Here’s the audio of a paper I gave at @ISRLC conf - exploring a New Materialist conception of time in alchemy and it’s relation to apocalypse in climate activism. Would welcome comments. https://t.co/DhCTOo3JYE
in a summer where my international conferencing & lecturing yielded to medical advice, it was so good to come to Chester for @ISRLC—a conference & a network of researchers that have certainly got their mojo back. Wonderful delegates; outstanding speakers; true academic friendship
We have never been modern (following Latour) so, have we always been alchemists? Matt Valler's fascinating paper on non-linear conceptions of time @ISRLC#ISRLC2022
Finally an engrossing panel featuring the editors of forthcoming The Music of Theology: Language–Space–Silence
The Language of Music Mattias Martinson
The Space of Music Laurens ten Kate
The Strain of Odysseus: Music as the Transmutation of Sound and Silence Andrew W. Hass
Then my good friend Nils Holger Petersen spoke eloquently on the transitions from sacred liturgical music to ‘classical’ musical performance to the ‘spiritual’ music prized so globally today
Always an absolute pleasure to be part of the Music Strand of @isrlc. Generous allocations of time & excellent discussions.
My own presentation on Wagner’s Parsifal & Literary Modernism stimulated much musical & multilingual interest & debate #Modernism100#ISRLC2022
#ISRLC2022@ISRLC Interesting methodological questions about using lived religion approaches to analyze memoirs and autobiographies of running, religion, and spirituality #MaterialReligion
