Professor Étienne Balibar joins Charles Smith and Giselle Williams of Columbia's WKCR for a conversation on the critical theoretic foundations for concrete utopias. This conversation is part of the Utopia 13/13 seminars at the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought. Professor Balibar joined us for Utopia 1/13 at the Maison Française on September 28, 2022. You can find the full recording from the seminar and additional resources on the Utopia 1/13 page here: https://blogs.law.columbia.edu/utopia1313/1-13/ At the seminar, Professor Balibar presented a new paper, “Uncovering lines of escape: towards a concept of concrete utopia in the age of catastrophes." You can read the full paper in English here: https://blogs.law.columbia.edu/utopia1313/etienne-balibar-uncovering-lines-of-escape-towards-a-concept-of-concrete-utopia-in-the-age-of-catastrophes/ In his lecture, “Uncovering lines of escape: towards a concept of concrete utopia in the age of catastrophes,” the philosopher Étienne Balibar develops three dimensions of the urgency of rethinking concrete utopias in these times of crises: first, Balibar discusses the dilemmas surrounding the concept of utopia and utopian thinking, without which there could be no “radical” politics, but at a time and in an age of at least three major catastrophes (the climate, the nuclear, and the digital); second, Balibar explores “real” or “concrete” utopias in light of the Foucauldian distinction between “utopias” and “heterotopias,” which could also be interpreted as a conversion of utopia into heterotopias; third, Balibar concludes on the transcendental problems of the different modalities of the “possible,” the “impossible,” the “necessary,” the “inevitable,” in their relationship to a concept of time (e.g. Bloch's time of “not-yet”), as displaced by the questioning of “utopia” in today's catastrophic circumstances. At the seminar, Professors Balibar and Harcourt discussed Ernst Bloch, The Spirit of Utopia (1918); Michel Foucault, “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias” (1967/1984); Fredric Jameson, Archaeologies of the Future (2005); Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto (1847; Alex Williams and Nick Srnicek, Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics (2013; Erik Olin Wright, Envisioning Real Utopias (Verso 2010); and Zapatista Army of National Liberation, Sixth Declaration of the Selva Lacandonia (2005).
We keep coming back to puppetry as a running theme, and that's because, much to my surprise, Citizen Sleeper creator Gareth Damian Martin is a trained puppeteer. When they ran out of time to apply to art college, they chose puppetry instead, which would eventually take them into a career in theatre design, where they learned lots of valuable lessons - one of them being dealing with un-moveable deadlines by planning only what can be done in time. That's how they made Citizen Sleeper in two years, and how they were able to plan a break before launch so they could return refreshed for it. So that's how I find Damian Martin today: refreshed, calm and smiling. They've got good reason to smile of course: Citizen Sleeper appears to have been a big success. Because of Game Pass, it's being played by many, many more people than Damian Martin's previous game, In Other Waters. But it's been bought by more people too, both on console and on PC, which is obviously gratifying - and it means Damian Martin can comfortably make games for the foreseeable future. And there are more Citizen Sleeper plans they're already working on. But what really fulfils Damian Martin is the feedback they're getting about the game: the heartfelt messages from people who feel seen by the new sci-fi role-playing game. It's a game that thinks a lot on othering and the idea of belonging, all against the backdrop of a fairly brutal capitalist reality, and clearly it's striking a chord with people. It's also interesting seeing the same themes pop up in Damian Martin's life, as they walk me through the many twists and turns it has taken so far. Growing up in the Orkney islands and playing among ancient burial sites sounds awesome. This, then, is Gareth Damian Martin, creator of Citizen Sleeper and In Other Waters, as well as the Heterotopias games zine. And they're someone who has a lot of interesting things to say. Episode 15 is now available to all. Incidentally, the show has been renamed One-to-one in order to differentiate it from the other shows we now publish to the podcast feed: Newscast and Weekly. The name "One-to-one" actually better represents what this in-depth interview series is all about, anyway. The umbrella title for the podcast feed has also changed, moving from The New Eurogamer Podcast to, simply, Eurogamer Podcasts. It makes more sense.
From the Electronic Music Life archive, James Locksmith speaks with dear friend, writer, editor, music historian, DJ, co-founding member of the Beirut Groove Collective - NATALIE SHOOTER. Natalie was based in Beirut just over a decade, before moving back to the UK, running parties with DJ's Enersto Chahoud, her husband and event partner and DJ, journalist and filmmaker Jackson Allers. Together they are the Beirut Groove Collective, a traveling club night that was formed in Beirut in 2010 to bring awareness to lost gems of the Arab world, North Africa and bring homage to UK Northern soul, weird Italo disco, rare US funk, soul Jazz and other obscurities in between. Recorded in November 2020 they spoke about Natalie's involvement in the Global Dance Cultures of the 1970s and 1980s: "Disco Heterotopias' book" which includes a chapter by her and Ernesto Chahoud on disco music and the nightlife scene in Lebanon during the civil war, tracing the story of early disco singles by Elias and Ziad Rahbani and Ihsan Al Mounzer, Raja Zahr and Mohammed Jamal. It also features interviews with Ziad Rahbani and Jacqueline 'Monroe' to name a few. They also spoke about the rise of community radio in the SWANA region, dancing on zoom and clubbing culture during the pandemic. And Natalie's contribution as a journalist in the SWANA region, from her early Time Out Beirut days to features on Belly Dance Disco on Al Jazeera in 2021.

