The Book of Nature as Media
In connection with the workshop “Aesthetic Imaginaries in Text and Image” 28-April, author and professor of English Steve Tomasula (University of Notre Dame) wil give two talks connected to his work. The talks are open to all interested:
“Ascension, A Novel: A Reading/Presentation of an Image-Text Novel in Progress”
“Ascension is a story of nature as it was. And is. And might become. It is the story of how our changing conception of nature, and the means we use to depict it, change the “natural.” And ourselves. It is the story of how we continually remake the world in our own image and in turn are remade by it."

Demoscene, or Decentering Digital Media
Digital media, which are today dominant in social communication, serve also different types of creative expression (video games, new media art, electronic literature, demoscene). It is trivial to say that digital media are dominated by the English language. Both most recognized theoretical texts as well as canonical works are in the English language. And it is the West that is treated as dominant in this area. However, only over the past few years have we seen a new trend emerging, one which aims to discover what has happened in areas that the center has meaningfully called the “end (s)”. Particularly interesting are the perspectives and phenomena that have developed without influence or inspiration from the center in question (for example, communist countries beyond the Iron Curtain or the non-Latin languages, like Arabic or Chinese).
