*EVERYDAY MILITARIZATION*<br>
<br>
*Dr. Caren Kaplan, UC-Davis*<br>
<br>
In the modern period, we assume that there is a necessary and<br>
comfortable gap between civilian and military life that keeps
war<br>
contained in specific spaces at a distance. Yet this division
obscures<br>
the blurry middle ground between military and civilian culture,<br>
particularly in the arenas of architectural design,
techno-culture,<br>
digital arts and entertainment, and many fields and disciplines.<br>
"Everyday Militarization" poses a series of questions such as:
when is<br>
wartime and where does it occur? Can wars be said to begin and
end or do<br>
they disturb our sense of time and continuity? Are the
boundaries of<br>
battlefields discrete or do they move into other spaces and
sites? This<br>
talk will focus on the visual culture of wartime to explore
examples of<br>
continuity and disruption in the space and time of modernity.<br>
<br>
Dr. Caren Kaplan graduated from Hampshire in 1977.She received
her PhD.<br>
from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and taught at
Georgetown<br>
University and UC Berkeley before taking up her current position
at UC<br>
Davis.<br>
<br>
