Call for Papers and Workshops:
The Past, Present, and Future of the Book

The explosion of new digital book technologies – smart phones, tablets, print-to-order self-publishing sites, and so forth – has paradoxically energized more traditional studies of the book. The academic field tends to be divided into Book History (English and History), Book Arts (Art and English), Digital Books (Computer Science, Business, Sociology), and Cognition and Reading (Psychology, Education, Library Studies): each of these areas of interest is brimming with new scholarship as well as public interest.
In practice, the subfields overlap, and exciting things are happening at the intersections. To foreground these intersections and explore the pedagogical potential of Book Studies and Book Art, we invite paper and poster presentations, round-table discussions, and book-art workshops from scholars, artists, and librarians interested in the past, present, and future of the book. Proposals by collaborative student-faculty teams or by faculty from different disciplines are especially welcome.

Show some suggested presentation and round-table topics

Show some possibilities for workshops

All sessions will be 90 minutes in length; paper sessions in particular will include three twenty minute papers and a discussion period.
Abstracts are not to exceed 400 words. Paper and round-table proposals must specify special equipment needs. Workshop proposals must clearly identify facilities and materials needed; they must also include an estimate of supply costs per participant.
All proposals must be submitted through the website by September 30, 2011. A preliminary program will be announced in mid October, when registration will open. If you have any questions about appropriateness of materials and proposals, please contact us (mmouton@cornellcollege.edu).
Registration is free for ACM faculty, staff, and students. Lodging, meals, and materials for participants will be covered by a grant. Travel subsidies are available for ACM participants. For participants not affiliated with the ACM, the registration fee of $60 will cover meals and all materials.
