Bar Alexandraplatz, 6731 de l’Esplanade
Media@McGill, in collaboration with the Mobile Media Lab at Concordia University, and the Canada Research Chair in Technology and Citizenship, invites you to a “5à7” launching two scholarly collections inspired by the Quebec student protests of 2012. “Printemps Érable – Quebec’s Maple Spring of 2012” features as a supplement of the latest volume of Theory & Event, while “Out of the Mouths of “Casseroles”: Textes qui bougent au rythme du carré rouge,” was published as a special spring issue of the online Wi: Journal of Mobile Media.
The launch will be held at Bar Alexandraplatz, 6731 de l’Esplanade, on Tuesday, September 25, 2012, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. (Food will be provided, cash bar).
Articles cover the social, cultural, artistic, political, and media aspects of the Quebec student protests in early 2012 against proposed tuition hikes, and both collections feature work by Media@McGill members (Professors Darin Barney, Carrie Rentschler and Jonathan Sterne), as well as a Media@McGill grant awardee (AHCS doctoral student, Gretchen King).
