Conferences
The CTSDH has in recent years hosted the Chicago Colloquium's Digital Humanities and Computer Science conference (2011, 2018) and the International Society for Textual Studies conference (2013). Every year it helps to organize and co-sponsors, with the Martin J. Svaglic Chair in Textual Studies, two day conferences on a range of topics in textual studies and digital humanities. The CTSDH also sponsors or co-sponsor regular lectures and presentations by distinguished scholars working in the areas of textual studies or digital humanities.
Join us at the 2022 Society for Textual Scholarship (STS) Conference with the theme: Cultural Mapping hosted at Loyola University Chicago, May 26-28.
The 2022 STS conference—the first in-person conference since 2019—will take place May 26-28, 2022 at Loyola University Chicago, with the conference theme “Cultural Mappings.” Following, and we hope furthering, the work of “reckonings” begun in the 2021 meeting — the critical analysis of the past, reflection on the present, and speculation about the future of textual scholarship as we transit through a period of multi-dimensional, global upheaval — we seek to explore the multivalent ways mapping as a mode of inquiry and a methodological tool in the field of textual scholarship makes visible the meanings of cultural heritage and contributes to our affective experience of emplacement. The work of cultural mapping is capacious and allied with deep mapping, community mapping, ecological mapping, counter-mapping, qualitative GIS, and emotional mapping. What does it mean to dwell? How are texts and other works also cartographs that give us access to the sedimented strata of our experiences in a lifeworld flourishing with multiple voices, present contingencies, contested pasts, and imagined futures?
Advance registration is open through May 6. Please go to this page to begin the registration process. You can access general conference information here. A copy of the program is available here.
Editions and Manuscripts of Middle English Poetry
October 12, 2019, 9:30-5:00, Loyola University Chicago, Lake Shore Campus , Information Commons 4th Floor
This day conference features five lectures on late medieval English poems and the manuscripts and editions that transmit them. Papers will explore the editorial work of medieval scribes, the responsibilities of modern editors, and the contributions of multimedia digital technologies (text, image, and voice) to editorial endeavors today. Speakers will share lessons and questions that emerge from their experience editing the works and studying the manuscripts of Geoffrey Chaucer, William Langland, and other poets of fourteenth-century England. The day concludes in a workshop on designs for a new hybrid online and print edition of Langland’s Piers Plowman for classroom use and launch of David Lawton’s new Norton Chaucer.

Adaptation is almost coterminous with literature, indeed with all of human creativity. Almost every work of art can be seen as adapted from something else: from another work of art in the same or a different genre or medium, from mythology, history, biography, current events, scientific research, nature. The list of possible and potential sources is as endless as the ways of adapting and the forms of adaptation. Cave painters adapted scenes from hunts, the Greeks adapted myths, Shakespeare adapted stories and historical chronicles, and innumerable authors have adapted the Greeks and Shakespeare. In the mid-twentieth century when scholars embarked on the academic study of adaptation, they began with dramatization: that is, with the remediation of literary works into the contemporary dramatic medium of film. Today, adaptation studies cover intra- and intergeneric as well as intermedial adaptations in film, fiction, drama, poetry, and digital media.
Schedule:
Verna Foster, ‘Why Adapt? The Cultural Work of Dramatic Adaptation’
After surveying some of the cruxes in adaptation theory, including the relationship between text and performance in dramatic adaptation, this paper focuses on the cultural work performed by intrageneric dramatic adaptations with special reference to Mabou Mines Dollhouse, contemporary Medea plays, and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’s An Octoroon.
Verna A. Foster is Professor of English at Loyola University Chicago. Her publications include The Name and Nature of Tragicomedy (2004), the edited collection Dramatic Revisions of Myths, Fairy Tales and Legends: Essays on Recent Plays (2012), and numerous articles including ‘Meta-melodrama: Branden Jacobs-Jenkins Appropriates Dion Boucicault’s The Octoroon’ in Modern Drama (Fall 2016).
Paul Eggert, ‘Textual Criticism and the Curious Art of Adaptation: The Ned Kelly Story’
Replication and revision is a definition of Adaptation study. Textual criticism is the study of versions. Must these related pursuits continue to proceed in ignorance of one another? The paper addresses this question squarely, based on a case study of the versions and adaptations of the Ned Kelly outlaw-bushranger story-type.
Paul Eggert is an editorial theorist, scholarly editor and book historian. He serves as the Martin J. Svaglic Endowed Chair in Textual Studies, Loyola University Chicago. His principal arguments are brought together in Securing the Past (2009) and Biography of a Book (2013).
Thomas Leitch, ‘Screening (Out) the American Short Story’
Although Hollywood has looked since its earliest days to novels and plays for properties that could be profitably adapted to the cinema, it has rarely drawn its source material from the American short story, despite the genre’s prominent status in American literature. This presentation investigates the reasons why.
Thomas Leitch, Professor of English at the University of Delaware, is the author, most recently, of Wikipedia U: Knowledge, Authority, and Liberal Education in the Digital Age and editor of The Oxford Handbook of Adaptation Studies. He is currently working on The History of American Literature on Film.
Siobhan O’Flynn, ‘Media Fluid and Media Fluent: Adaptation as Experience Design’
In the digital world, multi- and trans-media elements, situations, and contexts deliberately invite audience participation in experiences allowing entry into the ‘storyworld,’ to co-create and extend content. Originating in the field of Human Computer Interaction, and now central to game design, marketing, and top-tier branded transmedia productions, experience design recognizes its media-fluent audience (i.e. people) as a medium.
Siobhan O’Flynn, a digital humanist, has extensive experience working in and consulting on interactive storytelling, digital media, and experience design. She is currently working on a monograph for Routledge, to be called Mapping Digital Narrativity: Design, Practice, Theory, which examines the impact of digital media on storytelling by recontextualizing Aristotle’s theory of tragedy and catharsis as a form of experience design.
INSTANT HISTORY:
THE POSTWAR DIGITAL HUMANITIES AND THEIR LEGACIES
Instant History Conference Poster

Conveners: Steve Jones, University of South Florida and Paul Eggert, English Department
Sponsors: the Hank Center, the CTSDH, and the Svaglic Chair for Textual Studies
In 1949, Jesuit scholar, Father Roberto Busa began to collaborate with IBM to build a massive lemmatized concordance to the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. By the mid 1950s he had established in Milan the first humanities computing center, which both IBM and Father Busa referred to as a Center for Literary Data Processing. This turn toward thinking of texts as data--or as potential sources of data--to be processed using computers and algorithmic, quantitative methods, has its legacy in many of today's digital humanities and electronic textuality, from the creation of electronic editions to so-called distant reading and quantitative analyses and visualizations of very large corpora of texts.
This conference represents several aspects of this legacy of Father Busa’s mid-century humanities computing, including the history of natural language processing and digital text processing, systems of textual markup and the creation of digital scholarly editions, topic modeling and large-corpora analysis. The CTSDH is honored to welcome such esteemed speakers as Steven Jones, Geoffrey Rockwell, Laura Mandell and Ted Underwood to this conference. Presentations will be followed by a roundtable and general discussion.
