A. 簡介 Introduction (within 500 words, Chinese or English)
「學科之間的參考書目」國際會議將匯集學術專業人士，處理當前橫跨學術、教學、專業和策展領域之研究文本藝品的問題。會議中將探討以物件為取向的學科如人類學和考古學共同的理論和方法，但這些共同的理論和方法對書目這學科而言是嶄新的。本會議由罕見書籍學校和安德烈·梅隆基金會贊助，旨在促進跨學科交流和未來的學術合作。該計畫將在2019年達到高峰，屆時會將會議參與者修訂後的論文集結成冊。 [Original Conference information] Bibliography Among the Disciplines, a four-day international conference to be held in Philadelphia from 12 to 15 October 2017, will bring together scholarly professionals who are poised to address current problems pertaining to the study of textual artifacts that cross scholarly, pedagogical, professional, and curatorial domains. The conference will explore theories and methods common to the object-oriented disciplines, such as anthropology and archaeology, but new to bibliography. The Bibliography Among the Disciplines program, supported by Rare Book School and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, aims to promote focused cross-disciplinary exchange and future scholarly collaborations. The project will culminate in 2019 with a volume of essays contributed by conference participants. Both the conference and subsequent volume will seek to build on the ongoing series of symposia conducted by Rare Book School’s Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography, established in 2012 through funding from the Foundation. Plenary Speakers: François Déroche (Chair in the History of the Qur’an, Text and Transmission, Collège de France), Anthony Grafton (Henry Putnam University Professor of History, Princeton University), and Nancy McGovern (Head of Curation and Preservation Services, MIT Libraries) CFPs: Paper Sessions CFP: Paper Sessions Graphic Representation: Illustration & Diagrams Session Organizers: Claire Eager (University of Virginia), Jeannie Kenmotsu (University of Pennsylvania) Friday, 13 October 2017, 10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA This panel session hopes to foster a conversation about books that contain illustrations and diagrams, situating them within their contexts of production and reception, as well as formally and stylistically. What motivations—aesthetic, communicative, economic—go into the decision to produce a book with images? Do buyers’ and readers’ responses to those images indicate successful production decisions, or are the needs and expectations of book-users different from book-producers? How can we evaluate various publishing constructions, mises-en-page, or other relationships between text and image? What is the relevance of artistic style in diagrammatic communication? How might we identify “form,” “convention,” or “inheritance” and their relevance to fine or workaday illustration practices? How do the answers to these questions alter across times, technologies, and cultures? This session seeks to explore these questions from a range of perspectives. Possible themes include: production and reception histories, illustration techniques, specific projects or editions, formal analysis, valuation over time. During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. We welcome proposals from artists, librarians, dealers, collectors, curators, conservators, students, and scholars. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Textual Instruments Session Organizer: Nick Wilding (Georgia State University) Friday, 13 October 2017, 10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA All texts do something, but some texts do more than others. What happens when instruments such as brass astrolabes, wooden armillary spheres or ivory dials are translated into manuscript vellum or paper instruments? How does print affect the production and use of such artifacts? What happens when volvelles rip and tables tear? Do some instruments, such as perpetual motion machines or flying machines, work only in print, and if so, are they satirical, and to whom? What is the textual iconography of the scientific, medical, musical or legal instrument? What is the effect of the replication of the printed instrument on its supposedly concrete original? This session seeks to explore the relationship between making knowledge and making books, by analyzing the production, dissemination and use of textual instruments. Proposals are welcome on any aspect addressing these, or related, topics, in any geographical or chronological zone. During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Questions of Scale, Production & Labor Session Organizer: Juliet Sperling (University of Pennsylvania) Moderator: Suzanne Karr Schmidt (Assistant Curator of Prints and Drawings, Art Institute of Chicago) Friday, 13 October 2017, 1:45–3:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA Creators of books, prints, and manuscripts have long experimented with extremes of scale and format: consider expansive fold-out maps, Audubon’s double elephant folios, thumbnail-sized Emancipation Proclamations, or Ed Ruscha’s sprawling accordion strips. These compositional limit cases have inspired evocative examinations of cultural, social, and phenomenological issues such as practices of reading, devotion, and display. Yet when it comes to unusually-sized books, certain otherwise common bibliographical questions have been left unasked: for instance, how were these remarkable objects constructed—by what technologies and maneuvers? What forms of work, collaboration, and mobility were involved in