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. Early in Palmer’s artistic career\, he worked in pottery\, batik\, photography and glass before finally settling on mixed media sculpture.

As a child\, Wagner Coron often played outside\, ran in the woods and fields\, and developed a deep inward connection to the land. Her work reflects that relationship. Her husband Steven Coron\, also with a BFA from EMU\, is an artist with a deep affinity for the Great Lakes who teaches fine arts at Community High school in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. In his current photographic work\, he captures single digital images\, which he edits and joins to create digital panoramic photomontages.

These designs begin by sketching flowers from her garden and then abstracting interesting shapes from the sketches. These sketches are used when designing the pottery. Bandstra lives and has her studio in Grand Haven\, Michigan. She teaches art for Hudsonville Public Schools and serves as curator for community art events.

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. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

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

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library.

This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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 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.

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.

But as Austinite David Ramirez notched mile number 260\,000 traveled in his 2006 Kia Rio\, the novelty began to wear off. \"I've learned a lot from being alone and isolated\,\" says David\, who until recently toured completely by himself\, without a band\, manager or anyone else for company. \"Yes\, it's romantic in a way. But it has also been kind of rough on my head and my heart. After a while it made it difficult to connect with people on a personal level when I got home.\" It's taken three years since that realization\, but with his new album\, \"Fables\,\" David shows personal growth both as a musician and as a man. That newfound maturity and clarity translated into a new approach in the studio as David traveled to Seattle to work with friend and producer Noah Gundersen\, who produced the album. \"Fables\" is a sparse\, poignant set of songs crafted around David's starkly beautiful baritone\, which The New York Times once described as full of \"haggard loneliness.\" Songwriter Lucette\, who has toured with Sturgill Simpson and Joe Ely\, is tonight's special guest.

When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity.

Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience.

Prof. Somerville explores a ritual that is not typically considered part of U.S. naturalization history\, but was carried out by federal officials in the early twentieth century to confer citizenship on American Indians under the Dawes Act. Drawing on archival materials\, she contextualizes these ceremonies within the longer history of U.S. policies and practices for producing new citizens. In stark and startling terms\, these materials demonstrate the federal state’s fantasy that naturalization could dramatize and install settler norms of race\, sexuality\, and gender among American Indians. But\, in practice\, other things could happen – and often did.

We create experimental asset markets with the structure first studied by Smith\, Suchanek and Williams (1988)\, which is known to generate price bubbles and crashes. To track traders’ emotions in real time\, we analyze participants' facial expressions with facereading software before and while the market is operating. We find that a positive emotional state correlates with purchases and overpricing. Fear correlates with low prices\, price decreases\, and selling. The experiment confirms the intuition that emotions and market dynamics are closely related.​ UID:24027-1428119@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24027 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:North Quad - 3100 (Ehrlicher Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160302T102841 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160307T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160307T180000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series | The Boy and the Beast DESCRIPTION:Opens Friday\, March 4 at the State.

The paper develops a theoretical model that studies how firms optimally split knowledge between their headquarters and their production plants if communication costs impede the access of production plants to headquarter knowledge. The paper assumes that the foreign plants of multinational firms face higher communication costs with headquarters than their domestic plants\, and shows that multinational firms therefore systematically assign more knowledge to both their foreign and domestic plants than non-multinationals. This helps explain why multinational firms pay higher wages to their production workers than non-multinational firms\, and why their sales and their investment probability decrease across space. Empirical evidence from novel data on corporate transferees confirms the model predictions for multinationals’ organization of knowledge. Comprehensive data on German multinational firms corroborate the model implications in relation to the geography of multinationals’ sales and investments.

The Arabic revival and reform period of the long nineteenth century which Albert Hourani famously conceived as the liberal age and periodized from 1798-1939\, has\, indeed\, functioned as the foundational process of Arab modernity as well as a bedrock of cultural self-reflection. Historically\, the Nahda – literally “rising up\,” but usually glossed as “renaissance” or “awakening” – was not a unified process or stable actor-category\; nor did it have a single\, incontestable moment of inception. In light of a growing interest in the Nahda in English-language scholarship between September 2001 and the uprisings of 2011\, this talk will offer some reflections on the place of the Nahda in Arab modernity discourses.

We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:29456-3120362@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160308T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160308T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. 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.

