EVENT: 18 November, 2021: 18:30 UK time: The Future of Storytelling

robot readingPart of the AHRC’s Being Human festival, hosted by Palgrave MacMillan:

The enduring power of storytelling is undeniable and the printed book has proved resilient, even in the face of digitisation and the global pandemic. So what does the future have in store for reading, storytelling and the ‘text’ in a world where visual media is increasingly dominant? How does this influence our understanding and construction of the past? How are the ways we read and experience texts changing? Come along to this discussion to hear our panellists explore these and other questions.

Join Dr Shafquat Towheed (the Open University), Professor Kate Pullinger (Bath Spa University) and Professor Roger Sabin (Central St Martins, University of the Arts London), with a video essay from Jason Steinhauer, (Wilson Center, USA) for this discussion about the past, present and future of our cultural heritage and production.

This is an in-person event! A Q&A and drinks reception will follow. Book tickets here.

This event is part of Palgrave Macmillan’s ‘Campaign for the Humanities’.

In May 2021, Kate was awarded the Marjorie C. Luesebrink Career Achievement Award by the Electronic Literature Organisation (ELO). This award recognises Kate’s work in bridging the worlds of print and digital across multiple forms of expression. According to the judges:

Kate Pullinger’s fictional explorations of digital media for expressive purposes challenges the rhetoric of transparency in favor of a storytelling practice that brings together enjoyment and reflection. Her continued combination of poetic imagination and digital media education has achieved a broad public engagement with the constraints and affordances of electronic literature.
