SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Advancing Understandings of Past Cultural Landscapes with Geospatial Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few decades\, geospatial technologies have cemented themselves as critical tools for analyzing and synthesizing archaeological data. The number of geospatial techniques currently used in archaeology are numerous and wide ranging in their functionality. Within the ever expanding array and seeming accessibility of these technologies\, it is important to ask\, are we using these tools to bring new insights to bear on past social\, economic\, and ideological processes? In this talk\, Dr. Howey explore this question through the context of her ongoing research in the northern Great Lakes region using geospatial technologies to advance nuanced examinations of past socioecological landscapes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series |  Against the Mystery of Kabuki Onnagata: A Labyrinth of Gendering
DESCRIPTION:\"Why are we made to remember Yamada Isuzu (1917-2012) exclusively as a film star? Certainly\, Yamada was an internationally renowned actor featured in films by such directors as Mizoguchi\, Naruse\, and Kurosawa. She also worked\, as an onnagata\, with topnotch kabuki-theater actors. One of the Japanese traditional theater forms\, kabuki is an all-male theater\, and onnagata actors play women's roles in it. Yamada performed alongside mainstream\, male kabuki actors\, and her performance was praised by kabuki-theater critics very highly\, sometimes even described as having 'considerable presence as the leading onnagata.' Why does Yamada's outstanding stage career have to be hidden from our eyes? Behind it is a long-lasting mystery about onnagata.\"\n\nMAKI ISAKA teaches Japanese theater\, premodern literature\, and gender studies at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities. She has published on the the philosophy of premodern Japanese arts\, the “New Theater” movement in modern Japan\, and gender and onnagata on the kabuki stage. She is the author of Secrecy in Japanese Arts: \"Secret Transmission\" as a Mode of Knowledge (Palgrave\, 2005) and Onnagata: A Labyrinth of Gendering in Kabuki Theater (University of Washington Press\, 2016).

SUMMARY:Presentation:GFP Brown Bag
DESCRIPTION:When\, Why\, and How to Talk to Children About Gender: Research-Based Advice for Parents and Teachers\n\nMost children endorse gender stereotypes and prefer same-gender peers well before they enter kindergarten. Importantly\, children’s gender attitudes affect their cognitive\, social\, and emotional development\, often in ways that serve to limit (rather than maximize) their potential. In this talk\, I will summarize findings from psychological science concerning the causes and consequences of children’s gender attitudes\, with the goal of providing concrete recommendations to parents and teachers for how best to address gender issues with preschoolers\, children\, and adolescents. New trends in gender socialization\, including the sexualization of girls and use of single-sex programming and classrooms\, will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Econometrics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe accuracy of particle filters for nonlinear state-space models crucially depends on the proposal distribution that mutates time t − 1 particle values into time t values. In the widely-used bootstrap particle filter this distribution is generated by the state-transition equation. While straightforward to implement\, the practical performance is often poor. We develop a self-tuning particle filter in which the proposal distribution is constructed adaptively through a sequence of Monte Carlo steps. Intuitively\, we start from a measurement error distribution with an inflated variance\, and then gradually reduce the variance to its nominal level in a sequence of steps that we call tempering. We show that the filter generates an unbiased and consistent approximation of the likelihood function. Holding the run time fixed\, our filter is substantially more accurate in two DSGE model applications than the bootstrap particle filter.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations
DESCRIPTION:The wall-to-wall optimal transport problem asks for the design of an incompressible flow between parallel walls that most efficiently transports heat from one wall to the other\, given a prescribed intensity budget. In the energy-constrained case\, with a given kinetic energy budget\, optimal designs are known to be convection rolls in the large energy limit. In the enstrophy-constrained case\, numerical studies performed by P. Hassanzadeh\, G. Chini\, and C. Doering\, and also by A. Souza in his PhD thesis\, indicate a much more complicated flow structure is favorable in the large enstrophy limit. In particular\, these authors observe the presence of recirculation zones near the walls whose existence is left unexplained. After a brief introduction\, we describe in this talk a useful reformulation of the wall-to-wall optimal transport problem inspired by related questions in homogenization theory. This leads to an unexpected connection between the wall-to-wall problem and questions from the study of energy-driven pattern formation in materials science. We illustrate this connection with a few key examples. The result is a new construction for the enstrophy-driven wall-to-wall problem which goes beyond the complexity observed in the numerical studies\, and achieves the optimal rate of transport in the large enstrophy limit up to possible logarithmic corrections. We discuss implications for the problem of finding the best absolute upper limits on the rate of heat transport in turbulent Rayleigh-Bernard convection. This is joint work with C. Doering.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe evaluate three labor market policies (vocational training\, on the job training and firm-worker matching) in a representative sample of urban labor markets in Uganda. The evaluation is based on a four year panel of workers and firms and exploits a randomized control trial and structural model. The reduced form impacts comparing on-the-job and vocational training show that: (i) both forms of training have significant impacts on the extensive margin of finding wage employment (by around 25% relative to the control group)\; (ii) both treatments have significant impacts on hours workers\, hourly wages and total earnings (by at least 30%). Bounds estimates of the productivity impacts suggest both forms of training have positive productivity impacts\, with vocational training having the larger impact on worker productivity.  We verify the impacts on hourly earnings and productivity bounds by implementing a practical skills test to workers in all treatment groups: in line with the earlier evidence\, this shows vocational training to significantly raise practical skills\, both relative to the control group and relative to the workers that were assigned to on-the-job training. We find little evidence that there are informational frictions in these urban labor markets relating to firms not having information on workers willing to work\, or on workers willing to work and being trained. The final part of analysis develops and estimates a structural model of worker job search\, where workers make two endogenous choices: (i) search effort\; (ii) their reservation wage. Using monthly data on labor market histories for workers in our evaluation\, we use the experiment to identify the structural model and shed light on how training impacts these two endogenous outcomes through two mechanisms: (i) worker beliefs over the arrival of job offers\; (ii) the distribution of offered wages. We use these structural estimates to estimate the lifetime benefits of these various training and matching routes into the labor market.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Love\, Friendship\, and Jihad in the Age of Crusades\"
DESCRIPTION:The period of the Crusades in the history of the eastern Mediterranean is usually purveyed by its historians (medieval and modern) as a period of fierce military conflict or cultural exchange. Yet given the intense\, and in some cases unprecedented\, human relationships that formed as a result of these conflicts\, it would seem to form an ideal laboratory for the study of medieval emotions. This talk will probe the advantages and limitations of such a study by examining the concepts of love and friendship as expressed in first-person sources\, particularly those written by Muslim authors\, whose works are not as widely available as those of their Latin Christian counterparts. \n\nPaul M. Cobb is Professor and Department Chair in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations Department at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a social and cultural historian of the pre-modern Islamic world. His areas of interest include the history of memory\, historiography\, Islamic relations with the West\, and travel and exploration. He is\, in particular\, a recognized authority on the history of the medieval Levant and of the Crusades in their Islamic context. He is the author of numerous books and articles\, including  White Banners: Contention in ‘Abbasid Syria\, 750-880 (2001)\; Usama ibn Munqidh: Warrior-Poet of the Age of Crusades (2005)\; and The Book of Contemplation: Islam and the Crusades\, a translation of the “memoirs” and other works of Usama ibn Munqidh (2008). He is also the co-editor (with Wout van Bekkum) of Strategies of Medieval Communal Identity: Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam (2003) and (with Antoine Borrut) of Umayyad Legacies: History and Memory from Syria to Spain (2010). His latest book is The Race for Paradise: An Islamic History of the Crusades (2014). \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FALL 2016 COMMUNICATION & MEDIA SPEAKER SERIES Racializing Redemption: The Content and Characters of White Savior Films
