Conference | 7th Annual Radical Democracy Conference
This graduate student conference is on the concept, history, practices and implications of radical democracy. If the preconditions for the rise of the far-right, xenophobia, white supremacy, ethno-nationalism, right-wing populism, religious fundamentalism and fascism can be found within liberal democracy and neo-liberalism, laying bare the violent foundations of the liberal democratic project, then what hope can theories of radical democracy offer toward re-founding society on democratic principles? How have the rise of social movements such as Occupy, the Arab Spring, Rojava, Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, 15M, AntiFa, and the emergence of left alternatives such as Podemos, MAS and Syriza both exposed the contradictions of institutionalism, capitalism, rule of law, deliberation and other aspects of liberal democracy, and also illuminated the need for radical democratic alternatives?

Symposium | Slave Pasts in the Present: Narrating Slavery through the Arts, Technology, and Tourism
Over the past few years, slavery has become a frequent theme in contemporary culture. Even though the topic has always been central in countries such as Brazil and the United States, it seems we have been watching more movies, soap operas and tv series on slavery than ever. Tourists are visiting historical sites and engaging in tours on the history and memory of the slave trade all over the Atlantic world. Crowds are packing museums on African-American culture. Slavery is represented in dance in popular festivals such as Rio’s carnival. Not surprisingly, slavery is a topic as sensitive as it is trendy. Video games and children’s books are provoking discussions among school-age parents. Movies are becoming public controversies. And the discussions over memorials and statues that deal with the slave past set the stage for political protests all over the United States. This symposium aims to discuss the ways in which slavery is narrated in the tourism and entertainment industries. 10 am – 10:30 am Coffee 10:30 am – 1:00 pm Slavery, Heritage and Tourism Chair: Barbara Weinstein (NYU) Monica Lima (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro): Talking about the History of Slavery Visiting a Site of Sensitive Memory: the Case of Valongo Wharf in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Keila Grinberg (Andrés Bello Visiting Professor, NYU and UNIRIO): Slavery and the Challenges of Tourism of Memory in Brazil Alissandra Cummings (University of West Indies, Barbados): The Absence of Presence: Resurrecting the “Ghost of Slavery” in 21st Century Caribbean/Barbados Paul Gardullo (National Museum of African American History and Culture): Meanings of Memory: Building Community Stewardship around the history of the slave trade in Mozambique and South Africa Discussant: Daryle Williams (University of Maryland) 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm Lunch 2:30 pm – 5:30 pm Slavery, Storytelling and Entertainment Chair: Ada Ferrer (NYU) Paula Halperin (SUNY: Purchase College): Domestic Space, Intimacy, and Historical Imagination in the Brazilian Soap Opera Escrava Isaura (1976) Brenda Romero (Limerick University): The New World: A Look at Slavery in Games Lisa Woolfork (University of Virginia): _Deliberate Remembering and Willful Forgetting: Approaches to American Slavery in Popular Culture_ Ashraf Rushdy (Wesleyan University): Underground and Overseas: Recent Developments in Contemporary Narratives of Slavery Martha Abreu (Universidade Federal Fluminense): Narratives about Slavery in Brazilian Samba and Carnival Discussant: Yuko Miki (Fordham University) Reception to follow.

Opening Reception | 2 Exhibitions on Czech History
The Masaryk Phenomenon The special exhibit focuses on the unique personality of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the founding father and first President of Czechoslovakia. The project depicts his many roles as professor of philosophy, sociologist, writer, politician, journalist, visionary, democrat, father, and husband. A combination of display panels and projections portrays Masaryk’s worldly inspiration and broad influence as well as his critical thinking and courage to oppose the majority while defending justice and human values. Milan Rastislav Štefánik – the Great Slovak and European Diplomat Milan Rastislav Štefánik was a Slovak politician, diplomat and astronomer. During World War I, he served at the same time as a general in the French Army and as Minister of War for Czechoslovakia. As one of the leading members of the Czechoslovak National Council (the resistance government), he contributed decisively to the cause of Czechoslovakian sovereignty, since the status of Czech- and Slovak-populated territories was one of those in question until shortly before the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1918.

Discussion | The Concept of History
It has been common in modernity to think of history as singular and universal, progressively moving forward to a particular end. Although only few contemporary philosophers and historians maintain the view that there is strict universality and teleology in history, according to Professor Dmitri Nikulin in his most recent work, The Concept of History, the remnants of these positions still affect our understanding of history. In the account he gives, which he traces back to antiquity, Nikulin interrogates what we mean when we talk of history and the philosophical problems we get into by conceiving of it in certain ways. If we jettison the idea of an objective universal end to history, are we left in a morass of relativism? Can we embrace a view of history as an amalgam of genealogies and geographies while still doing justice to constituents of our accounts of history that seem to be historically invariant? This will be a roundtable discussion of Nikulin's latest book and the philosophy of history, more generally. Nikulin will be joined for the roundtable discussion by Jeffrey Bernstein (Professor of Philosophy, College of the Holy Cross), and Massimiliano Tomba (Professor of History of Consciousness, University of California, Santa Cruz, and former Visiting Professor at the Department of Philosophy). A reception with drinks and light refreshments will follow.

Author Reading | Matthew Longo reads from his book The Politics of Borders
Borders sit at the center of global politics. Yet they are too often understood as thin lines, as they appear on maps, rather than as political institutions in their own right. This book takes a detailed look at the evolution of border security in the United States after 9/11. Far from the walls and fences that dominate the news, it reveals borders to be thick, multi-faceted and binational institutions that have evolved greatly in recent decades.

Classical Music | Chamber opera by "an admired experimentalist composer" - The New Yorker
S.E.M. Ensemble presents Master-Pieces (2014-15), a chamber opera by Petr Kotik. Master-Pieces is a meditation on the nature of the creative process, and on works that we identify as masterpieces. Kotik’s libretto uses text from Gertrude Stein’s 1936 lecture, “What Are Master-Pieces and Why Are There So Few of Them.” The piece combines a conversation among the singers with a quasi-lecture, interrupted by three narrators whose text comes from Stein's diary she kept from 1943 to 1944, "The Wars I Have Seen." The diary refers to situations Stein experienced during WWII and places the opera in a certain time and space. Hailed by The New York Times as “the best of what is left of the experimental tradition,” S.E.M. Ensemble was founded in 1970 by composer, conductor and flutist Petr Kotik (b.1942). S.E.M has performed in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, and Merkin Hall.
