090909 UpStage Festival – schedule announced

by helen varley jamieson

From 2pm New Zealand time on 09 September 2009 – 20 hours of live shows will be presented in the 3rd annual UpStage festival of online performance. The 090909 UpStage Festival <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=210> proudly presents 13 live online performances (cyberformances) which have been devised by artists traversing 9 different time zones. Audiences can watch these performances online, or attend 'real life' (RL) access nodes – physical venues in ten locations around the world. The full schedule is online at www.upstage.org.nz. The performances address a variety of themes in diverse genres. A near drowning unites the cities of New York and Venice in Salvation; a fairytale princess is corrupted by a lifetime of unchecked power and narcissism in Snow White and the Seven Chihuahuas; the butterfly effect infiltrates a virtual kitchen in The Dish; and a group of children retell a traditional Maori tale in Maui and the Sun. Audiences fall into the entropy of a black hole in Open Experimental Zone and encounter the random and meaningless nature of polite conversation in At Home with Mr and Mrs Smith. These are just a few of the offerings presented as part of the 090909 UpStage Festival. UpStage <http://www.upstage.org.nz> is a web-based platform that enables people anywhere in the world to participate in live online performances, created in real time by geographically dispersed performers. Audiences interact through a text chat tool. The players use images, audio, video and text to create the performances, operating “avatars” – graphical characters that move and speak aloud. The performances are accessible to anyone with an internet connection and browser. The 090909 UpStage Festival follows on from the successes of the 070707 and 080808 UpStage Festivals. All performances are live-to-web, but audiences can also attend 'real life' access nodes: this year physical venues are provided in Wellington (NZ), Munich (Germany), Oslo (Norway), Graz (Austria), Nantes (France), Istanbul (Turkey), Eindhoven (Netherlands), Surrey (BC, Canada), Calgary (Canada) and Pancevo (Serbia). The artists involved range from veteran networked performers such as members of The Plaintext Players (Europe/USA) and ActiveLayers (NZ/UK/USA/Australia), to artists working in the online medium for the first time; the youngest is ten years old. The full list of performances, artists, performance times and RL access nodes is on the UpStage web site: www.upstage.org.nz. Live links to the stages will be accessible from the UpStage web site on 09 September; online audiences just need to click the link to attend! The 090909 UpStage Festival is supported by Creative New Zealand <http://www.creativenz.govt.nz/>. UpStage is supported on an ongoing basis by CityLink <http://www.citylink.co.nz/> and Auckland University of Technology <http://www.aut.ac.nz/>.

Technologies and Multimodal Discourse - Plenary and Workshop Day (AUT)

by Geraldene Peters

Hi all (apologies for cross-posting) Notice of an up-and-coming plenary / workshop day at AUT, the Friday before Labour Weekend. Please feel free to distribute. all the best, Geraldene Technologies and Multimodal Discourse Plenary and Workshop Day - Friday, 23. October 2009 Session 1: Theo Van Leeuwen, University of Technology Sydney Plenary: The Critical Analysis of Semiotic Software Workshop 1: Automated Layout Design Increasingly, softwares we use to produce texts come with built-in ‘knowledges’ that control what can be ‘said’ and how. Theo Van Leeuwen argues the need for critical attention to these new developments and outlines a number of desirables for the critical analy-sis of linguistic and multimodal discourse technol- ogy with examples from key semiotic softwares such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Session 2: Rodney H. Jones, City University of Hong Kong Plenary: Body Electric - Technology and Bodily Display Workshop 2: Using Mediated Discourse Analysis to Explore Web Based Interaction Information technology has changed the ways we display our bodies and the practices for which bodily displays are utilized. Rodney H. Jones identifies and discusses new affordances of web-based technolo- gies that render bodily display more ‘discursive’, ‘negotiated’, and ‘reflective’. These new affordances not only change the ontological status of the body in social interaction, but also alter the kinds of inter- actions that occur. Plenary ttendance is free, no booking required. Workshop registration includes morning tea, afternoon tea, drinks & nibbles. Venue: Conference Centre WA224A/B, AUT University, City Campus, Wellesley St., Auckland Workshop For programme details and registration, please visit www.multimodalresearch.org.Contact/Info: Dr. Sigrid Norris, phone: +64 (0)9 921 9999 x 6262, email: sigrid.norris(a)aut.ac.nzwebsite: www.multimodalresearch.org ( http://www.multimodalresearch.org/ )

FW: Global Aesthetics: Cornell Society for the Humanities Fellowships

by Sean Cubitt

>>PLEASE CIRCULATE >>CORNELL SOCIETY FOR THE HUMANITIES FELLOWSHIPS 2010-2011 >> >>Timothy Murray, Director of the Society for the Humanities, is >>pleased to announce the 2010-2011 research focal theme: "Global >>Aesthetics." Six to eight Fellows will be appointed. >>http://www.arts.cornell.edu/sochum/ft_10_11.html >> >>CALL FOR FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS >>The Society for the Humanities calls for scholarly reflection on >>aesthetics from a global and interdisciplinary perspective. We >>seek projects on aesthetics that reflect on the history and >>practice of artistic form in the context of historical >>cross-cultural exchange, economic and cultural flows, and >>contemporary global transformation. >> >>The Society wishes to open the question of what constitutes an >>"aesthetic" approach to culture, politics, community, and being. >>The humanities have a long tradition of situating aesthetics in >>relation to the judgments of sentiment and taste, the pleasure of >>imitation, the force of the sublime, and the theory of >>interpretation. Whereas the modernist tradition might be said to >>have celebrated the autonomy of the work of art, the legacies of >>semiotics and poststructuralism situate autonomy in the framework >>of histories of textuality and signifying systems. Similarly, >>psychoanalysis has positioned the aesthetic in relation to >>homosocial expressivity as sustained by sublimation, an assumption >>of critical importance to subsequent theories of sexuality and >>gender. Of equal influence is the tradition of dialectical >>materialism for which aesthetics has been understood in relation to >>cultural superstructures and sociocultural conditions. Rather than >>seeking the soothing release of catharsis, this approach emphasizes >>the heuristic value of artistic alienation and social production. >> >>Of particular interest to this discussion will be reflection on >>global approaches to aesthetics that have been articulated in >>dialogue with, independent of, or in contention with the Occidental >>tradition of aesthetics. How does the aesthetic function in Latin >>American, Asian, and African contexts? How might the global >>practices of Marxism, religion, anthropology or communal social >>systems dialogue with the Occidental philosophical tradition? And >>how might procedures of criticism and translation enable or enhance >>cross-cultural expressions of aesthetic difference? >> >>Artistic form and practice themselves also play an authoritative >>role in setting the terms of aesthetic norms, goals, and customs. >>How might global artistic production contribute to an ongoing >>understanding of aesthetics? Do contemporary experiments in >>performance, film, new media, literature, music, and architecture >>articulate aesthetic ideals that depart from the historical norm? >>Might new electronic and digital networks, mobilities, and artistic >>projects alter the terms of the global aesthetic? These questions >>are meant to suggest, not limit, possible approaches to the focal >>theme. >> >>Scholars are encouraged to investigate transformations of global >>aesthetics and interdisciplinary practices across geographies, >>historical periods, disciplinary boundaries, and social context. >>The Society for the Humanities invites applications from scholars >>and practitioners who are interested in investigating this topic >>from the broadest variety of international and disciplinary >>perspectives. >> >>QUALIFICATIONS >>Fellows should be working on topics related to the year's theme. >>Their approach to the humanities should be broad enough to appeal >>to students and scholars in several humanistic disciplines. >>Applicants must have received the Ph.D. degree before January 1, >>2009.