DESCRIPTION:Recent research on the intersection of race and media representations describes a trend of progressive\, even antiracist\, narratives that showcase close inter-racial friendships and camaraderie on the silver screen.  Films in which one character saves or helps another from some unholy or disastrous plight are common in films like Dangerous Minds (1996)\, Amistad (1997)\, The Last Samurai (2003)\, Freedom Writers (2007)\, Gran Torino (2008)\, Avatar (2009)\, The Blind Side (2009)\, The Help (2011)\, 12 Years a Slave (2013)\, Free State of Jones (2016) and the list goes on.  While these films present a stark change from the patently racist and on-screen segregationist history of Hollywood cinema\, these films are neither racially neutral nor without racist meanings.  In specific\, many of these films are what critics call “White Savior Films\"—cinema in which implicit and explicit racial stereotypes are employed to structure the inter-racial interactions where one character labors to redeem another.  In analyzing this genre\, Professor Hughey will provide an framework for understanding both why and how modern cinema naturalizes the supposed cerebral rationality\, work ethic\, and paternalistic morality of select white characters while it normalizes people of color as primordially connected with nature\, spiritually attuned\, carnally driven\, and/or possessive of exotic and magical powers.\n\nMatthew W. Hughey\, PhD is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut where he also serves as Affiliate Faculty in the Africana Studies Institute and the American Studies Program.  Over 2016-2017\, he is a Visiting Scholar with the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race at Columbia University.\n\nHis work focuses on the relationship between racial inequality and collective understandings of race through empirical examinations of (1) white racial identity\; (2) racialized organizations\; (3) mass media\; (4) political engagements\; (5) science and technology\, and\; (6) public advocacy with racism and discrimination.   \n\nProfessor Hughey has published over sixty scholarly articles and seven books\, which include The White Savior Film: Content\, Critics\, and Consumption (Temple University Press\, 2014)\, which received the 2016 Outstanding Publication Award from the Southwest Sociological Association and White Bound: Nationalists\, Antiracists\, and the Shared Meanings of Race (Stanford University Press\, 2012)\, which was co-winner of the Eduardo Bonilla-Silva Outstanding Book Award from the Society for the Study of Social Problems in 2014.  He is also co-editor of 12 Angry Men: True Stories of Being a Black Man in America Today (The New Press\, 2010)\, which received the 2011 Prevention for a Safer Society Award from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency\, and in 2015-16 was reimagined as a theatrical performance for The Billie Holiday Theatre at The Center for Arts & Culture in Brooklyn\, NY.\n\nHe is the recipient of both the 2014 Distinguished Early Career Award from the American Sociological Association’s Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities and the 2016 Mentoring Excellence Award from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction.\n\nProfessor Hughey is a frequent expert witness for legal disputes involving discrimination\, is an active voice in national media (such as NPR\, ABC\, and CNN) and has been a contributing writer to outlets such as The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and The Huffington Post.  He also serves on the editorial boards for Social Problems\, Journal of Contemporary Ethnography\, Ethnic and Racial Studies\, and he is a co-founding Associate Editor of Sociology of Race and Ethnicity—the first race-focused official journal of the American Sociological Association.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Economics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe evaluate three labor market policies (vocational training\, on the job training and firm-worker matching) in a representative sample of urban labor markets in Uganda. The evaluation is based on a four year panel of workers and firms and exploits a randomized control trial and structural model. The reduced form impacts comparing on-the-job and vocational training show that: (i) both forms of training have significant impacts on the extensive margin of finding wage employment (by around 25% relative to the control group)\; (ii) both treatments have significant impacts on hours workers\, hourly wages and total earnings (by at least 30%). Bounds estimates of the productivity impacts suggest both forms of training have positive productivity impacts\, with vocational training having the larger impact on worker productivity.  We verify the impacts on hourly earnings and productivity bounds by implementing a practical skills test to workers in all treatment groups: in line with the earlier evidence\, this shows vocational training to significantly raise practical skills\, both relative to the control group and relative to the workers that were assigned to on-the-job training. We find little evidence that there are informational frictions in these urban labor markets relating to firms not having information on workers willing to work\, or on workers willing to work and being trained. The final part of analysis develops and estimates a structural model of worker job search\, where workers make two endogenous choices: (i) search effort\; (ii) their reservation wage. Using monthly data on labor market histories for workers in our evaluation\, we use the experiment to identify the structural model and shed light on how training impacts these two endogenous outcomes through two mechanisms: (i) worker beliefs over the arrival of job offers\; (ii) the distribution of offered wages. We use these structural estimates to estimate the lifetime benefits of these various training and matching routes into the labor market.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Situating Brecht's Antigone Project
DESCRIPTION:Brecht’s ‘The Antigone of Sophocles’ (1948) was considered a marginal and transitory piece by the artist himself\, a mere experiment and practical testing ground during the brief final period of his 15-year exile (in Switzerland\, from November 1947 to October 1948) before Brecht’s return to Berlin and its cultural scene which was slowly re-emerging from the ruins of World War II and Nazi rule. But contrary to authorial self-perception\, the project - which manifested itself in a few performances in Chur (Switzerland) in early 1948 and the first of Brecht’s ‘model books’ (Antigonemodell 1948\, published in 1949) - is a landmark in Brecht’s work and in 20th-century theatre history as a whole while also making a distinct contribution to the long and diverse reception history of Sophocles’ Antigone. Focusing on select aspects of the project\, this paper attempts to situate the importance of Brecht’s Antigone (the script\, the production as well as the 'model book’) by integrating the disciplinary vistas of Classics\, Theatre Studies and Comparative Literature.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Central Asia in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union
DESCRIPTION:The theme of this Slavic Studies Graduate Colloquium is \"Central Asia in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.\" \n\nOlga Maiorova\, Associate Professor of Russian\n\"Exploring the Russian Self in Oriental Lands: Nineteenth-Century Travels to Central Asia\"\n \nThis talk focuses on the nineteenth-century explorers of Central Asia who shaped Russian public discourse on the Orient. It examines their visions of the exotic Other in the context of Russia’s own shifting national self-perception and offers insights into the ideological constructs underlying Russia’s unfolding imperial project.\n \nChristopher Fort\, Ph. D. Candidate in Slavic Languages and Literatures\n\"Uzbekistan: Dual Mimicry and Archival Research\" \n \nThe Soviet Union encouraged its subjects to perform not only Soviet identities but also national ones\, according to the formula \"national in form\, socialist in content\". I posit that non-Russian litterateurs of the 1930s were under the influence of \"dual mimicry\,\" a concept which I adapt from post-colonial theorist Homi Bhabha's colonial mimicry.  In the particular context of Socialist Realism\, \"dual mimicry\" took on a particular form. While non-Russian authors were instructed to imitate Russian Socialist Realist texts - the first form of mimicry – they were also expected to mercilessly attack their literary predecessors\, producing parody as the second form of mimicry.  Focusing on the first novel\, Mirage (1934)\, of celebrated Uzbek author Abdulla Qahhor (1907-1968)\, I am asking why the novel\, despite its obvious ideological loyalty to the state\, was not declared the first Uzbek Socialist Realist novel. This talk also integrates some new archival findings about Qahhor and notes about work in the Uzbek archives.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact Carolyn Dymond\, dymond@umich.edu or 734-764-5355\, at least 3 days in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jen Cass
