The On&Off project, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), will host its final event on the 24th of october. The hybrid workshop will explore the themes of atmospheres, moods, and vibes in relation to digital media. Scholars from the fields of Audience Studies and Digital Culture will gather to discuss these ideas at the event, which also marks the presentation of the project’s final results.
The workshop will feature international experts, including project advisors Aleena Chia (Goldsmiths, University of London) and André Jansson (Karlstad University), as well as invited guests Peter Lunt (University of Leicester) and Ludmila Lupinacci (University of Leeds).
The event will take place online (via Zoom) and also at the José Araújo Auditorium, Vítor de Sá Library, Lusófona University - Lisbon University Center.
