F. T. Prince Memorial Lecture 2024 with Anthony Joseph (18:00)
The School of Humanities is pleased to invite you to the 12th annual F. T. Prince Memorial Lecture, which will take place on Tuesday 22 October 2024 at 18:00 on the University of Southampton’s Avenue Campus. We are delighted to welcome Anthony Joseph to speak at this year's event, presenting his lecture: "Frequencies of Magic".
This event is organised by the Faculty of Arts & Humanities and English Department in partnership with Winchester Poetry Festival.
"The Frequencies of Magic"
In this lecture Anthony Joseph tracks the influence of 100 years of surrealism on his own development as a poet, novelist and musician. Starting with the Caribbean and moving towards the UK, where he moved to the late 1980s, Joseph shows how aspects of surrealism and surrealist practice are embedded within the Trinidad carnival, calypso arts and jazz, and how his own writing found allegiances with black surrealist writers such as Ted Joans, Sun Ra and Bob Kauffman while crafting a distinctly Caribbean surrealism. Joseph will share work from his newly published Precious and Impossible: Selected Poems (Bloomsbury, 2024)
About the speaker

As a musician, he has released eight critically acclaimed albums, and in 2020 received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Composers Award.

Material Interests - Salvaging the Future: Speculative Exercises in World(un)building (11:30)
Material Interests Lecture Series
Hear from leading artists and other world-changing practitioners across the fine arts and related industries in this flagship speaker series organised by Winchester School of Art's Department of Art and Media Technology.
Salvaging the Future: Speculative Exercises in World(un)building - with Dr Megen de Bruin-Molé
Venue: Lecture Theatre B, East Building, Winchester School of Art, Park Avenue, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8DL / Online via Teams
How do we save the world? Can we salvage it instead? This talk considers the concept of ‘salvage’ as utopian and explores how this practice has been implemented in moments of crisis and conflict across contemporary architecture, conservation, and speculative fiction and practice.
(Un)building on previous work linking salvage-Marxism and the fictions of Rivers Solomon (de Bruin-Molé 2021), and engaging closely with critical perspectives on salvage and unbuilding (cf Tsing 2015; DeSilvey 2017; Halberstam 2018; Claus 2020; Phillips 2021), this talk considers the concept of ‘salvage’ as utopian and explores how this practice has been implemented in moments of crisis and conflict across contemporary architecture, conservation, and speculative fiction and practice.
Salvage offers up alternative frameworks for imagining utopias – and utopian practice – that are not defined by hope, futurity, or universalism.
This talk presents the work conducted during Megen de Bruin-Molé's sabbatical period in Spring 2024.
The Material Interests Lecture Series is co-sponsored by the Department of Art and Media Technology and Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities

Material Interests: The Last Resort. Exoticism, Extraction and Extinction (11:30)
Material Interests Lecture Series
Hear from leading artists and other world-changing practitioners across the fine arts and related industries in this flagship speaker series organised by Winchester School of Art's Department of Art and Media Technology.
The Last Resort. Exoticism, Extraction and Extinction with Dr Yaiza Hernández Velázquez
Venue: Lecture Theatre B, East Building, Winchester School of Art, Park Avenue, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8DL / Online via Teams
Tourism emerged as an industry just as decolonisation was getting underway, bringing promises of rapid “development” for the host economies. However, for many who live under its hold, tourism has become just another extractive mechanism, one for which the construction of images of desire remains a central feature.
The visual cultures of tourism have remained strikingly consistent for over a century, perpetuating colonial imaginaries that speak of exoticism, exuberant wealth and sexual availability. Despite its incompatibility with the health of the planet and the almost complete suspension that the Covid-19 imposed on its operations, tourism has quickly recovered to continue apace as one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.
Despite persistent claims about “sustainable tourism” the industry voraciously consumes natural resources, common heritage, infrastructures and territory. Moreover, as Matilde Córdoba Azcárate has pointed out, tourism is “sticky”, hard to leave behind. With a terraforming capacity unmatched by any other industry, and an ability to imbricate itself into all aspects of life, it seems to foreclose the possibility of any alternative futures.
As protests emerge around the world asking tourists to stay away and traditional tourist destinations suffer the blunt force of climate change, there is a new urgency to rethinking our profound attachment to tourism. Dismantling the imaginaries that have come to stand for an elusive “good life” to be found on someone else’s land will only be a first step.
The Material Interests Lecture Series is co-sponsored by the Department of Art and Media Technology and Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities

Data visualisation is one of the most important steps in any analysis journey.
Visualisations allow us to explore our data, identify errors and outliers, generate hypotheses about possible relationships between variables, and communicate results clearly and efficiently.
ggplot2 is a powerful R package that was designed to create publication-quality graphics in seconds. The joy of ggplot2 is its flexibility: graphs are built in layers which can be easily customised, ensuring novel plots to fit almost any situation.
This online course will introduce the ggplot2 package and its underlying grammar of graphics.
Participants will understand how to choose the most appropriate type of visualisation, based on the type and number of variables, and the intention of the plot. We will then build visualisations, layer by customisable layer, to transform simple plots into beautiful, informative graphics.
This course is run by the National Centre for Research Methods, which is based in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Four Qualitative Methods for Understanding Diverse Lives (for academics)
In this one-day online training workshop you will be introduced to four qualitative research methods to better understand diverse lives – Photo Go-Alongs, Collage, Life History Interviews and Participant Packs.
When researching social groups, researchers may focus on categories such as age, gender, sexuality and so on. These categories can turn catch-all terms into catch-all agendas.
Treating groups of people with one shared characteristic as homogenous risks a cookie-cutter approach which overlooks diverse lives and needs. Given the complexity of what it means to be a person, a one-size fits all approach to engagement cannot suffice.
The methods introduced in this training workshop are beneficial in exploring diverse lives and can be used when researching with any group.
