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. Une figure de l’imaginaire social in 2018) and on groups of authors and artists (L’âge des cénacles with Vincent Laisney in 2013). Anthony Glinoer has also led the Socius project\, which has produced re-editions of the classics in literary social theory\, re-edited or original bibliographies\, and a lexicon of concepts (see the open-access site: ressources-socius.info). \n(The illustration is a badge from the Prise de Parole publishing house\, Sudbury\, Archives of the CRCCF\, Fonds Paul-François-Sylvestre (P179)\, M81-14\, Ottawa.)

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: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.
