SUMMARY:Virtual Guest Lecture "Seriality and Digital Cultures"
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Shane Denson (Stanford University)\n\n\n\nAcross literatu
 re, film, radio, television, and computational media, seriality and seriali
 zation have been important formal and narrative strategies for popular medi
 a cultures from the nineteenth century onward.\n\nSeries mark out temporal 
 trajectories that invite long-term integration into our lives, providing op
 portunities for ongoing identification/disidentification and accompanying o
 ur own biographical development over time. However, the temporal dimension 
 shifts radically when we move from a cinematic media regime, based in the r
 ecording of past events, to a digital or post-cinematic one, where predicti
 ve algorithms and related computational processes actively anticipate futur
 e developments, including our own desires and identifications. In such a me
 dia environment, individual and collective identities and differences (incl
 uding those of gender and race, among others) are much more actively and mi
 nutely at stake. This presentation looks at several relevant examples and d
 evelops a theory of seriality for the post-cinematic age.\n\nCo-organized b
 y Hannah Schoch, Mansi Tiwari, and Morgane Ghilardi. Hosted by the Universi
 ty of Zurich’s English Department. Please register using the QR code or by
