CFP: Penang and the Indian Ocean (17 and 18 September 2011)
**************************************
From: Loh Wei Leng <loh.weileng@gmail.com>
Penang and the Indian Ocean
Penang has long been at the centre of inter-regional networks of
exchange.
Although much work has focused on Penang's position within a Chinese
maritime world of commerce and migration, less attention has been paid
to
Penang's equally significant connections with South Asia. This
workshop—which forms part of the broader Penang Story 2 project—aims to
bring together scholars with interests in Penang's role as a gateway
to the
Indian Ocean over the past two centuries.
The workshop will examine the multiple networks, imperial, commercial,
cultural, and
biographical, that linked Penang with the littorals of the eastern
Indian
Ocean, stretching from Burma and Sri Lanka to the "Coromandel Coast" of
India. How might Penang be treated as a site through which to examine
the
density of cultural and economic interactions in the Indian Ocean
world, and
between the regions conventionally divided into South and Southeast
Asia?
How have Penang's urban landscape, its population, and the development
of
its civic culture borne the imprint of its Indian Ocean connections? How
does Penang's Indian Ocean history feature in popular and official
memory in
the present day, and with what implications for the future?
We invite proposals that investigate any aspect of Penang's Indian Ocean
history, broadly
conceived. Topics might include: migration, the interactions between
multiple diasporas, trade and flows of material culture, and the
history of
political and religious ideas.
Paper proposals of 300 words should be sent to
penangindianocean@gmail.comby 15 March 2011. Regretfully, we are
unable to offer financial support for
travel to successful applicants, who are asked to find funding from
their
own institutions, if available, or from external sources. However,
discounted rates for accommodation can be arranged.
The conference will be held on 17 and 18 September 2011 in Penang (at a
venue to be determined). The convenors are Professor Loh Wei Leng
(University of Malaya, ret'd.), Dr Tim Harper (University of
Cambridge) and
Dr Sunil Amrith (University of London).

UMMA: April 2011 exhibitions and events
************************************
From: Stephanie Rieke Miller <srieke@umma.umich.edu>
April 2011 exhibitions and events:
"Life in Ceramics: Five Contemporary Korean Artists" opens, Jazz
Series, FestiFools, and novelist Richard Ford!
OPENING EXHIBITION
"Life in Ceramics: Five Contemporary Korean Artists"
April 2 through June 26, 2011
Korean ceramics have been admired since the 12th century for their
superb craftsmanship and original shapes, techniques, and design, as
well as for their visual reflection of the culture's history and soul.
This exhibition focuses on five artists with well established
reputations in Korea, whose visually stunning ceramic objects
acknowledge and engage with Korean clay traditions yet embody
innovative, unexpected art making and conceptual approaches. "Life in
Ceramics" brings together for the first time the work of Kim Yikyung,
Lee In Chin, Lee Kang Hyo, Lee Young-Jae, and Yoon Kwang-cho. These
contemporary ceramicists take familiar, everyday forms such as bowls
and vases as a starting point from which to explore the astonishing
beauty of these shapes as works of art. Each produces work grounded in
Korea's ancient ceramic traditions, but takes it in new and often
surprising directions. Objects from each artist's everyday ware
collection will also be shown, so that visitors can examine how each
artist makes the distinction between fine art and functional design.
"Life in Ceramics: Five Contemporary Korean Artists" was organized and
produced by the Fowler Museum at UCLA. It was made possible by a major
grant from the Korea Foundation. Additional support was provided by
Korean Airlines. UMMA's installation is made possible in part by the
University of Michigan Health System, Office of the President, and Nam
Center for Korean Studies, and by the Friends of the University of
Michigan Museum of Art, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural
Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS
"Photoformance: An Empathic Environment"
March 19 through May 15, 2011
This new multimedia installation brings together the work of Ernestine
Ruben, experimental photographer of the human form; Monica Ponce de
Leon, architect of highly sensual, muscular, and poetic structures;
and Peter Sparling, choreographer/video artist of new movement forms;
with music by Erik Santos, composer of scores for a wide range of
musical ensembles and Butoh performances. The supple, dynamic
environment they will create together will feature a video synthesis
of photographic imaging and the choreography of actual bodies
projected onto the skins of a multilayered, membrane-like structure,
providing a walk-through body and a luminous web for visitors to
explore.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan
Office of the Provost. Additional support has been provided by UM's
Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, School of Music,
Theatre & Dance, Office of the Vice President for Research, and
Digital Media Commons at the James and Anne Duderstadt Center.
"Out of the Ordinary: Selections from the Bohlen Wood Art and Fusfeld
Folk Art Collections"
Ongoing
This exhibition allows visitors to explore two extraordinary
collections of art—the Robert M. and Lillian Montalto Bohlen
Collection of Wood Art and the Daniel and Harriet Fusfeld Folk Art
Collection. The Bohlen collection presents an astonishing range of
contemporary artworks fashioned from wood and includes works that
explore traditional and non-traditional vessel forms as well as works
that are more purely sculptural. The outstanding objects that make up
the Fusfeld collection are both geographically and historically wide-
ranging, including work by early 19th-century itinerant folk
portraitists as well as late 20th-century sculpture and painting by
"outsider" artists from the American South, Midwest, and Northeast.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the Charles H. and
Katherine C. Sawyer Endowment and the Richard and Rosann Noel
Endowment Fund.

Frieberg Post-docs fellowships, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
*************************************
From: "Michal Biran" <biranm@mscc.huji.ac.il>
Louis Frieberg Post-doctoral Fellowship
The Louis Frieberg Center for East Asian Studies offers post-doctoral
fellowships for the year 2011-2012. The post-docs are open to scholars
in the humanities and social sciences specializing in East Asia,
especially China, Japan and Korea. Fellowships are granted for one
year or one term with the possibility of extension for an additional
year. The starting date of the visit should not be later than four
years after receipt of the Doctoral Degree; the fellow must hold a
valid Doctoral Degree no later than April 2011.
The fellowship consists of a monthly stipend (tax free) of $1,250 and
a housing allowance of $150. Payments are made once in three months in
Israeli Shekels and are linked to the "representative rate of
exchange." Fellows are entitled to one airline ticket (economy class)
for a direct flight from their home town to Israel and back.
The fellows are expected to teach one or two courses in the Hebrew
University (for additional payment, according to the Hebrew University
regulations). The ability to teach a course in Hebrew is welcome, but
is not a prerequisite for attaining the fellowship. The fellows are
also expected to actively participate in the life and activities of
the Louis Frieberg Center for East Asian Studies. The fellows will
present their research at the department seminar of the East Asian
Studies Department, and possibly at other relevant forums. Any work
outside the Hebrew University would be allowed only after specific
approval by the Frieberg Center
Applicants should submit three hard copies and an electronic copy of
their application to the address below, no later than June 1st, 2011.
The application must include CV, research plans, a sample of
applicant's publications (if relevant) and two letters of
recommendation. The applicant should indicate the names and positions
of the recommenders, but the letters of recommendation should be sent
by the recommenders direct to the address below.
The Frieberg Center will announce its decision by July 2011. The
academic year at the Hebrew University begins on October 30th, 2011
and ends in mid-June 2012; the fellows are supposed to arrive in
Israel no later than October 28th, 2010. The one-term fellowship will
end on February 1st, 2011, or start on February 14th 2010 and end on
June 30th, 2011.
