Online social networking platforms and the World Wide Web have changed how society thinks about connectivity. Because of the technological nature of such networks\, their study has predominantly taken place within the domains of computer science and related scientific fields. But arts and humanities scholars are increasingly using the same kinds of visual and quantitative analysis to shed light on aspects of culture and society hitherto concealed. This paper will argue that networks are a category of study that cuts across traditional academic barriers\, uniting diverse disciplines through a shared understanding of complexity in our world. Moreover\, we are at a moment in time when it is crucial that arts and humanities scholars join the critique of how large-scale network data and advanced network analysis are being harnessed for the purposes of power\, surveillance\, and commercial gain. To illustrate the potential of the frameworks and methods of network analysis\, this paper will draw from the findings of two recent projects that I led\, Tudor Networks of Power\, and Networking Archives. \n~~~ \nSpeaker information\nProfessor Ruth Ahnert is Professor of Literary History and Digital Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. Her research background is in early modern history\, with a particular interest in book history and epistolary culture. More recently she has explored the application of quantitative network analysis to the study of early modern letters\, and is currently Principal Investigator on the large interdisciplinary project Living with Machines based at the British Library and Alan Turing Institute. \nDr Amy Richardson is a Senior Research Fellow in Archaeology at the University of Reading. Her research focuses on the analysis of new and archival archaeological datasets to examine networks of people and materials in the Middle East\, applying materials and network analysis to assemblages of clay and stone artefacts. She is also a University of Reading Open Research Champion. \nDr Fiona Coward is Associate Professor in Archaeological Sciences at Bournemouth University. Her work focuses on the evolution of human social life and cognition throughout the Palaeolithic but also throughout the shift from mobile foraging to more settled and agricultural lifeways in the early Holocene. She employs a multidisciplinary approach\, emphasising the interrelations between humanity’s physical and social environments\, as well as a variety of techniques including network analysis\, GIS and agent-based modelling. \nDr Valentina Vavassori is a Digital Scholarship Researcher at the National Archives. She is interested in the development of User Interfaces for Linked Open Data\, ontologies and data modelling. She completed her PhD\, on ‘Digital Narratives in Physical Museums. Narrative Construction with Contextual Technologies’\, at King’s College London\, where she also worked on the project ‘Reframing Art: Opening up Art Dealers’ Archives to Multi-Disciplinary Research’ in collaboration with the National Gallery.

SUMMARY:The dark side of prediction: Pervasive false memories for nouns predicted but not seen
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dr Katja Haeuser from Saarland University is delivering a seminar entitled: ‘The dark side of prediction: Pervasive false memories for nouns predicted but not seen.’ \nAbstract: An accumulating body of research has shown that predictability modulates online language processing\, in that language users anticipate semantic features\, and sometimes word forms\, of upcoming linguistic material. In contrast\, there is a shortage of studies addressing the longer-term memory consequences of having predictions confirmed or disconfirmed. In this talk\, I will show how my work has helped inform research on the conditions that enable word form prediction during reading\, and that promote learning following prediction error. In particular\, I will highlight how psycholinguistic concepts can inform theories on memory consolidation and error-driven language learning. I will conclude with an outlook on my current research agenda that investigates memory illusions rooted in predictive processing from a lifespan perspective. \nJoin the online seminar on Microsoft Teams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Valeria Illuminati\, Roberta Pederzoli\, and Beatrice Spallaccia\, ‘The G-Book Project. Literature for children and YAs from a gender perspective: literary and translation issues’
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the CBCP and Outside in World Webinar series on Children’s Literature and Translation and is open to all. To register to join us via Zoom click here. \nSpeakers: Valeria Illuminati\, Roberta Pederzoli\, and Beatrice Spallaccia (University of Bologna\, MeTRa Centre – Research Centre on Mediation and Translation by and for Children and Young Adults) \nThe CBCP x OIW webinar series is delighted to welcome a team of speakers from the European G-Book projects. The projects G-BOOK 1 and 2 (Gender Identity: Child Readers and Library Collections and European teens as readers and creators in gender-positive narratives) aim to promote gender positive children’s and young adult literature in terms of roles and models\, a literature that is open-minded\, plural\, varied\, free from stereotypes\, and that encourages respect and diversity. The first part of the webinar will develop a critical-theoretical reflection on literature for children and young adults from a gender perspective and on its translation. In particular\, we will discuss: \n\ngender representations and stereotypes\nfamilies\nmale and female characters\nLGBTQ+ issues\nand the G-BOOK European projects.\n\nThe second part will explore case studies of LGBTQ+ themed illustrated books in English and French translated into Italian. We will analyze both the paratext and the text itself\, showing how in the transfer from one language and culture to another there are some shifts and changes\, which are not necessarily questionable\, but however present the source text in a new light and produce a different effect on the target reader.

