Ovoga je ljeta Iris Spajić, članica našeg #hrzz projekta, sudjelovala na dvjema ljetnim školama u Škotskoj i Sloveniji. Od 5. srpnja do 17. kolovoza bila je dijelom ljetne škole Scottish Universities International Summer School u Edinburghu te je na smjeru koji se bavio suvremenim britanskim i irskim kazalištem i performansom (Contemporary British and Irish Theatre and Performance) pohađala seminare na kojima se raspravljalo o dramama i performansima brojnih suvremenih autora (Gregory Burke, Jo Clifford, Brian Friel, David Greig, Tanika Gupta, Kieran Hurley, Nicola McCartney, John McGrath, Rona Munro i May Sumbwanyambe) te prolazilo kroz različite vježbe i aktivnosti u svrhu kritičkog promišljanja i uživljavanja u različite aspekte dramske i kazališne analize. U praktičnom dijelu ljetne škole, imala je priliku sudjelovati u radionicama renomiranih dramskih i kazališnih stručnjaka, poput glumca Alija de Souze, dramatičarki Nicole McCartney i Rone Munro, dramaturginje Louise Stephens i glumca i Tima Licate. Osim seminara, na ljetnoj su školi predavanja održali uvaženi znanstvenici Alan Riach, Robert i Penny Fielding. Kulturni program ljetne škole sastojao se od autorskih čitanja i performansa romanopisca Jamesa Robertsona i dramatičarki Jo Clifford i Isle Cowan, književne šetnje s pjesnikinjom Ionom Lee te organiziranim posjetima kazališnom festivalu Edinburgh International Festival na predstave The Outrun i Hamlet. Naša je suradnica u potpunosti iskoristila živahni kazališni krajolik grada posjetivši više od petnaest predstava festivala Fringe i festivalu Edinburgh International Festival, primjerice postavljanja drama Keirana Hurleyja (VL), Davida Greiga (Dunsinane), Adama Rappa (The Sound Inside), Marka Ravenhilla (Pool (No Water)), Joanne Ryan (In Two Minds) i brojnih drugih.Ljetna škola Sexual Desire Unbound: Literature, Landscapes and Digital Dialogues održavala se u Ljubljani od 27. kolovoza do 2. rujna te je naša članica sudjelovala na seminarima i predavanjima vezanim uz digitalnu humanistiku i književni turizam. Budući da je primarni smjer koji je naša članica pohađala bila digitalna humanistika, imala je priliku poslušati predavanja i sudjelovati na radionicama Katje Mihurko, Marie-Louise Coolahan, Darka Ilina, Carmen Beatrice Duțu, Roxane Patraş i Lucije Mandić. Njezina je skupina imala zadatak napraviti prijedlog projekta koji bi spajao sferu književnosti i digitalne humanistike, stoga su kao temu izabrali „Mapping of Queerness and Violence“, pri čemu bi kao metode primarno koristili topic modelling, a potom i close reading. U sklopu književne šetnje Goriziom polaznici ljetne škole imali su zadatak istražiti lokacije na kojima su živjele, stvarale ili provele svoje posljednje dane poznate žene te uz pomoć digitalnih alata napraviti zanimljiv turistički promotivni materijal. Kulturni program ljetne škole bio je obogaćen razgovorom sa suvremenom slovenskom dramatičarkom Tjašom Črnigoj koja je govorila o performansu i seksualnosti te razgovorom sa suvremenom spisateljicom i prevoditeljicom Suzanom Tratnik i mladim, perspektivnim pjesnikom Pinom Pograjcem.
This summer, Iris Spajić, a member of our #hrzz project, participated in two summer schools in Scotland and Slovenia. From July 5 to August 17, she took part in the Scottish Universities International Summer School in Edinburgh, where she attended the Contemporary British and Irish Theatre and Performance program. In this program, seminars were held to discuss the plays and performances of numerous contemporary authors (Gregory Burke, Jo Clifford, Brian Friel, David Greig, Tanika Gupta, Kieran Hurley, Nicola McCartney, John McGrath, Rona Munro, and May Sumbwanyambe), as well as various exercises and activities designed for critical reflection and engagement with different aspects of dramatic and theatrical analysis. In the practical part of the summer school, she had the opportunity to participate in workshops with renowned drama and theatre professionals, such as actor Ali de Souza, playwrights Nicola McCartney and Rona Munro, dramaturg Louise Stephens, and actor Tim Licata. In addition to the seminars, lectures were delivered by distinguished scholars Alan Riach and Robert and Penny Fielding. The cultural program of the summer school included readings and performances by novelist James Robertson and playwrights Jo Clifford and Isla Cowan, a literary walk with poet Iona Lee, and organized visits to the Edinburgh International Festival to see productions like The Outrun and Hamlet. Our colleague fully immersed herself in the city’s vibrant theatre scene, attending more than fifteen productions at the Fringe Festival and Edinburgh International Festival, including works by Kieran Hurley (VL), David Greig (Dunsinane), Adam Rapp (The Sound Inside), Mark Ravenhill (Pool (No Water)), Joanne Ryan (In Two Minds), and many others.The summer school Sexual Desire Unbound: Literature, Landscapes, and Digital Dialogues was held in Ljubljana from August 27 to September 2, where our member participated in seminars and lectures focused on digital humanities and literary tourism. Since her primary field of study was digital humanities, she attended lectures and workshops led by Katja Mihurko, Marie-Louise Coolahan, Darko Ilin, Carmen Beatrice Duțu, Roxana Patraș, and Lucija Mandić. Her group was tasked with proposing a project that combines literature and digital humanities. They chose the topic “Mapping of Queerness and Violence”, using topic modeling as their primary method, followed by close reading. As part of the literary walk in Gorizia, participants explored locations where notable women lived, created, or spent their final days, producing engaging tourism promotional materials using digital tools. The cultural program of the summer school was enriched by a conversation with contemporary Slovenian playwright Tjaša Črnigoj, who spoke about performance and sexuality, as well as discussions with contemporary writer and translator Suzana Tratnik and promising young poet Pino Pograjc.
