During my days in academia, this sort of conference abstract would have tempted me, just to see what the hell they were talking about:
Contemporary political discourse on armed violence and insecurity
has been largely shaped by references to spatial knowledge, simulation,
and control: “human terrain”, “urban clutter”, “terrorist sanctuaries”,
“failed states”, “core-periphery”. The historical counterpoint to this
is to be found in the key role the successive technologies of clock,
engine, computer, and network have all played in spatializing the
practice of warfare. In this context, what implications do “feral”
Third World cities, “rogue” cities organized along non-Western ideas of
urban space and infrastructure, and “wild” cities reclaimed by nature,
have for the battlespaces of today and tomorrow?
It might turn out to be a brilliant example of original thinking, or an incredibly goofy whackfest. As my professorial friends at Poliblogger and Fruits and Votes can tell you, it's the sort of risk you take in the world of higher education.
If I had to guess, I'd go with "an incredibly goofy whackfest"--but then that's just playin' the odds.

Hehe. As one who has been instrumental in getting this event off the ground, I'd rather hope to avoid any goofiness or whacko behaviour. However, I can see your point. Both speakers - Geoff Manaugh of BLDGBLOG, and Antoine Bousquet of Birkbeck College - are credentialed, original, and worth reading and listening to. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, of course, and I'm as intrigued as you to see how this pans out. We'll be posting full AV of the event in due course, so everyone can make up their own minds, even if they can't make it to the talk itself.

Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro - Playoffs (Black / Varsity Red - White)
were released in April, 1993, and retailed for $125. Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro - White / Black - True Red
feature a black durabuck upper with red and black accents, as well as a very colorful outsole. One of the nicest features of these is actually hard to see, but the Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro - White / Orange Blaze - Silver - Stealth ’s inner lining features a vibrant, multi-colored design which is very attractive. Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro Low - Black / True Red - Del Sol
The Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro Low - White / Chrome - Metallic Silver also features anti-inversion cross straps, poly carbonate torsion plate, air sole, and an inner sleeve similar to the Nike Air Huarache. The point of the inner sleeve was to really have the shoe conform / stick to your foot, similar to Tinker Hatfield’s intentions with the Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro LS - Pea Pods (Midnight Navy / Orange Blaze - Pea Pod). Also (just something to know), the Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro LS - White / Anthracite - Dark Orange was the first Air Jordan to not feature Nike’s logo ( including the Original versions). It was at this point that Tinker felt the Jordan brand was strong enough to stand on its own

Whether this was a marketing ploy from Nike or not, Nike air jordan it helped to generate the interest that, to date, has supported twenty-one different Air Jordan shoes, numerous retro versions, and limited editions.
