CFP for the 2011 SHARP conference

The CFP for the annual conference of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading & Publishing has been announced here.

The theme, Science & Art, may be of interest to many of us beyond our work in periodicals (e.g. Joyce and the new Physics), but there’s also a suggested theme on the book as a work of art. A panel or paper on periodicals that were meant to be æsthetic objects in their own right (e.g., Camera WorkRhythmThe Little ReviewDYN) might be interesting and eminently reasonable. Sadly, I’m scheduled to be elsewhere this week in July, but I waned to get this out to anyone who might be interested.
