Exhibition notes

“Conflicted Memory” at the Alan Cristea Gallery brings together an international group of eight female artists whose experiences of living within conflict zones, or places of political unrest, address the issues that surround the concept of recollection.” (from exhibition guide)

The exhibition, “Conflicted Memory” at Alan Cristea gallery, London, from 29 April – 1 June 2013, shows the work of eight international artists, all women looking at memories, personal narrative, and history of conflict. Each artist has personal experience of conflict  and socio-political change, and the work they make attempts to engage with that past while encouraging debate about effects of such a history.

Rita Donagh

Donagh lives and works in Oxfordshire, England. Her collages fuse maps, newspaper images and architectural drawings to map key events during The Troubles in the 1970s, which she experienced first hand.

Miriam de Burca

de Burca uses detailed drawings and a short film to consider the “legacy of conflict tied to particular places”. In the work for “Conflicted Memory” she refers directly to Crom Estate which separates the two sides of Belfast, where she lived for a time.

Ruth Goddard

Using precise drawings of textbook pages that are then erased away, Goddard reflects on memories from teenage years at a time when apartheid was coming to an end in South Africa. A particularly sharp moment was when all the school textbooks were replaced and she discovered what’s written is not necessarily the “real” history of a place and time.

Adela Jusic

Jusic recalls the Bosnian-Serbian conflict, a memory which is extremely personal and intimate. In her short film, “The Sniper” (2007), we hear Jusic’s voice recounting the record of kills by her sniper father, as her hand scratches out a deep red circle in a piece of paper, gradually revealing the only photo of her father that remains after the conflict.

Christiane Baumgartner

Baumgartner’s “Klassnkameraden” (1999) is a photographic work of three prints that in each one layers images of four children, in fact the artist herself, and refers to Bamgartner’s ambivalent memories of childhood in a historical time and place where individuality was eschewed.

Ninar Esber

Esber’s work builds on references to painters such as Jasper Johns, while she refers to flags as deconstructed symbols of national identity. In ‘Conflicted Memory’ the Lebanese artist offers cans of paint containing a colour from some nation’s flag. The wall drawing then is a combination of two colours from the flags of the UK and Mali, chosen by the gallery, and demonstrating her indifference to the importance of flags to represent a country.

K.  Yoland

Yoland’s installation of prints and a short video  ”X-Steps Removed” (2009), refers to the conflict in Gaza 2008-9. Together the images and video keep the viewer at a distance while at the same time, they become a countdown to an impending disaster at the edge of the viewer’s vision.

Nadia Kaabi-Linke

Kaabi-Linke’s wall installation, “Stigmata of the Medina of Tunis” (2008) creates a collage of transfer prints taken from writings on the old city wall of Medina, Tunis.  The prints are an archive of memories, that may be altered or erased at a moment’s notice.

“Although exhibiting in various media- including print, drawing, painting and video- the artists share a contemplative approach to the emotionally-charged themes with which they deal. “  from Visual Artists Ireland online magazine

In the second part of Globalisation and the Role of the Urban, Malathy Madathilezham will dwell on Saskia Sassen’s concept of the change in the role of the nation state and the growing importance of cities in the era of globalisation.

Saskia Sassen is a Dutch-American sociologist noted for her analyses of globalization and international human migration. She currently is Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University and Centennial visiting Professor at the London School of Economics. Sassen coined the term global city(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskia_Sassen) .

Till very recently, in the system of cross border economic flows, the nation state was the key arbitrator in all exchanges.With the advent of neoliberal practices and globalisation, there has been a ‘rescaling’ of the territories that represent this system. Sassen sees globalisation as a differentiated phenomenon which is not quite ‘placeless’ as is claimed to be.

She talks about three different scales at which these flows can be seen to exist;

Subnational Regions: These are regions that have come up as intended outcome of policies. This can be seen in the manner cities are gaining ascendancy and considered to be pioneers in globalisation. The focus on decentralisation has greatly contributed to this.

Cross Border Regions: These are regions of enhanced flows under the shadow of policy and many exchanges here take place an unintended consequence and in stealth.

