DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Please include date and title of program in the subject line of your email.\n\nJourney to 19th century Victorian Britain with exhibition curator Carole McNamara to explore the ways in which early photography captured the themes and interests of the period. While there was heated debate as to whether photography belonged in the sciences as a research aid or whether its pictorial qualities merited its inclusion in the arts\, this exhibition focuses on photographs that captured aspects of British society in ways that are poetic and artistic. Themes of the period are reflected in the photographers' interests\, including sentimentality about the remote past\, an interest in allegory and literature\, and social reform in a newly industrialized society. These photographs demonstrate advances in camera speeds and printing techniques which allowed photographers to capture the picturesque ruins\, people\, and cities of Victorian England.

The bold designs of the movie posters in the exhibition announced to the public the new revolutionary state in its formative first decade\, the 1920's. The movies themselves are still viewed and studied today for their inventive approach to filmmaking. Five of the films advertised by the posters will be screened in February. The final day of the series\, February 12\, 2016\, also features a panel discussion of the Constructivist movement with exhibition curator Lehti Keelmann and U-M faculty.\n\nSchedule of Films for February 6:\n4:30pm- October/Ten Days that Shook the World\, Sergei Eisenstein\, 1928 (103 minutes)\nOctober re-enacts the beginning of the October Revolution\, with its iconic moments such as the storming of the Winter Palace. It is directed by Soviet cinematic great\, Sergei Eisenstein (from Riga\, Latvia)\, who participated in the revolution\, producing propaganda. The film is dynamic and some of its elements such as the use of banners are visually translated into the accompanying poster. It is significant for its historical context in recounting (through the eyes of the Bolsheviks) the events of the revolution at an early point in the trajectory of the Soviet Union. Though prepared earlier\, the film was not released until 1928 due to Stalin's ban on images of Leonid Trotsky\, which required certain scenes to be edited out. \n\nFor Eisenstein\, camera angles and the minutea of detail were important. He cultivated a style involving a \"montage of attraction\,\" which brought together different theatrical techniques and types of scenes for a composite effect. He used actors and scripts and sought to build intensity from scene to scene. While foreign critics praised his inventive camera angles and montages\, they were skeptically received in the Soviet Union\, especially after Eisenstein's blockbuster success\, The Battleship Potemkin. \n\n6:30pm- Zvenigora\, Aleksandr Dovženko\, Georgi Astafyev\, and Vja?eslaw Ov?innikov\, 1927 (67 minutes)\n\nZvenigora combines the tradition of Ukrainian folk tales and poetry with revolutionary ideals and dynamic cinematic practices in early Soviet film. Directed by Ukrainian Alexander Dovženko\, the film centers on a hidden treasure in the Ukrainian region of Zvenigora and juxtaposes the past with the present. A grandfather tells the story of the hidden treasure to his two grandsons\, who react in different ways. The first\, Pavlo\, searches for the treasure\, becomes a con artist\, and eventually commits suicide. The second\, Tymishko\, becomes a soldier of the revolution (fighting for the Bolsheviks in the Ukrainian Civil War) and discovers that the true treasure of Zvenigora involves working the land to reveal the bounty of agriculture and industry.\n\nFor Dovženko\, the revolution was about understanding how to harness the land for progress. In this vein\, the landscape plays an important role in the film. While the film was criticized for being too nationalistic\, Dovženko believed that it highlighted the range of his creative abilities and espoused Eisenstein’s “montage of attractions.” The film mediates traditions and national history – the mythical – with a narrative of the New Order – the modern. Produced by VUFKU\, Zvenigora is part of a trilogy of silent films centered on Ukraine by Dovženko that also include Arsenal and Earth.\n\nSeries Schedule:\nAll programs take place in the Helmut Stern Auditorium.\n \nSaturday\, February 6:\n4:30 pm – October/Ten Days that Shook the World\, Sergei Eisenstein\, 1928 (103 minutes)\n6:30 pm – Zvenigora\, Aleksandr Dovženko\, Georgi Astafyev\, and Vja?eslav Ov?innikov\, 1927 (67 minutes)\n \nSunday\, February 7:\n4:30 pm- The Love Triangle/Bed and Sofa\, Abram Room\, 1927 (87 minutes)\n6:15 pm- The Eleventh\, Dziga Vertov\, 1928 (52 minutes)\n \nFriday\, February 12:\n4:30 pm – Branding the New Order: Soviet Constructivism\, a panel discussion with exhibition curator Lehti Keelmann and U-M faculty\n6:30 – The Man with the Movie Camera\, Dziga Vertov\, 1926 (68 minutes) UID:28755-2821387@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/28755 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Asia,Culture,Discussion,Film,International,Language,Multicultural,Museum,Politics,Social Impact,Theater,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Helmut Stern Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160127T173256 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160207T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160207T200000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Super Bowl Dinner DESCRIPTION:All your favorite fan food.