SUMMARY:FTT Seminar: Mysticism and Spirituality in Film and Performance
DESCRIPTION:RUINS – An Archaeological Excavation\nSilvia Battista\nThis presentation stems from the practice-research Spirits Read Foucault to explore questions around traces\, ruins\, and their value for future ‘ruminations’. It does not follow a linear structure\, but it is organized around a list of 13 fragments\, ruins of my own thinking. I encourage participants to treat them as an archaeologist would do with founded fragments: weave a fabric of their own by following intuitive impulses. \nSpirits Read Foucault (2015-2019) consists in a video-performance-research-experiment that employs storytelling\, guided visualization\, and mental imaginary. The aim is experiential wherein performance is used as a vehicle to guide audiences to reflect on the meanings of our embodied lives\, on the identity politics attached to our bodies and their appearances\, and on what – if something – remains after the physical body is no longer physically present. The intention is to encourage attention toward the intertwined body-mind liminal complex\, as an order of materiality that crosses beyond its discrete boundaries to meet the spiritual. \nSpirits Read Foucault is permanently available on RUINS\, the online festival curated by the artist\, scholar [M]Dudek and BARS – the British Association of Religious Studies. \nInstructions: Please sign up to the festival – it is a very easy process. Once signed up\, you will be able to sign in any time you want – there are many interesting works to be explored. \nWhen you enter the platform click on Spirits Read Foucault – on the top\, right corner. Before playing the video\, please click on READ FIRST: LETTER: SPIRITS READ FOUCAULT: ACT ONE. It is important that you do that as there are warnings regarding contents. Once read the letter and decided to proceed\, play the video. \nSilvia Battista is a multidisciplinary artist and academic. She is senior lecturer at Liverpool Hope University and the co-convenor of the international working group Performance\, Religion and Spirituality of the IFTR – International Federation of Theatre Studies. Central to her practice-research is the study of spiritual practices and mythmaking processes in contemporary performance art. She sees herself as a weaver of metaphorical fabrics\, mythopoeia\, and speculative fiction. She has presented her work internationally from pubs and music venues to galleries\, museums\, and universities. Lately\, she has performed at the Williamson Gallery (2022); Tate Liverpool (2019); Liverpool Biennial (2019); and the Stockport War Memorial Gallery (2018). She published the monograph Posthuman Spiritualities in Contemporary Performance: Politics Ecologies and Perceptions (Palgrave) and the edited book The Performances of Sacred Places: Crossing\, Breathing and Resisting (Intellect). \nVisionary\, transpersonal and entheogenic experience in Tarkovsky’s Stalker\nDavid Foster\nAndrei Tarkovsky wrote that his film Stalker (1979) ‘is about the existence of God in man’. This paper examines that film\, and particularly one of its key sequences\, in the light of this idea\, and asks what an approach to the film through this context might suggest about its engagement with visionary\, transpersonal and entheogenic experience\, and about the relationship of such experience to the uses and value of art. Via a brief consideration of the constitution of mankind in relation to the divine as mythologised in The Truman Show (Peter Weir\, 1998)\, the paper draws on some of the work of C. G. Jung\, Aldous Huxley\, Rainer Maria Rilke\, Friedrich Nietzsche\, Mircea Eliade\, and the Neoplatonist philosopher Plotinus\, as well as the writings of Tarkovsky himself and the work of some noted Tarkovsky scholars. Ultimately I want to suggest that the experience of ‘The Room’ in Stalker would be the experience of ‘the Real’: the ineffable\, the absolutely paradoxical\, that which is beyond symbolisation but upon which manifestation is founded. \nDavid Foster is a visual artist and a lecturer in film at the University of Reading. He makes artwork about his experience of and relationship with place\, land\, and the natural world. He works