barely ten years after the vienna poetry school was founded we find ourselves standing before a new situation, to re-think and re-develop everything from the bottom up. back then, we were faced with the question of the "teachability" of literature, today it is the question of virtual teaching and learning, its structuring and organizing. the academic situation described by plato was based on the personal presence of the all those involved in the teaching process, and this is now being put in question. the limitation of the participants is being put in question. the criteria of selection and evaluation is being put in question. what does monologue mean, what does dialogue mean, once multidirectional forms of communication have entered the picture? what does student-body mean, when dispersed and globally scattered, voyeur-like addressees have entered the picture? can we translate academics using the availability of the internet into the virtual or do the new networks also generate new forms of teaching that, in the platonic sense, uproot the act of teaching, leaving the traditional closed up classroom behind and transporting it elsewhere? what is that: an internet class? like when the school was founded, again we are learning by doing an experimental path and trusting in the power of the invention of the authors. their personalities, their suggestions, and their practice will be the center of attention. we will be making the structural results of a three year trial period available, the didactical basic patterns, the link system, the framework of the organizational procedure that writers like h.c. artmann, marlene streeruwitz and anne tardos took part in with their pilot classes. the 1. development level of the "virtual academy" offers the following: - classes within digital space (internet) with exercises, advice, secondary material, _commentaries and forums. - readings within analog space (wien, alte schmiede) with theoretical and poetological _insertions relating to the current activities. - a symposium within analog space (wien, radiokulturhaus) to the theme of _"virtual teaching and learning". - a book (wien, passagen verlag) with documentation of the three year trial period. - continuing discussions in digital as well as analog space _(conversations, email, letters, fax, jpeg, mp3, wav, party, eremitage, mobile and _standard telephone _communication) on the perspectives of a "virtual academy" and its basic, _vital tension, mouthwork- literaturework- network. the classes offered are the results of an intense cooperation of many years with the author, media-theoretician and webmaster orphan kipcak. he and the employees of his firm adm, i owe my thanks, as well as my team colleague susi ondrusova (editorship), barbara ruhsmann (scientific care) and lena kaser (production), mag. ulrike ulrich (promotion) und moritz wurnig (hardwaredoctor). viva la poesia! christian ide hintze wien, july 2000 |
