J. Dean.

How do collectivities desire? This seminar will approach this question from two directions: first, close readings of early twentieth century crowd theory (LeBon, Freud, Canetti, Tarde), contemporary discussions of riots, occupations, and networks (Badiou, Berardi, Guattari, Surowiecki), and recent developments in politically active art (Bishop, Thompson, Critical Arts Ensemble); and, second, a practical exercise in designing and carrying out an intervention.
