SUMMARY:Interview with Fiction Writer Kim Stanley Robinson
DESCRIPTION:How can science fiction contribute to doing social sciences otherwise? \nOn February 17th\, 2023\, the Ethnography Lab will be welcoming fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson to discuss fiction writing in relation to ethnographic practices. \nKim Stanley Robinson is a world renowned science fiction author\, winner of both the Nebula and Hugo awards\, who’s work centers mostly on the imagination of distant and proximate futures affected and dealing with what we might now identify as an inevitable climate crisis. KSR’s work on this matter stands out for his combination of uptodate developments in the scientific and social understanding of this crisis\, with fictional situations which more than illustrate an imagined future\, illuminate and map the present. KSR is today a principal figure in ecosocialist debates and an undoubted reference in arguments about the restrictions that the capitalist mode of production imposes on finding effective solutions to this crisis. \nThis event will aim at crafting speculative practices by which to envision experimental ways of performing and writing research through fiction. Beside pushing for innovative research tools\, the event will seek to explore the activist potential of imagining and existing otherwise\, through fiction\, and rendering research and knowledge differently accessible to larger audiences. \nScience fiction\, as a speculative genre\, has for years provided readers with the space to imagine other forms of social relations themselves determined by the existence of imaginary technological developments and scientific advances. In projecting imaginary futures\, particularly in a dystopian form\, science fiction exposes the limitations of existing discourses over economic and technological development and\, more importantly\, draws a thread from the contradictions of the present to imagined catastrophes of the future. Moreover\, in its inability to overcome certain oppressive views\, forms of gender and racial inequality\, even in its utopian imaginations\, science fiction projections allow us to reflect on the deep structural character of many of these social injustices. \nThe speculative method of science fiction provides social research with a critical tool for exposing inherent problems of existing social structures as well as the limitations of current policy in addressing these issues. Furthermore\, as Ruth Levitas suggests when speaking of utopias\, these speculative efforts facilitate “genuinely holistic thinking about possible futures\, combined with reflexivity\, provisionality and democratic engagement with the principles and practices of those futures” (2010). \nThe talk will be animated by Marie Lecuyer and Carlos Velásquez\, Concordia PhD students in Social and Cultural Analysis. \nTo register\, please contact lab coordinator Maya Lamothe-Katrapani at m_amoth@live.concordia.ca

SUMMARY:Performative Compositions: How to create an umbrella
DESCRIPTION:Are you coming with me under my umbrella?\nJoin us for the next installment of A Walk in LePARC with multidisciplinary artist Patricia Ragazzon\, on February 16\, 2023\, from 2-5 PM. \nIn her doctoral research on embodied learning as a pedagogical process\, Patricia Ragazzon develops the concept of “performative compositions” as modes of creation with different groups\, bodies and perception. This hands-on workshop is an invitation to rally and construct knowledge together with other modes of existence and (neuro)diversities. From personal experience teaching various groups in theater workshops\, Ragazzon has formed performative compositions for sensitive experience\, processuality and relational practice. She proposes an environment for improvisation from principles of movement\, materialities and space\, listening and embodiment–a space-between the invention of self and the creation of other possible worlds. All are welcome. Come with comfortable clothes. If possible\, bring fabrics\, threads\, scissors and old or damaged umbrellas.  \nPatricia Ragazzon is an actress\, performer\, director\, researcher and theater teacher. She is an Academic visitor at Concordia University and a Doutoranda of the Performing Arts Program of the University of Bahia – BRAZIL.

