Women Writers Project seeking collaborators for Intertextual Networks
grant
The Women Writers Project at Northeastern University is seeking
collaborators for Intertextual Networks, a three-year, $290,000 project,
funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (http://www.neh.gov/)
and focusing on intertextuality in early womenšs writing. Starting in
October 2016, the WWP will begin work on this collaborative research
initiative that will examine the citation and quotation practices of the
authors represented in Women Writers Online (WWO) to explore and theorize
the representation of intertextuality.
For this project, the WWP will assemble a team that includes faculty,
graduate students, and members of the WWP staff, representing a diverse
set of perspectives and expertise. Each member of the collaborative group
will pursue a personal research project engaging with materials from WWO,
to be published in Women Writers in Context
(http://wwp.neu.edu/context/), the WWPšs open-access publication series.
Collaborators might develop research articles, short exhibits,
visualizations, experimental encodings, and other explorations of
intertextuality. We will also be developing interface tools for exploring
intertextual connections and patterns.
As part of this work, we will be undertaking a broad encoding of
quotations and citations across the entire WWO collection, linking
textual references to a comprehensive bibliography of sources, which we
will make openly available at the WWO Lab (http://wwp.neu.edu/wwo/lab/).
We will also make a deeper exploration of subtler kinds of intertextual
reference (such as allusion and parody) in a subset of the collection, to
reveal the many ways in which the textual space reverberates with echoes
and referential gestures. This deeper exploration will be strongly
informed by the research of our scholarly collaborators and the
particular projects they undertake.