And “no” to one thing of course usually implies “yes” to something else. This talk considers the pivotal role of refusal in the lives of two very fascinating Buddhist figures in Chinese cultural history: the seventeenth-century Chan master and painter Kuncan \, and the multi-talented twentieth-century Vinaya master and pure land practitioner Hongyi . Would there be a “Kuncan” or a “Hongyi\,” these two exceptional figures still remembered today\, had they not made use of the power of “no”?\n\nRaoul Birnbaum is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he also holds both the Rebele Endowed Chair in History of Art & Visual Culture and the Gary Lick Memorial Chair at Cowell College (2015-2018). His early scholarship focused on Buddhist “deity”cults – the buddhas\, bodhisattvas\, and guardian figures – in Chinese Buddhist worlds\, and also the great mountain pilgrimage centers that have defined territorial flows in Buddhist China. His present on-going research projects focus on major Buddhist figures of the Republican period\, especially Hongyi\, and their late seventeenth-century predecessors.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, Latinas/os accounted for more than one-fifth of all new HIV infections in 2010 despite representing only 16% of the U.S. population\; most resulted from male-to-male sexual contact. The gravity of these numbers is compounded by the fact that in 2012\, after the passage of the Affordable Care Act\, nearly one-third of all Latinas/os under 65 lacked health insurance. Despite these statistics\, the primary story about HIV/AIDS now told in the United States is what sociologist Claire Laurier Decoteau calls the aftermath narrative. In response\, this talk examines what the gay Chicano writer Gil Cuadros\, whose book City of God depicts queer and Chicana/o communities living with HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles during the late 1980s and early 1990s\, teaches us in the era of the so-called aftermath. Cuadros offers contemporary readers a fierce critique of the political communities – including those constructed by Chicano nationalism and white gay homonormativity – that leave queer Latinos with HIV/AIDS unprotected. Challenging health care inequities and interrogating dominant understandings of “healthy” sexuality\, the work of Gil Cuadros remains profoundly relevant at a time when comprehensive health care access for young\, queer Latino men remains tenuous.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nJulie Avril Minich is assistant professor of English and Mexican American & Latina/o Studies at the University of Texas at Austin\, where she teaches courses in Latina/o studies\, disability studies\, and feminist/LGBT studies.

Recent scholarship has called into question the assumption that the mortality risk of being overweight is unchanged historically. We use two large samples of New Zealand men who survived World War I or World War II\, and trace nearly 80% to death records. We find no evidence of higher mortality risk for men with low BMI\, but in both cohorts there was a significantly greater risk of early mortality for men with a BMI over 27 at enlistment. However\, the magnitude of the increased risk from being overweight halved between the two cohorts. Thus our study contributes new evidence that twentieth century improvements in nutrition and medicine allowed people to live longer at high body masses.

Sideline consists of Steve Dilling (banjo)\, Skip Cherryholmes (guitar)\, Jason Moore (bass)\, Brian Aldridge (mandolin)\, and Nathan Aldridge (fiddle). As the name suggests\, Sideline intended to be a sometime band\, but the success of their debut album made Sideline a main line. Sideline captures much of what was great about bluegrass in the 1980s and early 1990s. Serving up what was contemporary bluegrass thirty years ago. they sound traditional in 2015. Sideline's driving bluegrass with killer harmonies and propulsive rhythm\, well-chosen blend of new and old material\, and especially the focus being an equal ensemble takes the listener right back in time to when these guys were jamming in the campground.

DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years.

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.

But for school choice to be effective\, low-income students and their families need the resources\, information\, and supports to select high-performing high schools. Even when students have information about school quality\, they may not use it effectively and may not know how to improve their chances of getting into selective high schools. These issues are especially important in New York City\, home to the nation’s largest high school choice program. This seminar will explore these issues.

Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office.

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.

Despite impressions that today’s college students are hyper-engaged with the world around them\, many are actually under-connected to the people and resources that could be most beneficial to their overall well-being. According to a recent study\, college freshmen are spending less time with friends than ever. In addition\, for students struggling with mental health concerns\, their symptoms can make it difficult to start new relationships\, or to get the most out of existing relationships – be it with peers\, romantic partners\, family members\, professors\, campus administrators\, or clinicians.\n\nJoin us for the 14th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference to learn about new research findings\, model programs\, and innovative strategies to encourage the formation of positive interpersonal relationships which promote student mental health.\n\nThe 2-day conference will feature a choice of intensive three-hour workshops in addition to keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, and concurrent sessions.

