Creative, Critical, Editing: A Virtual Symposium | April 2021
Creative critical approaches are having a growing impact on how we do research in the humanities – from practice-based work in art, drama and performance, to creative writing, visible and interventionist modes of translation and annotation, autoethnography and experimental ways of curating archival resources. At the same time, the digital humanities are offering new avenues for disseminating creative critical work – enabling a mixture of textual, audible and visual formats, interactive elements, audience participation and a more international scope. But the rise of the digital has also taught us to appreciate the materiality of the book in new ways even as Zoom reminds us of the joys of personal interactions.
We propose to make connections between these various developments through the concept of 'editing' – a practice that can take many forms: an edited collection of essays, a scholarly edition of canonical texts (from the Bible to contemporary poetry), an artistic practice (artist's books, exhibitions), an advertising gimmick (a special edition of scented candles), a form of censorship (redacting out sensitive material). We are hoping to bring together scholars and critics, archivists and librarians, artists and creative practitioners, textual and digital editors and other thinkers – within and beyond the academy – in a virtual symposium that will explore the work of editing in its various facets.
The symposium will run over a couple of weeks in April 2021 and will have four components:
· Short position statements by leading scholars in the field that will be made available online for a limited period.
· A virtual roundtable discussion in response to the above statements.
· Practical workshops where we get to experiment with forms of editing.
· A publication, potentially a print edition of essays accompanied by a website.
Participation is free of charge. The position statements and roundtable are open to all; the workshops will have limited numbers to facilitate a more interactive experience.
Details about speakers and registration will follow in due course.
Organised by Mathelinda Nabugodi (Cambridge) and Christopher Ohge (IES, University of London).
