[Sule Tarakcioglu]

For a special issue of Early Modern Literary Studies, guest editors
Katherine Acheson and Andrew McMurry invite submissions that practise
and/or theorize the use of multimedia in pedagogical and scholarly
communication in early modern studies. Topics to be considered: the
perils and opportunities of new media scholarship; the role of the
scholar-designer; the representation of historicity in multimedia; the
transformation of the rhetoric of scholarly argument in multimedia; the
  constraints and affordances of multimodal communication in humanities
scholarship, including those that pertain to the materiality of the
technology; any other topic appropriate for the audience of EMLS but
that is presented through or deals with multimedia.

Submissions can take the form of standard articles, or they may be
written as multimedia essays using slideware (such as PowerPoint),
web-design software, or other programs that can integrate text and
image. Deadline for abstracts: September 2005. Publication date: March
2006. EMLS is a refereed journal that publishes electronically; please
