SUMMARY:Extreme Cities
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with Ashley Dawson\nco-host: NYC DSA Climate Justice  \nJoin us as climate-justice activists engage in a dialogue with Ashley Dawson\, author of Extreme Cities \nAshley Dawson argues that cities are ground zero for climate change\, contributing the lion’s share of carbon to the atmosphere\, while also lying on the frontlines of rising sea levels. He offers an alarming portrait of the future of our cities\, describing the efforts of Staten Island\, New York\, and Shishmareff\, Alaska residents to relocate; Holland’s models for defending against the seas; and the development of New York City before and after Hurricane Sandy.  \nAs Dawson sees it\, our best hope lies not with fortified sea walls but in urban movements already fighting to remake our cities in a more just and equitable way. \nAshley Dawson is a professor of English at the City University of New York\, and also the author of Extinction: A Radical History.  \nNo one turned away for inability to pay

SUMMARY:Is Another World Really Possible?
DESCRIPTION:A Collaborative Reading and Writing Project\nConvened with Richard Greeman\n12 Weeks\, September 24 through December 10\nStated admissions are for the entire course. Single admission are $10. No one is turned away for inability to pay. \nNew York participants should join us at New Perspectives Theatre (458 W. 37th St) at 10:45 am on Sunday\, 9/24 (tomorrow). The theater is accessible from the 34th St/Hudson Yards stop on the #7 train\, or from Penn Station. Coffee\, tea and cakes will be available. \nIf you plan to watch online\, the URL is\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7eHTpHxoTc \nPrepare by reading Richard Greeman’s Then and Now at\nhttp://futurehistorians.org/doku.php?id=then_and_now \nand/or by watching Immanuel Wallerstein’s “Utopistics” lecture at\n \n2017 taught us all that “No is not enough.” We need a positive vision of a better world and the roads leading to it. So let’s imagine we are future historians living in a peaceful\, egalitarian\, democratic society on a damaged\, but stabilized\, planet in the year 2117. Our project is to look backward a century to the year 2017 (the centenary of the unforeseen 1917 Soviet revolution) and reconstruct how our great-grandparents got us from here — today’s capitalist death-spiral to there — a livable\, sustainable\, global society free of oppression and exploitation. We will meet weekly\, in-person at our New York studio and via teleconference with participants across several time zones (including philosopher Peter Hudis in Chicago and ecosocialist Michel Löwy in Paris) with the goal of collectively creating a popular future fiction of a realistically plausible better world – a vision that might go viral and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. \nWorld-wide participants as of September 1: MAELLA DOQUIN\, Paris\, activist since 1968 • ALEXEI GUSEV\, Moscow\, Historian of Russian Oppositions\, Chair of Praxis Center for Research and Eduction • JULIA GUSEVA\, Moscow\, translator of Victor Serge\, anarcho-syndicalist\, co-founder of Praxis Center • HARRY HALPIN\, Paris\, Internet revolutionary and activist\, team member World Wide Web Consortium\, author: Social Semantics: The Search for Meaning on the Web • JASON HICKS\, NYC transit worker\, union activist\, DSA member\, philosopher • PETER HUDIS\, Chicago\, Marxist-humanist philosopher and activist.

SUMMARY:Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties
DESCRIPTION:Presentation and discussion with author Thomas Grace \nIn Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties\, Thomas M. Grace details how the National Guard killings of antiwar students at Kent State University on May 4\, 1970\, were not a mere tragic anomaly. Rather they were grounded in a tradition of student political activism that extended back to Ohio’s labor battles of the 1950s. The vast expansion of the\nuniversity after World War II brought in growing numbers of working-class enrollees from the industrial centers of northeast Ohio\, members of the same demographic cohort that eventually made up the core of American combat forces in Vietnam. As the Vietnam War’s rising costs came to be felt acutely in their home communities\, Kent’s students joined the growing antiwar movement and clashed with the university administration and the political conservatives who dominated county and state government in Ohio. The battle over the memory and meaning of May 4 has continued to the present day. \nTHOMAS M. GRACE is adjunct professor of history at Erie Community College. A 1972 graduate of Kent State University\, he earned a PhD in history from SUNY Buffalo after many years as a social worker and union representative.

