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
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.
