*New Technologies and Renaissance Studies*
Special Sessions at the 2004 Meeting of the Renaissance Society of America
Thursday and Friday, April 1-2, 2004
Grand Hyatt Hotel (42nd Street), New York, NY
For the fourth consecutive year, the RSA program will feature a number of
sessions that document innovative ways in which computing technology is
being incorporated into the scholarly activity of our community. This
year's contributions follow this interest across several key projects
(among them the Internet Shakespeare Editions, the Rulers of Venice,
WorldArts, and the EEBO Text Creation Partnership), through a number of
thematic touchstones (scholarly editing, document encoding,
computer-assisted analysis, and access), and in several emerging areas of
inquiry (active reading, teaching with DVD technology, and beyond). This
year's sessions are outlined below.
*******
We invite you to join us and, also, to be in touch with the organisers
(before April 30, 2004) if you are interested in being involved in similar
sessions at the RSA 2005 meeting, April 7-9 in Cambridge, UK.
