After a record billion dollar surplus, @Sydney_Uni has no excuse but to give staff a fair pay rise and to fix widespread job insecurity. Hardworking staff deserve #securejobs and #BetterUnis@DamienCahill8#USydStrike https://t.co/B2lIAKxtNv
Very excited to have my work published in Philament 26: "Bodies of Work". Thank you everyone @philamentjrnl for all your hard work in getting this issue together! Find the edition here: https://t.co/RzYepip3GN
Excited to be coordinating this with fellow HDRs @ellaleaves and @sampoulos. We really appreciate the HDR+ Grant funding and the support of several academics here who have or will contribute to the three days' work!
Another Spivak classic - six pages into her chapter 'Rethinking Comparativism' she sums up her argument, seemingly out of nowhere, by saying: "In other words, I have had enough of being told that imperialism gave us the novel." (257) - 📜📚👏(~give me a week to deconstruct this)
Our fledgling reading group is back next Tuesday for another run with a narrative theory seminar & discussion run by @ellaleaves. Readings are here: https://t.co/OURrsFiR4d. Have a quick read & then come along to S302 John Woolley here at USyd. Look forward to seeing you there!
Excited to think about world(-)literature(s) & the like next week! Would love anyone interested in joining a reading group here at USyd to come along. It’s being run by English students but all keen theorists/theory students are welcome! See the link for all details.
Having downed an entire large coffee in a minute flat, I am feeling alive, and regret none of the frenzied sentences I have just put together 😁 #coffee#livingontheedge#TheDailyGrind
Up bright and early to see Ella Collins-White @ellaleaves present on the last day of #litinferface - She gave a great paper looking at Xiaolu Guo’s UFO In Her Eyes, translation across language and medium, and Guo’s work plays with a transitional translation space
An excellent paper by Jennifer Nicholson (@justjenerally) at #litinterface, she problematises Hamlet and its position as the quintessential English text - asking what is "Englishness" anyway?
A brilliant and thoughtful roundtable at #litinterface on Reading/Australia/Now, in which Katherine Bode, Jennifer Clement, Tom Clark, Julieanne Lamond, Simone Murray, Maggie Nolan shared their research on reception, how it shapes texts and interacts with reading communities.
Just heard a wild paper by Thomas Austenfeld at #litinterface, in which he asked us to reconsider the face as an interface through which we both take in and transmit to the world 🤯🤯🤯
Incredible keynote paper from Johanna Drucker here at #litinterface this morning on the history of interfaces, affect, & the internet as part of our contemporary reading practices.