their distribution and circulation? Odd formats, often among the most visible products of their day, challenge normative approaches to bibliographical research. This panel seeks papers that demonstrate how close attention to the physical qualities of unusual scale—heft, lightness, miniaturization, inflation—can help identify otherwise unseen instances of transgression and innovation in bibliographical histories of process, labor, and production. During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words that addresses the material, social, and cultural meanings of scale in books from any time period or geography, by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Transmission & Transfer of Images Session Organizer: Aaron Hyman (University of California, Berkeley) Moderator: Madeleine Viljoen (Curator of Prints, New York Public Library) Friday, 13 October 2017, 1:45–3:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA If the transmission of images, both geographic and between different media, has become a common theme of recent scholarly investigation, the physical and technical nitty-gritty of these operations has received far less attention. More often, scholars approach transmission and transfer from their indices: a copy that cleaves to an original, or an object made in one part of the world and found in another. But precisely how were images sent far and wide? And what were the technical practices by which one image became another, or was used to create another type of object altogether? In proposing answers to these questions, this panel aims to grapple with transmission and transfer not only in the abstract frame of “circulation,” but also, and more fundamentally, as material processes. The panel thereby seeks to methodologically highlight the kinds of material evidence that might be used to reconstruct the physical processes of transmission and transfer. What kinds of access can residue (smudges, stains, additions) and erasure (pinholes, missing pieces, cutaways) give us to the artist’s, engraver’s, or metal smith’s studio? What are the vestiges of a scribe’s method of copying or the publisher’s practice of forgery or re-edition? How does wear, or even preventative reinforcement, divulge the particularities of an object’s journey through the world? Proposals are welcomed that focus on images which traveled, at least originally, by means of paper or parchment supports—prints, book illustrations, manuscript illuminations, among others—in any geography and period. During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words, along with an abridged CV, by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Degradation, Loss, Recovery & Fragmentation Session Organizer: Jane Raisch (University of California, Berkeley) Moderator: Arthur Bahr (Associate Professor of Literature, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Friday, 13 October 2017, 3:45–5:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA Bibliographical analysis has often privileged the complete, stable, and undamaged textual artifact as a scholarly ideal. And yet, fragments, lacunae, palimpsests, and other material traces of loss offer crucial windows onto how textual artifacts are read, unread, and remade across periods and between cultures. This panel looks to assemble papers that broadly reconsider how an attentiveness to textual absence and material alteration might intersect with, inform, and be informed by bibliographical analysis. Paper proposals should speak to the panel’s general theme and might touch upon some of the following questions: · What–and how–can we learn from lacunae, damage, and/or destruction? How–methodologically and practically–can we read loss? · How might distorted, illegible, or fractured textual objects necessitate new ways of reading and new approaches to bibliographical analysis? How might they challenge traditional tenets of bibliographical practice? · What are the possibilities and limitations of reconstructing–physically, digitally, or editorially–degraded or fragmented artifacts? · How do erasure and degradation productively complicate textual fixity? · How might fragmentation and loss be differently constituted across different cultures and time periods? How can bibliography account for this? · How can we productively record textual and material loss, absence, or alteration? · What is the role of conservation in preserving or correcting fragmentation or degradation? · As scholars and custodians of damaged textual artifacts, how do we balance the (often conflicting) demands of preservation and access? During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. As interdisciplinary diversity is a goal of the panel, I encourage paper proposals from those in any academic discipline, including library and information sciences, conservation, museum studies and curatorship, as well as antiquarian booksellers, and book collectors. