There's still time (just) to submit a proposal for the inaugural conference for
the new Centre for Material Texts in Cambridge. Current interest in textual
materiality is driven largely by the disciplines of Book and Cultural histories,
both of which offer fruitful potential models/methods for comics studies.
CENTRE FOR MATERIAL TEXTS
INAUGURAL CONFERENCE
FACULTY OF ENGLISH, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, 5-6 APRIL 2010
CALL FOR GRADUATE PAPERS
The Centre will be holding its inaugural conference on 5-6 April 2010. The
purpose of the conference is to explore a variety of current approaches to
material textuality across a range of periods and disciplines. Plenary speakers
include Leah Price and Peter Stallybrass. Conference panels will include
contributions from members of the Faculty, members of the University in other
disciplines, and leading international scholars.
We invite any postgraduate students who are interested in participating to
submit a short (250-300 word) abstract of their paper, or to propose a panel
by submitting three linked abstracts, by Monday 14 December 2009.
Proposals should be sent to the Centre’s Director, Jason Scott-Warren.