The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

Cutting Water with a Knife: Refugees and Europe’s Mediterranean Question. DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Albahari will outline the emergence of the Mediterranean Sea as the world’s deadliest international border\, focusing in particular on the central (Libya-Italy) and eastern (Turkey-Greece) migratory routes. By considering both the geopolitical context and the human dimension of the ongoing “crisis\,” Albahari will illustrate how the separation between Europe and the Mediterranean constitutes an unsustainable status quo that can be perpetuated only at an excruciating cost.

Employers must recognize\, as President Obama said in his final State of the Union address\, “that doing right by their workers or their customers or their communities ends up being good for their shareholders.” In his talk\, the US Labor Secretary Tom Perez will argue that the high road is the smart road\, and that building great companies requires valuing employees.

Not surprisingly\, these officials couch their interventions towards individuals - “don't drink soda” - instead of towards larger forces like NAFTA that contributed to making soda so cheap in a place where water can’t be trusted. But what if we also thought of soda as a substance transmitting love\, not only empty calories? What if we traced how sugar and dye bind people together as well as make them diabetic? \n\nWorking with environmental health epidemiologists\, I’m developing an approach that integrates data collected through biological and ethnographic methods to understand how larger histories and life circumstances shape bodily conditions. What kinds of questions can we ask\, and begin to answer\, if blood sugar levels\, NAFTA\, water politics\, calories\, and love are all understood as real\, constructed\, and contingent as we try to do a better job of understanding health?

We have brought together a panel of female investors to both share what they look for in their investments\, as well as their own career paths towards becoming investors. Our panelists include:\nJan Garfinkle\, Founder and Managing Director of Arboretum Ventures: Jan targets promising medical device and diagnostic technologies that enable meaningful healthcare system savings. Her expertise in medical technology stems from leadership roles she held at two important cardiovascular start-ups that spurred the market for catheter-based interventions. While at Arboretum\, Jan has led investments and held board seats in more than a dozen portfolio companies. In addition to several other exits\, Jan led Arboretum’s investment in HandyLab and served on the Board of Directors for five years until the company was acquired by BD in 2009 for $275 million. She also led the Series A investment into Esperion Therapeutics which subsequently went public and has a market cap over $2 billion on the NASDAQ.\nLee Gorman\, Angel Investor: After 25 years in the automotive industry\, Lee founded Barton Consulting Services\, LLC\, where she works primarily with not-for-profit organizations and start-ups. She advised the CEO and acted as interim Director of the Automotive Business for Coherix\, Inc.\, then served as Chief Operating Officer for WriteSteps. Work with Entrepreneur Support Organizations has included coaching for start-ups through Ann Arbor SPARK\, New Enterprise Forum (NEF)\, Great Lakes Entrepreneurs Quest (GLEQ)\, and Techtown\; and mentoring students through the Center for Entrepreneurship and the Erb Institute at the University of Michigan. She has also served as a judge for Business Plan Competitions with TIE and the Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition (AMIC). She was honored with the GLEQ 2011 Coach of the Year Award.\nAngela Barbash\, Founder of ReConsider: Angela studied Cultural Anthropology and History at Eastern Michigan University\, developing an appreciation for entrepreneurship while working at the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center before entering the financial services industry. Angela went on to become a licensed Financial Advisor in 2004\, serving in the field as a branch manager and in the home office of a large firm before settling at a local independent firm in Metro Detroit.\nFollowing the 2008 market correction she began to notice client and market trends that were pointing to a significant shift in the industry toward local investing\, social entrepreneurship\, and putting meaning back into money making. With this she saw a market opportunity and need to develop the Michigan ecosystem\, launching Reconsider in April 2012 to do just that. Angela now primarily serves as a Principal and Investment Advisor at Reconsider’s sister company Revalue\, a registered investment advisory firm.

