07w09:1 Chomsky, Hardt & Negri's Multitude, Poster Art and News Posted February 25th, 2007 by timothy. 0 Comments Good Reads Mailing List | 2007 week 09 number 1 (Chomsky, Hardt & Negri’s Multitude, Poster Art and News) Hello. I have some news. 1. A week and half ago I updated the Goodreads website to take advantage of a WordPress backend, so take a look around if you’d like. Much easier to find and browse the back issues for example, and to see the list of selected content, to which this posting is making some substantial additions. As well, the ability to comment is turned on, so if you have any thoughts, disagreements or whatever about the links, feel free to give me something other to process than comment-spam. 2. I was asked to be part of a panel talk on art criticism on Monday (26 Feb) at Gallery 1313 from 7-9. So come on by if you’d like. Special Content Today’s GR includes an article by Nadja Sayej on poster art that appeared in last weekend’s Globe & Mail. It is here for archival purposes since it’s something I both wanted to make available to future reference and to share with the mailing-list, since the G&M archives are both difficult to search and cost money to access. This Goodreads also includes a Google Video compilation page featuring Noam Chomsky’s 1988 Massey Lecture, Necessary Illusions. Basically, somebody videoed his talks by filming still images of Chomsky on their screen while Chomsky’s lectures play on iTunes. I guess we’ll take what we can get. I’ll admit that I put together this page rather quickly and haven’t yet sorted out whether the videos are in the correct order (I worked from how they were listed on Google Video) which is only to say that the layout may change a bit over the next few days. The Friday before last was Noam Chomsky day at work: as I typed away at my computer, I streamed audio talks available from chomsky.info and particularly appreciated his 2006 Amnesty International Lecture delivered in Dublin. However, for whatever reason, the original mp3s were cut up into sections (I guess for bandwidth consideration) so I decided to reassemble them to make available from Goodreads. Below is both an mp3 and an indexed AAC file. As well, the week before last I finished reading the Hardt/Negri book Multitude which I enjoyed far more than I expected to. Also available is an audio from Michael Hardt’s 2005 Ioan Davies Memorial Lecture Lecture at Toronto’s York University, The Politics of Love, Evil, and the Mulitude. Note that the clicking sound heard occasionally during the talk is of Hardt fiddling with his pen’s cap. – Timothy ———————-Poster Art———————- Making art that sticks | Nadja Sayej http://goodreads.timothycomeau.com/nadjasayej/ ———————-Noam Chomsky———————- Necessary Illusions | Noam Chomsky http://goodreads.timothycomeau.com/noamchomsky/massey1988.html The War on Terror | Noam Chomsky http://goodreads.timothycomeau.com/audio/The_War_on_Terror.m4a (AAC) http://goodreads.timothycomeau.com/audio/The_War_on_Terror.mp3 // Chomsky also appeared on a Dublin radio program after the lecture, and that conversation is available here: http://www.newstalk106.ie/podcasts/library/nced.mp3 The Life and Times of Noam Chomsky (Part 1) | Democracy Now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpbBn_vznT4 The Life and Times of Noam Chomsky (Part 2) | Democracy Now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWo_NhH4s6k The Foucault Chomsky Debate of 1971 | Google Video http://goodreads.timothycomeau.com/noamchomsky/foucault1971/ And for something more interesting than vulgar politics: Linguistics and Philosophy | Noam Chomsky http://goodreads.timothycomeau.com/audio/linguistics_philosophy.mp3 // I forgot where I found this originally, so I’m making a copy of my copy available rather than send you the unknown source.
