SUMMARY:Exploring Authenticity in Contemporary Literatures in English
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Culture in general\, and literature in particular\, seem to be concerned with authenticity\, or lack of it\, more than ever: authenticity in politics\, gender\, sexuality\, ethnicity and nationality. In contemporary fiction\, especially\, there appears to be a turn away from fiction as traditionally understood\, and a move towards authenticity as an ethical marker of subjectivity. The popularity of such narratives seems to suggest that we long for things we experience as lost\, searching for an identity\, be it individual or collective\, that eludes us. But what is authenticity and what does it entail in a globalised world? How is authenticity constructed and deconstructed in contemporary literature? In a ‘post-truth’ world – a world of ‘fake news’\, viral conspiracy theories and catfishing – is the concept of authenticity redundant\, or more vital than ever? The aim of the Symposium is to explore ideas of authenticity in their various manifestations in literatures in English. The online event will take place over two half days on 01-02 November 2021. \nThe organisers invite proposals of no more than 250 words for twenty-minute papers from scholars of all career stages. Possible topics include\, but are not limited to\, the following: \n\nAuthenticity and gender\nAuthenticity and sexuality\nAuthenticity and ethnicity\nAuthenticity and nationality\nAuthenticity and the global/the local\nRealism\, hyperrealism\, naturalism\nAuthenticity in the postmodern world\nAuthenticity and intertextuality: concepts such as original literary work\, reproduction\, printed representation\nGhostwriting\, diaries\, biographies\, autobiographies\, autofiction\nAuthenticity and adaptation\nAuthenticity and creativity\n\nThe keynote lecture will be given by Professor Daniel Lea\, Oxford Brookes University.\nWhen submitting your abstract\, please also include a brief biographical sketch of up to 50 words. Proposals must be submitted to Jeni Giambona\, by Friday 10 September 2021.\nTo register click here. Registration is free of charge.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Visualising the Database: Early Modern Women’s Complaint Poetry Index
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (CBCP) is pleased to host this talk by Michelle O’Callaghan and Jake Arthur introducing the new online database of Early Modern Women’s Complaint Poetry \nThis online event is free and open to all. Please register your interest to receive the Zoom link here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/181636629047 \nMichelle O’Callaghan is Professor of Early Modern Literature at the University of Reading. Her most recent book Crafting Poetry Anthologies in Renaissance England: Early Modern Cultures of Recreation (Cambridge\, 2020) builds on her digital edition\, Verse Miscellanies Online\, co-edited with Alice Eardley\, and is a study of the craft of making printed poetry anthologies published in the second half of the sixteenth century in England\, showing how these anthologies helped to shape recreational cultures within the nation’s households\, drawing men and women together from across the social classes. \nJake Arthur is a DPhil candidate and Clarendon Scholar at Oxford University. His thesis examines early modern women’s work in translation and paraphrase and seeks to reclaim the expressive and intellectual possibilities of ‘derivative’ works. The preliminary title of the thesis is ‘“The stuffe not ours”: the work of derivation in women’s writing\, 1560–c.1664’. In collaboration with Sarah C. E. Ross\, he is co-editor of the poetry section of the forthcoming Palgrave Encyclopaedia of Early Modern Women’s Writing. With Rosalind Smith\, he has co-authored a chapter in Early Modern Women and Complaint: Gender\, Form and Politics (2020) which considers the implications of digital resources for the traditional first-line index in relation to early modern women’s complaint poetry. He works as a researcher on the ARC funded project Marginalia and the Early Modern Woman Writer\, and on the ARC and Marsden funded project\, Woe is She: Early Modern Women and the Poetry of Complaint.

SUMMARY:Decolonising Bereavement Studies: Diversity and Social Justice in the Aftermath of Death
DESCRIPTION:Jane Ribbens McCarthy (The Open University) \nHuman Geography Research Cluster Seminar Series 2021/22 \nDeath\, dying and disposal are well-established topics of study\, both academically in the humanities\, arts\, and social sciences and from medical perspectives\, including the practice of palliative care. Bereavement studies\, however\, occupies a much more ambiguous space as a site for multi-disciplinary academic work\, being very heavily dominated by individualised and medicalised perspectives\, particularly psychiatry and psychology\, and connected to ‘communities of practice’ in bereavement services. Such approaches are underpinned by the humanitarian desire to assist and support people experiencing something termed ‘grief’. \nRecent work on family deaths in Senegal\, however\, has shown the limitations of such terms as ‘bereavement’ and ‘grief’\, rooted in Anglophone linguistic contexts\, and has challenged dominant assumptions in ‘bereavement studies’. At the same time\, following on from the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement\, work to address issues of decolonisation within the academy has gained new momentum. \nThis presentation begins to bring these ‘decolonising’ endeavours\, and ‘bereavement studies’ into dialogue\, seeking to open up conversations in a field that is currently very heavily dominated by particular perspectives that developed in affluent Minority worlds at a particular point in historical time. Such conversations demand new concepts\, raise many new questions framed within different paradigms\, and create opportunities for addressing issues of diversity and social justice in the aftermath of death\, with the potential for further insights for climate justice for the benefit of all. \nFor further information\, contact Ruth Evans (details below)