World War II is a watershed event for Latino Americans with hundreds of thousands of men and women serving in the armed forces\, most fighting side by side with Anglos. But on the home front\, discrimination is not dead: in 1943\, Anglo servicemen battle hip young \"Zoot suitors\" in racially charged riots in southern California.\n\nAfter the war\, Macario Garcia becomes the first Mexican National to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor for his exploits fighting in Europe\, only to be refused service in a Texas diner. The experience during the war pushes Latinos to fight for civil rights back home. A doctor from South Texas\, Hector Garcia\, organizes the American GI Forum\, transforming himself into a tireless advocate for civil rights and the friend of a future president. Although Latinos make significant gains\, the journey for equality is far from over.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

As an example\, in 2005\, within days of rising floodwaters and power failure\, New Orleans’ Memorial Medical Center transformed from a well regarded community hospital into a hot\, dark shelter so chaotic and desperate that some doctors intentionally hastened the deaths of patients they thought might not survive. JoinFive Days at Memorial author and Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Sheri Fink\, a University of Michigan alumna\, as she shows how preparing for a potential crisis will help to smooth operations for the smallest of emergencies.\n\nAbout the Keynote Speaker:\n\nSheri Fink is the author of the New York Times bestselling book\, Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital (Crown\, 2013)\, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction\, the Ridenhour Book Prize\, the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize\, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize\, the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance Book Award\, the American Medical Writers Association Medical Book Award\, and the Overseas Press Club Lowell Thomas Award\, among other journalism prizes.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

By drawing on ethnographic observations of the nuns’ daily improvisational building practices in Yachen\, she shows how the nuns confront strict governmental spatial restrictions by restructuring the concepts of dwelling and building. I see the nuns’ improvisation in building their huts and tents as reflecting a lifetime of preparedness that is deeply rooted in the gender hierarchies of both Tibetan society and the Tibetan monastic system.\n\nYasmin Cho is a postdoctoral fellow in the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. She received a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Duke University in 2015. Her interests lie primarily in the anthropological understanding of religion with an emphasis on the relationship between materiality and gender in Buddhism. She is currently revising her book manuscript that addresses the mobilities and material engagements of Tibetan Buddhist nuns in post-Mao Buddhist revivalism.

Yet\, as Stephen A. Berrey shows\, it was also a high-stakes drama that played out in the routines of everyday life\, where blacks and whites regularly interacted on sidewalks and buses and in businesses and homes. Every day\, individuals made\, unmade\, and remade Jim Crow in how they played their racial roles—how they moved\, talked\, even gestured. The highly visible but often subtle nature of these interactions constituted the Jim Crow routine.\n\nIn this study of Mississippi race relations in the final decades of the Jim Crow era\, Berrey argues that daily interactions between blacks and whites are central to understanding segregation and the racial system that followed it. Berrey shows how civil rights activism\, African Americans' refusal to follow the Jim Crow script\, and national perceptions of southern race relations led Mississippi segregationists to change tactics. No longer able to rely on the earlier routines\, whites turned instead to less visible but equally insidious practices of violence\, surveillance\, and policing\, rooted in a racially coded language of law and order. Reflecting broader national transformations\, these practices laid the groundwork for a new era marked by black criminalization\, mass incarceration\, and a growing police presence in everyday life.\nAbout the Author\n\nStephen A. Berrey is assistant professor of American culture and history at the University of Michigan. His research explores the relationship between racial practices and everyday culture in the twentieth-century U.S.\n\nAngela D. Dillard is the Earl Lewis Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies and in the Residential College. She specializes in American and African-American intellectual history\, particularly around issues of race\, religion and politics—on both the Left and the Right sides of the political spectrum.\n\nThe Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, University Library\, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.\n\nAdditional support for this event provided by the departments of Afroamerican and African History\, American Culture\, History\, and the Residential College.\n\nToday's book signing and sale courtesy of Barnes & Noble in the Michigan Union.

