The Research Group on Manuscript Evidence, in keeping with the MMLA conference\u2019s theme of \u201cDuality, Doubles, and Doppelg\u00e4ngers\u201d<\/strong> for the 2019 Convention in Chicago, is sponsoring panels on duality in manuscripts broadly conceived.<\/p>\n

Information about the conference appears on the MMLA website: MMLA Convention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For our panels, possible senses of duality include, strictly by way of example, textual variants, recensions, and copies.\u00a0 It also includes more figurative senses of duality, like the dialectic between text and marginal glosses.<\/p>\n

We invite all approaches \u2014 including hermeneutical, textual, art historical, codicological, and paleographical \u2014 as well as all time periods. Despite the RGME\u2019s traditional medieval focus, which has expanded, not least through these panels at the MMLA, we declare that all proposals considering the material evidence contained in handwritten documents are warmly welcomed.<\/p>\n

Interested panelists should send brief abstracts of no more than 300 words to<\/p>\n

jhastings@luc.edu<\/a> by Monday, 01 April 2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Thanks to the expert initiatives by our Associate Justin Hastings, this will be the 4th year that the Research Group sponsors Permanent Panels at the Annual Convention of the Midwest Modern Language Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is a special pleasure that our panels at the 2019 Convention form part of our anniversary celebrations.\u00a0 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of our nonprofit educational corporation based in Princeton, New Jersey, and the 30th anniversary of our international scholarly society founded at the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.<\/p>\n