DESCRIPTION:Born to unusually hip parents in the suburbs of Detroit\,  singer-songwriter Jen Cass was raised on a healthy mix of folk music\, homegrown vegetables\, spontaneous dancing\, black licorice and Motown. Jen writes beautifully crafted songs that draw comparisons to songwriting legends Bob Dylan\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Indigo Girls\, and Dar Williams\, as well as playwright Eugene O'Neill. In the words of Suzanne Glass of Indie-Music.com\, “Cass’ songs are lyrical gems. She weaves fables with her words that would make Aesop jealous.” Jen has appeared twice at the Kerrville New Folk festival (2010 and 2011) and has played the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. She comes to The Ark for the first time in several years with new music and her new band\, The Lucky Nows.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Bonderman Info Session (Michigan Union)
DESCRIPTION:The Bonderman Fellowship offers graduating LSA seniors $20\,000 to travel the world. They must travel to 6 countries in 2 regions over the course of 8 months and are expected to immerse themselves in independent and enriching explorations. Bonderman Fellows engage with cultures\, people\, and areas of the world with which they are not familiar\, providing them the opportunity to develop entirely new perspectives.\n\nUM is one of only two schools—along with the University of Washington—to offer the Bonderman award. David Bonderman traveled internationally as a Sheldon Fellow after graduating from Harvard Law School in the 1960s\, and that experience shaped the rest of his life. He created the Bonderman Travel Fellowship in 1995 to provide students with a similar opportunity. Fellows make their own travel itineraries and\, because this is meant to be an individual experience\, cannot engage in formal study at a foreign university\, conduct formal research\, or travel with a guest or organized group.\n\nPizza and other refreshments will be served at all Bonderman info sessions.\n\nAfter this 30-minute info session in the Union\, advisors will be available for another 30 minutes to answer questions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series: The Karma of Care: Thinking “Abhidhammically” About Intra- and Inter-Personal Support in Northern Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In many Thai contexts\, reminders to keep a “cool heart” are prevalent. Even in the midst of long-term and end-of-life care\, ideal support is not so much about rich emotional sharing as the abandoning of attachment and the attainment of equanimity in the face of tumult. In this talk\, I interrogate the emotional and affective valence of ordinary caregiving situations in Northern Thailand. To do so\, I look to the Tipitaka – the compendium of sermons\, commentaries\, and technical manuals of the Pali canon – as a guide and theoretical frame. With ethnographic material otherwise vexing to a host of analytic perspectives\, the theory of mind the Theravada philosophical lineage presents proves crucial for understanding contemporary subjectivity at Thai bedsides and beyond.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: \"Roots\, Rootedness\, and Routine\"
DESCRIPTION:How does place make you who you are? This is an implicit concern of Paul Cobb’s book\, Race for Paradise\, a history of the Crusades from the Muslim perspective. This panel examines the ways in which people come to feel anchored and attached to a location\, whether physically\, legally\, or emotionally. It examines metaphorical and literal rootedness and the ways in which routine and practice become identity. Looking specifically at Carolingian Biblical commentaries\, Spanish-colonial urban lawsuits\, and Islamic precolonial oral histories\, the panelists will discuss the relationships between boundaries\, identity\, work\, and belonging in their research. \n\nPanelists include:\n\nNoah Blan (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\nLamin Manneh (PhD Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nAna María Silva (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\nPaul M. Cobb (commentator\; Professor and Department Chair\, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations\, University of Pennsylvania)\nKatherine French (chair\; J. Frederick Hoffman Professor of History\, University of Michigan)\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided. \n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.\n\nImage: Roots (Tim Green\, CC BY 2.0).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Ian Bekker will speak on \"The colour of liquid: /l/ in South African English.\"\n\nAbstract\nThe impressionistic literature on South African English (SAfE) displays disagreement with respect to the phonetic quality of /l/ in this dialect\, or\, more particularly\, in relation to the quality of the allophones of this phoneme in onset and coda position. Lass (1990\; 1995\; 2004)\, in particular\, makes the claim that SAfE displays a typically ‘Southern’ clear-dark /l/ allophony\, with neutral to palatalized (i.e. generally clear) /l/ in onset position\, but dark /l/ (anything from velarised to pharyngealized) in coda position. This position has become the standard one\, echoed\, for example\, in Bowerman (2004).\n\nThis is\, however\, in contrast to almost all previous pronouncements on the matter. Thus Lanham (1967: 65\; 98) concludes that /l/ in SAfE is clear in all positions\, with Wells (1982: 617) agreeing i.e. that “South African English is not really dark in any environment” but always clear or neutral. Even the recent Trudgill (2004: 79) adopts the same position.\n\nThe research on which this paper is based attempts to clarify the above-mentioned discrepancy i.e. to determine what the status of SAfE /l/ is on the basis of a large sample of recordings as well as modern acoustic phonetic techniques\; but also to discover what the source of the discrepancy might be (barring simple error). In this regard\, it investigates the possibility that SAfE might have undergone sound change with respect to /l/. It does this by drawing on a sample of 44 GenSAfE speakers from Cape Town\, ranging from 18 to 60 years of age\, almost evenly split for gender. Each participant was recorded taking part in a sociolinguistic interview\, subsequently prepared for analysis using the Forced Alignment and Vowel Extraction suite (Rosenfelder\, Fruehwald\, Evanini & Yuan 2011).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Energy & Environmental Economics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nRecently\, a series of natural gas price shocks in New England\, which affected electricity generation costs of firms heterogeneously\, led to a spike in electricity prices. I study the pass-through implications of the change in the competition between firms resulting from this gas price shock\, focusing on the heterogeneous impacts of the shock. I use New England electricity auction bidding data and utilize the multi-unit uniform auction model to estimate gas prices implied by firms’ bids\, which allows me to identify the impacts of the shock on the costs of each firm. To understand how differences in impacts affected the competition\, I obtain firm-specific markups and relate them to costs. I find that firms less affected by the shock increase markups more than \"hard-hit\" firms\, and this difference in adjustment increases in the size of the gas price shock. To explore how such heterogeneous incentives for markup adjustment are reflected in price\, I then simulate the pass-through rates at the auction level. Although I find that firms completely passed on the cost shocks to prices on average\, considerable variation exists in the rates depending on which type of firm sets the price in the auction. Therefore\, any estimation of the pass-through rate that fails to incorporate heterogeneity of the underlying rates could yield estimates that are significantly biased downward. I illustrate this by comparing the simulated rates to the estimated ones from the reduced form.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the task of proving bounds on average quantities in dissipative dynamical systems\, including time averages in finite-dimensional systems and spatiotemporal averages in PDE systems. In the finite-dimensional case\, I will describe computer-assisted methods where bounds are proven by constructing nonnegative polynomials with certain properties\, similarly to the way nonlinear stability can be proven by constructing Lyapunov functions. Nonnegativity of polynomials is enforced by requiring them to be representable as sums of squares\, a condition that can be checked using the convex optimization technique of semidefinite programming. Rigorous bounds are obtained by supplementing numerical computations with either interval arithmetic or symbolic computation. These methods are illustrated using the Lorenz equations\, where they produce novel bounds on various average quantities. In the PDE case\, I will describe bounds for fluid dynamical models proven using pencil-and-paper analysis. Differences from the finite-dimensional case will be discussed\, as well as the possibility of improving results for PDEs using computer-assisted methods like those described for the finite-dimensional case.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Particle-Vortex Duality and Topological Quantum Matter