He founded his studio with Mélanie Drevet\, engaging landscape through a wide scope of design projects\, from large-scale urban design to smaller scale private gardens. At the same time\, he explores curation\, temporary installation\, and exhibition as a mode of landscape design. \n\nHis research and practice situates landscape at the forefront of design and art. In the European context\, while gardens are ubiquitous\, they rarely confront contemporaneity as an experimental mode of aesthetic and public engagement. Few creative gardens receive media attention\, even when they accompany hightly publicized architectural works. As a consequence\, Christophe Ponceau seeks to modify the perception of gardens in the collective imagination and to associate them plainly with contemporary design. Since 2012\, as a curator and creative director working at the intersection of landscape\, photography\, graphic design\, and installation\, he has produced a series of important projects that experiment with the full potential of landscape as a scenographic design practice. \n\nHe recently completed the garden of the new FRAC Centre (Fonds régional d’Arts contemporains) in Orléans. He is the curator of the current edition of the quinquennale Lausanne Jardins. He is developing projects allying short-lived architecture\, photography\, and landscape in Detroit\, in association with the agency Akoaki and the University of Michigan.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession.

On Black Friday 2012\, two cars parked next to each other at a Florida gas station. A white middle-aged male and a black teenager exchanged angry words over the volume of the music in the boy’s car. A gun entered the exchange\, and one of them was left dead. Michael Dunn fired 10 bullets at a car full of unarmed teenagers and then fled. Three of those bullets hit 17-year-old Jordan Davis\, who died at the scene. Arrested the next day\, Dunn claimed he shot in self-defense. Thus began the long journey of unraveling the truth. 3 ½ Minutes\, Ten Bullets follows that journey\, reconstructing the night of the murder and revealing how hidden racial prejudice can result in tragedy.\n\n3 ½ Minutes\, Ten Bullets illustrates the harrows of the current racial climate within America and why Black Lives Matter.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity.

Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

I exploit the massive escalation of homicide rates in Colombia in the 1980s in which homicides increased by a factor of 10 in urban areas while it barely changed in others. Results show a significant relationship between early-life exposure to violence and lower educational outcomes. A higher homicide rate early in pregnancy and in the first 6 years of life is associated with lower educational attainment (years of schooling\, school drop-out) and with lower end of high school achievement test scores at ages 17 to 24. I also find evidence of heterogenous impacts. Individuals in families in the middle of the education or income distributions seem to experience greater declines than those in the poorest or wealthiest households.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

In the United States\, many foreign language programs are disappearing or in decline. Meanwhile\, developments in technology and the creation of new media challenge our preconceived notions about how foreign languages should be taught and where and when learning occurs. These challenges motivate us to re-think our approaches and make new connections between ideas\, cultures and emerging technologies. Hybrid language courses\, also referred to as blended or computer enhanced language courses\, are at the center of a very lively debate in today's academic world. Although the use of technology at the college level aimed at enhancing foreign language teaching and learning has been in practice for a some time now\, the idea of substituting entire class periods with time spent working on a computer module is still a source of controversy. An internal assessment project that began in 2005 in the Romance Languages and Literatures Department at the University of Notre Dame informed the articulation of learning goals that transformed the Italian academic program from the beginning to the advanced levels and led to the design and implementation of effective hybrid courses.