Yet\, educators often put the priority on the curriculum first\, and then set the assessment standards after the main elements of curriculum are established. However\, in order to reach the clear learning outcomes at the end of a course\, setting standards for the assessment should lead any curriculum development. This is what “Backward Design” has been emphasizing for the last decade.\n\nBackward Design is a process that focuses on assessment first and instructional activities last. It shifts teacher perspectives. Traditional curriculum design often begins with really interesting materials or activities we want to teach or are required to cover. We then design a curriculum\, often on the go and then decide on some type of assessment at the end. Backward Design forces teachers to look at the big picture with the end goals in mind. In backward planning teachers set the vision or the essential understanding of their curriculum or unit\, decide how students will provide evidence of their learning\, and finally design instructional activities to help students learn what is needed to be successful.\n\nSahie Kang is the inaugural Director of the School of Korean\, Middlebury College and Professor Emeritus at Defense Language Institute. She holds a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Florida. She has worked in the field of Language and Linguistics for over 30 years and has been at DLI for 23.5 years. Dr. Kang has received several official commendations and awards for her work at DLI including Instructor of the Year in 1993 and received a National Order of Cultural Merit from the Korean government in 2010. She has also taught Linguistics and Korean at Middlebury Institute of International Studies and Ewha Women’s University as a visiting professor.\n\nWith her research interests in socio-linguistics and language and culture education\, she has given numerous presentations and published articles dealing with them. Outside her institution\, she has been the Master ACTFL OPI trainer/tester since 2002\, the President of American Association of Teachers of Korean for 2015-2018\, and a founding Chair of Korean Special Interest Group at the American Council on Teachers of Foreign Languages in (2006-2009\; 2012-2015).

She was thanked by President Obama and invited to the ceremony celebrating its being signed into law.\n\nIn 2012\, she was also instrumental in organizing the “Nuns on the Bus” tour of nine states to oppose the “Ryan Budget” approved by the House of Representatives. This budget would decimate programs meant to help people in need. “Nuns on the Bus” received an avalanche of attention across the nation from religious communities\, elected officials and the media.

This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts.

However\, in Dave’s own words\, “Sometimes Fate\, or God or the Universe\, gives you a rare chance to prove an old saying is wrong.” The brothers’ new album\, appropriately titled \"Lost Time\" does just that. Over the album's 12 tracks\, Dave and Phil pay homage to a number of artists and songs that had an early\, formative influence. Everyone from Lead Belly to James Brown is represented\, but the figure who looms largest on the album\, and in the brothers’ own musical journey\, is Big Joe Turner. The Alvins met Big Joe as teenagers\, and he would mentor them for the remainder of his life. They remain his humble students\, and they have cut four Big Joe songs for \"Lost Time.\" If their Grammy-nominated 2014 album \"Common Ground\" was the sound of a partnership rekindled\, \"Lost Time: is a four-alarm fire. Dave’s guitar work slithers and stings as never before\, and Phil’s feral howl cuts to the core. This is the first Ark show by either Alvin since they began creating this profound reflection on their musical roots. Massachusetts singer-songriter Sarah Borges\, who describes her shows as \"a lot of loud guitars and loud singing\,\" is special guest.

The good thing is that you can get out and stay out of group think and re-invigorate your creative work processes.\n\nYou will learn to:\n\nIdentify the signs that you may be getting stuck in group think\nApply techniques that promote creative and divergent thinking in your group\nUse strategies that replace “happy thought and skepticism” with “optimism and realism”\nUtilize 7 practical strategies to reduce or even avoid group failure\nDetermine when to use the knowledge of experts over the wisdom of the group \n\nYou will benefit by:\n\nExperiencing increased work group effectiveness\nAvoiding a watered-down end product when embarking on a group project\nWitnessing a reinvigorated team as they see real results\nObserving improved intra-team communications\n\nAudience:\n\nManagers who want to increase the effectiveness and communication of their teams UID:29265-3056213@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29265 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,Networking,Professional Development,Workshop LOCATION:Administrative Services Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160126T143255 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T160000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference DESCRIPTION:Social support and interpersonal relationships are important for both mental and physical health. Despite impressions that today’s college students are hyper-engaged with the world around them\, many are actually under-connected to the people and resources that could be most beneficial to their overall well-being. According to a recent study\, college freshmen are spending less time with friends than ever. In addition\, for students struggling with mental health concerns\, their symptoms can make it difficult to start new relationships\, or to get the most out of existing relationships – be it with peers\, romantic partners\, family members\, professors\, campus administrators\, or clinicians.\n\nJoin us for the 14th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference to learn about new research findings\, model programs\, and innovative strategies to encourage the formation of positive interpersonal relationships which promote student mental health.\n\nThe 2-day conference will feature a choice of intensive three-hour workshops in addition to keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, and concurrent sessions.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006.

Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:29456-3120364@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. 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.

Radioactive wastewater continues to be poured into the ocean\, while consumers continue to fear the possibility that their seafood is contaminated. Nevertheless\, the post-disaster sea is filled with hopeful narratives about a bright future. Even as they acknowledge the ruins of today\, these narratives gaze at the future\, by talking about hope\, ranging from the recovery of fish population\, to the improvement of marine conservation\, and to the development of floating offshore wind farms. But given the heightened precarity\, how do people actually imagine the future in the ruined seascape? How does the future that is imagined in the present link to the past? While these questions in the background\, the presentation will build from my ethnographic and historical research on fishing communities in and near Fukushima\, and discuss how Japanese modernization efforts have repeatedly ruined the seascape and yet simultaneously regenerated hope for the future.\n\nDr. Satsuki Takahashi is an assistant professor of anthropology at George Mason University\, and currently Toyota Visiting Professor with the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan (2015-2016).

In the medieval culture in which these narratives were born\, the sacred Marian narratives frame Jews as secularized outsiders\, concerned with material objects rather than perpetual sanctity. In the Early Modern culture in which they were preserved\, these three Marian legends immortalize antisemitism as the perfect refrain in sacred Christian temporality and\, perhaps more importantly\, as essential narratives in the growth of a nation.\n\nDr. Miriamne Ara Krummel is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Dayton and is currently serving as a Frankel Fellow at the Frankel Institute of Advanced Judaic Studies during the 2015-2016 academic year.

We know almost nothing about these microorganisms aside from a small sequence from their ribosomal RNA genes. However\, there is accumulating evidence that rare taxa sometimes contribute to community stability by rapidly responding to environmental changes. Given the ongoing stressors of global changes on our planet\, there is a critical need to determine the specific roles that rare taxa play for community stability. Here\, we aim to extend knowledge of what often is investigated as a static property (rarity and prevalence) towards its true dynamic nature. We discuss a statistical method for uncovering dynamics of persistent\, rare taxa that occasionally become more prominent in their communities (\"conditionally rare\"). Using this method\, we quantified conditionally rare taxa in time series from a variety of ecosystems. We discovered that conditionally rare taxa were present in all habitats\, and that they disproportionately contributed to temporal changes in diversity when they were most abundant. We offer a case study in deciphering the ecology of conditionally rare taxa\, informed by time series observations before\, during and after an ecosystem manipulation. Our results suggest that persistent but rare microbial taxa contribute to high within-sample (alpha) diversity\, and help to maintain community stability after disturbance.

