CFP: Digital Archiving at (dis)junctions 2007 (University of California Riverside’s 14th Annual Humanities Graduate Conference)
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).
For more information, please visit the website at

An Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference on The Archive of the Future/The Future of the Archive
An Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference on The Archive of the Future/The Future of the Archive
April 6-7, 2007
Rochester, NY
In his essay Valery Proust Museum, Adorno associates museums with death rationalized, pointing at how a modernized form forces a chronological order onto the objects. This imposition, as he describes it, is partially a function of the physical layout of the archival space. In the digital age, however, archives no longer need necessarily be housed physically, nor must they abide by
chronological schema. Our present question concerns the future of the archive and what the archive of the future might look like or accomplish. Does the digitization of the archive give us an opportunity to rethink the archival project in terms of how the archive, its access and selection, has effects on knowledge, authority, and subjectivities?
Addressing the archive as an abstract concept, a concrete object, and a practice, we would like to consider theoretical explorations as well as projects focusing on libraries, museums, collections, collectors, the technical difficulties of archiving, standards or difficulties of preservation, and other theoretical, technical, or topical investigations.
Topics of interest can include but are by no means limited to:
-Legality, authority, or dissemination of archives
-Structures of the digital environment or how interfaces affect the archival enterprise
-Digitization and dynamics of globalization, imperialism, local movements
-Distinctions between public and private spaces Anonymity, erotics of encounter, role playing, and new or temporary subjectivities formed in contributing to or observing digital archives
-Archived memory in life-writing (autobiography, letters, journals, blogs, etc.)
-Archives, access, and the aura94 of a work
-The role of manuscripts, illuminated or otherwise
-Preservation and transmission of oral or written histories and memory
-Literary variorum
-Questions of old canons, new canons, and the end of the canon
The conference will be held the weekend of April 6th and 7th at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY and will be hosted by the English Department and the Program in Visual and Cultural Studies, as well as being funded by the Humanities Project. There will be multiple keynote speakers. Previous conference proceedings have been published in (In)Visible Culture. We are seeking interdisciplinary work in various fields, given as 20 minute papers, artist presentations, or other scholarly/professional visual presentations.
Please submit 500 word abstracts, including 5-10 digital images if you are proposing an artist talk or visual presentation, to futureofthearchive@gmail.com by Monday, January 15, 2007.
