Description<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/br><\/p>\n

This online symposium brings together researchers and practitioners who work on the material culture of the book and publishing. The aim is neither to uncritically champion the capacities of digital media, nor to fetishize the printed form. Our concern, rather, is with the interplay and mutation of form, medium, metaphor, and content across printed and digital mediums \u2013 between<\/em> the codex and the net. The symposium will explore a number of themes:<\/div>\n

<\/br><\/p>\n

\u2022 Diagrammatic writing<\/div>\n
\u2022 Biopolitics of the book<\/div>\n
\u2022 The book as resistance<\/div>\n
\u2022 Materiality of the infinite text<\/div>\n
\u2022 Textual materialism<\/div>\n
\u2022 Deliberation in digital reading<\/div>\n
\u2022 The politics of independent publishing<\/div>\n

<\/br><\/p>\n

Organised around six short papers and an online conversation among practitioners of independent publishing, the conference is open to comment and discussion from online readers. In keeping with its theme, Materialities of Text is a hybrid of symposium, online discussion forum, and writing workshop for a special issue of the journal New Formations<\/em>.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The journal <\/em>issue\u00a0<\/em>will contain some additional articles; we invite interested parties to contact us to discuss ideas or propose papers <s.mays@westminster.ac.uk<\/a>> and <N.Thoburn@manchester.ac.uk<\/a>><\/div>\n
