The Bibliographical Society of America (BSA)
2015 Fellowship Program Announcement
The Society invites applications for its seventh annual Katharine Pantzer Senior Fellowship in Bibliography and the British Book Trades as well as its annual short-term fellowships, all of which support bibliographical inquiry and research in the history of the book trades and in publishing history. Eligible topics may concentrate on books and documents in any field, but should focus on the book or manuscript (the physical object) as historical evidence. Such topics may include establishing a text or studying the history of book production, publication, distribution, collecting, or reading. Thanks to the generosity of donors, certain special fellowships support research in particular areas of study. Applicants should therefore read the fellowship titles and guidelines here to determine project eligibility and fit. Please note: these fellowships do not support enumerative bibliography (i.e. the preparation of lists). Individuals who have not received support in the previous five years will be given preference. All fellowships require a project report within one year of receipt of the award, and a copy of any subsequent publications resulting from the project, to be sent to the BSA.
Fellowships:
The Katharine Pantzer Senior Fellowship in Bibliography and the British Book Trades ($6,000) supports research in topics relating to book production and distribution in Britain during the hand-press period as well as studies of authorship, reading and collecting based on the examination of British books published in that period, with a special emphasis on descriptive bibliography.
The BSA-ASECS Fellowship for Bibliographical Studies in the Eighteenth Century ($3,000). Recipients must be a member of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies at the time of the award.
The Charles J. Tanenbaum Fellowship in Cartographical Bibliography ($3000) supports projects dealing with all aspects of the history, presentation, printing, design, distribution and reception of cartographical documents from Renaissance times to the present, with a special emphasis on eighteenth-century cartography. Funded by the Pine Tree Foundation of New York.
The BSA-Mercantile Library Fellowship in North American Bibliography ($2,000) supports scholarship in North American bibliography, including studies in the North American book trade, production and distribution of North American books, North American book illustration and design, North American collecting and connoisseurship and North American bibliographical history in general.
The Folter Fellowship in the History of Bibliography ($2,000) supports projects in the history and development of bibliography and/or the book trade before 1900.
The Katharine Pantzer Fellowship in the British Book Trades ($2,000) supports bibliographical inquiry as well as research in the history of the book trades and publishing history in Britain.
The McCorison Fellowship for the History and Bibliography of Printing in Canada and the United States ($2,000). Funded by a gift of Donald Oresman.
The Reese Fellowship for American Bibliography and the History of the Book in the Americas ($2,000). The fellowship may be awarded to any scholar, whether academic or independent, whose project explores the history of print culture in the Western Hemisphere.
BSA Short-term Fellowships ($2,000). The Society also offers a number of unnamed, short-term fellowships supporting bibliographical research as described above.
Application Guidelines:
Applications are due 15 December of each year. Applications should include the following components:
Application form
Project proposal of no more than 1000 words
Applicant curriculum vitae
Two signed letters of recommendation on official letterhead submitted independently by referees. Letters submitted electronically as a signed PDF via e-mail are preferable, although postal submissions will be accepted. We ask that recommenders use the subject line Recommendation for [Applicant Name], that is, Recommendation for Chris Smith.
Complete all application components (including an attached Project proposal and curriculum vitae), save them in a recent version of Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or PDF (preferable), and e-mail the full package to the chair of the Fellowship Committee at [email protected]. It is preferable to submit the application package as a single file with the subject line [Applicant Name]: BSA Fellowship, that is, Chris Smith: BSA Fellowship. This application package and two supporting letters of recommendation must be received by 15 December. We regret that we cannot consider late or incomplete applications. Applicants are advised to request recommendation letters well in advance and to direct referees to the BSA site ( http://www.bibsocamer.org/fellows.htm ) for guidance. NOTE: This year the Society has introduced an on-line application form as a simpler alternative to e-mail or postal submission: http://www.bsafellowships.org/bsa/application_form.php .

The IAFOR North American Conference on the Arts and Humanities 2014
18th to 21st September 2014 - Providence, RI, United States of America
Abstract Submission Deadline Extended: July 15, 2014
Enquiries: [email protected]
Web address: http://nacah.iafor.org
Sponsored by: IAFOR - The International Academic Forum
The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global university and institutional partners is proud to announce the First North American Conference on the Arts and Humanities.
