Marco Manuscript Workshop 2020
\n\u201cThe Ends of Manuscripts\u201d
\nJanuary 31-February 1, 2020
\nMarco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
\nThe University of Tennessee, Knoxville\n

The fifteenth annual Marco Manuscript Workshop will take place Friday,
\nJanuary 31, and Saturday, February 1, 2020, at the University of
\nTennessee, Knoxville. The workshop is organized by Professors Maura K.
\nLafferty (Classics) and Roy M. Liuzza (English), and is hosted by the
\nMarco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.<\/p>\n

For this year\u2019s workshop, as a tribute to the 2020 McClung Museum
\nexhibition \u201cVisions of the End 1000-1600\u201d (opening January 23), we
\npropose the theme \u201cThe Ends of Manuscripts.\u201d We encourage everyone to
\ntake this theme in the broadest possible sense; we invite submissions
\nthat consider the \u201cends\u201d of manuscripts \u2013 whether their physical
\nboundaries (colophons and explicits, incomplete texts, extrapolated
\ntexts, lost or added leaves, booklets and bindings), their purposes
\n(texts written for particular patrons or communities, texts written
\nfor devotional or polemical ends, texts written as responses to other
\ntexts, texts prepared for or directed at someone or something), their
\nfates (where texts have ended up, in libraries or private collections,
\nin bindings or trash bins, framed on walls or preserved in digital
\nrepositories), or their early coexistence with and gradual replacement
\nby printed books. Like detectives at a crime scene, we often must work
\nbackward from the \u201cends\u201d of a manuscript to its life and origins; in
\nthese origins there may even lie some intimations of the manuscript\u2019s
\nfuture demise. We welcome presentations on any aspect of this topic,
\nbroadly imagined.<\/p>\n

The workshop is open to scholars and graduate students in any field
\nwho are engaged in textual editing, manuscript studies, or epigraphy.
\nIndividual 75-minute sessions will be devoted to each project;
\nparticipants will be asked to introduce their text and its context,
\ndiscuss their approach to working with their material, and exchange
\nideas and information with other participants. As in previous years,
\nthe workshop is intended to be more like a class than a conference;
\nparticipants are encouraged to share new discoveries and unfinished
\nwork, to discuss both their successes and frustrations, to offer both
\npractical advice and theoretical insights, and to work together
\ntowards developing better professional skills for textual and
\ncodicological work. We particularly invite the presentation of works
\nin progress, unusual manuscript problems, practical difficulties, and
\nnew or experimental models for studying or representing manuscript
\ntexts. Presenters will receive a $500 honorarium for their
\nparticipation.<\/p>\n

The deadline for applications is November 2, 2019. Applicants are\u00a0asked to submit a current CV and a two-page letter describing their\u00a0project to Roy M. Liuzza, preferably via email to\u00a0rliuzza@utk.edu<\/a>\u00a0or by mail to the Department of English, University of Tennessee, 301 McClung Tower, Knoxville, TN 37996-0430.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The workshop is also open at no cost to scholars and students who do\u00a0not wish to present their own work but are interested in sharing a\u00a0lively weekend of discussion and ideas about manuscript studies.
\nFurther details will be available later in the year; please contact\u00a0Roy Liuzza or the Marco Institute at
\nmarco@utk.edu<\/a>\u00a0for more information. See also\u00a0https:\/\/marco.utk.edu\/ms-works<\/wbr>hop\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
