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.

From intimate portraits of wildflowers to the grand expanse of the night sky\, it is a rich palette to work with\, and deJonge captures it with elegance and intention.

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.

Now located in Traverse City\, Michigan\, Palmer creates fish sculptures using crutches and paddles for bases. He then makes fins\, teeth\, tails\, and eyes from unique items and fills in the form with found objects. Before retirement\, he was a teacher and school administrator\, and he holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership.

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.

Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. 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.

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.

Women\, Class\, Performance: Helena Modjeska as Understudy and Impresario DESCRIPTION:Helena Modrzejewska (1840-1909)\, the great Polish actress who emigrated to the U.S. mid-career to conquer the American stage as Helena Modjeska\, ingeniously wielded her talent as a performer to achieve rapid social mobility and sociocultural power. Not coincidentally\, Modrzejewska’s chief mentors in this achievement were strategically placed aristocratic women in Poland and “respectable” American women writers\, intellectuals\, and artists who were instrumental in brokering new norms for high culture and professional activism. Modjeska had the good fortune to attain stardom in two national contexts where upper-class cosmopolitan women\, the dictators of social taste\, began to embrace serious actresses as desirable equals and the most effective public messengers for the arts.\n\nThis talk explores Modrzejewska/Modjeska’s development from sociocultural understudy to impresario on two continents\, highlighting key interactions with her mentors. Born illegitimate in a lower middle-class Kraków family and the unwed mother of two children\, Modrzejewska the actress first had to successfully emulate and win the approval of Kraków’s aristocracy and then qualify as a mover and shaker in the more hybridized upper-class society of Warsaw\, where she kept her own salon and reigned on the stage of the Teatr Wielki\, implementing new repertoire. Her progress in these cities was paved by the interventions of\, respectively\, Countess Arturowa Potocka and Countess Maria Kalergis-Muchanowa. In America\, Modjeska easily established her respectability before a public ignorant of her past\, yet she had to prove her talent as an English-speaking actress of serious drama and\, in the process\, connect with a nationwide network of women writers\, critics\, intellectuals\, and artists (ranging from Annie Adam Fields to Willa Cather) to cultivate sociocultural influence. In Poland and the United States\, Helena Modjeska depended on an elite\, often eccentric sisterhood to vouch for her class and empower her public persona.\n\nBeth Holmgren is professor of Russian and Polish cultures in Duke University’s Slavic and Eurasian Studies Department. Recent books include Starring Madame Modjeska: On Tour in Poland and America (Indiana\, 2012)\, which won four national awards\, and Americans Experience Russia: Encountering the Enigma\, 1917 to the Present\, edited with Choi Chatterjee (Routledge\, 2013). She is currently working on two books\, one a co-edited volume with Yana Hashamova and Mark Lipovetsky\, Transgressive Women in Modern Russian and East European Cultures: From the Bad to the Blasphemous\, the other a monograph\, How the Cabaret Went to War\, about the experience and influence of acculturated Jewish cabaret artists attached to the Polish II Corps during World War II.

While this pattern has been known for decades\, the origins of this pattern are still actively debated. Integrating phytogeographic and genomic data with physical oceanographic modeling and ecology\, we demonstrate pluralistic drivers of marine diversification in this region ranging from eustatic sea level changes to ecological divergence. We have used this research as a platform both for building capacity in one of the worlds most imperiled and least studied marine ecosystems as well as increasing diversity in marine sciences. Through the integration of education and research\, we are creating future biodiversity leaders in Indonesia and diversifying marine science in the United States.

By considering a slave-holding Connecticut family that spawned two centuries of doctors\, and by focusing on Fortune\, the man they claimed as property in life and in death\, Professor Foreman examines the mortuary politics and anatomical entrepreneurialism at work when human remains are used as artifacts that serve to amass multi-generational professional standing. This talk asks how chattel remains\, blanched of the violence of their genesis\, inform the legacy of slavery and its afterlives.\n\nP. Gabrielle Foreman\, a poet’s daughter turned literary historian\, is presently at work on a book entitled \"The Art of DisMemory: Historicizing Slavery in Poetry\, Performance and Material Culture\" and an edited collection of artistic responses to David Drake\, the enslaved South Carolina potter and poet\, by painter Jonathan Green and poet Glenis Redmond.

The novel invites us to think this transformation as interregnum\, or as a hiatus that ensues following the demise of the sovereign. But what exactly is it that has died as far as Bolaño is concerned? I propose that it is not just the national state and its role in containing and regulating the contradictions generated by capitalism but also literature itself\, or at least a certain understanding of literature that has fallen. And what then would be left of literature\, if literature has not simply gone away? One possible answer can be found in the relation that the novel takes up with the question of evil.\n\nSponsored by the Department of Romance Langauges and Literatures\, the Institute for the Humanities\, the International Institute\, and Rackham Graduate School UID:28119-2663975@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/28119 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lecture LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons, 4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160216T171558 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160218T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160218T190000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Maps of the Middle East: From Ancient to Modern DESCRIPTION:Join us for Third Thursday in the Clark Library where we'll have maps of the Middle East on display.

