New shape of sharing: networks, expertise, information
A forum on current issues in European librarianship
The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information continues conversations begun at the New Directions Symposium held in Frankfurt in 2017. This multi-day forum of panel presentations, a poster session, and interactive breakout sessions on key issues facing Western European collections and public services will encourage both structured and unstructured debate. We will advance our understanding of the challenges and initiate action in three areas: design new models for collaborative collection development and services; explore a growing range of content and format types and what they mean for libraries and researchers, and highlight the evolving role of libraries and librarians in the research process.

Open Information Science Review
Since its inception, the digital humanities has considered the question “what is it to be human in relation to machines in the digital age?” This issue of Open Information Science asks for papers that consider how we can understand “digital wellness” as part of the ongoing inquiry into what acts, representations, and understandings exist around human-ness in the digital era. Particularly, this volume seeks to explore the possibilities of digital wellness provided through a range of disciplines and forms. We invite papers which consider architectures, platforms, and diverse disciplinary engagements with the opportunities and challenges surrounding digital wellness.

Thus, to make research about open access more widely available, Open Information Science is inviting research, review, and position papers for inclusion in a special issue about Open Access to be published during open access week in October 2018. Especially of interest are papers considering existing models of Open Access (platinum, gold, green, fair) and the controversies surrounding each of them. Works about the development of the Open Access movement and the usage and acceptance of works published openly, are welcome as well. All the submissions will be reviewed by an international panel of experts in the field.

Methodologies, objectives, perspectives
In the last four decades, scholars have begun to go beyond the traditional perspective of linguistic and literary studies, and to consider the translations as cultural practices and the result of various processes of cultural and intellectual “negotiation” between two different contexts. In recent years also historians have progressively started to take a close interest in translations as sources to investigate the ways in which knowledge and ideas were constructed, disseminated, re-elaborated and assimilated in new cultural, social and political contexts. The aims of this international conference is to encourage an interdisciplinary dialogue on these problems, bringing together scholars, graduate students and early career researchers from Translation Studies, History, History of Book, History of Science, Literary Studies and related disciplines who are interested in discussing methodologies, objectives and perspectives in the study of translations.

Comparative analyses of nineteenth-century sketches
A new wave of scholarship has emerged in recent years, which examines nineteenth-century sketches (sometimes referred to as “panoramic literature”) from a transnational perspective. The present international conference seeks to continue this comparative reflection by placing the spotlight on the comparative analysis of texts and images of specific types and by tracing how these representations vary across sketches from different places, media and editorial contexts.

On Contemporary Writing in the Arabian Peninsula
Depuis la fin du XXe siècle, la production littérature de la Péninsule s’est affirmée sur la scène littéraire arabe comme un acteur incontournable du devenir de la littérature arabe, à la fois par ses écrivains, ses structures de légitimation et l’évolution du lectorat présent dans cette région. La contribution de certains pays comme l’Arabie saoudite et le Yémen est notable. Elle a parfois fait oublier l’activité littéraire d’autres pays de la Péninsule et les publications prévues porteront sur l'ensemble de la production des pays de la péninsule Arabique. -

Books in books : roles, representations, meanings
Fourth issue of the Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture journal
Ce numéro de Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture vise à examiner comment se déploient le livre et les métiers du livre dans les œuvres fictionnelles (poésie, roman, théâtre, chanson), toutes époques et tous corpus confondus. Les articles pourront relever de l’histoire du livre et de l’édition, de la sociologie du littéraire ou encore de la sociocritique, mais privilégieront un questionnement méthodologique ouvert. This issue of Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture sets out to study how the book and its related professions are portrayed in works of fiction (poetry, novels, drama, lyrics), in a melding of eras and corpuses. Articles may be based on the history of the book and book-publishing, the sociology of literature or even social criticism, but will privilege a methodologically liberal interrogation process. -

Archaeology and media: what is at stake ?
Ce colloque est l’occasion de faire le point sur les représentations de l’archéologue et de l’archéologie dans les médias. L’analyse de la presse écrite et audiovisuelle (radio, cinéma, documentaire) et de la littérature (roman, bande dessinée, etc.) seront autant d’axes pour comprendre la perception de l’archéologue dans notre société, dans les supports médiatiques en eux-mêmes ou auprès des publics qui reçoivent ces discours. Deux perspectives sont principalement envisagées : les fictions et les médias vulgarisateurs, même si des ponts peuvent évidemment être établis entre les deux. -

Les métamorphoses du texte. La maîtrise du discours mise à l'épreuve des médiations
Dans une société marquée par le développement des industries culturelles, la place de la littérature paraît de plus en plus contestée. Même si elles restent difficiles à appréhender, de nouvelles écritures sont en émergence et l’on assiste à une diversification des formes de médiation. Dans ce contexte, qu’advient-il de la maîtrise du discours ? A quelle(s) place(s) se trouve désormais affecté l’auteur ? Quelles logiques affectent le texte dans les passages qu’il subit d’un média à un autre ? Peut-on encore soutenir l’idée d’une maîtrise du discours dès lors que se multiplient les instances intervenant dans la production et les mutations des textes ? Il s’agit de s’interroger sur ces textes qui deviennent autre chose que des textes au sens où ce terme a pu être compris et défini jusqu’ici c’est-à-dire dans une culture qui a été celle du livre.
