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.
Flat Eucharist: Schemes and Screens
This session thinks about the different 2D modes and conventions upon which we rely for our access to the Eucharist. It considers the linear nature of ‘argument’ for making Eucharistic meaning, and its limitations. It looks at the conventions of written, printed liturgy, at how the technology of the page filters, orders and confines what happens. Informed by the recent experience of the pandemic, it discusses screened Eucharists as technologically-enabled representations which may – or may not – falter on the threshold between communion and its simulation.
This lecture will take place in person in the University Church on Tuesday 11 May 2021 at 11.30am. It will also be livestreamed on our social media channels.