The earliest traces of this trope can be found in the Songs of Chu\, a poetry anthology dating from the 3rd century BC\, and it would remain a recurring theme in poetic writings thereafter. This theme of “gazing from a height” has been explained both psychologically and as a symptom of the particularities of the traditional Chinese textual imagination. But it also bears examination as an aspect of the complex unfolding of other histories–those of visual perception\, emotions\, cognition\, and power. In her talk Professor Virág will discuss how these histories were interwoven\, drawing some conclusions about what the emotions bound up with seeing–and with failing to see–might reveal about the contentious domain of visual authority in traditional China.\n\nCurie Virág is an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. An intellectual historian of premodern China\, she focuses on the history of ethics\, moral psychology\, and epistemology in the Warring States (4th-3rd centuries BCE) and Tang-Song (7th-12th centuries CE) periods. Professor Virág's current book projects cover the evolution of thinking about emotions in premodern China from roughly 400 BCE to 1200 CE. \"The Emotions in Early Chinese Philosophy\,\" which deals with the early phase of this history\, will be completed at the end of 2015. The sequel to this study\, covering the period of early empire to 1200\, is in preparation. In her work on emotions\, and in more recent investigations–which focus on conceptions of the self and the human\, models of cognition\, and the theory and practice of landscapes–she has been exploring how past ways of thinking about human attributes\, faculties\, and capacities are interwoven with ideas about the workings of the physical world. \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Covering practically every aspect of Islamic culture\, this tradition is particularly rich in extensive historical sources such as chronicles and biographical collections. Most specimens of these two forms\, which often smoothly crossover into each other\, are multivolume titles that aggregate and copiously reuse earlier sources\, and\, in their turn\, get reused in later sources. Perhaps the largest specimen of these two genres is a 50-volume title\, “The History of Islam” (Taʾrīḫ al-islām)\, which was written by the famous Damascene religious scholar\, chronicler and biographer Šams al-dīn al-Ḏahabī (d. 748/1347 CE). Dubbed “one of the most ambitious histories of the entire world of Islam\,” this library of a book (~3\,4 mln. words) covers 700 years of Islamic history through over 30\,000 biographical records. Although nobody has ever doubted that this “History” is a compilation of earlier sources\, we have no understanding of the composition of this text: What earlier sources did al-Ḏahabī use? How and to what extent did he use his sources? Did he paraphrase\, summarize\, or quote his sources? How is his “History” related to his other writings? What kind of understanding did al-Ḏahabī have of the historical information that he collected? How does al-Ḏahabī’s work fit into the Arabic historiographical tradition? Was indeed a great historian who had written the most ambitious historical text or was he just an obsessive compiler?\n\nNone of these questions can be answered convincingly with traditional methods of historical inquiry. A computational approach of tracing text reuse in large corpora that fuels Viral Texts Project (http://viraltexts.org/ @ Northeasern University) offers a new perspective that will revolutionize the way how the scholars view not only the Arabic historiography\, but the entire Arabic written tradition. Using this approach that combines computational algorithms for tracing similarities among texts with the use of high-power computing\, the presentation will address three large sets of questions: 1) about the Arabic written tradition and the place of al-Ḏahabī’s “History” in it\; 2) his method of writing/compilation\; and 3) his work as a historian.

This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries” \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?

When José Ortega y Gasset diagnosed the new literature\, music\, and painting of the post-World War I generation as an art of “dehumanization\,” he celebrated Claude Debussy as a formative example. But what did this slogan actually mean? The question can be answered in part by considering the mode of aesthetic engagement Ortega called “outward concentration” (concentración hacia afuera)\, drawing upon sources in early phenomenology.

While this mirrors parallel developments in France\, Austria\, Belgium\, the UK\, Hungary and elsewhere\, Golden Dawn is unique among European parties in its rejection of parliamentarianism\, openly embracing violence as a means of realizing its political goals\, and definition of the Greek nation on biological and racial grounds. Analysts have identified a range of endemic causes that underlie its recent electoral success: the economic crisis and record levels of unemployment\; the clientelism of the Greek political system that could not be sustained once the economy collapsed\; the long historical roots of authoritarianism\, patriarchy\, and social conservatism among a segment of the population. In this talk\, I explore some further potential explanations of this phenomenon. Drawing on the findings of the Youth and History project carried out in 27 European countries in the mid-1990’s\, I argue that the discourses of continuity\, Othering\, and Western condescension seen in Greek high-school students’ responses more than a decade before the crisis erupted reflect broader societal discourses also manifested in ideologies about language in Greece during the 19th and 20th centuries. While these discourses were a part of the nation-building process at the time\, the lack of historical awareness and naïve ethnocentrism that accompanied them left Greek society vulnerable and ideologically “ready” to be swayed to political extremes when faced with extreme circumstances (the current economic crisis coupled with the influx of immigrants and refugees).

The session will be facilitated by eliza pérez-ollin and Peter Hammer\, of WSU's Detroit Equity Action Laboratory.\n\nThe impacts of these newly heightened practices will be explored\, with a special focus on the mass displacement of long-time African-American residents\, the rapid deterioration of neighborhoods\, and the threat to a stable regional water system that supplies water to a significant percentage of the state’s residents. Proposed solutions will include those that already exist but have not been implemented\, such as the water affordability plan and tax relief policies\, as well as other frameworks that could promote equitable access to water and home ownership for Detroit’s residents.\n\nFree bus transportation from Ann Arbor to Detroit via the MDetroit Connector Bus will be provided for this class.

