Special Lecture and Seminar: Arts and Culture in the Age of Globalization<\/span>
\n<\/span>With
\nProfessor Jodi Dean<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\nWe are pleased to announce that Professor Jodi Dean (Hobart and William Smith Colleges in New York, USA), a prominent scholar who is actively engaged in politics and culture in network society, will deliver a special lecture and seminar at Graduate School of Global Arts (GA), Tokyo University of the Arts.<\/p>\n
Professor Jodi Dean has discussed politics and capitalism in the age of digital media, based on political theories, psychoanalysis, post-structuralism, post-modernism and feminism. Her book, The Communist Horizon <\/em>(2012, Verso), which Slavoj Zizek described as \u2018what everyone engaged in today\u2019s struggle for emancipation needs\u2019, has been important in critical theory as it brilliantly examines the possibilities of communism after the end of the Cold War. The latest publication Crowds and Party<\/em> (2016 Verso) is increasingly influential in political theories as well as practices, as it demonstrates the potential of the form of party and class struggle in the Internet era.<\/p>\nIn this program in Tokyo, Professor Jodi Dean delivers a public lecture entitled \u2018Communicative Capitalism:\u00a0 What selfies and emojis teach us about communication today\u2019 on 22nd June and a special seminar \u2018Liberating the Museum in the Anthropocene: Lessons from The Natural History Museum\u2019 on 26th.<\/p>\n

\nSpecial Lecture<\/span>
\nCommunicative Capitalism:
\nWhat Selfies and Emojis Teach Us about Communication Today<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nToday we speak with images. Images of others communicate our own feelings. This lecture analyzes this new blending of image and speech as \u201csecondary visuality.\u201d It places secondary visuality within the larger context of \u201ccommunicative capitalism,\u201d today\u2019s new form of capitalism that has changed both production and communication. Against those who dismiss selfies as millennial narcissism, Jodi Dean argues that they suggest the potential of a new appreciation for collectivity.<\/p>\n
