Lecture | Fighting for Freedom in the Mediterranean: Italian International Armed Volunteers in Greece in 1897


A lecture by Gilles Pécout, Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris. From the middle of the 1890s, international opinion was mobilized around the question of Crete, then an Ottoman province whose Greek majority sought union with Greece. There was a call for international philhellenic action by armed volunteers and this resulted in the massive participation of over 2000 Italians during the short Greco-Turkish war in the spring of 1897. The mobilization of volunteers took place in a context of a clear opposition between "people's diplomacy" and "cabinet diplomacy", between the "armed nation" and the "army of the nation". The lecture will look at the case of the Italian volunteers and will argue that the category of international political friendship can be used to shed light on this significant, if little known, Mediterranean epic.

Lecture | Mapping the Bookstore: Retail Cartographies in Antebellum Manhattan

But bookstores are also more than the sum of their books.

It's easier now than ever for a writer to succeed in pursuing writing projects in various mediums. But how do you decide what format is the best for your creative material?

Talk | Touchy Feely Tech: Coding for the Social and Emotional Body


A sidelong glance or a loving touch can express more than a thousand words. Dancing around the living room can make you just as happy as reading good news in an email or text. Yet we still leave the expressive social and emotional body out all too often when designing software and technology to support everyday living. In this talk, Katherine Isbister, director of the Game Innovation Lab at NYU, will present a series of evocative tech prototypes built at the NYU Game Innovation Lab aimed at better supporting the social and emotional aspects of being in the world and being with each other. These range from a public game that uses a surveillance camera to encourage collaboration and connection, to a door entry security system that lets you make rude gestures to open the door if that's what suits your fancy, to a dance battle game that uses mobile devices to get people looking at and moving with each other instead of being together alone.
