Building upon cr itical geography\, media\, and cultural studies research on infrastructure \, financialization\, and logistics\, Wild Tides unpacks the shifting cult ural and economic policy logics in Ireland since the global financial cris is of 2007-2008. The effects of this crisis in the country revealed the ex tent to which Ireland’s political\, economic\, cultural\, and environmenta l futures were tethered to the turbulence of global financial markets and trade through an over-dependence on foreign investment as a resource for e conomic development. In the aftermath of the crisis\, compelled towards au sterity and widespread privatization by the bailout conditions of internat ional monetary agencies\, this dependence intensified across many sectors of the Irish economy\, especially the media and technology industries. The book unravels the dense cultural and political entanglements of this post -crisis environment across four chapters\, taking the reader through Irela nd’s unique history of economic liberalization and post-developmentalism a nd their resonance within contemporary media economies\; the role of the m edia and “creative industries” in the country’s spatial planning as a tool of economic recovery\; the expanded geographies of transnational media po licy and its labor implications\; and the role of the technology industrie s and their data infrastructures in Ireland’s spatial and environmental fu tures. Although these political and economic formations in Ireland appear increasingly “natural\,” the book argues that more “wild” frictions that a rise at their point of implementation open apertures towards different way s of thinking about futures beyond the turbulence of global capital.\n\nBi ography: Patrick Brodie is an FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellow at 51ԹUniversi ty.

Situ ating MacLean’s collaborative efforts within broader changes the school co ncurrently experienced\, I analyze an exhibition of his drawings\, a print he produced at the institution’s Lithography Workshop\, and a conceptual artwork spearheaded by famed contemporary artist Vito Acconci. In doing so \, I argue that MacLean bridged longstanding gaps between tattooing and vi sual art\, thus reframing how his work\, as a form of commercial visual cu lture\, was produced\, consumed\, and understood.\n\nBiography: Jamie Jeli nski is a Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture Postdoctoral F ellow\, having completed his PhD in Cultural Studies at Queen’s University during 2019.

He is currently finalizing a book on the history of commercial tattooing in Canada that is under contract with McGill-Queen’s University Press and beginning another that investigates the custodianship of “hidden images” b y Canadian institutions.\n DTSTART:20210318T200000Z DTEND:20210318T213000Z SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Patrick Brodie & Jamie Jelinksi URL:/ahcs/channels/event/speaker-series-patrick-brodie -jamie-jelinksi-328340 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
