Subject: 'Mediated Text' Symposium: Loughborough London, 5 April 2019
Dear all,
Please see below for an invitation to - and registration instructions
for - our 'Mediated Text' symposium at Loughborough University's London
(UK) campus on Friday, 5 April 2019. An updated programme is attached.
The Mediated Text
A Textual Futures symposium at Loughborough London, 5 April 2019
Digitally-assisted ways of engaging with texts - literature, film,
theatre and soundscapes - have brought the relationship between art and
audience under new scrutiny. E-books, for example, give readers a
hitherto unknown level of control over the appearance of their texts,
while the rise of the digital audiobook places an external agent (the
narrator) between the page and its interpreter. These phenomena make
clear what is always true, though often hidden: our interactions with
texts have never been a pure, unadulterated coupling of narrative and
narratee but are always affected by numerous external factors.
On Friday 5th April 2019, Loughborough Universitys Communication and
Culture Beacon
(https://www.lboro.ac.uk/research/excellence/beacons/communication-culture/),
Sub-Theme /Textual Futures/ will host The Mediated Text symposium at
its London campus. We will be joined by members of BBCs Research and
Development team, publishers, and academics including Professors Martin
Eve and Matthew Rubery to explore how engaging with texts has always
been, is currently and may in the future be a mediated experience.
The day will feature a mix of practical demonstrations of DH projects,
video exhibitions, round table discussions, keynotes and research
papers. This variety of presentation styles will, we hope, help us to
harness the energy of this fast-moving and elastic field of
interdisciplinary research.
The symposium registration fee is £35 including lunch and other
refreshments throughout the day. Registration for those not affiliated
with Loughborough University is available at
https://store.lboro.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/school-of-the-arts-english-and-
drama/upcoming-eventssymposiums/the-mediated-text.
Please contact Ms Leah Henrickson (L.R.Henrickson@lboro.ac.uk) for
more information, and/or if you are affiliated with Loughborough
University and wish to register.

The Organising Committee and the European Society for Textual
Scholarship {file:///Users/WoutDLN/www.textualscholarship.eu} cordially invite
you to participate in the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the European Society
for Textual Scholarship (ESTS 2019), which will be held at the University of
Málaga (Spain) on November 28th-29th, 2019. This year's theme for the
conference will be: Textual Scholarship in the 21st Century.
Textual Criticism has traveled a long path of both theoretical and practical
approaches to editing. The advent of new technologies has undoubtedly
contributed to new attitudes and methods in the field. However, there is still a
long way to go and many questions remain open to debate in textual scholarship:
* In which direction is textual scholarship moving?
* What are the specific challenges, but also opportunities, that lie before
textual scholars?
* What is the scholarly, intellectual and cultural role of textual editing
and how can we realize that role?
* What kind of new tools, methods, audiences are available to textual
scholars?
A suggested, albeit not prescriptive, list of themes for conference
presentations includes:
* Textual scholarship across the centuries
* Do new technologies change our editorial principles?
* Textual scholarship: methods and tools
* Textual scholarship in the digital humanities
* New models of editing
* Editing context
As as well as other more general topics that have always been fostered by the
Society:
* Selection of texts worth editing
* The target audience
* Scholarly editions: use and users
The organizing committee welcomes abstracts of up to 300 words for 20-minute
papers until 31 May 2019. For the full CFP, which includes more detailed
submission guidelines, information on alternative session formats, confirmed
keynote speakers, and registration fees, please visit the ESTS
