"Spatialization of Time and Temporal Diversities: The Transforming Power of Digital Technologies"
Digital technologies, in addition to transforming practices in a number of fields, have had a dramatic impact on relations of space and time.  This talk will explore the "spatial turn" in such fields as history and literature.  The "imperial vision" that comes from surveilling space will be contrasted with the artistic implementation of space as a container for diverse temporalities.

N. Kaherine Hayles, Professor of Literature at Duke University, teaches and writes on the relations of science, technology and literature in the 20th and 21st centuries.  Her book "How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature, and Informatics" won the Rene Wellek Prize for the Best Book in Literary Theory for 1998-99, and her book "Writing Machines" won the Suzanne Langer Award for Outstanding Scholarship.  She is presently at work on a book entitled "How We Think:  The Transforming Power of Digital Technologies."

"Return of the Living Dead: Archigram and Architecture's Monstrous Media" 
Through a close examination of the influential British magazine Archigram, the talk investigates the context, development, and lasting influence of a wave of media experimentation that swept through the discipline of architecture in the 1960s.
