SUMMARY:Discovering a Forgery: Jupiter's real moons and U-M's fake Galileo manuscript
DESCRIPTION:In 1610\, Galileo Galilei made a revolutionary discovery: moons orbiting Jupiter. One of the first astronomical discoveries made using a telescope\, this event was critical to reshaping human understanding of the cosmos.  Galileo drafted notes on his observations of the moons\, for later publication in a work called the Sidereus Nuncius.  In 1938\, in a meeting that took place at U-M’s Detroit Observatory\, that draft was gifted to the University\, becoming a treasured holding of the University Library.  Or so everyone long believed.  Now\, thanks to the work of historian Nick Wilding\, and the collaboration of  U-M librarian Pablo Alvarez\, the University’s “Galileo Manuscript” has been exposed as a 20th-century forgery.  Join us at the Detroit Observatory for discussion with Wilding and Alvarez of the purported significance of the manuscript\, how its authenticity came to be questioned\, and what went into the determination that it was a fake.  The manuscript itself will be on display as part of this event\, as will be the Library’s copy of the first edition of Sidereus Nuncius.  Following the panel\, weather permitting\, we will observe Jupiter and its Galilean moons using a telescope similar in size and power to the one Galileo used and using the historic 12.5″ Fitz refracting telescope in the Observatory’s dome.\n\n\n\nNick Wilding is professor of history at Georgia State University and a scholar of early modern Europe\, history of science\, and book forgery.  Pablo Alvarez is curator in the Library’s Special Collections Research Center and a specialist in pre-1700 manuscripts and printed books.\n\n\n\n\nIn-person registration for this event can be found here: https://myumi.ch/WJ45r\n\nVirtual registration for this event can be found here: https://myumi.ch/wM5yJ

SUMMARY:A Difficult Archive: Reckoning with the University of Michigan's Complicity in the U.S. Colonization of the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Join us for discussion with Professor de la Cruz about the historical relationship between the University of Michigan and the Philippines in the first decades of the American colonial period\, out of which came some of the most extensive collections of Philippine material (historical\, cultural\, and natural scientific) in North America. Professor de la Cruz will introduce two collaborative projects by U of M faculty and students being carried out to recognize and repair the harm caused by these collections at all levels\, including in their acquisition\, representation\, contextualization\, stewardship\, and use. The event will be followed by tours of the historic Detroit Observatory\, with observing if weather permits. \nDeirdre de la Cruz is Associate Professor of History and Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. She is an historian and cultural anthropologist of the Philippines\, with an interest in the transformation of religious sensibilities\, beliefs\, and phenomena in modernity. She is the author of the book Mother Figured: Marian Apparitions and the Making of a Filipino Universal (University of Chicago Press\, 2015)\, and several articles on religion in the Philippines. Her current projects include a scholarly book on the history of faith healing in the Philippines\, an edited volume on religious diversity in the Philippines\, and two plays\, one on the legacies of Filipinos who fought in WWII\, and another that tells the history of Christianity through the eyes of its apostates. In the last few years\, Deirdre has turned her attention to the vast collections of Philippine materials at the University of Michigan and an exploration of related questions and concerns\, including affect as archival object and archival method\, translingualism in the imperial archives\, and how to decenter the US in US empire studies. \nRegistration for the in person event can be found here: https://myumi.ch/wM5Q3 \nRegistration for the virtual event can be found here: https://myumi.ch/d941q

SUMMARY:Movie Night@The Detroit Observatory: The Moving Earth
DESCRIPTION:On October 6\, the Detroit Observatory will host a discussion of the discovery that the University’s prized manuscript attributed to Galileo\, which discusses his discovery of moons of Jupiter\, is in fact a 20th-century forgery.  As a follow-up\, join us on October 20 to learn more about the historical context of Galileo’s astronomical accomplishments through a showing of the acclaimed documentary\, The Moving Earth\, by Danish film-maker Lars Becker-Larsen.  The Moving Earth (2009\, 52 minutes\, in English) recounts the history of early modern astronomy\, focusing on five key figures: Tycho Brahe\, Giordano Bruno\, Johannes Kepler\, Galileo Galilei\, and Isaac Newton.  Weaving together historical vignettes and scientific explanations\, the movie locates key scientific advances within the biographies of its subjects and the religious\, social and political developments of the time. \nFollowing the film\, we will offer relevant exhibits and tours of the historic Detroit Observatory with astronomical observing if weather permits.  In particular\, Jupiter and its Galilean moons will be in view!