SUMMARY:Lunch Time Seminar with Luke Stark
DESCRIPTION:Machine Agencies is thrilled to welcome Dr. Luke Stark for the talk “Laws of Inference: Conceptual Limits for Automated Decision-Making”: \nRegulation via the epistemological structure of an application space is one potential mechanism to address the social impact of rapid advances in machine learning (ML) and other artificial intelligence (AI) methods used for automated decision-making. Drawing on Carlo Ginzburg’s distinction between conjectural (abductive/inductive) and empirical (deductive) science\, I argue that ML systems should be assessed for their conceptual assumptions as well as their proposed use cases. This assessment should be grounded both in the forms of inferential reasoning (inductive\, deductive\, and or abductive) involved in a particular automated analysis\, as well as the domain in which the analysis is being performed. In the paper\, I sketch out a matrix of inferential types and use case categories that serves as a first step towards a more granular AI governance regime. Given the shaky epistemological foundations and social toxicity of much automated conjecture about human activities and behavior\, such use cases deserve heightened legal\, technical\, and social scrutiny. \nWhen? Wednesday\, February 15 TH\, 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM EST \nWhere? Milieux Resource Room (EV 11.705) \nRESERVE A SPOT HERE\n\n\nLuke Stark is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at the University of Western Ontario. His work interrogates the historical\, social\, and ethical impacts of computing and artificial intelligence technologies\, particularly those mediating social and emotional expression. His scholarship highlights the asymmetries of power\, access and justice that are emerging as these systems are deployed in the world\, and the social and political challenges that technologists\, policymakers\, and the wider public face as a result. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event is hosted at the Milieux Institute at Concordia University by the Machine Agencies Research Group.

SUMMARY:Digital Text as Data – A Computational Approach
DESCRIPTION:The DIGS Lab is hosting a talk with Dr. Zhifan Luo on a computational approach to collecting\, analyzing\, and visualizing digital text as data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nA deeply digitalized social world has brought studies of media to an “Age of Data Abundance\,” which comes with its own opportunities and challenges. For a new generation of scholars\, proper methodological tools are indispensable if they want to harvest the opportunities while facing up to the challenges of the digital age. In this workshop\, participants will be introduced to a computational approach to collect\, analyze\, and visualize digital text as data. In the first part of the workshop\, they will learn about how computational methods may complement\, advance\, and transcend traditional ways of studying media through cases. In the second part\, they will get a chance to do hands-on exercises and play with R\, a programming language widely used by social scientists\, to collect and/or analyze some social media data. \nWhen? February 15th\, 10:00-12:00 PM EST \nWhere? Milieux Resource Room (EV. 11.705) \nDr. Zhifan Luo is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Concordia University. She obtained a doctoral degree in sociology from the State University of New York at Albany\, the U.S. Her research and teaching integrate computer-assisted content analysis with traditional qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate the dynamics of power and resistance in the authoritarian and democratic contexts. Her work has appeared in New Media & Society\, Information\, Communication & Society\, The SAGE Handbook of Social Media Research Methods (2nd edition)\, and others.

SUMMARY:A Talk with Tina Campt: “The Afterlives of Images: A Correspondence"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next installment of Moving the Landscape to Find the Ground\, Post Image’s cycle of artist talks and artist residencies\, featuring a talk with black feminist theorist Tina Campt! \nTina Campt’s lecture reflects on the the afterlives of images re-activated in ways that imagine black life\, bodies\, and spaces across time. This lecture reflects on the fugitive registers of images created by artists who give photographs a second life as part of an active practice of correspondence. Enacting a triangulated set of correspondences between herself\, black feminist theory\, and a series of artworks that connect different time-spaces\, she considers the afterlives which come into view when images are re-activated in ways that imagine black life\, black bodies\, and black spaces in a correspondence that straddles the present and past. \nWhen? February 14th at 5 PM EST (in-person and online)\nWhere? *We are currently sold out of in-person tickets but livestream tickets remain available. \nRegister for the livestream to receive the link before the lecture begins.\n\n\n\n\nTina Campt is Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor of Humanities in the Department of Art and Archeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University. Campt is a black feminist theorist of visual culture and contemporary art and the founding convener of the Practicing Refusal Collective and the Sojourner Project. Her early work theorized gender\, racial\, and diasporic formation in black communities in Europe and southern Africa\, and the role of vernacular photography in historical interpretation. Campt has published five books including: A Black Gaze (MIT Press\, 2021); Listening to Images (Duke University Press\, 2017); Image Matters: Archive\, Photography and the African Diaspora in Europe (Duke University Press\, 2012); and Other Germans: Black Germans and the Politics of Race\, Gender and Memory in the Third Reich (University of Michigan Press\, 2004). Her co-edited collection\, Imagining Everyday Life: Engagements with Vernacular Photography (with Marianne Hirsch\, Gil Hochberg\, and Brian Wallis Steidl\, 2020)\, received the 2020 Photography Catalogue of the Year award from Paris Photo and Aperture Foundation.

