Long description:

Teaching Text Technologies and Critical Bibliography Among the Disciplines: Objects of Study is a richly illustrated volume consisting of 23 methods-based chapters discussing innovative and often experimental approaches to hands-on teaching with material texts. Featuring 47 contributors whose work ranges from digital humanities, librarianship, curation, and conservation to architecture, culinary history, fine art, literary history, and the history of science, the collection builds on new work in the areas of text technologies and critical bibliography—emerging scholarly approaches being embraced in the humanities. The book features established experts in bibliography, the history of the book, manuscript studies, and textual editing, as well as educators and students who are applying new critical bibliographical methods (e.g., Black bibliography) to their pedagogy. The result is a dynamic cross-disciplinary, cross-generational exchange modeling inclusive pedagogies with textual artifacts and illuminating how object-oriented teaching can harness the insights of diverse branches of practice and learning.
