Bombing is back in the headlines – but then it never really left. Over the last hundred years, bombing has become the preferred military option for many states, but it has supposedly been radically transformed over the last decade or so by the introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles (‘drones’).
Their use has attracted a lively debate, inside and outside military circles, but this has rarely situated Predators and Reapers within the longer history of aerial violence or the larger matrix of military violence within which they have been deployed. These lectures seek to fill both those gaps.

The Viennese Interior: Architecture & Inwardness; 'The Kiss'
Vienna took its interiors seriously. Between 1898 and 1938, many of this city’s greatest minds grappled with how to structure and appoint the inner spaces of everyday life. The result—the modern home—would possess an interior that (according to its creators) fitted another, more impenetrable interior: the subjective inwardness of the home’s inhabitants. Built architecture and psychic sphere, the Viennese interior was a contested matrix of human values. The novelist Hermann Broch portrayed fin-de siècle Vienna as a 'value vacuum'. These lectures explore Viennese homemaking as attempts to fill that vacuum.

The 2010 Tanner Lectures are concerned with the compatibility, or otherwise, of market-dominated economies with an ethic of care. A key question is whether economic wrongs can be righted, and financial ills made good, not by arguing against markets, but by making a bid for them. Housing markets provide the touchstone for discussion. After all, the ‘noughties’ financial crisis stemmed from events in the housing economy; just as the sustainability of recovery depends on the effective management of home assets and mortgage debt.
