LAUSANNE SUMMER SCHOOL CACS EPFL Wednesday 24 July Memory and Forgetting 09:00 >13:00 Memory and culture Andrea Riemenschnitter Navigating between national memory-places, which are encoded as the location of a community’s political sublime, and the current revaluation of grass-roots’ place attachment, which defies this ideological encryption, we will explore the cultural semiotics of places in the PR China. How is China’s cultural production responding to the assault on the collective forms of memory by first, history, and second, economic development and the wholesale commodification of the planet? How do we bridge the gap between globalized cultural consumption and cultural encodings of the local, including the impact of the global on particular groups and locations? How is the growing urban-rural divide reflected in the cultural production? 13:00 >14:00 Lunch 14:00 >16:00 Emerging creativities in urban China Jeroen de Kloet and Andrea Riemenschnitter How has the discourse of the creative industries travelled to China, with which implication for cultural production, for the possibility of being critical, and how has this affected the city? What different creativities are currently emerging, with which socio-cultural and political implications. Is there any space left for criticality? And how are these emerging creativities implicated in the global cultural industries, such as an art world that consists of multiple biennales, and auctions in places like Hong Kong and Paris? 17:00 >18:30 Optional movie: Fear and Trembling / Stupeurs et Tremblements (movie by Alain Corneau, France, 2003, 107 min.)

LAUSANNE SUMMER SCHOOL CACS EPFL Thursday 25 July Cricket and Cinema 09:00 >13:00 Cinema, cricket, and popular culture in contemporary India gopalan Balachandran These sessions explore the place of cinema in the popular imaginations of modern and contemporary India. How did popular cinema express and shape the hopes, longings, disappointments, and anger of a post-colonial nation? It is a popular cliché that only cinema and cricket keep India together. How did cricket come to occupy the role it did in modern India? How do cricket and cinema come together, and with what results? The readings are merely a starting point for reflections on cinema and cricket as sites for interventions seeking to express, shape, and perhaps appropriate the hopes and dreams that a billion people project on their stars and their work. 13:00 >14:00 Lunch 14:00 >17:00 Cinema, cricket, and popular culture in contemporary India (continued) Gopalan Balachandran Compulsory reading Vasudevan, R.
