Following the exciting lecture of Tom Cohen we had a joint seminar by him and Akira
Mizuta Lippit. We were juxtaposing Hitchcock’s Birds with Michael Haneke’s Cache in order to see how the culturally and historically powerful trope of the “house” and interiority has its foundations shaken faced by the problematic of an ecological and critical “climate change”.

Congratulations to Jun Tanaka, member of UTCP, for being awarded the prize of the Agency for Cultural Affairs for his recent book Poetics of the City – Memory and Symptom of the Place.

Kais Firro（以色列海法大学中东史学科）先生于1月28日在UTCP讲演了“双语城市海法的共生（不）可能性”之后，至31日，连续四天的研究会结束，于2月1日回国。虽说是连续四天的研究会，但每天从上午开始进行个人的研究指导，每天的讲演、答疑之后，在联谊会上又继续展开热烈的讨论，回到宾馆时已经是晚上11点以后了。其间Firro先生显示出来的博学、对任何提问都直接面对的态度以及对研究的热情，让我获得了超出知识层面的刺激。
