Call for Contributions: Email Archiving Symposium

The Email Archives: Building Capacity and Community program is pleased to announce a Call for Contributions for the Email Archiving Symposium. The symposium will take place over the course of three days and online, from June 13 to June 15, 2023. 

Email archives are a valuable source of information and evidence. As more institutions grapple with challenges, and as others realize the full potential of email archives as a resource, age-old questions are being looked at anew.  The goal of the EA Symposium is to highlight the ways that now, more than ever, we can and must fully integrate email preservation and access into archival practice. Whether it’s libraries, archives, museums, government, or corporations, every institution that uses email needs a solution for managing and archiving it.

The symposium will explore the current state of email archiving and reflect on future opportunities for progress. We welcome contributions on all aspects of email archiving including:

  • Discovery and uses of email archives
  • Social and cultural value of email records and collections 
  • Email management and retention policies and practices
  • Technologies for managing email archives
  • Outstanding community needs and future developments
  • Email as a resource for research and scholarship

The deadline for submission is Friday, March 3, 2023.

CFP: Women and Museums A Focus Issue for the Journal Collections

CALL FOR PAPERS
Women and Museums
A Focus Issue for the journal Collections

Guest Edited by Dr. Holly Farrell, Postdoctoral researcher, Leiden University, Netherlands

Deadline: March 1, 2023

While not always as well-known as their male counterparts, women have been involved in
the development of museums since their conception. Whether as donors, collectors, or
employees, women have had important roles in the building up and display of collections in
museums throughout the world. As work is done to highlight the histories of museum
institutions and collecting practices, it is important to acknowledge the distinct position of
women in this area. The contribution of women to museums and collections is invariably
linked to issues of gender, along with class and race, making for a rich and nuanced area of
research. Developing from the Women and Museums Conference, Leiden University 2022,
this special issue will explore the varied ways in which women participated in such
institutions. The relationship between women, museums and collections historically is an
important site for understanding connections between people, institutions and objects.
We invite contributions from scholars and practitioners writing on topics related to the
following:
• Women’s collections
• Women as donators
• Women and museum work
• Private collections
• Imperialism and women collecting
• Folk museums and women
• Women’s photography collections
• Women travellers and collectors
• Women working in the shadow of men
We are particularly interested in articles which relate to gender, race, class intersections in
the lives of the women examined.
For this issue, we are seeking articles, essays, and case studies of 2,000-3,000 words (8-12
pages double spaced, plus notes and references). Authors should express their interest by
submitting a 300-word abstract and any relevant information (such as short bio or pertinent
URLs) to the guest editor, h.o.farrell@hum.leidenuniv.nl, and the journal editor,
jdgsh@rit.edu, by March 1, 2023. Notification of acceptance will be made by May 1, 2023,
with the deadline for submission of final papers of September 1, 2023 through the SAGE
online submission portal. Publication is anticipated for volume 19 or 20 an issue date of
2023/2024. For additional information or to receive samples of the journal, please contact
the journal editor, Juilee Decker, jdgsh@rit.edu.

CFP: Corporeal Conversations | Conversations Corporelles

CALL FOR PAPERS

CORPOREAL CONVERSATIONS | CONVERSATIONS CORPORELLES

March 10-11, 2023
Brown University | Providence, Rhode Island

Keynote Address:
DR. NORA MARTIN PETERSON
Associate Professor of French Cultural Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

“Je suis moi-même la matière de mon livre” announces Michel de Montaigne to the readers of his autobiographical Essais. While initially speaking to the reader, Montaigne would later become a reader himself, critically conversing with his own text in the margins of previous editions. This archive of edits underscores the materiality of a “body” of work as a site and subject of conversation between readers, authors, and critics alike. As a literary experiment in both style and voice, the Essais continue to shape and be shaped by conversations. In this tradition, Equinoxes 2023 seeks to provoke new dialogues around existing corpuses, to think about our relationship to creative works and the archive of criticism that comes with them.

