Panel Discussion of Peter Linebaugh's
The London Hanged: Crime and Civil Society in the Eighteenth Century

September 30, 8 PM

National Arts Club

(Sculpture Court, 15 Gramercy Park South, NYC

phone : 212-475-3424)


Panel Participants:

PETER LINEBAUGH, ROBIN BLACKBURN, ERIC FONER, MICHAEL RATNER, ROBIN KELLEY


The London Hanged has been widely praised as as an exemplary, trail-blazing and indispensable history of crime and society in the eighteenth century and on the rise of capitalism. Its highly original and provocative analysis of the
links between new forms of private property and the criminalization of the
poor, illustrated in the public hangings at the Tyburn gallows, has made it a
powerful model for understanding globalization and local struggles today.

Greetings, fellow psycheogeographers, artists of all stripes, curiosity-seekers, interested bystanders!


Welcome to the first Glowlab newsletter. We'd like to take this opportunity to catch you up on everything that's been going down with us over the summer -- a busy summer, as it turns out (aren't they always?). We bowed to a giant dinosaur, walked with angels, were treated to the unsettling and wondrous sight of a darkened city skyline, and pounded the pavements of Brooklyn seeking hidden vistas.

"We Are Winning"
By Writers Bloc

By the time news that negotiations inside the WTO had imploded in the face of an open and unified insurrection by delegates of the global south, the party was in full swing. Members of the resistance --peasants from South Africa, Thailand, Central America and Korea with a large crowd of global justice activists still high from the success of the previous day's 'grande manifestation' -- danced around the fountain. At kilometer zero, the spot where Lee Kyung Have fell by his own hand just a few days earlier, ecstatic celebration mixed with memorial, an American hippie drummer joined the Korean percussionists. Mexican campesinos sported Korean headbands and a handsome schoolteacher from Seoul stood slightly apart from the joyous crowd in dark sunglasses and an embroidered ladies indigenous blouse.
