CFP: SHARP 2005 -- Navigating Texts and Contexts (11/30/04; 07/14-17/05)
Call for Papers / Appel de communications - 2005 SHARP conference, Halifax,
Canada
** Version fran=E7aise ci-dessous **
The thirteenth annual conference of the Society for the History of=
Authorship,
Reading and Publishing (SHARP) will be held at Dalhousie University,=
Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada on 14th-17th July 2005. For details of the conference=
see
www.dal.ca/SHARP2005.
SHARP is the leading international scholarly association for historians of=
=20
print
culture, consisting of more than 1,200 book historians world-wide. Its focus=
is
on "the creation, dissemination, and reception of script and print,=
including
newspapers, periodicals and ephemera." Members work in a wide variety of
different disciplines both inside and outside the academy. The annual
conferences, which alternate between North America and Europe, are noted for
their stimulating discussions, vibrant keynote addresses, and memorable
activities.
The Halifax conference will be open to both individual papers, combined into
sessions by the program committee, and to complete sessions organized and
proposed by members. As is the SHARP custom, each paper will be twenty=
minutes
in length, followed by discussion, and each session will be one hour and a=
half
in duration.
Presenters must be members of SHARP (at least one author of each co-authored
paper proposal must be a member) or must join SHARP at the time of=
submission
of proposals. Further details about SHARP and membership can be found at:
www.sharpweb.org. Papers on any aspect of book history and print culture may=
be
proposed.
The conference theme "Navigating Texts and Contexts" suggests that=
examination
of the varieties of the relationship between texts and contexts would be
welcome. In addition, because Halifax is located at one point of what a
Canadian historian described as "The North Atlantic Triangle" (Britain,=
France
and North America), papers on aspects of the book trade in that region would=
be
appropriate
.
Paper and session proposals, in either English or French, should be=20
submitted by
30th November 2004. Proposals may be submitted online at the conference=
website
www.dal.ca/SHARP2005 (in the secure section for submission of paper/session
proposals), or by email to sharp2005_at_dal.ca, or by postal mail or fax to:
SHARP 2005 Conference
School of Library and Information Studies
Faculty of Management
Dalhousie University
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3H 3J5
fax: (902) 494-1503
Proposals received after 30th November 2004 will not be considered. Each
individual proposal should contain a title, an abstract of no more than 400
words, and brief biographical information about the author(s). Session
proposals should explain the theme and goals, as well as include the three
individual abstracts.
Audio-visual requirements should be requested when the proposal is=
submitted.
SHARP makes available a small number of travel grants to graduate students=
and
to independent scholars. If you wish to be considered for such a grant,=
please
state this when submitting your proposal, along with a rationale for the
request.