Supra National Regions: Here the importance of the nation state is subsumed and free exchange of capital is facilitated. For example free trade zones, SEZs etc. Here we can reflect also on what is the incentive that the nation state has to invest in the supra national region. In the kind of flow of capital taking place across the world, nations are in a competition to attract capital in the form of investments and supranational regions create conditions to attract the same. For developing countries like India there would also be added benefits of creation of these regions like bilateral trade, improved infrastructure and increased employment opportunities.

In this system of flows, the nation state is not the sole actor in the system which has now firms and markets involved in these processes which are enabled by new policies and international standards of the nation states themselves.

One of the main indicators of these are the growing number of cross border mergers, acquisitions and financial centres. Therefore, it can be seen that while there is huge potential for global dispersal and mobility, this system also brings about territorial concentration of resources that are required to manage the dispersal. As a result, Sassen like Brenner says that the growing number of cities are playing an important role in connecting the national economies with the global ‘circuits’. Thus with the growth of global transactions these links become stronger and pronounced in which particular cities are bound in linkages.

Thus in contrast to the earlier era when the cities were considered more as part of a nation state or region, the cities now while still part of the nation become also nodes of the flow of globalisation and address the ambitions of the nation where the nation would also be an investor. Within cities would be embedded different kinds of flows which in turn undergoes pressures due to rescaling at city level.

As cities become nodes for globalisation, there is also a creation of a hierarchy where the cities of the ‘North Atlantic System’ occupy the higher and bulk of the flows. These are regions where the headquarters of multinational organisations are situated. Thus even with the increased use of new telecommunication technologies, there is a tendency of territorial concentration of top level management functions which seem to still benefit from agglomeration economics. Sassen explains this by saying that business networks as opposed to technical networks thrive on economies of agglomeration.

Thus one of the key elements in the current global system is the simultaneous geographic dispersal and concentration of a firm’s operations. In addition, a major component of the global economy is the rise of global financial markets which have gained importance because they enable instantaneous transaction of money and information around the globe through electronic systems. It is interesting to note here that here too there is a disproportionate concentration of location of these markets in the cities of the global North.

Sassen explores the reason behind this form of territorial concentration. According to her the forms of globalization have created a specific organisational requirements like expansion of command function and increase in demand for specialized services (also referred to as corporate services complex) for the firms. The specialised functions are often outsourced to specialized firms rather than produced inhouse. It is seen that these agglomeration of specialized firms are more available in highly developed countries and particularly in ‘global’ cities. So these the availability of these strategic corporate and command function are more in the network of major global and financial markets.

Furthermore, infrastructure requirements of leading firms in information industries are also high with good facilities and capacity for global communication. These factors actually aid in territorial concentration and formation of hierarchy of cities and global cities.It is also pertinent to note about the relationship between nation, state and city in this context. According to Sassen,there is recalibration of these scales and they become embedded within the the city. For example, in the case of Mumbai, the State government of Maharashtra considers it as a source of revenue while the national government looks at Mumbai as an international financial hub and a major node of globalisation.

Sassen discusses how globalisation has got tendencies for concentration and centralising rather than dispersal and decentralisation as can be seen through empirical evidence. Her focus is on how there is the allocation of resources, development and capital are uneven globally and even within cities. She explores the reasons which are conducive or which promote such aspects in the process of globalisation. Both Sassen and Brenner are of the view that cities have become central and important in the context of globalisation.

In 1912 the Underground Group, which at that time owned most of the London Underground, bought the LGOC. In 1933 the LGOC, along with the rest of the Underground Group, became part of the new London Passenger Transport Board. The name London General was replaced by London Transport, which became synonymous with the red London bus.

Universities have already suffered severe cuts to their government funding for teaching and capital. Most are braced for further reductions when George Osborne unveils his comprehensive spending review on 26 June. Yet vice-chancellors warn that there are few pots of money left to raid, and further scything of the universities budget could seriously threaten the quality of teaching and science.

Although none is keen to say so publicly yet, some vice-chancellors see changing the student finance arrangements as a fairly painless way of absorbing cuts.

Backing them up is Nicholas Barr, professor of public economics at the London School of Economics and one of the leading experts on student loans. This, he argues, is a no-brainer. At present, graduates have to start repaying their loans when they earn £21,000 or more, but Barr is adamant that this should drop to £18,000.

