Join Special Collections on Thursday, June 16, 2022 for a SpokenWeb roundtable discussion on the audio archives of poet, Fred Wah.

About the event

This roundtable discussion will explore the varied scholarly work of student researchers involved with the audio archives of Canadian poet, Fred Wah.

Alongside his literary and academic work, Wah has had a longstanding practice of recording poetry readings, lectures, and conversations, documenting key moments in North American poetry.

Wah will contextualize his fonds of audiotapes held at SFU Special Collections, reflecting on the importance of recording practices to self-documentation and community-building. The researchers working with these materials will then discuss their intellectual, organizational, and creative work in relation to the archive.

About SpokenWeb

About the event

Clint Burnham discusses the radiofreerainforest digital archive at SFU, focusing on the Four Horsemen’s poem “Mayakovsky,” and asking what it means to listen to sound poetry – that is, in this case an LP, broadcast on a community radio station in 1989, and since preserved as a digital object.

“Poetry on the air sounds like the Muses in striped trousers,” declared George Orwell in 1945 – a sound poem over Zoom even more so. Orwell made those remarks discussing the broadcasting of English poetry over the radio to India during World War II, and the Four Horsemen’s appropriation of throat-singing may raise contemporary colonial worries. Responses by Deanna Fong and Teddie Brock.

Thursday, February 11th, 2021 at 3pm. Moderated by SpokenWeb Co-Applicant and Governing Board member Michelle Levy (SFU).

About the event

What might an audiobook liberated from preconceived notions of the printed book sound like? Whereas most literary recordings seek to imitate print formats as faithfully as possible, this presentation examines a series of performances that take advantage of the audiobook’s affordances in order to go beyond merely replicating print. Drawing on source material ranging from musician memoirs to fiction by Charles Dickens and Stephen King, it considers what’s at stake when audio publishers experiment with soundtracks that go beyond the verbal description of sounds by using actual sounds.

Thursday, October 22, 2020 at 10 am. Moderated by Michelle Levy.

The SpokenWeb Sound Institute is a two-day interactive event, which takes place on the Burnaby campus of SFU on May 28-29, 2019, and is open to the members of the SpokenWeb network. It is an opportunity to reflect on the past year, solidify the work of each of the SpokenWeb Task Forces, share tools and knowledge, and plan the year ahead.

The SpokenWeb Sound Institute is followed by the inaugural two-day SpokenWeb Symposium, Resonant Practices in Communities of Sound, which takes place at Harbour Centre and Woodwards in downtown Vancouver, May 30-31, 2019.

The event features:

• SpokenWeb Lightning Talks
• Metadata and Systems Task Force Workshop
• Rights Management Task Force Presentation
• Pedagogy Task Force Workshop
• Project Management Concepts and Tools Workshop
• Audio Signal Analysis Task Force Workshop
• Podcasting Task Force Presentation and Workshop
• SpokenWeb Manifesto Workshop

The first in a series of annual Sound Symposia hosted by SpokenWeb held on May 30-31, 2019 at Simon Fraser University, Harbour Centre and Woodwards, Resonant Practices in Communities of Sound asks presenters to think through the articulation of its three operative terms: sound, practice, and community. Sound and resonance invite us to consider questions of materiality—that is, the experience of sound waves and their visualization; the interactions of sound with the human body and physical space; and the material objects upon which sound is recorded.

Practice implies not only the methods by which we preserve, collect, circulate, and interpret audio artifacts, but also points to an emergent history of creation, rehearsal and performance. We can also read practice in terms of standards and best practices that are rooted in failure and iterative revision. Finally, sound functions as an expression of community:on the one hand, of the historical communities that produced sonic artifacts,and on the other, of contemporary communities of reception, interpretation, and care.

The archive operates at the intersection of ongoing and historic communities, framing our engagement with historical materials in the present,while accumulating contemporary material alongside, or in relation to, the historical. In thinking through the interplay of these terms, we ask: what criteria determine inclusion and exclusion in community-based and institutional sound archives beyond the merely aesthetic—considering social formations such as race, gender, class, sexuality, and ability? What listening and interpretive methods are needed to meaningfully engage with sonic artifacts, and what are the political and ethical demands of those methods? Can shifting to auditory media remap the lay of cultural history as it is inscribed in print-based forms? How do we visualize the contents of sonic archives, whether as representations of audio signals or expressions of community networks? How do audio recordings reproduce and/or intervene in notions of literary value,exploding conceptions of the popular, the esoteric, the mundane, and the difficult?

The SFU W.A.C. Bennett library stacks have yielded some surprising finds, including bibliographically important early editions of Oscar Wilde's work. These books--their status as circulating as opposed to being held in Special Collections--reveal much about how a writer's literary reputation can affect collecting and acquisition priorities. On January 20, Dr. Gregory Mackie will discuss SFU's Oscar Wilde materials, his quest in the stacks, and analyze the bibliography and history of Wilde's literary reputation.

Dr. Mackie received a UBC Faculty of Arts Research Award for 2015-16, and is also Associate Faculty in the Program in Critical Studies in Sexuality at UBC. He was an integral participant in UBC's acquisition of a copy of the Kelmscott Chaucer in 2016.

About the Talk

This talk situates William Morris within a flourishing, late-nineteenth-century radical print culture that Miller terms "slow print" due to its purposeful rejection of the strategies of mass print production. While Morris's work as editor for the Socialist League's newspaper Commonweal in the 1880s has sometimes been considered at odds with his founding of the Kelmscott Press in the 1890s, the two print adventures are united by a shared goal to reclaim the means of print production from a newly consolidated late-Victorian mass print industry. Simon Fraser University's outstanding Morris collection, inclusive of radical ephemera as well as Kelmscott volumes and other examples of fine printing, will be on display in conjunction with the talk so the audience can examine the works for themselves.

About the Speaker

Dr. Miller is professor of English at the University of California at Davis. She is the author of numerous articles and essays on Victorian print culture, radical politics in 19c England, Oscar Wilde, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and more recently ecocriticism and Victorian studies. Her first book, Framed: The New Woman Criminal in British Culture at the Fin de Siècle (University of Michigan, 2008) examined late Victorian crime narratives to understand the figure of the glamorous New Woman criminal. In Slow Print: Literary Radicalism and Late Victorian Print Culture (Stanford, 2013), Miller explored Britain's radical press from 1880-1910; Slow Print won the award for best book of the year from the North American Victorian Studies Association and was an honorable mention for the 2014 Modernist Studies Association best book prize. Her newest work is on ecology and capital in 19c British literature and culture.

About the Talk

On the night of 22 November 1982, a clandestine group called the Wimmin’s Fire Brigade set fires at three controversial pornography outlets across the lower mainland. This talk on March 2 explores the origins of these militant actions and argues that they emerged from two entangled histories: the development of a rigorous feminist movement centered in Vancouver, and the dramatic expansion of new forms of pornography. Together, the conflicting relationships that tie together feminism, pornography, and Red Hot Video have the power to place radicalism, resistance, and social violence at the heart of Canadian history.

About the Speaker

Eryk Martin received his PhD in History from SFU in 2016 and is currently a regular faculty member in the Department of History at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. His current research project, based on his dissertation, explores the history of anarchist activism, politics, and culture in Vancouver from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s.
