Abstract
This seminar will discuss how the material aspects of literary texts reflect and
potentially even determine their cultural status. Following the
industrialization of printing, for example, the distinctions between so-called
“highbrow” and “lowbrow” books often had little to do with their content, as
they also served as markers of socioeconomic status, like clothing or home
décor, and the concept of literary taste thus became more closely related to
fashion sense than critical judgment. The seminar will support this claim by
examining how the tensions between popularity and prestige reflect fundamental
historical changes with regard to the development of technology, literacy, and
social power, and it will focus on several case studies that demonstrate how the
cultural status of literary texts can be understood as an inherent consequence
of their material form, which often changes the value of texts that are
otherwise experienced as more or less prestigious.
Speakers
Anthony Enns is Associate Professor of Contemporary Culture in the Department of
English at Dalhousie University in Canada, and Bernhard Metz is co-leader of
a Swiss National Science Foundation project at the Institute for the History of
Medicine at the University of Bern in Switzerland. Together they have edited a
special issue of the journal "Belphegor: Popular Literature and Media Culture"
titled Distinctions that Matter: Popular Literature and Material Culture, as
well as the anthology Consumerism and Prestige: The Materiality of Literature in
the Modern Age, which was developed from a conference held at the Free
University of Berlin and is currently forthcoming from Anthem Press.
The event is organised by Bembus (https://bembus.org/), promoted by the
Department of Humanities of Ca' Foscari University of Venice
(https://unive.it/dsu) and the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities
(https://unive.it/vedph), financed with funds for student activities of Ca'
Foscari University of Venice (https://unive.it/).

Subject: Online workshop - AI and Cultural Heritage - 28 March
Dear all,
The Institute of Advanced Studies at Loughborough University is hosting an
online workshop on “AI and Cultural Heritage” on Monday 28 March, as part of the
AI annual theme.
The event is organised by myself, Rachael Grew and Amalia Sabiescu, alongside
the IAS team.
Speakers include Ryan Cordell (the author of the Library of Congress report on
Machine Learning applied to the library sector) and Oonagh Murphy (who has led
the Museums + AI network). Victoria Lemieux (UBC Vancouver) will present a paper
entitled “When Public Data Shouldn’t be Public.” And I will present the new
EyCon project (Visual AI and Early Conflict Photography) with Julien Schuh and
Daniel Foliard.
Here is the link to register:
