(or something like that), which later became a chapter in my master&#8217;s thesis. after the conference, i was invited to contribute my paper to a book being compiled by jean-marc larrue, one of the organisers of the conference. the book was to be in french, so my paper would be translated into french.<\/p>\n<p>time passed and i received emails from time to time about the progress of translations and preparation for publication. i finished my masters and moved on to other things and other places. every now and again i&#8217;d remember about the book, or an email would arrive about it. then a couple of years ago came another email, this time saying that publication was getting close and asking me if could update my chapter to include some more recent work. i did so, including <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210306034519\/http:\/\/make-shift.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make-shift<\/a> as it is a very good example of my idea of the intermedial audience, then off it went to the translator and eventually to the publisher.<\/p>\n<p>and last week, a little over eight years after the conference, i received in the post a lovely shiny copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.septentrion.com\/fr\/livre\/?GCOI=27574100313200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Th\u00e9\u00e2tre et interm\u00e9dialit\u00e9&#8221;<\/a>, which includes from pages 355-381 my chapter, &#8220;La plateforme UpStage, la cyberformance et l&#8217;assistance (interm\u00e9diale)&#8221;. there are lots of other interesting-looking chapters as well, but alas i can&#8217;t read a word of any of it. it&#8217;s not the first time i&#8217;ve been published in a language other than english &#8211; the first time was an article i co-wrote with patricia jung about UpStage, published in german in &#8220;Video: Wiedergabe, Bearbeitung und Streaming unter Linux&#8221; in 2005. it&#8217;s quite a strange feeling, being unable to read your own chapter. perhaps i could read the german one now &#8211; if it wasn&#8217;t in storage in new zealand.<\/p>\n<p>and there will be more book chapters: i&#8217;m supposed to finish the first draft of one by the end of the month, and another that is due at the end of the year. it&#8217;s great to be invited to contribute and i enjoy the writing process, but unfortunately it&#8217;s never with renumeration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>in 2007, when i had just started my masters, i went to a conference on theatre and intermediality, in montreal and quebec. i gave a<span class=\"read-more-link\"><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/parlez-vous-francais\/\">Read More<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":683,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,2,14,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conference","category-cyberformance","category-language","category-theatre"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1323,"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682\/revisions\/1323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creative-catalyst.com\/expect\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
