Subject: C/C - ACCUTE CFP: Shakespeare and Information Technology
This is a call for papers for a joint ACCUTE and COCH/COSH session at the
2002 Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities. This year the congress
will be held at The University of Toronto and Ryerson Polytechnic
University from May 25-28th 2002.
Note: Selected papers from this session will be published in a special
edition of College Literature.
The deadline for conference paper proposals has been extended to December
15, 2001.
Shakespeare and Information Technology
This session will explore the ways in which Shakespeare connects with
various forms of information technology. A number of scholarly pursuits,
including book and print histories, performance and film studies, and
multimedia/digitization projects are currently examining the ways in which
Shakespeare's plays and poetry migrate across various media. How have these
forms of media influenced or been influenced by the bard? What role has
this technology played in the creation and maintenance of Shakespeare's
place in our culture? The panel hopes to highlight the role that
information technology has played in the transmission of Shakespeare's work
and what that work has to offer our changing information landscape.
Possible topics might include:
Digitizing Shakespeare
Shakespeare on the World Wide Web
Renaissance printing practices
Performing Shakespeare
The Early Modern book trade
Pop Goes the Bard - Shakespeare and Pop Culture
Virtual Shakespeare
Shakespeare and multimedia teaching practices
Filmic Shakespeare
Shakespearean portraiture
As per ACCUTE and COCH/COSH guidelines:
Proposals should be 300-500 words in length, and should clearly indicate
the originality of scholarly significance of the proposed paper, the line
of argument, the principle texts the paper will speak to, and the relation
of the paper to existing scholarship on the topic. A list of works cited
should also be included.
Completed conference papers should fulfill these criteria, and should be no
longer than 12 double-spaced pages.
Please send three copies of papers and/or proposals, accompanied by three
