City-Wide Rally Against Displacement at Gracie Mansion Coalition to Protect Chinatown & the Lower East Side Wednesday, December 16 4:00 PM Gracie Mansion 181 East End Ave New York, NY 10128 More info: https://www.facebook.com/events/1683457841899350/ and http://www.boweryboogie.com/2015/12/coalition-to-protect-chinatown-and-the-… This is an EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION! Mayor de Blasio is ignoring the needs of working families and people of color time and again by pushing luxury development in the name of creating "affordable" housing. In the Lower East Side and Chinatown, he has blatantly disregarded a community-led rezoning plan seven years in the making. He has dismissed similar efforts for an alternative plan in East New York, Brooklyn and is set to do the same for Jerome Avenue in South Bronx and Flushing, Queens. This past month, nearly 50 Community Boards rejected his mandatory citywide zoning, yet the Mayor responded by saying their opinions didn't count. This is undemocratic. A strong multi-ethnic alliance is emerging in opposition. We are calling for the people of New York City to unite and say "No" to Mayor de Blasio's developer-led rezonings, "Yes" to community-led rezoning! ??

Red City: Greek Poetry as Cinema Manos Cízek, Lindsey Aliksanyan December 14th, 2015 7:00 PM The Brooklyn Commons 388 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11217 More info: http://thecommonsbrooklyn.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=13016 Red City<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2367764/> is a film that metabolizes the current economic crisis in Greece and the crisis in morals and values that seems to accompany it. A semi-experimental adaptation of the poetry of Dinos Christianopoulos and Maria Tataraki, Red City offers a vision of a dystopian and futuristic Athens, where the atmosphere is troubled due to a malfunction in the android community, which has lead several androids to revolt against their owners and the police. The whole film is a poetic vision of a country in disarray, trying to find what there's left of the humanity that binds us. The directors occasionally cut to footage of Greek police during recent riots, underlining how this not-too-distant future is really an allegory for what is happening in the country now. After the screening, there will be a live discussion with the director Manos Cízek about the film, the use of protest art today and how we can return poetry to politics. Lindsey Aliksanyan<http://cargocollective.com/LKA> is a film director and producer of Armenian origin. Born in New York City, he has lived in Los Angeles, London, Athens and Armenia, working across a spectrum of independent documentaries, narrative films and commercial videos. Highlighting social and humanitarian issues he has produced & directed works such as the acclaimed political feature film Red City (2012), The Penal Colony (2015) & The Birdcage (2015). He is currently a visiting lecturer on film and practice at the Global Center for Advanced Studies. Manos Cízek<http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5241062/> is an actor, film director and activist, known for The Penal Colony (2015), The Winter (2013) and Red City (2012). He is an instructor of cinema at The Global Center for Advanced Studies (GCAS<https://globalcenterforadvancedstudies.org/>) and a member of the Open Solidarity Initiative for the Struggle of the Workers of the Vio.Me.<http://www.viome.org/> self-managed factory in Thessaloniki. He was also involved in the multimedia team of the Real Democracy movement during the occupation of Syntagma square in Athens. Currently, he is co-directing with Lindsey Aliksanyan the GCAS sponsored documentary The Birdcage and he performs at the Off-Off-Broadway movement drama The Bull of Heaven, directed by Jeff Dailey.

Lecture | Howard Frumkin on Climate Change and Health: From Clinical to Societal Implications Monday, December 14, 2015 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM Institute for Public Knowledge 20 Cooper Sq, Room 503, New York, NY 10003, USA More info and RSVP: https://ipk.nyu.edu/calendar/events/281-lecture-howard-frumkin-on-climate-c… NYU's Institute for Public Knowledge<http://ipk.nyu.edu/> and Program on Population Impact Recovery and Resilience<https://wp.nyu.edu/pir2/> invite you to a lecture by Dr. Howard Frumkin, Dean of the University of Washington School of Public Health and a world-renowned expert on the implications of climate change for public health. The changing climate presents a range of serious implications for public health in American cities, throughout the country, and around the world. Global warming, rising sea levels, changing hydrology, and more extreme weather events have not only disrupted earth systems, but also threaten human health and well-being. Some of these threats are direct and intuitive, such as the impacts of heat waves and severe storms. Others are less direct, such as increased risks of infectious diseases, respiratory diseases, and allergies. Still others are mediated through broad social disruptions, such as food scarcity and population dislocation. The health response must include both mitigation strategies and adaptation strategies that promote health and well-being. Within the health sector, both human resources and infrastructures must evolve to meet the needs of a population at increased risk due to climate change. In his lecture, Dr. Frumkin will address this broad set of issues, taking a systems approach, and moving from "diagnosis" to "treatment." An internist, epidemiologist, and environmental and occupational medicine specialist, Dr. Howard Frumkin<http://sph.washington.edu/faculty/fac_bio.asp?url_ID=Frumkin_Howard> has worked in academia and public service. He is currently Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health and Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Washington. From 2005 to 2010 he held leadership roles at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, first as director of the National Center for Environmental Health and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR), and later as Special Assistant to the CDC Director for Climate Change and Health. He is the author or co-author of over 200 scientific journal articles and chapters, and his books include Urban Sprawl and Public Health (Island Press, 2004, co-authored with Larry Frank and Dick Jackson; named a Top Ten Book of 2005 by Planetizen), Environmental Health: From Global to Local (Jossey-Bass, third edition forthcoming in 2016), and Making Healthy Places: Designing and Building for Health, Well-Being, and Sustainability (Island Press, 2011, co-edited with Andrew Dannenberg and Dick Jackson), among others. This lecture is a public keynote address to presage a convening of experts from across the natural and social sciences for a conference on climate change and public health at the Institute for Public Knowledge. These events are made possible by the generous support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation<http://www.rwjf.org/en.html>, a private philanthropic organization dedicated to building a culture of health for all Americans.

