MMP Grad Prog: Jodi Dean - The Communist Horizon (20/3)
20th of March,
4pm-5pm, MediaCityUK (University of Salford building: Room 2.36)
Jodi Dean: The Communist
Horizon
How is communism actual for
us here and now? Jodi Dean considers how communism is the horizon of our
contemporary politics in six ways: the past that remains present, the force of
the ideal, the sovereignty of the people, the desire for the collective, the
common and the commons, and the actuality of revolution.
Jodi Dean is a Professor of Political Science at
Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY and Erasmus Professor of the
Humanities in the Faculty of Philosophy at Erasmus University. She is the author
or editor of eleven books, including Democracy and Other Neoliberal
Fantasies (Duke 2009), Blog Theory (Polity 2010), and most recently
The Communist Horizon (Verso 2012). Her work on communicative capitalism
has been at the forefront of contemporary political and media theoretical
debates with figures including Slavoj Zizek, Alain Badiou and Geert Lovink.
Changing Our Textual Mind
Adriaan van der Weel, the Professor of Book History at Leiden
University, will be visiting MMU to talk about his new book, Changing
Our Textual Minds, on Monday 18 March.
The book emerged from Adriaan's famous course on the History of Text
Transmission at Leiden University. His argument is important, timely
and completely fascinating.
Changing our Textual Minds analyses the continuities and
discontinuities in textual transmission as we move from a print
paradigm into an increasingly digital world. It conceptualises the
transition from analogue to digital both in factual terms and in terms
of its social significance. Our entire way of disseminating knowledge
and culture is firmly based on print culture. The need to come to
grips with the shift to digital textuality in the early twenty-first
century will literally change our minds. Text has always been the
chief vehicle for the inscription and dissemination of knowledge and
culture. As more and more of our textual communication moves into the
digital realm we have reached a crucial moment in the history of
textual transmission. In many respects digital text looks deceptively
like print. But beneath the surface of the screen, digital textuality
obeys very different rules from printed text. The digital textual
universe offers a wealth of new and exciting possibilities -- but it
also sets new rules for the writer's and reader's engagement with
text.
There will be a reception at 5:30pm, followed by a FREE public lecture
at 6:00pm. All are welcome.

MMU Artaud event
The Institute of Humanities and Social Science Research: Centre of
Research in English at Manchester Metropolitan University present a one day
symposium on ‘Antonin Artaud: Affects, Effects, Bodies’.
Wednesday 24th April 2013
Artaud’s influence on theory and practice in the arts is substantial. As a playwright, director actor, film scenarist, poet, artist and critic he challenged existing modes of working and thinking in ways that are still generating considerable interest and debate. His iconoclastic work, which brings the affective body and its creative potential to the fore, has shaped artistic experiment and new modes of critical thinking and writing and substantial critical studies of Artaud have been written by Derrida, Deleuze and others. Diagnosed as clinically schizophrenic, Artaud’s writings and drawings are also of considerable interest to psychologists and art therapists. The event should bring together research students, theorists and practitioners from fields both within and outside the academy.
The workshop will take place from 12.45pm-5.30pm in Geoffrey Manton room 332
This is a one day open-to-all workshop and we will seek to engage with an audience that spans academics, research students and the public.
12.45pm Welcome from Anna Powell
1pm Xavier Aldana Reyes (MMU): Artaud’s Theatre of Affect: From Cruelty to Horror
2pm Ros Murray (Manchester): Artaud on Paper
3pm break
3.30pm Anna Powell (MMU): Passional Bodies: Artaud’s graphics as interstitial force
4.30pm Jay Murphy (Aberdeen): The Artaud Effect
5.30pm close

MIRIAD, Manchester
Metropolitan University, Righton Building, Cavendish Street, Manchester M15

Building on the success of last year, PARC
North West is holding another regional event to give PGRs, ECRs and their
Supervisors the opportunity to generate a series of cross-institutional
activities for this and next Academic Year.
This year the Event Generator could be used
to develop submissions to the Creative Arts and Industries:
Collaboration in Practice conference, 21-22 June 2013 (details
attached). Closing date 25thMarch!).
At the same time we are looking for events for next academic
year in November and March. If you have an event idea already,
or would like to be involved in one, this is your opportunity to develop it with
your peers. These ideas can be topic or disciplinary based, specific or broad in
nature, PARC North West is here to support your events.
The 'Event Generator' is a creative
activity based on 'Open Space Technology' to generate ideas. All who participate
will be able to develop their own ideas or join with others. Together we will
then transform these ideas into one or more events in the coming
months.
You may wish to answer the call to
Creative Arts and Industries: Collaboration in Practice
conference, 21-22 June independent of the Event Generator