Though premised on essentialist notions of “woman\,” the lesbian feminist movement was an important corrective to the displacement lesbians suffered in the feminist movement\, (where they’d been dubbed the “lavender menace”) and in the gay liberation movement (which was overwhelming male). Lesbian feminists created a unique culture that flourished throughout the 1970s and well into the ‘80s and\, for many young lesbians\, served as a crucial base for their development.\n\nRamp and elevator access at the E.

In question\, from an empiricist standpoint\, is the ontological and epistemological status of abstraction and geometric figuration in perception\, and the possibility\, as Alain Cernuschi (2000) has pointed out\, of envisioning a correlation between the object of perception (the object of physico-mathematical observation) and the object of reflection in which sonorous musical events are constituted. Though the question of the perception of rapports in the sensory domain\, and the impact of such perceptions on aesthetic and musical experience is a lingering one in Diderot’s writings\, d’Alembert’s verdict\, hidden in the 1752 edition of his Elémens de musique but emerging to the forefront in the preamble to Volume VI of the Encyclopédie in 1756\, appears definitive and without appeal. In this paper\, Moshavar returns to the public face of d’Alembert’s refutation that brings Rameau’s principle of the fundamental bass to a checkmate from the standpoint not just of its physics\, but also of its practice and aesthetics\, and consider the conception of music theory that is left behind\, from the “point of view\,” in d’Alembert’s words\, “under which science envisions its object.” UID:27390-2392318@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/27390 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Earl V.

Schulze grew up in Dresden and studied classical philology at the University of Jena. He worked as a Dramaturg for the theater in Altenburg and as a journalist for the short-lived Altenburger Wochenblatt (1990-91) that he co-founded. Both 'Neue Leben' and his subsequent novel 'Adam und Evelyn' were finalists for the German Book Prize in 2006 and 2008\, respectively. The recipient of a fellowship at the Villa Massimo in Rome\, Schulze published a collection of stories entitled 'Orangen und Engel: Italienische Skizzen'\, which appeared in 2010. He has taught at the University of Lüneburg (as a Heinrich-Heine-Gastdozent)\, written a prize-winning radio feature (Das Deutschlandgerät) and won numerous literary awards\, including the Peter-Weiss Prize\, the Thüringer Literaturpreis\, the Bertolt-Brecht Prize.\nDescribed by the New York Times as a “mordant comedy\,” Ingo Schulze’s 2005 novel 'Neue Leben' presents the story of Enrico Türmer\, a young man who becomes caught up in the transition from East German socialism to capitalism in a unified Germany after 1989. Türmer\, a failed writer in the GDR\, becomes an entrepreneur in the new Germany. Presented as a series of letters written by Türmer to his lover\, his brother\, and his sister (and annotated with footnotes by one Ingo Schulze)\, the novel is both a historical document and an experiment in epistolary form. As one reviewer poignantly put it\, the novel tells the story of how the East and the West became lost to one another after 1989.\nThe reading will be in German\, with copies available in English. Discussion will be in English.

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.

Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

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.

Drawing from ten years of fieldwork in a Northern Thai community I show how people perform rituals\, interpret experience\, and socially reinforce practices that are oriented around a Theravada Buddhist emphasis on change. A focus on the inevitable flow of time\, and the importance of realizing the fact of change\, are thought in the community to centrally connect to the concept of anicca\, or ‘impermanence’\, one of the Three Characteristics in Buddhism thought. Mindfulness (sati)\, karma (kam)\, spirit possession and more are interpreted through these logics of impermanence\, and are understood to influence what it means to be well. The more one is able to recognize the inevitability of change\, people tell me\, the more one crafts subjectivities that aspire to non-attachment\, calmness\, and the letting go of robust emotion. Working with\, and manipulating\, these cultural logics allow people to gain personal control and agency in their lives. The talk will focus especially on the mental health of one man in the community\, as he and his family struggle with his problems of addiction to alcohol\; I trace the development of the issue and the ways that people make sense of it\, from a local healer detaching the spirits of alcohol from the man’s body at the hospital to the proactive making of merit that connects giving to letting go. Based on my new book\, Living Buddhism: Mind\, Self and Emotion in a Thai Community (Cornell University Press\, 2015) the talk informs the study of culturally-informed subjective experience as part of the psychology of everyday life in today’s Thailand.

However\, previous research has also identified the importance of social factors as an explanation for why second language learners’ pronunciation often seems to fossilize. Dr. John Levis argues that attention to social factors is essential to more effective pronunciation teaching. After a review of research on how a variety of social factors appear to impact the ultimate success of pronunciation learning\, especially looking at factors like identity\, passing behaviors\, L1 and L2 speaker attitudes\, listener expectations\, and institutional discrimination\, Dr. Levis presents his own research about L2 learners’ feelings about the constraints of social factors on their own pronunciation. Finally\, he suggests several adjustments to language teaching that integrate social factors into L2 pronunciation pedagogy.\n\nBio\nJohn Levis is Professor of Applied Linguistics and TESL at Iowa State University. His articles on pronunciation and intonation have been published in a wide variety of professional journals. He is co-editor of the Phonetics and Phonology section of the Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics\, for Social Dynamics in Second Language Accent\, and for the Handbook of English Pronunciation. Dr. Levis also initiated the annual Pronunciation in Second Language Learning and Teaching Conference and is founding editor of the new Journal of Second Language Pronunciation.