Works of art call out to each other, engaging in conversations that span borders and epochs. From the circulation of written works within salon culture to the power of images to capture a movement, how might we understand our interactions with media and each other as conversations centered around and facilitated by bodies? Bodies continue to be a site of political struggle, from the policing of race, gender, and reproduction to the increasing awareness of our own environmental entanglements. What might we learn from listening to and/or reading bodies, in their various material representations? Papers may address the following topics: the construction of a corpus, the relationship between text and criticism, issues of voice, how bodies speak for themselves, the legibility of a body as racialized, gendered, and/or disabled, the afterlife of a work of art, the legacy of creative traditions, the construction of archives, and texts as living documents. Finally, how might our own interventions be understood as corporeal conversations in their own right?

As an interdisciplinary conference, Equinoxes encourages submission from a variety of fields, including but not limited to literature, philosophy, history, ethnography, anthropology, media studies, disability studies, sociology, art history, religious studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, and political science, provided that the presentation relate to French or Francophone studies.

We welcome papers related (but not limited) to the following topics:

● Bodies of work

● Theories of the corpus and canonicity

● Posthumous publishing

● Editorial processes

● Archive(s)

● Palimpsests

● Criticism of theory and praxis

● The works of Michel de Montaigne

● Autobiography / Autofiction / Autotheory

● Networks of communication and writing

● Written or recorded conversations

● Voices and the voiceless

● Survival, testimony and inheritance

● Death, mourning and remains

● Embodiment

● The sensing body

● Body and voice

● Body language

● Disability

● Gendered bodies / (Wo)man and the body

● Corporeal Feminism

● Women’s writing / écriture féminine

● Rhetoric and Speech Acts

● Worldbuilding / Worlds from words

Graduate students who wish to participate in the conference should submit an abstract of no more than 250 words, along with a short bio. Abstracts must be sent, as attachments, to equinoxes-conference@brown.edu before January 15, 2023. Emails should include the author’s name, institutional affiliation, and contact information. Presentations, whether in English or in French, should not exceed 20 minutes.

Conférencière principale :
DR. NORA MARTIN PETERSON
Maître de conférences en Études Culturelles Françaises à l’Université du Nebraska-Lincoln

“Je suis moi-même la matière de mon livre” annonce Michel de Montaigne dans son ouvrage autobiographique, les Essais. S’il s’adresse tout d’abord à son lecteur, Montaigne en deviendra un lui-même par la suite, conversant de manière critique avec son propre texte dans les marges de ses éditions antérieures. Ces archives d’apports et d’ajouts soulignent la matérialité d’un “corps” relatif à l’œuvre en tant que site et sujet de conversation pour lecteurs, auteurs et critiques. En tant qu’expérience littéraire, tant au niveau du style que de la voix, les Essais continuent de façonner et d’être façonnés par les conversations qui s’y rapportent. C’est dans l’esprit de cette tradition qu’Équinoxes 2023 cherche à initier de nouveaux dialogues autour de ces corp(u)s existants et inviter à la réflexion vis-à-vis de notre rapport aux œuvres créatives de même qu’aux archives de la critique qui les accompagnent.

Les œuvres d’art s’interpellent entre elles, invitant des conversations qui dépassent les frontières et transcendent les époques. De la circulation d’œuvres écrites dans le contexte de salons littéraires au pouvoir qu’ont les images de capturer un mouvement, comment comprendre nos interactions avec nous-même, les autres et les médias sous formes de conversations qui soient à la fois centrées sur le(s) corp(s) et facilitées par ce(s) dernier(s) ? Les corps continuent d’être le théâtre de luttes politiques, qu’il s’agisse de régulations autoritaires encadrant les questions de race, de genre et de reproduction, ou bien la prise de conscience accrue de nos enchevêtrements environnementaux. Que pouvons-nous apprendre en écoutant et/ou en lisant des corps, dans le cadre de leurs diverses représentations matérielles ?

