SUMMARY:Prof. Federico Luisetti- Master Class on 'Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Cosmic Crisis'
DESCRIPTION:Pier Paolo Pasolini has theorized the irrational\, oneiric\, elementary\, and barbaric elements of audiovisual communication. I will connect Pasolini’s reflection on cinema with his posthumous novel Petrolio\, and show how Petrolio’s “demoniac technique” addresses contemporary capitalism’s “cosmic crisis”. \n  \nFederico Luisetti is an Italian philosopher and professor of Italian Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the author of several books and essays on philosophy\, literature\, visual studies\, the Avant-gardes\, and political thought. He is currently writing a monograph on the states of nature of the Anthropocene. \nhttp://romancestudies.unc.edu/faculty/federico-luisetti/

SUMMARY:Sport & Exercise Monthly Seminar: "Representations of Rugby Union in the Professional Era" with Dr. Marcus Free
DESCRIPTION:Sport & Exercise Research Group \nMonthly Research Seminar\, Wednesday June 7\, 1pm\, Moore Institute \n  \n‘From there to here’: Narratives of Transition\, Migration and National Identity in Irish Media Representations of Rugby Union in the Professional Era \nDr. Marcus Free (Mary Immaculate College\, University of Limerick) \n  \n \n  \nIrish media representation of rugby union in the post-1995 professional era has become a vehicle for the rehearsal of fantasies and anxieties concerning national identity in the context of the Republic of Ireland as a neoliberal state.  Irish rugby’s reorganisation and competitive successes have facilitated comforting images and discourses of centralised management\, national cohesion and continuity while successive Irish governments’ neoliberal policies have focused on deregulation\, facilitating foreign direct investment and reduced social services spending.  Representations of advancements in rugby management and coaching intersected with pervasive managerialist discourses in Irish media and politics during and following the 2008 collapse of the Celtic Tiger boom\, but with a heavy stress on serving the ‘national interest’. Relatedly\, the targeted import of foreign players and coaches is often depicted as reflective of Irish rugby management’s successful negotiation of the neoliberal environment of contemporary European and world rugby. However\, the paper focuses on how recent concerns regarding the potential hindrance of ‘native’ player/coach development and the threat of economically driven out-migration evince anxieties concerning Irish rugby’s fragile economy and cultural identity that interconnect with broader concerns regarding Ireland’s enduring economic vulnerability following the 2008 crisis. \n  \nMarcus Free is a lecturer in Media and Communication Studies at Mary Immaculate College\, University of Limerick. He has taught previously at the Universities of Sunderland and Wolverhampton. His current research interests are in the fields of sport as lived culture\, the cultural politics of the representation of sport in film and popular media\, the psychodynamics of fans’ emotional and cultural investment in sport and sport media\, and memories of media and cultural consumption in the construction of autobiographical narrative. He is co-author (with John Hughson and David Inglis) of The Uses of Sport: a Critical Study (Routledge\, 2005)\, and has published many international journal articles and chapters in scholarly collections on constructions of gender\, race and national identity in sport\, sport fandom and sport media. He also published research on Irish migration\, gender and national identity in contemporary film and television drama.

SUMMARY:'Teaching Austerity' A talk by William (Bill) Taylor
DESCRIPTION:The Moore Institute in association with The School of Education are pleased to host a seminar on  Teaching austerity  by Professor William M (Bill) Taylor  \n \nAusterity is commonly associated with periods of restraint in government spending and the managed conservation of public resources during economic crises.  Government measures geared for austerity are typically contrast by policies seeking to stimulate economies\, increase consumption and gross domestic product.  Such was the aim of the Australian Government’s response to the GFC and its ‘Building the Education Revolution’ (BER) program.  This was an initiative that sought to stimulate the nation’s construction industry (a key indicator of economic prosperity) by massive investment in new school infrastructure.  This was capital spending that was also promised to ‘transform’ Australia’s education sector\, making it ‘better’ somehow and improve the lives (and competitiveness) of Australian pupils now and well into the future.  Cranking up the rhetoric on both sides of the austerity debate\, among those both for and against government interference in the economy and in what Margaret Thatcher famously wrote off as ‘society’ is a longstanding reactionary and moralising tendency that relates restraint to simpler times\, to ‘setting one’s house in order’ or to ‘living within one’s means’.  Many of us can remember hearing those lessons at home\, church and school. Austerity thus raises fundamental questions about the past and historical memory.  It is about who ‘we’ are or once were as a people and society\, about core beliefs and values. \nAs well as a brief foray into theory relating to the architecture of ‘enterprise culture’ (Mary Douglas)\, the seminar introduces a historical perspective\, recognising that ‘building austerity’ has appeared in multiple guises. Historically\, ‘austere’ practices are seen during times of conflict brought on by a range of crises\, including periods of spiritual\, demographic and geo-political turmoil (notably war).  This seminar outlines a parallel and at times intersecting history of practices and built environs designed for cultivating\, representing and governing parsimony of various kinds. The Quaker meeting house\, Ireland’s famine-era workhouses and the settings for ‘literary education’ (Ian Hunter) in Victorian era day schools are among a number of examples and opportunities to examine the architecture of public morality\, pedagogy and power. \nWilliam M. Taylor is Professor of Architecture at the University of Western Australia where he teaches architectural design and history and theory of the built environment. Research interests include architecture\, social and political theory. A list of his publications can be found here: http://www.web.uwa.edu.au/person/Bill.Taylor