This study explores an ongoing sound change in Andalusian Spanish whereby /ɾn/ and /ɾl/ sequences undergo gemination (i.e.\, [n:] and [l:]\, respectively)\, due to phonetic assimilation of clusters involving coronal sonorants. This change now creates a lexical contrast between non-geminate [n]/[l] and geminate [n:]/[l:] in pairs orthographically represented as pela ‘s/he peals’ - perla ‘pearl’\, cala ‘cove’ - Carla ‘Carla’\, and tono ‘tone’ - torno ‘window’\, among many others. In this project we consider two acoustic parameters of this contrast: consonant duration and formant frequency (F1\, F2 & F3). \n\nIn Experiment 1\, 17 Andalusian speakers and 10 Castilian speakers participated in a carrier phrase reading task to test the acoustic differences between orthographic rl\, rn and l\, n sequences. The Andalusian speakers produced rl\, rn sequences as geminate [l:] and [n:]\, and their duration was nearly twice as long as non-geminate l\, n (ratio = 1.90). We also extracted duration values and formant frequencies of the vowels preceding and following these consonants\, but significant differences did not emerge in the singleton-geminate comparisons. On the other hand\, the Castilian speakers showed shorter [n] and [l] durations in rl\, rn sequences compared to l\, n\, indicating non-geminate production in both conditions. In Experiment 2\, 10 Andalusian speakers read sentences designed to test durational differences in lexical geminates (of the types identified in Experiment 1) and syntactic geminates. The results show non-significant differences between conditions\, adding further support to the claim that the only universal acoustic feature that we can reliably identify for geminates may be constriction duration (Kawahara\, 2015). To conclude\, we provide implications for the structural status of Andalusian geminates (including certain prosodic restrictions) and present ideas for an ongoing perception study.

Proponents of the new law argue that children’s work is inevitable given widespread poverty\, and that requiring the Bolivian state to monitor this work will ensure children are protected from exploitation. Critics argue that legalizing child labor not only exposes children to a range of hazards\, it impedes their education and hinders Bolivia’s development. At the heart of this debate is the Union of Bolivian Child Workers (UNATSBO)\, who petitioned the Government for this right to work\, citing their dignity and their need to maintain family incomes. Equally prominent is President Evo Morales\, who defended the UNATSBO’s demands in the name of Andean tradition. Yet what are the dangers of championing children’s labor in the name of rights and dignity\, and of claiming that international labor standards are a Western imposition from which Bolivia needs to decolonize itself? What political-economic\, ethnic\, and racial realities are elided when such complex matters are framed in these terms? At the same time\, who should have the right to speak for whom? And what viable options do children and the Bolivian state have in confronting this child labor/development challenge? In this meeting of the Circulo Andino\, we invite scholars of the Andes to weigh in on these questions and learn about how this issue shapes international policy-making on Bolivia.\n\nRandall Hicks is an International Relations Officer at the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs.

The modern Geand Canyon landscape passes two fundamental tests of long-term\, kilometer-scale equilibrium erosion since Laramide incision: (1) Perturb the modern landscape with hard rock\, and it quickly erodes back very close its initial form\, and no farther\; the disequilibrium erosion rates are orders of magnitude greater than the long-term erosion rate\; (2) The thermal history of the modern surface does not vary significantly with elevation. A key prediction of long-term equilibrium erosion is that Grand Canyon existed through essentially all of Cenozoic time\, and so evidence of detritus derived from it should be found in Tertiary basins in surrounding lowlands. Certain orthoquartzite clasts within gravels in the upper part of the Sespe Fm.\, a mid-Tertiary delta complex in coastal southern California\, appear to exhibit a combination of petrographic\, geochemical\, paleomagnetic and detrital zircon signatures that are unique to the Shinumo Quartzite\, a ca. 1.1 Ga orthoquartzite known only from the Upper Granite Gorge region of Grand Canyon. This discovery corroborates earlier suggestions that an “Arizona River” drainage system\, precursory to the formation of the modern Colorado River (but with a much more limited drainage area)\, was supplying detritus to the coastal borderlands in mid-Tertiary time\, and that the post-Laramide drainage divide had locally migrated as far east as the cratonic interior of North America by the end of Laramide time. Intergration of inland drainages with the Arizona River six million years ago marked an eastward shift of the continental divide to its present position in Colorado.

