In resurrecting Page Breaks we\u2019re going to return to a well-tested formula: the \u2018Works Loved\u2019 session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In \u2018Works Loved\u2019 sessions, we invite you to share a text that you enjoy or has been important to you. We\u2019ll each share a text: this could be a poem that convinced us not to drop out as an undergraduate, an essay that launched the idea of postgraduate research, or a text that somehow remains separate from the very idea of \u2018studying\u2019 literature.  Academia can often feel overwhelming, with multiple pressures competing for our time and headspace. This seminar is about remembering why we got into this business in the first place \u2013 namely, the \u2018love\u2019 (and we can discuss this term) we feel for the books, poems, and ideas that make up our discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no advance reading for Works Loved \u2013 just come along with your chosen text, and be ready to tell us why it matters to you and to discuss the other texts raised. All varieties of texts are permitted and we would particularly encourage you to read from your chosen text (either in full or as an extract).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When and Where<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be a hybrid session. For those attending in person the location is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.30pm, Arts Room G13. The room is on the ground floor of the Arts building<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for those attending online the zoom link is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to bring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite any format or genre, and people have brought film clips, audio recordings, and artworks in past sessions \u2013 these are all very welcome! In terms of length, if you plan to read aloud we recommend anything from a couple of sentences to a full paragraph or page. If you\u2019d prefer not to read, that\u2019s fine too: you could bring printouts to hand around, better yet, email the extract to Rex on r.ferguson@bham.ac.uk<\/a> so that it can easily be shared in the room and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember you are also free to just describe the text you have in mind rather than read from it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
