Author Reading | The Geopolitics of Spectacle: Space, Synecdoche, and the New Capitals of Asia


Spectacle has not been extensively theorized by geographers, despite their longstanding interest in its role in political, cultural, and urban geography. Focusing on statist spectacle, author Natalie Koch outlines a geographic approach that treats it as a political technology and asks: who uses it, for whom, and when and where? To move beyond the prevailing “then and there” approach to spectacle, Koch argues for a grounded approach to asking “when and where” spectacle unfolds that also accounts for the unspectacular spaces, effects, and experiences that represent spectacle’s Others.

Lecture | Putting Rohingya Voices Back into the Rohingya Crisis


In the wake of the ethnic cleansing of more than 700,000 Rohingya from Myanmar, various debates have proliferated over what the Rohingya want (their own state? safe return to Burma? relocation?) - and even 'who' they are (an indigenous ethnic group? 'Bengali' interlopers masquerading as Burmese autochthons? a religious minority?). This talk, based on on-going research in refugee camps in Cox Bazaar and with members of the Rohingya diaspora, considers Rohingya social and political identity from a number of locations and sociopolitical contexts, presenting historical, linguistic, and political data to complicate narratives advanced by disparate sides of the debate. In doing so, the talk reintroduces voices of non-elites - Rohingya widows forced to flee Burma; Rohingya youth attempting to 'pass' in Bangladeshi society - that have been excluded from many of these discussions. Speaker Elliott Prasse-Freeman is an Assistant Professor at National University of Singapore.

Yet this wildly innovative 1960s counterculture landmark, set in close proximity to writer Uwe Johnson's Upper West Side turf, remains one of the most tightly focused and insightful movies ever made about making movies. 75 minutes Directed by William Greaves

Lecture | Proust in a Soviet Prison Camp


Józef Czapski (1896-1993) lived many lives during his ninety-six years: student in Saint Petersburg during the Russian Revolution, painter in Paris in the roaring twenties, Polish reserve officer fighting the invading Nazis at the onset of World War II. When taken prisoner of war in a Soviet camp, and with nothing but memory to go on, he brought Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time to life for an audience of prison inmates. In a series of lectures, Czapski described the arc and import of Proust’s masterpiece, sketched major and minor characters in striking detail, and movingly evoked the work’s originality, depth, and beauty. Eric Karpeles has translated this remarkable feat of the critical imagination into English in addition to authoring the first biography of this towering figure. Anka Muhlstein joins Karpeles in a conversation about this singular project and astoundingly complex figure. With transator Erik Karpeles