SUMMARY:GameBling Game Jam Second Edition
DESCRIPTION:The GameBling Game Jam is back for a second edition and it is all about luck this time (Feb 11-12\, 2023)! \nThe outcome of some gambling games relies on pure probability (i.e.\, slot machines\, lotteries)\, while others involve a bit of skill (e.g.\, poker\, mahjong). But for many gamblers\, the odds of winning are also up to luck. \nLuck is the magic that takes gambling from a question of probabilities to the perception of something that can be controlled. Perceived this way\, luck can be influenced through ritualistic behaviors (think of superstitions like touching a ‘lucky’ four-leaf clover). \nLuck is an intangible force\, but also something that is perceived to be inherent in people\, objects\, and practices. Given these qualities\, how do game designers play with luck? \nRegister here\nView previous edition entries for inspiration on our previous itch.io page. \nThis event is presented with the support of JREN\, TAG\, HERMES\, the research chair on gambling\, and Concordia University.

SUMMARY:Postcolonial Nature with Dr. Philip Aghoghovwia
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next installment of the Critical Anthropocene Speaker Series featuring Dr. Philip Aghoghovwia’s talk ‘Postcolonial Nature’.  \n\n\nIn this talk\, the speaker reflects on three vectors that inscribe the historicity of postcolonial nature as the articulation of a certain kind of lived experience. (1) Land grabbing that renders indigenous inhabitants automatic serfs within their own environments; (2) Arrogant forms of conservation that expel human populations from their ancestral lands; and (3) Destructive extraction of natural resources motivated by seductive but abstract metrics of economic growth that cannot be measured in terms of ecological (or any kind of) well-being of the particular local lifeworld. Engaging directly with nature in postcolonial thought is not possible for it must confront the imperatives of nature’s colonial and imperialist history – a necessary circumlocution that enables us to approach nature as a powerful signifier of being and quotidian experience in the postcolonial context. \nWhen? February 10th\, from 12:00-13:30 PM. \nWhere? Online \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Handle with Care: Values in Our Hearts - A Micro Opera
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for this massive collaborative improvisational micro-opera that explores relations between identity\, independence\, and our yearning for belonging\, and collaborative creation. \nWhen? February 8th\, 6:00 PM \nWhere? Video Production Studio (EV 10.760) \nOur identities are partially constructed of rules internalized through our upbringing\, which provide us with a lifeline and a noose. Some need rules to guide or motivate\, some need them only to resist and break\, some see them as songs or poems yet to be written. \nWe are like starlings in their murmuration: individuals\, we naturally share\, mimic\, and flow\, out of the corners of our eyes\, our ears\, our bodies\, all our senses. We mimic to learn and survive but\, reflecting\, we know we have potential beyond mirroring\, to reach out on our own lines of flight. \nWe slow – even stop – time to reflect\, recycle\, reuse\, and replay experience\, creating fluctuations of harmony\, community\, rupture\, separation\, identity\, solitude\, discord\, multiplicity\, complementarity\, solidarity. \nThis is performance with no limits and rules\, other than that we respect each other’s limitations. Consent\, no consent\, yes\, no\, maybe\, are activated within us as questions and invitations\, emerging to shape our actions and conversations\, articulating possible rules of individual and collective responsibility. \nWhat is in our hearts as our most cherished values? How do we make laws to free us from servitude and serve us better? What would we want laws to say or not say\, do or not do? Could our deepest values be expressed in law\, or are there ways beyond words in which to express them? \nUnder the direction of Professor Eldad Tsabary\, Reflective Iterative Scenario Enactments (RISE) is a Le PARC based 5-year (2020-2025) research-creation project designed to enact and investigate cataclysmic scenarios in 10 mini-operas and funded by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Inspired by the RISE research team’s recent collective exercises\, experiences and reflections\, this micro-opera developed from a proposition by Oonagh Fitzgerald\, INDI PhD student in the Fine Arts Program.

