Digital Editing Now 7-9 January, 2016 Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) University of Cambridge For programme and booking, see: http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/26264 In recent years, there has been a significant shift in scholarly culture and funding strategies towards digital formats for edition projects. This is driven by the potential for new forms of production, presentation and access that the digital promises. And it involves a reassessment of the conventions that have determined editorial practice in the age of print. This conference gathers together leading figures in the field to exchange ideas about the state of digital editing, its future potential, challenges and limits. How should we place ourselves relative to fundamental issues of authority/openness, durability/fluidity? Can we establish a set of ideal types for digital editorial method, or would its optimal strengths rather lie in more hybrid forms, including a productive mode of cohabitation with the print formats that it appears to want to supersede? --- Visit http://www.magicandmedicine.hps.cam.ac.uk/ for the latest updates to the Casebooks Project: A Digital Edition of Simon Forman's and Richard Napier's Medical Records --- Dr Lauren Kassell Department of History & Philosophy of Science University of Cambridge Free School Lane Cambridge CB2 3RH www.hps.cam.ac.uk +44 1223 767173 --- Pembroke College Cambridge CB2 1RF www.pem.cam.ac.uk +44 1223 330897
