SUMMARY:Arcadias: A Conversation with Emmanuelle Bayamack-Tam and Lauren Groff
DESCRIPTION:Diving into literary arcadias on the 150th anniversary of the Commune. \nJoin the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and Emory University for Ideas and Ideals: Strong Female Voices\, a monthly online gathering exploring how we redefine power\, consent\, and submission. \nModerated by Katy Waldman. \nEmmanuelle Bayamack-Tam makes her English-language debut with Arcadia\, a mind-blowing manifesto for the abolition of sexual\, geographical and even literary frontiers… At the tender age of six\, Farah moves into a community in harmony with nature. Its spiritual leader preaches equality\, non-violence\, anti-speciesism\, and uninhibited desire for all\, regardless of gender\, age\, looks\, or ability. At fifteen\, Farah learns she is intersex\, and begins to explore her own desires beyond the confines of gender. What\, Farah asks\, is a man or a woman? What does it mean to be part of a community? What is utopia when there are refugees seeking shelter who cannot enter? \nLauren Groff is the author of another Arcadia\, this one set in the fields and forests of western New York State in the late 1960s. Several dozen idealists set out to live off the land\, founding a commune centered on the grounds of a decaying mansion. Arcadia follows a lyrical\, rollicking\, tragic\, and exquisite utopian dream from its hopeful start through its heyday and beyond. \nAs their characters subvert contemporary conceptions of normative sexuality\, capitalist culture\, and environmental destruction\, our speakers ponder whether utopias are doomed by definition. They’ll ask what kind of dreams can be fathomed\, what borders redefined what bounds or relations amended. \nEmmanuelle Bayamack-Tam has published twelve novels and two plays with P.O.L\, including three novels under the pseudonym Rebecca Lighieri. She is a founding member of the interdisciplinary association Autres et Pareils and co-director of Éditions Contre-Pied. Arcadia\, won the Prix du Livre Inter. It was shortlisted for the Prix Femina\, the Prix Médicis\, and Prix de Flore. (Translation by Ruth Diver for Seven Stories Press) \nLauren Groff is the author of The Monsters of Templeton (Hachette)\, Delicate Edible Birds (Hachette)\, and Arcadia (Hyperion Books)\, a New York Times Notable Book\, winner of the Medici Book Club Prize\, and finalist for the L.A. Times Book Award. Her novel\, Fates and Furies (Riverhead Books)\, was a finalist for the National Book Award in Fiction\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the Kirkus Award and was a New York Times Notable book and Bestseller. Her Florida (Riverhead Books) was a finalist for the National Book Award. In 2017\, she was named by Granta Magazine as one of the Best of Young American Novelists of her generation. \nKaty Waldman is a staff writer at The New Yorker\, where she writes about books\, literature\, and more. Previously\, she was a staff writer at Slate and the host of the “Slate’s Audio Book Club” podcast. She won the National Book Critics Circle’s Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing in 2019 and the American Society of Magazine Editors Award for journalists younger than thirty in 2018. \nThis series\, organized by the Cultural Services Book Department is made possible through the support of the Institut Français\, Paris.

SUMMARY:Caribbean Developments in the Telecommunications Sector
DESCRIPTION:The telecommunications industry is poised for significant growth across the Caribbean as local governments and private entities expand their interest in redeveloping their legacy telecommunications systems with an eye towards 5G deployment and other ICT initiatives. \nNext-generation telecommunications systems are being increasingly seen as an essential component to economic development in the 21st century\, and many governments\, including the United States\, consider these next-generation networks vital to their national security. Safe\, secure\, and transparent networks will be essential to next-generation telecom development and will provide new opportunities for interested U.S. companies in a variety of use case scenarios. \nIn the Dominican Republic\, one of the largest economies in the region\, upgrading the country’s telecommunications industry has been a central goal for President Abinader’s administration. \n\nIn February 2021\, President Abinader publicly stated that by 2022\, the GoDR will have invested over 30 million dollars of public funds into the telecommunications sector\, including in key investments like 5G and the transition from analogue to digital television.\nThe government also announced plans to build 5\,000 free Wi-Fi spots in public parks\, squares\, and hospitals. This means industries and companies throughout the country will be looking to upgrade their ICT processes and platforms in all aspects of their operations. This will present opportunities for software companies\, fintechs\, cybersecurity firms\, and a wide variety of upstream and downstream ICT-related firms that can facilitate the country’s digital transformation.\nPresident Abinader\, shortly after his inauguration\, also announced that Chinese investments will not be allowed in strategic sectors\, specifically mentioning ports\, airports\, and telecommunications\, which could lead to new opportunities for U.S. companies to provide 5G-related equipment\, like core network and radio access components such as base stations and antenna arrays\, among other downstream products.\nThe recently published 5G tender (005-2021) for spectrum auction (with a winner announced in Q4 2021) will also provide insight into future telecom opportunities and developments in the DR for US companies.\n\nJoin the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Trade Americas Team for an in-depth discussion of the future of telecommunications in the Dominican Republic and the opportunities these developments might provide for US companies. Guest speakers will include: \n\nRobert W. Thomas\, Chargé d’Affaires – US Embassy in Santo Domingo\nCary Ingram\, Senior International Trade Specialist\, Telecommunications Technologies – US Department of Commerce\nLuis Scheker\, Director of Fair Competition – INDOTEL (Dominican Institution of Telecommunications)\, Dominican Republic