Hear the latest research, publish before a global audience, present in a supportive environment, network, engage in new relationships, experience the US, explore Boston, New York and New England, join a global academic community...
Conference Theme 2014: Individual, Community and Society: Conflict, Resolution and Synergy
Conflict from earliest times has been a characteristic of the human condition. The struggle between our individual selves and our social selves arises from what makes us unique on the one hand, being challenged by our being part of an interdependent structure of relationships on the other. The specific blend of experiences, abilities, attitudes, and aspirations, that helps to define us, can sit sometimes uncomfortably alongside our commitments to those closest to us, our communities and our cultures.
This can lead to conflict at different levels. Conflict within communities and societies is inevitable given that these groups are based on commonality of geography, values, attitudes, and beliefs that help to differentiate one from another. The dialectic engendered by diversity, however, although it may lead to conflict, can play an important role in the expansion of ideas in communities and societies. One major challenge of modern society is to harness the synergy that emerges from the interactive dialectic generated by these differences.
The Arts and Humanities have long recognized these differences and frictions when they try to explain conflict through the systematic exploration of ideas, words, and artistic expression. By proposing such a wide-ranging 2014 conference theme, the organizers hope to encourage exciting new avenues of research, inspire the creation of new explanatory concepts, and provide a context for academic and personal encounters. The resultant exchanges it is hoped will stimulate synergies that cross national, religious, cultural and disciplinary divides. This is central to the global vision of IAFOR.
We look forward to seeing you at NACAH 2014!

CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear colleagues! 27–28 November 2014 the Laboratory of
Theoretical Folkloristics at SASH RANEPA will be hosting a
conference ‘Mechanisms of Cultural Memory: from Folk-lore
to Media-lore’
Cultural memory can be understood as transmission of socially
valuable messages (‘cultural texts’) and can be thought of as
information storage with in-built transmission mechanisms.
In the preliterate era (and also in the cultures that remain
illiterate), folklore tradition is the only vehicle for preserving
and transmitting some kind of ‘cultural information’, which
therefore cannot be fully separated from it. Semantic elements
(motifs, semes) of ‘texts of culture’ (verbal, actional, ‘reic’) are
preserved for long periods of time as if percolating through
changing languages, cultures and chronological periods . Oral
transmission is characterized by face-to-face communication
between the sender and the recipient, with no technical
intermediary between them. It is impossible in an oral culture
to transmit and preserve any message without periodically
reproducing it. Accordingly, texts of oral culture often contain
in themselves the rules for their memorization and performance.
The same also holds with some provisos for non-verbal texts
such as rituals, dances, etiquette rules, craft techniques, etc.
The emergence and spread of writing produced radically new
mechanisms for storing and transmitting ‘cultural knowledge’.
The emergence of technical intermediaries made it possible
to address a much wider circle of recipients decreasing the
importance of interactive aspects of communication. The
written text (reproducing an oral text or verbalizing a non-
verbal text) begins to play the role of often aims at substituting
oral memory. A written version of some piece of ‘cultural
knowledge’ (including the knowledge about the past) involves
entirely different ways of interaction with tradition bearers.
We live in the era of the third type of communication: ‘screen
based’, chronologically following the written type but having
more in common with the oral one with its immediacy and
interactivity. Technical intermediaries which provide new
opportunities for face-to-face communication become less
prominent. A wide circle of recipients amalgamates into the
image of the Other, who becomes the partner in the dialogue.
This is a paradoxical similarity since the technology for
information transmission and storing in the ‘screen age’ is
radically different from those of the oral era.
The upcoming conference will be focused on discussing
mechanisms of cultural memory in different ‘communication
eras’ in all their diversity and complexity.
We ask the prospective participants to fill the form at
http://goo.gl/J14IVG before September 1, 2014.
The organizing committee will make a decision on the inclusion
of the paper in the conference program before September 15,
2014. There may be a possibility of reimbursement of travel
expenses and free accommodation for the participants.
