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?