Studies of many components of this biodiversity are not only interesting in their own right but are also needed for global perspectives on the origins and evolution of animal\, plant and fugal groups that have more cosmopolitan distributions. However\, much South Asian biodiversity is poorly known and understudied such that there is much more remaining to be discovered (and opportunities for exciting discoveries). I will give some examples of recent biodiversity research in South Asia. Beyond the biology per se I will also highlight and discuss obstacles to biodiversity research in South Asia from a historical perspective. I will suggest that\, at least in some areas\, there are strong indications of substantial advances in science quality associated with the maturation of a new generation of biodiversity scientists.\n\nMark Wilkinson is a British Evolutionary Biologists. He is currently Head of Vertebrates in the Department of Life Sciences at the Natural History Museum having previously lectured at the Universities of Bristol and Glasgow. He holds honorary and visiting professorships at University College London and the Free University of Brussels\, is a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences and is President-Elect of the Systematics Association. He has been conducting and encouraging research on the caecilian amphibians of South Asia for more than 20 years and has spent many months there pursuing collaborations with many South Asian scientists.

Our research focuses on community level variability in speech production and perception\, and on how individual members of a community perform within the complex variable landscape of their speech community. \n\nSince ongoing sound changes are characterized by variability\, understanding the structure of variation\, and in particular the relation between perception and production in individual members of a speech community\, can shed light on how sound changes are initiated and how they progress through a speech community. Do perception and production norms change together\, or are they partially independent such that change in the one can lead change in the other? If they change separately\, which is more likely to change first? Are individuals who produce innovative forms also more likely to rely on the innovative cues in perception?\n\nTo investigate these questions\, this presentation will focus on the results of a study on the ongoing process of tonogenesis in Afrikaans. In Afrikaans\, the historical distinction between voiced and voiceless plosives is currently being replaced by a distinction between high and low tone on neighboring vowels. This presentation will show how this change is realized in the speech community\, with particular focus on the relation between perception and production norms in individual members of the community. The presentation will end with a brief review of a currently ongoing study that uses eye-tracking technology and airflow measures to investigate the relationship between the perception and production of anticipatory nasalization in English ('sent' produced with a nasal vowel). The implications of these studies for theories about the cognitive representation of speech and theories of sound change will be considered.

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.

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.

Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

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.

The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

His distinctive style of artistic expression captured the spirit of civil rights and black pride.\n\nAs an artist and educator\, Lockard was a mentor to many on the University of Michigan campus and beyond. Among other accolades\, he was a founder of the U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. His paintings can be viewed across the U-M campus\, including many of the murals in residence hall multicultural lounges.\n\nHours: Sun 1-10pm\, Mon-Thurs 8am-10pm\, Fri 8am-5pm\, Sat 1-6pm\n\nJoin us for a reception on Tuesday\, February 23\, 3-6pm in the Fine Arts Library\, with honored guest Mrs. Leslie Kamil\, the artist's widow.

Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

Drawing on extensive archival materials—administrative correspondence\, municipal records\, petitions\, and judicial inquiries and testimonies—Israeli’s work examines how different Spaniards appropriated concepts such as “the common good\,” “good government\,” and “tyranny” to make various political claims\, mobilize collective action\, and legitimize forms of violence and authority. Analyzing the political language that informed phenomena such as urban protest and revolt\, the growing of central administration\, the structuring of public spaces in cities\, or the eruption of violence against ethnic and religious minorities\, this project proposes the struggles over the meanings of republican concepts as a new perspective from which to examine the history of Spain in a period of significant social and cultural transformations.

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.

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.

We'll read and hear examples of different verse forms: sonnets\, couplets\, alliterative verse\, blank verse\, free verse\, really free verse\, and poems in unusual meters and stanzas. Examples will be drawn from very early English poetry up to poetry in the 20th century. We will think about how poetry works as a narrative\, as a vehicle for experience\, and as self-expression. We will consider how grammar and syntax affect the shaping of verse and how the hybrid character of English affects its poetic expression. We will use a short anthology that Jim McIntosh will compose and make available in class\, rather than a textbook. James McIntosh is Professor Emeritus of English and American Culture at U-M. This class meets Mondays until April 18th. No class on March 21.

In the years since September 11\, 2001\, the sheikh character has steadily risen in popularity in romance novels\, even while depictions of Arab masculinity as backward and violent in nature have dominated the cultural landscape. \n \nAn Imperialist Love Story contributes to the broader conversation about the legacy of orientalist representations of Arabs in Western popular culture. Combining close readings of novels\, discursive analysis of blogs and forums\, and interviews with authors\, Jarmakani explores popular investments in the war on terror by examining the collisions between fantasy and reality in desert romances. Focusing on issues of security\, freedom\, and liberal multiculturalism\, she foregrounds the role that desire plays in contemporary formations of U.S. imperialism. Drawing on transnational feminist theory and cultural studies\, An Imperialist Love Story offers a radical reinterpretation of the war on terror\, demonstrating romance to be a powerful framework for understanding how it works\, and how it perseveres.\n\nAmira Jarmakani is an Associate Professor and Director of the Institute for Women's\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Georgia State University. She received her doctorate from Emory University in the Graduate Institute of Liberal Arts (Cultural Studies) with a graduate certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies and her bachelor’s degree from Duke University in English with secondary teacher certification. She is the author of An Imperialist Love Story: Desert Romances and the War on Terror (New York University press\, 2015). She also authored Imagining Arab Womanhood: The Cultural Mythology of Veils\, Harems\, and Belly Dancers in the U.S. (Palgrave Macmillan 2008)\, which won the National Women’s Studies Association Gloria E. Anzaldúa book prize. She has published articles in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society\, American Quarterly\, and Critical Arts: A South-North Journal for Cultural and Media Studies as well as chapters in Arabs in the Americas\, Arab and Arab American Feminisms\, and Between the Middle East and the Americas: The Cultural Politics of Diaspora.

