XI INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORY OF WRITTEN CULTURE (XI CIHCE)
Scripta in itinere Discourses, Practices, and Appropriations of Public Writing, 16th-21th Centuries
University of Alcalá, 18th-20th June 2019
From 2004 on the Interdisciplinary Seminar for the Study of Written Culture (SIECE) and the LEA (Reading, Writing, Literacy) Research Group of the Arts Faculty of the University of Alcalá, which specialize in the study of the History of Writing and Reading, have carried out a wide range of scientific, educational, and extension activities which have brought together specialists from numerous countries and academic fields. Standing out among these activities are the International Conferences on the History of Written Culture, whose Eleventh Meeting will take place on June 18-20 2019 in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) under the title «Scripta in itinere: Discourses, Practices, and Appropriations of Public Writing, 16th-21th Centuries». This meeting will focus new attention on different forms of public writing, and in particular on the modes of production and preservation of such writing, as well as their authors and readers, during the early modern and modern periods as well as the present. The sixteenth century witnessed the early configuration of the public «graphosphere», that is, the system of communication that linked the various public spaces where writing was made visible through different graphic media (inscriptions, insults, graffiti, edicts, posters, advertisements, etc). Since then writing has «colonized» cities, in ways marked by different rhythms and characteristics. Thanks to the emergence of mass media, the exponential growth of literacy and consumer society, as well as diverse historical events (military, ritual, cultural, terrorist, etc) that changed the lives of millions of persons, «writing acts» within the public sphere became over time ever more popular, numerous, and diversified. The Eleventh International Conference on the History of Written Culture (XI CIHCE) will be devoted to exploring all these and other aspects in an effort to bring to bear new and original perspectives on existing studies.
