Kedves Listaolvasók!
Csak érdekességképpen továbbítom egy külföldi levelezőlistáról egy kétnapos könyvtörténeti konferencia szervezőjének felhívását könyvek (könyvtárak, kéziratok, szövegek) vándorlásáról országok, kultúrák, társadalmi csoportok vagy média között, akár antikvár könyvkereskedőkön keresztül, akár más módokon.
Példának még olyan széles témakörök is szerepelnek -- ha jól veszem ki --, mint hibrid könyvek létrehozása és használata, egymástól távoli közösségek könyveken keresztül megvalósuló kommunikációja, kompilálás, változtatás, ízlés, megszokás, állandóság, emlékezet, tulajdonlás, szerzeményi eredet, hátrányos helyzet és könyvhasználat stb.
Tervezett előadás maximum 300 szavas előzetes kivonatával és legfeljebb 100 szavas önéletrajzi bemutatkozással április 30-ig lehet próbálkozni az alul megadott e-mail címen.
Üdvözlettel:

Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to share the attached call for papers (also pasted
below) for a forthcoming virtual book history conference. We hope you
will consider submitting or sharing with others as appropriate. As you
will see, formal papers, research-in-progress, and non-traditional
work are all welcome, and the deadline for first consideration is 30
April.

MIGRATIONS OF THE BOOK
A Virtual Book History Conference
Sponsored by Texas A&M University Libraries
21-22 October 2021
What happens to a text when it is transported from its native Spain to
the colonial frontiers of Mexico? How is our consideration of a
Science Fiction pulp magazine augmented when its fantastical contents
become commonplace in our daily lives? What can book conservators
teach us about how a book has been influenced by the tastes and biases
of its prior readers? What role do material texts play in the lives of
the displaced or dispossessed?
The book is a critical concept as resilient as it is amorphous, as
fixed as it is fluid. It operates as a place of memory, where
communication, intellectual advancement, and cultural contact may be
reposed and retrieved. As often, however, books are characterized by
their movement and circulation, as well as their ability to be
reconstructed and reconsidered in different contexts to create new
meaning.
Migrations of the Book will bring together academics, librarians,
archivists, and antiquarian booksellers to investigate how books act
both as vehicles for, and monuments of cultural exchange, and to
consider what we may learn from this persistent tension between
constancy and mutability that is so integral to the medium.
Topics may include, but need not be limited to:
The migration of texts (across media, between cultures, among social
strata, etc.).
Studies in provenance and ownership.
The migration of libraries through the rare book trade.
Manuscript circulation and commonplacing.
The formation and use of hybrid books.
Cross-cultural reception studies.
Communities that are brought together through the book.
This will be a virtual event composed of several thematically
organized panels spread over two days. Participants are encouraged
(but not required) to consider how they might make use of the digital
medium to enhance their presentation. Formal papers,
research-in-progress, and non-traditional scholarly work are all
welcome. Please send abstract proposals (300 words max.) and a brief
bio (100 words max., including pronouns) to Kevin M. O'Sullivan
(kmosullivan@tamu.edu) by 30 April 2021 for first consideration.