DESCRIPTION:The past summer has seen an intense flurry of activity around the topic low-energy dualities that has uncovered a veritable web of 3-dimensional dualities relating a number of non-supersymmetric bosonic and fermionic theories. Moreover\, these dualities find a very satisfying and direct “real-world” application to the physics of topological quantum matter. In this talk\, I will give a more-or-less pedagogical introduction to the subject of low energy dualities and review some of the more recent developments in the field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special CM-AMO Seminar | Electronic and Surface Structure of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides and Van der Waals Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:**Please note this seminar time is 3:00 pm and it is taking place in 340 West Hall.**\nTransition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted much interest for their potential applications in opto-electronic\, spintronics and valleytronics devices. Direct determination of the electronic- and surface structure of TMDCs is crucial to the full understanding of their distinctive properties. In particular\, like other atomically thin materials\, the interactions with substrate impact the surface structure and morphology of TMDCs\, and as a result\, their structural and physical properties can be affected. Here\, in this talk\, I will discuss the electronic structure and surface structure of MoS2 investigated using synchrotron-based spectroscopic photoemission and low energy electron microscopy. Thickness-dependent electronic structure of MoS2 measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy directly demonstrates the indirect-to-direct bandgap transition when MoS2 thickness is decreased from multilayer to monolayer. Also\, the thickness-dependent surface roughness is characterized using selected-area low energy electron diffraction (μ-LEED) and the surface structural relaxation is investigated using LEED I-V measurements combined with dynamical LEED calculations. Finally\, bandgap engineering is demonstrated via tuning of the interlayer interactions in van der Waals interfaces by twisting the relative orientation in bilayer-MoS2 and graphene-MoS2-heterostructure systems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | The Making of the \"Comilla Model\": Experiments in Rural Development in East Pakistan\, 1959-1971
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present preliminary research and thoughts from Professor Ali's next project: an examination of the social and political history of a much-celebrated development program conducted in Comilla district\, East Pakistan during the 1960s. In 1959\, the Pakistani government acceded to the request of the director of the Pakistan Academy of Rural Development to designate the rural areas around Comilla town a “laboratory\,” where “experiments” with various ideas of development and modernization would be conducted. In particular the talk will examine how this rural modernization program conceived Islam both as a barrier and a resource to the aspirations of development. Also discussed will be the methodological challenges of working with the development archive\, especially\, of reading the development archive against the grain to recover subaltern voices.\n\nTariq Ali is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. He teaches courses on South Asian history and on the history of global capital. His first book project\, under contract with Princeton University Press and currently awaiting readers reports\, is titled: A Local History of Global Capital: Jute and Economic Life in the Bengal Delta\, 1850s to the 1950s. The book argues that the cultivation and trade of jute connected the Bengal peasantry to the flows and vicissitudes of global flows of capital and commodities and examines the ways in which these market entanglements transformed peasant households’ material lives\, religious and social thought\, and political action.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:The Graduate Committee will host a discussion about the academic job market\, with a focus on the job application process. Since we are doing a faculty search in our Department this year\, this is an ideal opportunity to talk about academic job applications. And since we don't often get to do a search too in our Department\, this may well be the only time during your career as graduate student that you will get the opportunity to experience and learn from a search first hand.\n\nOur discussion will be led by Jon Brennan. Jon is the ideal person to lead this discussion. Not only is he a member of the Search Committee for our current job search\, but he was only very recently still on the job market himself.

SUMMARY:Other:Steering Asymmetric Catalysis with Metal-Centered Chirality
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will give an overview of recent contributions from the laboratory of the author to design novel asymmetric catalysts based on exploiting octahedral metal-centered stereochemistry. 1.) Metal-templated asymmetric \"organocatalysts\": The central transition metal solely serves as a structural anchor\, while catalysis is mediated through the organic ligand sphere (e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016\, 138\, 8774). 2.) Chiral Lewis acid catalysis with chiral-at-metal complexes: The metal fulfills a dual function by coordinatively activating a substrate and at the same time serving as the exclusive source of chirality (e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014\, 136\, 2990). 3.) Asymmetric photoredox catalysis with chiral-at-metal complexes: Iridium (e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015\, 137\, 9551) and rhodium (e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016\, 138\, 6936) catalyzed reactions have been developed in which chiral Lewis acid catalysis cooperates with visible-light-activated redox chemistry.\n\nEric Meggers (University of Marburg\, Germany)

SUMMARY:Film Screening:LRCCS Film Series | \"Night Scene\"
DESCRIPTION:Night Scene 《夜景》 (dir. Cui Zi’en\, 75 min.\, 2004)\nCui Zi’en’s \"Night Scene\" takes on one of the biggest taboos in contemporary China: male street prostitution. The gripping story follows a boy who discovers his father’s homosexuality\, and in the process discovers his own. Night Scene is a unique portrait of a twilight world in parks and clubs that veers between documentary and fiction. Cui mixed real gigolos with actors\, while making no strict distinction between homosexuals and prostitutes. It is an ambiguous\, layered film\, just as boundless as the lives of male prostitutes in China.\n\nAbout the Director\n\nCui Zi’en (崔子恩) is from Harbin and is now living in Florida. He is a director\, film scholar\, screenwriter\, novelist and an pioneering queer activist. He graduated from the Chinese Academy of Social Science and now is an Associate Professor at the Beijing Film Academy. The author of books on criticism and theory\, Cui Zi’en has also published nine novels in China and Hong Kong\, including the first gay novel in modern Chinese literature. He founded the Beijing Queer Film Festival\, the first LGBT film festival in 2001. He directed his first film\, Men and Women in 1999 and has since written and/or directed over 20 more. Forging an queer video activism\, Cui’s work circulates freely between fiction and documentary\, the conventional and the avant-garde. His best known films are Enter the Clowns (2002)\, The Old Testament (2002)\, Night Scene (2003)\, and Queer China\, “Comrade” China (2008).\n\nSee the full schedule of upcoming films: https://events.umich.edu/group/LRCCS?filter=tags%3AFilm+Series\,

SUMMARY:Performance:Screening/Q&A: Composed
DESCRIPTION:Through the lens of professional classical musicians\, Composed explores the many ways we experience and can address performance anxiety. Faced with the judgment of peers\, audience\, conductors\, and worst of all themselves\, these musicians spend years trying to understand and overcome the physical and mental manifestations of their anxiety. Through their stories\, we learn valuable lessons learned over a lifetime of professional performance\; and we find that we are not alone in our quest to overcome the fear of failure and embarrassment. For anyone wanting to feel strength over fear and compassion over judgment\, or simply seeking a closer look at anxiety and what makes us tick\, Composed opens the door to a world of high stakes\, high pressure\, and peak performing.\n\nFollowing the screening a Q&A will be held with the film’s director John Beder\, Julie Nagel (psychoanalyst\, psychologist\, pianist\, and author of \"Melodies of the Mind\")\, Louis Nagel (pianist and Emeritus Professor of Piano and Piano Literature)\, and Emily Hyssong (CAPS Counsellor).

