Rhapsodic Non-Fiction: A Conversation between Ryszard Kapuscinski and Oliver Sacks, 18-Sept-2002, inclusive
Language of Materials
Extent
Scope and Contents
Introduced by Lawrence Weschler, this is a recording of a conversation between Ryszard Kapuscinski and Oliver Sacks that took place at Hemmerdinger Hall on September 18, 2002; an event entitled Rhapsodic Non-Fiction. Weschler explains the title by pointing out a common thread in the seemingly very different authors' works. Kapuscinski's The Emporer, on the surface was about an an anti-communist, Ethiopian regime being toppled, but was allegorical to the situation in Poland in the late 1970s. Oliver Sacks' Awakenings was about his patients with "locked in" syndrome, but could be compared to the result of liberation of nations, such as Poland and Czechoslovakia, previously trapped under strict authoritarian rule.

Historical note
The Authority Conference brought approximately 20 humanistic scholars together in order to discuss authority, production, and the division of labor and how those topics are treated in thought, theory, and practice in various humanities fields. Intellectual goals stated in a letter of invitation were to better "understand how the productive processes of modern society are changing in ways not anticipated in past social theory" and to "expand the meaning of the term 'production' itself, so that it appears as a cultural, psychological, and epistemological category as well as a category in political economy." The final desired outcome of the conference was to set up an ongoing working group to pursue whatever develops during the sessions.

Inventing Times Square Lecture Series (I). "The Urban Face of Capitalism." A Lecture by David Harvey, Oct. 27, 1988, inclusive
Language of Materials
Extent
Scope and Contents
David Harvey gives the innagural lecture in the Inventing Times Square Conference/Lecture series. The theme of this first session in the series is "Developing a Place: The Dynamics of Commercial Culture." His lecture, "The Urban Face of Captialism" discusses political and economic processes in general and more specifically their relationship to urban and commercial development. This leads to themes of the organization of space and time in societies in general and capitalist societies in particular.
Historical Note
During the 1988-89 academic year, the NYIH held the monthly conference series, Inventing New York. This consisted of day-long sessions with lectures, panels of scholars and commissioned papers discussing different themes in the "emergence of modern American commercial culture" using Times Square as a representative focal point.
The proposal describes the the various themes, stating, "Panels one and two deal with the economic context in which entrepreneurial development was made possible, and with the roles of particular promoters and entrepreneurs. The next two panels examine the spatial and aesthetic forms of this new world of cultural consuption (i.e. the architecture, interior design and aesthetic character of the major institutional stores), and the performance dimension of theatre, deance and show that created the excitement and drew the crowds. The concluding sessions challenge to existing moral conventions, and the efforts of these new forces in the culture to give their energies protective coloration -- first by flying the flag and then by appealing to new kinds of cosmopolitan sophistication."
This proposal became manifest in the following themed conferences:
I. Developing a Place: The Dynamics of Commercial Culture II. Producing a Place: Promoters, Politicians, Entrepreneurs III. Imaging a Place: The Aesthetics of the Commercial World IV. The Life of a Place: Performance and Pleasure V. Policing a Place: The Politics of Respectability VI. Remembering a Place: From Patriotism to Cosmopolitanism

Language of Materials

Scope and Contents
Recording of the introduction to and the first session of the Writers and Censorship Conference hosted by the New York Institute for the Humanities on February 1-2, 1980. This first session took place on the evening of February 1, is lead by Bob Silvers and Aryeh Neier and deals with the act of censoring, itself. Richard Sennet introduces the theme of the conference (described below) and welcomes the leaders of the first session.
This conference focuses on the question "What does censorship do in terms of the act of writing?" The premise of this two day conference is the complicated relationship between writer and censor and between writing and censorship. This involves discussion on how the two are not necessarily diametrically opposed. Questions of complicity between the two are explored, looking at how the writer may serve as his own censor, creating a grey area between the act of expression and the act of repression. Rather than formal presentations, each session was started by one or two people "put some ideas on the table" and then a general discussion among the participants.
The conference comprised three sessions; an evening session on February 1, 1980 and then morning and afternoon sessions the following day. Session 1 (evening, 2/1/80) was lead by Bob Silvers Aryeh Neier discussing the act of censoring, itself. Session 2 (morning, 2/2/80) was lead by Arthur Miller and Dick Sennet, discussing cultural censorship. Miller focused on cultural censorship in China, while Sennet lead the discussion toward "etherial cultural censorship." Session 3 (afternoon, 2/2/80) was lead by Joseph Brodsky and touched on the ambiguities involved in self-censorship involved in the very act of creating.
