CFP: Digital Archiving at (dis)junctions 2007 (University of California Riverside’s 14th Annual Humanities Graduate Conference)

This call for papers is for a proposed panel to be held at (dis)junctions 2007: Malappropriation Nation at the University of California Riverside’s 14th Annual Humanities Graduate Conference on April 6-7, 2007.

Contributors are invited to submit critical works on digital archiving. These papers can examine the roles new media and new technologies play in the archiving of literary texts. How does the translation of a text from print culture into the digital realm effect its reading and reception? How does it allow for a re-imagining of the text? How does digital archiving create a new mode of access to texts? What are the tensions around the creation of such archives?

Abstracts of 250-300 words should be e-mailed to helen.lovejoy@sbcglobal.net by January 5, 2007 (text in the body of the message; please no attachments).