He got into the ring with Roberto \"Hands of Steel\" Duran on national television. (Both ended up at Atlantic City Medical Center\, and Paul reaped a great song\, \"I'd Rather Be a Hammer Than a Nail.\") He's the son of a Pentecostal preacher who rode the tent-revival circuit. He paints. He had his first singing gig at age three. He comes from Tupelo\, Mississippi\, and absorbed the power of gospel music just like another famous native of that town. And he ties it all together in original songs\, masterpieces of gutbucket storytelling country and soul with a fearless confessional streak (and often very funny). Paul’s new album\, Too Blessed To Be Stressed\, stakes out new territory for the popular roots-rock songwriter and performer. “In the past\, I’ve told stories that were mostly inspired by my own life\,” Paul says. “This time\, I’ve written ten songs that express more universal truths\, and I’ve done it with a purpose: to make people feel good.” The title track borrows its tag from a familiar saying among the members of the African American Baptist churches Paul frequented in his childhood. “I’d ask\, ‘How you doin’\, sister?’ And what I’d often hear back was\, ‘I’m too blessed to be stressed.’” Canadian alternative country and folk band The Brothers Landreth\, whose debut release just won the Juno award for Best Roots Album of the year\, are tonight's openers.

Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries” \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?

Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:29456-3120365@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T112505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160311T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160311T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Tech Scoop: Windows Ease of Access DESCRIPTION:Technology is suppose to make life easier\, right?

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.

Researchers have previously observed that the /s/-/ʃ/ category boundary of English-speaking listeners tends to vary depending upon what gender they believe the speaker to be (Strand & Johnson 1996)\, and\, furthermore\, that this expectation tends to be of social origin (Munson 2011). Self-perceived power has also been observed to influence how individuals use information linked with a social category (e.g. Keltner et al. 2003): high-power individuals will tend to rely more significantly on information associated with a social category (even to the exclusion of information that contradicts this expectation) (Goodwin et al. 2000). I intend to see how these two phenomena interact – in cases where one assigns a social category to another individual and a linguistic variable is associated with this category\, will high-power individuals rely more heavily than low-power individuals on their expectation of the variable's production in perceiving the linguistic form?\n\nTo answer this question\, I will randomly assign participants to a high or low power group\, and they will be primed for power-level (priming technique drawn from Galinsky et al. 2006). The participants will then complete a matched guise identification task. They will see a male or female picture and will listen to a continuum of KLAAT generated sibilants spliced with the vowel [ɑɪ] (taken from naturalistic speech) to produce words ambiguous between “shy” and “sigh”\; the gender of the speaker will match that of the picture. The participant's primary task will be to identify whether the word they heard was “sigh” or “shy”. Afterwards\, they will complete short non-linguistic behavioral task to confirm the effectiveness of the power prime.\n\nFor my presentation\, I will review relevant literature\, discuss methodology\, and present experimental stimuli. I welcome any and all advice.

