SUMMARY:Paolo Gerbaudo\, The Digital Party: Political Organisation and Online Democracy
DESCRIPTION:  \nPaolo Gerbaudo is the Director of the Centre for Digital Culture at King’s College\, London. He is the author of Tweets and the Streets: Social Media and Contemporary Activism (2012)\, The Mask and the Flag: Citizenism and Global Protest (2017)\, and Digital Parties: Political Organization and Online Democracy (2018).\nFrom the movements behind Bernie Sanders in the US and Jeremy Corbyn in UK\, to the Pirate Parties in Northern Europe to Podemos in Spain and the 5-Star Movement in Italy\, to Jean-Luc Melenchon’s presidential bid in France\, the last decade has witnessed the rise of a new blueprint for political organization: the ‘digital party’. These new political formations tap into the potential of social media\, and use online participatory platforms to include the rank-and-file. Drawing on interviews with key political leaders and digital organizers\, Gerbaudo argues that with new structures come worrying changes in political forms\, such as the growth of power cliques and the need for centralized\, charismatic leaders\, the erosion of intermediary party layers and the loss of accountability. However\, there is also a growth of strong unity at the centre and extreme flexibility at the margins\, creating a promising template which could counter the social polarization created by the Great Recession and the failures of liberal democracy. \nPart of the THI Data and Democracy Initiative. Lecture co-sponsored by the Politics Department.

SUMMARY:Claire Farago: "Seeing the Unmodern in the Modern: Leonardo and the Legibility of Religion"
DESCRIPTION:Written in an era before modern distinctions among art\, science\, and religion existed\, Leonardo da Vinci’s treatise on painting is regarded today as a canonical text in the history of western art for its scientific approach to problems of representation. New evidence suggests that prior to publication this text was appropriated in a Catholic Reformation effort designed to promote a legible style of painting suitable for sacred subjects. Today\, we do not usually think of it as ideologically freighted by the concerns of Christianity with the ontology of images. What does bringing together historical and contemporary theoretical approaches to questions of artifice–especially to the fantasy of a transparent\, indexical way of imitating nature that avoids artifice–offer contemporary visual studies? \nClaire Farago is Professor of Renaissance Art\, Theory\, and Criticism at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Her publications include Leonardo da Vinci’s Paragone: A Critical Interpretation (1992) and most recently\, Art Is Not What You Think It Is (2012)\, co-authored with Donald Preziosi\, as well as edited volumes and other collaborative projects including Reframing the Renaissance: Visual Culture in Europe and Latin America 1450 to 1650 (1995)\, Grasping the World: The Idea of the Museum (2004)\, Transforming Images: New Mexican Santos in-between Worlds (2006)\, and Re-Reading Leonardo: The Treatise on Painting across Europe 1550-1900 (2009). She has been a Distinguished Visiting Professor at UCLA\, the Wiley Visiting Professor of Renaissance Art at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill\, MacGeorge Fellow Visiting Professor at the University of Melbourne\, and the inaugural Fulbright-York Scholar at the University of York\, UK. Working with an international team of scholars\, currently she is preparing a modern critical edition of Leonardo da Vinci’s abridged Treatise on Painting first published in 1651. \nFor information or to accommodate a disability: History of Art and Visual Culture\, 459-4564\, havc@ucsc.edu