The papers will be published online before the beginning of the
conference. Therefore, we ask all the scholars whose papers
are accepted to submit them (up to 1000 words) to the organizing
committee till October 15, 2014.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to

Subversive Practices and Imagined Realities in Central,
Eastern and Southern Europe since 1945 (Norwich, UK, April
9-11, 2015)
Deadline: November 10, 2014
Session Convenors:
Amy Bryzgel, University of Aberdeen, [email protected]
Andrea Euringer-Bátorová, Academy of Fine Arts and Design,
Bratislava, Slovakia, [email protected]
AAH2015 41st Annual Conference & Bookfair Sainsbury Centre
for Art, UEA, Norwich, April 9-11, 2015
In communist Central, Eastern and Southern Europe, the building
of socialism had as its final endpoint a utopia that provided the
ultimate motivation: sacrifice now, reward later. In its sheer
impossibility, it was an elusive and illusory dream that formed the
foundation for everyday life under totalitarian regime. Within this
visionary world, artists such as Alexander Mlynarcik (Slovakia),
Marko Kovacic (Slovenia) or Mark Verlan (Moldova), created
their own parallel worlds, utopias, dystopias, and fantastic
domains. In many cases, alternative and nonofficial artists' works
served to carve out a unique space in the so-called "grey zone"
of Europe, which offered an alternative not only to state-
sponsored socialism, but also to Western capitalism, both of
which many artists and dissidents viewed with equal suspicion.
This panel will examine a range of artistic ideas, participative
strategies, subversive practices, networks and projects (imaginary
or real), which demonstrate an alternative sphere of thinking and
modes of creative living, and which possibly attempt to move
beyond the classical binary systems of West and East - all from
within an everyday world order that seemed to be set in stone.
We also invite papers that offer a more differentiated view, even
extending to the post-socialist period, aiming to re-evaluate the
nexus of aesthetics and politics and produce new interpretations
and analytical approaches regarding counterculture and censorship,
which explore the relational aspects of following binaries: official
and unofficial, political and apolitical, permitted and prohibited -
under totalitarian rule.
If you would like to offer a paper, please email BOTH session
convenors directly, providing an abstract of a proposed paper of
30 minutes. The deadline for abstracts is November 10, 2014.
Your paper abstract should be no more than 250 words, and
include your name and institution affiliation (if any). You should
receive an acknowledgement of receipt of your submission within
two weeks from the session convenors. Unfortunately no fee is
payable to speakers; all speakers must register and pay to attend
the conference.

The Bibliographical Society of America (BSA)
2015 Fellowship Program Announcement
The Society invites applications for its seventh annual Katharine Pantzer Senior Fellowship in Bibliography and the British Book Trades as well as its annual short-term fellowships, all of which support bibliographical inquiry and research in the history of the book trades and in publishing history. Eligible topics may concentrate on books and documents in any field, but should focus on the book or manuscript (the physical object) as historical evidence. Such topics may include establishing a text or studying the history of book production, publication, distribution, collecting, or reading. Thanks to the generosity of donors, certain special fellowships support research in particular areas of study. Applicants should therefore read the fellowship titles and guidelines here to determine project eligibility and fit. Please note: these fellowships do not support enumerative bibliography (i.e. the preparation of lists). Individuals who have not received support in the previous five years will be given preference. All fellowships require a project report within one year of receipt of the award, and a copy of any subsequent publications resulting from the project, to be sent to the BSA.
Fellowships:
The Katharine Pantzer Senior Fellowship in Bibliography and the British Book Trades ($6,000) supports research in topics relating to book production and distribution in Britain during the hand-press period as well as studies of authorship, reading and collecting based on the examination of British books published in that period, with a special emphasis on descriptive bibliography.
The BSA-ASECS Fellowship for Bibliographical Studies in the Eighteenth Century ($3,000). Recipients must be a member of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies at the time of the award.
The Charles J. Tanenbaum Fellowship in Cartographical Bibliography ($3000) supports projects dealing with all aspects of the history, presentation, printing, design, distribution and reception of cartographical documents from Renaissance times to the present, with a special emphasis on eighteenth-century cartography. Funded by the Pine Tree Foundation of New York.
The BSA-Mercantile Library Fellowship in North American Bibliography ($2,000) supports scholarship in North American bibliography, including studies in the North American book trade, production and distribution of North American books, North American book illustration and design, North American collecting and connoisseurship and North American bibliographical history in general.
The Folter Fellowship in the History of Bibliography ($2,000) supports projects in the history and development of bibliography and/or the book trade before 1900.
The Katharine Pantzer Fellowship in the British Book Trades ($2,000) supports bibliographical inquiry as well as research in the history of the book trades and publishing history in Britain.
