Call for Papers: APPOSITIONS: Studies in Renaissance / Early Modern Literature and Culture seeks new work addressing the theme of digital archives. How and why does electronic access to archival materials reconfigure the teaching and study of literary texts, related cultural documents, and methodologies for disciplinary or interdisciplinary research and interpretation? What are the benefits and/or limitations of such new media? What are the politics of the digital archive, or of electronic special collections? What is the significance of the original work—or of authorship, or scholarship—in the electronic age? How and why does the digitization of archival documents either celebrate or challenge the status of manuscripts, pamphlets, printed books, and the literary canon? Within that capacious scope, a variety of topics will be engaged.
