Dear all,
Join us for the Utopian Studies Group’s upcoming screening of the film Sleep Dealer (Alex Rivera, 2008). The film is a provocative Cyberpunk dystopia, set on the border between Mexico and the US in the near future. The wall between both countries is already finished, and a new business model has appeared based on cyborgs who are connected as a workforce through a computer network. This radical form of outsourcing exposes the potential of new technologies for social control and imperialist expansion.
Marcos Wasem from the GC Hispanic & Luso-Brazilian Program will lead a discussion following the screening.
Come join us for refreshments & film!
DAY: Thursday, November 17th
TIME: 6:30pm
PLACE: GC, Rm 5414
PLEASE RSVP by Tuesday, November 15th to pstapleton@gc.cuny.edu
We hope to see you there!
