SUMMARY:The Political Aesthetics of Light - Brian Larkin\, Barnard College\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I use light as a way of opening up questions about the relation of aesthetics to racial capitalism. Drawing from research in Nigeria\, but thinking more generally\, I move between structures of political economy and the everyday techniques and experience of living with and in light. \nBrian Larkin is co-director of the Society of Fellows/Heyman Center for the Humanities and Professor of Anthropology at Barnard College\, Columbia University. His research\, broadly conceived\, examines the operations of media technologies in Nigeria and pushes into questions of infrastructure and urban space\, technology and breakdown\, and religion and media amongst other issues. He is the co-founder of the Center for Comparative Media at Columbia University. \nCo-sponsored by the Film and Media Studies Colloquium series\, the Orfalea Center for Global & International Studies\, Global Studies\, and the Department of History.
