SUMMARY:'Passages' Screen: Reading Latin American and Caribbean Network
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]And the excitement continues on 8th May: at 4pm Reading Latin American and Caribbean Network (R-LAC) are organising a screening of Passages (Nagib & Paiva\, 2019) in the Minghella Cinema\, followed by a Q&A with (our very own) director Lúcia Nagib and guest Tiago de Luca (Warwick)\, then conversation over refreshments. It’s very good! \nJoin us at the Minghella Cinema at the University of Reading\, on Thursday 8th May 4pm\, for an exclusive screening of the award-winning film Passages by Prof. Lúcia Nagib . This captivating 96-minute essay-documentary will be followed by an engaging Q&A session with our special guest\, Dr Tiago de Luca from the University of Warwick. Check further details of the film and the event below and on R-LAC website. \nDive deeper into the making of this remarkable film and explore the rich tapestry of Brazilian culture. After the screening and discussion\, we invite you to continue the conversation over pizza and drinks at the Green Room. \nDon’t miss this unique opportunity to enjoy a thought-provoking film and lively discussion in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nThe R-LAC committee. \nPASSAGES (directed by Lúcia Nagib and Samuel Paiva\, UK\, 2019) \n \nSynopsis \n  \nPositioning itself between the essay and the documentary forms\, the feature-length film Passages showcases a selection of Brazilian films in which intermedial devices\, that is\, the utilisation within film of artforms and media such as literature\, painting\, theatre\, music\, photography\, radio and television\, appear to function as a ‘passage’ to political and social reality. It interweaves these filmic examples with interviews with 15 exponents of the Brazilian film industry\, including 11 filmmakers\, one editor\, one music composer\, one producer and one curator\, all of whom are strongly connected with what became known as the Retomada do Cinema Brasileiro\, or the Brazilian Film Revival\, starting in the mid-1990s\, which brought back to the agenda the question of national identity and Brazil’s lingering social issues. The flourishing and diversification of independent filmmaking from the 1990s onwards favoured not only a new approach to reality\, but also an emboldened use of the film medium that acknowledged and exposed its inextricable connections with other art and medial forms. Though the 1990s Film Revival involved production centres all over Brazil\, Passages focuses on film practitioners from São Paulo and Pernambuco\, who established a creative collaboration across the geographic\, economic and cultural borders of their respective regions. \n  \nInterviewees (in alphabetical order)      \n  \nTata Amaral – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nHélder Aragão (DJ Dolores) – Composer\, film director \nCláudio Assis – Film director\, producer \nBeto Brant – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nPaulo Caldas – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nVânia Debs – Film editor\, academic \nAna Farache – Curator\, photographer \nLírio Ferreira – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nMarcelo Gomes – Film director\, screenwriter \nHilton Lacerda – Film director\, screenwriter \nFernando Meirelles – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nKleber Mendonça Filho – Film director\, film critic\, screenwriter \nRenata Pinheiro– Film director\, art director\, screenwriter \nAdelina Pontual – Film director\, producer\, screenwriter \nJoão Vieira Júnior – Film producer[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Making (slowly) as method in socio-environmental research?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nYou are warmly welcome to join our online Human Geography Research Cluster seminar\, in which Laura Pottinger\, University of Manchester will present: \nMaking (slowly) as method in socio-environmental research? \nIn this talk\, I draw on emerging ideas about ‘patchwork ethnography’\, an approach mobilising the often multi-sited\, fragmented\, non-linear character of ethnographic research in practice. I share early findings from an extended six-year study that uses a range of creative and material methods to explore environmental understandings and people-plant relationships in the practice of natural textile dyeing. I ask how the ‘soft’ metaphors of piecing\, steeping and stitching might be useful for cultivating gentle\, creative and slowly-paced methodological praxis. \nBiography: \nLaura Pottinger is a research fellow in cultural geography at the University of Manchester. Her research is interested in everyday forms of social and environmental activism\, people and plant relationships\, craft and cultivation. She draws on creative\, participatory and ethnographic methodologies to explore these themes. Her current fellowship research works closely with textile artists and makers to consider the potentials and challenges of slow making. \n________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help? \n\n\nJoin the meeting now \n\n\nMeeting ID: 376 315 403 228 \n\n\nPasscode: gs7fj2Jt \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDial in by phone \n\n\n+44 20 7660 8335\,\,989865079# United Kingdom\, City of London \n\n\nFind a local number \n\n\n\nPhone conference ID: 989 865 079# \n\n\nFor organizers: Meeting options | Reset dial-in PIN \n\n\n\nUniversity of Reading \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
