SUMMARY:ONLINE: Futures of the Past · First Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe program 2084: Futures Imagined from the South seeks to unleash\, promote and strengthen the imagination of futures as a capacity\, both individual and collective. It seeks to mobilize thinking about the future of Latin American cities from a multiplicity of voices and experiences\, with the aim of provoking conversations between diverse actors and thereby contributing to the collective construction of that future. \nThe program also intends to investigate and discuss how the future was thought in past times – what we call Futures of the Past\, and how this was reflected in different media: cinema\, literature\, plastic arts\, music\, urban plans\, popular culture and even different worldviews. \nIn this discussion\, the panelists will address the futures of the past from very different sources: popular imaginations of Buenos Aires at the beginning of the 20th century reflected in illustrated magazines\, contrasted with the imaginations of experts in urban planning; the conception of space-time in Quechua culture and how this questions linear views of time; and\, in a shift in focus\, the reimagining of the early 21st century from hypothetical interviews conducted in 2066. \n. \nPanelists\n• Alma Sarmiento\, Universidad del Rosario\, Bogotá\, Colombia\n• Enrique Rodriguez\, Icesi\, Cali\, Colombia\n• Martin Groissman\, University of Buenos Aires\, Buenos Aires\, Argentina\n• Margarita Gutman\, The New School\, New York\, United States \nModerator\n• Juan Manuel González\, The New School\, New York\, United States \n  \nThis webinar will be held through the Zoom and will be in Spanish. \nREGISTER HERE

DESCRIPTION:As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds\, billions of public monies are poured into high tech solutions for controlling its spread: research and development of vaccines\, treatment and diagnostics\, apps for contact tracing and tracking contagion\, and more.

SUMMARY:It's not $30.00 pesos\, it's 30 years
DESCRIPTION:An analysis of protest graphics and graffiti in Santiago\, Chile\, as a way to understand the country’s current crisis. \nPUBLIC LECTURE \nIn October 2019\, a minor subway fare hike of 30 pesos triggered a social revolution\, one marked by massive protests\, organized strikes\, and widespread violence and vandalism. The month-long wave of unrest shook Latin America’s “most stable” democracy to its core. \nIn this talk\, the speakers will discuss and show the protest graphics and graffiti covering the walls of Santiago in Chile as a way to understand the roots\, social configurations and demands of Chile’s contemporary crisis. Their analysis traces the neoliberalism born in the Pinochet era and the struggles over memory and memorial sites that continue to this day. \n  \nSpeakers \nTerri Gordon – Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at The New School. Her work explores the intersections of transitional justice\, post-authoritarian literature\, memory studies\, and gender studies. She is currently writing a book on the literature of memory in post-dictatorial Chile. \nEric Zolov – Associate Professor of Latin American history at Stony Brook University. In fall 2019 he was a Fulbright Scholar teaching at the Pontificia Universidad Católica in Santiago\, Chile. His most recent book is The Last Good Neighbor: Mexico in the Global Sixties (Duke\, 2020). \n  \nThursday\, March 5\, 2020\n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST\n66 W 12th St\nRoom A712\, Orozco Room\nNew York\, NY 10011\nUnited States\nView Map

