SUMMARY:The Rush of the Orinoco: The English Dream of El Dorado
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 26th October\, 4-5.30pm\, in-person (Miller G05\, Whiteknights Campus\, University of Reading) and online (please register below for zoom link) \nReading Latin American and Caribbean network (R-LAC) and the Department of Languages and Cultures Research seminar series are pleased to invite you to a seminar with Dr Tomás Straka\, Director of the Research Institute of History\, Universidad Católica Andrés Bello\, Caracas. Venezuela. \nThe current trial in The Hague about Venezuela’s claim of the Essequibo is another inheritance that remains from the old times of the British Empire throughout the world. Whilst Venezuela and Guyana await the verdict of the International Court\, many people have started to think about the historical roots of the problem. A long history of all the imperialisms in the Caribbean – Spanish\, Dutch\, English and American – and slavery is in the background of the Venezuela-Guyana dispute\, as well as the Cold War and the oil economy during the last decades. This talk focuses on the intellectual aspect of this process. \nAlongside the British penetration in the Orinoco area (Orinoquia in Spanish)\, among the British developed a real fascination about this area as a realm of two types of utopias: the endless wealth of El Dorado\, and the place where Noble Savages live without troubles. From the adventures of Walter Raleigh to the fantastic novel of Arthur Conan Doyle\, the British Orinoquia literature was an inspiration to traders\, explorers\, filibusters\, slavers\, and poets. Not for nothing the most world-famous novel of the Orinoco is a classic of the English literature: Robinson Crusoe. \nTo register for zoom link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-rush-of-the-orinoco-the-english-dream-of-el-dorado-tickets-443273913207

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.

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: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: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: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.
