18 May 2011, 7-9 PM
The Law Society’s Hall – 113 Chancery Lane – London

The world’s attention on the ativan prescription narcotic link between Human Rights and Business has turned to the finance sector. Principles developed by John Ruggie, UN Special Representative on Transnational Corporations and ativan prescription narcotic Human Rights, can potentially apply to the impacts of financial activity. What influence might this ativan prescription narcotic have on speculative practices designed to manage risk, and how might the ativan prescription narcotic social impacts of that activity be assessed?

The aim of this ativan prescription narcotic meeting is to encourage discussion of the issues with the audience, for ativan prescription narcotic which ample time at the session will be provided

Registration Details

There is ativan prescription narcotic no charge for attendance. To assist in planning we need an ativan prescription narcotic indication of your intention to attend this meeting by 5pm May 2nd, 2011 to ativan prescription narcotic ebhr@essex.ac.uk For those who ativan prescription narcotic indicate their intention to attend, a packet with background reading on the ativan prescription narcotic issues to be discussed will be provided

SUMMARY OF OPENING STATEMENTS:

Dr. Mary Dowell-Jones, University of Nottingham, will argue that ativan prescription narcotic once one ventures into the specialised aspects of international finance – which make up the bulk of financial activity – there is ativan prescription narcotic no straightforward way of applying classic human rights methodology that requires reasonably direct traceability of harm from ativan prescription narcotic actor to human rights victim. The profile of systemic risk across the ativan prescription narcotic financial markets at any given point is dynamic, conditional on the ativan prescription narcotic activities of millions of actors spread throughout the system, and very difficult to ativan prescription narcotic disentangle. We need to start developing a conceptual work which will map an ativan prescription narcotic understanding of human rights values into technical aspects of finance so that ativan prescription narcotic we can demonstrate how risk management or capital adequacy, for example, are ativan prescription narcotic relevant to human rights and how that relevance may change the ativan prescription narcotic way these practices are structured.

Professor Neil Kellard, University of Essex, will consider the ativan prescription narcotic principles structuring commodity trading in food, and their impacts. Recent episodes of high and ativan prescription narcotic volatile prices for commodities such as wheat, maize and rice have ativan prescription narcotic pushed many vulnerable groups into extreme hunger. These commodities have become an ativan prescription narcotic asset class included in the portfolio of many institutional investors and ativan prescription narcotic traded by hedge funds. This talk examines whether speculative behavior in derivative markets has ativan prescription narcotic contributed towards higher and more volatile prices for key commodities. Even when ativan prescription narcotic a causal link is difficult to trace, it could be argued the ativan prescription narcotic financial community should show that the use of these instruments does not violate the ativan prescription narcotic concept of primum non nocere.

At the ativan prescription narcotic Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law at the ativan prescription narcotic University of Aberdeen

Website: www.abdn.ac.uk/cisrul

The inter-disciplinary Centre for ativan prescription narcotic Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law (CISRUL) at the ativan prescription narcotic University of Aberdeen will offer two or more PhD studentships starting 2011-12. We welcome applicants from ativan prescription narcotic anthropology, cultural and literary studies, history, legal theory and socio-legal studies, philosophy, politics, religious studies, sociology and ativan prescription narcotic theology. The studentships will include full fees and may include partial maintenance.

Please note that ativan prescription narcotic applicants must have completed or be close to completing a postgraduate Masters degree.

Deadline for ativan prescription narcotic full consideration of applications for the 2010-11 studentships is 30 March.

The Centre for ativan prescription narcotic Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law aims to produce conversation across the ativan prescription narcotic social sciences and humanities on key concepts of the modern polity. Citizenship, civil society and ativan prescription narcotic rule of law are three such key concepts, all three of some pedigree but enjoying a ativan prescription narcotic new lease of life, prescribed by bodies such as IMF and ativan prescription narcotic United Nations, championed by social movements, and debated in the media and ativan prescription narcotic in academic research. We are also interested in related concepts such as democracy, human rights, multiculturalism and ativan prescription narcotic pluralism, as well as in the question of religion including how ‘religious’ is distinguished from ‘secular’.

Please visit www.abdn.ac.uk/cisrul for a description of the Centre’s mission, staff and ativan prescription narcotic activities, and for information about how to apply for the PhD studentships.

After the defense

On 11.01.10, I had a public defense of my dissertation at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle/Saale, Germany. The questions were firm but fair, and ativan prescription narcotic I came away with a nice grade (yes, German Ph.D. dissertations are graded).