SUMMARY:ALT+SHIFT+ARCHIVE: Unpacking the Past\, Present and Future of Digital Archives
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online digital archiving symposium! \nTaking the form of an asynchronous discussion culminating with a series of three live online Q&As\, the event situates ‘real world’ archiving in the context of academic and creative work. \nBased on the digital forensics and data exploration branch of the AHRC-funded project ‘The Legacies of Stephen Dwoskin’\, our presenters and discussants include members of the project team (Universities of Reading\, Glasgow and Sheffield) along with the National Library of Scotland\, Jisc\, DPC\, DCC\, Transport for London Archive\, and a range of scholars and artists. \nBOOK HERE \nThe online discussion platform will open on 20 September.\nThe live Q&A sessions will be held on 28 Sept\, 29 Sept and 30 Sept\, from 4.30pm to 6.30pm (UK time). \nAdditional information\nWe aim to discuss a broad spectrum of questions\, challenges and opportunities\, for example:\n– Snapshot of archiving in the real world – ‘practice’ in the sense of doing digital archive work?\n– Creator of the archive as a creative practitioner – what challenges does that bring in the real world at the moment\, and what challenges could that bring?\n– Research applications for digital archives – how have they been used and what methods might we bring into the future?\n– Re-activating the archive: making use of digital archives as a source of creative practice – examples and case studies?\n– How we collaborate when we work on digital archives – how we build the teams that do the work that digital archives present us? What makes for an effective collaboration?\n– How do we deal with ‘not knowing’\, when we are doing interdisciplinary work? \nOur discussants will offer critical perspectives based on their experience and knowledge. \nPlease follow us on Twitter @ArchiveAlt and on Instagram @alt.shift.archive for more details.\nFind out more about the Dwoskin project here https://research.reading.ac.uk/stephen-dwoskin/

SUMMARY:Dwoskin\, Disability and… Autobiography: Trying to Kiss the Moon
DESCRIPTION:This is the the third in a series of screening and discussion events exploring the experimental filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin’s complex relationships with disability and creativity\, memory and materiality. This event is co-hosted by the LUX and the Centre for Film Aesthetics and Cultures (CFAC) and supported by the Arts Committee and the Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives Fund of the University of Reading. \nWhile feminist critics often associated Dwoskin’s films with the male gaze\, he was equally prepared to turn the camera on himself. He conceived of TRYING TO KISS THE MOON (1994) as an autobiographical film\, after seeing a cache of his father’s home movies\, shot during his childhood in New York\, many of them showing him before he contracted polio and lost the use of his legs. These inspired reflections on\, among other themes\, disability and diaspora. \nAnd yet the finished film is far from straightforwardly autobiographical. As Laura Mulvey has written\, TRYING TO KISS THE MOON “tells the double story of memory\, bringing together the beauty of its documents and the sadness of its elusiveness”. Seemingly objective documents – both his father’s and his own home movies and still photographs – do not speak for themselves\, even to those who were there at the time. \nInstead\, TRYING TO KISS THE MOON is a kind of bricolage that never smoothly integrates its constitutive parts. The documents are material objects\, imperfect\, incomplete\, and made to seem so through Dwoskin’s painterly technique. Finished on the cusp of the digital era\, it can be seen as a farewell to analogue formats. It won praise from Raymond Bellour\, and Nicole Brenez saw in the home movies “magical moments” presaging the rest of Dwoskin’s career: “everything is already there!” \nThe event will begin with an introduction and communal viewing at 7pm on Thursday 22 July\, followed by a discussion with Jenny Chamarette (author of Phenomenology and the Future of Film)\, Rachel Garfield (author of Experimental Filmmaking and Punk)\, and Henry K. Miller (editor of The Essential Raymond Durgnat) from the AHRC-funded project\, ‘The Legacies of Stephen Dwoskin’s Personal Cinema’\, led by Rachel Garfield. \nTRYING TO KISS THE MOON has closed captions\, and the live discussion will be BSL interpreted and live captioned. The discussion will last no longer than 60 minutes. \nBook online here
