SUMMARY:“Archives and Futures: A View from ‘the most distant place’”
DESCRIPTION:Shamil Jeppie\, University of Capetown\, South Africa \n\nMonday\, Feb 12\, 4-6pm\nRackham Amphitheatre\, 915 E. Washington\n\nPlease join us for a reception with Shamil Jeppie immediately following the lecture. \nThe Oxford English Dictionary describes Timbuktu as “the most distant place\,” a view that comes out of European explorations of West Africa and the challenges in reaching the place in the interior of the continent\, at the edges of the Sahara desert. Hardly anything was ever noted about Timbuktu’s place in a larger network of settlements with traditions of advanced literacy\, of scholars and scholastic manuscript book making and collecting. Centuries of learned activity were well-known among various local communities. Some settlements become more famous than others. “Timbuktu” somehow became the most famous name. But it was neither an invention nor without actual scholars. \nWhat can the ways these manuscript libraries were kept and conserved—but also dispersed and often destroyed—over the past century and more tell us about the place of archives from the period before European contact in parts of the African past? When and how do archives come to give us insight into more than experiences and conceptions of the past but ideas about the future? The recent attacks on cultural sites including libraries in and around Timbuktu provides an opportunity to ask questions about the constructions of collections and archives\, and their relation to writing about the past but also what they tell about visions of the future. These conflicts and the loss and hazardous movement of cultural artifacts and collections are far from over on the continent. \nShamil Jeppie is associate professor of history at the University of Cape Town and director of the Institute for Humanities in Africa. His research and publications focus on social and cultural history in South Africa and West Africa\, and he is founder of the Tombouctou Manuscripts Project\, which explores the formation of a culture of collecting in Timbuktu. His books include Language\, Identity\, Modernity: The Arabic Study Circle of Durban (2007)\, and the co-edited volumes The Meanings of Timbuktu (2008)\, Muslim Family Law in Sub-Saharan Africa: Colonial Legacies and Post-Colonial Challenges (2010)\, andToward New Histories for South Africa: On the Place of the Past in Our Present (2004). \n

SUMMARY:Historic House Museums workshop
DESCRIPTION:The morning session of this workshop is free and open to the public.  The afternoon visit to Fair Lane Estate\, however\, is limited to 40 people and is fully registered. \nHouse museums have been a mainstay of the American museum landscape for generations.  The most common museum type in the United States\, these monuments to affluence and influence—often associated with ‘great men’ and community founders—are found from small towns to major urban centers.  Over the last half century\, the model for the historic house museum has become both familiar and entrenched.  Today\, historic house museums are being challenged: to respond to changing audiences and interests of contemporary museum goers: to tell more complex—and difficult—histories; and to more fully represent the many and diverse communities and individuals that constitute our past and present. \nRe-Imagining the Historic House Museum brings together scholars\, professionals\, and provocateurs who are transforming historic house museums to tell new stories and create new visitor experiences.  This all-day event has two parts.  In the morning\, speakers will introduce their work and institutions in on-campus presentations.  In the afternoon\, pre-registered participants are invited to join a visit to Henry Ford’s Fair Lane Estate in Dearborn\, MI\, currently in the midst of an innovative renovation.  Attendees will be introduced to new approaches to historic house museums and have the opportunity for a rare behind-the-scenes look at work being undertaken in our own community. \n  \n8:30 am – 12:30 pm\, Michigan League (Koessler Room\, 3rd floor) \n  \nParticipants: \nElizabeth Chew\, Vice President for Museum Programs\, James Madison’s Montpelier \nLisa Yun Lee\, Executive Director\, National Public Housing Museum and Director\, School of Art and Art History\, University of Illinois\, Chicago \nMark Heppner\, Vice President for Historic Resources\, Historic Ford Estates \nFrank Vagnone\, co-author\, Anarchist’s Guide to Historic House Museums \nNancy Villa Bryk\,  Associate Professor\, Program in Historic Preservation\, Eastern Michigan University \n  \nPlease see the complete schedule\, presentation titles\, and participant biographies here. \n  \n* The bus to Fairlane Estate will leave from the Michigan League at 1:30 pm (The bus is fully reserved; if you have reserved a spot and must cancel\, please email ummsp@umich.edu to open your spot for someone else.) \n  \n  \n
