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).

For details: https://sites.google.com/site/readingemotions/ \nWhat: We established Reading Emotions as a small\, specialist symposium in affective neuroscience with an interdisciplinary outlook in 2012. We tackle a different theme every year\, typically inspired by our current research and/or compelling emerging ideas in the field. We host in the region of 100-150 participants\, although hundreds more have been joining online in recent years. The intimate set-up encourages deep dives in theory and current experimental work\, practical and clinical applications where relevant\, and usually includes an explicit ECR/student training component. Past contributors have included BJ Casey\, Irene Tracey\, Hugo Critchley\, Elaine Fox\, Karl Friston\, Mara Mather\, Randy McIntosh\, Russ Poldrack\, Essi Viding\, Tor Wager\, as well as clinical practitioners\, philosophers\, and on occasion artists and architects. You can read about Reading Emotions\, including the themes and speakers of previous years\, here. \nWhen: The symposium typically takes place over two days in mid- to late June\, with the first day devoted to keynotes and ECR presentations\, and the second day devoted to training workshops and methods presentations. This year’s symposium is on Thursday 15th and Friday 16th June. \nWhere: This year we meet in person at Whiteknights\, our beautiful campus in Reading\, and encourage deeper interactions with our students\, colleagues\, and visitors.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”27214″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”27215″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:CBCP Summer School – Cultures of the book: lithography\, consumption\, reading
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing at the University of Reading has released the full programme for their inaugural Summer School to be held on 20 and 21 June 2023. The event will be held at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication and Special Collections at the University. \n‘Cultures of the book: lithography\, consumption\, reading’ will explore how books have been made\, consumed and read following the invention of lithography in the early nineteenth century. Talks by leading scholars and practitioners will be combined with a hands-on approach using the University’s collections and archives. \nKeynote speakers include Prof Rathna Ramanathan on ‘Beyond the margins: Intercultural collaborations in independent publishing’ and Prof Michael Twyman talking about lithography and printed ephemera. \nOther talks will cover the origins of today’s typefaces and text/picture integration (Paul Luna)\, as well as book-related ephemera popular in the late nineteeth and early twentieth century – the ‘Birthday Book’ (Cătălina Zlotea)  and bookplates (Liz West). \nPractical sessions on lithographic printing will be available (Geoff Wyeth and Borna Izadpanah)\, together with ‘hands-on’ examination of book-related printed ephemera (with materials in English and French) from the Centre for Ephemera Studies (Emma Minns). \nParticipants will also be able to view the exhibition ‘Evolution of the Chinese Typeform’ (curated by Xunchang Cheng). \nEnrolment is open now and places can be booked here. Please email with any enquiries.
