Discussion | Global Money: Past, Present, Future


Money is both one of the great intellectual puzzles and practical problems of the modern world. Taken more at face value it appears to be one of the most basic and important expressions of state sovereignty. It defines the boundaries of national economies and their interrelationships. Printing and coining money is a closely guarded privilege of the state. And yet at moments of crisis we discover and rediscover the disconcerting fact that purchasing power in the most important currencies of the world is in fact generated in oceanic quantities beyond the boundaries of the states to which it belongs, by actors that are not the state. We live, in fact, in a world of global money. Speakers: Adam Tooze, Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of History and Director of the European Institute. Perry G. Mehrling, Professor of Economics. Patricia C. Mosser, Senior Research Scholar, Faculty of International and Public Affairs. Phil Prince, Managing Director and Head of Treasury, Pine River Capital Management. less

Discussion | Movement: The New Global Indigenous


Colonialism can be viewed as a set of dynamic spatial relations, of directional movements, both voluntary more and involuntary, over land and sea. Indigeneity can be conceived of as a contrasting set of spatial relations, defined by a people's reciprocal connections to land. Can the massive movement and displacement of bodies associated with colonization be understood as choreography? What are the connections between decolonizing gestures in the work of international indigenous artists and the indigenous resurgence embodied in political movements such as Idle No More? Can a visiting indigenous choreographer, in artist's residency in New York, connect us, through relational movement, with the indigeneity of Manahatta? Movement: The New Global Indigenous is an experiment in conversation and relation, the first public event of the program initiative Indigenous New York. less
