  • The Bloomington Symposia: The Book in Hand

Institute of Advanced Study to host symposium on "The Book in Hand"

Thursday, April 13, 2023

Maxwell Hall James Brosher | Indiana University

The Institute of Advanced Study is hosting The Bloomington Symposia: The Book in Hand from April 13th to April 15th at Maxwell Hall. The focus for this year’s symposium is the book as object. This symposium seeks to explore hand assembled "books" as reservoirs of knowledge, memory, and experience, bringing together people who investigate the ways in which knowledge is organized in a personally-produced object meant to be kept by an individual or shared. Some key questions might include: What does a person choose to record and preserve in a hand-made assemblage? How do they organize and share what they have accumulated? How do they adjust and annotate it? How are these objects related to the more outwardly-facing ways in which knowledge, memory, and experience are shared using modern digital means of assemblage? How could they instead serve as private reservoirs of personal heritage?

This year's workshop group is co-convened by Diane Reilly, Provost Professor, Art History, College of Arts and Sciences, and Rowland Ricketts, Professor, Fibers, Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture and Design.
