[Nettime-bold] SCI_Arc: Terrorism + Architecture Symposium (final program and text)

[Benjamin Bratton <bratton@cultureindustry.com>]

==TERRORISM + ARCHITECTURE

==SCI_Arc 
  (The Southern California Institute of Architecture)
   Fall Semester Symposium:

The terrorism/ architecture overfold is more than the spectacle of extreme
gesture, it is a strategic assault on the fabric of a particular
configuration of inhabitation. It is an attack on a particular regime of
bodily-space, and the programmatic declaration of another to take its place.

The architectures of terror are organized according to/against deeply
habituated cultural, social, discursive, technological, and even topological
lived patterns. What appears to be an attack on a habitat, or an attack on
its inhabitants, is really an erasure of a mode and moment of occupation, of
the meaningful structure of collective organization played out there.

What re-emerges then is both the deeply architectonic character of
political/ transpolitical action, and the universally contestational quality
of space.