SUMMARY:Performance:Enter the Haggis
DESCRIPTION:A haggis is a tasty Scottish dish consisting of sheep heart\, liver\, and lungs\, mixed with oatmeal\, onion\, suet\, and spices\, and then boiled inside the sheep's stomach. The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with a 20th-anniversary album that showcases the fabulous variety of their music.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics | Capitalizing on Diversity: Planet Formation Boundary Conditions on the Origins of Life
DESCRIPTION:Planets form within circumstellar disks which are an inevitable outcome of the process of star formation. We know a great deal about the structure\, composition\, and evolution of these circumstellar disks\, which set the initial conditions of formation and define the environment of their early evolution. While traditional planet formation theories generally fail when confronted with the observations\, new ideas are suggesting a way forward.  What is certain is that the complex interplay between the dynamics of these disks and chemical processes plays a critical role in dictating the composition of forming planets. There is plenty of room for \"fine tuning\" but the great diversity in observed planetary system architectures could represent an expected filling if the available phase space.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jeffrey Foucault
DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin's Jeffrey Foucault writes sparse small-town ballads and love songs whose lyrics are great poems in themselves. \"Townes Van Zandt\, Greg Brown\, and Kelly Joe Phelps fans should give Foucault a listen\,\" says the Pasadena Weekly. The country rockers and dark blues songs of this Midwestern original are truly haunting things. Jeffrey has grown tremendously as a songwriter over the ten albums he has realeased\, and by now he's gaining raves from the likes of supercritic Greil Marcus\, who describes Jeffrey's music this way: \"An acoustic guitar figure comes up against drums buried far away\, like a memory. The story creeps out\, and stops well short of its end\, though you can glimpse it. Foucault drifts over the words so lightly that they seem to fade as they’re sung\, and you might stop trying to hear them as words\, let them come as sounds.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Perspective on Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Justice Richard Bernstein became the first blind justice\, elected by voters statewide\, to the Michigan Supreme Court in November 2014. With a commitment to justice and fairness\, Bernstein began his 8-year term in January 2015.\n\nPrior to being elected to Michigan’s highest court\, Justice Bernstein was known as a tireless advocate for disabled rights as an attorney heading the public service division for The Sam Bernstein Law Firm in Farmington Hills\, Michigan. Blind since birth\, Justice Bernstein is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Michigan and earned his juris doctorate from Northwestern University School of Law.\n\nWe are inviting Justice Bernstein as part of the University’s Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion initiative. At Hillel\, we strive to make people of all abilities feel welcomed and included. We were inspired by Justice Bernstein’s commitment to his state and the law and the messages he shares on inclusion and overcoming adversity as a blind individual.

She's one of those people who exudes a spirituality that's all her own\, and she has to be seen in concert to be truly appreciated.

Recently Carrie traveled to India and performed as a U.S. cultural ambassador\, and local religion journalist David Crumm\, writing on the ReadTheSpirit website\, recently named her to his list of \"10 Spiritual Sages to Watch.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Humanist in the World of Genomics: Privacy\, Big Data\, and Science Policy
DESCRIPTION:How can humanists successfully compete for NIH and NSF funding? What roles can the humanities play in the public sphere? How can we influence public policy around a host of issues ranging from genomics\, neuroscience\, and medicine to the environment\, economic inequality\, racial disparities\, digital media\, and big data? Drawing on his experience as a Co-PI and researcher on two collaborative NIH grants totaling more than $4-million\, as director of a center focused on the role of the arts in shaping public policy\, and as a participant in projects with the Institute of Medicine\, Personal Genome Project\, Broad Institute\, and several Medical schools\, Jay Clayton will outline answers that have worked at his institution and other universities.\n\nJay Clayton is author or editor of seven books and more than 35 articles and chapters\, and he has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and elsewhere. His published scholarship has ranged from Romantic poetry and the Victorian novel to contemporary American literature\, film and digital media\, science and literature\, and medicine\, health\, and society. His book\, Charles Dickens in Cyberspace: The Afterlife of the Nineteenth Century in Postmodern Culture\, focused on the depiction of computers\, information technology\, and cyborgs from the Victorian era to the twenty-first century. This study won the Suzanne M. Glasscock Humanities Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship.  His recent work has concentrated on the ethical\, social\, and cultural issues raised by genomics.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nBounded rationality and finite processing capacity make it understandable that homo sapiens focuses attention first on the here and now.  But many individual and social problems require increased attention to future costs and benefits\, with climate change as the most urgent challenge for decisions that fully and justly weigh the  immediate and certain costs and benefits of business-as-usual or greenhouse gas mitigation efforts against their delayed\, risky\, and often disputed costs and benefits. Psychological theories from prospect theory to hyperbolic discounting and query theory predict that future costs of business-as-usual and future benefits of GHG mitigation efforts will get short thrift. I present three interventions that focus greater attention on future consequences and thus provide entry points for choices that better balance short-term and long-term goals and objectives.  (1) In tradeoffs between immediate and delayed consumption\, discounting of future consequences is reduced when choice options with future benefits are made the default and when decision makers are otherwise prompted to consider arguments for such choices first (Weber et al.\, 2007).  (2) Individual and country-level data show that citizens may use perceptions of their country’s age to predict its future continuation\, with longer pasts predicting longer futures\, and longer futures justifying greater investments into sustainability. Thus framing a country as a long-standing entity can promote pro-environmental behavior (Hershfield\, Bang\, & Weber\, 2014). (3) Finally\, individuals’ motivation to leave a positive legacy can be leveraged to increase engagement with climate change and other environmental problems (Zaval\, Markowitz & Weber\, 2015).

SUMMARY:Other:Biosynthesis of a novel nucleoside: are two cofactors better than one?
DESCRIPTION:The natural product oxetanocin is a potent antiviral compound produced by Bacillus megaterium NK84-0128. The biosynthesis of oxetanocin has been linked to a plasmid-borne gene cluster that contains four genes involved in oxetanocin production (oxsA and oxsB) and oxetanocin resistance (oxrA and oxrB). In collaboration with the Liu Lab at the University of Texas\, Austin\, we now present detailed structural and biochemical analysis that confirms the involvement of the cobalamin (Cbl) dependent S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) radical enzyme\, OxsB\, and an HD-domain phosphohydrolase enzyme\, OxsA\, in oxetanocin production. These studies of OxsB provide a framework for understanding the coordination and interplay of AdoMet and Cbl cofactors in performing Nature’s chemistry. Additional X-ray crystal structures of the oxetanocin production partner protein\, OxsA\, reveal a phosphohydrolase enzyme with a restructured active site specific for a phosphorylated oxetanocin derivative. Our crystallographic endeavors and sequence-based comparisons have allowed for elucidation of a biochemical scheme for the challenging production of oxetanocin\, expanded the catalytic repertoire of the HD-domain phosphohydrolase enzyme superfamily\, and provided the first structural characterization of a Cbl-dependent AdoMet radical enzyme.\nJennifer Bridwell-Rabb (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Special Seminar: Elucidating ecological complexity with multilayer networks
