Location: Massey College, University of Toronto
Link: http://bhpccolloquium2018.wordpress.com
Deadline: December 14th, 2017
Contact: bhpccolloquium@gmail.com
The 2018 Book History and Print Culture Graduate Student Colloquium has announced its theme of “Books Beyond Reading: Uses, Reuses, and Abuses of Textual Objects.” The organizing committee invites interdisciplinary approaches to producing, consuming, or understanding books (etc.) in ways that challenge conventional narratives about inscribed objects as surfaces for passive consumption. The conference seeks to explore the following questions: What do we do with books and documents in addition to reading them? Under what conditions have people used textual objects for non-reading purposes, and for whose benefit? How does the study of these uses influence the politics of knowledge production today?
For a complete list of possible topics and for more information on the event, please follow the link listed above, or contact the organizing committee at the listed email address. We look forward to your submissions!