The McCorison Fellowship for the History and Bibliography of Printing in Canada and the United States ($2,000). Funded by a gift of Donald Oresman.
The Reese Fellowship for American Bibliography and the History of the Book in the Americas ($2,000). The fellowship may be awarded to any scholar, whether academic or independent, whose project explores the history of print culture in the Western Hemisphere.
BSA Short-term Fellowships ($2,000). The Society also offers a number of unnamed, short-term fellowships supporting bibliographical research as described above.
Application Guidelines:
Applications are due 15 December of each year. Applications should include the following components:
Application form
Project proposal of no more than 1000 words
Applicant curriculum vitae
Two signed letters of recommendation on official letterhead submitted independently by referees. Letters submitted electronically as a signed PDF via e-mail are preferable, although postal submissions will be accepted. We ask that recommenders use the subject line Recommendation for [Applicant Name], that is, Recommendation for Chris Smith.
Complete all application components (including an attached Project proposal and curriculum vitae), save them in a recent version of Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or PDF (preferable), and e-mail the full package to the chair of the Fellowship Committee at [email protected]. It is preferable to submit the application package as a single file with the subject line [Applicant Name]: BSA Fellowship, that is, Chris Smith: BSA Fellowship. This application package and two supporting letters of recommendation must be received by 15 December. We regret that we cannot consider late or incomplete applications. Applicants are advised to request recommendation letters well in advance and to direct referees to the BSA site ( http://www.bibsocamer.org/fellows.htm ) for guidance. NOTE: This year the Society has introduced an on-line application form as a simpler alternative to e-mail or postal submission: http://www.bsafellowships.org/bsa/application_form.php . This page features fill-in fields for all the information contained in the traditional application form as well as buttons for electronically submitting curriculum vitae and Project Description files.

The IAFOR North American Conference on the Arts and Humanities 2014
18th to 21st September 2014 - Providence, RI, United States of America
Abstract Submission Deadline Extended: July 15, 2014
Enquiries: [email protected]
Web address: http://nacah.iafor.org
Sponsored by: IAFOR - The International Academic Forum
The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global university and institutional partners is proud to announce the First North American Conference on the Arts and Humanities.
Hear the latest research, publish before a global audience, present in a supportive environment, network, engage in new relationships, experience the US, explore Boston, New York and New England, join a global academic community...
Conference Theme 2014: Individual, Community and Society: Conflict, Resolution and Synergy
Conflict from earliest times has been a characteristic of the human condition. The struggle between our individual selves and our social selves arises from what makes us unique on the one hand, being challenged by our being part of an interdependent structure of relationships on the other. The specific blend of experiences, abilities, attitudes, and aspirations, that helps to define us, can sit sometimes uncomfortably alongside our commitments to those closest to us, our communities and our cultures.
This can lead to conflict at different levels. Conflict within communities and societies is inevitable given that these groups are based on commonality of geography, values, attitudes, and beliefs that help to differentiate one from another. The dialectic engendered by diversity, however, although it may lead to conflict, can play an important role in the expansion of ideas in communities and societies. One major challenge of modern society is to harness the synergy that emerges from the interactive dialectic generated by these differences.
The Arts and Humanities have long recognized these differences and frictions when they try to explain conflict through the systematic exploration of ideas, words, and artistic expression. By proposing such a wide-ranging 2014 conference theme, the organizers hope to encourage exciting new avenues of research, inspire the creation of new explanatory concepts, and provide a context for academic and personal encounters. The resultant exchanges it is hoped will stimulate synergies that cross national, religious, cultural and disciplinary divides. This is central to the global vision of IAFOR.
We look forward to seeing you at NACAH 2014!

Laboratory of Theoretical Folkloristics
CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear colleagues! 27–28 November 2014 the Laboratory of
Theoretical Folkloristics at SASH RANEPA will be hosting a
conference ‘Mechanisms of Cultural Memory: from Folk-lore
to Media-lore’
Cultural memory can be understood as transmission of socially
valuable messages (‘cultural texts’) and can be thought of as
information storage with in-built transmission mechanisms.
