CALL FOR PAPERS

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN TEXTUAL CULTURE

Department of English Studies, University of Stirling,
UK

Saturday 17th February 2007

9.00 am – 5.30 pm

Keynote speakers: Prof. Ron Scollon (Georgetown), Dr
Peter D. McDonald (Oxford)

Textual Culture is a cross-period, interdisciplinary
field of enquiry focused on the production,
circulation, and use of texts conceived in material,
discursive, and economic terms. It brings together
several strands of existing research interest,
principally book history, publishing studies,
discourse analysis, and reader/audience study. This
one-day symposium, intended as an exploration of the
continuing development of these research traditions
and the relationship between them, follows the highly
successful Textual Culture conference of 2005 and
precedes the Autumn 2007 launch of the Master of
Research (M.Res) degree in Textual Culture at the
University of Stirling.

Proposals (max. 200 words) are sought for
twenty-minute plenary papers, as well as for three- to
five-minute ‘position papers’ for a concluding panel
and roundtable discussion. Proposals from postgraduate
students are particularly encouraged.

Twenty travel bursaries (of up to £100 each) will be
available for suitable final-year undergraduate
students and postgraduate students who are carrying
out or intending to carry out research in the field of
Textual Culture. Applicants for these bursaries should
submit a brief statement (max. 500 words), outlining
their specific areas of interest and their reasons for
wishing to attend.

Please address enquiries, proposals, and bursary
applications to Daniel Allington, via email
(da6_at_stir.ac.uk) or at the following address:
