His Name Was Not Frankenstein

The fragmented face and the wrath of the clan

Faculty of Geography and History, room 409, Universitat de Barcelona, Montalegre 6

 Why do we find the fragmented face of Frankenstein’s Monster so fascinating? The monster in the 1931film was certainly one of the most successfully characterisations in the history of cinema, but there issomething more: it raises a question that goes beyond the creen and has something to do with the idea of that spectre haunting Europe that opens The Communist Manifesto.

The workshop will dissect the film Dr. Frankenstein (1931) to try and understand how terror and dreams are      connected in the logic of the fight against the master.

ECOSYSTEMIC MEMORIES OF THE CITY

ECOSYSTEMIC MEMORIES OF THE CITY

Collaboration with Bornlab (El Borne CCM) for a collective approach to the contemporary imaginary of natural resources and territory, based on the sharing of current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona.

This edition of the community studies group "Ecosystemic memories of the city" proposes a series of sessions in which we collectively approach the contemporary imaginary of natural resources and territory, based on the sharing of some current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona.

Natural resources and the territory, based on the sharing of some current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona. Through the contributions of various entities and people who connect us with critical archives, social actions and cultural initiatives in the city, we will address the recovery of community forms of agricultural social organization in contemporary pedagogies, images and slogans of movements for the protection of the land, as well as the reflection, from various worldviews, on cultural heritage and in connection with environmental issues that affect different international contexts.

The programme is organised in a participatory methodology that includes working groups where knowledge is pooled and perspectives are shared between guests and participants. In the different meetings, cultural proposals are discussed to explore the relationship between memory, community and ecology through collaborative experimentation and public action, which are included in the fanzine that is distributed in the closing session.

The Community Studies Group is a proposal of Bornlab, the community mediation programme of Borne CCM with the support of community mediation programme of Borne CCM in collaboration with Coalició Prou Complicitat amb Israel, La Colectiva de Chilenas de Barcelona, Comunitat Palestina de Barcelona, Laboratorio Móvil, OVNI (observatori de Vídeo No identificat) , Ruangrupa i docents i investigadores de l’Institut Català d’Antropologia, el Col·legi de Psicòlegs de Barcelona, l’Escola Massana and la Universitat de Barcelona.
