SUMMARY:Iran #3037: Political Sexual Violence Under The Dictatorship
DESCRIPTION:The Observatory on Latin America and the Schools of Public Engagement invite you to: \nFilm Screening of Irán #3037 [violencia politico sexual en dictadura] (Iran #3037: Political Sexual Violence under the Dictatorship) \nIran #3037 was a clandestine center of detention and torture under the brutal regime of General Augusto Pinochet. Referred to as The Sexy Blindfold (La Venda Sexy) or the Discotheque\, it was known for sexual violation and abuse. Today it is a site of protest as activists call for the house to be transformed into a feminist memorial site. Iran #3037 powerfully dramatizes the situation of the family living in the house today and the struggle surrounding the site. The drama had a long run in Chile\, playing in the National Theater of Chile as part of a “Theater in Emergency” cycle. While the play deals with the past\, it hit a chord with the public as it seemed to dramatize the police violence surrounding the recent social uprising (estallido social) as well. \nPlease join us for the first film screening of Iran #3037 in the United States followed by a conversation with the director\, Patricia Artés Ibañez. The film is subtitled in English. \nPatricia Artés Ibañez is a Chilean researcher and feminist theater director. She holds a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies in Thought\, Culture and Society from the University of Valparaíso. She has co-authored an anthology of 20th-century women’s playwrights\, Evidencias\, las otras dramaturgias (Evidence: the Other Playwrights). \nThe event will be introduced by Terri Gordon\, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature\, Schools of Public Engagement. \nThis is an in-person event. \nWhere: Wollman Hall\, 65 W. 11 th Street\, Room B500\nDate and Time:\nThursday 13 October 2022\n6:00-8:00 pm (EST) \nREGISTER HERE \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please contact risac646@newschool.edu \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nPresented by the Observatory on Latin America and the Schools of Public Engagement. Co-sponsored by the School of Undergraduate Studies and the Gender and Sexualities Studies Institute of The New School and the Modern Languages and Literatures Department of Brooklyn College.

SUMMARY:Cities and Economic Inequality in Latin America
DESCRIPTION:This book examines trends and determinants of economic inequality in cities in Latin America\, the world’s most unequal region. It explores how the gap between the haves and the have nots manifests in every part of urban life – from housing to schooling to employment. It asks why some cities have higher inequality than others and what we can learn from these differences as we push back against inequality. \nThe book starts with reviewing the policies and forces that explain the rise and fall of inequality in Latin America since the 1990s and why progress in reducing inequality has stalled. It then focuses on Argentina’s cities and applies a set of quantitative tools to identify inequality determinants. It finds that intra-urban inequality generally mirrors national-level trends\, but local idiosyncrasies related to a city’s labor market\, informal employment\, and social protection systems matter. The book discusses the pitfalls of privatizing public services that turned access to water in metropolitan Buenos Aires more unequal. It explores the promises and unintended consequences of slum upgrading initiatives in Buenos Aires’ Villa 20. \nThe book presents lessons that can inform policies and practices in the region and beyond. Developing a strategy against inequality that incorporates local features and resists the temptation to rely on the “free market” for solutions to urban problems offers a powerful opportunity. Drawing from the field of economics and social and urban policy\, this book shows that the battle against inequality is not only won and lost in cities but also requires a uniquely public and urban response. As such\, it will be of interest to advanced students\, researchers\, and policymakers across development economics\, urban studies\, and Latin American studies. \n  \n\n\n\n\nWelcoming Remarks\nMary Watson\, Executive Dean\, Schools of Public Engagement \nDiscussants\nSanjay Reddy\, Chair of the Department of Economics\, The New School\nMarcela Melendez\, Chief Economist for Latin America\, UNDP\nMarcelo Medeiros\, Visiting Professor\, Columbia University \nThursday\, September 29th\, 2022\n6:30 pm to 8:00 pm (EST) \nWhere: Dorothy Hirshon Suite\nArnhold Hall\, room l203\, 2nd floor\n55 West 13th Street\, New York NY 10011 \nLena Simet is a scholar\, writer\, and researcher interested in cities\, urban poverty\, and intra-urban inequality. She is currently a senior researcher and advocate on poverty and inequality at Human Rights Watch. She received her PhD from The New School and lives in New York City. \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Observatory on Latin America of the Julien J.

