The Organising Committee and the European Society for Textual
Scholarship cordially
invite you to participate in the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the
European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS 2019), which will be held at
the University of Málaga (Spain) on November 28th-29th, 2019. This year's
theme for the conference will be: *Textual Scholarship in the 21st Century*
.

Textual Criticism has travelled a long path of both theoretical and
practical approaches to editing. The advent of new technologies has
undoubtedly contributed to new attitudes and methods in the field. However,
there is still a long way to go and many questions remain open to debate in
textual scholarship:

   - In which direction is textual scholarship moving?
   - What are the specific challenges, but also opportunities, that lie
   before textual scholars?
   - What is the scholarly, intellectual and cultural role of textual
   editing and how can we realize that role?
   - What kind of new tools, methods, audiences are available to textual
   scholars?

A suggested, albeit not prescriptive, list of themes for conference
presentations includes:

   - Textual scholarship across the centuries
   - Do new technologies change our editorial principles?
   - Textual scholarship: methods and tools
   - Textual scholarship in the digital humanities
   - New models of editing
   - Editing context

… as well as other more general topics that have always been fostered by
the Society:

   - Selection of texts worth editing
   - The target audience
   - Scholarly editions: use and users

The organizing committee welcomes abstracts of up to *300 words* for
20-minute papers until *31 May 2019*. For the full CFP, which includes more
detailed submission guidelines, information on alternative session formats,
