Dr Brett Hirsch
(Visiting Speaker, University of Western Australia)
Towards an Electronic Edition of Fair Em, or, Much Ado About the Miller‰۪s Daughter of Manchester

This paper offers a work-in-progress report on an electronic critical edition of Fair Em, an Elizabethan dramatic comedy of disputed authorship. With the play as its focal point, this paper considers the promises and pitfalls associated with such digital editorial projects, including the incorporation of rich multimedia content, the long shadow of print publishing in an age of open access, the dynamics of collaboration and its challenges to traditional models of humanities research and evaluation, and the bugbear of sustainability and long-term digital preservation.

Refreshments will be served after the talk

The conference brings together a unique network of international scholars and community-based practitioners in an effort to broaden our understanding of the role of space and place in the construction of modern Irish culture and identity at home and abroad.
Conference panel sessions and plenary lectures will take place at NUI Galway, with a public Community Mapping Workshop hosted by the Galway City Museum, Saturday 29 March 2014.

ÌÒmÌ_s ́ite: Space/Place Research Network was established by Dr Tim Collins and Dr Nessa Cronin in2009 to promote the interdisciplinary study of issues relating to the social, cultural and politicalproduction of space and place in modern Irish society. Work conducted by the group criticallyexamines how personal and national identities, cultures and communities ground themselves andconstruct their sense of place in a world that is becoming increasingly globalised and is sometimeperceived as being ‰۪placeless‰۪. While such spatialised concerns are wide-ranging and demand acritical engagement across a variety of discourses, the focus of much research underway withmembers is with the significance and role of place and space in Irish culture and society today.
ÌÒmÌ_s ́ite meets on a monthly basis at the Centre for Irish Studies, NUI Galway, to discusstheoretical readings and practice-based issues relating to questions of space. The research groupseeks to forge further thematic connections across key disciplines in the Humanities and SocialSciences, with a particular emphasis on both foundational texts and current work underway inCultural Geography, Irish Studies, Modern Languages and Literatures, Critical Theory, Philosophy,Performance Studies, and Visual Art and Design.
The network is also affiliated with the Space&Place research network, Geography, NUI Maynooth, and with the Mapping Spectral Traces international collective.
ÌÒmÌ_s ́ite is an interdisciplinary collective of academics, affiliated artists and community practitioners located in the West of Ireland, engaged with contemporary issues of space and place in Irish culture and society. New members are most welcome at any time.
