UKLA conference

Just returned from the UKLA conference at Greenwich, which was excellent. Many highlights, including Lynda Graham’s symposium with Martin Waller and Angela Colvert sharing their excellent classroom practice in relation to digital literacies, and Angela Thomas’s keynote on Macbeth in Second Life. Also fabulous was Alex Kendall’s presentation on the work she has been doing with Julian McDougall on young men’s practices using Grand Theft Auto IV – they have developed the concept of ‘baroque showman’ to describe the hyper-masculine performativity which goes on in the game. You can find a paper on this work here – absolutely brilliant stuff. There was so much else I couldn’t get to as I was involved in lots of sessions myself as presenter or discussant, and this level of choice served to highlight to me how important the conference is for showcasing current work in relation to digital literacy. The perfect place, therefore, to launch Victoria Carrington’s and Muriel Robinson’s exciting new book. And just when I thought the weekend couldn't get better, I wandered into Greenwich market and found these gorgeous handmade handbags...so all in all, a very successful conference. See you next year in Winchester?

Needless to say that Kate and I also saw those bags and thought they were wonderful. I cannot believe I resisted buying one. Hope you got one.

I agree the conference was FABULOUS and thanks for the link to Alex's paper.

I can't believe you resisted either. I bought two - although one was for Julie and therefore rather wasted as she thinks it's too 'femme'. Some people have no appreciation of handbag artistry...

Martin Waller said...

It was a great conference and thanks again for chairing our session Jackie.

The Grand Theft Auto IV area is interesting (still kicking myself for missing that session). It's similar to what happens in World of Warcraft. But there's also another dimension in the 'WoW' with people showing off the equipment they've purchased and the achievements they have accumulated. It's all really interesting stuff.