DESCRIPTION:The vast complexity of ecological systems has long challenged the ability of ecologists to understand and predict ecosystem behavior. Fortunately\, the emerging field of network science including ecological networks is providing evermore powerful tools to meet these challenges. Such tools\, including insights into ‘multilayer’ networks comprised of different types of interactions\, help rigorously synthesize more traditional ecological theories and massive amounts of data describing the great diversity of species and interactions encompassing ecological systems.  My work pushes this frontier forward in order to better explain and predict the structure and dynamics of ecological systems\, especially their responses to anthropogenic change. I do this by 1) integrating different types of interactions among species into ecological networks\, 2) scaling up key mechanisms at lower scales concerning organisms and populations to larger scales concerning communities and ecosystems\, and 3) testing theory resulting from 1) and 2) against empirical data.  This strategy has enabled me to develop a novel consumer-resource approach to plant-pollinator networks that integrates two types of interactions essential to the dynamics of those complex systems\; feeding relationships and reproductive services. My approach incorporates key mechanisms such as the adaptive foraging of pollinators within plant communities\, the dynamic production and depletion of floral rewards\, and the dilution of conspecific pollen by heterospecific pollen. My results suggest that these mechanisms stabilize plant-pollinator communities and resolve a prominent debate about how network architecture affects the dynamics of mutualistic systems.  We tested a central prediction emerging from this theory and found it to be strongly corroborated by intensive field observations of bee foraging within an alpine plant community. My current research on mechanistic approaches to multilayer networks integrates additional types of interactions involving life-history\, evolution\, and even economics. Such work continues the tradition of ecological network scientists learning from\, and substantially contributing to\, exciting frontiers of complexity research spanning natural\, social\, and technological sciences.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:Originally introduced by Eisenbud in the context of commutative algebra\, matrix factorizations have since earned a prominent role in mathematical physics as the \"D-branes of type B\" in a Landau-Ginzburg model. In this spirit\, Orlov proved that a certain category of matrix factorizations over affine space is equivalent to the derived category of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface. \n\nIn this talk I will describe preliminary work using matrix factorizations to give a new description of the virtual class in Gromov-Witten theory\, FJRW theory\, and so-called hybrid theories. We hope that this construction will help clarify the relationship between the virtual classes in these various theories.\n Speaker(s): Mark Shoemaker (Colorado State)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | The Continuing Story of Two-Photon Exchange: Results from the OLYMPUS Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two decades\, a discrepancy has emerged between two different techniques for measuring the proton’s electromagnetic form factors. Unpolarized electron-proton cross section measurements paint a picture of the proton’s internal structure that is incompatible with measurements from polarization transfer experiments. The leading hypothesis is that the discrepancy is caused by a typically neglected radiative correction\, hard two-photon exchange (TPE)\, which would affect the two measurement techniques in different ways. There is no model independent way to calculate hard TPE\, but it can be measured experimentally by looking for an asymmetry between the positron-proton and electron-proton elastic cross sections. Three recent experiments have attempted to quantify this asymmetry\, and\, just last month\, the third of these\, called OLYMPUS\, released its results (arXiv:1611.04685). The OLYMPUS experiment collected data in 2012 at DESY\, alternating between 2 GeV electron and positron beams\, directed through a hydrogen gas target. The scattered lepton and recoiling proton were detected in coincidence with a large acceptance toroidal spectrometer. The relative luminosity between the two beam species was monitored with three independent systems\, and the results comprise 3 inverse fb of integrated luminosity\, exceeding by a factor of three the other two TPE experiments combined. In this talk\, the case for the TPE hypothesis will be presented\, the OLYMPUS experiment will be described\, and the results of all three experiments will be compared.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker: Toward Anti-Ontology: The Unmaking of Chronic Pain in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I examine a Thai physician’s claim that “there is no chronic pain in Thailand\,” and that “chronic pain is a Western invention.”  Recent work in ontology has argued that diseases and disease categories are “enacted\,” made iteratively by practices in context.  In this talk\, I will attempt an explanation of the opposite phenomenon: the active “unmaking” of (potential) disease\, both as epistemological category and lived experience.  I take my Thai physician’s claim in a slightly less positivist direction\, and rather than argue that “there is no chronic pain in Thailand\,” I will argue that chronic pain is instead actively “un-made” in Thailand.  I will share how this process works: that it is unequal\, tied to a class politics of suffering\; that it is material\, tied to the hospital as an organizing place\; that it is spiritual\, based on a Buddhist model of the human mind and how to intervene upon it\; that it is political\, emerging from the violent history of opium\; and that it is ultimately unstable\, as cracks slowly begin to form in the structures that keep chronic pain from becoming a “thing” in Thailand.  To make these claims\, I will share the stories of a series of Thai elders\, some in the process of dying\, others enduring chronic suffering\, all caught in a web of the making and unmaking of pain.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:Given a sextic CM field K\, we can ask whether there are any simple\, principally polarized abelian varieties that have complex multiplication by the ring of integers of K. Furthermore\, since such an abelian variety is isomorphic to the Jacobian of a curve of genus 3\, we can ask if the curve is hyperelliptic or a plane quartic.\n\nIn this talk we describe how to\, starting with the period matrix of a Jacobian that has strict CM by a sextic CM field K\, determine if the Jacobian is hyperelliptic\, and if so\, how to compute a model for the curve. We will also touch briefly on how to compute the period matrices if time allows.\n\nThis is joint work with J. Balakrishnan\, S. Ionica and K. Lauter.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM - AMO Graduate Student Seminars | A Review of Field Theory in Fermionic Systems and the Rise of Non-Linear Sigma Model
DESCRIPTION:I will continue the talk from last week and review what are metals and insulators for free fermion systems. By applying the linear response theory to both systems we can calculate experimentally measurable quantities\, among which are d.c. conductivity for metals and quantized Hall conductivity for insulators. Then starting with Anderson orthogonality catastrophe (AOC)\, I will talk about the differences and relations between free and interacting Fermionic systems. At last\, I will apply mean field theory to Landau Fermi-liquid theory with perfect nesting and show that spin density wave (SDW) state arises. The fluctuation of such a state could be described by non-linear sigma model.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Museum Studies Program Presents: \"Inclusion Requires Fracturing\"
DESCRIPTION:As museums strive to serve broad\, ever-diversifying publics\, it is no longer possible to deny the ways museums mirror and reinforce racial\, cultural\, and class inequities of the broader society. Skillful racial and cultural representation in interpretation and programming is not only an intellectual exercise\; it is an ethical responsibility that requires fracturing the known through consistent individual and institutional self-reflection and action. This talk focuses on the challenging and often painful internal work toward developing diversity and strategies and actions supporting systemic change in museum representation\, interpretation\, and ideation.\nSwarupa Anila is director of interpretive engagement at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Key issues she pursues in interpretive planning practice include examining whose voices and perspectives are missing in museum interpretation\, how to integrate visitor voices to flatten museum and art historical knowledge hierarchies\, and how to design museum interpretation that supports dynamic\, meaningful visitor engagements with art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Great Lakes Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Great Lakes Seminar Series presentation:\nPresenter: Silvia Newell\, Assistant Professor\, Wright State University\nTitle: Nitrogen cycling in eutrophic systems: Case studies in Lakes Erie and Taihu\n\nTo participate remotely via webinar\, please register at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1637315028733554436.\n\nAbstract: Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Lake Taihu and western Lake Erie are driven largely by agricultural nitrogen (N) and phosphorus. Cyanobacterial community dominance and HAB development may depend on ammonium (NH4+) availability\, and increased NH4+ has been linked to increased toxin production. Microcystis\, the dominant toxic cyanobacterial genus in both lakes\, cannot fix atmospheric N2\; consequently\, it must compete for NH4+ with other primary producers. Understanding the factors that govern N cycling and NH4+ availability is therefore crucial for identifying conditions that stimulate and maintain HABs.\n\nBio: Silvia Newell is an Assistant Professor at Wright State University in Dayton\, OH. She has a Ph.D. in Geosciences from Princeton University.  Her dissertation focused on biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen in low-oxygen marine environments in Chesapeake Bay and the Arabian Sea.  For her post-doctoral work\, first at Princeton and then at Boston University\, she continued her exploration of the nitrogen cycle in the Sargasso Sea\, the Gulf of Mexico\, and Cape Cod.  