SUMMARY:Research presentation · Sociotechnical Explorer: Digital Territorial Demands in Buenos Aires
DESCRIPTION:Seminar \nMargarita Gutman will present her work titled “Sociotechnical Explorer: Visual Tools for the Study of Territorial Demands that Emerge in the Digital Space (Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires 2000-2015)”.\nComments from Bill Morrish. \nTuesday\, March 3\, 2020\n3 to 5 pm\n66 W 12th Street\, room 716\nThe New School\, New York \nSociotechnical Explorer\nVisual Tools for the study of territorial demands that emerged in the public digital space (Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires 2000-2015)\nGutman\, Margarita. The New School – FADU\, UBA.\nNesprias\, Javier. FADU\, UBA.\nPuppo\, Ximena. FADU\, UBA. \n \nThis text presents and discusses the scope of a set of visual tools\, created to interpret complex data about territorial conflicts publicized by civil society through webs\, blogs\, and YouTube. We focus on demands sparked by problems in urban public and private space\, infrastructure and environment\, associated with hydric basins\, sub-basins\, and states of vulnerability and risk. These demands are mostly made visible by neighbors’ associations\, alternative local media\, NGOs\, political associations\, and individuals. \nThis work is part of a larger research on the convergence or divergence between disciplinary (urban plans) and extra-disciplinary (civil society proposals) urban anticipations. The images here presented are related to the latter and are centered on the demands publicized in the digital public space of the territory known as Cuenca Baja del Matanza Riachuelo (comprised of the municipalities of Avellaneda\, Lanús\, Lomas de Zamora\, La Matanza\, Comuna 4\, and Comuna 8 in C.A.B.A.). We assume that the discussion of demands mobilizes proposals and urban anticipations\, and that these show local variations. \nThe methodology for the identification\, processing\, and survey of more than 1\,000 items analyzed entails defining platforms\, search engines\, and analytical categories\, as well as designing interpretive matrices\, graphics\, and georeferenced maps for visualization\, interpretation\, and communication of the data. \nSpecifically\, the interpretative matrices are intended to systematize the information\, allowing to quantify thematic repetitions and register relevant indicators in the analyzed territories. \nThe graphics system allows looking at the information at different scales\, make visible the relationships and interferences among the categories of analysis\, and establish common patterns. The methodology used for the production of the graphics implies the identification of a series of operations that could be classified under the notion of schematization (Costa\, 1988)\, as these procedures translate information into a visual language\, or phenomena that is not visible by looking at reality.\nIn this work\, the tools for georeferencing and codification of information have generated new cartographies about the social demands that are outcast from institutional channels. These cartographies are constructed through the elaboration of thematic maps\, points distribution maps\, symbols maps\, and cartograms\, making possible the comparison of the registered cases with the territory captured by digital cartographies in Google-Google Maps\, Google Street View- understood as a proxy for the “formal city”. \nThe categories of analysis allowed to identify three main problems mobilizing the conflicts: “environmental”\, “infrastructure and amenities”\, and “public and private urban space”\, with different levels of preponderance in each of the analyzed municipalities and communes. The environmental problems are related to the basins\, hydric sub-basins\, and water streams both through underground pipes and in the open. The water streams that are often out of sight from civil society emerge in an alternative and digital space. \nKey words: data visualization / knowledge and image generation / diagrams\, figures\, tables / interpretive schemes / maps.

SUMMARY:Seminar · A Green New Deal to Latin America: Challenges to Brazil
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will discuss the political and economic challenges to implement a Green New Deal in Latin America and in the US. \nAbout this Event\nClimate change is a global phenomenon and demands policy coordination between scholars and policy makers worldwide. Brazil is the 7th largest GHG emitter in the world and the US is the 2nd largest emitter. Although the main emission sources and the challenges differ between those countries\, the solutions should have synergies and follow similar solutions while\, the political movements should cooperate globally. \nIn the US\, we already observe a societal effort towards the energy transition. The US Green New Deal (GND) was established as a program and political movement based on a strong interdisciplinary academic background\, including natural sciences\, sociology\, politics and economics and the Modern Money Theory. In Brazil\, the investment in new renewable energy has increased since 2009. In 2018\, 82% of the electricity was generated by renewable sources. An effort is needed to increase that share\, improve energy efficiency and tackle the amazon increasing deforestation rates. \nThe urgent need of a green economy is also linked to the fight against social inequalities and unemployment. Brazil is now living one of its worst social and economic crisis in history\, and the social claims may be more than ever associated to environmental claims towards a more equitable and prosperous economy. In that sense\, social struggles are part of the debate around a Global Green New Deal. It demands an active State\, regulation and public investments. \nThis seminar will discuss the political and economic challenges to implement a Green New Deal in Latin America and in the US\, comparing the case of Brazil and of the US. The debate is also around how to politically reorganize progressive movements towards an equal and sustainable development. \nSpeakers:\nJaques Wagner (Senator – Brazil): VP for the senate environmental commission in Brazil\, former governor of the State of Bahia and ministry of State during Lula and Dilma governments. \nStephanie Kelton (Stony Brook University): Professor of economics and public policy at Stony Brook University\, Senior economic advisor for Bernie 2020\, author of the book “The Deficit Myth”. \nDaniel Aldana Cohen (University of Pensylvania): Professor of sociology at UPenn\, where he directs the Socio-spatial Climate Collaborative. He coauthored the book “A Planet to Win: why we need a Green New Deal”. \nRandall Wray (Levy Institute): Professor of economics at the Bard College and senior scholar at the Levy Institute. Author from several books including “Modern Money Theory: a primer on Macroeconomics for Sovereign Monetary Systems” \n  \nWednesday\, February 5\, 2020\n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nWolff Conference Room at The New School\n6 E 16th St\, 11th Floor\,\nNew York\, NY 10003\,\nUnited States\nView Map \nThe event will be in English.\nAdmission is free\, but seating is limited.\nReservations are required\, please RSVP here \n  \nPhoto by Tony Perrottet: “Viewing Machine\,” by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson at Inhotim art park

