'Poets Talk Politics' at The University of Porto

On Wednesday 26 May I will be discussing my book this is no longer entertainment in the second instalment of 'Poets Talk Politics', a series of events run by The University of Porto's Instituto de Literatura Comparada Margarida Losa (ILCML).

'Poets Talk Politics' is an online series organised by João Guimarães where poets are invited to read from their work and talk about political topics related to it with researchers and academics from The University of Porto and elsewhere. The series is livestreamed on Facebook - and in this session I will be talking with Guimarães and his colleagues Elina Siltanen (University of Eastern Finland), Daae Jung (SUNY Buffalo) and Lígia Bernardino (ILCML).

In the second session of our series, Makris will read some poems from his latest book and talk to us about the political implications of social media, from which much of the material that the author appropriates and recontextualizes in his work comes. We will discuss, among other things, how these platforms condition our attention, the way we think, and the way ideas and opinions are disseminated.

We start at 6pm (Dublin / Porto time) and you can join the event through the event page on the Institute's Facebook.