Currently\, her work at Wright State focuses on hypereutrophic Lake Erie\, Lake Okeechobee\, and Lake Taihu in China\, as well as local research on the Great Miami River and small lakes.\n\nImportant Visitor Information\nAll in-person seminar attendees are required to receive a visitor badge from the front desk at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory facility. Seminar attendees need to present a valid U.S. photo ID or green card. If you are a Foreign National\, advance notification of at least 48 hours is needed so that security guidelines are followed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography & Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe expansion of Medicaid under the ACA has extended health insurance to millions of previously uninsured low income adults. This paper analyzes the effect of this expansion of insurance on medical treatment received in the emergency department. It uses State Emergency Department Database (SEDD) discharge data from 2013 to 2014 to estimate the effect of the change in insurance on duration of stay\, number of procedures performed\, number of diagnoses recorded\, and the average charge per procedure for all and subgroups of patients in the emergency department. Using a difference-in-differences model\, we compare the outcome variables in expanding states to those in non-expanding states. We find that the changes in treatment are not limited to those with newly acquired Medicaid coverage. Duration of stay declines up to 49 minutes for the young and the elderly\, while it increases by up to 8 minutes for the working age adults. The number of procedures increases for all patients in expanding states by up to 0.33 procedures\, for young\, working age adults\, and elderly. The number of diagnoses\, meanwhile\, declines between .05 to 0.27 diagnoses for all groups. The estimates are robust to specification and propensity matching of patients in expanding and non-expanding states. These results suggest that health insurance expansion is likely to result in increase in intensity of treatment in the emergency room for all patients\, irrespective of insurance status. With the average charge for procedure at $721 in our data\, the increase in the number of procedures for Medicaid the three states our analysis corresponds to additional $227 million in charges\, which constitutes 7.3% of the total increase in Medicaid expenditure in these states between 2013 and 2014. These estimates suggest that the costs associated with expanding insurance coverage should include those associated with changes in treatment of patients. These costs are not limited to Medicaid\, as they extend to patients with private insurance\, Medicare\, and self-paying patients.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | China's Security Concerns: The Enduring Link Between External and Internal Challenges
DESCRIPTION:The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is today more secure against foreign military attack than at any time since 1949.  Yet its leaders have grown increasingly concerned about internal security challenges and their possible links to external threats. This concern about linked internal and external security challenges is not new.  But over the past seven decades the perceived connections have evolved along with China’s grand strategy.  \n\nAvery Goldstein is David M. Knott Professor of Global Politics and International Relations\, Director of Center for the Study of Contemporary China\, and Associate Director of the Christopher H. Browne Center for International Politics at the University of Pennsylvania.  Goldstein’s research focuses on international relations\, security studies\, and Chinese politics. His books include \"Rising to the Challenge: China’s Grand Strategy and International Security\" (2005) and \"The Nexus of Economics\, Security\, and International Relations in East Asia\" (2012\, co-edited with Edward D. Mansfield). His articles have appeared in International Security\, Foreign Affairs\, International Organization\, the Journal of Strategic Studies\, China Quarterly\, Asian Survey\, Comparative Politics\, Orbis\, Security Studies\, and other journals.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:It is a classical result that the spectrum of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition on a compact Riemannian manifold forms a sequence going to positive infinity\, and the asymptotic growth rate is determined by the volume and dimension of the manifold. This asyptotic growth rate is known as Weyl's Law. Historically\, this motivated Kac to ask the question \"Can one hear the shape of a drum?\" In general\, we can ask what geometric properties of a manifold are determined by the spectrum of its Laplacian.\n\nI plan to give an introduction to Weyl's law for compact manifolds and then show how it also holds for singular\, projective\, complex algebraic varieties.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Temperature-like Variables in Granular Materials
DESCRIPTION:Statistical mechanics has provided a powerful tool for understanding the thermodynamics of materials. Because granular materials exhibit reproducible statistical distributions which depend in simple ways on macroscopic parameters such as volume and pressure\, it is tempting to create a statistical mechanics of athermal materials. I will describe a suite of experiments on two-dimensional granular materials which investigate to what extent these ideas are meaningful. For example\, under agitated conditions\, we measure both bulk and particle-scale dynamics\, and find a number of thermal-like behaviors including diffusive dynamics\, a granular Boyle’s Law with a van der Waals-like equation of state\, and energy equipartition for rotational and translational degrees of freedom. However\, the scarcity of free volume within a granular material provides a crucial control on the dynamics\, and each of the above thermal-like behaviors is accompanied by interesting caveats. In an apparatus designed to generate a large number of static configurations\, we test whether or not various temperature-like variables are able to equilibrate between a subsystem and a bath. We find that while a volume-based temperature known as “compactivity” fails to equilibrate\, a stress-based temperature succeeds in satisfying the zeroth law. However\, we also identify history-dependent effects which point to the importance of frictional forces in controlling the mechanics of granular materials.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queering Families: The Postmodern Partnerships of Cisgender Women and Transgender Men
DESCRIPTION:Ozzie and Harriet\, move over. A new couple is moving into the neighborhood. In the postmodern era\, advances in medical technologies allow some individuals categorized female at birth to live in accordance with their gender identities\, as men. While a growing body of literature on transgender men's experiences has come to the forefront\, relatively little exists to document the experiences of their partners. In Queering Families: The Postmodern Partnerships of Cisgender Women and Transgender Men\, Carla A. Pfeffer brings these experiences to light through interviews with the group most likely to partner and form families with transgender men: non-transgender (cisgender) women. \n\nDrawing upon in-depth interviews with fifty cisgender women partners of transgender men from across the United States and Canada\, Pfeffer details the experiences of a community that often seems unremarkable and ordinary on its surface. Cisgender women who partner with transgender men who are socially \"read\" as male are often (mis)perceived as part of a heterosexual couple or family. Yet not all cisgender women who partner with transgender men are comfortable with this invisible existence and comfortable normativity. Instead\, many of the cisgender women Pfeffer interviews hold deeply-valued queer identities that may be erased in their partnerships with transgender men. In this talk\, Pfeffer will detail the struggles and strengths of these postmodern \"Harriets\" as they work to build identities\, partnerships\, families\, and communities.\n\nCarla A. Pfeffer completed her doctoral work at the University of Michigan. She currently holds a joint appointment in Sociology and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of South Carolina. Her research\, employing qualitative and mixed-methods approaches\, considers thorny intersections between social stigma\, identity\, resistance\, and structure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this talk is to introduce how to use some fine techniques in algebraic geometry to obtain concrete combinatorial results. I will assume almost no background.\n\nRoughly\, \"arithmetic statistics\" refers to problems of counting a massive amount of arithmetic objects. For example\, consider the smooth affine plane curves of the form y^2 = f(x) with deg(f) = d over a finite field of p elements. A natural question to ask is: what is the probability of a degree d random curve to have many (i.e.\, 2p) points? An explicit answer to this question is known when d goes to infinity\, but one may ask what happens when d is some large finite integer.\n\nIn this talk\, I will explain how to approach such a question using explicit Betti numbers of manifolds called \"configuration spaces\". The connection of point-counting and Betti numbers can be established by a machine called \"\'etale cohomology\"\, especially via Grothedieck trace formula\, an analog of Lefschetz fixed point theorem in algebraic topology. In particular\, I will sketch how the convergence in d of the distribution of points on curves of the form y^2 = f(x) is a consequence of homological stability. Speaker(s): GilYoung Cheong (UM)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MICHIGAN-MELLON COLLOQUIA: CONVERSATION 2 OF 2
