The Haus der Kunst had been built by orders of Hitler as the House of the German Culture. In this venue, the painting, the history of Picasso, the postwar and the Cold War entered an intense collision. To what extent can images repair or ignite history? In this lecture Professor Andrea Giunta will present the advances of her research on this exhibition and test some answers to a question that pursues the history of all the images, but even more so, a work that condenses to the violence of twentieth century. Andrea Giunta is Tinker Visiting Professor at Columbia University, Spring 2017. Principal Researcher of CONICET (National Council for Scientific and Technical Research), Argentina, and Professor of Latin American and international art at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, is Visiting Scholar a the University of Texas at Austin where she served as founder director of CLAVIS, Center for Latin American Visual Studies from 2009-2013.

An Archaeology of the Political: Regimes of Power from the Seventeenth Century to the Present May 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm The Institute of Latin American Studies invites you to its talk titled An Archaeology of the Political: Regimes of Power from the Seventeenth Century to the Present about the book with the same title, authored by Elías José Palti . The discussion will include Elías José Palti, Federico Finchelstein, Martin Burke and Claudio Lomnitz, Director of the Center for Mexican Studies at Columbia University. In the past few decades, much political-philosophical reflection has been dedicated to the realm of “the political.” Many of the key figures in contemporary political theory—Jacques Rancière, Alain Badiou, Reinhart Koselleck, Giorgio Agamben, Ernesto Laclau, and Slavoj Žižek, among others—have dedicated themselves to explaining power relations, but in many cases they take the concept of the political for granted, as if it were a given, an eternal essence. In An Archaeology of the Political, Elías José Paltiargues that the dimension of reality known as the political is not a natural, transhistorical entity. Instead, he claims that the horizon of the political arose in the context of a series of changes that affirmed the power of absolute monarchies in seventeenth-century Europe and was successively reconfigured from this period up to the present. Palti traces this series of redefinitions accompanying alterations in regimes of power, thus describing a genealogy of the concept of the political. Perhaps most important, An Archaeology of the Political brings to theoretical discussions a sound historical perspective, illuminating the complex influences of both theology and secularization on our understanding of the political in the contemporary world. 802 International Affairs Building 420W 118th Street  New York, NY 10027 United States+ Google Map Phone: 212-854-4643 Website: ilas.columbia.edu Intercambio social y precariedad: de la economía de dones a la monetarización de los favores May 8 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm Event Navigation « An Archaeology of the Political: Regimes of Power from the Seventeenth Century to the Present Please join the Center for Mexican Studies for its final Mexican Mondays series event of the spring semester!

It hasn't even been a month since congressional leaders withdrew their "best" effort to repeal Obamacare. They presented a plan that would have raised premiums, given massive tax cuts to the wealthy, and taken health care away from 24 million Americans -- but an onslaught of grassroots opposition led them to cancel the vote. Now, they've taken that bill -- which received a whopping 17 percent approval -- and somehow made it worse. Obamacare opponents are meeting in secret to finalize a new plan -- one that, in the words of the Washington Post, is "even crueler than the last one." They're working on something called the MacArthur Amendment, and it would keep all of the same dangerous ideas the American people rejected the first time around: gutting coverage, slashing Medicaid, and raising health care costs for families. But now, there's a new twist. It would allow states to opt out of critical provisions embedded in Obamacare, leaving anyone with a pre-existing condition -- otherwise known as millions of Americans -- at the mercy of big insurance companies, while their premiums spike as much as 3,500 percent. Congress returns to Washington next week, and they're threatening to jam this bill through right away. We need to stand up -- right now -- and say loudly: This isn't an option. This is the clearest sign yet that the administration and congressional leaders aren't interested in listening to the people they represent. They're trying to score political points, meeting behind closed doors in a desperate attempt to have anything to show for their first 100 days -- even if it comes at our expense. Here's what they need to understand: Obamacare is more popular than it's ever been, and it's been helping millions of Americans get the quality, affordable care they deserve. It's up to all of us to raise our voices again and keep fighting against another cruel attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
