\, American Council for Learned Societies' Burkhardt Fellowship\, and Institute for Advanced Study. She is currently working on a book about the European Left's engagements with \"difference\,\" race\, and immigration in the postwar period.

It refers to an ability to enter a reversible state of low metabolic activity when faced with unfavorable environmental conditions\, including energy limitation. Dormant microorganisms generate a seed bank\, which comprises individuals that are capable of being resuscitated following environmental change. Thus\, microbial dormancy may help maintain biodiversity and influence the stability of ecosystem processes.\n\nAfter introducing a theoretical framework for microbial seed banks\, Dr Lennon will present results from a meta-analysis on the prevalence of dormancy in a variety of ecosystems\, including oceans\, lakes\, soils\, and the human gut. In addition\, he will discuss results demonstrating the importance of dormancy for the maintenance of microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning. Finally\, Dr Lennon will present ongoing research which focuses on the mechanisms of bacterial resuscitation\, and the implications of these processes under global climate change scenarios.

The exhibition presents work from throughout the artist’s life in diverse media that invite reflection on memory and history as well as the countless everyday objects we so readily use up and discard. Born in Ghana and residing in Nigeria\, where he is a professor at the University of Nigeria\, Nsukka\, El Anatsui’s work has engaged the local and the international with global impact. The power of his forms and their equally strong relationship to conceptual ideas connect them to traditions of African art\, yet his transformations of material and experience–whether somber or joyful–are dynamic and contemporary and have gained him an international reputation. El Anatsui will be interviewed by longtime colleague and University of Toronto Professor Elizabeth Harney. \n\nDr. Harney has written and published widely about global modernisms\, contemporary art practice in Africa and its diasporas\, post-colonial theory\, and the politics of exhibition. Harney also served as the first curator of contemporary art at the National Museum of African Art\, Smithsonian Institution.\n\nThis program is organized by UMMA with the UM Penny W.

Written in 1866\, Light Cavalry is one of the earlier Viennese operettas. Although the overture is world-famous\, the show itself is not. This production is the first in English\, and marks an American premiere. Considering its rarity\, the score of “Light Cavalry” has been found to be delightful\, with charming comedy numbers\, rollicking dances and beautiful arias. Hungarian themes stand out\, the first time such music was incorporated in a Viennese operetta.
