New Developments in Textual Culture
A one-day symposium hosted by the Department of English, University of Stirling, UK
17 February, 2007

Textual Culture is a cross-period, interdisciplinary feld of enquiry focused on the production, circulation, and use of texts conceived in material, discursive, and economic terms. It brings together several strands of existing research interest, principally book history, publishing studies, discourse analysis, and reader/audience study. This one-day symposium, intended as an exploration of the continuing development of these research traditions and the relationship between them, follows the highly successful Textual Culture conference of 2005 and precedes the Autumn 2007 launch of the Master of Research (M.Res) degree in Textual Culture at the University of Stirling.

Proposals (max. 200 words) are sought for twenty-minute plenary papers, as well as for three- to five-minute ‘position papers’ for a concluding panel and roundtable discussion. Proposals from postgraduate students are particularly encouraged.
