Perforum - Dr. Róisín O'Gorman - Wednesday 28th Sept
Our Perforum Series is back! Next week we welcome our Dr. Róisín O'Gorman to Granary Theatre at 2:15pm to discuss:
Attuning to archival affects through arts practice research
Attuning to archival affects through arts practice research sentation elaborates on two on-going collaborative projects where performance based practices encounter and respond to a range of fragments, remains, absences and traces within UCC’s archive and it knowledge networks.
Both projects have followed trajectories developed during the Wellcome Funded Living Well with the Dead in Contemporary Ireland. (

This presentation allows us to reflect on and discuss the possibilities and particularities of arts based research where the modes of embodied, affective inquiry come to the fore and both challenge and extend existing epistemologies (based primarily on discursive practices and controls). Performance imaginaries and embodied practices offer other modes of engagement and response which dream with the archive and its absences. In dialogue with material and posthuman feminist scholarship, we can consider together the ways in which we make and circulate knowledge within our education systems and embodied experiences.
