SUMMARY:Rebuilding Cities and Citizens
DESCRIPTION:In Vienna after WWI and Berlin after WWII\, the provision of mass housing not only was a response to a dire social need but also served as a key lever for building variants of socialism and liberalism. Zooming into the interplay between political ideologies and the production of space\, this book shows that ideologies\, understood as political beliefs that underpin everyday life\, are never simply ‘written’ into space but that their meaning is made and re-made\, negotiated and contested\, and sometimes cunningly subverted in and through space. \nHow people live was – and continues to be – a profoundly political question that involves negotiations of\, and decisions on\, norms and ideals of citizenship\, freedom\, equality\, property\, democracy\, gender\, and family life – negotiations and decisions that come with legacies that shape the present. What these legacies are in light of the current return of the housing question as a social and ecological question will be the focus of the presentation. \nMargaret Haderer holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Toronto. Currently\, she works at TU Wien at the Institute of Spatial Planning. The politics underpinning the built environment as well as the latter’s transformation towards greater sustainability are her two key research foci. \nSponsored by: Department of Politics Seminar Series Graduate Diploma in European Studies The City Institute at York University.

SUMMARY:FilmSocial Presents: La Llarona
DESCRIPTION:The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education and the Socialist Project present La Llorona as the next film in our ongoing FilmSocial series. \nLa Llorona (Guatemala\, 2019.) is the modern re-imagining of the Mexican and Central American folktale about a vengeful ghost who roams near bodies of water mourning her dead children whom she killed after discovering her unfaithful husband. Director and screenwriter Jayro Bustamante places the legend inside contemporary Guatemala at a particularly turbulent time. Retired Guatemalan general Enrique Monteverde is being tried for orchestrating a brutal genocide against native Mayans in the 1980s. Now elderly and ailing he lives comfortably with his wife\, daughter\, and granddaughter\, but is haunted by his past. \nThis is the third film in our special series exploring the topic of imperialism. Jayro Bustamante uses La Llorona as a way to explore Guatemala’s violent and racist history. The ramifications of the Spanish colonization of Guatemala is still felt today in its race and class struggles. The movie is based on the real events surrounding the presidency of José Efraín Ríos Montt from 1982 to 1983 where he oversaw one of the bloodiest periods in the Guatemalan Civil War. Efraín Ríos Montt was convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity in 2013 for the systematic massacre of indigenous communities under the guise of fighting communist insurgents. The verdict was overturned days later. \nThe film will be followed by a short presentation and general discussion on the politics and implications of the film’s subject today.