SUMMARY:How to Stay a Human When You Dance With a Machine
DESCRIPTION:When we use a computer\, do we have to think in the language of the computer? Join us for the next installment of A Walk in LePARC with digital interactive artist Tim Murray-Browne. \nI’ll talk about my artistic practice of building embodied interactive systems. Particularly with dancers\, I’ve found code introduces abstractions of the body\, which can be more limiting than enabling. Recently\, I’ve been using unsupervised AI to devise rather than design interaction between human and system. I’ve found the results refreshing and captivating\, but it requires a rethink of how we relate to machines: a shift away from the instrumental back towards that of belonging. \nWhen? February 7 TH\, 4:00-5:30 PM \nWhere? Milieux Resource Room (EV. 11.705) \nAbout Tim \nI am a digital interactive artist. My work explores the parts of being human that get left behind when we interact with technology. I create interactive installations and performances that connect the moving body\, image\, sound and light but my primary medium is the interaction itself. My work aims to tap into the non-intellectual\, yet intelligent\, embodied mind. I graduated with a first in Maths and Computer Science from Oxford University and completed a PhD on interactive art and music at Queen Mary University of London. I code bespoke software for much of my work. \nTim is currently artist-in-residence at LePARC and Speculative Life.

SUMMARY:NOSTALGIA/LOSTAGAIN Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Come to feel and explore nostalgia with us at the NOSTALGIA/LOSTAGAIN symposium – a student-led symposium that explores creative nostalgia through panel discussions and workshops from experts in the arts and sciences.  \nWhen? February 4th\, from 10:00-4:00 PM EST. \nWhere? Milieux Institute (EV 11.705) and online \nNostalgia reminds us of a past that was and could have been (Boym 2001). In a place of lost possibilities\, of those we’ve lost touch\, and memories of losses… What do we also lose or throw away in the present in order to be nostalgic? What if we could use these tools of forgetting the losses of a past to help us remember how to prevent more of them in the future? Digital tools can evoke a certain feeling of loss; a past that is gone. But given a message of hope\, of possibility\, this loss may inspire us to work towards a future without repeating the same losses of the past. This symposium centres around the use of CREATIVE NOSTALGIA: a kind described by Svetlana Boym (2001) as being able to reveal the “fantasies of an age” – our desires to get away from losses\, regrets\, and pain – but it is in these emotional tools capable of change and hope where “the future is born”. \nYou can check their website for the whole programming here. \nRESERVE A SPOT

SUMMARY:A Walk in LePARC with Adriana Minu
DESCRIPTION:LePARC is happy to invite you all to join A Walk in LePARC with Adriana Minu! \nAfter three years of researching affective approaches to music making\, Adriana has been reclaiming her body from deep enrapturing tensions and learning what qualities can be nurtured in spaces that welcome alterity. She is now taking a look back at the processes and artworks that have stemmed from her artistic and vocal practice. Expect an experimental format with vocal solutions\, digressions and improvisations to perceived intensities. \nWhen? January 30 th\, 2023\, 2-3pm \nWhere? Residency Room EV 10.785 \nAdriana Minu is an artist\, researcher\, and intense vocal performer. She lives hyper aware of her constant relation with the environment. Her mission is to create artworks that help herself and others escape bodily oppressions. She doesn’t always succeed. Her own dislocated body guides her in this process that vibrates victoriously outside categories.  \nAdriana is finishing her PhD in experimental music co-supervised at two prestigious British universities. She is a visiting doctoral scholar at lePARC until July 2023. In the UK she co-runs the research creation podcast Essential Blends with Kevin Leomo and the artistic experimentation platform ‘The way we blend’. At Concordia she runs a monthly series for cross-disciplinary performative encounters ‘there is space to […]’ and a sound improvisation series with Kathy Kennedy called ‘Improv-X’.