Please visit fordschool.umich.edu on the day of the event for viewing access information.\n\nJoin the conversation: #policytalks\n\nFerguson\, Cleveland\, Baltimore\, Chicago ... Cities across America are in crisis\, grappling with the need to enact meaningful reforms in the wake of a growing spotlight on the use of deadly force by police officers.\n\nCincinnati\, once synonymous with broken policing\, has been put forward as model for reform in all of these cities and more--thanks to more than a decade of hard\, sustained work by a broad array of community organizations\, police leaders\, federal officials\, academics\, and many others.\n\nWe've convened a discussion with some of the key participants in Cincinnati’s reforms. With others\, they worked together to develop and implement the new approach to policing that has garnered such national attention. They'll be joined by a leader from the Detroit Police Department for reflections on what the lessons of Cincinnati might hold for communities here in Southeast Michigan and elsewhere.\n\nPanelists:\n\nRev. Damon Lynch III\, New Prospect Baptist Church\, Cincinnati\, OH. Community activist and former President of the Cincinnati Black United Front\, which led the class action lawsuit against the Cincinnati Police Department.\n\nJames Whalen\, former Assistant Chief\, Cincinnati Police Department.

Clinical hygiene\, however\, came at a price. Particularly during the second half of the century\, medicine got cleaner through embracing a logic of disposability. In other words\, in cleaning up\, everyday medicine came to produce heaps and heaps of (mostly plastic) medical garbage. This talk takes this story of medicine everywhere to one Indian city\, Chennai\, and looks into what happened next.\n\nSarah Hodges works on the social and cultural history of modern South Asia\, specifically the politics of health in colonial and postcolonial India (particularly the Tamil-speaking south). Her interests lie at the intersection of a number of fields: modern South Asian history\, cultural studies\, urban history\, and the history of science\, technology and medicine.\n\nHodges' current project\, Biotrash\, asks questions about the contemporary history of health care through exploring the afterlives of medical garbage in Chennai\, one of India's new health care hub cities.\n\nThis event is cosponsored by the U-M Science\, Technology & Society Program.

Until World War II\, Latino immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Now three new waves bring large-scale immigration from Puerto Rico\, Cuba\, and the Dominican Republic. As the Puerto Rican government implements a historic overhaul over a million Puerto Ricans are encouraged to leave for the US mainland\, to alleviate the economic pressure. Ethnic tensions explode in youth gang warfare depicted in films like West Side Story\, etching the stereotype of the knife wielding Puerto Rican in the American consciousness.\n\nIn the film\, Rita Moreno plays the role of Anita and wins an Oscar. But for most Puerto Ricans empowerment remains elusive. A young Puerto Rican lawyer\, Herman Badillo\, takes on the political establishment\, opening the door for unprecedented Puerto Rican participation in electoral politics. In the early 60s\, the first Cubans flee the left-wing Castro regime\, a relatively white\, middle-class flight that soon forms a refugee enclave in Miami.\n\nIn 1965\, fearing another Communist takeover in the Caribbean\, President Johnson sends Marines to the Dominican Republic\, triggering a third wave of immigration. With a US visa in hand\, 20 year-old university student\, Eligio Peña\, flees to New York. Eventually he brings his family to New York as Dominicans build a new home in Washington Heights.

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.

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.

Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

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 subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

However\, in the absence of administrative data\, similar variations have received less attention for primary care and certainly less attention in low and middle income countries. We use a novel methodology that combines audit studies with direct tests of health care providers’ knowledge to address this gap. We show that “avoidable” care\, defined as care that was unlikely to improve the underlying condition\, accounts for as much as 75% of all expenditures in our rural Indian setting. These costs arise both due to the use of unnecessary medicines and under-evaluation that leads to incorrect treatment for the underlying condition. Using the tests of knowledge\, we show that the majority of avoidable care occurs because doctors truly “believe” that these medicines are necessary—and this is more so for fully trained and qualified providers. On the other hand\, under-evaluation whereby the doctor knew to give the correct treatment but did not when faced with the same patient\, appears to reflect a lack of effort and accounts for 45% of avoidable care. We discuss the implication of these results for regulation and policy and pose further questions for theoretical and empirical research.

