Dear Sir or Madam
Fons Luminis, the student run journal at the Centre for Medieval Studies
in the University of Toronto, is pleased to announce s new CFP for their
upcoming 2015 open issue. Would you be so kind as to circulate it
through your list serve?
The submission deadline is July 1, 2014.
*Fons Luminis Call for Papers*
*“Using and Creating Digital Medievalia”*
Fons Luminis, a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal edited and
produced annually by graduate students at the Centre for Medieval
Studies in the University of Toronto
provides a forum in which to address, challenge, and explore the content and
methodologies of our various home disciplines. We invite current
graduate students to
submit papers relating in some way to the 2015 journal theme, “Using and
Creating
Digital Medievalia.”
Since the mid-twentieth century, computing has been and continues to be
a major factor
in the medievalist’s research. From Father Busa’s creation of the Index
Thomasticus in
the 1940’s to current library and archival digitization projects,
computational methods are essential aspects of the medievalist’s
occupation. Papers are encouraged to address:
medievalist use of digitally stored information; social scientists and
librarians as creators and/or curators of knowledge about the Middle
Ages; future directions of digital humanities; the importance of digital
humanities to work in paleography, codicology, diplomatics, and text
editing.
Articles may also focus on topics including (but not limited to) mapping
and space, the
impact of digitization on concepts of the archive, and digital tools in
teaching.
Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the
study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English,
follow the 16th edition (2010) of The Chicago Manual of Style, and be at
least 4,000 words in length, including footnotes. Quotations in the main
text in languages other than English should appear along with their
English translation.
As usual, we continue to accept other submissions on any aspect of
medieval studies and welcome longer review articles (approximately 1,500
words) on recent or seminal works in medieval studies.Submissions must
be received by July 1, 2014 in order to be considered for
publication.Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment)
should be sent to edsfl(a)chass.utoronto.ca <mailto:edsfl@chass.utoronto.ca>.
