Trying to get another round of #UpdateABookTitle going: Flaubert's Stochaic Parrot

Londoners/UK colleagues - if anyone is around the National Portrait Gallery these days, could you please give me a shout? I have a weird research question that concerns a specific frame (!) in the NPG. Any help much appreciated!

Unapologetically overusing em dashes since 2005 — you can pry them from my cold, dead hands! [Reposted because I accidentally used an en dash in the original post!!11]

Final panel of #ISTR2025 now with fellow feminist interventionist @ciaralynnmurphy.bsky.social's excellent and engaging paper on "'Get Your Brits Out': Performing Stereotypes of Irish Nationalism Through Subversive Aesthetics" www.nme.com/news/music/k...

Looking forward to Siân Adiseshiah's keynote on Staging Utopian Subjects #ISTR2025 www.bloomsbury.com/uk/utopian-d...

Kurt Taroff raises thought-provoking points in ‘Circuses of stasis: performing the defence of the imperial state in the US and Northern Ireland’, juxtaposing the perfomativity and iconography of The Twelfth parades with Trump rallies (at one of which he apparently "signed a baby") #ISTR2025

Excited to find out whether the audio will work or if my co-communications officer @irishtheatreres.bsky.social @lukelamont.bsky.social will actually sing during his paper on "Verbatim musicals in Britain during the rightward lurch", as promised #ISTR2025 www.theartsreview.com/single-post/...

Second day of #ISTR2025 is off to a fantastic start as Brian Singleton discusses ANU Productions’ Hammam (2023), bringing it together with the context of the 2023 Dublin Riot www.abbeytheatre.ie/whats-on/ham...

Excitedly waiting for Elaine Sisson's keynote at #ISTR2025 #EndsOfEmpire not only, but also because "modernism" is mentioned in the title #OnceAModernistAlwaysAModernist @irishtheatreres.bsky.social

Unintentional auditory hauntings now as technology creates reverb #ISTR2025 #GhostInTheMachine #EndsOfEmpire

. @shonaghhill.bsky.social now explores Nandi Jola's "Mamtshawe – The Rise of Maqoma" in the context of decolonial feminism, raising thought-provoking points and referencing Vergès notion of decolonial feminism as "a never-ending struggle, revolution as daily work" #ISTR2025 #EndsOfEmpire

Helen Lane's excellent paper on "Voicing the concerns of our generation: The affective charge of the Irish Spoken Word movement in mainstream media" @irishtheatreres.bsky.social #ISTR2025 sounds like it could be right up @clairemsp.bsky.social @poetryoffthepage.bsky.social 's lane!

Really looking forward to Nora Grimes's talk on "(Re)imagining Irish Histories through Women's Public Performance: Feminist Interventions by the Inghinidhe na h'Éireann, Alice Milligan, and Lady Gregory, 1900-1912" now @irishtheatreres.bsky.social #EndsofEmpire

Made it to @irishtheatreres.bsky.social's #EndOfEmpires conference (endsofempire.com) - greatly looking forward to the conference! [the Irish climate doesn't seem to agree with my phone, so no pics for the foreseeable future]

Spent the morning exchanging ideas on my previous and ongoing work at @acdh-ch-oeaw.bsky.social - planning to be back soon!

Finally got back to the @codecademy.bsky.social #python3 course and finished the task despite the negative 8-ball prognosis!

ATHE 2025 Annual Conference: The Real Call for participants in online working groups: www.athe.org/page/second_... Deadline 31 March 2025!

Das ist das Warm Up für die große Demonstration morgen in Belgrad.

Serbien als demokratisches Hoffnungsgebiet: Eine von Studierenden entfachte Protestwelle bringt den Staatsapparat ins Wanken. Rücktritte von zwei Ministern & dem Ministerpräsidenten nutzten nichts. "Hoćemo pravdu" / Wir wollen Gerechtigkeit, heißt es. Unsere Reportagen: oe1.orf.at/player/20250...

This looks fantastic! 👇 Can't wait to read it 🤩

STAGING INJUSTICE: PERFORMANCE AND ASYLUM HEARINGS A fascinating and urgent symposium taking place at Trinity Long Room Hub @tlrhub.bsky.social this Friday 21 Feb, 3-7.30pm www.tcd.ie/trinitylongr... The event is also accessible via Zoom. Register via the link below.

Happy that I got to read and share my two cents about Emer O'Toole's <SPOILER> delightful monograph "Contemporary Irish theatre and social change: activist aesthetics" thanks to #IrishStudiesReview! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Die neue Ausgabe der an.schläge ist da! Diesmal im Schwerpunkt: Hope & Resistance! Unsere Situation ist prekär, aber wir wollen widerständige feministische Strategien allen zugänglich machen – deshalb stellen wir den gesamten Schwerpunkt kostenlos auf unsere Website. www.anschlaege.at

Reminder: New Scholars Prize CFP Deadline is this Tuesday, 4 February

A bit reminiscent of #TheThirdPoliceman, perhaps? @flannobriensoc.bsky.social

Quite pleased with the Kahoot revision for my #DarkAcademia class (which also features a few fiendish questions asking if quotes are from #TheSecretHistory or #TaylorSwift lyrics) and this slide in particular!

A reminder that the ISTR New Scholars Prize 2025 call for papers deadline is Tuesday 4 February ⏳ The NSP award includes a cheque of €150, conference fee waiver for the ISTR annual conference, award certificate, and publication mentorship by a scholar in a related field. istr.ie/new-scholars...

Die ohnehin sehr prekäre Situation der an.schläge hat sich verschärft. Medien- & frauenpolitisch drohen uns jetzt gewaltige Rückschritte. Wir brauchen also weiterhin viele neue Abos, um einer rechten Regierung kritischen feministischen Journalismus entgegensetzen zu können. www.anschlaege.at

I believe the Earth is actually a custard filled globe, hardened by fire and caramel along the upper crust. Yes, I have founded the Flan Earth Society. I even wrote some stories about it. It's decent flan fiction.

My first #BritCult experience was great! Got to know a bunch of wonderful colleagues and learned about so many interesting projects! #BritCult2024 #AllTheFeels (the inofficial conference title)