In diesem Sommer nahm Iris Spajić, Mitglied unseres #hrzz-Projekts, an zwei Sommerschulen in Schottland und Slowenien teil. Vom 5. Juli bis zum 17. August war sie Teil der Scottish Universities International Summer School in Edinburgh und besuchte das Programm Contemporary British and Irish Theatre and Performance. Im Rahmen des Programms nahm sie an Seminaren teil, in denen Dramen und Performances zahlreicher zeitgenössischer Autoren (Gregory Burke, Jo Clifford, Brian Friel, David Greig, Tanika Gupta, Kieran Hurley, Nicola McCartney, John McGrath, Rona Munro und May Sumbwanyambe) besprochen sowie verschiedene Übungen und Aktivitäten zur kritischen Reflexion und Auseinandersetzung mit unterschiedlichen Aspekten der Dramen- und Theateranalyse durchgeführt wurden. Im praktischen Teil der Sommerschule hatte sie die Gelegenheit, an Workshops mit renommierten Theater- und Dramenfachleuten wie dem Schauspieler Ali de Souza, den Dramatikerinnen Nicola McCartney und Rona Munro, der Dramaturgin Louise Stephens und dem Schauspieler Tim Licata teilzunehmen. Neben den Seminaren hielten angesehene Wissenschaftler wie Alan Riach sowie Robert und Penny Fielding Vorlesungen. Das kulturelle Programm der Sommerschule bestand aus Lesungen und Performances des Schriftstellers James Robertson und der Dramatikerinnen Jo Clifford und Isla Cowan, einem literarischen Spaziergang mit der Dichterin Iona Lee sowie organisierten Besuchen des Edinburgh International Festival, darunter Aufführungen wie The Outrun und Hamlet. Unsere Kollegin nutzte die lebhafte Theaterszene der Stadt in vollem Umfang und besuchte mehr als fünfzehn Aufführungen beim Fringe Festival und beim Edinburgh International Festival, darunter Werke von Kieran Hurley (VL), David Greig (Dunsinane), Adam Rapp (The Sound Inside), Mark Ravenhill (Pool (No Water)), Joanne Ryan (In Two Minds) und vielen anderen.Die Sommerschule Sexual Desire Unbound: Literature, Landscapes and Digital Dialogues fand vom 27. August bis zum 2. September in Ljubljana statt. Unsere Teilnehmerin besuchte Seminare und Vorträge zu Digital Humanities und literarischem Tourismus. Da ihr primärer Schwerpunkt die Digital Humanities waren, nahm sie an Vorträgen und Workshops von Katja Mihurko, Marie-Louise Coolahan, Darko Ilin, Carmen Beatrice Duțu, Roxana Patraș und Lucija Mandić teil. Ihre Gruppe hatte die Aufgabe, einen Projektvorschlag zu erstellen, der Literatur und Digital Humanities verbindet. Sie entschieden sich für das Thema „Mapping of Queerness and Violence“, wobei sie Topic Modeling als primäre Methode und Close Reading als ergänzende Methode einsetzten. Im Rahmen eines literarischen Spaziergangs in Görz erkundeten die Teilnehmer Orte, an denen bekannte Frauen lebten, schufen oder ihre letzten Tage verbrachten, und erstellten mithilfe digitaler Werkzeuge ansprechendes touristisches Werbematerial. Das kulturelle Programm der Sommerschule wurde durch ein Gespräch mit der zeitgenössischen slowenischen Dramatikerin Tjaša Črnigoj über Performance und Sexualität bereichert, sowie durch Gespräche mit der zeitgenössischen Schriftstellerin und Übersetzerin Suzana Tratnik und dem jungen, vielversprechenden Dichter Pino Pograjc.
