Contributor(s): Assembly SE8 , Atelier d'architecture autogérée , Public Works Group | With an evening of provocations and discussion, Theatrum Mundi launched Designing the Urban Commons, an ideas competition calling for new ways to stimulate the city’s public and collective life. Three groups engaged in live projects in London and Paris presented their work, describing how commoning emerges through the spaces they have created or occupied and also examining the issues and opportunities presented by commons as an approach to urban design. The competition brief, which also went live on 25th March, asked for existing land, architecture, or infrastructures in neighbourhoods across London to be re-imagined as common spaces, or for new urban commons to be carved out in the city or online. Commons are not static pieces of architecture. We are seeking designs through which the social act of commoning could take shape, by enabling citizens to co-produce urban resources from culture & knowledge to housing, energy or democratic processes.…

How to Run a Government 1:13:09

10 years پیش1:13:09

1:13:09

Contributor(s): Sir Michael Barber | Billions of citizens around the world are frustrated with their governments. Political leaders struggle to honour their promises and officials find it near impossible to translate ideas into action. The result? High taxes, but poor outcomes. Cynicism not just with government but with the political process. Why is this? How could this vicious spiral be reversed? In his new book, How to Run A Government so that citizens benefit and taxpayers don't go crazy, due to be launched on 26 March, Michael Barber draws on his wealth of experience of working for and with government leaders the world over to present a blueprint for how to run a government. Using contemporary cases from every continent and classic examples from history, he makes a compelling case for a new approach. From Downing Street to Punjab, Charles I to Churchill, this book shows that the solution is less about ideology and more about sustained priorities, solving problems as they arise and not giving up when the going gets tough. By applying the lessons set out in the eight chapters of the book, governments of all political persuasions can dramatically enhance their capacity to deliver results and control costs, thus delighting citizens rather than driving them crazy. Sir Michael Barber (@michaelbarber9) is the co-founder of Delivery Associates and Chief Education Advisor at Pearson. Over the last two decades he has worked on government and public service reform in more than 50 countries. From 2001 to 2005 he was the first Head of the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit in the UK. His previous books include Instruction to Deliver: Fighting to Transform Britain's Public Services. Sir Jeremy Heywood is Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Home Civil Service.

1:22:22

Contributor(s): Professor Peter Boxall, Jennie Erdal, Andrew O’Hagan | Is the 'novel of ideas' an outdated genre or are we witnessing its resurgence? What answers can it offer to twenty-first-century questions? In this panel three speakers will discuss examples of the 'novel of ideas' and assess the genre's contemporary relevance. Peter Boxall is Professor of English and Deputy Head of the School of English at the University of Sussex. His research has focused on the relationship between aesthetics and politics in modernist and contemporary writing, and more recently on the longer history of the novel. He has written books on Samuel Beckett and Don DeLillo, and a wide ranging book on the contemporary novel, entitled Twenty-First-Century Fiction. He is currently writing a book entitled The Value of the Novel, for Cambridge University Press (due out in 2015), and in the early stages of a new project on the history of the novel, entitled The Prosthetic Imagination: A History of the Novel as Artificial Life. Jennie Erdal worked in literary publishing for many years as an editor and translator. At Quartet Books she managed the Russian list, and in the mid-eighties she started Quartet Encounters, an imprint that focused on literature in translation. For much of this time she was also the ghostwriter of a London publisher, who figured prominently in her subsequent memoir, Ghosting: A Double Life which became an international bestseller. In 2012 she published The Missing Shade of Blue, which was long listed for the 2013 Commonwealth Book Prize. Jennie Erdal has appeared in Granta magazine and is a regular contributor of features and reviews for the arts pages of the Financial Times and other publications.

Contributor(s): Ahmad Zakii Anwar, Nickson Fong, Yang-May Ooi | This year the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) becomes an integrated economic community. The year caps five decades of foundation and development since the region's formal independence from the West. What are the creative voices contending for the soul of a region where freedom, economic prosperity, civil society, and political maturity continue to evolve in unexpected ways? What forces of rebellion drive the soul of the individual in those societies where economic success - arguably the greatest found in newly-independent states in all human history - has raced ahead of other dimensions of development in the human spirit? What forces drive that spiritual and artistic development in the region more generally? How do these diverge from those along the Trans-Atlantic Axis? What is the culture that sits comfortably with Southeast Asia's place in the global economy? Ahmad Zakii Anwar is a well-known Malaysian ‘urban realist’ artist. His preoccupation with the spiritual or metaphysical aspects of urban life have marked his fine art practice. Nickson Fong is a Producer/Director and the CEO and Founder of Egg Story Studios. He won the Academy Award for Scientific and Technical Achievement 2013. Yang-May Ooi (@StoryGuru_UK) is an award-winning TEDx speaker, bestselling author and story performer.

