Contemporary German Art: The New York Experience is a captivating survey of modern-day artists from Germany.

Lecture | Reactive Attitudes Revisited


P. F. Strawson's essay "Freedom and Resentment" has had a major impact on work on moral responsibility in ethics and legal philosophy over the last fifty years. The essay is widely cited, and its innovative use of emotions in dealing with the question of whether it makes sense to hold people responsible for their actions if determinism is true is often appealed to in studies of the topic. Yet Strawson's account of these emotions and how we can better understand the practice of holding people responsible by attending to their role in interpersonal relations is commonly misunderstood. In this talk, John Deigh of the University of Texas at Austin will reconstruct Strawson's view and explain how it yields strikingly different consequences for our understanding of responsibility than it is usually taken to have.

Discussion | Transfiguring Practices


More and more, designers are designing businesses, services, policies, and emergent social forms, and the experiences that go with them. Along the way they are inventing new methods and tools, fundamentally altering how design is conceived. To mark the establishment of the new MFA in Transdisciplinary Design, the School of Design Strategies is presenting a lecture series that explores how design must shift in a world where the complexity and interconnectedness of people, infrastructures, networks, and economies challenge traditional disciplines. Transfiguring Practices considers such questions as: What are the pressures on design consultancies and businesses as the rules of the game are shifting in unpredictable ways? How are design-led businesses succeeding at defining new territories to work in and new ways of operating? Speakers include: Andrew Blauvelt, design director and curator, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Marije Vogelzang, eating designer, Principal, Proef and Studio Marije Vogelzang, Amsterdam.

Lecture | Can Islam Be French? Pluralism and Pragmatism in a Secularist State


John Bowen, Professor of Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis and author of Can Islam Be French? Pluralism and Pragmatism in a Secularist State, examines how French Muslims are fashioning new Islamic institutions and developing new ways of reasoning and teaching. He looks at some of the quite distinct ways in which mosques have connected with broader social and political forces, how Islamic educational entrepreneurs have fashioned niches for new forms of schooling, and how major Islamic public actors have set out a specifically French approach to religious norms. He argues that the particular ways in which Muslims have settled in France, and in which France governs religions, have created incentives for Muslims to develop new, pragmatic ways of thinking about religious issues in French society.

Lecture | The US Financial Culture — A Giant Ponzi Game?


It has become commonplace to complain that the meltdown of the financial market came as a surprise to almost everyone. The crash, starting in the US financial system, was huge and sudden, unprecedented, and the financial, economic and social fall-out affected the whole world. Many ask, why didn't anybody see it coming? In fact, many economists and commentators did see it coming; many observers predicted a financial meltdown of just the sort that occurred – starting in housing, then picking up speed as overleveraged financial firms went under, then screeching to the bottom as unregulated derivatives and other new and under or un-collateralized securities collapsed. What are the business culture features of the US financial sector and has the American financial culture, as the movie by Michael Moore, Capitalism: A Love Story suggest, followed a giant Ponzi game? The talk will deal with the rise of such culture of finance, its crisis and the current efforts to reform it. Willi Semmler, Professor at the Department of Economics at the The New School for Social Research, New York. He is author or co-author of more than 85 articles in international journals and is author or co-author of 11 books. He is member of the New York Academy of Sciences and has been a visitor of Columbia University and Stanford University and the Cepremap in Paris.
