CFP: Reclamation and Representation, University of Exeter 2-3rd October 2010]

A reminder that the CFP deadline for Exeter's /Reclamation and
Representation/ Literary Archives conference is approaching--please
submit abstracts by *April 30th* to Lisa Stead (lrs204@ex.ac.uk
<mailto:lrs204@ex.ac.uk>) or Carrie Smith (crs202@ex.ac.uk
<mailto:crs202@ex.ac.uk>)

**
*Reclamation and representation: the boundaries of the literary archive*

*University** of Exeter**, 2-3rd October 2010*

       /"Even scholars who are able to globetrot from collection to
       collection end up relying heavily upon their inadequate
       memories, notes, photocopies, and photographs to compensate for
       the distances in time and space between collections. Seeing the
       original prints, paintings, manuscripts, and typographical works
       is good in itself; but seeing them in fine, trustworthy
       reproductions, in context and relation to one another is the
       scholarly ideal. Difficulty of access to original and reliance
       on inadequate reproductions has handicapped and distorted even
       the best efforts... the result has all too frequently been
       distortions of the record, misconstructions, and the waste of
       considerable scholarly labor."
       (Joseph Viscom 2002)/

*Confirmed Keynote speakers:*

*Prof. Helen Taylor (University of Exeter)*

*Dr Wim Van Mierlo (University of London)*

This two day event explores issues of reclamation and representation
within literary archive. The event seeks to foreground original archival
research into literary legacies and the processes of authorial
representation through research. Our main objective is to explore the
unique methodological challenges and questions that arise from archival
investigation, and how research working with the varied archival
materials can both reclaim and re-cast authorial personas and scholarly
interpretations of their work.

The event will include sessions that use some of the literary papers
held in the University of Exeter's Special Collections as a way of
highlighting issues in archival research.  Exeter's collections are
particularly rich in archival sources on writers of the South West
region—such as Ted Hughes, Daphne du Maurier, Agatha Christie, John
Betjeman, Henry Williamson, and TS Eliot—BUT we welcome papers exploring
questions which have wider application in archival research.

Proposals for individual papers of 20 minutes are invited. Possible
topics might include:

   * The challenges of recreating the draft in scholarly writing--
     re-representing an author's works from archival sources
   * The negotiation of biographical and textual difficulties and their
     impact upon how writers are known
   * Questions of authority surrounding pre-texts and printed texts,
     and the interface between them
   * The impact of 'anecdotal' archival material and evidence upon the
     shaping of literary histories
   * Reconstituting 'the canon' in the reclamation of lost authors
   * The location of newly discovered manuscripts within intertextual
     critical networks and literary histories-e.g. Issues of
     theoretical conflict between the decentring of the author and the
     recovering of writers within theories of race / gender /
     colonialism etc.
   * The search for authorial 'presence' in the archive in attempts to
     reconstruct biographical histories
   * The 'fetishism of the document' in archival studies
   * Archival silences
   * The details of archival acquisition and its impact upon authorial
     representation
   * Questions of copyright issues and their shaping of authorial
     scholarship and/or authorial representation
   * The impact of archival restrictions upon research and scholarship
   * The development of digital archives and their influence upon
     literary scholarship
   * Ownership of archives—what effect do issues such as archival
     location, / corporation funding have on the type of scholarship on
     particular literary figures and their representation?

We particularly invite papers on writers with connections to the South
West, although all contributions are welcome.

Please submit 200-300 word abstracts, including a short biographical
note, to Lisa Stead (lrs204@ex.ac.uk <mailto:lrs204@ex.ac.uk>) or Carrie
Smith      (crs202@ex.ac.uk <mailto:crs202@ex.ac.uk>). Deadline for
submissions: 30th April 2010. Further details can be found at:

fields of humanities, making historical
references and links, presenting social relations,
putting forward great ideas and dilemmas of the
mind, highlighting aspects of the human
personality and employing all existing art-forms

Performance practice can be examined from the
artistic point of view, but also from a cultural,
a sociological, a historical, a psychological, a
semiological, an anthropological, as well as from
an educational perspective. The term performance
practice refers to the interface within which the work of
the director, actor, movement director and
choreographer, scenographer (set and costume
designer), musical director, composer, lighting
designer and sound designer meet. It also includes
all aspects and issues involving the
theatrical process, from the initial concept to
the final realization.

- The notion of the visual metaphor
- Scenographer: The author of space?
- Design as theatrical action

- Scenographic materials, form, texture,
composition and light
- From design to realization - the process

for the conference, a full draft paper should be
submitted by Friday 24th September 2010.

300 word abstracts should be submitted to the
