Digital Scholarship Seminar
Dr Brett Hirsch
(Visiting Speaker, University of Western Australia)
Towards an Electronic Edition of Fair Em, or, Much Ado About the Miller‰۪s Daughter of Manchester

This paper offers a work-in-progress report on an electronic critical edition of Fair Em, an Elizabethan dramatic comedy of disputed authorship. With the play as its focal point, this paper considers the promises and pitfalls associated with such digital editorial projects, including the incorporation of rich multimedia content, the long shadow of print publishing in an age of open access, the dynamics of collaboration and its challenges to traditional models of humanities research and evaluation, and the bugbear of sustainability and long-term digital preservation.

Refreshments will be served after the talk

Hispanic Research Event: Dr Rebecca Breen - 'Si me permiten hablar...': Performative Testimony in Bolivia Today
2014-02-27 13:00
‘Si me permiten hablar…’: Performative Testimony in Bolivia Today
Dr Rebecca Breen
This talk examines performance art by contemporary women artists from Latin America; it aims to conceptualize and recontextualize the notion of testimonio in relation to visual practice. The paper revisits women‰۪s testimonial narrative writing (or testimonio),which emerged in Latin America during the 1970s and 1980s — specifically, Domitila Barrios de Chungara’s ‘”Si me permiten hablar…”: testimonio de Domitila, una mujer de las minas de Bolivia’ (1978). This genre comprised themes of the subaltern, authorship/agency, and the relationship of personal to collective testimonies. However, the paper focuses on the performative practice of a contemporary artist from Bolivia, Aruma (Sandra deBerduccy), so as to provide a purchase for negotiating testimonio from the point of view of the visual and, particularly, to highlight testimonio‘s gender concerns even to today.
