Immersivity: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Spaces of Immersion by Florian Freitag, Céline Molter, Laura Katharina Mücke, Helena Rapp, Damien B. Schlarb, Elisabeth Sommerlad, Clemens Spahr, Dominic Zerhoch

“…This article proposes to shift the scholarly focus from the conceptually, terminologically, and methodologically fuzzy notion of “immersion” to the concept of “immersivity,” and thus from a discussion of experiences to an analysis of the productive forces that enable such experiences (aesthetic and otherwise). Using case studies from theme parks, film, and immersive theatre to video games and immersive educational spaces, we argue that immersivity is a distinct term that denotes an inherent quality of objects in general and of mediated, delineated, real and virtual spaces in particular. …”

Reviving/Revising “Lycidas”: Virginia Woolf’s Elegy to Unborn Poets in A Room of One’s Own by Marie Laniel

“…Whereas, in “Lycidas,” John Milton mourns a young aspiring poet who died prematurely, and thus strives to leave his mark on a long-established tradition, Woolf finds herself in the paradoxical position of mourning female poets who never came to existence, because “they had no tradition behind them,” a loss for which there can be no aesthetic compensation. To offer an alternative to the canonical, androcentric configuration of pastoral elegy, Woolf symbolically untwines the wreath of artistic consecration, woven in the opening lines of “Lycidas,” and returns the image of the laurel crown to its metamorphic instability: the flight of Daphne as unlimited creative potential and endless pursuit.…”