Of Secrecy and Laughter: Aesthetics\, Governance\, and the Covert Sphere in Soviet Lithuania (1964-85) DESCRIPTION:In 1956 the Central Committee of the Lithuanian Communist Party resurrected The Broom\, the Soviet Lithuanian humor and satire journal. Like other Soviet humor journals it was to be a platform of building communism and fighting its enemies. But soon it became a cradle of a new covert national culture defined by modernist aesthetics and political opposition. The talk will explore how this covert sphere emerged through secrecy and laughter among artists\, censors\, and readers. Klumbyte will argue that through covert laughter at the Soviet state and socialist everyday life\, the participants created ironic forms of Soviet citizenship grounded in utopias of anti-Soviet sovereignty.\n\nNeringa Klumbyte is associate professor of anthropology at Miami University\, Ohio. A political and economic anthropologist working in Lithuania\, the European Union\, and Eurasia more broadly\, her interests include everyday life in post-socialist and post-colonialist countries\, states and nationalism\, elections\, the anthropology of food\, marketing and consumption\, ethnographic writing and representations. Her articles have appeared in American Anthropologist\, American Ethnologist\, Slavic Review\, East European Politics and Societies\, and other journals. She co-edited Soviet Society in the Era of Late Socialism\, 1964-85 (with Gulnaz Sharafutdinova\, 2012). In 2015\, she received the Miami University College of Arts and Science Distinguished Educator Award.

The dominant argument in the literature on this question is due to Broome\; we call this the `Incoherence Argument'. The majority of the existing literature accepts something like the Incoherence Argument for a negative answer\, or at least for the more limited claim that if the person in question does not in fact exist then her nonexistence cannot be better (or worse) for her than any state of aff airs in which she does exist. We argue that this consensus is based on naivete about semantics: on an implicit presupposition that a sentence's deep semantic structure must closely mirror its surface grammatical structure. This presupposition is well-known to be false in general\, and there is (further) no clear reason to think it must be true in the present case. Once it is dropped\, there is no general obstacle to claiming that existence can be better/worse than nonexistence (and vice versa). In particular\, we suggest one coherent semantic framework (what we will call the `Lives Framework') that\, if correct\, would make room for the full range of existence/nonexistence comparisons.

It is well known that the so-called “Big Three” at the conference made the settlement on the postwar order in Europe and East Asia. Less known is how the three got there in a series of wartime meetings and the road they had taken to do that later caused many Cold War conflicts\, including the division of the Korean Peninsula.\n\nKyung Deok Roh\, educated in Seoul National University and University of Chicago\, is currently Assistant Professor of History at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology(GIST). His main academic interest resides in Stalinism\, the comparative politics of communist states and the history of the Cold War. He has written numerous articles and reviews in those fields and is also the author of Stalin’s Economic Advisors: The Varga Institute and the Making of Soviet Foreign Policy\, 1927-1953 (London: I.B.Tauris\, forthcoming).\n\nCosponsored by the Department of History.

As a consequence\, the typical media consumer is far more exposed to political failure than success. Some blame a negative media for declining political interest and engagement\, but there is another possibility: negative information is central to citizen attentiveness\, and to the effective functioning of representative democracy. Humans are more activated and attentive to negative information\, and the institutions we have designed reflect\, and capitalize\, on this tendency. But have mass media gone too far? Just how much negativity do we need? And does the changing media environment serve to augment or diminish the negative information that dominates our political lives? Drawing on a combination of psycho-physiological experiments and large-scale analyses of media content\, this lecture focuses on the connection between the political information we want\, and the political information we get.

