OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Representations of Violence in Military Memoir: A Critical Cognitive Linguistic Approach
Matthew is based in the School of English at the University of Sheffield. He will bring a literary perspective to the seminar series by presenting a paper on his research concerning the ‘Language of Violence’.
Matt’s research explores the language of violence as performed by the authors of military memoirs of the 20th and 21st centuries. In particular, he is interested in reevaluating the way in which agency is construed in critical readings of these texts. His paper will introduce methods from Cognitive Linguistics in order to discuss perceptions of causality – and responsibility – in narratives of military conflict.
