Book Discussion | Zero Sum: The Arc of International Business in Russia


When the hammer and sickle came down in late 1991, Russia’s feverish new market opened for business. From banking to breweries, sectors emerged out of nowhere, in a country that had never had a functioning economy. For the next three turbulent decades, a wild, proto-capitalist free-for-all transformed Russian society. Then, in 2022, Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The market started to collapse; Western firms fled Moscow’s skyscrapers. No country this large had ever transformed itself as dizzyingly as 1990s Russia–now, just as dramatically, it was over. The intervening decades had seen phenomenal successes and crushing failures; the creation and destruction of enormous fortunes. How did it all happen? Charles Hecker's book brings to life the complex, vivid color of one of the greatest experiments in the history of global commerce. What have businesses learnt–or failed to learn–from this adventure, both about Russia and about dynamics between countries and companies in the face of relentless change?

Book Discussion | Toxic Tropics: A Horror Story of Environmental Injustice


Jessica Oublie presents her graphic novel, an in-depth work of comics journalism that explores the devastating legacy of chlordecone, a toxic chemical used in banana farming in Martinique and Guadeloupe. In 1975, the pesticide manufacturer LifeSciences shut down its plant after numerous employees were poisoned, and a local river was contaminated. Despite this, farmers in the French Antilles continued to use chlordecone, and even after it was officially banned in 1993, illegal imports and usage persisted. The chemical became so widespread that it contaminated nearly every aspect of daily life on the islands, with its presence in food and water. Today, 95% of the population in Guadeloupe and 92% in Martinique are affected by the chemical, contributing to one of the highest cancer rates in the world.

Discussion | Blackface in Conversation: Racial Geographies and Transatlantic Entanglements


A compelling evening that examines the persistence of blackface and racial impersonation across cultures and historical contexts. This event brings together prominent scholars and artists to discuss the enduring legacy of these practices and how they shape ideologies of race-making. This roundtable will feature: Noémie Ndiaye (University of Chicago), author of the award-winning Scripts of Blackness: Early Modern Performance Culture and the Making of Race (Penn Press, 2022). Danielle Roper (University of Chicago), author of the forthcoming Hemispheric Blackface: Impersonation and Nationalist Fictions in the Americas (Duke UP, 2025). Silvia Albert Sopale, Spanish Afrodescendant actress and writer, and Spring 2025 KJC Chair at Espacio de Culturas @KJCC. Moderated by Jill Lane (NYU), the discussion will explore themes central to Albert Sopale’s critically acclaimed play Blackface y otras vergüenzas, which interrogates blackface in contemporary Spain and its global resonances. The conversation will situate these practices within broader historical and geographical frameworks, from early modern Europe to the contemporary Americas.

Talk | On the Desire to Wake (in-person and online)


What do we want, when we want to wake up? A key part of Freud’s theory of “secondary revision” in dreams concerns the peculiarity of the dream in which one believes oneself to have woken. Such moments, he thinks, are effects of the preconscious censor exerting a sort of belated force on the dream’s manifest content as it emerges, repressive effects whose character is therefore not libidinal in the usual sense in which psychoanalysis understands the content of a dream. Yet it is not hard to see a desire to wake up as possessed, at least in principle, of its own libidinal motivation: in the fantasy of the red pill, the retcon, the “darkest timeline,” and in many other scenes across the landscape of ecocidal crisis and post-liberal institutional collapse through which we move, urging ourselves and each other towards a transformation of consciousness, analogous to waking, that would constitute us as a revolutionary class in revolutionary times. This talk will leaf through some of these contemporary fantasies of waking, precisely those whose libidinal character uncovers a history that psychoanalysis, for once, declines to name, but which exposes a drive beyond the reality principle. Tripping quickly across the wake-space of contemporary narrative, this lecture will briefly consider the prestige H. B. O. dramas The Leftovers and Westworld; Ye’s 2010 masterpiece My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy; and the Estonian Marxist computer role-playing game Disco Elysium (2019). Speaker Grace Lavery is the author of three scholarly monographs and one autocritical memoir, each of which explores the affordances of particular literary and cultural genres for transcriptions of sexual embodiment.