Literary Festival 2015: Communicating Chronic Pain 1:33:33

1:33:33

Contributor(s): Dr Yasmin Gunaratnam, Dr Deborah Padfield, Jude Rosen | Pain is notoriously hard to communicate to others. Scholars have debated the relationship between pain and language: does pain require a shared language and common understanding to be explicable, or does hearing about the pain of others always entail doubt? What kinds of communication best enable us to express and hear about pain? On what foundations can we build understanding? This session will explore the capacities of stories, poems and photographs as forms of pain communication, and the possible relations between them. Yasmin Gunaratnam is Senior Lecturer in the Sociology Department at Goldsmiths College, University of London. She has a specialist interest in narrative and stories and writes short stories and poems and her recent research includes a British Academy Fellowship on the palliative care philosophy of ‘total pain’. Yasmin’s latest book Death and the Migrant brings together her interest in stories with her sociological research on transnational dying and intercultural care. Her co-edited collection Narrative and Stories in Care was shortlisted and ‘highly commended’ in the British Medical Association Book Awards 2010. Deborah Padfield is a visual artist specialising in lens based media and inter-disciplinary practice and research within Fine Art and Medicine. She is currently Research Associate at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL and Artist in Residence at the Eastman Dental Hospital. She has collaborated extensively with clinicians and patients exploring the value of visual images to clinician-patient interactions and the communication of pain. In 2001 her work with Dr Charles Pither and staff and patients from INPUT Pain Management Unit, St Thomas’ Hospital, led to a touring exhibition, pilot study and book, Perceptions of Pain. Her collaboration with Professor Joanna Zakrzewska and facial pain clinicians and patients from UCLH led to several exhibitions, symposia and the current UCL CHIRP funded project Pain: speaking the threshold. She has exhibited widely including the National Portrait Gallery, the Wellcome Trust and the Science Museum. She is the winner of several awards including the Sciart Research Award and British Pain Society Artist of the Year 2012. Jude Rosen is a poet, translator and independent researcher in urban culture, policy, planning and citizenship and former university lecturer in politics at UCL until ill-health retirement. Her book of poems, A Small Gateway, was published by Hearing Eye in 2009, addressing the scars of history and displacement in shaping personal and collective identity, memory and art. The poem Crohn Heroine formed the backdrop to the hospital video produced by Richard Crow for desperate optimists and was later used in the Communicating Chronic Pain workshop on sound. In her current work she has been experimenting with a walking and narrative-based poetic practice writing from field notes and observation of resonant places and routes, gathering oral histories and scoring the voices of former workers, displaced people and inhabitants of the marshes and Olympic borderlands of East London as an act of retrieval, reclaiming the space, its peoples and history. Elena Gonzalez-Polledo is Course Tutor in the Department of Methodology. Together with colleagues, she recently completed the ESRC-NCRM funded project Communicating Chronic Pain, which explored the use of arts-based and non-verbal methods for communicating about pain. The Department of Methodology (@MethodologyLSE) provides courses for PhD and MSc students and LSE staff in the design of social research and in qualitative and quantitative analysis, and hosts degree programmes for MSc Social Research Methods and MPhil/PhD in Social Research Methods.

Contributor(s): Dr Matthew Griffiths, Gaia Vince, Dr Kathryn Yusoff | The controversial designation “Anthropocene” names a geological epoch in which the planet has been irrevocably changed by human activity. In this panel, three thinkers consider the ways in which the Anthropocene requires us to reconsider both human self-identity and the human capacity for creation and destruction.

Matthew Griffiths has recently completed a PhD at Durham University on the poetics of climate change. He has published articles on T. S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens and Basil Bunting, as well as a pamphlet of his own poetry, How to be Late, and a science fiction novel, The Weather on Versimmon.

Contributor(s): Jonathan Gibbs | In this creative writing workshop we will be looking at the impulse to write, when they are so many reasons and excuses not to, in the hope that exposing the foundations of the creative act can inform the writer's practice in the here and now.

Jonathan Gibbs's novel, Randall, or The Painted Grape, about the London art world and the Young British Artists, is published by Galley Beggar Press. His short fiction has been published in Lighthouse, The Best British Short Stories 2014 and The South Circular and by The White Review (where his story The Story I'm Thinking Of was shortlisted for the 2013 White Review Prize).

Contributor(s): Professor Ian Bostridge, Dr Armand D’Angour, Professor Fiona Sampson | This discussion explores the links between music and poetry and how much each art form contributes to the other, as well as what common features these art forms share. Common foundations include public performance and private listening, abstract patterns, rhythm, register, tone, breathing and the emergence of tight form from apparently limitless possibility. But music and poetry are partially distinct in the imaginative light they shine, and the panel also discuss how successfully the two art forms complement one another in some of the greatest unions of music and poetry from Homer’s Iliad to Schubert’s Lieder and Britten’s War Requiem. Ian Bostridge (@Ianbostridge) is a tenor and Humanitas Professor of Classical Music at the University of Oxford. Ian’s international recital career has won wide acclaim for his performances as an opera and lieder singer.