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Materiality of Digital Objects Session Organizer: Ryan Cordell (Northeastern University) Moderator: Matthew G. Kirschenbaum (Professor, Department of English, University of Maryland) Friday, 13 October 2017, 3:45–5:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA Scholarship in the humanities increasingly relies on digital primary and secondary sources, whether born-digital materials or digitized historical documents, but scholars have not adequately grappled with the bibliographical implications of this shift. To that end, this session asks: how should twenty-first-century bibliographers treat born-digital and digitized objects in order to take seriously the materiality and sociology of computational texts? Which established bibliographical approaches can—or should—transfer to the digital realm, and what new methods, both technical and intellectual, are required for responsible scholarship that draws on digital sources? How could bibliography interface with adjacent fields such as media archeology, computer forensics, data science, and library science as it adapts its methods for the computational medium? Conversely, what methods and insights from the long bibliographical tradition can—or should—more robustly inform conversations in those adjacent fields? During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers The Social Life of Books: Uses of Text & Image Beyond Reading & Viewing Session Organizers: Aaron Hyman (University of California, Berkeley), Hannah Marcus (Harvard University), Marissa Nicosia (Penn State University, Abington College) Moderator: Leah Price (Francis Lee Higginson Professor of English Literature, Harvard University) Saturday, 14 October 2017, 8:30–10:00 a.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA Fish wrappers, cigarette rollers, toilet paper, the backing for embroidery, lining for baking pans, the raw material for papier mâché—these are but a few of the uses that the page was subjected to outside the normative economies of reading and viewing. But texts and images also often functioned in less pragmatic and more freighted ways: as numinously charged surfaces to be touched upon one’s person, as personal possessions hidden inside mummy bundles for the enjoyment of the deceased, as symbols to be iconoclastically destroyed, or as divine conduits to be ceremonially ingested. Sometimes books and images, which by their nature inform, instruct, invite annotation, and implore users to follow their designs, incited such uses beyond mere reading or viewing. We seek interrogations of uses and reuses of the page that emphasize instances in which material necessity was charged with a semantic or symbolic dimension. When was the sheer need for paper or parchment complicated or compounded by the content of the page? Or when might repurposing have been prompted by alternative understandings of a book’s materials, in their own right? During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words, along with an abridged CV, by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Books as Agents of Contact Session Organizers: Hansun Hsiung (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science), András Kiséry (The City College of New York), Yael Rice (Amherst College) Moderator: Isabel Hofmeyr (Professor of African Literature, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg; Global Distinguished Professor of English, New York University) Saturday, 14 October 2017, 8:30–10:00 a.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA The book territorializes and deterritorializes. It binds together materials, technologies, and labor from far and abroad–a letter from Goa, an editor in Rome, Chinese paper, German engravers, Italian leather, English capital–only to be dispersed and reconstituted, from hand to hand, collection to collection, dismembered, reassembled, and reinvented for new audiences in new locations. This panel seeks to understand how books as physical artifacts are agents of contact, summoning diverse persons and places into unanticipated relationships. Of particular interest are proposals that address the following: What formal or material features of books facilitate or generate promiscuity? How does the physical object of the book create audiences that exceed or trouble established political and territorial maps? Can the logic of book circulation challenge narratives of globalization as the rise of commerce and empire? We welcome proposals for any time period, from antiquity to the present, and interpret “books” broadly as surfaces of semiotic inscription, from stone, papyri, and parchment, to paper, and even digital media. Papers will be circulated in advance of the conference. Presenters will deliver short summary provocations (8-10 minutes), followed by a moderator-led discussion. Please submit a proposal of no more than 200 words, along with a brief CV, by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Manuscript in the Age of Print Session Organizers: Rachael King (University of California, Santa Barbara) & Marissa Nicosia (Penn State University, Abington College) Moderator: Margaret J.M. Ezell (Distinguished Professor of English and John and Sara Lindsey Chair of Liberal Arts, Texas A&M University) Saturday, 14 October 2017, 10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA In the period after the rise of print culture(s) and public sphere(s), we now know that the production and circulation of manuscripts—from letters and diaries to scientific treatises and novels—continued and even flourished alongside innovative printing practices. Even so, many aspects of the relationship between manuscript and print remain to be explored by scholars. How should we best describe the status of manuscript and print (and, for that matter, of orality and literacy): in terms of transition, transcendence, interaction, symbiosis, co-dependence? To what extent do the different affordances of the two media account for the ongoing prominence of manuscripts after the advent of printed publications? How do we (should we) avoid teleology while also noting progressive change in materials and processes over time? This panel seeks to address such questions through papers that investigate manuscript practices and texts and/or explore the interaction of manuscript and print in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. We invite scholars working in different geographical and linguistic contexts to contribute to this interdisciplinary effort. During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Reading the Whole Book: Object Interpretation Session Organizer: Lauren Jennings (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) Moderator: Stephen Nichols (Professor Emeritus and Research Professor; James M. Beall Professor Emeritus of French and Humanities, Johns Hopkins University) Saturday, 14 October 2017, 10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA This panel takes as its premise the idea that far from being a neutral container, the whole book and its ‘matrix’—physical form, contents, makers, readers, and history of use—are fundamental to the construction of meaning. By exploring the relationships between texts (broadly conceived) and the books and manuscripts in which they take form as material objects, we seek to highlight intersections between textual criticism, codicology, paleography, and bibliography. Submissions from scholarly professionals in a wide range of fields and disciplines (e.g., literary studies, musicology, history, art history, curation, conservation, book arts, the rare book trade, etc.) are welcome. Presentations that are interdisciplinary in approach and subject matter are especially encouraged. During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Comparative Histories of the Book Session Organizers: Megan McNamee (Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts) & Caroline Wigginton (University of Mississippi) Moderator: Jeffrey F. Hamburger (Kuno Francke Professor of German Art & Culture, History of Art & Architecture, Harvard University) Saturday, 14 October 2017, 3:45–5:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA What is a book? How is it read and by whom? Where is it stored or displayed? What constitutes its worth? Answers to such questions are manifold, varying not only over time and by location, but also among the askers. Vessels of knowledge and vehicles of communication, books serve as a point of contact among the disciplines; their histories are of mutual concern. As material artifacts, their physical and aesthetic forms are of interest to object-oriented fields of study. Humanists, scientists, curators, conservators, collectors, librarians, and archivists each approach books with their own questions and tools of investigation. Their diverse modes of interrogation yield different kinds of information, yet these distinct insights often remain unshared, siloed within the communities to which investigators belong. This session posits that comparative histories invigorate our methodologies and are especially essential to understanding books. We seek individually or collaboratively authored papers at disciplinary, cultural, and professional crossroads that explicitly consider the implications of comparative practices, as well as the mechanics of such work. Papers will be pre-circulated, and participants will give 5-minute summary presentations at the conference. Feel free to contact Megan McNamee and/or Caroline Wigginton with questions about this session. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 15 November 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Reappraising the Redundant: The Value of Copies in the Study of Textual Artifacts Session Organizer: Kappy Mintie (University of California, Berkeley) Moderator: David Whitesell (Curator, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia) Saturday, 14 October 2017, 3:45–5:15 p.m. Bibliography Among the Disciplines Conference | 12–15 October 2017, Philadelphia, PA As libraries and special collections confront budget reductions, diminishing shelf space, and the rapid pace of digitization, copies of a given title are increasingly withdrawn from collections or replaced with digital surrogates. While acknowledging the numerous challenges facing libraries and special collections today, this panel seeks to reappraise so-called “redundant” volumes and to highlight the value of physical copies of titles to the study of textual artifacts. This panel invites proposals for papers from a range of disciplines, time periods, and geographies in which the examination of multiple copies or editions of a given text has yielded key insights or discoveries. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the role of copies in the study of the production, distribution, and use of textual artifacts; the development of print and illustration technologies; copyright law, reprinting, and piracy; censorship of texts and images; scholarly editing; the conservation and preservation of textual artifacts; and provenance studies. During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator.