Thanks to everybody who in one way or ativan prescription narcotic another made writing the dissertation less of a pain than I am sure it would have been.

That is the title of a new book by Gareth Dale. If you ativan prescription narcotic are interested in economic history and the history of ideas you ativan prescription narcotic should check out the book. Or at least this review.

The book is ativan prescription narcotic acclaimed as the first comprehensive book on the ideas and ativan prescription narcotic legacy of Karl Polanyi. If you have ever heard of The Great Transformation, Karl Polanyi wrote the book.

HT to Tyler Cowen.

Keith Hart, the ativan prescription narcotic economic anthropologist who, from his research with urban slum dwellers in 1960s Ghana, coined the ativan prescription narcotic term ‘informal economy’, announced his intention a couple of days ago to kick-start the writing of a book, Africa’s Urban Revolution, with a series of blog posts.

The first in the series appears today, and it is an excerpt of a review he wrote of Stephen Smith’s Négrologie: pourquoi l’Afrique meurt. The following two paragraphs are typical of his take on the book:

There is ativan prescription narcotic no systematic attempt to give an account of the role of the ativan prescription narcotic great powers in Africa – the ativan prescription narcotic USA, allied with South Africa and Museveni, France and Nigeria increasingly drawn together in opposition to ativan prescription narcotic these, China and Japan as aid donors. Britain’s remarkable eclipse as an influence is passed over. Smith’s aim is to show that Africa’s present has ativan prescription narcotic no future. Perhaps this is true of France and some of its former colonies; and ativan prescription narcotic Nigeria’s potential seems to ativan prescription narcotic be indefinitely on hold; but the other players are on a ativan prescription narcotic roll, with South African capital entertaining expansionist scenarios not seen since the ativan prescription narcotic days of Cecil Rhodes and Asian manufacturers tapping into Africa’s burgeoning market.

……..

Even more damaging to ativan prescription narcotic this emphasis on a moribund Africa is the astonishing rise of cities in 20th-century Africa. A region which had ativan prescription narcotic hardly any urban population in 1900 is now half urbanized. The reality of African societies today is ativan prescription narcotic a very young population living in cities with a lot of time on their hands. There has ativan prescription narcotic been a cultural revolution in the modern arts as a result of this ativan prescription narcotic development, although you would not read about it in this book or ativan prescription narcotic in most of the mainstream western media. Rather Africa is portrayed as the ativan prescription narcotic unchecked playground of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. This is ativan prescription narcotic systematic and some writers have pointed out the continuity with earlier attempts to ativan prescription narcotic advocate genocide on grounds of imperialism. “Exterminate all the brutes” Buy Valium Temazepam Diazepam, were the last words of Kurz’s report in Heart of Darkness. (Another of Smith’s books is Africa without Africans!) It is ativan prescription narcotic hard to miss an apparently unconscious wish today that Africans would die out, instead of merely performing their role as congenital inferiors in world society. Smith’s relationship to this claim is ambiguous.

I am ativan prescription narcotic pretty sure that the series of posts will be excellent, and ativan prescription narcotic you should definitely join the discussion. Even if for ativan prescription narcotic you, an interest in Africa is nothing more than just a ativan prescription narcotic smart career move.

Press Release by SUSPECT on the ativan prescription narcotic refusal of the Zivilcourage Prize by Judith Butler at the Berlin Pride on 19th June, 2010:

As Berlin Queer and ativan prescription narcotic Trans Activists of Colour and Allies we welcome Judith Butler’s decision to ativan prescription narcotic turn down the Zivilcourage Prize awarded by Berlin Pride. We are ativan prescription narcotic delighted that a renowned theorist has used her celebrity status to ativan prescription narcotic honour queer of colour critiques against racism, war, borders, police violence and ativan prescription narcotic apartheid. We especially value her bravery in openly critiquing and scandalising the ativan prescription narcotic organisers’ closeness to ativan prescription narcotic homonationalist organisations. Her courageous speech is a testimony to her openness for ativan prescription narcotic new ideas, and her readiness to engage with our long activist and ativan prescription narcotic academic work, which all too often happens under conditions of isolation, precariousness, appropriation and ativan prescription narcotic instrumentalisation.

