> As part of an ongoing collective project, the organisers of this
> seminar series seek to promote a discussion on the rise of rent as
> a form of capitalist appropriation and the way that new levels of
> association in the arts and culture, in information and communication,
> in public taste and ambience have made this rise possible, and from
> the perspective of private accumulation, necessary. To this end, the
> seminar brings together various perspectives on the Art of Rent taking
> in analysis of cognitive capitalism, of the financialisation of the
> quotidian and the bodily, of gentrification and the metroversity, of
> new international division of labour and of governance. The seminar
> will conclude with a special two-day event in September on the
> cultural industries.
>
> Behind this series is the sense that the Art of Rent is a reaction to
> a new collective power among bodies assembled to labour and a
> capacity for ensemble in the social individual, all provoked by the
> migrations of work into culture, language, and affect and the work
> of migrations into these registers of life. For those who work in the
> university, in the arts, and in politics long seeking to subvert the
> relationship between innovation and wage, the rise of the relationship
> between innovation and rent calls not for subversion but sabotage of
> the creative process.
>
> Seminars will feature presentation from the speakers followed by
> structured discussion and questions and answers. All the seminars
> are free and all are welcome.
