UTRECHT MEDIA & PERFORMANCE RESEARCH SEMINAR ‘09-’10

The Utrecht Media & Performance Research Seminar invites participation of both junior and senior researchers from various research areas in a new series of discussions about the concept of liveness, presence and mediatization in debates about new and transforming media and performance technologies and practices.

In seven sessions we will discuss key publications on notions of liveness, presence, mediatization, aura, dis/appearance, and the relationship between public and private spaces, including work by authors like Philip Auslander, Herbert Blau, Walter Benjamin, Jay David Bolter, Steve Dixon, Adrian Heartfield, and Amelia Jones.

Literature will be selected and distributed by the organizers.

Dates: October 30, December 4, January 29, February 26, March 26, May 7, June 4. Time: 2.30 - 17.00. Location: Janskerkhof 13, 0.06 (OGC), except for the first session in October: Kromme Nieuwegracht 80, 1.06 (Stijlkamer van Ravenstyn)
