Jon Meanjin for some literary thought and madness at this year's MWF:
BIRTHDAY STORIES
Celebrate the combined existences of three of Australia’s most prominent literary magazines – Meanjin (70 years), Going Down Swinging (30 years) and Overland (56 years). How did they begin, and why? How have they developed and where are they headed?
WHEN: Sunday Aug 29, 2010, 5.30-6.30pm
WHERE: Festival Club, ACMI
This is a free event, courtesy of the Victorian Government’s City of Literature initiative.
MEANLAND: COPYRIGHT VERSUS CREATIVITY
The internet and digital technology is challenging traditional notions of copyright, but many authors are finding new and innovative ways to circulate their work — and to make a living while doing so. Acclaimed SF writer, blogger and commentator Cory Doctorow looks at the perils and opportunities of this brave new world.
WHEN: Thurs Sept 2, 2010, 6-7pm
WHERE: RMIT Capitol Theatre
Tickets at $26.00 for adult early bird special, $23.50 concession. Bookings: http://www.mwf.com.au/2010/content/mwf-2010-events.asp?name=20100902-1800-Big-Ideas-Copyright-versus-Creativity
MEANJIN @ MAGAZINE
Join Meanjin for a morning of literary snapshots as they host Magazine at the MWF – Ben O’Mara talks to Jessica Au on the anxieties of being a (semi) professional writer; Ruby Murray shares her Alan Marshall Short Story Prize winner ‘The Things that Lucille Did’; Belinda Rule reads from ‘The Secret of the Dark Elves’; and Michael Harden and Sophie Cunningham discuss the impact of liquor licensing laws on Melbourne’s bar, restaurant and music culture.
Magazine will also feature conversations and readings with festival guests Gregory Day (The Grand Hotel), Daren Shiau (Heartland) and Adrian Hyland (Gunshot Road).
This is a free event
WHEN: Saturday 4 September, 10am–1.30pm
WHERE: River Terrace, Federation Square.
WHITE NOISE IN A NETWORKED WORLD
Feeling overwhelmed by Facebook, Twitter, email, texts and RSS feeds? Drawing from her essay in the June issue of Meanjin, Kate Crawford talks to Sophie Cunningham about the history of noise from the 18th century onward – what lessons we can learn about managing the digital noise of today, and how do we go about literary publishing in a networked media world?
WHEN: Sunday 5 Sept 2010, 5.30pm
WHERE: ACMI Studio 1
