Workshops in Scholarly Annotation and Commentary

Workshops in Scholarly Annotation and Commentary
Third Workshop: "Annotating in the Digital Age"
15 April 2013: Room G26, Ground Floor Senate House
http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/study-training/research-training-summer-schools/scholarly-annotation-and-commentary

While the editing proper of texts – the establishment of a critically
emended, reliable and authoritative text on scholarly principles – has been
subject to much theoretical and methodological debate from the end of the
nineteenth century to the present, the principles and practice of
annotation and commentary have received little serious consideration.

This series seeks to refine methods and strategies for the creation of
commentary and annotation, the aim being to bring together scholars, users
and practitioners in the field to open the debate towards redefining
standards and disseminating “best practice”, and to explore innovative
approaches to annotation (e.g., crowd sourcing models for digital projects).

Each session features short presentations by three or four experts,
followed by questions and observations from the audience. They will debate
whether the digital medium alters the nature of annotation and commentary,
discuss whether annotations will remain the privileged domain of the
academic editor and scholar, and consider the different dynamic existing
between main text and annotation in digital editions.

2.00-2.40pm     Elena Anastasaki (Tübingen): “A Multi-Level Approach to
Annotating Literature in the Digital Era”

2.40-3.20pm     Rupert Gatti (Cambridge/Open Book Publishers): "Allowing
Reader Commentary and Dialogue within a Digital Textbook: A Case Study"

3.20-3.40pm     Coffee break

3.40-4.20pm     Lanval Monrouzeau (IRI, Centre Pompidou, Paris):
"Introduction to the Digital Studies Group and its Work on Indexation"

Ariane Mayer (IRI, Centre Pompidou, Paris): "The Impact of the Digital
Medium on Literary Annotation"

4.20-5.00pm     Edward Vanhoutte (Royal Academy of Dutch Language and
Literature, Ghent): “Whose Annotation Is It Anyway?”

The series is led and organized by Dr Iman Javadi of the Institute of
English Studies.  Workshops are free to attend and open to anyone with an
interest in the subject. To register, please email IESEvents at sas.ac.uk
