Dear Colleagues, ** We write to extend a cordial invitation to join us in two sessions this Sunday titled *"The Quickening Pendulum: Capitalism and the Longue Durée (In Honor of Giovanni Arrighi)*" at the annual meeting of the AAG in Washington, DC.
Best wishes, Francesca Manning, Jesse Goldstein, Laurel Mei Turbin, and Steve McFarland CUNY Graduate Center *** *Session Description*: We have recently lost an important thinker, Giovanni Arrighi, whose legacy lives on in innumerable works that continue to vitally influence the fields of economic, political, and critical geography. With these sessions, we seek to pay modest tribute to Arrighi through an engagement with those dimensions of radical political economy most indebted to his work.The importance of such work is paramount in this historical moment, where we find ourselves in need of a deep understanding of capital's crises in order to make sense of this juncture and move forward from it. * Paper Session:* *4452 The Quickening Pendulum: Capitalism and the Longue Durée (In Honor of Giovanni Arrighi) I* is scheduled on Saturday, 4/17/10, from 12:40 PM - 2:20 PM in Washington Room 2, Marriott Exhibition Level *Sponsorship(s):* Economic Geography Specialty Group Socialist and Critical Geography Specialty Group *Organizer(s):* *Francesca Manning<http://communicate.aag.org/eseries/aag_org/program/ParticipantDetail.cfm?IMISID=90035511> * - CUNY Graduate Center, The Albatross *Jesse Goldstein<http://communicate.aag.org/eseries/aag_org/program/ParticipantDetail.cfm?IMISID=90037159> * - City University of New York *Chair(s):* Stephen McFarland<http://communicate.aag.org/eseries/aag_org/program/ParticipantDetail.cfm?IMISID=90043226>- CUNY Graduate Center ** ***Author(s):* *Laurel Mei Turbin, MPH - CUNY Graduate Center Abstract Title: *Militarization in Hawai'i: Nature, History and Imperialism<http://communicate.aag.org/eseries/aag_org/program/AbstractDetail.cfm?AbstractID=32947> * * * *Author(s):* *Thomas Reifer - Sociology, University of San Diego Thomas Reifer, PhD - University of San Diego; Transnational Institute Abstract Title: *Capital's Cartographer: Arrighi's Geohistorical Capitalism & the Current Crisis,"<http://communicate.aag.org/eseries/aag_org/program/AbstractDetail.cfm?AbstractID=32867> * ***Author(s):* *Jason W.