Psychoanalysis in its early years was plagued by two arguably linked anxieties: first\, that the new science would not be accepted as scientific at all\, and\, second\, that it would be perceived as overwhelmingly “Jewish” by virtue of the origins of most of the core group of psychoanalytic theorists. This talk explores the connections between these two clusters of concerns. What is at stake in the branding of the new science of the self as something other than science\, as “literature”? Contemporary dismissals of the scientific validity of psychoanalytic theory and practice seem at odds with humanistic assessments of the extraordinary range of influence Freudianism has had on all aspects of contemporary culture and understanding. This cleft runs deep\, and has a surprising history. That history springs from a nineteenth-century culture clash between a previously dominant\, historicist and traditionalist humanism and a new guard of philosophical-scientific objectivists. The clash of what C. P. Snow\, during the Cold War\, called “two cultures” was played out within psychoanalysis itself during its emergence. Reverberations of this clash run from Freud’s shocking suggestion of Leonardo da Vinci’s homosexuality through to Alfred Hitchcock’s postwar psycho-thriller Spellbound. Might we still take seriously the ambition of psychoanalysis to reorganize our epistemological categories completely? And how could a project as revolutionary and universal as that be linked to turn-of-the-century German-Jewish subjectivity?\n\nScott Spector (PhD\, the Johns Hopkins University\, 1994) is Professor with appointments at the University of Michigan in the Department of History\, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures\, and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, and he is currently Head Fellow of the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Right-wing media and intellectuals have begun to use the term “history wars” to refer to this development. Based on extensive fieldwork with right-wing individuals and organizations\, this lecture reviews this ongoing controversy\, and discusses how this issue functions as an important rallying point to tie together disparate right-wing elements and the Abe government. This lecture will also address the recent diplomatic agreement between South Korea and Japan\, and subsequent reactions.\n\nTomomi Yamaguchi is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Montana State University – Bozeman (Ph.D.\, University of Michigan). She is a cultural anthropologist and studies social movements in Japan\, especially regarding feminist and right-wing movements.

Flint residents have been poisoned by lead from the city’s water supply\, with permanent and devastating consequences for thousands of children. \n\nThe policies and decisions that led to this crisis were the result of Democrats and Republicans working together to defend the interests of the financial elite. The same players who poisoned the drinking water in Flint were also involved in the bankruptcy of Detroit\, with the same cold indifference about the consequences of their decisions. The University of Michigan law school had originally planned to celebrate four of those responsible: Republican Governor Rick Snyder and Democrat and Obama supporter Kevyn Orr were among those directly involved in the water crisis in Flint. Federal Judge Gerald Rosen played a major role in gutting the pensions and health care benefits of Detroit retirees. Federal Bankruptcy Court Judge Steven Rhodes\, who presided over the bankruptcy hearing\, notoriously stated regarding the water shutoffs in Detroit\, that there is “not…a fundamental enforceable right to free or affordable water. Just as there is no such affordable right to other necessities of life such as shelter\, food and medical care.” \n\nIn Flint and Detroit\, workers confront the consequences of policies that have laid waste to the social infrastructure. Decades of de-industrialization and massive cuts to social programs have boosted corporate profits and the wealth of the financial elite\, while trillions of dollars have been wasted in wars. Hillary Clinton and other Democratic Party officials are saying the crisis in Flint is a racial issue. Socialists reject this. It is not a question of black or white\, suburbs vs. the city. It is a class question. \n\nThe Socialist Equality Party and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality at the University of Michigan urge all students and workers to attend this meeting\, which will review the political background to the crisis in Flint and Detroit and discuss the necessary response.

DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells.

Broadly divided into three political periods (Asuka\, Nara\, and Heian)\, kodai is often defined through a series of historical watersheds aligned with the rise and fall of imperial power. Interrogating that perspective\, the workshop aims to depart from the model of critical historical events as ruptures. Instead\, it focuses on the processes and continuities of cultural development during the longue durée of early Japan. Thus\, “kodai” is defined in its broadest sense—ranging from the sixth to the twelfth centuries—and participants are invited to engage with the artistic and religious developments of kodai as embedded in ritualistic\, religious\, literary\, visual\, and material cultures. In addition\, the workshop will critically examine the historiography of scholarship on kodai\, and interrogate how frameworks and binaries that are frequently employed in the study of this period gradually acquired scholarly purchase over time. By rethinking kodai as both a historiographic category and a framework of analysis\, the workshop aims to generate a compelling set of questions that can reinvigorate the study of early Japan.\n\nEvent Schedule:\nReception (open to all\, no preregistration required)\n2/11/2016 (Thursday) 5:30 PM\nVenue: Multiple Purpose Room\, University Museum of Art\, 525 South State Street\, Ann Arbor\n\nWorkshop (open to all\, preregistration required: http://goo.gl/forms/mGJndNmXmk)\n2/12/2016 (Friday)\nVenue: Michigan League (Henderson)\, 911 North University Avenue\, Ann Arbor\n\n8:30 – 9:00 am\nContinental breakfast\n\nMORNING SESSION\n9:00 – 9:30 am\nKevin Carr (UM): Welcome and Introductory Remarks\n\nn.b.: We will not necessarily be following a strict schedule during the workshop.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

