MIT VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM LECTURE SERIES - October 6-December 1, 2008
····················································································
Monday, October 6 at 7:00 PM
"Urban Utopia?"
Pia Maria Ahlbäck, Peter Marcuse
····················································································
This cross-disciplinary lecture series includes speakers from art, architecture, urbanism and related research fields from around the world. These speakers will pose questions in order to start a discussion about imagining tomorrow’s urban “everyday life”- a topic which calls for a discourse beyond just formal disciplines.
Location:
Joan Jonas Performance Hall
MIT Visual Arts Program, Bldg N51-337, 3rd Floor
265 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge (adjacent to the MIT Museum)

SPEAKERS
····················································································
Pia Maria Ahlbäck
Lecturer, Researcher in Comparative Literature,
Åbo Akademi University, Finland
Ahlbäck will examine a small number of spatial examples, urban and others, in the light of the phenomenological thought of the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. She will also make use of the concepts of the “chronotope”, which was devised by Russian literary theoretician Mikhail Bakhtin, and the “heterotopia,” conceived by the French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault. Her purpose in utilizing these thoughts and concepts is to facilitate a way of thinking imaginatively about climate change that is related to the Western tradition of utopias/dystopias. Ultimately, she will attempt to answers questions about the challenges this particular approach presents and its implications for current urban spatial thinking.
·····
Peter Marcuse
Planner; lawyer; Professor Emeritus
Urban Planning, Columbia University (NYC)
Utopias can be good (humanist) or bad (neo-liberal), achievable (the city of plenty) or unachievable (the dream city), strategic (utopias of process) or illusory (architectural fantasies). Critical approaches to planning and urban activism would incorporate the former images of utopia into meaningful programs of change. The Right to the City is an example of the effort at such a use of utopian thinking
