The Textual Spaces event, Thresholds: fragment, text and paratext,will take place on May 12 - 13 2023.
This strand has a strong medieval and early modern focus on the notion of space as it emerges in manuscript, text, paratext and fragment and the transformative insights – and new archives - they create. Particular attention will be paid to the work of women writers and patrons, in an ongoing effort to recuperate lost voices, and to examine the interplay between gender and text.
Guest speakers:
Prof. Margaret Connolly (St Andrews)
Dr Carrie Griffin (University of Limerick)
Dr James Sargan (University of Limerick)
Dr Hannah Ryley (University of Oxford)
Prof Lise Michel (Université de Lausanne)
Dr Dominique Jeannerod (Queen's University Belfast)
Dr Serena Laiena (University College Dublin)
This will be followed by ECR workshops on Saturday, focusing on manuscripts and digital humanities, and will include a demonstration and training by Dr Janée Allsman (UCD) in Marsh's Library on the EU-funded AI tool Transkribus ((opens in a new window)https://readcoop.
