Tour | Chelsea and the High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to city markets.

When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park. This tour takes place Monday and Fridays at 6pm.

Lecture | Left Governmentality and Radical Democracy in Greece: The SYRIZA Problem


Stathis Gourgouris delivers this talk. The SYRIZA experience in Greece raises all kinds of questions as to whether a government of the Left is feasible in today's world, when it has to face simultaneously the externally imposed regime of neoliberal economics and the internal establishment of entrenched clientelist networks. Using Greece as a case study, the point is to think together about what might the realities and potentialities of left governmentality.

Lecture | The Era of the Witness is Over: Thoughts on a Left Critique of Humanitarianism


An enormous amount of ink has been spilled in recent years on the history of human rights and humanitarianism, but most of this work focuses on the legal and political dimensions of international law and humanitarian organizations. Very little of this literature addresses the new language of compassion that Didier Fassin claims now organizes our lives under the “humanitarian state.” This talk will outline historical frameworks for the emergence and prevalence of the vocabulary of trauma and injury, and will synthesize and assess arguments about the so-called humanitarian state, exploring their contributions to and limitations on our understanding of the relationship between neoliberalism and the creation of ‘global humanity.’ Lecturer Carolyn J. Dean is Professor of History and French at Yale University. She is the author of five books, most recently The Fragility of Empathy after the Holocaust (Cornell, 2004) and Aversion and Erasure: The Fate of the Victim after the Holocaust (Cornell, 2010). She is now working on a history of the secular “witness” since the Great War.

Lecture | The Good Listener: Behavioral Neuroscience Considers the Perception of Speech


Our talkative species occupies much of our time each day in conversation. Historical views of this loquaciousness often expressed singular interest in personal motive, asking: What could individuals hope to achieve with so much talk? How do aims shape expressions? It is hardly surprising that such abstract concerns were difficult to satisfy. In our technical era, scrutiny has turned to mechanism, and the psychological focus has been placed on cognitive resources: What must interlocutors know and be able to do in order to converse? Lecturer Robert Remez is Professor of Psychology. A native New Yorker, he was a Predoctoral Research Trainee at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven, and received the doctorate in 1978 from the University of Connecticut. This lecture is in three parts: Monday November 9, Monday November 16, and Monday November 23.
