CALL FOR PAPERS - Manuscript Studies Across the Disciplines
49th International Congress on Medieval Studies
Western Michigan University; May 8-11, 2014
Sponsored by Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures
Organized by Albert Lloret (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and Jeanette Patterson (Princeton University)
In line with one of the editorial mandates of Digital Philology, in this session, we seek to promote discussion around how manuscript research may be predicated upon effective cross-disciplinary work. We invite submissions that not only bring to light new discoveries about a particular manuscript, but also reach across disciplinary boundaries by asking broader methodological or theoretical questions, including but not limited to:
. the materiality of the codex
. the sociopolitical lives of books
. border crossings: a manuscript that travels across geographical space, across social
. milieux or, more abstractly, across languages, genres, media or other categories
. our digital engagement with medieval books
Please send a 100-word abstract and Participant Information Form to Albert Lloret at lloret@spanport.umass.edu by September 10.
