Climate Cover-up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming
|
| Description: |
Yale is excited to offer an EXCLUSIVE PRESENTATION by James Hoggan, Chair of the David Suzuki Foundation and of the Canadian chapter of Al Gore's Climate Project. Hoggan will speak on his controversial new book, Climate Cover-up; The Crusade to Deny Global Warming.
As Hoggan will explain, confusion about climate change is epidemic, but not accidental. Starting in the early 1990s, three large American industry groups prepared documented strategies to promote climate change disinformation. The success of those plans is evident in the policy paralysis that currently grips Canada and much of the world.Using four years of original research conducted through the website DeSmogBlog.com, Hoggan and his colleague Richard Littlemore expose tactics in what has become a full-blown attache on the integrity of the public conversation, in the U.S. and in Canada. He also explains how mainstream media have stood by or even collaborated in the effort to turn a clear issue of science and public safety into a partisan argument.This is sure to be an engaging conversation and discussion!

A Time of Hope and Stagnation: Greece in the Late 1980s
|
| Description: |
Part of the series: Modernizing: Political, Social, and Cultural Change in Greece after 1974. A speaker series based on the films of Nicos Perakis. Following its transition to democracy in 1974, Greece entered a process of rapid and uneven change that has transformed society, politics, and culture. The Hellenic Studies Program proposes a reappraisal of the last four decades with a series of talks on post-1974 Greece, which address the turning points and formative transitions of the country with an eye on the cultural representations of the specific periods. The springboard for each talk will be a film by director Nicos Perakis whose films address and record the wider transformation of Greek society. The lecture will be followed by film screening of "Living Dangerously," directed by Nicos Perakis

Director: Robert Nugent
2007, 83 minutes, in English, Mandinke, and French with English subtitles
End of the Rainbow provides a concise, in-depth look at the impact of global extractive industries on local populations, their economy, their traditions and their environment. It depicts in striking details the confrontation of two cultures, one indigenous the other a unique reflection of the age of globalization. The film uses a gold mine in Guinea to explore whether concessions granted to transnational corporations are in the interest of the companies, the governing elite or the local community.

What did people make of death in the world of Atlantic slavery? In The Reaper's Garden, Vincent Brown asks this question about Jamaica, the staggeringly profitable hub of the British Empire in America--and a human catastrophe. Popularly known as the grave of the Europeans, it was just as deadly for Africans and their descendants. Yet among the survivors, the dead remained both a vital presence and a social force. Join author Vincent Brown as he discusses his recently published work.

Where is the Public in Public Health Development? A Making and Re-making of Democratic Healthcare Governance in India
|
| Description: |
The central guiding question of this paper is: why are health and health care provision and access related issues affecting the public virtually absent from public debates and democratic politics in India? To put the question more squarely, where is the public in public health development? This phenomenon is an empirical puzzle as well as of grave policy concern for the Indian government. This is so because while issues other than healthcare have been publicly debated for long in the country, health care issues are not enthusiastically pursued at a collective/community level. What explains the phenomenon of community non-participation and non-activism in matters related to healthcare and its consequences for democratic healthcare governance in rural India?

After the Great War: European Film in 1919
|
| Description: |
The year 1919 was significant both in the history of Europe and in the history of cinema. One might expect that since it was the first year after such a devastating war that 1919 might have marked a lull in Europe but a series of events took place that year which radically altered the European political and intellectual scene for decades to come, including the Treaty of Versailles and the founding of the League of Nations in Paris. But such events were challenged by, on the left, revolutionary uprisings in Germany and Hungary and the first meeting of the Communist International in Moscow and, on the right, by the founding of Mussolini’s Fascist Party in Italy. Core assumptions in intellectual life were also challenged by the publication that year of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. 1919 was also a flowering time in cinema, especially in Germany (despite its recent defeat!) and Scandinavia. That year also saw the beginnings of self-consciously national cinemas and of serious film criticism and theory. Topics to be covered at the conference also include the rise of new distribution networks in the wake of the Great War, and the role of music in silent cinema.

China Film Series: Bamboo Shoots
|
| Description: |
A rare Chinese satire on a society where trust, security and truth are just as scarce as genuine commodities. Old Yang sets off to unknown urban places to look for a lost condom but never finds the disturbing truth behind it. He gets abducted by officials, sleeps at a massage shop, works as a ‘sitter,’ and teaches the city people how to vote. He meets the Trust Club, a secret clique among citizens who decide to get organized and save themselves from lies and fake and harmful products.

After the Great War: European Film in 1919
|
| Description: |
The year 1919 was significant both in the history of Europe and in the history of cinema. One might expect that since it was the first year after such a devastating war that 1919 might have marked a lull in Europe but a series of events took place that year which radically altered the European political and intellectual scene for decades to come, including the Treaty of Versailles and the founding of the League of Nations in Paris. But such events were challenged by, on the left, revolutionary uprisings in Germany and Hungary and the first meeting of the Communist International in Moscow and, on the right, by the founding of Mussolini’s Fascist Party in Italy. Core assumptions in intellectual life were also challenged by the publication that year of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. 1919 was also a flowering time in cinema, especially in Germany (despite its recent defeat!) and Scandinavia. That year also saw the beginnings of self-consciously national cinemas and of serious film criticism and theory. Topics to be covered at the conference also include the rise of new distribution networks in the wake of the Great War, and the role of music in silent cinema.
