The 9th conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship will
be an international academic forum for communication between different
approaches to historical and literary source editing. Edited source
texts, documents and databases are essential to literary, political,
historical scholarship, as well as to social studies, art history,
music, philosophy or theology. The conference aims at bringing together
academics working in disciplines that have so far worked within
independently operating scholarly traditions, promoting innovative,
multidisciplinary exchange and dialogue. The conference will examine the
transformation of traditional editorial practice into a digital
environment and the creation of innovative opportunities like the use of
digital tools and media.
Scholars of any discipline related to editing texts and data nowadays
have at their disposal almost limitless possibilities to present texts
and data to the public. Traditionally reflection and practice show
seemingly different approaches to textual scholarship and documentary
editing of historical sources. The aim of this conference is to debate
these topics and to strive for a common approach towards the challenges
of publishing. Key concepts are heuristic, selection, representativeness
and presentation to the user.
The conference is organized by the European Society for Textual
Scholarship (ESTS) and the Huygens Institute for the History of the
Netherlands (Huygens ING), a Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and
Sciences institute.
