This is a call for papers for a joint ACCUTE and COCH/COSH session at the
2002 Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities. This year the congress
will be held at The University of Toronto and Ryerson Polytechnic
University from May 25-28th 2002.

Shakespeare and Information Technology
This session will explore the ways in which Shakespeare connects with
various forms of information technology. A number of scholarly pursuits,
including book and print histories, performance and film studies, and
multimedia/digitization projects are currently examining the ways in which
Shakespeare's plays and poetry migrate across various media. How have these
forms of media influenced or been influenced by the bard? What role has
this technology played in the creation and maintenance of Shakespeare's
place in our culture? The panel hopes to highlight the role that
information technology has played in the transmission of Shakespeare's work
and what that work has to offer our changing information landscape.
Possible topics might include:
* Digitizing Shakespeare
* Shakespeare on the World Wide Web
* Renaissance printing practices
* Performing Shakespeare
* The Early Modern book trade
* Pop Goes the Bard - Shakespeare and Pop Culture
* Virtual Shakespeare
* Shakespeare and multimedia teaching practices
* Filmic Shakespeare
* Shakespearean portraiture
As per ACCUTE and COCH/COSH guidelines:

of argument, the principle texts the paper will speak to, and the relation

should also be included.
