SLAM25, the international German-speaking poetry slam championship, took place two weeks ago!
I was happy to toast with Denise Bretz from Lektora to celebrate their successful data donation for the creation of a poetry slam corpus of over 3,800 poetry slam texts for my master's thesis last summer 🎉

I really enjoyed Jack Halberstam's lecture on anarchitecture & its relation to trans* bodies at @fau.de today! Material & social cutting of bodies as part of trans* experiences & the use of anarchitectural language to form imaginaries, deeply resonated with me. Can't wait for tomorrow's masterclass!

Shantanu Anand's keynote about spoken word poetry in India at #PoPAG @poetryoffthepage.bsky.social was poetry itself!
What a delight to learn about the vibrant slam scene in India. German slam could learn a thing or two about the participatory and activist slam culture shaped by people like him

I am thrilled to participate in the #PoParoundtheGlobe conference and discuss the cutting-edge developments in spoken word research! A lot of new food for thought for my own endeavors in investigating German slam poetry 💜

I'm happy that I could share my passion for poetry slam & the potential for scientific exploration in DH, and introduce my corpus of German poetry slam texts at today's presentation! The lively discussion and the exciting Ideas for further use cases will be a massive enrichment for further studies!
So excited for today! Cris Ortega is writing his MA-thesis on poetry slam texts with me and Sabine Lang. Today's talk is going to give an insight into the textual data and the research questions that he is exploring in his thesis.
