EROSS DCU

Dr Deniz Başar has recently started developing a culturally-rooted but internationally applicable puppetry theory, which she describes as the “third space”.

The first two spaces are body-minds of any two people during any form of dialogue.
a third space materializes through the art work that is not a bridge between these two body-minds, but an escape route to somewhere else, somewhere that didn’t exist prior to the artistic encounter.

Her presentation on Puppetry and Eroticism helps us understand how the puppet can circumvent the sexual-societal taboos, how it may work as a container of large-scale political debates and ultimately, how it can create a safe space for the body itself.

Enjoy!

Soon, all webinars from this semester will be available for you on vimeo.

Is academia a safe space for q***r people?

This is an informal/experiential roundtable between q***r students of various academic levels, where they will share their lived experiences as members of the academic community, and discuss whether their campuses and structures nurture q***rness or hinder it.

How can be reclaimed as a safer space an affective space where our q***r voices are heard and matter. Furthermore, the roundtable explores the intrinsic correlation between academia and society through q***r identity and how this osmosis can mould future q***r.

This online event is organised by both EROSS@DCU (Dublin City University, Ireland) and PHYL.IS, the Student Union for Gender Equality (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece).

The discussion will be conducted in English.

The session will be recorded for archival purposes.

"Censoring the Bump: Body-Horror as a Consequence of Restricting Women's Reproduction Rights in Life and on Screen" by Agata Wieczorek, Le Fresnoy - Studio National, France

Agata Wieczorek’s practice combines film and photography, while moving between constructed documentary and documented fiction. In her work, she observes how the human body exists and performs in situations that are deeply intimate and radically political at the very same time.

The webinar will take place via Zoom at 2pm GMT. Feel free to disseminate:
