In association with the Resourceful Reading project, Austlit@USyd will host a major symposium on Resourceful Reading: The New Empiricism, eResearch and Australian Literary Culture, to be held at the University of Sydney from 4-5 December, 2008. This symposium will bring together researchers from a range of disciplines, and across various institutions, to discuss the possibilities of empirical and eResearch methodologies for Australian literary studies, and in the process, create fruitful partnerships between academics, writers, librarians and publishing professionals.
Resourceful Readings re-examine and re-invigorate Australian literary criticism and history by exploring the field using traditional, qualitative approaches in combination with new, empirically-rich methodologies and eResearch technologies and strategies. This approach to Australian literature aims to revise the legacy of theoretically-driven literary history and criticism, and to generate new ways of writing literary history and reading texts.
