Title: Talking with Balder Hageraats, Part 02
Host: Cem Kayatekin, Assistant Professor at IE School of Architecture and Design, inquiring into topics critical to urbanism.
Guest: Balder Hageraats, Founding Partner of ReSeT Centre for Research on Security and Transnational Governance, who also teaches at IE School of International Relations
Discussing: Posing radical questions over a glass of wine in the 17th and 18th century; kernels of discursive dominance; professionals and philosophes; how ideas achieve societal form; Lockean thought and the countryside; the city and the threat it posed to traditional authorities; the mobilization of the rural as a societal cure; the scale of architecture/urbanism, and its impact on vocalized as well as theorized ideologies; the nature of the technocrat, and so on.
Additional Notes: On the close relationship between the definition of psychopathy and female urban sexuality (mentioned around 38'), I am specifically referring to the Progressive Era's categorization of "sexual psychopathy" in the United States. I should have specified this, but it seems it slipped my mind in the moment of the conversation.
The book referred to is David Schuyler's (1988) "The New Urban Landscape: The Redefinition of City Form in Nineteenth-Century America."
