Centre for Textual and Cultural Analysis

Description

The Centre for Textual and Cultural Analysis (TCA) was created following the 2014 Research Excellence Framework as the more integrated home of what were perhaps the longest-established research strands within the individual subject areas of the school. These strands include musicology; score and performance analysis; historical and cultural approaches to text, score and performance; theatre and film scriptwriting; and transnational and transcultural analyses of performance (including established international work in the migration of artists and arts diaspora studies).

Researchers in the centre analyse cultural artefacts considered in some way to be textual or to exist as reference points within sets of established or emergent cultural discourses. Works produced in recent years include studies of individual or collected films, music scores, music performances and recordings; as well as play texts and performances. More recent additions to the publication portfolio of this centre include critical accounts of the ways in which new media (including many digital media) function as agents of cultural change or transformation, and also accounts of the ways in which ephemeral digital interactions can and do exist as arts artefacts in their own right.
