[Publik.ims] Next week's IMS seminar 10. February

Dear all, Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar. We are so fortunate to be visited by Eleni Timplalexi, Department of Communication & Media Studies, University of Athens, who will give a very timely presentation on "The transmedial journey of theatre performance going massively online during the COVID-19 pandemic: towards new intermedial forms of expression". Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, theatre companies started massively providing online (filmed) versions of their productions. The consumption of theatre as “online content” raises questions about the ontology of performance. However, this transmedial journey may prove to be more than stressful and give rise to the creation and reception of hybrid intermedial forms of expression in such times of crisis.