“The problem with the current arrangement is that the repayment threshold is so high that far too many graduates do not repay the loan in full,” he says. “Of course, the National Union of Students and some posturing politicians would say lowering it to £18,000 was hitting graduates, but let’s get this in proportion. It would only add £22.50 a month to repayments.”

He adds: “The purpose of student loans isn’t to help the poor – there are much better ways of doing that. Politicians claiming that they have changed loan repayments to help poor people are just playing political games, or showing total economic illiteracy.”

At present, the £21,000 repayment level is also index-linked to changes in wages. Vice-chancellors are suggesting that one less politically explosive way of saving money would be to remove this index, so that over time graduates would start to repay sooner anyway – perhaps without even noticing the change.

The head of one modern university says: “There is quite a lot of evidence that students and parents don’t really understand the new financial system, so you could play around with it quite easily.”

He adds: “I fully expect the government to say the repayment threshold will be fixed in pound terms. That would make a big difference pretty quickly.”

However, the NUS is furious that graduates might be used as a sort of shield to deflect cuts. Liam Burns, its president, says: “A cut in the repayment threshold stands to take money out of lower-earning graduates’ pockets and would further undermine the claims ministers have made for their policies.

Happy Birthday FA von Hayek

Wiki Bio

 

” Friedrich August Hayek ; 8 May 1899 – 23 March 1992), born in Austria-Hungary as Friedrich August von Hayek and frequently known as F. A. Hayek, was an Austrian, later turned British,^[1] economist and philosopher best known for his defense of classical liberalism. In 1974, Hayek shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (with Gunnar Myrdal) for his “pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and … penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena”.^[2]

Hayek is an economist^[3] and major political thinker of the twentieth century.^[4] Hayek’s account of how changing prices communicate information which enables individuals to coordinate their plans is widely regarded as an important achievement in economics.^[5] He also contributed to the fields of systems thinking, jurisprudence, neuroscience, and the history of ideas.^[6]

Hayek served in World War I and said that his experience in the war and his desire to help avoid the mistakes that had led to the war led him to his career. Hayek lived in Austria, Great Britain, the United States and Germany, and became a British subject in 1938. He spent most of his academic life at the London School of Economics (LSE), the University of Chicago, and the University of Freiburg.

In 1984, he was appointed as a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour by Queen Elizabeth II on the advice of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher for his “services to the study of economics”.^[7] He was the first recipient of the Hanns Martin Schleyer Prizein 1984.^[8] He also received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1991 from president George H. W. Bush.^[9] In 2011, his articleThe Use of Knowledge in Society was selected as one of the top 20 articles published in the American Economic Review during its first 100 years.^[10]“

 

 

 

 

 

 

Concise Encyclopedia Of Economics:

 

” If any twentieth-century economist was a Renaissance man, it was Friedrich Hayek. He made fundamental contributions in political theory, psychology, and economics. In a field in which the relevance of ideas often is eclipsed by expansions on an initial theory, many of his contributions are so remarkable that people still read them more than fifty years after they were written. Many graduate economics students today, for example, study his articles from the 1930s and 1940s on economics and knowledge, deriving insights that some of their elders in the economics profession still do not totally understand. It would not be surprising if a substantial minority of economists still read and learn from his articles in the year 2050. In his book Commanding Heights, Daniel Yergin called Hayek the “preeminent” economist of the last half of the twentieth century.”

I was born in Sarajevo – the city with a soul – which I was evacuated from during the war in former Yugoslavia. I happily grew up in beautiful Prague, in Czech Republic known as a heart of Europe. Thanks to my parents – my mentality remains more Balkan-ish, which includes being temperamental, loving Bosnian food (čevapi, pljeskavice, uštipci, sudžuk,..) and Bosnian cursing, it simply sounds better. I have bachelor’s degree from University of Economics in Prague, I will continue with my Master’s degree in London at London School of Economics starting October 2013. I have experiences with UNICEF – Almaty, Kazakhstan and many SOS Children’s Villages from the Balkans and Czech Republic.

Currently I am an intern at Permanent Mission of the Czech Republic to the UN. It is hard to tell what has influenced me the most in my life, my heroic family, war which I don’t even remember but had accompanied my life since beginning, or the fact that I know around 150 children who happened to have unfortunate fates and need someone to help them.. but I am going to study MSc in Population and Development and I am naively hoping to help someone one day. Children from any part of the World, youngsters who leave their countries for different reasons or maybe I could solve the dilemma of Jeffrey Sachs and William Easterly whether bed nets should be given for free, or poor should pay for it to appreciate it more and therefore use it. There’s a lot on my mind but I am still not quite sure how to grasp it.

