Call for Papers: *Digitizing the Senses*
a panel for the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
conference in Tempe, AZ, 12-14 February 2009
While digital media have enabled new and innovative access to medieval
and Renaissance texts, these same media hold perhaps even more potential
for investigating and representing the material cultures of these
periods. This panel of papers will build on recent scholarship on
materiality by bringing together innovative research on the theory and
praxis of digitizing medieval and Renaissance material culture.
especially as it relates to the senses. Topics may address theory and/or
practice in the application of digital technology to the study of
material culture, including but not limited to art, architecture,
cartography, the anatomical and cultural body, collections,
antiquarianism and early archeology, dramaturgy, arts and crafts,
printed and manuscript materials. Accepted papers may also be
considered for a collection of essays on "Digitizing Medieval and Early
Modern Material Culture" to be edited by Brent Nelson (University of
Saskatchewan) and Melissa Terras (University College London) for the New
Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies series edited by Ray
Siemens and Bill Bowen.
Please submit title, brief abstract, and statement of affiliation to
brent.nelson_at_usask.ca by *October 14, 2008*.
