Session Three: Hegemony and Resistance
Conversations on Urban Revolution Inspired by Henri Lefebvre
Monday 09 April, 2012
5pm - 7am, $0/Rsvp
NYU Institute for Public Knowledge
20 Cooper Square, Floor 5, Conference Room
In the third session of "Connecting Concrete and Abstract: Conversations on Urban Revolution Inspired by Henri Lefebvre", we discuss "Hegemony and Resistance."
Guest Participants:
Stefan Kipfer, Professor of Environmental Studies, York University
René Francisco Poitevin, Assistant Professor, Gallatin School, NYU
Throughout spring 2012 the Institute for Public Knowledge and the Program in Metropolitan Studies at NYU are staging conversations between leading scholars of the state, space, and everyday life. Despite the transformations of the past 40 years, despite the difficulty of Lefebvre's thought, these scholars demonstrate the renewed relevance of an analysis of urban revolution.
The conversations will be wide-ranging and interdisciplinary, like Lefebvre's oeuvre itself. They will be participatory and open-ended, and particularly oriented toward scholars and activists with only a passing familiarity with Lefebvre's work but a passion for understanding and engaging in radical change.
