University College Cork
http://www.ucc.ie/en/mbsr; mbsr@ucc.ie

Conference Theme: Shaping Readers: Selection and Editing

Keynote Speakers:

Professor Alistair McCleery, Co-Director of SAPPHIRE, Professor of

History Reader

Following on from the success of last yearâ€™s conference, the Making
Books, Shaping Readers project at the Department of English, University
College Cork, invite submissions for twenty-minute papers on the theme
Shaping Readers: Selection and Editing. We encourage individual proposals
as well as suggestions for panels.

The conference will explore the ways in which editors, readers and
compilers shape the material we read. We encourage a broad
interepretation of the conference theme. We are interested in how various
editorial processes shape our reception of the text. Editorial processes
are not objective or neutral, and frequently happen without comment.
Papers might focus on, but are not limited to, some of the following:

â€¢ Textual â€˜corruptionâ€™
â€¢ Authorial intention
â€¢ Editing as interpretation
â€¢ The social text
â€¢ The role of the publisher
â€¢ Textual variants
â€¢ The reader as editor
â€¢ The role of technology
â€¢ Theories of selection and compilation
â€¢ What is an editor?
â€¢ The effect of selection and editing on materiality
â€¢ Anthologies, scholarly editions and canon formation

To coincide with the conference, the Making Books, Shaping Readers
project will co-host an exhibition with the Boole Library, UCC.

In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of the project, we invite
papers from scholars in all disciplines. Selected papers may be included
in a an edited volume. Accepted abstracts will be published on our
website prior to the conference. Abstracts (300-500 words) should be sent
to the organisers: Dr Graham Allen, Dr SiobhÃ¡n Collins, Dr Carrie
Griffin, and Mary Oâ€™ Connell at mbsr_at_ucc.ie by the extended deadline of
11th February 2008.
