Explore Everything: Talk with Bradley L. Garrett and Will Self

Part of the Urban Wandering – Film and the London Landscape season at the Barbican

Plotting expeditions from London, Paris, Berlin, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Bradley L. Garrett has evaded urban security in order to experience the city in ways beyond the boundaries of conventional life. He calls it ‘place hacking’: the recoding of closed, secret, hidden and forgotten urban space to make them realms of opportunity.Explore Everything is an account of the author’s escapades with the London Consolidation Crew, an urban exploration collective. The book is also a manifesto, combining philosophy, politics and adventure, on our rights to the city and how to understand the twenty-first century metropolis. This October, Bradley L. Garrett will discuss his new book Explore Everything with author Will Self at The Barbican as part of their Urban Wandering – Film and the London Landscape season. Influenced by psychogeography and other urban theory, Garrett and the London Consolidation Crew have explored buildings, sewers and bridges in London and beyond.

The Geopolitics of King Lear – pdf available

Posted on August 19, 2013 by stuartelden

My article ‘The Geopolitics of King Lear: Territory, Land, Earth’ has now been published in Law and Literature, Vol 25 No 2, pp. 147-65. You can download the article freely here.

I’m impressed by the way the University of California Press allow this. They state:

You may use your article, without contacting UC Press or requesting permission, in the following cases provided (a) you acknowledge the original publication in standard bibliographic citation form, and (b) provided that you do not sell it or give it away in a manner which would conflict directly with the business interests of the journal.

(1) For internal education, classroom use, or other research purposes of your own institution or company;

(2) To post the article on your personal or institutional website;

(3) To publish the article or permit it to be published by other publishers, as part of any book or anthology, of which you are the author or editor, subject only to your giving proper credit to the original publication by the University of California Press, unless the anthology is drawn primarily from the journal in which your article appears.

B. For other uses, questions, and information:

(1) Go to http://www.jstor.org/r/ucal, and locate your article. In the article screen, on the right, under Rights and Permissions, click Request Reprints and Permissions.

(2) Visit our author’s resource guide at http://ucpressjournals.com/authorinfo.asp

(3) E-mail journalspermissions@ucpress.edu with any additional questions.

All clear and fair. If other publishers could follow this there would be much less trouble with reprinting your own work – it always seems ridiculous to have to ask to reuse something you originally gave a journal for free – and institutional or self-archiving.

While the Free Downloads page is the place to go for online content by me (articles, interviews, audio, video and reading lists), there is also a Resources page with links to the Boko Haram bibliography, translations of short texts by Foucault and Lefebvre and a couple of other things.

Foucault and Habermas on Kant, Modernity, and Enlightenment (The Debate that Never Was, Part IV)

Posted on August 19, 2013 by stuartelden

Another interesting post from James Schmidt on Foucault, Habermas and Kant.

James Schmidt's avatarPersistent Enlightenment

The aim of my series of posts on the so-called “Foucault/Habermas Debate” has been to move the focus away from the discussion of the differences in their general approaches and return it to the more modest concerns that lay at its origin: the idea of a meeting between Foucault, Habermas, and a few others to discuss Immanuel Kant’s response to the question “What is Enlightenment?” on the bicentennial of its publication. What interests me is just what it was that Foucault and Habermas found interesting in Kant’s little essay and what this might tell us about their relationship to that thing that we have come to designate as “the Enlightenment” — a term whose various implications have, and will remain, the main concern of this blog. So, having spent previous posts probing the various ambiguities associated with “The Debate that Never Was,” I want to focus this discussion on how…
