SUMMARY:Shifting the focus of the global warming agenda to deal with adaptation and loss & damage (AL&D)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nIn this workshop\, Dr Terry Cannon\, Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies\, will be presenting a paper and leading a discussion on the global political realities of policies and practices relating to climate change adaptation and loss and damage (AL&D). It should be a lively and provocative discussion so please come along. Please RSVP to a.h.arnall@reading.ac.uk by Wed 7 June to confirm attendance. \nEveryone attending the workshop will be sent Terry’s short paper in advance. The paper has been discussed by a group at the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute\, by a group from Toronto\, York and Montreal Universities in Canada\, and now at Reading and soon at Cambridge.  There are many additions and some corrections to be made following the earlier discussions\, and Terry hopes that new ideas and responses will emerge at Reading. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Screen Work Group: Practice as Research screening
DESCRIPTION:The University of Reading’s Screen Work Group is delighted to present an afternoon programme of practice work (at various stages of development) by research staff: Wed June 14th\, 3.00 – 4.30. \nThe screening will take place in the cinema at Minghella Studios\, and will be followed by a drinks reception. All welcome; no booking required. \nProgramme\nFilms to Die For: Wim Wenders and the Death of Glauber Rocha [PILOT] (Lúcia Nagib) \nThis essay film revolves around Wim Wenders’ The State of Things (1982)\, an emblematic cinephilic film that brings Hollywood and European cinemas together in a passionate\, but ill-fated\, affair\, fed on allusion and self-reflexivity. \nCreative Geography\, Creative Connections: Candyman (John Gibbs) \nAn audiovisual essay foregrounding creative connections and overlooked histories in the relationships between a number of films\, their creators and the spaces and social contexts with which they interact. Making use of a concept map\, the video centres on Candyman (Rose\, 1992) and its ‘spiritual sequel’\, Candyman (DaCosta\, 2021). \nsomething is Happening (Christine Ellison) \nThis film documents a residency at the Bonotto Foundation in Veneto\, Italy\, home to the Bonotto Collection of Fluxus scores and concrete poetry. Here\, Christine collaborated with filmmaker Robbie McKane (UoR Art and Film & Theatre graduate) and an international team of designers\, dancers and musicians\, in the development of a live performance and documentary\, in which experimental scores from the collection become access points to open up critical questions around digital devices and the language of the interface. \nGreen Hills and Fresh Fish [WORK IN PROGRESS] (Adam O’Brien) \nAn experimental documentary\, bringing together an audio recording of a poetry seminar (exploring Roger Robinson’s ‘A Portable Paradise’) with images taken by the photographer Peter Adams\, sourced from the MERL archive. It probes the relationship between spectacle and language in our conceptions of better worlds (and how these worlds might work).
