Meeting Description:

The Finnish Literature Society (SKS) and ITEM – Institut des textes &
manuscrits modernes will organise an international and interdisciplinary
conference GENESIS – HELSINKI 2017: Creative Processes and Archives in Arts
and Humanities in Helsinki, 7-9 June 2017.

Plenary speakers include: 

- Paolo D’Iorio (ITEM, Paris)
- Irène Fenoglio (ITEM)
- Daniel Ferrer (ITEM)
- Claire Doquet (Université Paris 3)
- Dirk Van Hulle (Centre for Manuscript Genetics, Antwerp)
- Ineke Huysman (Huygens ING, The Hague and Amsterdam)
- Wim Van Mierlo (Loughborough University).

GENESIS – Helsinki 2017 will be the first broad conference on Genetic
Criticism in the Nordic countries. Genetic Criticism (critique génétique) is a
discipline that explores writing processes and other creative work. Its
central research corpora comprise various archival sources from writer’s notes
to drafts, and manuscripts.

Genetic research can reveal, for instance, how a writer has outlined,
developed and revised a literary work regarding its structures, topics,
themes, symbols and style. Thus, genetic research can enrich interpretations
of literature. In addition to writing, genetic critics have been interested in
other creative processes such as cinema and architecture.

GENESIS – HELSINKI 2017 conference aims to gather scholars and students from
various disciplines interested in creative processes, such as Literary
Criticism, Linguistics, Didactics of Writing, Translation Studies, Musicology,
and Art History. One goal of the conference, is to acquaint Finnish teachers
and pedagogues with means by which the results of genetic research can be
applied in school teaching. Participating in the conference or submitting a
paper proposal does not require prior knowledge of the theoretical discussions
of Genetic Criticism. The working language of the conference will be English.

The conference is organised by the Finnish Literature Society – SKS
(www.finlit.fi) and ITEM (www.item.ens.fr) in cooperation with several
institutional partners: 

Cardiff University
Centre for Manuscript Genetics, Antwerp
Huygens ING, The Hague and Amsterdam
Jean Sibelius Works, Helsinki
Loughborough University
Université Paris 3
University of Helsinki
University of Turku.

Organising Committee: 

Hanna Karhu (University of Helsinki / Finnish Literature Society – SKS / ITEM)
Sakari Katajamäki (Finnish Literature Society – SKS / Edith – Critical
Editions of Finnish Literature)
Christophe Leblay (University of Turku / ITEM)
Veijo Pulkkinen (University of Helsinki)
Sakari Ylivuori (Jean Sibelius Works).

Call for Papers: 

Paper proposals can focus on a case study or discuss theoretical and
methodological issues in genetic scholarship. Submissions may focus (but
should not be limited to) the following topics in Arts and Humanities:

- Where does writers’ creative work begin and how does it proceed? 
- What kind of developments of genre, style, characters or thematics can be
studied from drafts and manuscripts?
- What kind of phases does a compositional process include? 
- How can genetic scholarship be applied in the Didactics of Writing? 
- How do mathematical formulas originate, or how architecture studios design
buildings? 
- In which ways do research publications and the reasoning behind them develop
through writing? 
- How can historical discourses and counter-discourses be illuminated by
studying such features that have been omitted from a published work, but can
be found from its preceding drafts and manuscripts?
- What kind of influences do material matters, such as writing techniques,
have on creative work and what kind of traces do they leave in archival
sources? 
- What kind of limitations does the incomplete or sporadic nature of archives
impose on genetic research? 
- What kind of new possibilities do digital resources create for genetic
scholars?

Speakers will have 20 minutes to deliver their paper, leaving room for a
10-minute discussion.

Please submit your proposal by email to the Organising Committee
(genesishelsinki2017 at gmail.com). Proposals should include 1) the title of the
paper, 2) an abstract (500 words maximum), 3) presenter’s name and concise
biography, 4) institutional affiliation, and 5) contact information (address,
email, telephone).

The deadline for paper proposals is 15 November 2016. You will be notified by
the end of January 2017 whether your proposal has been accepted or not.
