Subject: CFP: Shakespeare and New Media
Dear colleagues,
Please circulate this call to those you know who may be working in this
area. Regards, -- Katherine
Call for papers: Special issue of Shakespeare Quarterly, "Shakespeare
and New Media," edited by Katherine Rowe, Bryn Mawr College
Shakespeare's works have provided launch content for new media
technologies since the seventeenth century, as Peter Donaldson has
observed. At the turn of the 21st century, we are experiencing
particularly rapid transformation of our basic tools for studying,
teaching, learning, reading, performing, editing, archiving, and
adapting Shakespeare. Shakespeare Quarterly invites submissions of
essays on the impact of media change, now, in all these arenas of
Shakespeare studies. Submissions that make innovative use of new media
publication modes, such as hyperlinks to the Folger Shakespeare
Library's digitized collections, are particularly welcome.
Some examples of possible approaches:
. formalist analysis of Shakespeare's works in new media formats (games,
mash-ups, hypertext editions);
. readings of specific works (virtual performances of Shakespeare
online; multimedia theater; "60-Second Shakespeare");
. theoretical engagements with the costs and benefits of remediation and
media convergence in the classroom, in performance, reading, archiving,
and/or research;
. accounts of the cultural values accruing to Shakespeare in new media,
of Shakespeare's changing (or timeless) "brand," Bardolatry and media
change.
Essays must be received by January 15, 2010. Please upload submissions
to Editorial Manager, Shakespeare Quarterly's online manuscript tracking
system, at www.edmgr.com/sq.