Hopefully this blog will help me to open my eyes.

Beriwck Street Market in Soho.

*

Back in 1893, the London County Council’s Public Control Department commissioned a report into the capital’s 138 markets examining their size, income, impact on the local area and so on.

Intriguingly, the report singled out three markets in particular- all of which lay in what were then impoverished areas- suggesting that they should be drastically expanded with large, purpose built premises containing both stall space and other amenities for the benefit of the public.

The document contained sketches of these proposals… none of which were ever put into practice.

Had the schemes been embraced, the districts in which they stood would have been greatly altered and would no doubt appear very different today.

Here is a brief glimpse, therefore of a London that never was…

Leather Lane Market

Leather Lane runs parallel to Hatton Garden; London’s famous jewellery quarter.

A quiet Leather Lane today (image: Google Streetview).

Although leather goods were indeed sold here, it is believed that the name derives from ‘leveroune’; the French term for greyhound and probably the name of a once local tavern. (Nowadays, the word is spelt ‘levrier’).

An 18th century Greyhound (image: Christies).

According to the 1893 report, the market held on Leather Lane has “existed from time immemorial” and that the area was “a poor and densely populated district” inhabited by residents who are “chiefly of the labouring class.”

“The eviction of poor Irish families” from Leather Lane, Illustrated London News, January 1892.

The report also described Leather Lane market as being severely overcrowded; “serious inconvenience is caused to the vehicular and general traffic, which on Saturday becomes entirely blocked… At midday in the fruit season the market is densely packed with work-people, lads and girls.”

In order to eradicate this congestion and also to “improve the dwellings of the poor”, the report suggested that a huge, purpose built hall be constructed to accommodate the market.

Floor plan of the proposed Leather Market.

Had it materialized, the market hall would have been circular with ample space for stalls, washing facilities and even a playground on the roof!

The proposed building for Leather Lane.

At the centre of the market there would have been a bandstand, below which would have been a “coffee tavern.”

Where the market would have stood…

Although this grand version never made it off the page, Leather Lane Market survives to this day, albeit on a far smaller scale than its Victorian heyday.

Strutton Ground Market

Established in the 1860s and located moments away from Westminster Abbey, Strutton Ground Market runs along a narrow lane linking Victoria Street to Horseferry Road.

Strutton Ground (image: Google Streetview).

The name derives from ‘Stourton House’; a mansion once based in the area which belonged to the Lord Dacre of the South.

The County Council’s report stated that Strutton Ground was part of “an old district, very thickly populated, the residents, exclusive of the shop-keepers, consisting chiefly of artizans, labourers and the poorer class.”

As with the proposals for Leather Lane, the report envisioned a large market hall with a bandstand, coffee shop and roof-top playground. The exterior was a rather different design though; a bold, rectangular block:

Where the market would have stood if built.

As with Leather Lane, these plans were never used. The market on Strutton Ground continued without development and still operates today. It is especially popular with workers from the many nearby offices.

Clare Market

Clare Market began operating in the 17^th century and took its name from the Earl of Clare, John Holles who owned the land.

Location of the former Clare Market.

The 1890s report described the area served by Clare Market as being “very densely populated… chiefly occupied by the poorest class of people who are crowded into courts, alleys and lodging houses.”

Clare Market, The Illustrated London News, September 1891.

With trade at Clare Market in steep decline, the report’s proposal was not as grand as those dedicated to Leather Lane and Strutton Ground, simply consisting of a basic floor plan.

However, like the other two proposals, running water, a bandstand, coffee tavern and overhead playground were all key components which it was hoped would go some way to alleviating poverty in the area if implemented.

The 1890s proposed floor plan for Clare Market.

Although the report stated that “the Strand Board of Works is of opinion that the market should be allowed to remain”, Clare Market and its surrounding slums were swept away just seven years later, replaced by the grandiose Kingsway and Aldwych development.

Today, the spot is now home to the London School of Economics, thus linking Clare Market to financial markets rather than those of the costermonger.