Literary Festival 2015: A Magna Carta for Humanity: homing in on human rights 1:28:13

10 years پیش1:28:13

1:28:13

Contributor(s): Professor Francesca Klug | The Magna Carta, sealed in 1215, has come to stand for the rule of law, curbs on executive power and the freedom to enjoy basic liberties. When the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations in 1948, it was heralded as 'a Magna Carta for all human kind'. How has the Magna Carta, initially considered a failure, achieved such iconic status? And can how those who proudly commemorate its 800th year simultaneously pledge to repeal the more modern laws which seek to protect our fundamental rights and freedoms? In A Magna Carta for Humanity: homing in on human rights, published by Routledge to coincide with the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta in June 2015, Francesca Klug will argue that the reasons given for opposing the UKs Human Rights Act are very similar to the reasons that the Magna Carta has stayed relevant for eight centuries. Features that are lauded as ‘totemic’ when applied to the Magna Carta are condemned as ‘dangerous’ when applied to contemporary human rights laws. Are human rights palatable in a mature democracy only as long as they are contained in an ancient document that no longer has any direct legal impact? Are they useful only as a benchmark by which to judge the rest of the world, especially our enemies or rivals, but dangerous when applied to us? Join us for an enlightening discussion, in which Professors Klug and Gearty map the connections between the Magna Carta and Human Rights Act, explore the ethic behind universal human rights and deconstruct the current debate in the UK on the future of human rights protection.

Contributor(s): Professor Norman Doidge | In his new book The Brain’s Way of Healing, Norman Doidge shows the astonishing advances of neuroplasticity being used to improve, and even cure, many prevalent brain problems previously thought to be incurable or irreversible. Doidge describes a series of remarkable recoveries using natural, non-invasive techniques: cases where sounds played into the ear successfully treat autism, learning disorders and attention deficit in children; gentle electrical stimulators tingling on the tongue are used to reverse symptoms of multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s. Finally, he reveals simple methods proven to reduce the risk of dementia by 60%. Using moving human stories to present cutting-edge science, Doidge illustrates the principles that everyone can apply to improve their brain’s performance and health. Norman Doidge is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and New York Times bestselling author. His book The Brain That Changes Itself has sold over a million copies worldwide and was chosen by the Dana Foundation's journal Cerebrum as the best general book ever written on the brain.

Contributor(s): Professor Damian Chalmers, Professor Carol Harlow, Dr Jan Komarek, Dr Jo Eric Khushal Murkens | Has the European Union reached the end of the road in the UK? The country has taken on a competence review aimed at deciding exactly what needs to be European and what is best left at - or taken - home. Whatever the outcome of the election in May 2015, the subject of EU renegotiation is unlikely to go away. Lurking in the background is the spectre of an IN/OUT referendum which may become inevitable under the pressure of events. What are the legal implications of any large-scale political movement away from the EU? Can 'Europe' be resisted short of withdrawal? Is withdrawal legally possible? How many of the laws we take for granted are rooted in EU initiatives that would need to be unpicked? What happens to Scotland and the rest of the non-English UK?

Syria and the Future of the State Order in the Levant 1:31:58

1:31:58

Contributor(s): Steven Heydemann | As the Syrian conflict nears its fourth anniversary, it poses a growing threat to the stability of the state order in the Levant and Arab East. Violence has spilled across all of Syria’s borders, fuelled by regional and international involvement on all sides of the conflict. Massive refugee flows and population displacements strain the capacity of every neighbouring state. The rise of ISIS poses a direct challenge to the integrity and legitimacy of existing states: its forces have already erased large areas of the Syrian-Iraqi border. Kurdish aspirations for nationhood now appear more attainable than at any time since the rise of Kurdish national movements. The region has not experienced turmoil on this scale for almost a century. In this lecture, Steven Heydemann argues that the widespread violence now gripping the Levant and Arab East has a logic and structure that can shed light on its underlying dynamics, its drivers, and its possible effects. Steven Heydemann serves as the vice president of Applied Research on Conflict at USIP. Heydemann is a political scientist who specializes in the comparative politics and the political economy of the Middle East, with a particular focus on Syria.

Can Matthew Arnold, TS Eliot and FR Leavis sleep well in their graves? Has the era of dumbing down to ' widen access ' run its course? Why shouldn't ALL schoolchildren be asked to grapple with the 'difficult' texts, rich canvases or musical scores of our western inheritance? Why shouldn't everyone have the chance to join the 'elite'? Sarah Churchwell is Professor of American Literature and Public Understanding of the Humanities at UEA.