Luis Felipe Barrios eta Matias Avalos zirkuito madrildarreko ohiko kantaegileak dira eta dudarik gabe musika munduan dauden abots hoberenetarikoak. Elkarrekin hiru diska argitaratu dituzte, “Rojo”, “¿Seattle?” eta azkena, liburu-diska, “Heterotopias” izenekoa, kantugintzaren begirada berritzeko asmoz. Abesti biziak, bitriolikoak, zentzudunak eta eroak. Esparru bat non fusionatzen diren, berriro ere, egokitzen diren unibertso kontrajarrita. Abesti hauek estiloak fusionatzeaz gain, lur-eremuak ere.

Kim speaks with Amanda Caleb about Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia. Amanda says that the classic definition of “heterotopia” is found in Foucault’s article “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias” (Architecture /Mouvement/Continuité, October, 1984). She also mentions The Birth of the Clinic. In comparison to Foucault’s heterotopia, we talk a bit about Mikhail Bakhtin’s concepts […]
Today we're joined by game creator and critic Gareth Damian Martin about In Other Waters, their new sci-fi exploration game. We discuss the interplay between game criticism and game design, the game development process as seen through the eyes of an outsider, and the discipline of architecture as it applies (and doesn't apply) to videogames. We also reveal a new partnership between Gareth's publication Heterotopias and SUPERCULTURE Network!BAD END is proud to be part of SUPERCULTURE, a network of podcasts and websites dedicated to the underobserved.

On this episode of the Vintage Anime Club Podcast, we go back to Tomobiki where the local high school is ramping up the hustle and bustle before the school festival tomorrow. Except that it keeps being tomorrow. So join Diana, Ed, Kate, Sam, Dennis, and returning special guest Eron as we discuss Urusei Yatura Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer, which was released in 1984. The Urashima Taro references are very much at the forefront of this one, along with a few other things that we deep dive into, with some of Oshii's early experimentation with film, if this needed to actually be with Urusei Yatsura characters, inspiration for other films, and the contrast in reception between this versus the first film Only You. Thanks to Eron (@eronrauch) for being a guest, and check out his digital photobook about locations in Yakuza 0 called "Such is the Power of The Empty Lot," available from Heterotopias.

Last week we were reminded of Troop-Cop, who was so troubled by protestors calling police fascists that he had no choice but to club the shit out of them, all in the service of a tacky clothing brand. It dovetailed well with an interesting graphic essay from Nate Powell on paramilitary aesthetics and their increasing popularity among reactionaries in the United States. Then, Danielle's been digging into the latest issue of Heterotopias, where she encountered an essay from María Bonete Escoto on the "slow violence" of environmental destruction portrayed in the Dishonored series. Patrick was delighted by the second episode of Netfllix's Losers series, while Austin has an inside line on some illicit Gundam action.Discussed: About Face by Nate Powell, Losers, Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dancefloors are Heterotopias of Deviance - Thorsten by
*NOTE: Last part of the call was edited due to audio issues.(20min) John and I(Chris)have a rather enlightening discussion with Adam Miller about his article, "The Human body in relation to the Heterotopia" The Modern and Postmodern world has been defined by the spaces that have been created mostly in the urban environment. Spaces are much like personas in that they are constructed. Our actions within a space is limited by the way in which that space is produced. In many cases that space is produced by large moneyed interests and the government. Persona is constructed similarly, which means that our spaces and identities are not always our own. Michel Foucault wrote an influential essay in 1967 titled Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias. https://independentoccupier.wordpress.com/2016/05/22/the-human-body-in-relation-to-the-heterotopia/ https://adammillerarts.wordpress.com
