Abstract
The name for the process we call “Globalization” came into being in the
early 1990s, while the process itself came into being earlier. How much
earlier, however, is a matter of great debate and obsession. One
function of this debate over the origins of globalization is to distract
us from speculating about what might come after globalization. In this
seminar we will consider the possibilities and limitations of thinking
(and making) a post global future. Departing from this contradiction--of
speculating on a radically different future from the enclosure of the
present situation--Eric Cazdyn will revue his past and present work
ranging from film, Marxism, psychoanalysis, Buddhism and architecture.
Professor Eric Cazdyn
Eric Cazdyn is Distinguished Professor of Aesthetics and Politics at the

Imre Szeman, Wiley-Blackwell, 2011), The Flash of Capital (Duke,
2002); and editor of Trespasses (Duke, 2010) and Disastrous
Consequences (SAQ, 2007). He recently completed a manuscript on the
problem of praxis (the relation between theory and practice) within
psychoanalysis, Buddhism, and Marxism. Cazdyn is currently in Japan
conducting research in relation to a Mellon Foundation Fellowship.
