SUMMARY:Inaugural Lecture Series - Professor Brian McGuire's
DESCRIPTION:“Online therapies for people with chronic health conditions: Prospects and challenges.”\nIn this talk\, Prof. Brian McGuire from School of Psychology will describe the growing use of internet-based psychological therapies to help people with chronic health conditions to cope and adapt to their conditions.  He will describe the research carried out in his group to help people with conditions such as chronic muscular pain and chronic headache\, chronic fatigue following cancer\, multiple sclerosis and other chronic conditions. His talk will describe the potential benefits of these therapies as well some of the challenges in making them more widely available. \nBrian McGuire is a Professor of Clinical Psychology. He is a graduate of NUI Galway and has also completed a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology (Sydney)\, a Diploma in Criminology (Sydney)\, a Diploma in Health Science (Clinical Teaching\, NUI Galway) and a PhD in clinical psychology (Sydney). He worked initially as a research psychologist in brain injury rehabilitation in London. He then moved to Sydney where he spent the next 10 years lecturing in psychology at several universities and working as a clinical psychologist. His clinical work was initially in the area of learning disability and challenging behaviour\, before he moved into private practice where his work focused on medicolegal assessment and the rehabilitation of persons with chronic pain\, acquired brain impairment\, and those recovering from work and motor accidents. It was in that context that his interest in symptom magnification and malingering developed and he completed his PhD in that area. After leaving Australia\, Brian was Consultant Clinical Psychologist in brain injury rehabilitation where he co-ordinated the clinical services of several in-patient rehabilitation units in the north of England. After returning to Ireland\, Brian worked with the Galway Association learning disability service. He joined NUI\, Galway in 2003 and was the Director of the Doctor of Psychological Science programme in Clinical Psychology until 2014 when he took up his post as HRB Research Leader in Population Health.  In addition\, he is Director of the Doctor of Psychological Science for Qualified Clinicians and Joint Director of the Centre for Pain Research.

SUMMARY:Álvaro Seiça (Visiting Fellow) - Kinetic Poetry: From Screening to Running Interactive Language
DESCRIPTION:The third event of the Spring 2018 series of Digital Scholarship Seminar takes place on Thursday 3 May at 2pm\, and features a paper on kinetic poetry\, a form of poetry that relies on spatiotemporal transitions as expressive literary and visual layers\, by Álvaro Seiça\, Visiting Moore Institute Fellow from the University of Bergen. The talk presents the rich history of kinetic poetry\, by addressing the areas of experimental and digital poetry\, as language goes from projected to interactive media.. As ever\, all are welcome. \nKinetic Poetry: From Screening to Running Interactive Language \nKinetic poetry is a form of poetry that relies on spatiotemporal transitions as expressive literary and visual layers. Throughout the twentieth-century\, kinetic poems have been composed with varied media\, such as celluloid film\, video\, holography\, and computers. This unified and untold history of kinetic poetry is presented for the first time in Álvaro Seiça’s PhD study setInterval: Time-Based Readings of Kinetic Poetry (2017). As it is unveiled\, the origins of kinetic poetry can be traced back to the Dadaists. When Marcel Duchamp staged rotoreliefs in the 35mm film Anémic Cinéma (1926)\, he arguably set a precedent for questioning the role of documentary film\, textual art in motion\, and poetry. \nThis lecture presents this rich history of kinetic poetry\, by addressing the areas of experimental and digital poetry\, as language goes from projected to interactive media. The lecture is a screening session\, as well as a discussion of modes of kinetic writing. First\, it discusses kinetic poetry’s cultural and technological history\, by putting forward the argument that digital poetics is deeply influenced by the 1950-80s experimental practices and transmedia approaches\, which included film\, video\, and computers. Second\, it presents other timelines of kinetic writing\, such as those of animation film and movie titles. Finally\, it presents practical methods for reading digital kinetic poems\, by elaborating on the notion of “deformance” and the methods of modification. The lecture draws from Seiça’s 2017 PhD study\, which goes beyond techno-positivistic discourses on digital poetry by discussing the larger intersections of literature with technology\, politics\, and society. \nDr Álvaro Seiça is a writer and researcher. He holds a PhD in Digital Culture from the University of Bergen (2018). He published the poetry books Ensinando o Espaço (2017)\, Ö (2014)\, permafrost (2012)\, and the scholarly book Transdução (2017). Seiça has been a PhD Fellow at the University of Bergen (UiB)\, where he taught courses in electronic literature and digital humanities. He edits the ELMCIP Knowledge Base. His PhD dissertation “setInterval(): Time-Based Readings of Kinetic Poetry” (2017) was hosted by the Electronic Literature Research Group at UiB\, and advised by Scott Rettberg and Chris Funkhouser. In 2018\, he is starting a 3-year postdoctoral project entitled “The Art of Deleting” at UiB and UCLA\, which is funded by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship. @AlvaroSeica / alvaroseica.net \n Connect with DSS: Website | Facebook | Mailing list  \nFacebook event page \n
