Annual Conference of the European Society of Textual Scholarship

Ecdótica

The conference theme is «Editorial degrees of intervention». Editing a text is a way of making it our own, of bringing it to our time and our cultural context regardless of the language and the time of production. This explains why each period needs their own editions. Probably, editors will not be neutral when facing the texts they are working on. Following the tradition of the ESTS, the conference welcomes a wide range of topics:

• Modernisation of texts
• Editor´s attitude towards the authorial text
• The notion of "bad" manuscripts
• Palaeographic editions
• Critical editions
• Paratexts and marginalia
• The author´s voice and the editor´s voice
• Digital versus printed editions
• The target audience
• Selection of texts worth editing
• Scholarly editions
