SUMMARY:Approaching the Limit: Panel 2\, Extremities
DESCRIPTION:Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture\nBoundary\, border\, threshold\, edge—to approach the limit is to look beyond the familiar landmarks of cultural studies. From geographical borders to epistemological categories\, limits and edges initiate the dialectical moment of thought\, overturning or transcending the axioms and foundations from which it has sprung. Setting limits to the working day (minimums\, then maximums) or to wages (maximums\, then minimums\, as Marx describes in Capital‘s chapters on primitive accumulation’s legislative efforts) are only the tip of the iceberg. So where do we experience the limits—or limitlessness—of our worlds? \nIn two linked panels\, the Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture explores the limits and limitations of our world—sensory\, spatial\, temporal\, social\, cultural\, political. In their geographical and methodological variety\, our papers collectively map out the terrain of this keyword\, and seek to determine the bounds\, so to speak\, of studying\, theorizing and making culture at the limit. \nIn this our second panel we question the socio-spatial manifestations of the limit and its political and property avatars: the border the boundary\, and the zone. Across these contributions\, to think at the extremity is to reevaluate the whole\, querying how limits animate entire systems of thought and distinction. (Panel 1 details here) \nNathaniel LaCelle-Peterson examines the function of infrastructure in the thought of Louis Althusser\, where it appears as substitute for “base” as the opposing category of “superstructure” in his structuralist articulation of the mode of production. Alan J. Alaniz analyzes the built and unbuilt architectural projects of the midcentury Mexico-United States borderlands to illuminate the spatial consequences of geopolitics at the international divide.  Madeleine Han examines the role of contemporary art in the transformation of Korea’s Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)—a geographical and imagined ‘limit’ marked by dreams of deferred reunification—into a visitation site. Javier Porras Madero explores how combined and uneven development along the Mexico-Guatemala borderlands produced newly alienated subjects who became the central social components of twentieth-century nationalisms. \nThe Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture is an interdisciplinary cultural studies research group that has been practicing at Yale University since 2003 Over the years\, we have presented our collective work at Crossroads in Cultural Studies the Irish Association for American Studies\, the Cultural Studies Association\, Historical Materialism\, the Marxist Education Project\, and the World Social Forum. Past projects have appeared as “Going into Debt\,” online in Social Text’s Periscope\, and as “Space and Times of Occupation” in Transforming Anthropology; a collective interview regarding “Matters of Life and Death” was published in Revue Française d’Études Américaines. Nathaniel LaCelle-Peterson is a doctoral researcher in Film & Media Studies and Comparative Literature at Yale University. Alan J. Alaniz is a doctoral researcher in the Yale School of Architecture. Madeleine Han is a doctoral researcher in the Yale American Studies program. Javier Porras Madero is a doctoral researcher in the history department at Yale University.

SUMMARY:Protective Presence in the West Bank
DESCRIPTION:Live event concluded\, but you may watch the recording on YouTube.\nThe only people standing beside the Palestinians of the West Bank as they defend themselves from ethnic cleansing are protective presence activists. Celeste Marcus and Mitch Abidor have both spent time in the West Bank doing protective presence\, accompanying Palestinians in their fields and with their flocks and confronting settlers who are far less likely to kill and even attack Palestinians if protective presence activists are on the ground. Mitch and Celeste will be discussing their experiences and their new organization\, Protective Presence USA\, which is assisting Americans in joining this effort to fight off the annexation of Palestinian land. \nMitch Abidor is a writer and translator. His latest book is Victor Serge: Unruly Revolutionary. He’s currently working on an oral history of the Israeli socialist anti-Zionist organization Matzpen. \nCeleste Marcus is the executive editor of Liberties Journal and the author of Chaim Soutine: Genius\, Obsession and a Dramatic Life in Art. She has written widely about settler terrorism in the West Bank.
