<br>
NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN TEXTUAL CULTURE<br>
<br>
Department of English Studies, University of Stirling,<br>
UK<br>
<br>
Saturday 17th February 2007<br>
<br>
9.00 am – 5.30 pm<br>
<br>
Keynote speakers: Prof. Ron Scollon (Georgetown), Dr<br>
Peter D. McDonald (Oxford)<br>
<br>
Textual Culture is a cross-period, interdisciplinary<br>
field of enquiry focused on the production,<br>
circulation, and use of texts conceived in material,<br>
discursive, and economic terms. It brings together<br>
several strands of existing research interest,<br>
principally book history, publishing studies,<br>
discourse analysis, and reader/audience study. This<br>
one-day symposium, intended as an exploration of the<br>
continuing development of these research traditions<br>
and the relationship between them, follows the highly<br>
successful Textual Culture conference of 2005 and<br>
precedes the Autumn 2007 launch of the Master of<br>
Research (M.Res) degree in Textual Culture at the<br>
University of Stirling.<br>
<br>
Proposals (max. 200 words) are sought for<br>
twenty-minute plenary papers, as well as for three- to<br>
five-minute ‘position papers’ for a concluding panel<br>
and roundtable discussion. Proposals from postgraduate<br>
students are particularly encouraged.<br>
<br>
Twenty travel bursaries (of up to £100 each) will be<br>
available for suitable final-year undergraduate<br>
students and postgraduate students who are carrying<br>
out or intending to carry out research in the field of<br>
Textual Culture. Applicants for these bursaries should<br>
submit a brief statement (max. 500 words), outlining<br>
their specific areas of interest and their reasons for<br>
wishing to attend.<br>
<br>
Please address enquiries, proposals, and bursary<br>
applications to Daniel Allington, via email<br>
