Lecture | The Soviet "Transition": Economic Expertise
In and beyond academia, the Soviet collapse is taken as the culmination, whether triumphal or disastrous, of a global neoliberal turn since the 1960s. Economists are often taken as that epoch's agents, theorists, or avatars, and the Soviet case seems exemplary: economist Yegor Gaidar was appointed First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation in 1991, and over thirteen months managed the collapse of the Soviet economy into one that was, if not liberal, at least clearly capitalist. This talk show, Gaidar was no "Chicago [or Harvard] Boy," as he is often labeled. He was neither a Westernized economist, nor even a mathematical economist; neither a neoliberal, nor even a liberal. Gaidar was a specialist in the accounting practices of socialist enterprises, a young participant in a well-established and highly active world of socialist reform economics. His work in the 1980s progressed from arguments about how best to construct accounting “indicators” for value added to a theory of how to transition the Soviet economy to a self-managed socialism on the Yugoslav or Hungarian models. By the end of the decade, he had developed a new critique of the Soviet economy as in fact no longer centrally planned at all, but rather a sort of bureaucratic morass. Introducing markets would be not the end of socialist planning, but the very possibility of it—a thought which has become unintelligible in liberal terms that equate markets with capitalism. The Soviet collapse was the moment from which neo-liberal Weltgeschichte was retrospectively constructed. But what then happens to this understanding of our epochal location if Gaidar was no neoliberal, and if the Soviet collapse is not best understood as a neoliberal transition? Speaker: Adam Leeds

On one such late-night excursion, Gil encounters a group of strange yet familiar revelers who sweep him along, apparently back in time, for a night with some of the Jazz Age's icons of art and literature.

Known for her roles in comedic and dramatic films and television programs, she has received various accolades throughout her career spanning over five decades, including an Academy Award, two Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards as well as nominations for a Tony Award and two BAFTA Awards. Adrien Brody is an American actor. He is best known for his portrayal of Władysław Szpilman in Roman Polanski's war drama The Pianist (2002), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor at age 29, becoming the youngest actor to win in that category. He has starred in several other films and has received several other awards including nominations for a Golden Globe Award and a Primetime Emmy Award. Marion Cotillard is a French actress.

Lecture | How George Sand Met "Germain" or Why We Still Need Handwriting
Professor Evelyne Ender (Johns Hopkins University) discusses the handwritten manuscript of George Sand's 19th Century French tale La Mare au Diable. What are we losing in terms of human creativity as we lose our grip on handwriting and rely instead on machine-writing? This question has served as a prompt for Evelyne Ender's forthcoming book, Handwriting: An Inner History. In her talk, she will revisit the manuscript of George Sand's tale La Mare au Diable in order to discuss the emergence of an artwork in an age of manuscription.

Opening Reception | When Image Processing Became Painting: Group Show
An exhibition featuring paintings and drawings by a group of 13 artists, along with a video work fragment by Jean-Luc Godard. At what precise moment in the last hundred years did artists become actively aware that images preceded their efforts to produce new ones? It remains a question for debate, but what is less uncertain is that the ubiquitous and incessant circulation of pictures now constitutes a kind of second nature, a psychological condition shared by all, and by painters in particular.