In this talk\, Professor Kinzley will reveal the often overlooked connection between the development of Chinese political institutions\, coercive apparatus\, infrastructure\, and immigrant communities in the 1950s and early 1960s with the larger effort to gain access to Xinjiang's rich oil wealth. This approach not only corrects the historical record on the Chinese process of state formation\, but also uncovers the roots of indigenous unrest and violence in this border region.\n\nJudd Kinzley is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin\, Madison. He is a historian of modern China with research and teaching interests that include environmental history\, state power\, industrial development\, and wartime mobilization. His research tends to center around understanding the connections that exist between state power and the natural world in various Chinese peripheral and border regions\, and is currently working on a manuscript on mining and the extension of the Chinese state into Xinjiang province in China’s far west during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

How did a Renaissance historian of language and culture develop a hypothesis about the history of the earth that contradicted both his knowledge and experience of its fixity? This talk will explore the interlinked ideas of linguistic and continental drift that arose from one author’s fascination with relics\, fossils\, etymology\, and the global legacy of linguistic confusion in the aftermath of the Tower of Babel. It will consider the ways in which Renaissance ideas about the history of language\, as well as stories and myths about that history\, made possible a re-conceptualization of the deep history of the earth’s surfaces.\n\nMarjorie Rubright is associate professor of English at the University of Toronto and the 2015-2016 Norman Freehling Visiting Professor at the Institute for the Humanities\, University of Michigan. A scholar of Renaissance literature and culture\, her work focuses on the period’s epistemologies of race\, gender\, and ethnicity\, engaging with a wide range of early modern materials\, including drama\, pageantry\, dictionaries\, atlases\, engravings\, and architecture. Her first book Doppelgänger Dilemmas: Anglo-Dutch Relations in Early Modern English Literature and Culture (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2014) reveals the significance of the literary and historical forces of similitude and proximity in an era that was so often preoccupied with ethnic and cultural difference. At Toronto\, she has served as dramaturge for a production of the Renaissance ‘pirate’ drama\, A Christian Turn’d Turke\, co-organized an international interdisciplinary conference on Early Modern Migrations\, and is currently co-curating the special exhibition\, ‘So Long Lives This:’ Celebrating Shakespeare 1616-2016\, opening this February at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. Her current project\, A World of Words: Language\, Globalization\, and the English Renaissance\, considers how stories about the history of language shaped the period’s conceptions of globalization.

He is a practicing architect\, urban designer\, and educator. His firm\, RMA Architects\, was founded in 1990 in Mumbai and has designed and executed projects for clients that include government and non-governmental agencies\, corporate as well as private individuals and institutions.\n\nRMA Architects has also initiated several unsolicited projects driven by the firm’s commitment to advocacy in the city of Mumbai. The firm has designed a software campus for Hewlett Packard in Bangalore\, a campus for Magic Bus (a NGO that works with poor children)\, the restoration of the Chowmahalla Palace in Hyderabad\, and with the Taj Mahal Conservation Collaborative\, a conservation master plan for the Taj Mahal. The firm is currently working on a social housing project for 100 elephants and their caretakers in Jaipur as well as a corporate office in Hyderabad and several single family houses in different parts of India.\n\nMehrotra has written and lectured extensively on issues to do with architecture\, conservation\, and urban planning in Mumbai and India. His writings include co-authoring Bombay—The Cities Within\, which covers the city’s urban history from the 1600s to the present\; Banganga—Sacred Tank\; Public Places Bombay\; Anchoring a City Line\, a history of the city’s commuter railway\; and Bombay to Mumbai—Changing Perspectives. He has also co-authored Conserving an Image Center—The Fort Precinct in Bombay. Based on this study and its recommendations\, the historic Fort area in Mumbai was declared a conservation precinct in 1995—the first such designation in India.\n\nHis other publications include books on the Victoria Terminus Station\, a world heritage site\, in Mumbai\; on the impact of conservation legislation there\; and most recently\, on that city’s Art Deco buildings. In 2000\, he edited a book for the UIA that earmarks the end of the century and is titled The Architecture of the 20th Century in the South Asian Region. Mehrotra has also edited the first of the three books that document the 2004 Michigan Debates on Urbanism\, and in 2011 wrote Architecture in India – Since 1990\, which is a reading of contemporary architecture in India. (see list – http://RMAarchitects.com/content_type/book/).\n\nHe has long been actively involved in civic and urban affairs in Mumbai\, having served on commissions for the conservation of historic buildings and environmental issues\, with various neighborhood groups\, and\, from 1994 to 2004\, as Executive Director of the Urban Design Research Institute. He studied at the School of Architecture\, Ahmedabad (CEPT)\, and graduated with a master’s degree with distinction in Urban Design from the GSD. He has taught at the University of Michigan (2003–2007) and at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at MIT (2007–2010).\n\nHis current research involves looking at India’s medium-sized cities and the broader emergent patterns of urbanism in India. Mehrotra’s ongoing research is focused on evolving a theoretical framework for designing in conditions of informal growth – what he refers to as the ‘Kinetic City’. He has run several studios looking at various aspects of planning questions in the city of Mumbai\, under the rubric of “Extreme Urbanism” (see video).\n\nMehrotra is a member of the steering committee of the South Asia Initiative at Harvard and curates their series on Urbanization. He currently is leading a university-wide research project with Professor Diana Eck\, called The Kumbh Mela – Mapping the Ephemeral City.\n\nThe Raoul Wallenberg Lecture was initiated in 1971 by Sol King\, a former classmate of Wallenberg's. An endowment was established in 1976 for an annual lecture to be offered in Raoul's honor on the theme of architecture as a humane social art.\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 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.