[UrbanStudiesCircular] Dec 9: Arjun Appadurai’s "Banking on Words"

Book Launch | Arjun Appadurai’s "Banking on Words" Wednesday, December 09 6 - 8 PM Institute for Public Knowledge 20 Cooper Sq, Room 503 New York, NY More info and RSVP: https://ipk.nyu.edu/calendar/events/279-book-launch-arjun-appadurai-s-banki… The Cultures of Finance Group<http://ipk.nyu.edu/working-groups/cultures-of-finance> at the NYU Institute for Public Knowledge<http://ipk.nyu.edu/> and the Department of Media, Culture and Communication<http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/mcc/> invite you to join us for the US launch and panel discussion of Arjun Appadurai’s new book, Banking on Words: The Failure of Language in the Age of Derivative Finance<http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/B/bo22228827.html> from University of Chicago Press. The panel discussion, moderated by Arvind Rajagopal, will feature Professor Appadurai in conversation with Caitlin Zaloom and Natasha Schüll. In this provocative look at one of the most important events of our time, renowned scholar Arjun Appadurai argues that the economic collapse of 2008—while indeed spurred on by greed, ignorance, weak regulation, and irresponsible risk-taking—was, ultimately, a failure of language. To prove this sophisticated point, he takes us into the world of derivative finance, which has become the core of contemporary trading and the primary target of blame for the collapse and all our subsequent woes. With incisive argumentation, he analyzes this challengingly technical world, drawing on thinkers such as J. L. Austin, Marcel Mauss, and Max Weber as theoretical guides to showcase the ways language—and particular failures in it—paved the way for ruin. Appadurai moves in four steps through his analysis. In the first, he highlights the importance of derivatives in contemporary finance, isolating them as the core technical innovation that markets have produced. In the second, he shows that derivatives are essentially written contracts about the future prices of assets—they are, crucially, a promise. Drawing on Mauss’s The Gift and Austin’s theories on linguistic performatives, Appadurai, in his third step, shows how the derivative exploits the linguistic power of the promise through the special form that money takes in finance as the most abstract form of commodity value. Finally, he pinpoints one crucial feature of derivatives (as seen in the housing market especially): that they can make promises that other promises will be broken. He then details how this feature spread contagiously through the market, snowballing into the systemic liquidity crisis that we are all too familiar with now. With his characteristic clarity, Appadurai explains one of the most complicated—and yet absolutely central—aspects of our modern economy. He makes the critical link we have long needed to make: between the numerical force of money and the linguistic force of what we say we will do with it. Dr. Arjun Appadurai<http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/mcc/faculty/Arjun_Appadurai> is Paulette Goddard Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at NYU. A prominent contemporary social-cultural anthropologist, he formerly served as Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at The New School and has held various professorial chairs and visiting appointments in the United States and Europe. In addition, he has served on several scholarly and advisory bodies in the United States, Latin America, Europe and India. Dr. Appadurai is a world renowned expert on the cultural dynamics of globalization, having authored numerous books and scholarly articles. The nature and significance of his contributions throughout his academic career have earned him the reputation as a leading figure in his field. He is a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. <http://sca.as.nyu.edu/object/CaitlinZaloom>Arvind Rajagopal<http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/faculty/Arvind_Rajagopal> is a media scholar and Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU.