In the production domain\, this often results in a persistent accent\, even when speakers are highly proficient in other aspects of the language. This study investigates the efficacy of a training paradigm that teaches the vocal tract configurations and articulatory targets for novel target sounds to new learners\, with explicit reference to place\, manner\, and voicing features. Native English speakers learning Hindi coronal stop consonants (including a four-way voicing contrast\, and a dental/retroflex place of articulation contrast) received visual cues and detailed descriptions of articulation targets\, in addition to perceptual training. Participants' production of both place and voicing targets showed a significant improvement after production training (but not perception training) compared to baseline performance. However\, only some voicing cues were maintained above baseline levels once cues were no longer present. These results suggest that this methodology has some promise\, but limited retention and individual variation in performance indicate that some adjustment to the training may be warranted. I will discuss these issues\, and some considerations for how they relate to both applied methods for language learning\, and theoretical models of fledgling category representations.

At the center of the digital humanities should be an emphasis on individual and collective agency. Reading\, writing\, and publishing in the digital must and always already do take place in public\, collaborative spaces. This is the great project of the social Internet and an imperative for the digital humanities: to make space for thoughts and idea —even our most scholarly and esoteric—to be made relevant. The work of digital humanities scholarship\, then\, should be less focused on publishing articles as content repositories and more on reimagining scholarship as pedagogical\, publishing as a way to create conversations and bridge academic and non-academic communities. We must walk always along the precipice of radical inclusion — not so that we may include others in the conversations we’re having\, but so that we may have the chance to be included in their conversations.\n\nJesse Stommel is Executive Director of the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies at University of Mary Washington.

As an offspring of the pragmatic turn among French-speaking linguists\, the enunciative approach is mobilized to analyze the cover page of a cartoon on the anti-globalization legend Jose Bove. Focusing on the complex interpretive problems of political discourse\, the enunciative-pragmatic approach shows how readers construct subject positions following the text’s complex indexicality. It reveals the polyphonic play of voices orchestrated by the enunciative markers. Therefore\, enunciative pragmatics promises to bridge the gulf that separates text-based and process-oriented approaches to language in use as well as between micro- and macrosociological levels of analysis.

Observed changes in CDW properties in the Ross/Amundsen/Bellingshausen Seas\, from 1992 to 2011\, suggest increased ventilation by the northern Deep Waters\, which increases heat content in the upper ocean and freshens the abyssal layer. The increased ocean temperatures along the WAP affect sea ice extent and ice shelf mass loss.  The observed heat and sea ice changes are consistent with a strengthening of the southern ACC circulation and adjoining subpolar gyres.

