CFP - Holbo’s seminar at the ALSC annual conference
Posted by John Holbo on 08/23/07 at 10:08 PM
The ALSC annual conference will take place at the Hotel Allegro in Chicago, October 12-14. James Wood will be the keynote speaker. And I am convening a seminar on e-publishing/intertubes stuff. Unfortunately, I’ve just had one contributor drop out, due to a last-minute conflict. I’m posting this again, in the hopes of rounding up just a few more participants. It’s a good format. Round-table discussion. Short (2-4 page) papers. Good talk.
Seminar: The Internet, Publishing, and the Future of Literature
Convener: John Holbo (National University of Singapore)
What role will the Internet play in publishing, scholarly research, cultural journalism, and literary commentary in general? Do bloggers have a role to play in cultural and literary discussion comparable to their developing importance in political reporting and argument? How will e-publishing affect scholarship, university presses, promotion and tenure? What will become of the book? How has it already affected the publication of monographs, journals, and scholarly editions? To what extent has it made literature and critical discussion more available? Has it advanced or undermined fundamental skills in reading and writing? Has it begun to affect how literary writers actually write? This seminar concerns itself with what is to come and, for seminar purposes, participants are encouraged to adopt attitudes that range from cautiously optimistic to wildly utopian, although intelligent Cassandras may apply. Participants should send proposals or abstracts for 2-4 page papers to Professor John Holbo, Singapore University, Singapore. (jholbo-at-mac-dot-com)
