<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Kedves Kollégák!<br><br> A levéltári, kézirattári, könyvtári, különgyűjteményi területeket egyaránt érintheti ez (- keletebbre talán még inkább -). Nagyban összefügg még a szövegkiadással, digitalizálássa (az alábbi leírás alapján). <br>Lehet jelentkezni témavázlattal!<br><br> Tulajdonképpen ezen a tájon is tanácskozásokat érdemes szervezni a könyvtári és levéltári kutatás, hozzáférés és feldolgozás nehézségeiről, áthághatatlan(nak tűnő) problémáiról, megválaszolhatatlan (ám komolyan veendő) referenszkérdéseiről.<br>Üdvözlettel:<br>NpL<br><div>> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- <br>> From: Brooke Palmieri <bspalmieri@gmail.com><br>> Date: 2014-05-19 8:53 GMT+02:00<br>> Subject: ["EXLIBRIS-L"] Call for Papers: Failure in the Archives<br>> To: exlibris-l <exlibris-l@list.indiana.edu> <br>> <br>> FAILURE IN THE ARCHIVES<br>> <br>> http://failureinthearchives.wordpress.com<br>> <br>> 30 October 2014<br>> <br>> Call for Papers<br>> <br>> The Centre for Editing Lives and Letters<br>> (http://livesandletters.ac.uk) is pleased to announce 'Failure in the<br>> Archives', a conference celebrating the frustrations of archival<br>> research, to be held on30 October 2014 at University College London<br>> and featuring a keynote address by Natalie Zemon Davis.<br>> <br>> 'Failure in the Archives' will provide a forum to examine everything<br>> that doesn't belong in traditional conferences and publications, from<br>> dead-end research trips to unanswered questions.<br>> <br>> How do we respond to the resistance, or worse, the silences and gaps,<br>> that we find in the archives? Scholarship tends toward success<br>> stories, but this conference seeks presentations from a range of<br>> disasters that arise when navigating the depths of the archive:<br>> damaged, destroyed, mislabelled, misrepresented materials, forgeries,<br>> exaggerated significance, and gaps in the historical record. Overall,<br>> the experience of failure in the archive is truly interdisciplinary,<br>> skewing the warp and woof of close reading and big data alike, not to<br>> mention posing everyday problems for archivists and librarians working<br>> on the frontlines to make their collections accessible<br>> <br>> We welcome proposals on any aspect of early modern archival work,<br>> manuscript or print, covering the period 1500-1750. Topics may<br>> include, but are not limited to:<br>> <br>> Materials which challenge cataloguing standards<br>> Uncatalogued material - how to find it, how to access it, how to use it<br>> Inaccurate cataloguing - tensions between past and present.<br>> Broken or dispersed collections<br>> Damaged, destroyed, or compromised collections<br>> The ethics of maintaining archives<br>> The ethics of archival research - especially when working with<br>> sensitive material<br>> Absences and silences in the archive<br>> Difficulties conserving and preserving materials<br>> Conflicts of information between archival sources<br>> Digitisation and its discontents<br>> Agents in the archives: collectors, archivists, researchers<br>> <br>> Conference structure and submission guidelines<br>> <br>> In order to encourage a high level of participation among all<br>> conference attendees this conference will experiment with the format<br>> of the traditional academic conference.<br>> <br>> There will be a morning of 'lightning round' 10 minute papers designed<br>> to stimulate discussion as well as more traditional panels of 3<br>> twenty-minute papers in the afternoon. Panel chairs and respondents<br>> will be as valuable to our discussions as presenters - please do get<br>> in touch if you would like to volunteer for these positions.<br>> <br>> Conference attendees will also vote on the final session of the<br>> conference collectively: all attendees will have the opportunity to<br>> submit 'pitches' until the afternoon of the conference.<br>> <br>> A 'pitch' follows the format of a Call for Papers: it includes a<br>> theme, a brief overview of guiding questions, methods, and problems<br>> that arise when considering the theme, proposing possibilities for<br>> driving conversation forward. Pitches will be available on the<br>> conference website, and after reading them through during the lunch<br>> break of the conference, attendees will vote for the session in which<br>> they would most like to participate.<br>> <br>> With an aim to include as many participants as possible, 'Failure in<br>> the Archives' welcomes proposals for two types of presentations, which<br>> will be peer-reviewed.<br>> <br>> 200 word abstracts for 10 minute 'Lightning Round' panels.<br>> 400 word abstracts for 20 minute presentations, which will be<br>> pre-circulated to panel chairs and respondents.<br>> <br>> A small fund for travel bursaries will be available for postgraduate<br>> students - please indicate in your application if you would like to be<br>> considered for this.<br>> <br>> All questions, feedback, and proposals are due to<br>> FailureInTheArchives@gmail.com no later than 31 July 2014.<br>> <br>> For more information: http://failureinthearchives.wordpress.com<br></div> </div></body>