SUMMARY:Design for Justice: Hip Hop Architecture with Sekou Cooke
DESCRIPTION:Join the Museum of Design Atlanta as architect Sekou Cooke talks about his new book\, Hip Hop Architecture. \nAbout Hip Hop Architecture\n“This book is not for you. It is not for architectural academic elites. It is not for those who have gentrified our neighborhoods\, overly intellectualized the profession\, and ignored all contemporary Black theory within the discipline. You have made architecture a symbol of exclusion\, oppression\, and domination rather than expression\, aspiration\, and inspiration. This book is not for conformists-Black\, White\, or other.” \nAs architecture grapples with its own racist legacy\, Hip-Hop Architecture outlines a powerful new manifesto-the voice of the underrepresented\, marginalized\, and voiceless within the discipline. Exploring the production of spaces\, buildings\, and urban environments that embody the creative energies in hip-hop\, it is a newly expanding design philosophy which sees architecture as a distinct part of hip-hop’s cultural expression\, and which uses hip-hop as a lens through which to provoke new architectural ideas. \nExamining the present and the future of Hip-Hop Architecture\, the book also explores its historical antecedents and its theory\, placing it in a wider context both within architecture and within Black and African American movements. Throughout\, the work is illustrated with inspirational case studies of architectural projects and creative practices\, and interspersed with interludes and interviews with key architects\, designers\, and academics in the field. This is a vital and provocative work that will appeal to architects\, designers\, students\, theorists\, and anyone interested in a fresh view of architecture\, design\, race and culture.

SUMMARY:Authors Amplified Series: Pablo Palomino's 'The Invention of Latin American Music'
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices continues with a virtual interview with Dr. Pablo Palomino\, Assistant Professor of Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, Mellon Faculty Fellow at Oxford College of Emory University and author of the recently released book The Invention of Latin American Music. \nAbout the Book\nThe Invention of Latin American Music offers a transnational history of Latin America as a region\, it uses a multidisciplinary approach to connect music with society\, culture\, and politics\, and lastly\, it challenges the ethnocentric assumptions and preconceptions about Latin America’s unity. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSpeaker Bio\nPablo Palomino is a cultural historian with a specialization in modern Latin America and teaches at Emory University’s Oxford College. A native of Argentina and Licenciado from the University of Buenos Aires\, he did his Ph.D. at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and was also a postdoctoral lecturer at the University of Chicago. \nHis first book\, The Invention of Latin American Music. A Transnational History (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-invention-of-latin-american-music-9780190687410?lang=en&cc=us)\, was published by Oxford University Press in 2020. His research and teaching include the transnational cultural history of Argentina\, Brazil\, and Mexico\, as well as the formation of Latin America as a region. Palomino worked at Memoria Abierta\, an Argentine alliance of human rights organizations that created Latin America’s first Oral History Archive on state terrorism and political violence. His articles deal with the cultural history of music\, Pan-Americanism\, the Jewish diaspora in Latin America\, modernist press in Argentina\, and the critique of the concept of “Global South.” He is currently working on two global histories: the cultural history of Argentine meat\, and the history of “Latin America” as a conceptual and institutional category. \nHe lives in Atlanta since 2017 and is enamored of the city and fascinated by its relations to the nation and the globe. \nAbout the Series\nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda. \n \n  \n
