Join Dr Sandra Mayer, Elise Richter Fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and Dr Ruth Scobie as they discuss their highly regarded book, "Authorship, Activism and Celebrity", at the TORCH Book at Lunchtime event in Oxford. This groundbreaking book explores the historical and cultural relationship between authorship, political activism, and celebrity culture. Through a combination of historical analysis, critical essays, interviews, and opinion pieces, the book delves into the role of literary authors as influencers and activists throughout history. The authors examine the ideological dimension of literary celebrity and address the complex relationship between literature, politics, celebrity culture, and market activism. They also explore the responsibility of literature in today's fragmented societies. Joining Dr Mayer and Dr Scobie for the discussion will be an expert panel featuring Professor Simon Morgan from Leeds Beckett University and Dr Hannah Yelin from Oxford Brookes. The event will take place on January 31, 2024, at the Seminar Room in the Radcliffe Humanities Building, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Woodstock Road, Oxford. Admission is free, so don't miss this opportunity to engage in a thought-provoking conversation on the intersection of authorship, activism, and celebrity.
