Today in Bologna, discussing Southern Urbanism

Today I will be in Bologna together with the friends and comrades of Into the Black Box, following a kind invitation from Sandro Mezzadra.

Together with a number of colleagues, we will discuss Southern Urbanism, starting with a Manifesto by Ranabir Samaddar and a book edited by him, Sandro and Enrica Morlicchio.

I will discuss the importance of centring the intersection between reproductive labour and racial capitalism to theorise cities – and cityness – from and with (any) South.

How is the city – A Lecture

I have been invited by Dr Jochen Schweitzer to deliver a lecture on urbanism within its course “The Global Context of Management“. Below you can find my presentation, which spans from NY seen through the eyes of the Wu Tang Clan, to urbanisation issues in China and the Global South. Feel free to quote and re-use. The public link is here.
