Swindon, where Oscar James and Mona Hammond played M'beth and wife of M'beth in "The Black Macbeth" in the early 70s #ahrcchat

— AHRC Press · Mon, May 20 2013 06:35:04

TH: The Black Macbeth was interesting as it saw Macbeth as an "exotic" play. It had a white director, called Peter Coe #ahrcchat

— AHRC Press · Mon, May 20 2013 06:38:11

TH: That kind of production has always been controversial, ever since Orson Wells and his famous "Voodoo Macbeth" #ahrcchat

Naughton: We think about all of this stuff in a fantastically short term way. For years I have been struggling to improve that #digitrans

— AHRC Digi Trans · Mon, Nov 19 2012 02:13:20

Naughton: The trouble with living through a revolution is that you have no idea how it is going to play out or what will happen #digitrans

Naughton: Mankind has done this experiment once before. We have already lived through one communications revolution #digitrans

Naughton: Anyone who thinks they know what is currently happening is not fully informed #digitrans

Naughton: Arts and Humanities people talk about "The Digital" as if it is some kind of alien space #digitrans

Naughton: What determines what happens is the affordances that generate them #digitrans

Naughton: Copying is to digital technology is what breathing is to animal life #digitrans

— AHRC Digi Trans · Mon, Nov 19 2012 02:24:13

Naughton: Our IP regimes were developed in an analogue era, but now copying is perfect, so these regimes are irrelevant #digitrans

Naughton: Convergence was a desirable term in the media industries, but they hoped everything would converge onto their gadget #digitrans

Naughton: Once the web took away classified advertising from print newspapers, it dissolved the value chain #digitrans

Naughton: Book publishers have recently discovered that they are not as indispensable as they thought #digitrans

Naughton: The most important affordance of digital technology is that disruption is a feature, not a bug #digitrans

Naughton: We invented a global machine for springing surprises #digitrans
