The Schoenberg Symposium this year is on the theme of TRANSLATING SCIENCE, and we are seeking proposals for 5 minute lightning talks to be posted to YouTube as part of the event.
Symposium page: https://www.library.upenn.edu/event/translating-science Lightning talk submission form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnGsFm_CZy4usTyM-Ch2nKJw7XY_VKTrom...
Translating Science considers the networks of exchange, transmission, and translation of natural knowledge evident in manuscript culture in the pre- and early modern periods. We will examine in particular the role of the manuscript book in the translation of natural knowledge across linguistic, regional, disciplinary, and epistemic boundaries. How did scholars, physicians, or philosophers use glosses, diagrams, or other elements of mise-en-page to convey information? What does the manuscript record reveal about the diffusion and conservation of knowledge? How does the materiality of the book itself drive the movement and development of scientific knowledge? What was the role of the scientific manuscript in the era of printed books?
The deadline for submitting proposals for a lightning talk is Friday, October 14.
Applicants will be notified by October 21
Videos must be submitted to SIMS by November 7
Proposals should be relevant to the theme of TRANSLATING SCIENCE and must be 5 minutes long or shorter.