Nous encourageons les communications à traiter des sujets suivants : la construction d’un corpus, la relation entre texte et critique, les questions de voix, les corps qui parlent pour et par eux-mêmes, la lisibilité d’un corps racisé, sexué et/ou handicapé, la postérité d’œuvres d’art, l’héritage de traditions créatives, la construction d’archives, et les textes en tant que documents vivants. Enfin, comment comprendre nos propres interventions en tant que conversations corporelles à part entière ?

S’inscrivant dans des contextes français ou francophones, les propositions de communication peuvent, sans forcément s’y limiter, appartenir aux domaines d’études suivants : la littérature, la philosophie, l’histoire, l’ethnographie, l’anthropologie, les études de médias, les études sur les questions liées au handicap, la sociologie, l’histoire de l’art, les études religieuses, les études de genre et de théories queer et féministes, et les sciences politiques.

Nous accueillons les propositions de communication liées, sans y être strictement limitées, aux thèmes suivants :

● Le(s) Corps de texte(s)

● Les théories de corpus et de canons

● Publications posthumes

● Processus éditoriaux

● Archive(s)

● Palimpsestes

● Critique de la théorie et de la praxis

● Les oeuvres de Michel de Montaigne

● Autobiographie / Autofiction / Autothéorie

● Les réseaux de communications et d’écritures

● Conversations écrites ou enregistrées

● La voix et les sans-voix

● Survie(s), témoignage(s) et héritage(s)

● La mort, le deuil et les dépouilles

● Incarnations

● Le corps sensible

● Le corps et la voix

● Le langage corporel

● Le handicap

● Les corps genrés

● Féminisme corporel et qui prend corps

● Écriture des femmes et écriture féminine

● Rhétorique et actes de paroles

● Les mondes fait de mots

Tout.e doctorant.e souhaitant participer à la conférence est invité.e à envoyer un résumé de 250 mots maximum accompagnés d’une brève notice bio-bibliographique en pièce jointe à equinoxes-conference@brown.edu avant le 15 janvier 2023. Chaque proposition de candidature doit inclure : le nom de l’auteur.e, l’affiliation institutionnelle, et une adresse email.

New Issue: American Archivist

In the digital-only issue of American Archivist 85.2, two international perspectives share steps taken toward disaster preparedness in Germany’s cultural archives, and lessons learned from a data recovery project at the National Archives of Australia; Heather Soyka discusses the effectiveness of the Archives Leadership Institute’s career building opportunities; and Alston Brake Cobourn, Jen Corrinne Brown, Edward Warga, and Lisa Louis show how metaliteracy and transliteracy projects are doable at underserved institutions.

Other articles examine the current state of archival education, user experience and reference staffing in archives, and the personal archiving habits of modern soldiers. In addition, contributors review several books that consider social and cultural movements and the fate of historical archives.

On the cover: German archivists participate in a training course on disaster and emergency response at the Augsburg City Archive in 2016. Guided by a conservator, small groups practiced the handling, packaging, and transport of damaged materials. In his article, “’Together We Are Strong’: Emergency Associations for the Protection of Germany’s Cultural Heritage,” Rainer Jedlitschka discusses the creation and development of several emergency associations in Germany that have collaborated to offer mutual support in the event of natural and humanmade disasters. Read more about the role and success of the new networks and German archivists’ new experience and preparedness. Photo courtesy of Kerstin Lengger, Augsburg City Archive.

Deadline extended – CFP – Conference “Transatlantic Women’s Networks: Cultural Engagements from the 19th Century to the Present”

Deadline: January 31, 2023

Transatlantic Women’s Networks:
Cultural Engagements from the 19th Century to the Present
11th – 12th May, 2023
Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Lisbon, Portugal

 CFP

The conference Transatlantic Women’s Networks: Cultural Engagement from the 19th Century to the Present aims to provide a space to unearth, discuss, map, and (re)situate networks and circuits of intellectual and cultural exchange among women across the Atlantic from the 19th century to the present. The conference will take place at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 11th and 12th of May, 2023.