SUMMARY:The Politics of the Unconscious: Last Dance/Last Supper
DESCRIPTION:The Politics of the Unconscious: Hysteria\, Surrealism\, and Avant-Garde Dance\nThe Last Dance meets the Last Repast\nPresented by Marija Krtolica \nSurreal Meal à la Dalí  \nSchedule:\n2 p.m. Arrivals\n2:15 a surprise improvisational event\n2:45 discussion time\, preparation for the meal\n3-4 pm food is served\, reflected on\, and consumed\n4 pm bye bye \nThe event investigates the embodied self as a site of personal and cultural memories evoked through sense based experiences. It proposes a conscious engagement with the aesthetic dimension of viewing\, hearing\, consuming\, and digesting happenings\, thoughts\, and nutrients. \nOn the one hand\, we will explore how the aesthetic de-hierarchization and commodity culture inform our practices as witnesses and makers. On the other\, we will open up the concept of the unconscious and re-create it through imaginative practices.  \nMottos for a Sunday Afternoon: \nThe jaws of my mind are in perpetual motion.\nThe sensual intelligence housed in the tabernacle of my palate beckons me to pay greatest attention to food.\nI only like to eat what has a clear and intelligible form.\n—Salvador Dali\, Gastro Esthetics \nThe spectacle corresponds to the historical moment at which the commodity completes the colonization of social life.\nGuy Debord\, Society of the Spectacle \nMarija Krtolica (b. 1973\, Belgrade) is an international movement artist\, dance researcher and teacher (BFA NYU\, MFA UC Davis\, MA NYU\, completing PhD in dance at Temple University in Philadelphia). Her current research focuses on the meanings and symptoms of hysteria in the nineteenth century\, and critical re-investigation of hysterical scenes in Tanztheater.

SUMMARY:The Politics of the Unconscious: Last Session
DESCRIPTION:Hysteria\, Surrealism\, and Avant-Garde Dance\nMarija Krtolica\nOctober 1\, 2017\, 2:00 to 4:00 pm \nThrough theory and practice we will examine the psychoanalytic concept of the unconscious in the late 19th to 20th century. Starting with the fin-de-siècle Parisian hospital Salpêtrière\, we will touch upon the historical resonances of the invention of mental pathology\, and aesthetic forms that resonance has instigated. On September 17 we will look at the images of the mental patients of this period\, many of which challenge the boundary between artistic representation and medical documentation. Next\, we will examine the political meanings of Dadaist and Surrealist art\, film and poetry and discuss grotesque dances by Valeska Gert (Weimar Era)\, and dance-theater of Pina Bausch and Mats Ek (1970s-80s). On the one hand\, we will explore how the aesthetic de-hierarchization and commodity culture inform our practices as witnesses and makers. On the other\, we will open up the concept of the unconscious and re-create it through imaginative practices. Performance practices will be related to the texts by Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Rancière. \nMarija Krtolica (b. 1973\, Belgrade) is an international movement artist\, dance researcher and teacher (BFA NYU\, MFA UC Davis\, MA NYU\, completing PhD in dance at Temple University in Philadelphia). Her current research focuses on the meanings and symptoms of hysteria in the nineteenth century\, and critical re-investigation of hysterical scenes in Tanztheater. Recently\, she presented papers at CUNY at Graudate Center conference Approaching Dance\, NCSA Caucus in Charleston\, the Department of Visual Arts conference at UCSD (2015)\, ACLA 2015 in Seattle\, a Graduate Conference of the Department of English at the University of Chicago (2014)\, and Choreography Symposium at the University of Cologne (2014)\, At the artistic residence in Spread Art in Detroit (2015)\, the University of Arts Belgrade (2015)\, and at the  Le Couvent artistic residence in Auzits\, France (2016). Marija has worked with the lecture/performance mode of examining elusive boundaries between practice and theory. Marija has published papers in The International Journal of the Arts in Society (2009 and 2011)\, and The Journal of Arts Theory and History (2013). She has written articles and conducted interviews for the Belgrade dance publication Orchestra.  \nFees are sliding scale. No one is denied participation for inability to pay.

DESCRIPTION:An author presentation with discussion\, co-sponsored with Autonomedia \nNo Blood For Oil!\nEssays on Energy\, Class Struggle and War 1998–2016\nGeorge Caffentzis \nThe oil industry is at the center of the major struggles of our time\, but is Marxist theory able to explain its behavior? The oil industry presents a paradox to Marxist theory.  How is it that oil companies employ relatively few workers and invest in a relatively large amount of machinery\, but still are the largest and most profitable companies on the planet? It should be otherwise\, if profits come from exploiting worker’s labor. In his book\, No Blood for Oil\, George Caffentzis shows how Marxism resolves this paradox and accounts for the peculiar role that the oil industry plays in contemporary capitalism as generator of ecological devastation\, war and exploitation. Come to discuss the struggle over the exchange of blood for oil. \nGeorge Caffentzis is emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Southern Maine. He has taught courses on oil and class struggle in many venues in Africa\, South America and Europe. He is a co-founder of the Midnight Notes Collective and is the author of In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work\, Machines\, and the Crisis of Capitalism (2013) and Exciting the Industry of Mankind: George Berkeley’s Philosophy of Money (2000).  \n“The papers in this collection are weapons we use to deconstruct the politics of war and oil\, to uncover the multilayered class meaning of contemporary energy policy\, and are the treasure that gives us a different sense of alternatives. Caffentzis’ critical understanding dissolves the fatalism of peak-oil arguments and posits our struggles to reclaim the commons as the real limit of capitalist use of energy.” — Massimo de Angelis\, author of The Beginning of History