mainly with photography\, especially double-exposure photography\, but also with video\, film\, text\, and found objects. In recent years\, his practice has been funded by several grants from Arts Council England\, and solo exhibitions of his work have been held in Oxford\, Suffolk\, Dorset and Sussex. David’s main interest as a film scholar is the ‘art cinema’ of such filmmakers as Andrei Tarkovsky\, Ingmar Bergman\, Jean-Luc Godard\, Michael Haneke and others\, but his previously published research has mostly related to some of Samuel Beckett’s work and has appeared in Screen\, Studies in European Cinema\, the Journal of Beckett Studies\, the Moving Image Review and Art Journal\, Samuel Beckett Today/Aujourd’hui\, and in edited collections. \nAbout this event\nThe FTT Research Seminar Series is hosted by the University of Reading and puts research from scholars in Film\, Theatre and Television into dialogue. This celebrates the exciting intersection of these fields within our department and seeks to support collaboration and conversation across Film\, Theatre\, and Television. \nEach invited paper is 25-30 minutes long and is followed by a participatory Q&A discussion. This seminar will be held online. \nReserve your space on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Anthony Glinoer\, ‘Between Archives and Databases. The Archives éditoriales platform.’
DESCRIPTION:Join us online to hear Anthony Glinoer (University of Sherbrooke\, Quebec) talking about The Archives éditoriales platform http://archiveseditoriales.net.  \nThis event is free and open to all. To register for the Zoom link\, click here. \nA presentation of the internet platform Archives éditoriales (http://archiveseditoriales.net) and of the research partnership project of francophone publishers’ archives\, which made the platform possible. Amongst the tools made available on the platform (a database of more than a thousand interviews with francophone publishers about their publishing activity\, digital exhibitions\, a blog\, etc.)\, Anthony will focus on the database of publishers’ archives\, addressing the questions of why\, how and when publishing houses tend to donate their archives to public institutions. \nAnthony Glinoer is a professor at the University of Sherbrooke (Quebec). His work focusses primarily on the history of publishing (Naissance de l’Éditeur with Pascal Durand in 2005)\, on the study of representations of the literary life (La bohème.

SUMMARY:Essential minerals in milk: their variation and nutritional implications hybrid event
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Institute for Food\, Nutrition and Health’s hybrid event “Essential minerals in milk: their variation and nutritional implications” showcases the results from the EIT Food project NUTRIMILK\, an investigation of the variation in macrominerals and trace elements in retail milk throughout the year and the nutritional implications for consumers. The hybrid event will take place on Friday 16 December at 12.00 – 14.00\, in-person at the Frank Parkinson room\, Agriculture Building\, University of Reading\, as well as live online via MS Teams\, and includes two parts: \n\n12:00-13:00 (hybrid). Presentation: Macrominerals and trace elements in cows’ retail milk: seasonal variation and implications for consumer nutrition\, by Dr Sokratis Stergiadis\, Associate Professor at the University of Reading\n13:00-14:00 (in-person only). Networking and lunch: Tea/coffee and lunch will be provided for those who will be able to attend in-person at the Frank Parkinson room.\n\nThe attendance is free but registration for both\, in-person and online is required. Deadline for registration is Monday 12 December 17:00 GMT. \nTo register your attendance\, please visit our webinar Eventbrite page. Please feel free to share the invitation within your professional networks. \nAbstract: Milk is an important dietary source of essential macrominerals and trace elements (Ca\, I\, P\, Zn\, K\, Se\, Mg\, Na)\, but there is substantial seasonal variation in their concentrations because of different feeding management between seasons. This large variation may increase the risk of nutrient imbalances throughout the year\, particularly