Given the proposed timing of Transfer\, this approach still allows a lower phase to be accessible to a higher phase. I argue that full phase Transfer can be derived from legibility conditions and third-factor principles. Notorious Transfer timing problems are also solved under this analysis\, with additional welcome empirical consequences. This approach keeps the primary design features of Chomsky’s Transfer theory\, where Transfer is defined as a cyclic operation that applies to narrow-syntactic derivation D-NS and delivers a representational ‘stage’ of D-NS to the two interfaces\, PHON and SEM.\n\nPotential Problems of Phase-Head Complement Transfer:\nSome potential problems of the classical Transfer theory have been noted\, including by Chomsky\, but to my knowledge they have never been aggregated for comprehensive and comparative evaluation as will be done here. First\, there is a conceptual conflict between Chomsky’s (2008) idea that the phase is where uninterpretable features (uFs) are valued and the idea that the edge of a phase is a locus for lexical items with uFs which must be accessible to further operations outside of that phase (Problem [1]). The other noted problem of Transferring only the phase-head complement is that “[this might be] a mere albeit empirically motivated stipulation which is in effect...construction or category specific...” (Obata\, 2010). There seems to be no principled reason why our language faculty should Transfer the complement of the phase-head. Is the distinction between edge and complement of a phase in accordance with computational efficiency or any other third factors (Chomsky\, 2005) or axioms of UG? (Problem [2]). In response to Problem 2\, Chomsky claims that vP and CP can be explanatorily justified as the phases because vP and CP are natural units (phonologically and semantically) at the interfaces. But as Epstein (2007) notes\, it is not vP and CP that are in fact Transferred under Chomsky’s analysis\, so the argument that vP and CP are natural phases due to their PHON and SEM independence does not go through\, and TP and VP\, the phase-head complements which are actually Transferred\, are not semantically independent at the interfaces (Problem [3]). There is also a timing problem between uF-valuation and Transfer. Transfer cannot apply after uFs are syntactically valued\, because such valued uFs will not be distinguishable from inherently\, lexically valued features (in the absence of invoking some diacritic marking and/or a lookback device that is forbidden by the Inclusiveness Condition). But Transfer also cannot happen before uFs are valued as this will cause crash (Chomsky\, 2001) (Problem [4]). Thus it is not clear when Transfer can possibly apply. Chomsky (2004\, 2008) suggests a “simultaneity” approach\, which eliminates intra-phasal “ordering”\, by taking valuation of uFs and Transfer to happen concurrently. However\, this approach has many analytical problems as well\, depriving us of derivational (computationally efficient) explanation (see e.g. Epstein & Seely\, 2002).\n\nTransferring the Full Phase:\nAll of the problems listed above are due to the same mechanism\, namely\, Transfer of the phase-head complement. Therefore\, by assuming (i) full phase Transfer\, Problems 1 through 3 are naturally avoided. (I’ll return to the “Transfer timing” Problem 4). Phasal Transfer could be considered optimal phasal computation\, which can by hypothesis be attributed to a third factor\, as was the introduction of the concept of phase. A possible objection to our proposal is that in a derivation such as (1)\, it appears as if our system will Transfer the entire embedded CP\n \n1) [CP WHO do you [vP you think [CP [TP John [vP saw ]]]]] immediately upon its cyclic completion\, thereby preventing who in the lower phases\, e.g. the embedded Spec CP\, from moving higher. In other words\, full phase Transfer appears to prohibit all successive cyclic movement\, i.e. preventing all escape via the edge. To address this problem\, I propose (ii) Transfer of a full phase as soon as it does not contain uFs. This is an optimal valuation-sensitive operation consonant with SMT “computationally efficient satisfaction of the interfaces”/“primacy of CI”\; (iii) D-NS is able to keep track of two phases and no more (in Chomsky’s system\, the syntax correspondingly “sees” syntactic objects in two ‘adjacent’ phases)\, and the most efficient way should be that if necessary\, the narrow syntax can keep two phases in its ‘visible’ workspace\; and (iv) if uFs are not valued inside a phase as it is cyclically built up\, then the uFs may move upward to merge with a higher phase\, which is the root phase being built at that derivational point. Otherwise the derivation crashes. In (1) when who moves to the Spec of the embedded CP\, the uFs associated with it\, such as the unvalued [-Q] feature\, also move to that position. Crucially\, copies of who are left behind by movement (assuming third factor “no syntactic tampering”) but they do not have unvalued features -- these are carried with the moved copy (see. e.g. Chomsky\, 1995\; Obata & Epstein\, 2011). Note that at most two phases are allowed in the workspace as suggested in (iii)\, so the embedded CP can remain in the workspace when who occupies its Spec. This is desirable since unvalued features still occur on who. The movement of who to the edge of the vP phase in the main clause renders the embedded CP devoid of unvalued features\; This embedded CP is then efficiently Transferred according to our assumption (iii). Thus\, the implementable time to Transfer the full phase without causing crash is as soon as there is no uF inside the phase (finally resolving the “Transfer timing” Problem 4).\n\nSome Empirical Consequences of the Full Phase Transfer Approach:\nIn this approach\, the Spec positions of CP or vP remain as the natural landing positions for wh-movement. These positions are the escape hatches to the higher phase\, given bottom up Merge-by-Merge cyclic derivation\, although intermediate landing sites are not where the wh- phrase’s uFs are valued. This explains why the copies of who are possible and obligatory even in intermediate phase Specs as in sentence (1). Furthermore\, the theory offers an explanation for “criterial freezing” concerning wh-movement (Rizzi\, 2015). For instance\, in the wonder case is (2)\, which book\, bearing a uF [-Q]\, moves to the Spec of a C bearing a [+Q] feature\, where the [- Q] feature is valued\, so which book cannot move further\, due to its immediate Transfer as a member of the embedded CP (iv). Nevertheless\, if which book moves to a CP without [+Q] feature\, it further raises until its uF is valued\, to avoid crash (think case).\n2) a. Bill wonders/*thinks [[which book][-Q] [ __ was published this year]]\nb. Which book[-Q] does Bill *wonder/think [ __ [ __ was published this year]]\nIn addition\, the matrix phase edge (main clause Spec of CP and C) can now be Transferred without any special stipulation. Under standard Transfer theory\, the edge of matrix CP can never be Transferred to the interfaces for semantic and phonological interpretation unless we stipulate a special rule to Transfer the edge of the matrix CP (this could be considered a fifth problem\, i.e. Problem [5] for the previous theory). Finally\, we now predict that movement of an entire phase such as CP is possible. As Obata (2009) notes\, an entire CP phase\, rather than its complement TP\, can move to a higher phase (3a & b). But if it is only the complement of the phase-head that is Transferred\, it is incorrectly predicted that complete CPs cannot move\, since their complement TP is Transferred before the CP as a whole can undergo (internal) Merge.

DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years.

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.

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.

It is made possible by a $1.3 million grant from the A. W. Mellon Foundation. The project allows design theory and practice to inform and be informed by questions of social justice\, social movements and transformative creative arts movements - both past and present.\n\nCommon(s) Sense City brings together designers\, scholars\, humanists and cultural workers to examine the conceptual and lived experience of the public commons and the multidimensional task of theory and design to articulate ideological forces at work in our individual and collective coherence of the city. What is the status of the public commons\, notions of the common good\, and public space in the metropolis? How do we collectively “sense” the city - through our interaction with data\, film\, space\, and physical proximity to fellow humans? What are the governing protocols between the dominant and subordinated classes? Panels on rethinking modernist orthodoxies\, privatizing the commons\, capital and justice\, and political space of media - with an interdisciplinary group of speakers - are designed to foreground discussions on the implications of egalitarianism and the commons from the perspectives of inhabitants in three different contexts: metropolitan Detroit\, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro. We invite capacious thinking that links humanists and designers in the twin task of elaborating egalitarianisms role in the development of the contemporary city. The unfinished projects of modernity\, capitalism\, egalitarianism\, and the civil rights and human rights movements provide a dizzying array of interpretations. The role of the symposium is to clarify the ideological commitments to each of these projects and to catalyze new thinking that is accessible to the polity at large.\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.

This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries” \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?

Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:29456-3120366@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151227T233147 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160312T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160312T130000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Behind the Curtain DESCRIPTION:This program will immerse participants in compelling stories that go behind the scenes of symphonic music.

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.

This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W.

The production materials note that some of them have killed\, while others ‘are simply outsiders\, forsaken by the local government for having upturned the rules.’ . . .Saddest of all is the realization that some of the men have been dumped here simply because they have grown too old\, too slow and too difficult for their families to take care of them any longer. The meaning of the film’s title\, with its twist on traditional marriage vows\, becomes most apparent when one patient scowls his way through a visit from his wife and son\, a scene that quietly sketches in their long-broken family dynamics. Elsewhere\, a man pleads with a family member from behind bars\, ‘I’m not crazy\, get me out of here!’ — a rare expression of hopeful defiance in a place where everyone else seems to have given up.” Justin Chang\, Chief Film Critic\, Variety.\n\nDuring Winter Term 2016\, the U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies will present a series of cutting edge contemporary independent films from China.\n\nPlease note that access to Angell Hall and Auditorium A on Saturday evenings is only through the entrance on the east side of the building--called the Fishbowl--which faces the diag and the Hatcher Graduate Library.

That album was recorded in Boston\, where Rose spends part of her time\, and where she's found strong support from the city's vibrant songwriting community. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice\, the songs of Rose Cousins make you feel as though she sings for you\, about your life. “We develop patterns that keep us from moving forward\,\" Rose says. \"It takes a deep breath and a bucket of courage to face the uncomfortable\, painful things we work so hard to avoid. Reward comes from recognizing the obstacle exists and pushing through fear.\" Rose appears on the Saturday night show at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.
