Classrooms - pretty overdetermined spaces, right? Especially lecture halls. Partitioned off rows, a big whiteboard/screen with the professor ("he who knows") filling your mind like an empty vessel (http://www.cla.purdue.edu/academic/engl/theory/assets/images/foucaultschool.jpeg).
Well, now is your chance to challenge the hegemony of classroom space. The Comparative Studies Undergraduate Group is hosting a dance party in a lecture hall! We will be experiencing the various ways feelings, emotions, ideas, movement, and sound circulate within spaces that are built to repress, separate, quiet and isolate.
This event will explore the intersections of the built environment, over-determined spaces, and the audio-visual affective circulation of techno music. The text we will use to inform our analysis is Michel Gaillot's "Techno: Multiple Meaning, An Artistic and Political Laboratory of the Present" [http://openlibrary.org/b/OL9010128M/Techno]
