The CFP for *Queer Bibliography: Taking Stock* is now open! Full cfp below and at bit.ly/QB2027CfP (Please feel free to circulate these graphics off Bluesky! They're sized for an IG story.)

call for proposals

Queer Bibliography
TAKING STOCK
Manchester, UK and online
2-4 September 2027

details overleaf ❧ ❧ ❧

call for proposals

Taking Stock marks the fifth annual Queer Bibliography conference and is a chance to pause and reflect and to queerly attend to the many meanings of “stock” in bibliography.

Where do we find ourselves and our work?
How might we trace queer histories of queer bibliography? How can we imagine critical futures for bibliographical enquiry within and beyond its traditional academic locations?
From the raw materials of books to the origins and shapes of personal, commercial, and institutional collections, how does "stock" participate in the production, articulation, and study of queer textuality and textual communities?
What is queer about materiality, the ecology of books, and the processes of making and engaging with (collections of) physical textual objects?

We invite participants to engage in stock-taking or to reflect on bibliographical stock, broadly defined. We welcome meta, theoretical, and historiographical work that takes stock of queer bibliography, and we welcome proposals that relate to “stock” in bibliography, book history, and reception studies.

❧ abstracts due 29 January ☙

Sir, this is a Wendy’s* *A video about a ceramics pattern book

Screenshot of a Facebook comment on a video of ceramic designs “This is true. My Dad got so mad at my Mom because she made him wash the dishes.
He and his friend could lift a V8 engine.
He didn't raise his voice. He didn't hit her. He literally, scrubbed the pattern off of the dishes. True story.”

I'll never understand how "a lot of mostly/potentially/probably incorrect metadata is better for digital discovery than accurate but sparse metadata" became a popular idea than "we will put things online more slowly, but we will do it with accuracy"

Putting out a #bookhistory bat signal: does anyone have any resources on the history+production of ink balls/ball leathers? Finding it difficult to locate sources on preparing sheepskin for non-leather, non-parchment purposes…
