The Crises of Capitalism according to David Harvey – animated!

Article published: Thursday, July 1st 2010

There’s a great video by RSA Animate of a lecture by Professor David Harvey back in April on the financial crisis and global recession.

The original lecture can be found here where you can download an MP4 version, and the animation is here.

David Harvey

David Harvey is probably the most famous geographer around in the world today, and has been teaching a course on Marx’s Capital for over 40 years. On his website video podcasts are available of his lectures of the course, and Harvey recently revealed that he plans to do the same for both Capital Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 due to the amazing reception Vol. 1 received.

Enjoy!

Or perhaps Voodoo ring masters, descending onto the city streets armed with psychedelic beats banged out by their armies of musical Goblins possessed with the desire for mischief and fun.

Science Slam: a synergy of science and poetry transcends expectations

Poetry and science are two things generally not associated with each other, in fact if you joined the two in a word association test you would be one step closer to a chemical cosh and your very own padded cell. However the audience attending the Science Slam at the packed out Nexus Art Cafe Thursday night will never again doubt the validity of the two pursuits being combined; though I can’t rule out they may end up bouncing of the walls of a padded cell at some time in the future.

Review: Greater Manchester Fringe Festival – A Dream Play

We were outside Nexus Art Café in the Northern Quarter, queuing, when a car raced up, the driver shoved a woman to the pavement and the performance began. This was the introduction to the character Aggie in A Dream Play by the Déjà Vu Ensemble, daughter of the gods, who has come to our world to learn what it means to be human.
