4:00 – 6:00 DML 240 – College Commons - The Infrastructural

Human: Food Circuits
As individuals and as collectives, humans are deeply reliant on
technological systems that serve to feed us, salve our thirst, carry
away our waste, keep us warm, illuminate our nights, and connect us
with others. The development and extension of these systems, in turn,
is fundamental both to individual experience and to the capacity for
collective action. Strangely, these infrastructures of living typically
do not enter into discussions among humanists, social scientists and
natural scientists about the nature of the human, about our ethics and
our politics. This event will seek to address this gap, focusing on how
our systems of food circulation shape us as individuals and as
members of a collectivity. RSVP to tcc@college.usc.edu

Death: Are Celebrities Mortal?
In this panel discussion, USC faculty Leo Braudy, Anne Porter, and
Diana Blaine will examine the mechanics of fame and how they relate
to larger cultural questions surrounding identity and mortality in the
modern age. Of special consideration will be the memorializing of
dead stars in popular culture as well as a cross-cultural study of the
socio-political function of the commemoration of the dead. Be sure to
attend this panel in order to join us on October 23 for a field trip to
Hollywood Forever cemetery. RSVP to tcc@college.usc.edu