[UrbanStudiesCircular] Dec 4-6: The Politics, Economies, and Aesthetics of Surveillance Societies
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

The Politics, Economics, and Aesthetics of Surveillance Societies DECEMBER 4-6, 2015 Goethe Institute - New York 30 Irving Place New York, NY More info and full schedule: https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/sta/ney/prj/sen.html?wt_sc=ny_sensitivedata In the age of algorithms, surveillance has exceeded the boundaries of centralized government control to permeate every part of our lives and transform our collective sensorium. As vast communication networks spread over the world, intensive data gathering accelerates the abstraction of human life to feed the market's ever-expanding appetite. Mass surveillance, then, is not simply the mark of a rogue security state but underpins a much larger technological and economic complex set to radically reconfigure human interactions as the separation between organic and inorganic matter becomes ever more blurry. Interdisciplinary Symposium As surveillance comes to saturate our life-worlds, we find ourselves in need of an expanded conceptual apparatus able to grasp it in its immense complexity. To this end, the Goethe-Institut New York is pleased to present Images of Surveillance: The Politics, Economics, and Aesthetics of Surveillance Societies, an interdisciplinary symposium bringing together artists, scholars, writers, activists, politicians, and others to reflect on surveillance beyond the dichotomies that have come to shape public discourse on the topic in the wake of Edward Snowden's revelations. Resolutely multiform, Images of Surveillance will combine lectures, panel discussions, artist talks and presentations, as well as several performances and a video installation, to explore the topic in its various political, economic, and aesthetic dimensions and open new avenues to think about surveillance in the 21st century. At the heart of Images of Surveillance is the recognition that surveillance as object of study is far too complex to be grasped from any single point of view and thus requires us to combine multiple perspectives into a fuller picture of what surveillance might be. Such an approach rejects both disciplinary boundaries and post-modern indeterminacy in favor of a concerted effort to create overlaps and conceptual chains across a wide variety of practices and discourses. Participants Jacob Appelbaum, Armen Avanessian, Roger Berkowitz, Big Art Group, Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, Ulf Buermeyer, Jimena Canales, Simon Critchley, Simon Denny, Diedrich Diederichsen, Bernard Harcourt, Dietmar Kammerer, Chris Kondek & Christiane Kühl, Korpys/Löffler, David Lyon, Uday Mehta, Evgeny Morozov, Trevor Paglen, Alessandra Renzi, Marcus Steinweg, Nils Zurawski Sensitive Data Images of Surveillance: The Politics, Economics, and Aesthetics of Surveillance kicks off Sensitive Data, a long-term international project that aims to advance international, interdisciplinary, and theoretical discourse and artistic exploration on and around surveillance and data capitalism. The event series will continue through 2017 including a variety of public programs in New York, Munich, and Berlin. The Goethe-Institut's partners are Germany's Federal Agency for Civic Education, Münchner Kammerspiele, and Bard College, among others.

[UrbanStudiesCircular] Dec 3: Mobile Selves: Race, Migration, and Belonging in Peru and the U.S.

01 Dec '15

Mobile Selves: Race, Migration, and Belonging in Peru and the U.S. Thursday 03 December, 2015 6pm Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics 20 Cooper Square, Floor 5 More info: https://www.facebook.com/events/1516490331977499/ ________________________________ Mobility is one of the key axes of social inequality in the contemporary world. In Mobile Selves, Ulla D. Berg examines the conditions under which racialized Peruvians of rural and working-class origins leave the central highlands of Peru to migrate to the United States, how they fare, and what constrains their movement and their attempts to live meaningful lives across borders. Berg studies transnational labor migration not just as an economic phenomenon but also an aspirational project at the heart of the ongoing process of social becoming among people who are simultaneously centrally and peripherally situated in relation to global capitalism, metropolitan modernity, and the legacies of imperial and colonial projects. By exploring how migrants produce themselves as persons between the Peruvian Andes and the United States-through documents, money, and images and objects in circulation-this book documents and theorizes how mobility and technology reconfigure the social in a global and increasingly interconnected world. Commentators: Prof. Ana Yolanda Ramos-Zayas is the Valentin Lizana y Parrague Chair in Latin American, Black and Latino Studies at Baruch College of the City University of New York. Suzanne Oboler is Professor of Latin American and Latina/o Studies at John Jay College of the City University of New York. She is Founding Editor of the academic journal, Latino Studies (2002-2012). Enrique Mayer is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Yale University. Ulla D. Berg is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Latino Studies at Rutgers University, where she also directs the Center for Latin American Studies. She has conducted extensive ethnographic research in the central highlands of Peru and among migrants from this area in the United States. She is the co-editor of Transnational Citizenship Across the Americas.
