Organized Violence and the Archeology of War – Yılmaz Selim Erdal

Bedi Çelik — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 10:44:35 +0000

Debates on the existence and causes of violence among human populations and between individuals date back to the 16th century. While some researchers accept that the concepts of settled life, agriculture, and private property were influential in the emergence of organized violence, archaeological studies conducted in the Near East, especially in Anatolia, show that the establishment of the central authority shaped the occurrence of organized violence. We will further delve into these issues in this lecture.

Planet at the Breaking Point: Climate Crisis of the Destructive Civilization – Nesrin Algan

admin — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 14:33:25 +0000

The idea of dominating nature and its resources lies at the basis of civilization established by the human species on planet Earth. While pushing the limits of the Earth and causing irreversible ecological destruction, this idea also contains the danger of destroying human civilization. This understanding of civilization, shaped by the growth policies while contributing to the “sixth great extinction” and the current climate crisis, has now acquired a destructive character. To slow down, stop, or reverse this process, it is necessary for humanity to radically redefine the understanding and policies of transformation, progress, development, and civilization.

Kings, Pawns and Urban Space as the Playground of Politics – Murat Çetin

admin — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 21:00:48 +0000

The global political agenda, shaped by labor-capital and urban-rural dichotomies and class contradictions, affects people’s lives, urban rights, and daily practices. By focusing on the relations of place and society, this lecture aims to deal with the turbulent story of the relationship between politics and urban areas in the historical process. By addressing the struggle in the background of urban space production and consumption with the metaphor of a “game board,” it will show that the place is a solid state of socio-political relations. It will reveal the “invisible hand” of the rule makers and their role in urban space sharing.

admin — Fri, 07 May 2021 11:40:00 +0000

The COVID-19 Pandemic has accelerated radical changes and transformations that have been taking place in the world for a long time. This lecture will trace the roots of these changes from all the way back to 50 thousand years ago, when Homo Sapiens first began to reign over the planet after eliminating their rivals, through the 5,000-year existence of the state that emerged with the Sumerian civilization and came to dominate the last 500 years as re-imagined by the West and represented mainly by the United Nations in the previous 50 years. This lecture will take a long view of the concepts of state, order, system, stability, violence, conflict, war, etc.