However\, credit constraints and incomplete information about financial aid options can prevent students from receiving their optimal level of education. Using WARN Act data on business closings and mass layoffs in Michigan in 2003-2012\, I exploit the exogenous variation in local job losses in the year that students graduate from high school\, examining changes in college-going rates and substitution between two-year and four-year colleges. A 1-standard deviation increase in per capita job losses is associated with a small but statistically significant 0.2-percentage point increase in the probability of attending college\, driven entirely by attendance at two-year colleges. In some subgroups\, local job losses are associated with a small but significant decrease in attendance at four-year colleges. This result implies that both standard human capital theory and credit constraints have roles in guiding students' college-going decisions in the face of a turbulent labor market.

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.

Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

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 subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

I emphasize the change in the representation of the city in relation to it hosting the Olympics—the Olympics that were by the large majority of observers seen as a sheer success. Although this success resulted in a worldwide positive image of Socialist Yugoslavia and the host city Sarajevo\, in particular\, the line “Sarajevo\, my dearest city\, we fixed you for the Olympics” should not be read as a celebration of this success. Rather\, in this line\, the band Zabranjeno pušenje (No Smoking) put forward an ironic statement that can be read as an attack on the dominant modernization narrative in Socialist Yugoslavia. According to this narrative\, Sarajevo’s cultural production was perceived as backward in comparison to that in other major cultural centers of Yugoslavia.\n\nFrom this point of departure\, I present several examples of how Sarajevo was represented in local and other Yugoslav newspapers and magazines\, in official documents (among others those of the Communist Party and of the Yugoslav Olympic Committee) and in popular culture in the period between 1979 and 1987. I discuss how these representations are related to the ideas of the necessity to “catch up” to the West and to get rid of the country’s Ottoman heritage. I argue that\, in order to depict the former\, we need to understand how the uneven inflow of western material and cultural products in the country shaped this idea of backwardness. Western products\, especially the cultural ones\, would always enter the western and northern parts of the country\, before spreading towards the southeast\, translating the idea of “catching up” to the West into an internal hierarchy according to which southern and southeastern parts of the country were trying\, more or less successively\, to “catch up” to the northern and northwestern ones. This hierarchy was closely related to the notion of Ottoman yoke. According to this notion\, the regions of the country that had been longer under the Ottomans were reciprocally least capable of becoming western. \n\nZlatko Jovanovic is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen\, where he also has completed his PhD and his MA in history.

The Chinese government refers to the remaining ten percent\, as Minzu–nationalities or minorities. The Minzu population consists of fifty-five ethnicities\, each with its own distinct music and cultural traditions. Minzu people and the Chinese government have made valiant efforts to highlight the cultural distinctions of ethnic minorities through its educational institutions and government-sponsored cultural centers. In October 2015\, ethnomusicologist Lester Monts led a group videographers to universities and music conservatories in Beijing\, Shenyang\, and Anshan\, and the Splendid China Folk Village to capture samples of music and dance of China’s ethnic minorities. This presentation is part of an on-going project to capture Chinese Minzu music on film\; it provides a wonderful contrast to the “high” art music that is generally known to Western audiences.\n\n(Image: A Miao gong performance\, using a metal bucket as a moving resonator)\n\nBiography\n\nLester Monts is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Music (ethnomusicology). For twenty-one years\, he served as the UM senior vice provost for academic affairs. With Dr. Louis Yen\, he negotiated with Chinese officials to establish the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan. He is currently director of the Michigan Musical Heritage Project that seeks to capture on film the state’s folk\, ethnic\, and immigrant music traditions\, and he is director-designate of the Stearns Musical Instrument Collection. As a senior consultant to the Chinese Language Council International (Hanban)\, he has traveled throughout China and has been awarded six honorary professorships from Chinese universities and music conservatories. His work on musical heritage has now carried over to China where he has begun to collect film data on the music of China’s ethnic minorities.

However\, as the lecture will argue\, the same devices could serve very different\, politically and aesthetically conservative\, purposes. By examining the history of the transformations of montage in Russian culture during the past century\, we can better understand the roots of the popularity of neo-conservative tastes in today’s Russia. The lecture will focus on the paradoxical influence which the avant-garde film director Serguei Eisenstein exerted upon the conservative\, anti-modernist writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn.\n \n \nIlya Kukulin is an associate professor at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow and is currently a visiting professor at Washington and Lee University\, Lexington\, Virginia.

K-pop cover dance is a definitive social activity among Asian sissies (young feminine gay men)\, organized in an extensive contest circuit leading to an annual competition in Korea. Thai sissies are among the most passionate and proficient practitioners of K-pop cover dance\, and some groups\, such as the Wonder Gay\, Boys’ Generation\, and Millenium Boy [sic]\, have become national celebrities. I examine how cover dance establishes a new social space for feminine Thai males to express themselves through the idiom of Korean female embodiment. Semiprofessional cover dancers constitute a class of “hyper-fans” who become “demi-idols\,” with fan followings in their own right. I then explore Thai tom (masculine lesbian) gender performances that follow soft masculinity modeled on K-pop. I argue that Thai modeling of K-pop aesthetics embodies aspirations for personal and national development that index participation in a new cosmopolitan Asian sphere. Cover dance and related phenomenon in Thailand highlight recent shifts in Asian regionalism\, idol fandom\, and transgressive gender performance.\n\nDredge Byung’chu Käng\nis a Postdoctoral Fellow in Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Washington University in Saint Louis.

