About this EpisodeOriginally conceived as the prologue to the thesis, this epilogue reflects on the early, uncertain moments of adopting a “research character.” We follow the narrator’s hesitant steps into academic voice, exploring the role of genre, institutional architecture, literary influence and inherited voices in shaping the self that writes. Touching on Zadie Smith, Virginia Woolf and Erik Satie, this personal meditation becomes a broader inquiry into how we enter new worlds—and what we leave behind in doing so.This video is one of three postscripts to Scripting for Agency: An Artistic Enquiry into Selfhood, Character and Agency in the Age of AI.About this SeriesScripting for Agency: An Artistic Enquiry into Selfhood, Character and Agency in the Age of AI is a video lecture series based on Dr Katarina Ranković’s practice-based PhD in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. Combining philosophy, performance, creative writing, and AI theory, the series explores how our understanding of the self shapes our personal lives, our politics, and our relationship to intelligent technologies.LinksSeries Playlist: https://bit.ly/sfa-seriesPhD thesis (PDF format): https://bit.ly/sfa-pdfThesis artworks: https://bit.ly/sfa-artReferences- Calvino, Italo.
