Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

María Mencía reflects on the development of her practice-based research project, "Transient Self-Portrait," presenting aim, research enquiries, process and influences in the production of this interactive piece, based on two pivotal sonnets from Spanish literature of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. She investigates new literacies and poetics of engagement while exploring the concepts that emanate from these sonnets with respect to the cultural references and attitudes of our period, the twenty-first-century mediated society and the digital medium we inhabit.
