URL: From ssnet_list at u.washington.edu Tue Sep 24 17:56:00 2024 From: ssnet_list at u.washington.edu (Linh T Nguyen via Ssnet_list) Date: Tue Sep 24 18:14:03 2024 Subject: [Ssnet_list] New Book Events: Silicon Valley Imperialism Message-ID: Dear all, I wanted to call your attention to two book talks with one of our newest faculty members, Erin McElroy from the Department of Geography. I?ve taken the liberty to bold key words and phrases? Please share widely and hope to see you there! In Silicon Valley Imperialism: Techno Fantasies and Frictions in Postsocialist Times , recently published with Duke University Press, McElroy maps the processes of gentrification, racial dispossession, and economic predation that drove the development of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area and how that logic has become manifest in postsocialist Romania. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Romania and the United States, McElroy exposes the mechanisms through which the appeal of Silicon Valley technocapitalism devours space and societies, displaces residents, and generates extreme income inequality in order to expand its reach. Examining postsocialist dreams of reprivatization and Siliconization, McElroy charts the updating of fascist pasts and geographies of racial banishment on both sides of the former Iron Curtain. At the same time, McElroy attends to how anticapitalist and anti-imperialist activists, artists, and protesters build on socialist worldviews not to restore state socialism but rather to establish more just social formations. Attending to the violence of Silicon Valley imperialism, McElroy reveals technocapitalism as an ultimately unsustainable model of rapacious economic and geographic growth. SATURDAY OCTOBER 5 7:30- 8:45 at Town Hall in partnership with Elliot Bay Book Company. McElroy will be joined in conversation with Manissa M. Maharawal (Anthropology, American University) and Daniela Rosner (HCDE, UW). It?s a sliding scale event but if you?re a graduate student and would like a free/comped ticket, let Erin know at erinmcel@uw.edu. It?s also free for anyone under 22 per Town Hall?s guidelines. Otherwise, you can reserve tickets here . FRIDAY OCTOBER 18 12:30 - 1:30 on campus, hosted by the Center for the Studies of Demography and Ecology at Parrington Hall 360. This will be in conversation with our UW colleagues Jenna Grant (Anthropology) and Nassim Parvin (iSchool). More info can be found here . ?
