SUMMARY:"Is this nationalism or some new horror?" Gargi Bhattacharyya and Sivamohan Valluvan on borders and labour in the emerging future
DESCRIPTION:“Is this nationalism or some new horror?” Gargi Bhattacharyya and Sivamohan Valluvan on borders and labour in the emerging future\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first conversation in a three-part series on Resisting Nationalism is with Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya. Via their recently published The Futures of Racial Capitalism\, Gargi will explore with Vallu the place but also limits of nationalism in shaping emergent postliberal regimes of migrant labour governance and disposability. The nationalisms multiplying across the world\, cutting across conventional Global South-Global North geographies\, will be explored here. Intriguingly\, it is often the nationalist frameworks of bordering and labour management as innovated in other parts of the word (East Asia\, the Gulf States) that is steadily being exported to Britain. Probing questions will also be explored about how some of these new realities operate beyond the idea of nation\, allowing for transnational and tech-enabled infrastructures that organise stratified labour pools of disposable exploitation.PART OF THE RESISTING NATIONALISM SERIES \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: Walking The Streets/Walking The Projects: OWEN HATHERLEY in conversation with LAURA GRACE FORD
DESCRIPTION:Housmans are delighted to welcome Owen Hatherley and Laura Grace Ford to the shop to celebrate the publication of Owen’s latest book: ‘Walking The Streets/Walking The Projects.’ \n\n\n\nThese are two of our most beloved\, and exciting\, writers working at the thresholds of psychogeography\, urban theory and radical thought. So we are particularly excited to be able to get them in conversation at Housmans. Advance booking strongly recommended.  \n\n\n\nAbout the book: \n\n\n\nA walk through the remnants of a social democratic America\, and an argument about its future.In the 1960s\, a novel ideology about cities\, and what was best for them\, emerged in New York. Pushing against the state planning of the time\, it held that cities were at their best when they were driven from the bottom-up and when organic\, unplanned processes were allowed to run their course\, in a spontaneous “ballet of the street”. Cities were at their worst\, however\, when the state stepped in\, demolishing lively old neighbourhoods and erecting giant\, sterile\, empty “projects”. This book uses the method of this ideology ― walking ― to test how true it actually is about the “capital of the twentieth century”\, New York City\, with a brief interlude in the capital\, Washington DC.The “projects” that are walked in this book range from cultural complexes in Manhattan to New Deal-era public housing developments in Brooklyn\, Harlem and Queens\, from the social experiment of Roosevelt Island to Communist housing co-operatives in the Bronx\, from the union-driven rebuilding of the Lower East Side to DC’s magnificent Metro. For all their many flaws\, they prove that Americans could\, in fact\, plan and build fragments of a better society\, which survive and sometimes thrive today in one of the unequal places on earth. Walking the Streets/Walking the Projects takes a hard look at these enclaves\, and asks what a new generation of American socialists might be able to learn from them. \n\n\n\nOur Speakers:  \n\n\n\nOwen Hatherley writes regularly on aesthetics and politics for\, among others\, the Architectural Review\, the Calvert Journal\, Dezeen\, the Guardian\, Jacobin\, the London Review of Books and New Humanist. He was culture editor at Tribune magazine and is the author of several books. \n\n\n\nLaura Grace Ford draws on psychogeography\, hauntology and the dérive\, her work interrogates the psychic contours of urban space with a particular focus on subcultural scenes\, marginal political networks and UK club culture. In 2011 Ford’s zine Savage Messiah\, was published Verso and reissued in 2020. Part fragmented novel\, part collage\, the book is both a polemic against the marginalisation of the city’s working class and an exploration of the cracks that open up in urban space. Ford’s practice spans painting\, drawing\, installation\, sound and publishing\, with an eye on the city’s emotional shifts. Ford’s work is held in public collections and is on the UK GCSE and A level syllabus. She has contributed to many publications including The White Review\, Frieze\, Art Review\, Afterall and Dazed\, as well as numerous academic journals. She exhibits and teaches internationally\, and is currently a Somerset House Studios resident. \n\n\n\nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \n\n\n\nIf you choose book + event entry\, your copy of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or have it delivered\, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com. \n\n\n\nDoors Open at 7pm\, Event Starts 7:30 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:'Empire\, Decline and the Fate of English Nationalism' Sivamohan Valluvan in conversation with Kojo Koram on his book 'Uncommon Wealth'.     
DESCRIPTION:‘Empire\, Decline and the Fate of English Nationalism’ Sivamohan Valluvan in conversation with Kojo Koram on his book ‘Uncommon Wealth’.     \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the second conversation in a three-part series on Resisting Nationalism Kojo and Vallu will explore contemporary English nationalism’s morose impasse\, an impasse that squats in the legacies of Empire but also bequeaths to its Establishment a particularly anachronistic worldview.  \n\n\n\nVia Kojo’s book\, alongside revisiting thinkers like Tom Nairn and Paul Gilroy\, the conversation will chart the melancholic nationalism that has taken England’s political culture hostage.  \n\n\n\nThe conversation will address how hubristic delusions are coupled to moribund fixations with English grievance and victimhood – all of which play upon colonial legacies but also weaken the country’s ability to adjust to the rise of new global powers and wider ongoing reconfigurations in the global economy. \n\n\n\nPART OF THE RESISTING NATIONALISM SERIES \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading...
