Sheffield School of Architecture presents: 
Global Urbanisms: Relational Geographies of East and South Seminar Series

Lecture 1 of the series by: 
AbdouMaliq Simone, Urban Institute, The University of Sheffield
Regions of Blackness
4 to 5:15 PM, 8 December 2021  

Lecture abstract: Not so much territories inhabited by Black people or even necessarily configured in explicit ways by racial capital, but rather the untoward implications of blackness coming into the urban world, and how extensive urbanization—as a matter of extending entities and processes beyond discernible proportions and values—engenders a prefiguring of abolition, and way of thinking territories of operation beyond property.
