CREATE Datasprint: Connecting Performing Arts Data

18 March 15:00-17:00 Online

Over the last two decades, a growing number of databases have been created that record historical information on the production, distribution and reception of theatre, cinema and (other) performing arts. In order to stimulate the careful documentation and conservation of such data sets, the CREATE team has recently edited a special issue of data papers in the Research Data Journal for the Humanities and Social Sciences. The launch of this special issue forms the occasion for this datasprint.

More information on the programme will be announced soon on the CREATE website.

Call for Papers: Decolonising the Memories of Enslavement

The issues of discrimination and racism are more than ever at the heart of today’s debates in Europe, America and Africa since the killing of Georges Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis. The conference 'Decolonising the Memories of Enslavement' of the Université des Antilles and Le Mans Université at Schoelcher, Martinique on 7-9 December 2021, invites contributors to envision this collective rise of humanity through the lenses of literary, artistic and sociocultural creations which will be explored in order to reconsider memorial spaces and the representations of traumatic sites. The conference proposes to address how the memories of slavery in literature and the arts should be expressed and represented differently in the present day in order to decolonise minds and mentalities. The deadline for the call for proposals is 30 March 2021. Read more