SUMMARY:Workshop with Dr. Kristina Lyons
DESCRIPTION:The Concordia Ethnography Lab is happy to invite you to a workshop with Kristina Lyons (UPenn) on January 27 th at 1:00 pm: Rivers and Reconciliation: Elaborating the Sociological Memory of War Through Science and Arts-based practices.  \nDuring this workshop\, Dr. Lyons will present an ethnographic and participatory action research project to reconstruct the “socioecological memory” of the Mandur River watershed in the Colombian Amazon. The objective of this project was to create conditions for community dialogues over the territorial ordering\, recovery\, and conservation of the watershed in the midst of ongoing socio-environmental conflicts. Dr. Lyons will discuss the proposal to engage in what grassroots organizations call “profound reconciliation” along with the ethical stakes of reconciliatory processes that tend to human and more-than-human relations damaged by the interconnected dynamics of structural violence and decades of war. She will also share the environmental humanities-based methodologies that emerged in our collective process to elaborate the memory of the Mandur\, as well as facilitate a cosmopolitical exercise to highlight the importance of fostering spaces for bettering (rather than transcending) conflict. We will also converse about the challenges posed for public engaged scholarship during times of transition that may shift toward the perpetuation of violence\, injustice\, and militarized forms of conservation. \n*For more information and questions please email EthnoLab Coordinator Maya Lamothe-Katrapani at mlamothekatrapani@gmail.com \nKristina Lyons is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and with the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania. She also holds affiliations with the Center for Experimental Ethnography and the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies.  Kristina’s research is situated at the interfaces of socio-ecological conflicts and science and legal studies in Latin America.  Her manuscript\, Vital Decomposition: Soil Practitioners and Life Politics\, was published by Duke University Press in 2020 and the Spanish translation in 2021 with the Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá\, Colombia. It was awarded honorable mention by the Bryce Wood Book Award by the Latin American Studies Association. Kristina has also worked on the creation of soundscapes\, street performances\, photographic essays\, graphic novels\, community radio programs\, digital storytelling platforms\, and various forms of literary and journalistic writing. \n

SUMMARY:there is space to fall at LePARC
DESCRIPTION:‘there is space to…’ is a new monthly series for performative encounters in LePARC’s Residency Room. Practitioners from all disciplines are invited to improvise together under permeable frameworks that enable togetherness. Kickstarted by Adriana Minu\, the series leaves its doors open to practitioners to propose their own idiosyncratic approaches to improvisation or to just come and perform. \nIn December the event was called ‘there is space to feel’. Informed by Adriana’s practice of tending to the plethora of intensities that the body holds using vocal improvisation. In January\, Pati Ragazzon joins Adriana for ‘there is space to fall’ – an emergent framework that Pati and Adriana are in the process of uncovering\, informed by Pati’s own movement practice. \n*For more information and questions please email Lucy Fandel\, LePARC’s coordinator\, at leparc.milieux@gmail.com \n**The event is open to all and no registration is required

SUMMARY:Artist Talk With Barry Pottle
DESCRIPTION:Post Image presents Inuk photographer Barry Pottle\, in the third installment of Moving the Landscape to Find Ground\, a cycle of artist talks and artist residencies which takes place until May 2023. This series is built from a shared ambition to break open lens-based practices via the interrogation of the colonial prism through which photography exists. We are inviting conversation among all communities impacted by the colonial gaze.  \n\n\n\nHow can you participate? Join in person at 4thSpace or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.  \n\n\n\nBarry Pottle is an Inuk artist originally from Nunatsiavut in Labrador\, now living in Ottawa\, Ontario. He has worked with the Indigenous arts community for many years particularly in the city of Ottawa\, which has the largest urban population of Inuit outside the North. Barry has always been interested in photography as a medium of artistic expression and as a way of exploring the world around him. Through the camera’s lens\, Barry showcases the uniqueness of this community. Whether it is at a cultural gathering\, family outings or the solitude of nature that photography allows\, he captures the essence of Inuit life in Ottawa. \n\n\n\nOur programming is in collaboration with the Indigenous Futures Research Centre\, the Feminist Media Studio and the Black Perspectives Office.

SUMMARY:Ethnography Lab Film Nights|ZAGROS
DESCRIPTION:The Concordia Ethnography Lab is happy to invite you to the last film night of the semester\, this Wednesday\, December 7th at 6pm! They will be screening the beautiful film Zagros (2018) by Ariane Lorrain and Shahab Mihandoust. The screening will be followed by a Q+A with the directors.  \n\n\n\nZAGROS follows the creation of carpets across the Western mountains of Iran\, the land of Bakhtiaris. Wool is the guiding thread that traverses nomadic and sedentary cultures\, revealing the worlds of weavers\, dyers and shepherds through their labour. Carpets weave the social fabric of their lives\, giving it form as well as colour. The work is hard\, and is gradually being devalued by the outside world – but their lives are redeemed through the love they feel for their traditions. \n\n\n\nREAD MORE ABOUT THE FILM HERE \n\n\n\n** The event will take place at Concordia University’s EV Building\, 1515 Sainte-Catherine O\, Montréal\, QC H3G 2W1\, Room 10.625. Once you exit the elevator\, follow the “Milieux Institute” arrows.
