On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In a world-context shaped by urgency and insurgency, I want to consider aesthetic temporality and specificity of sentences. What is the invocation of “now” that lives in a poetic line or a prose phrase, and is it distinct from the “now” of insurgency? How does the act—the phenomenon—of reading explicate what we might know of criticism? In these queries, I want to explore some of the conditions of black literary criticism given the state of a disastrous world.
