Let me in the sound of U2 conference
The last few days of my sabbatical and I’m heading Stateside, to attend the U2 conference.
I’ll collect my T-shirt.
I’ll present my paper – on which there has been quite some to-ing and fro-ing. It has taken a bit of detour as I wrote it, and is now focused on how U2 act as corporate memory makers, through analysis of U2’s live performance, including Bono’s physical performance gestures.
I’ll check out the conference and enjoy the input including Steve Averill, U2’s designer and Bill Carter, the journalist who provided U2’s links with Sarajevo during the dark days of the Bosnian war, plus the other academic papers.
And I’ll return, flying back Sunday. A very short trip stateside.
The last U2 conference (which was the first and also had a T-shirt!), was a whole lot of fun, so expecting the same.