Is money becoming de-anonymised, and if so, should we care? Is the decline of cash a moment of renewal in our relationship with money, or a threat to the freedom that has been central to its use?

We flatter ourselves about the nature of free will and yet the most enormous forces - biological, physical, metaphysical - constrain our every action. Many writers and intellectuals have always understood this, but instead of embracing our condition we battle against it, with everyone from world conquerors to modern scientists dreaming of a 'human dominion' almost comically at odds with our true state. John Gray is the author of a number of highly regarded books including False Dawn, Straw Dogs and most recently The Silence of Animals. He has taught at Oxford, Harvard, Yale and LSE.

Contributor(s): Herbert Girardet | Prof. Herbert Girardet’s public lecture was based on his new book, Creating Regenerative Cities, published by Routledge in October 2014. Is an urbanising world a ‘triumph of the city’, or an environmental tragedy in the making? He argued for a fundamental conceptual shift in the way we organise our urban systems, and for thinking and acting beyond ‘sustainable development’. In Girardet’s view large modern cities have effectively tried to declare their independence from nature. We tend to see cities as centres of the universe rather than as appendages of ecosystems and climate systems. How can we assure that modern cities develop a regenerative relationship to the living world on whose health they ultimately depend? Girardet is a prolific author, speaker and consultant.

Contributor(s): Dr Sarah Carr, Paul Farmer, Nathan Filer, Dr John McGowan | How mental illness is portrayed in art, literature and on TV can have a positive or negative effect on how the public perceives mental ill health.

Middle East Border Geopolitics: established and emerging themes 1:19:00

Contributor(s): Dr Richard Schofield | In trying to make sense of the spontaneous appearance of new borderland spatialities in Syria and Iraq, as well as recent instances of formal state boundary-making such as the Abyei arbitration, Richard Schofield asks what constitutes a borderland in the Middle East. Addressing both historical and contemporary concerns, with notable attention being paid to Iran-Iraq and Saudi-Yemen, he argues that developing a more overtly multidisciplinary basis for the study of contested borders will best aid their appreciation and understanding. Richard Schofield is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geography at King's College London and founder of the highly-rated Geopolitics (and International Boundaries) journal. Richard’s major study Arabian Boundaries: New Documents, 1966-1975 was released in 2009-10 by Cambridge University Press in 18 volumes.

Contributor(s): Professor Michael Cox | In 1895 the LSE was born with little to suggest that it would one day become one of the most influential and respected universities in the world. But how did the "School" come into being in the first place? What role did key figures like Sidney and Beatrice Webb play? What was their vision? Was it ever realized? And how did this relatively small, somewhat ill-housed, often poorly resourced, and frequently much-criticized institution that many saw as the enemy of the established order, come to play such a key role in British and global politics over the next century? Michael Cox is Director of LSE IDEAS and Professor of International Relations at LSE. Sue Donnelly is LSE Archivist. An Odd Adventure! Ever wanted to know where LSE first opened its doors, when International Relations arrived at LSE and who was LSE’S first black academic? Find out more about these and other questions in the history of LSE pop up exhibition which will be in the NAB throughout the Literary Festival.

Literary Festival 2015: Foundations of Faith 57:41

Contributor(s): Sarah Perry, Professor Graham Ward | A conversation exploring the role of religious belief in European life and literature. Despite the increased religious diversity of Western Europe and the rise of the “New Atheists”, questions of the Christian origins of our society and their enduring relevance have been prominent in both our public life and literature in recent years. David Cameron controversially asserted that the UK remains a “Christian country” and novelists from Colm Tóibín to Philip Pullman have been exploring Christian themes. What relevance does belief have to contemporary cultural life? How important a foundation is faith to society today? Sarah Perry (@sarahgperry) was born in Essex in 1979, and grew up in a deeply religious home. Kept apart from contemporary culture, she spent her childhood immersed in classic literature, Victorian hymns and the King James Bible. She has a PhD in creative writing at Royal Holloway which she completed under the supervision of Andrew Motion. Her first novel After Me Comes the Flood, was published by Serpent’s Tail in 2014 and was long listed for the Guardian First Book Award and won the East Anglian Book of the Year. A winner of the Shiva Naipaul Memorial prize and a Royal Holloway doctoral studentship, she was Writer-in-Residence at Gladstone's Library in January 2013. Graham Ward is Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford. His books include Barth, Derrida and the Language of Theology, Radical Orthodoxy: A New Theology (edited with John Milbank and Catherine Pickstock), Cities of God, The Certeau Reader, Cultural Transformation and Religious Practice, True Religion, Christ and Culture, Religion and Political Thought and most recently Unbelievable: Why We Believe and Why We Don't. James Walters is Chaplain & Interfaith Adviser at LSE. The Faith Centre (@LSEFaithCentre) is the new home for LSE's diverse religious activities, our interfaith programme, and a reflective space for all staff and students.…