in demographics with higher requirements (toddlers\, children\, pregnant/nursing women). Farm-to-fork interventions can improve consistency in mineral composition but the seasonal and production systems’ variation of the retail milk mineral profile is unknown\, thus making it difficult for the food and livestock industry to identify the potential risks to nutrient supply. This project study will investigate the seasonal variation in macromineral and trace element concentrations of milk from conventional and organic dairy systems\, and assess the impact on mineral intakes of the different demographics across the year. Results can be used to inform food-chain interventions for optimum milk mineral contents.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”25792″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Catherine Butler\, ‘Studio Ghibli and British Children’s Literature in Japan’
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the CBCP and Outside in World Webinar series on Children’s Literature and Translation.  \nJoin us online to hear Catherine Butler (Cardiff) talking about ‘Studio Ghibli and British Children’s Literature in Japan’.  \nThis event is free and open to all. To register for the Zoom link\, click here. \nHayao Miyazaki has had a lifelong interest in British children’s literature\, and an influential role in popularising it in Japan\, notably through the animations he created at Studio Ghibli. In this talk I will discuss some aspects of that contribution\, and that of directors whom Miyazaki directly influenced\, especially his protogé\, Hiromasa Yonebayashi. But I will also ask two questions: why does Hayao Miyazaki\, who loves British children’s books and has adapted several\, never used Britain as a setting? And what are the consequence of taking a story from one setting and medium and putting it into another? \nCatherine Butler is Reader in English Literature at Cardiff University. Her academic books include Four British Fantasists (2006)\, Reading History in Children’s Books (with Hallie O’Donovan\, 2012) and Literary Studies Deconstructed (2018)\, and several edited collections. Her latest book\, British Children’s Literature in Japanese Culture: Wonderlands and Looking-Glasses\, is due to be published by Bloomsbury in 2023. She has also published six novels for children and teenagers. Catherine is Editor-in-Chief of Children’s Literature in Education.

SUMMARY:Spaces of Translation: European Magazine Cultures\, c. 1945-1965
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrew Thacker (Nottingham Trent) and Alison E. Martin (Mainz/Germersheim) \nThis research seminar is free and open to all. Join us in person in the Edith Morley Building\, Room G74. To join via Zoom\, register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/428120508967  \nIn this project we study a small constellation of literary and cultural magazines from three countries and language areas – Britain\, France and Germany – in order to consider how\, through translation\, they explore and construct notions of European identity in the period following from the end of World War Two to the mid-1960s. Rapid shifts towards decolonisation\, the Americanisation of European culture\, the rise of anti-militarism and the strategic and ideological conflicts instigated by the Cold War all stimulated an ongoing reassessment of what the European idea stood for and whether or how it might be achieved. Using the notion of periodicals as ‘European spaces’\, the project addresses how periodical culture in Britain\, France\, and Germany used translation to reconfigure a vision for Europe after the catastrophe of World War Two. As The Gate/Das Tor declared in 1947\, art\, music and literature were ‘not the property of one nation alone’ and that ‘a deeper understanding of our cultural ties with Europe is a surer way to international friendship than political treaties’. But what exactly was the significance of the translation of works of poetry\, fiction\, criticism\, and non-fiction in this period? How did translated texts operate as vehicles for the forging of new European identities? And how did the crossing of linguistic boundaries produce alliances across national borders?

