2016 Schoenberg Symposium_Next month!
by Ransom, Lynn 23 Oct '16

23 Oct '16

9th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 17-19, 2016 Reactions: Medieval/Modern In partnership with the Rare Book Department<https://libwww.freelibrary.org/rarebooks/index.cfm> of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies (SIMS<http://schoenberginstitute.org/>) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 9th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. This year's theme, "Reactions: Medieval/Modern," gives us space to explore the many and varied ways that people have reacted to, and acted upon, manuscripts from the Middle Ages up to today. Reactions take many forms. They include the manipulation of physical objects through, for example, the marking up of texts, addition of illustrations, the disbinding of books or rebinding of fragments, as well as the manipulation of digital objects, thanks to new technologies involved in digitization, ink and parchment analysis, virtual reconstruction, among many other processes. This symposium will also tackle how popular culture has reacted to manuscripts over time as witnessed by their use and appearance in books, games, films, and tattoo art. Our keynote speaker will be Michelle P. Brown, Professor emerita of Medieval Manuscript Studies at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, and former Curator of Manuscripts at the British Library. For more information and to register, visit the website: http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium9.html.

Satus Quaestionis of Copyright of Critical Editions
by Michelson, David Allen 21 Oct '16

21 Oct '16

Dear Colleagues, Without inviting a deluge of personal opinions or advocacy, I am wondering if anyone could inform me of the current state of legal decisions regarding copyright of critical editions of medieval texts. In other words, I am just curious about the current legal status of such copyright (in any legal context, US, UK, EU, etc). I read recently of this decision in France which may be relevant (http://apocryphes.hypotheses.org/389) and was wondering if perhaps there were any recent publications in the field of DH, law, or cultural heritage preservation that tried to summarize the current legal landscape. Some what discouragingly, a top English language google search for this topic (https://www.google.com/search?q=Copyright+Status+of+Edited+Ancient+Texts&ie…) returns a page from 1995, so this is an issue that has been a developing question for a while. p.s. apologies for cross-posting to Digital Classicist members, but it seems that list may also have some input. Best, David A. Michelson Assistant Professor of the History of Christianity Vanderbilt University www.syriaca.org

CFP: VOX MEDIA: Sound in Literature [Deadline Approaching]
by Nuno Neves 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

MATLIT, 2017, vol. 5 VOX MEDIA: Sound in Literature Editors: Osvaldo Manuel Silvestre (University of Coimbra) Felipe Cussen (University of Santiago de Chile) Call for Papers The easiness by which the idea of literature translates into the idea of text and the latter into “letters printed on paper” is probably to blame for the one-sided version both common sense and critical belief constantly show of the relation between readers and books: literature is something that we read in silence. Better still, literature is a text that becomes a book by means of an inscription process that becomes invisible itself, since the materiality of the text is annulled as a result of what is being transmitted by the former: ideas, meaning, in a word, contents. And yet, there is no literature without a material inscription process which turns each verbal sign into a thing belonging to the phenomenal world, to be seen before being read and to be read in silence – or not. Or else, in order to be spoken (another form of material inscription), preceding and dispensing with the writing or coming immediately after it. There are, it is well known, western and non-western literary narratives in which Voice precedes writing. There are, also, some arguments supporting this claim, although one might suspect a mild revisionist tone to some of them. Nevertheless, this is not about searching for a privilege of the Origin for the study of the sound dimension of literary phenomena, but rather about admitting the relevance of such a field to a larger, simultaneously modern and archaic, version of literature. In the crossing of historical vanguards and changes in communication technologies, literature has opened itself to the materialities of sound, voice and performance. This process was accelerated and dramatized by both mediation and technical reproduction up until the digital revolution, which eventually led to the historical and technological specificity of the post-digital state of affairs. The process further suffered the overlap of massification, thus operating to a large extent on a scene of “re-oralization”, although by then within the historical setting of a “secondary orality”. From the more avant-garde to the more massified environments, from Sound Poetry to the Spoken Word or Slam Poetry, without overlooking the vast intermediary territory of “readings (or recitations) of poetry”, it is safe to admit that the self-awareness that planet literature has is also to encompass those ever-growing dimensions: phonetic poetry, sound poetry, recordings of literary texts (either by its own authors or other readers), setting of poems into music (especially in the cases in which the voice is not turned into singing, thus sabotaging the form of “song”), poetry and narrative live readings, spoken word, slam poetry, rap. MATLIT’s volume 5 is thus intent on exploring what we call literature as VOX MEDIA: voice as a means for literature and the disturbances suffered by the medium from the combined effect of performance and the technologies for mediation, representation and reproduction. And also other instances, like the tensions between the body and technology, audibility v. inaudibility of text, sound and meaning, physical presence and/or absence of the authors, and so forth. The goal is not only that of generating a catalogue or a compendium of the contemporary effects of VOX MEDIA on the notion of literature, but that of generating an archaeology for VOX MEDIA and for all related phenomena repressed by their historical invisibility. Submissions must be uploaded before *October 31, 2016*. Prior to submission, authors have to register in the journal system: http://iduc.uc.pt/index.php/matlit/login Please see author guidelines: http://iduc.uc.pt/index.php/ matlit/about/submissions
