Upcoming seminars
The 2022 ATTR Summer Seminar will explore the critical and interpretative significance of collections, archives, and libraries and provide multidisciplinary perspectives on the institutional, spatial, cognitive and gendered aspects of ensembles of texts.
Authenticity is an important category for scholarship on past and present manuscripts and texts, and is also the theme for our fall seminar in 2022. How does different types of authenticity spill over into each other in academic interpretations of text and in the reception of such interpretations?
