*Society for Italian Studies in the UK and Ireland (SIS)* *Italian Studies at the Digital Turn. Practice, Methods, Interdisciplinarity * *University of Leeds, 23-24 June 2025* *[ITALIAN VERSION BELOW]* The last decade has witnessed a significant rise in the use of digital and computational methods across research, scholarship, and education, fundamentally reshaping the humanities and modern languages. The evolution of the Semantic Web, the widespread adoption of the smartphone, and the rise of social media have transformed our cultural and social lives. Recent advancements and the commercialisation of Generative Artificial Intelligence hold the potential to significantly change the ways in which we access and interact with digital environments, creating new possibilities and risks. The *2025 themed conference of the Society for Italian Studies in the UK and Ireland (SIS), Italian Studies at the Digital Turn. Practice, Methods, Interdisciplinarity,* held at the *University of Leeds, 23-24 June 2025*, will explore how the field of Italian Studies has responded to this ‘digital turn.’ We would like this event to be inclusive and to act as a bridge between those who have been engaging with the digital for a short or long time, those who study it, those who are considering using it, and those who want to learn more about the state of the art of digital use in the broad field of Italian Studies. Whether your research and your scholarly and teaching practices already employ digital methods and concern digital objects or you are “digitally curious”, we invite you to join us in a conversation at the *intersection between the Digital Humanities (DH) and Italian Studies*. We invite submissions that engage with *both theoretical and practical aspects *of the digital within Italian Studies, with the aim to: · Showcase past and ongoing projects in Digital Italian Studies · Bring to light and map out new ideas and approaches in Digital Italian Studies · Create a forum for discussing the affordances and challenges of these methods · Encourage broad conversations within the Italian Studies community to foster partnerships, networks, and collaborative projects that intersect with DH’s objects and methods *Areas of Interest* We welcome contributions that investigate current and future perspectives on how digital humanities enrich, shape and challenge Italian Studies, including but not limited to: · Research employing DH methods focusing on Italy across various periods, from the Middle Ages to the 21st century · Approaches to convergence culture · Reflection on the digital as a conceptual paradigm · The digital transmission and reception of cultural items · The impact of the ‘digital revolution’ in contemporary society and culture · The potential of digital methods to foster interdisciplinarity · The use of digital tools and resources in teaching and assessment, including opportunities and challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence · The use of digital methods for the dissemination and communication of research · The study of digital cultural items and platforms · The digital as an element used in literary, social and cultural storytelling *Italian Studies is intended here in its broader sense – from literature to history and the public humanities, film and media studies, linguistics and language acquisition (L1, L2, LS), translation, cultural studies, and visual arts*. We also welcome *comparative and transnational proposals* that situate Italian Studies within the wider landscape of Modern Languages and the Humanities. The keynote address will be delivered *by Elena Pierazzo, Professor of Digital Humanites at the University of Tours *– the author of *Digital Scholarly Editing: Theories, Models and Methods *(Routledge, 2020) and PI of the ERC project *PRIMA Manuscripts in the Age of Print <https://prima.hypotheses.org/>**.* In addition to *traditional conference sessions*, panels of papers, and roundtables, we envisage having *practical sessions* on digital methods in research, scholarship and teaching, and on their use in grant applications, for postgraduates and early-career researchers. We welcome proposals for: 1. *Individual papers* (15 minutes, to encourage discussion) 2. *Digital posters* showcasing DH resources and tools (e.g. interactive posters, project websites, apps and digital collections or archives), as part of a *digital fair* (this will be hosted in a room equipped with screens, where participants will be able to project and interactively display a digital tool/project they have developed). Proposals for other formats, such as *roundtables and panels organised by the proposer/s*, will be taken into consideration. Please, get in touch with the organisers to enquire and for further information. The conference will be held *in person,* and the languages are both *English and Italian*. *Submission Guidelines* *Please submit your abstracts (max. 300 words for individual contributions) along with a brief bio (max. 100 words) to **sis2025.digitalturn(a)gmail.com <sis2025.digitalturn(a)gmail.com>** by 10th January 2025 at 5pm UK time. *Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 10 February 2025.

CFP: ESTS 2025: Manuscripts in the Age of Print
by Elena Pierazzo 21 Nov '24

21 Nov '24

[with the usual apologies for cross-posting] Dear community, It's with great pleasure that I invite you to submit your proposals for the forthcoming 20th conference of the European Society of Textual Scholarship, which will be held in Tours 28-30 April 2025. Manuscripts in the Age of Print ======================== The invention and relatively rapid dissemination of print in 15th- and 16th-century Western Europe did not replace manuscript culture. Whether in the form of draft manuscripts, letters and journals, note-taking, margin annotations, manuscript dissemination to escape control, or documentary records, the two media—print and manuscript—continued to coexist, intertwining and influencing each other in complex ways across the globe. In various regions, from Europe to Asia, Africa, and the Americas, manuscripts remained central to intellectual, cultural, and religious practices, often complementing or resisting the spread of print. Although recent scholarship has addressed this dynamic in specific contexts, manuscript production is still rarely considered as a distinct phenomenon in the early modern and modern periods across different cultures. This oversight neglects the profound impact manuscripts had on intellectual and cultural life worldwide, where they served as vessels for innovation, subversion, and the preservation of alternative voices. Moreover, it overlooks the materiality of manuscripts, which developed in specific local and regional contexts, conveying unique physical characteristics that shaped both the form and content of the works themselves. The conference will explore these and other uses of manuscripts, welcoming contributions that address: • Manuscript production and circulation during the early modern and modern periods • Modern codicology and handwriting studies • Print-to-manuscript and manuscript-to-print transitions and their coexistence • Hybridization of the two media across different periods and regions • Digital representation and analysis of such documents, including Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) and quantitative codicology • Study and assembling of public and private archives and libraries • Scholarly editing of manuscripts and hybrid documents • Textuality of texts transmitted through manuscripts • Social networks and manuscript production (e.g., how social relationships, patronage, and collaboration among scribes, authors, and intellectuals influenced manuscript production and content) • Cross-cultural manuscript traditions (e.g., interactions between different manuscript practices and production centers, including trade, diplomacy, and scholarly exchanges across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and other regions) • Censorship and media circulation We also welcome contributions that examine the global persistence of manuscript culture alongside print in the early modern and modern periods, taking into account the diversity of manuscript traditions worldwide. This includes exploring how manuscripts remained essential for knowledge transmission, record-keeping, and resisting dominant discourses, even as print technologies became increasingly prevalent. Other topics such as the theory and practice of textual scholarship and digital textual scholarship will also be welcomed. Contributions to the ESTS Conference may take the following forms: Research Papers Individual scholars are welcome to submit proposals for papers which may then be selected for panels. 20 minutes in length. Please supply an abstract of 250 words (max) + bio of 100 words (max). Panel sessions We also invite groups of scholars (3 speakers) to submit proposals for thematically linked research paper panels. 90 minutes in length (3 x 20 minute papers + Q&A). Please supply 3 abstracts of 150 words (max) each + bios of 100 words (max) for each speaker. The organisers will give preference to panels that reflect the diversity of our field. Roundtable We also invite groups of scholars (up to 6 speakers) to submit proposals for thematically linked roundtable sessions. 90 minutes in length (10 mins per speaker + Q&A). Please supply an overall abstract of 350 words (250 words) for the roundtable + bios of 100 words (max) for each speaker. Poster sessions We will run a poster session as part of the main conference program. Topics of interest include all topics listed above. The poster session is an opportunity for researchers to discuss their early/ongoing work with attendees. Please provide an abstract of a maximum 250 words.