SUMMARY:Visiting Filmmaker: Peter Treherne
DESCRIPTION:TUE DEC 6th (Wk11) / 3pm / Bob Kayley Theatre \nCFAC is building a partnership with the filmmaker Peter Treherne\, who has recently secured Arts Council funding for a wonderfully ambitious feature film\, Matter of Britain. The project also builds on a collaboration with The Museum of English Rural Life\, part of the University of Reading’s Museums and Special Collections Services. \nTreherne will come and talk with us about his project – his inspirations and creative ambitions\, and his plans for engaging a village community in the trials and tribulations of film production. \nAll welcome. No booking required. \nMatter of Britain is a co-creative film that performs the Quest for the Holy Grail with the community of Mayfield\, East Sussex. In the Arthurian myths\, knights seek the Grail in the hope of restoring their land which has been laid waste by human greed and violence. This waste land serves as a metaphor for the climate crisis and so the film/quest becomes a means through which the people of Mayfield can express their ecological concerns and connect with the agricultural landscape of the High Weald. \nThe script\, based on Sir Thomas Mallory’s 1470 Le Morte Darthur\, was developed by Peter Treherne with the support of an Arts Council of England Project Grant. Production will take place on farmland around Mayfield between January 2023 and January 2024. The completed project will be exhibited at the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading and Ditchling Museum of Art & Craft in Sussex. \nThe production is supported by an Arts Council of England Project Grant\, the Lund Fund\, East Sussex Arts Partnership\, the Wateryard Theatre Group\, the Museum of English Rural Life\, the University of Reading and Ditchling Museum of Art & Craft.

SUMMARY:Creative Entrepreneur in Residence talks programme: Authentic Enough? Opening up the past with selective authenticity
DESCRIPTION:1st December\, 1pm Edith Morley 127 \nAll UoR researchers who might be interested are warmly invited to join the talks in this programme. Do join us for the presentations and a chance for cross disciplinary conversation. \nSome of the world’s biggest entertainment IPs are rooted in historical stories or eras – from TV series like The Last Kingdom\, Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall trilogy\, to video games such as Assassin’s Creed. \nWhilst the past offers clear creative opportunities – a ready-made storyworld and audience familiarity with characters and plot – there is often a tension between historical accuracy and the needs of narrative\, audiences and formats. \nIn this talk we will hear from creatives whose work has addressed these questions in theatre\, games and immersive experiences. We will discuss ‘selective authenticity’\, where situations when historical fact is at odds with popular conceptions of the past are avoided\, to ensure that suspension of disbelief isn’t broken. And will explore the concept of ‘authenticity of experience’ as a means of opening up the past for audiences. \nSpeakers include: \nLuke Holmes is a game designer for Creative Assembly\, producers of the multi-million selling Total War series. Prior to this he has been an interpretation manager at leading heritage attractions\, including the Tower of London and the SS Great Britain\, and is the author of several academic articles on historical gameplay and ludic theory. \nHannah Price is a director and creative director working across theatre\, VR\, digital\, games and events. She is an award winning freelance theatre director\, founder and previous Co-Artistic Director of Theatre Uncut and has directed theatre and immersive events across the world. She is Creative Director of the Gunpowder Plot\, the new 5 star reviewed immersive theatre and VR experience at the Tower of London – and as a BAFTA-winning video game performance director\, she has worked on some of the world’s biggest titles. \nAnd Tim Powell\, the University of Reading’s Creative Entrepreneur in Residence.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Women Who Invented Twentieth-Century Children’s Literature
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid in-person/online event to mark the publication of The Women Who Invented Twentieth-Century Children’s Literature: Only the Best (Routledge: Children’s Literature and Culture Series)\, by Elizabeth West\, CBCP ECR Fellow. \nThis event is free and open to all. Join us in the Edith Morley Building\, Room G74\, to be followed by drinks at Park House. To register for the Zoom link\, click here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/424176642757  \nPublishing for children between 1930 and 1960 has been denigrated as a relatively fallow period for creativity and quality\, certainly in comparison with the ‘golden ages’ of children’s literature that preceded and succeeded it. This book questions this perception by using archival evidence to argue that the work of what was predominantly a female group of editors\, illustrators\, authors and librarians (collectively referred to as bookwomen) resulted in many titles which are still considered as ‘classics’ today. The bookwomen reframed ideas about how children’s publishing should be approached and valued and\, in doing so\, laid the foundations for a subsequent generation of children’s authors and publishers who were to achieve far greater prominence. The key to the success of the bookwomen was their willingness to experiment\, the strength of their relationships\, and their comprehensive understanding of the book production process. By focusing on a selection of women working across all aspects of the book production process\, this book demonstrates that\, both individually and collectively\, women capitalised on their position as ‘other’ to the existing male institutions. \nThe event will be followed by drinks at Park House.
