Science and\/or Poetry: Interdisciplinarity in Notebooks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What role do notebooks play in the shaping of literary and scientific history? How and why should difficult-to-decipher manuscripts be interpreted, particularly when their contents cross genres, disciplines, and time periods? What is the relationship between poetry and science in notebooks? This two-day conference hosted by Lancaster University\u2019s Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded Davy Notebooks Project<\/a> will question the nature of notebooks, considering how this complicated yet rich form constitutes both literary and scientific identities.<\/p>\n

The Davy Notebooks Project is an ongoing effort to create an online, free-to-access digital edition of chemist and poet Sir Humphry Davy\u2019s (1778-1829) surviving notebooks, which number around seventy-five in all. These manuscripts are especially interesting thanks to the wide range of genres they encompass, containing records of scientific experiments, poetry, geological observations, travel accounts, personal philosophy, and more. While Davy\u2019s notebooks provide a starting point for our shared investigations, we hope this conference will include a broad range of speakers on the use and meaning of notebooks.<\/p>\n

Paper topics may address but are not limited to:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Notebooks as a form or tool for thinking through experiments or works<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Cross genres in notebooks, including poetry and science<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Notebooks as a space for multiple and collaborative authorship<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Altered notebooks, taking in editing practices and posthumous intervention<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Difficult notebooks: grappling with sexism, racism, and colonialism<\/p>\n

The event is being funded by the AHRC and is limited to twenty places. Some bursaries will be available for Early Career Researchers and unfunded scholars; anyone not in full-time, permanent academic employment is welcome to apply for these. Please note your interest in a bursary in your proposal.<\/p>\n

Our call for papers is now closed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
