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
Join OCLW for the first of this term’s Laura Marcus Workshops.
Once we get beyond the clichés about oversharing and privacy online, what does it mean to write a life in the digital age? What impacts do publishers, platforms, and publics have on the way life-writing appears to us today? This session will consider the longer history of digital life-writing, as well as exploring changes to our notion of a writer’s archive, and the challenges posed to literary writing when a life can be reduced to a stream of data.
The workshop leaders will be Adam Guy and Sarah Ogilvie, convened by Kate Kennedy.
Participants should come prepared to think about any aspect of life-writing in relation to online publishing, social media, digitising of archives, online platforms.
