Conference of the Centre of Excellence in Estonian Studies

12.08.2019

The 9th Annual Conference of the Centre of Excellence in Estonian Studies

Perception and Performativity in Arts and Culture in the Age of Technological Change

September 5–7, 2019, Tartu

 

The process of digitalisation in contemporary society is inevitable. However, digital should not be reduced to computer technology, because it embraces a wider set of sociocultural phenomena. Even the performing arts and cultural performances characterised by happening ‘here and now’ cannot escape the reality of this situation because digitalisation refers not only to specific technologies but also to specific ways of communication and the sociocultural contexts in which live performances take place. Research on how digitalisation changes all walks of our everyday life, from culture to politics, is still breaking new grounds.

 

Organisers: The working group of the CEES on narrative studies, PUT1481 "The Role of Imaginary Narrative Scenarios in Cultural Dynamics"