In the preliterate era (and also in the cultures that remain
illiterate), folklore tradition is the only vehicle for preserving
and transmitting some kind of ‘cultural information’, which
therefore cannot be fully separated from it. Semantic elements
(motifs, semes) of ‘texts of culture’ (verbal, actional, ‘reic’) are
preserved for long periods of time as if percolating through
changing languages, cultures and chronological periods . Oral
transmission is characterized by face-to-face communication
between the sender and the recipient, with no technical
intermediary between them. It is impossible in an oral culture
to transmit and preserve any message without periodically
reproducing it. Accordingly, texts of oral culture often contain
in themselves the rules for their memorization and performance.
The same also holds with some provisos for non-verbal texts
such as rituals, dances, etiquette rules, craft techniques, etc.
The emergence and spread of writing produced radically new
mechanisms for storing and transmitting ‘cultural knowledge’.
The emergence of technical intermediaries made it possible
to address a much wider circle of recipients decreasing the
importance of interactive aspects of communication. The
written text (reproducing an oral text or verbalizing a non-
verbal text) begins to play the role of often aims at substituting
oral memory. A written version of some piece of ‘cultural
knowledge’ (including the knowledge about the past) involves
entirely different ways of interaction with tradition bearers.
We live in the era of the third type of communication: ‘screen
based’, chronologically following the written type but having
more in common with the oral one with its immediacy and
interactivity. Technical intermediaries which provide new
opportunities for face-to-face communication become less
prominent. A wide circle of recipients amalgamates into the
image of the Other, who becomes the partner in the dialogue.
This is a paradoxical similarity since the technology for
information transmission and storing in the ‘screen age’ is
radically different from those of the oral era.
The upcoming conference will be focused on discussing
mechanisms of cultural memory in different ‘communication
eras’ in all their diversity and complexity.
We ask the prospective participants to fill the form at
http://goo.gl/J14IVG before September 1, 2014.
The organizing committee will make a decision on the inclusion
of the paper in the conference program before September 15,
2014. There may be a possibility of reimbursement of travel
expenses and free accommodation for the participants.
The papers will be published online before the beginning of the
conference. Therefore, we ask all the scholars whose papers
are accepted to submit them (up to 1000 words) to the organizing
committee till October 15, 2014.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to

Subversive Practices and Imagined Realities in Central,
Eastern and Southern Europe since 1945 (Norwich, UK, April
9-11, 2015)
Deadline: November 10, 2014
Session Convenors:
Amy Bryzgel, University of Aberdeen, [email protected]
Andrea Euringer-Bátorová, Academy of Fine Arts and Design,
Bratislava, Slovakia, [email protected]
AAH2015 41st Annual Conference & Bookfair Sainsbury Centre
for Art, UEA, Norwich, April 9-11, 2015
In communist Central, Eastern and Southern Europe, the building
of socialism had as its final endpoint a utopia that provided the
ultimate motivation: sacrifice now, reward later. In its sheer
impossibility, it was an elusive and illusory dream that formed the
foundation for everyday life under totalitarian regime. Within this
visionary world, artists such as Alexander Mlynarcik (Slovakia),
Marko Kovacic (Slovenia) or Mark Verlan (Moldova), created
their own parallel worlds, utopias, dystopias, and fantastic
domains. In many cases, alternative and nonofficial artists' works
served to carve out a unique space in the so-called "grey zone"
of Europe, which offered an alternative not only to state-
sponsored socialism, but also to Western capitalism, both of
which many artists and dissidents viewed with equal suspicion.
This panel will examine a range of artistic ideas, participative
strategies, subversive practices, networks and projects (imaginary
or real), which demonstrate an alternative sphere of thinking and
modes of creative living, and which possibly attempt to move
beyond the classical binary systems of West and East - all from
within an everyday world order that seemed to be set in stone.
We also invite papers that offer a more differentiated view, even
extending to the post-socialist period, aiming to re-evaluate the
nexus of aesthetics and politics and produce new interpretations
and analytical approaches regarding counterculture and censorship,
which explore the relational aspects of following binaries: official
and unofficial, political and apolitical, permitted and prohibited -
under totalitarian rule.
If you would like to offer a paper, please email BOTH session
convenors directly, providing an abstract of a proposed paper of
30 minutes. The deadline for abstracts is November 10, 2014.
Your paper abstract should be no more than 250 words, and
include your name and institution affiliation (if any). You should
receive an acknowledgement of receipt of your submission within
two weeks from the session convenors. Unfortunately no fee is
payable to speakers; all speakers must register and pay to attend
the conference.