Traditionally, representations of sociopolitical, cultural, and artistic engagements have been dominated by male figures and national frameworks. However, from politics and gender to literary and cultural criticism, the role of women’s networks in shaping societies, literatures, and convivial relations across national borders has started to be resituated within these more traditional narratives both in and out of Academia. Particularly in the context of transcultural formations across the Atlantic, the role of movements and exchanges has become a central concern. Societies and cultural expressions have not only been deeply shaped by slavery and the slave trade, but also by less violent forms of migration, and productive dialogue. Women have played an important role here as well and made significant contributions to the cultural and social spheres. Arts, literature, translation, and criticism, in particular, have proved significant historical vehicles for women to foster convivial and transnational circuits of conversation and exchange, as well as intellectual, cultural and political rapprochement between countries and traditions.


The conference invites discussion on the potential of transatlantic women’s networks both historically and in the present moment. We want to honor subaltern, off-circuit, overlooked , and often-unrecognized contributions to cultural and social analysis that have the potential to reimagine, understand, and (re)situate the strategic position women have played in matters of gender, politics, and transnational affairs. How have women used conviviality and networking for sociopolitical, cultural, and artistic engagements across the Atlantic? What is the role of transatlantic networks for grassroots activism and alternative forms of resistance and circulation? How have historically transcontinental connections and exchanges between feminist thinkers impinged on current perspectives on gender, ethnicity, race, and class? What has brought women together as builders of communities and creators of knowledge? How do these transatlantic networks illuminate different geographic, temporal, cultural, and spiritual experiences? And what is the political impact of the host of vibrant, emerging peripherical actresses (indigenous, homosexual women, transgender etc.) in contemporary transatlantic networks, on and offline?


We welcome contributions from the fields of Cultural, Literary, Translation, Gender, Feminist, Archival and Memory Studies that focus on the works women have authored, published, directed, or have taken part in (novels, films, arts, correspondence), including non-alternative vehicles of transatlantic dialogue (newspapers and literary supplements, manuscripts, marginalia, journals, and postcards). These undiscovered, forgotten and often-times neglected vehicles have arguably functioned as incubators of experimentation in translation and artistic practice, cultural and literary criticism, and other forms of networking through which networks of conviviality with and among women across the Atlantic came into being.


Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:


● Transatlantic conviviality and correspondence among women
● Memory, women, and imaginative transatlantic networks of exchange
● Archives, migration, and gender across the Atlantic
● Feminisms, women and the black Atlantic
● Race and gender from a transatlantic perspective
● Transatlantic activism, women’s agency, and survival
● Feminist-feminine writing across in the Atlantic
● Diasporic and immigrant women writing across the Atlantic
● Women translators, women in translation, translated women across the Atlantic
● Luso-Brazilian women revisited
● Indigenous, native, and spiritual feminisms across the Atlantic
● Women and transatlantic grassroots and institutional activism
● Sisterhood, female circles, and collaboration across the Atlantic
● Online activist female spaces across the Atlantic

AERI will be held from June 19 through 23, 2023 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on the LSU campus.

We invite proposals for contributions that fit within AERI’s goals. These could include short papers (15 minutes), panels (1.5 hours, with 3 or more speakers), pedagogical, curricular, methodological, and technological workshops (half day or full day), posters, works in progress, or lighting talks (students only). Proposals should include an abstract of between 300 and 500 words, plus a short biographical note about the presenter(s). For panels or group activities, each participant should submit a proposal with the same title and abstract. Since this is a working institute, all participants, with the exception of students who are about to commence their studies, are expected to contribute in some way to the working meeting. This might be in a variety of roles including, but not limited to presenters, instructors, mentors, chairs, and AERI initiative leaders.

AERI 2023 will accept a limited number of virtual presentations in order to create participation options for those who cannot attend the Institute in person. Due to the significant labor and costs involved in offering a fully hybrid conference, virtual options will be limited to those who can present synchronously. AERI 2023 will provide live and recorded access to all plenaries and one track of presentations per day.
