Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
“What is possible in the place where the work stops, or is stopped? Bhanu Kapil will speak from her own practice, with an interest in impasse as the place (in writing) that generates the conditions for performance. How might performance memory be returned to narrative as syntax? To what extent does narrative retain the scratches (or atmosphere) of impasse? These are questions towards a talk that can’t be written but only made.”
“Bhanu Kapil is the author of six books, most recently How To Wash A Heart (Pavilion), the winner of the TS Eliot Prize, and a British edition of Incubation: a space for monsters (Prototype, 2023). A non-identical U.S. edition, with writing on performance and shame, has also just been published by Kelsey Street Press. A Fellow of Churchill College and the Royal Society of Literature, Kapil is based in Cambridge. A recipient of a Windham-Campbell Prize from Yale University and a Cholmondeley Award from the Society of Authors, she is writing a novel, The Secret Garden.”