The bold designs of the movie posters in the exhibition announced to the public the new revolutionary state in its formative first decade\, the 1920's. The movies themselves are still viewed and studied today for their inventive approach to filmmaking. Five of the films advertised by the posters will be screened in February. The final day of the series\, February 12\, 2016\, also features a panel discussion of the Constructivist movement with exhibition curator Lehti Keelmann and U-M faculty.\n\nSchedule of Films for February 6:\n4:30pm- October/Ten Days that Shook the World\, Sergei Eisenstein\, 1928 (103 minutes)\nOctober re-enacts the beginning of the October Revolution\, with its iconic moments such as the storming of the Winter Palace. It is directed by Soviet cinematic great\, Sergei Eisenstein (from Riga\, Latvia)\, who participated in the revolution\, producing propaganda. The film is dynamic and some of its elements such as the use of banners are visually translated into the accompanying poster. It is significant for its historical context in recounting (through the eyes of the Bolsheviks) the events of the revolution at an early point in the trajectory of the Soviet Union. Though prepared earlier\, the film was not released until 1928 due to Stalin's ban on images of Leonid Trotsky\, which required certain scenes to be edited out. \n\nFor Eisenstein\, camera angles and the minutea of detail were important. He cultivated a style involving a \"montage of attraction\,\" which brought together different theatrical techniques and types of scenes for a composite effect. He used actors and scripts and sought to build intensity from scene to scene. While foreign critics praised his inventive camera angles and montages\, they were skeptically received in the Soviet Union\, especially after Eisenstein's blockbuster success\, The Battleship Potemkin. \n\n6:30pm- Zvenigora\, Aleksandr Dovženko\, Georgi Astafyev\, and Vja?eslaw Ov?innikov\, 1927 (67 minutes)\n\nZvenigora combines the tradition of Ukrainian folk tales and poetry with revolutionary ideals and dynamic cinematic practices in early Soviet film. Directed by Ukrainian Alexander Dovženko\, the film centers on a hidden treasure in the Ukrainian region of Zvenigora and juxtaposes the past with the present. A grandfather tells the story of the hidden treasure to his two grandsons\, who react in different ways. The first\, Pavlo\, searches for the treasure\, becomes a con artist\, and eventually commits suicide. The second\, Tymishko\, becomes a soldier of the revolution (fighting for the Bolsheviks in the Ukrainian Civil War) and discovers that the true treasure of Zvenigora involves working the land to reveal the bounty of agriculture and industry.\n\nFor Dovženko\, the revolution was about understanding how to harness the land for progress. In this vein\, the landscape plays an important role in the film. While the film was criticized for being too nationalistic\, Dovženko believed that it highlighted the range of his creative abilities and espoused Eisenstein’s “montage of attractions.” The film mediates traditions and national history – the mythical – with a narrative of the New Order – the modern. Produced by VUFKU\, Zvenigora is part of a trilogy of silent films centered on Ukraine by Dovženko that also include Arsenal and Earth.\n\nSeries Schedule:\nAll programs take place in the Helmut Stern Auditorium.\n \nSaturday\, February 6:\n4:30 pm – October/Ten Days that Shook the World\, Sergei Eisenstein\, 1928 (103 minutes)\n6:30 pm – Zvenigora\, Aleksandr Dovženko\, Georgi Astafyev\, and Vja?eslav Ov?innikov\, 1927 (67 minutes)\n \nSunday\, February 7:\n4:30 pm- The Love Triangle/Bed and Sofa\, Abram Room\, 1927 (87 minutes)\n6:15 pm- The Eleventh\, Dziga Vertov\, 1928 (52 minutes)\n \nFriday\, February 12:\n4:30 pm – Branding the New Order: Soviet Constructivism\, a panel discussion with exhibition curator Lehti Keelmann and U-M faculty\n6:30 – The Man with the Movie Camera\, Dziga Vertov\, 1926 (68 minutes) UID:28755-2821388@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/28755 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Asia,Culture,Discussion,Film,International,Language,Multicultural,Museum,Politics,Social Impact,Theater,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Helmut Stern Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160203T151931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160212T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160212T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fridays After Five DESCRIPTION:Stop in to UMMA to enjoy special exhibitions\, music\, and engaging activities at Fridays After 5!

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness.

Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

By following in the mayor’s footsteps for two years\, director Zhou Hao presents a portrait of an individual who appears to want to serve his community with the best of intentions. But moving a half million of the city's population is bound to create resistance\, especially when there are already issues with the newly constructed housing projects.\n\nDuring Winter Term 2016\, the U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies will present a series of cutting edge contemporary independent films from China.\n\nPlease note that access to Angell Hall and Auditorium A on Saturday evenings is only through the entrance on the east side of the building--called the Fishbowl--which faces the diag and the Hatcher Graduate Library. Usually only one door to the far left is unlocked.
