At unprecedented speed, digital technologies have, during the course of our own lifetimes, transformed everyday routines and entered all spheres, from the political to the most intimate. The ways in which we relate to each other, educate ourselves, partake in social processes, and consume and participate in culture are all informed by digitalization.
Our conference asks how the theatre – which has always developed alongside, in conjunction with, or against the odds of technological developments – is affected by and has responded to these profound changes. It aims to take stock of the urgency and creativity with which the transformations have been taken up in contemporary Anglophone playwriting and performance. In addition, these entanglements with the digital also pose questions about the very nature of the theatre and call for reflections on its role in the newly emerging media environment.
The conference language is English. If you are interested in attending one or several of the talks, please contact Dorothee Birke and Anja Hartl at cde2024@uibk.ac.at
