Imprints of the New Modernist Editing: an intermedia exploration

该项目将最大限度地发挥AHRC资助的新现代主义编辑网络（NME）工作的先前不可预见的潜力，以满足NME成员的编辑和艺术家所确定的需求。NME网络从2016年9月运行到2017年9月，汇集了学者，出版商，编辑和艺术家从事或有兴趣在现代主义文本的学术编辑。新经济学的具体关注点可以分为两个方面：a）技术和实践：印刷技术的快速变化、发展和创新在这些文本产生期间的影响，以及作家在这一时期前所未有的修改过程。B）美学和文化：现代主义美学中流动性和不确定性的特点，现代主义时期语言和视觉之间关系的中心地位，我们的非学术成员注意到，这些问题和引起的讨论对许多非学术的创作实践者和专业人士有着重要的影响;创意艺术家，作家，编辑，校对员，版画家，出版商将受益于有机会聚集在一起，以实践的方式探索这些学术和创意问题，最大限度地加强知识交流和技能提高。这些机会被视为特别重要，因为尽管许多人在许多创造性或专业领域工作，但他们与其他具有类似广泛活动领域的人见面的机会有限。NME的产出，包括弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫短篇小说的数字版和NME网站上发布的网络活动讨论摘要，捕捉一些可能的方法来编辑现代主义文本的挑战。NME的工作已经在现代主义领域的学术界产生了重大影响;这笔后续资金将把该项目的影响扩展到各种非学术或学术相关领域。该项目的六个活动是与来自一系列专业和创意领域的项目合作伙伴合作设计的，以确保我们能够吸引广泛的潜在受益者。他们还了解到我们的非学术成员对NME开放和话语研讨会模式的积极反应。所有的活动将集中在从编辑的角度特别感兴趣的现代主义文本的选择，跨越流派和风格，并从整个现代主义时期。中心活动将是一个作品展览将在尚迪大厅举行。我们将在国家经济评估工作的调查结果的背景下，呼吁提出针对任何或所有这些文本进行创造性工作的建议。在本次展览之前，我们将举办五个研讨会：1）现代主义印刷技术2）作为社会和文化交流的物理对象的书籍3）pochoir版画技术和文本/图像关系4）编辑语言，以及5）策划口头和视觉（响应作品展览）。这些活动将由来自我们项目合作伙伴的专家负责，包括艺术家、社会企业领袖、编辑、出版商、策展人和学者。这些活动将把新经济学的见解--为21世纪编辑现代主义文本的活动所提出的问题以及所得出的结论--带入与文本相关者的富有成效的对话中--在反思现代主义文本的特殊品质的时候，基于广泛的创意和专业领域的工作，对后后现代一代的创意艺术家，作家，设计师，出版和编辑专业人士越来越感兴趣。

This project will maximise the previously unforeseen potential of the work of the AHRC-funded New Modernist Editing Network (NME) to meet needs identified by the editors and artists who were members of the NME. The NME Network ran from September 2016 to September 2017, bringing together academics, publishers, editors and artists engaged with or with an interest in the scholarly editing of the modernist text. The specific concerns of the NME can be grouped under two headings: a) technological and practical: the effect of the rapid change, development and innovation in print technologies during the period in which these texts were being produced, alongside writer's unprecedented embracing of the process of revision in this period.b) aesthetic and cultural: the particular characteristics of fluidity and uncertainty permeating modernist aesthetics, the centrality of the relationship between the verbal and visual in the modernist period, and the breadth of allusion characteristic of many modernist texts.Our non-academic members noted that these issues and arising discussions had significant implications for numerous non-academic creative practitioners and professionals; and that creative artists, writers, editors, proofreaders, printmakers, publishers would benefit from the opportunity to come together in groups to explore these scholarly and creative issues in hands-on ways, to maximise knowledge exchange and skills enhancement. Such opportunities were seen as particularly important because, although many individuals work across a number of creative or professional fields, there are limited opportunities available for them to meet others with similarly broad fields of activity.The outputs of the NME, including a digital edition of a short fiction by Virginia Woolf and summaries of the discussions held at the Network events posted on the NME website, capture some of the possible approaches to the challenge of editing a modernist text. The work of the NME has already had significant impact across the academic community in the field of modernism; this follow-on funding will extend and expand the impact of the project into various non-academic or academic-associated fields.The six events which form the project have been designed in collaboration with project partners from a range of professional and creative fields to ensure we engage a wide range of potential beneficiaries. They are also informed by our non-academic members' very positive responses to the NME's open and discursive workshop model. All events will focus around a selection of modernist texts of particular interest from an editing perspective, ranging across genres and styles, and from across the modernist period. The centrepiece activity will be an exhibition of works to be held at Shandy Hall. We will issue a call for proposals to make creative work responding to any or all of these texts, in the context of the findings arising from the work of the NME. Leading up to this exhibition we will host five workshops: 1) modernist print technologies 2) the book as physical object of social and cultural exchange 3) pochoir printmaking technique and the text/image relationship 4) languages of editing, and 5) curating the verbal and the visual (responding to the exhibition of works). These will be run by experts drawn from our project partners including artists, social enterprise leaders, editors, publishers, curators and academics.Collectively, these events will bring the insights of the NME - the questions raised by the activity of editing a modernist text for the twenty-first century as much as the conclusions drawn - into productive dialogue with those involved in text-based work across a wide range of creative and professional fields, at a moment when reflecting on the particular qualities of the modernist text is of increasing interest to a post-postmodern generation of creative artists, writers, designers, and publishing and editorial professionals.