SUMMARY:"Calle K"\, documentary screening and discussion with filmmakers
DESCRIPTION:Discussion with filmmakers:\nTitus Fossgard-Moser (Director)\nCaroline Moser (Social Anthropologist) \n‘Calle K’ (2019) is a documentary film that looks at the transformation over time of an illegal squatter settlement. In 1978 Titus Fossgard-Moser lived with his brother and filmmaker/anthropologist parents in the community of Indio Guayas\, then on the mangrove outskirts of Guayaquil\, Ecuador. The outcome\, the 1980 film ‘People of the Barrio’ portrayed the struggles of the community –– to survive and to get out of poverty. Led by a community leader Emma Torres they fought and negotiated with the state and other institutions to obtain basic physical and social infrastructure. \nIn May 2018\, forty years later\, Titus returned to Indio Guayas\, along with his mother\, to explore the changes in the community and to see what had happened to his old neighbors and their children. The resulting film ‘Calle K’ provides a unique visual narrative\, cross-cutting footage from ‘People of the Barrio’ with present day material to show the physical transformation of the barrio from a peripheral slum to a consolidated settlement. The film also recounts the remarkable inter-generational stories of three of the original families\, who share the stories of their present day lives and the challenges and opportunities of living in a changing 21st century city. \nFriday\, November 22nd\, 2019\n5pm – 7pm\nUniversity Center | The New School\n63 West 5th Avenue\, Room L105\nNew York\, NY\nMap of the event \nThe event will be in English\nAdmission is free\, but seating is limited.\nReservations are required\, please RSVP here.

SUMMARY:CONFERENCE | PARAGUAY: A 30-YEAR OLD DEMOCRACY\, PROGRESS AND CHALLENGES
DESCRIPTION:Public Conference \nSpeakers: \nLuis Ortiz\, Susana Sottoli and Javier Uriarte \nOver the last 30 years\, democracy as a social project in Paraguay became the focus of important efforts from all social and political actors. The relation between market freedom and social equality has been the source of heated debates in the process of reforming the different sectors of the country\, notably\, the educational system\, the economic structure\, and the government’s institutional design. Standing between two South American giants (Brazil and Argentina)\, Paraguay is a lesser known country. This event is a unique opportunity to gain familiarity with this country beyond its mere political history\, through the eyes and ideas of experts and Paraguayan intellectuals. The set of speakers offer a glimpse into the social foundation of Paraguayan political institutions\, the collective actions of different social actors\, the multiple historical and cultural mediations\, as well as the inevitable social contradictions that pose obstacles to the construction of the democratic regime in Paraguay. \nWelcoming remarks:\nMichael Cohen\, OLA Co-Director and SGPIA Professor on International Affairs\, The New School \nIntroduced by: \nJulio Cesar Arriola\, Permanent Representative of Paraguay to the United Nations. (TBD) \nSpeakers:\nLuis Ortiz\, PhD Sociology from Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS)\, OLA Visiting Fellow (2018-2019) \nSusana Sottoli\, PhD in Political Science from Heildelberg University\, UNICEF Deputy Director- Program Division at New York UN Headquarters \nJavier Uriarte\, PhD in Latin American Literature from New York University (NYU). Assistant Professor at Stony Brook University (SUNY) \nWEDNESDAY April 10th\, 2019 \n3:00pm – 5:00pm\n66 West 12th Street\, Room A712\, Orozco Room\nThe New School\, New York\nview the map \nThe event will be in English\nAdmission is free\, but seating is limited.

SUMMARY:Conference: Social Inequality and the Educational System in Paraguay
DESCRIPTION:The Observatory on Latin America organizes a seminar to discuss the research of Luis Ortiz\, OLA Visiting Scholar 2018-2019. Professor Ortiz holds a PhD in sociology from the School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in France and an MA in social sciences from FLACSO in Mexico. \nHis research focuses on the relationship between education\, social welfare\, and labor inequalities in Paraguay over the last 30 years. These changes have two main characteristics: the general increase in school enrollment of the Paraguayan population and the persistence of social inequality. Ortiz explains that an educational reform at the beginning of this period played an important role in expanding access to education for the entire population. However\, in the face of an increasing concentration of the income\, the promise of “equality of opportunities” is not being fulfilled. Acute social inequalities question the possibility of satisfying these demands\, which opens a series of questions about the relationship between education and the social structure in the country during the next decade. \nMore information about this event here.
