Patching the Liberal World Order: How Can International Cooperation Pwn Emerging Cyber Challenges

Thu, 07/19/2018 (All day) to Fri, 07/20/2018 (All day)

The computing and digital revolutions have created new tools and capabilities that are challenging the liberal world order. If the Cold War was an era of static state superpowers, modern computing gives not only developed states but even a moderately trained rebel group their own superpowers: to teleport their presence around the globe, move vast sums of money instantly, and make evidence vanish. From Wikileaks to the hacking of elections, headlines across the democratic world have highlighted transnational cyber-enabled crime, violence and polarization.

The Tucci-Cornetti Lecture

Subtitle: 
Immigration and Italian National Identity in the Plays of Gianni Clementi
Presenter: 
Stefano Muneroni, Associate Professor in the Department of Drama, University of Alberta
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Wed, 04/11/2018 - 18:00

Gianni Clementi is a prolific Italian playwright who has written a number of plays that deconstruct common stereotypes about immigration and look critically at notions of both Italianess and otherness. Drawing on postcolonial theory and migration studies, this paper considers how Clementi's plays, "Ben Hur", "Finis Terrae" and "Clandestini" challenge the otherness with which immigrants are often charged in Italy's media and politics and focuses on the notion of mare nostrum as a hybrid site where individuals of different races and ethnicities negotiate their respective differences.