Dredge has published in journals such as GLQ (2011)\, Asian Studies Review (2012)\, and Transgender Studies Quarterly (2014)\, in addition to several edited collections. Dredge’s dissertation White Asians Wanted: Queer Racialization in Thailand\, explores the desire to embody and partner with “white Asians\,” or light-skinned Asians from developed countries. Dredge’s second project\, tentatively titled Amazing Waves: Queering East Asian Popular Culture through Thailand\, explores the impact of the Korean Wave and Cool Japan on the performance of Thai gender\, sexuality\, and race as well as queer Thai influence on other Southeast Asian nations such as Vietnam and the Philippines.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\, the Spectrum Center\, and the Center for World Performance Studies.

Her research on modern and contemporary architecture and urbanism foregrounds the intertwined histories of Europe and West Asia. Her book Architecture in Translation: Germany\, Turkey and the Modern House (Duke\, 2012) offers a new way to understand the global movement of architecture that extends the notion of translation beyond language to visual fields. It advocates a commitment to a new culture of translatability from below and in multiple directions for truly cosmopolitan ethics and global justice. Her book Turkey: Modern Architectures in History(Reaktion/University of Chicago Press\, 2012\, coauthor Sibel Bozdoğan) is part of a series that aims at an inclusive survey of modern world architecture\, and is the first volume in any language to cover the entire 20th century in Turkey.\n\nAkcan is currently working on her next book on the urban renewal of Berlin's immigrant neighborhood\, through which she explores a theory of open architecture. She has received numerous awards and fellowships\, and has authored more than a hundred articles in scholarly books and professional journals in multiple languages. She has also participated in exhibitions as an artist by carrying her practice beyond writing to visual media. She was educated as an architect in Turkey and received her Ph.D. from Columbia University.\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.

Until World War II\, Latino immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Now three new waves bring large-scale immigration from Puerto Rico\, Cuba\, and the Dominican Republic. As the Puerto Rican government implements a historic overhaul over a million Puerto Ricans are encouraged to leave for the US mainland\, to alleviate the economic pressure. Ethnic tensions explode in youth gang warfare depicted in films like West Side Story\, etching the stereotype of the knife wielding Puerto Rican in the American consciousness.\n\nIn the film\, Rita Moreno plays the role of Anita and wins an Oscar. But for most Puerto Ricans empowerment remains elusive. A young Puerto Rican lawyer\, Herman Badillo\, takes on the political establishment\, opening the door for unprecedented Puerto Rican participation in electoral politics. In the early 60s\, the first Cubans flee the left-wing Castro regime\, a relatively white\, middle-class flight that soon forms a refugee enclave in Miami.\n\nIn 1965\, fearing another Communist takeover in the Caribbean\, President Johnson sends Marines to the Dominican Republic\, triggering a third wave of immigration. With a US visa in hand\, 20 year-old university student\, Eligio Peña\, flees to New York. Eventually he brings his family to New York as Dominicans build a new home in Washington Heights. Julia Alvarez would take the immigrant experience – her own and that of her fellow Dominicans – to unprecedented literary heights in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. In her work\, she explores the hybrid identity taking shape in a new generation of Latinos\, who are now demanding their place in America.

This interest is visible in the mushrooming of Festivals of Jewish culture\, the governmental sponsorship of new museums and memorials\, as well as the emergence of Jewish studies programs at multiple universities. How can we make sense of this phenomenon? Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork\, archival research and interviews\, Zubrzycki shows why and how the revival of Jewish culture is part of broader process of redefinition of Polishness and the building of pluralism in contemporary Poland.\n\nGeneviève Zubrzycki is Associate Professor of Sociology and a Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan\, where she also directs the Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREES) and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies (CPPS). Her award-winning book\, The Crosses of Auschwitz: Nationalism and Religion in Post-Communist Poland (University of Chicago Press\, 2006) examined the relationship between Polish nationalism and Catholicism\, with specific attention to memory wars and the contested use of religious symbols by ultranationalist Poles at Auschwitz. It was recently translated into Polish (Krakow: Nomos\, 2014). Prof. Zubrzycki is currently completing a new book on the on-going revival of Jewish communities in Poland and non-Jewish Poles’ interest in all things Jewish. She has published on the topic in several journals and edited volumes.\n\nSponsored by: Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies and JCC's Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment UID:26347-2053244@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/26347 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160201T084249 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160224T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160224T210000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS CINEMANGA FILM SERIES | Boruto: Naruto the Movie DESCRIPTION:Presented by the U-M Center for Japanese Studies with additional support from Vault of Midnight.\n\nIn this installation of MASASHI KISHIMOTO‘s expansive anime series\, it has been long since the end of the Shinobi War and Naruto Uzumaki is now the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure.