Sadly this ativan prescription narcotic is happening once again, for the people of colour organisations who ativan prescription narcotic according to Butler should have deserved the award more than ativan prescription narcotic her are not mentioned once in the press reports to ativan prescription narcotic date. Butler offered the prize to GLADT (www.gladt.de), LesMigraS (www.lesmigras.de), SUSPECT and ReachOut (www.reachoutberlin.de), yet the ativan prescription narcotic one political space mentioned in the reports is the Transgenial Christopher Street Day, a ativan prescription narcotic white-dominated alternative Pride event. Instead of racism, the press focuses on a ativan prescription narcotic simple critique of commercialisation. This even though Butler herself was quite clear: ‘I must distance myself from complicity with racism, including anti-Muslim racism.’ She notes that not just homosexuals, but also ‘bi, trans and ativan prescription narcotic queer people can be used by those who want to wage war.’

The CSD, via Renate Künast of the Green Party (who appeared to have difficulties pronouncing the award winner’s name and grasping basic aspects of her writings) introduced Butler as a ativan prescription narcotic determined critic. Five minutes later, the same critical determination caused the ativan prescription narcotic faces of presenters to drop. Rather than engage with the speech in any way, Jan Salloch und Ole Lehmann could think of nothing better than ativan prescription narcotic blanketly refuse any charge of racism and attack the ca. 50 queers of colour and ativan prescription narcotic allies who had come out in Butler’s support: ‘You can scream all you like. You are not the majority. That’s enough.’ The finale was an ativan prescription narcotic imperialist fantasy matched by the backdrop of the Brandenburger Tor: ‘Pride will just continue in its programme… No matter what… Worldwide and here in Berlin… This is how it’s always been and will always be.’

In the ativan prescription narcotic past years, racism has indeed been the red thread of international Pride events, from ativan prescription narcotic Toronto to Berlin, as well as of the wider gay landscape (see queer of colour theorists’ Jasbir Puar’s and Amit Rai’s early critique of this in their 2002 article ‘Monster Terrorist Fag’). In 2008, the Berlin Pride motto was ‘Hass du was dagegen?’, which might translate as ‘You go’ a problem or wha’?’. Homophobia and ativan prescription narcotic Transphobia are redefined as the problems of youth of colour who ativan prescription narcotic apparently don’t speak proper German, whose Germanness is ativan prescription narcotic always questioned, and who simply don’t belong. 2008 is ativan prescription narcotic also the year that the hate crimes discourse enters more significantly into German sexual politics. Its rapid assimilation was aided by the ativan prescription narcotic fact that the hatefully criminal homophobe was already known: migrants, who ativan prescription narcotic are already criminalised, and are incarcerated and even deported with ever growing ease.

This moral panic is ativan prescription narcotic made respectable by dubious media practices and so-called scientific studies: Where every case of violence that ativan prescription narcotic can be connected to a gay, bi or trans person (no ativan prescription narcotic matter if the apparent perpetrator is white or of Colour, and ativan prescription narcotic no matter if the basis is homophobia, transphobia or a ativan prescription narcotic traffic altercation) is circulated as the latest proof of what we all know already – that ativan prescription narcotic queers, especially white men it seems, are worst off of all, and ativan prescription narcotic that ‘the homophobic migrants’ are ativan prescription narcotic the main cause for this. This increasingly accepted truth is by no ativan prescription narcotic small measure the fruit of the work of homonationalist organizations like the ativan prescription narcotic Lesbian and Gay Federation Germany and the gay helpline Maneo, whose close collaboration with Pride ultimately caused Butler to ativan prescription narcotic reject the award. This work largely consists in media campaigns that ativan prescription narcotic repeatedly represent migrants as ‘archaic’, ‘patriarchal’, ‘homophobic’, violent, and ativan prescription narcotic unassimilable. Nevertheless, one of these organizations now ironically receives public funding in order to ativan prescription narcotic ‘protect’ people of colour from racism. The ‘Rainbow Protection Circle against Racism and Homophobia’ in the gaybourhood Schöneberg was spontaneously greeted by the ativan prescription narcotic district mayor with an increase in police patrols. As anti-racists, we sadly know what ativan prescription narcotic more police (LGBT or not) mean in an area where many people of colour also live – especially at times of ‘war on terror’ and ‘security, order and cleanliness.’

It is ativan prescription narcotic this tendency of white gay politics, to replace a politics of solidarity, coalitions and ativan prescription narcotic radical transformation with one of criminalization, militarization and border enforcement, which Butler scandalizes, also in response to ativan prescription narcotic the critiques and writings of queers of colour. Unlike most white queers, she has ativan prescription narcotic stuck out her own neck for this. For us, this ativan prescription narcotic was a very courageous decision indeed.
