Really enjoying #seanshibe 's Profesíon. I'm not sure it's going to beat my listening record when it comes to Camino, or Dreams and Fancies, but it may come close...
Here are the other posters (and the original poster) for the Memory Studies in Literature and the Humanities II: Memory, Space, and Mobilities webinar.
The webinar will feature a keynote from Professor Emma Bond who will be talking points from her second monograph "Writing Migration Through The Body" which was really helpful for me in working through the knotty subject of mobility in relation to memory. Apart from that, this webinar is very much postgraduate oriented and will feature 7 supervisees of mine, and papers from me and an academic collaborator/friend (Dr. Sanghamitra Dalal). We'll likely be closing registrations by Monday as we already have 129 registrations so if you were interested and thinking about it, do sign up as soon as possible.
Today's music: some classical (Debussy) but mostly I woke up with St. Vincent in my head so I listened to her 2015 album on the commute and later while working. Then segued into Father John Misty. Good times.
Visited new-to-me pokestops and a good gym battle after my afternoon trip to the pharmacy!
Started prep on the #hauntology paper I swore I wasn't going to present on Tuesday and am now quite academically pleased with myself.
Whirlwind November. Don't know if I am coming or going. Got an article publication, an article acceptance (with minor revisions), and another article revisions required but prior to peer review. This on top of everything else + two medical appointments due. I'll clock in more regularly in December when I expect I will want to be more sloth-like. Wish me luck! 😬
ps: #Watermyth is also in do-or-die mode. Publication by December or bust!
Embodying Space in Hypertext Through Psychogeography: A Creative Writing Workshop
15 November 2023 – 25 February 2024
This creative writing workshop explores the ways in which spatiality and narrative intertwine in the production of hypertext writing projects. In the webinar that kickstarts this workshop, participants will be briefed on general ideas and theories revolving around games-writing, narratives, spatial theory, psychogeography and hypertext fiction.
TW/CW: there is sexual assault in this very old Malay movie. I'm drawing comparisons between the descent into abjection in the protagonist here and Lewis's The Monk.
ps: I will likely surface to post deets on two more events: one a creative writing workshop exploring spatiality and the hypertext with Dr. Darin Bradley, Dr Ewan Awang and Dr Fadhli Kaidhzir as guest speakers (I'll be doing the hypertext fiction workshop part), and the second one my second Memory Studies in Literature and the Humanities webinar.
It didn't take me too long to get home from work today.
A clean home is always nice.
It's a rather desperate week in terms of getting stuff done + academic deadlines as always, but getting stuff done always give me an inner glow of satisfaction. That whole eudaimonia + arete cocktail thingo.
