    <title>Oct 13, 2008: Book Launch:  Rethinking Insecurity, War and Violence: Beyond Savage Globalization? at The Order Of Melbourne</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Rethinking Insecurity, War and Violence: Beyond Savage Globalization? is intended to provide a broad and systematic analysis of the long-term sources of political, military and cultural insecurity from the local to the global. Too often the arenas of violence have been represented as if they have been triggered by reassertions of traditional and tribal forms of identity, primordial and irrational assertions of politics. Rather than treating the sources of insecurity as a retreat from modernity, this book complicates the patterns of global insecurity to a degree that takes the debates beyond simple assumptions that we are witnessing a savage return to a bloody and tribalized world.  (Book cover attached)<br /><br />
Launching the book will be Dr Anthony Burke from the Australian Defence Force Academy-University of New South Wales. Anthony has published widely including in the areas of security studies, international ethics, war and peace. He is the author of Fear of Security: Australia’s Invasion Anxiety (2nd ed. Cambridge, 2008), Beyond Security Ethics and Violence: War Against The Other (Routledge, 2007) and editor (with Matt McDonald) of Critical Security in the Asia-Pacific (Manchester, 2007) and co-editor of Introduction to International Relations: Australian Perspectives (Cambridge University Press, 2007).<br /><br />
Please RSVP to Michelle Farley via 9925 8322 or email <a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:michelle.farley@rmit.edu.au">michelle.farley@rmit.edu.au</a> by Friday October 10.<br />

    <title>Oct  9, 2008: Urban Cookbook launch party at Cargo</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Launch party for the new book by Friend-of-BigShinyThing, King Adz:<br /><br />
&quot;Here is an international culinary first, a cookbook with a difference: recipes to feed the creative appetite, born out of the edgy, rugged culture of the street. Jerk chicken with hot pepper gravy, Ras-elhanout lamb, Trinchada, Potjiekos, Rajad’s perfect steak: King Adz explores five of the world’s greatest cities to seek out and cook forty dishes in all.<br /><br />
From Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam to London and New York, his road-trip rules were to use public transport, eat street food, and stay in cheap, locally run hotels, all of which allowed him to visit places that are seldom covered in traditional travel or food titles.<br /><br />
This being a cookbook unlike any other, once your appetite for food has been sated, you can go on to find all that epitomizes urban creativity through interviews with key photographers, illustrators, fashion designers, digital and street artists, skaters, DJs, club owners, musicians, street-savvy talent scouts, and Internet entrepreneurs.<br /><br />
King Adz is a filmmaker and Creative Director of 100proofTRUTH, a PDF magazine. He is the coauthor of Blek le Rat: Getting Through the Walls.&quot;<br />