DESCRIPTION:Michigan-Mellon Project\nThe Michigan/Mellon Project on Egalitarianism and the Metropolis\, a 4-year academic and research initiative focused on architecture\, urbanism and humanities research in Detroit\, Mexico City DF and Rio de Janeiro\, is made possible by a $1.3 million grant from the A. W. Mellon Foundation. The Mellon Foundation’s Architecture\, Urbanism\, and the Humanities is a new initiative in the Higher Education and Scholarship in the Humanities program interested in establishing multidisciplinary research programs that can generate new insights into changing urban conditions. The project allows the particularity of design practices to inform and be informed by broader questions of social justice\, social movements and transformative creative arts movements -  both historically and contemporaneously.\nMichigan-Mellon Colloquia this fall are two hours in length and will address the following questions:\nWhat do contemporary conceptions of justice demand of us as academics\, activists and cultural workers?\nWhat aspects of conventional city-making (planning\, architectural and urban design\, landscape design\, private and public investment\, etc.) are ripe for re-invention\, overturning\, or reconsideration in light of how lived experiences of the urban poor and others are falling short of our expectations?  \nWhat role does racial\, ethnic\, gender\, sexuality\, and nation of origin play in attempting to construct a more egalitarian city in Rio de Janeiro\, Mexico City and/or Detroit?\nSpeakers:\nJanet Attarian\, Deputy Director\, Detroit Planning and Development Office\nLars Graebner\, Clinical Associate Professor\, University of Michigan\nChristina Hansen\, Lecturer\, University of Michigan\nTo join\, please RSVP to Kate Grandfield\, 734.615.5260\, grandk@umich.edu

We’ll discuss empirical research into real juror expectations and demands for scientific evidence\, whether it might better be called the “tech effect\,” and how the criminal justice system might adjust to modern jurors. \n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will meet for 90 minutes on Wednesday\, December 7 and will be led by the Hon. Donald E. Shelton who directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Cardy Formula for SUSY Theories and Localization
DESCRIPTION:I will consider 4d =1 supersymmetric theories on a compact Euclidean manifold of the form S1×3. Taking the limit of shrinking S1\, I will present a general formula for the limit of the localization integrand\, derived by simple effective theory considerations. The limit is given in terms of an effective potential for the holonomies around the S1\, whose minima determine the asymptotic behavior of the partition function. If the potential is minimized in the origin\, where it vanishes\, the partition function has a Cardy-like behavior fixed by Tr(R)\, while a nontrivial minimum gives a shift in the coefficient. I will also discuss the generalization to 6d N=(1\,0) indices and an application to Schur indices.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Other:Biological nitrous oxide formation via iron-nitrosyl intermediates
DESCRIPTION:Nitrous oxide (N2O) participates in ozone layer depletion and has a global warming potential nearly 300 times greater than that of CO2. The atmospheric N2O concentration has surged 120% since the pre-industrial era largely due to increased fertilizer use. An estimated 60–75% of N2O is emitted as a by-product of nitrifying or denitrifying microorganisms that transform ammonia (NH3) to nitrate (NO3–) or NO3– to dinitrogen (N2)\, respectively. Designing inhibitors for N2O-producing enzymes could mitigate these environmental consequences\, but this approach requires knowledge of the enzymatic mechanisms. The data presented will provide evidence for intermediates on the reaction pathways of two N2O-producing metalloenzymes: one enzyme produces N2O by reduction of nitric oxide (NO) while the other proceeds by oxidation of hydroxylamine (NH2OH). In both cases\, iron-nitrosyl intermediates directly precede N2O formation.\n\nFlavo-diiron protein (FDP) is a non-heme iron protein that catalyzes the two-electron reduction of 2 molecules of NO to N2O (NOR activity). The active site contains a diiron site adjacent to a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-binding site. In order to separate the reactions of the diiron site from those of the FMN\, the reactivities of a deflavinated and fully-flavinated FDP with nitric oxide were compared. Both enzyme forms produced N2O\, indicating that the FMN is not necessary for N–N bond formation. Rapid-mixing techniques combined with vibrational and magnetic spectroscopies were used to characterize iron nitrosyl ({FeNO}n\, which is Enemark-Feltham notation\; n = number of metal d-electrons plus the unpaired NO electron) intermediates on the FDP NOR pathway. The combined data showed that NO sequentially bound to the two iron sites\; a diferrous-mononitrosyl (FeII-{FeNO}7) intermediate preceded formation of a diferrous-dinitrosyl ([{FeNO}7]2) species. Formation of the latter species was required for N2O formation.\n\nCytochrome (cyt) P460 is a heme-containing enzyme expressed by nitrifying bacteria. This enzyme contains a modified c-type heme active site in which the heme ring is cross-linked with a lysine from the protein. Previous work on cyt P460 identified it as a hydroxylamine (NH2OH) oxidase that produced nitrite (NO2–). However\, we found that under anaerobic conditions\, the enzyme stoichiometrically oxidizes 2 molecules of NH2OH to N2O. Enzyme kinetics\, UV-visible absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies were combined to establish a working mechanism of cyt P460 N2O production. In the presence of an oxidant\, the cyt P460 ferric-hydroxylamine (FeIII–NH2OH) adduct is oxidized to an {FeNO}6 unit. This species subsequently undergoes nucleophilic attack by a second equivalent of NH2OH\, resulting in N2O formation. A new pathway intermediate\, a six-coordinate {FeNO}7\, was recently found to precede the reactive {FeNO}6 intermediate. This new intermediate provides more insight into the cyt P460 hydroxylamine oxidase mechanism as well as the reactivity of iron-nitrosyls. \n\nJonathan Caranto\, PhD (Cornell University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Tunnel Visions: The Rise and Demise of the Superconducting Super Collider\, 1983-1993
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago the US high-energy physics community planned the most powerful hadron collider ever attempted\, the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The Department of Energy conducted a nation-wide site search. Stockbridge\, Michigan and Batavia\, Illinois were among the finalists\, but Waxahachie\, Texas won the competition. Initial construction began in 1989\, but by 1992 the project was in trouble. After spending nearly $3B\, Congress cancelled the SSC in 1993\, and Europe seized the energy frontier. In the talk I will recall the brief history of the SSC and discuss some of the reasons for its demise.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The micro-price is a weighted average between the bid and ask prices\, where the weight is a simple function of the bid and ask sizes. The micro-price is a good predictor of future mid-price moves and is frequently used by high frequency trading algorithms to make micro-decisions\, such as whether to cancel\, submit a limit order or a market order. However\, not much effort has been made in determining whether the micro-price is a fair or efficient price. We redefine the micro-price as the limit of a sequence of expected mid-prices at future stopping times. We provide conditions for this sequence to converge. Volatility signature plots using this notion of micro-price indicate that our method is an effective method for filtering out microstructure noise.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:An endomorphism f of a normal projective variety X is polarized if the pullback via f of an ample divisor H is linearly equivalent to qH for some q>1. Non-trivial endomorphisms on projective spaces or multiplication maps on Abelian varieties are examples of such maps. We show that for mildly  singular X\, we can run an f-equivariant minimal model program. As a result\, the building blocks of polarized endomorphisms are those on Fano varieties of Picard number one and those on Abelian varieties (or their quasi-etale quotients). In particular\, we show that (a power of) every polarized endomorphism of a smooth rationally connected variety acts as a scalar on the Neron-Severi group. This is a joint work with S. Meng.

DESCRIPTION:Owen Gleiberman reads from his latest book\, followed by a conversation with Daniel Herwitz and Q & A.\n\nAbout the book: \"Owen Gleiberman has spent his life watching movies-first at the drive-in\, where his parents took him to see wildly inappropriate adult fare like Rosemary's Baby when he was a wide-eyed 9 year old\, then as a possessed cinemaniac who became a film critic right out of college. In Movie Freak\, his enthrallingly candid\, funny\, and eye-opening memoir\, Gleiberman captures what it's like to live life through the movies\, existing in thrall to a virtual reality that becomes\, over time\, more real than reality itself.\"\n\nOwen Gleiberman is an American film critic. He wrote for The Boston Phoenix and is best known as the founding movie writer for the then-startup Entertainment Weekly\, where he was the lead critic for 24 years. Today Gleiberman continues to write for BBC.com.\n\nDaniel Herwitz is the Frederick G. L. Huetwell Professor of Comp Lit\, Hist of Art\, Philosophy and Art & Design
