Conference: Future Perfect of the Book (all-day)Nov 25
At a moment when the rise of e-Readers foretells the end of the printed book, the founder of the Internet Archive Brewster Kahle launches an initiative for the preservation of the book. He is creating a storehouse for physical books in specially-adapted containers on the West Coast of the United States in order to preserve them as “backup copies” for posterity. His idea came about as a reaction against the notion that books can be put beyond use (or thrown away) as soon as they are digitized.
While the future of the book is certainly an important topic for consideration, an initiative such as Kahle’s also begs the question how did past the past envision the future of the book – or of the predominant medium of the time. Victor Hugo’s phrase, ‘ceci tuera cela’, spelt a new paradigm of mistrust when the printed book suddenly disrupted the foundation of manuscript culture and the transmission of the written. Although the digital revolution is possibly the most radical change in the history of writing, one can wonder how other similar transitions fared: from the scroll to the codex, from manuscript to printed book, from printing on the handpress to machine and offset printing, from writing by hand to writing on the typewriter and the wordprocessor? More fundamentally, do the concerns of fifteenth-century critics of print like those of Abbot Johannes Trithemius of Sponheim have anything in common with twenty-first-century anxieties about the triumph of digital technology? Is access to knowledge and preservation, which champions of the digital revolution invoke, really a new concern? How much of the (old) culture of the book is retained in the new digital media?
This colloquium, therefore, wants to consider not just what “will be”, but also “what would have been” – the future perfect of the book. We invite proposals (no more than 250 words) for 20-minutes papers on any topic in book history relating to the future of the book considered at any moment in history. Deadline: 15 October 2011. Please email papers to the organisers: Cynthia Johnston (Research Student, Institute of English Studies): cynthia.johnston@postgrad.sas.ac.uk; Dr Wim Van Mierlo (Lecturer in Textual Scholarship and English Literature, Institute of English Studies): wim.van-mierlo@sas.ac.uk .
Topics may include: competing technologies: scroll v. codex/paper v. screen/writing v. typing; manuscript culture in the age of print; the Gutenberg revolution as devolution; the library of the future in the past; old books and new media; mass digitization or digital archive; book collecting in the digital era; mise-en-page and digital design; hypertext and other outmoded technologies; readers and e-readers.

Die Zukunft der Geisteswissenschaften in einer multipolaren Welt (all-day)Dec 15 – Dec 16
http://cms.uni-konstanz.de/wissenschaftsforum/veranstaltungen/aktuelle-veranstaltungen/die-zukunft-der-geisteswissenschaften/
In den letzten Jahren war häufig die Klage zu hören, dass die Geisteswissenschaften marginalisiert würden. In der Tat, die Wahrnehmung von Wissenschaft im Allgemeinen und der ‚Humanities’ im Besonderen erfolgt zunehmend in ökonomischer Perspektive und versetzt diese in Rechtfertigungszwänge. Die Frage ist berechtigt: Welche Rolle spielen die Geisteswissenschaften in der vom kulturellen und sozialen Wandel geprägten Gesellschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts? Welche Bedeutung haben sie in der modernen Wissensgesellschaft? Internationale Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler sowie Vertreterinnen und Vertreter aus Politik und Medien diskutieren über die Funktionen und Potenziale der Geisteswissenschaften in einer multipolaren Welt.

CfP: THE FUTURE OF PHILOLOGY, 11th Annual Graduate Student Conference (all-day)Dec 16
Call for Papers
11th Annual Graduate Student Conference
Deutsches Haus, Columbia University, New York
February 24 & 25, 2012THE FUTURE OF PHILOLOGY
Philology in the emphatic sense is undergoing a renaissance within the
humanities. This revival of the “core competencies” of literary
studies bespeaks a newfound awareness of the status and relevance of
literature and language studies among other disciplines. We will
explore these currents as possibilities for interdisciplinary research
rather than just as counter-trends to it.Three tendencies can be distinguished within this recent development:
(1) a broadening of the thematic and methodological scope that points
to a movement away from the text itself. By this we mean not only the
emergence of cultural and media studies, but also the department’s
function as an outpost of continental philosophy and a testing ground
for questions not yet ascribed to specific disciplines.
(2) a recent focus on the old core competencies of philological work
and research that point to a return to the text, such as edition
philology, the study of the materiality of texts, archival studies,
narratology, and genre theory.
(3) an increasing historical and praxeological self-reflection of the
discipline itself. As products of the nineteenth century, modern
language philologies emerged as politically charged national
philologies whose residual nationalism demands critical attention.We are not simply confronted with a return to traditional values and a
turning away from interdisciplinarity. Philology does in fact have
something to offer to other disciplines. In light of all these
differing tendencies, what are the common boundaries of the
discipline? Have these boundaries reached a degree of permeability
that threatens the cohesion of the field itself, or might this
apparent diversification prove to be a force of consolidation? Can
these currents contribute to each other? And can other disciplines
learn from philological research methods?We encourage submissions from all language and literature departments,
as well as other fields within the humanities and social sciences.
Reflections on the profile of the discipline of philology are as
welcome as presentations that exemplify new thematic and
methodological currents and their position within the field.The conference will be held at Deutsches Haus at Columbia University
in the City of New York on Friday 24-25, 2012. The keynote speaker
will be announced in the near future.