SUMMARY:Book Launch · The Walls of Santiago
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in October 2019\, Chile was marked by protests and political upheaval\, as what began as civil disobedience transformed into a vast resistance movement. Throughout\, one of the most striking aspects of the protests was the murals\, graffiti\, and other political graphics that became ubiquitous in Chilean cities. \nIn this fascinating\, beautifully illustrated book\, Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric Zolov—who were in Santiago to witness and document the protests from their very beginnings—offer a vivid catalog of Chilean wall art\, along with reflections on its artistic antecedents\, the context of global protest movements\, and the long shadow cast by Chile’s authoritarian past. \nAs a result of the uprising\, Chile is now in the process of writing a new constitution\, and previous student leader Gabriel Boric has been elected as president. The Walls of Santiago provides a window into the origins of this profoundly democratic yet revolutionary process. \nIntroduction and welcoming remarks:\nMichael Cohen\, Director\, OLA\nMary Watson\, Executive Dean\, NSPE \nPanelists:\nTerri Gordon-Zolov\, Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs; Associate Professor of Comparative Literature\, The New School\nEric Zolov\, Professor of History\, Stony Brook University\nMarcial Godoy-Anativia\, Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics\, New York University\nJulia Foulkes\, Professor of History\, The New School\nNidhi Srinivas\, Associate Professor of Management\, The New School \nPresented by the Observatory on Latin America\, the Schools of Public Engagement\, and the School of Undergraduate Studies. \nDate and Time:\nThursday 5 May 2022\n6:00-8:00 pm (EST)\nAmphitheater 404\, Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Hall\n66 W. 12th street\nNew York\nNY\, 10011 \nThis is an in person event.\nAudience members must register for the event\, show proof of a full COVID-19 vaccination series (and booster if eligible)\, ID\, and remain masked at all times. \nPlease contact ola@newschool.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Futures of the Past · Second Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:In this second panel event\, members of the international research training group “Temporalities of Future” will present research on Latin American futures formulated in the past. \nThe Temporalities of Future group writes: “Our focus on the aspirations and anticipations of various actors who produce new temporalities of the future through constant interaction represents a novel approach which adds a much-needed perspective on subaltern and non-Western agency with regard to the future.”  \nThis echoes the 2084 Imagined Futures from the South program’s call to action:  “the future belongs to those who imagine it… Let’s Occupy the Future!”  \n  \nPanelists:   \nStefan Rinke\, Profesor and speaker\, Temporalities of Future\, Institute for Latin American Studies\, Freie Universität Berlin \nJosé Francisco Hernández Reyes\, PhD candidate\, History.

To understand and cope with these problems requires analysis at multiple scales and knowledges\, management and public policies. \nFollowing the interdisciplinary tradition of urban studies\, the authors of this book articulate knowledge related to social dynamics\, typical of the social and anthropological sciences\, with that knowledge enunciated by the design disciplines dealing with urban physical space. \nAuthors\nAndrea Arosa – Adriana Clemente – José Dadón – Javier Fernández Castro – Verónica Gallardo – Margarita Gutman- Mónica Lacarrieu – Vanesa Marazzi – Ariel Misuraca – Javier Nesprías – Miguel Pich-Aguilera – Ariel Pradelli – Ximena Puppo – Domingo Risso Patron – Juan Pablo Scaglia – Matías Torres – Laura Wainer \nPIUBAMAS\nINTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAM\nOF THE UNIVERSITY OF BUENOS AIRES\nON SOCIAL MARGINALITIES \nJoin us to share the comments of two renowned representatives of the academic and political field of Argentina: \nRoberto Doberti\, PHDi in Architecture\, National University of Rosario and Architect\, University of Buenos Aires. He is currently Professor Emeritus of the University of Buenos Aires. He has created and directed\, among others\, the Institute of Human Spatiality and the Doctoral Program at the Faculty of Architecture\, Design and Urbanism\, University of Buenos Aires\, and the Latin American Association for Theory of Inhabiting. \nAntonio Colicigno\, Master in Design and Management of Social Programs\, FLACSO and Specialist in Educational Dimension in Social Projects\, Loyola University\, USA and Center for Research and Development of Education CIDE\, Santiago de Chile.

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

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: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
