Ecologies of Care in a Digital Age: What Remains After Viral Theatre?

This article thinks about the connection between the digital – in conversation with the analogue and after COVID-19 – and care, and reflects on how “viral theatre” has stayed with audiences and schola...

Universities are in a shocking state & the new government has barely begun the herculean task of stabilising the sector.It signals a cultural shift that risks leaving future generations without the critical, empathetic & intellectual tools provided by literature. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

The Guardian view on humanities in universities: closing English Literature courses signals a crisis

13/ Disgust is still such an interesting emotion. I‘m not done with disgust yet. Same holds true for shame. Can't quit this strand of research yet #SorryNotSorry

Mouthpiece by Kieran Hurley sounds like a great play on class, authenticity and appropriation 📝 Great talk by @anjahartl.bsky.social

Today was the first day of #BritCult2024 at @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social!
The beautiful scenery of the Alps is breathtaking.

Today's keynote was by @carolynpedwell@bsky.social on #intuition & AI. She asked, "Perhaps we are trained intuitively to speak in the language of Capitalism..."

What a wonderful time at the #CDE2024 on #digitaltheatre in Innsbruck: discussions on virtual #co-presence, #viralrealism and #care - in front of a lovely scenery! Thanks to the organizers and participants, it’s been sublime, thought-provoking, and communal.

Main Street of Innsbruck, colourful houses to the left and right, a church in the background, all in front of a blue sky and mountain panorama.

Podium discussion on how the digital changes theatre and vice versa, a small stage set in a rehearsal room of Tyrol Landestheater. On the podium, the 4 panelists and 2 moderators are seated.
