Inaugural workshop hösten 2020: 20 november

Workshopen hålls online via zoom. Inbjuden gästföreläsare: Ray Siemens: Social Editing in Context(s) / Editing in Social Context(s)

Premised on the notion that editors have always carried out their work with awareness of the many contexts in which it is situated and the many potential areas in which it might see good utility, my talk explores elements of the computationally-‘social’ dimension of editorial work – in particular how digital textual scholarship by its nature gestures interdisciplinarily, by necessity encouraging explicit consideration of its products’ engagement within and beyond any single discipline or institution of origin, as much as it encourages movement toward an open, socially-situated scholarship that both values such work and adds value to it.  Discussion will include reference to A Social Edition of the Devonshire MS (BL Add MS 17492) and work of the INKE Partnership for Open Social Scholarship.
