TEXTUAL TRAILS - TRANSMISSIONS OF ORAL AND WRITTEN TEXTS

11th Conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship

Helsinki, 30 October - 1 November 2014

 

Texts tend to travel across space and time, carried by sound waves, written on
parchments and codices, sealed in envelopes and travel trunks, and streaming as
bits in the internet. They pass from mouth to mouth, from singers' performances
to scholars' notes, from stone engravings to printed books, or from writing
desks to digital editions.

Sometimes it is possible to trace the trail of a text or a fragment via several
phases of transmission. These trails can be, for instance, a part of the genesis
of one writing or an editorial history of one literary work, or they can run
through a historical text tradition of scribal texts.

The eleventh conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship, TEXTUAL
TRAILS. Transmissions of Oral and Written Texts (Helsinki, 30 October - 1
November 2014), seeks to explore all kinds of textual trails from various angles
of scholarly editing and textual scholarship. The present call for papers
encourages submissions on related topics, such as:

1. Stemmatology in theory and practice

2. Chains of changes in edition history

3. Textual continuums in genetic editing

4. Digital editing and visualisation of textual trails

5. Metamorphoses of bibliographic codes

6. Evolving ideas and textual growth

7. Variance and invariance in the transmission of oral and written texts

8. Spatio-temporal text mining.
