The EEBO Introductions Series
This nascent resource seeks to use EEBO’s role as a hub for early
modernists in order to foster communication and co-ordination between
scholars in different departments and institutions. The aim of the Series
is to provide a space for scholars of early modern texts to draw the
attention of their colleagues to texts which they feel are neglected or
which need to be revisited. The first batch of ten Introductions has gone
online and can be viewed at:

The intros also appear as a link to the relevant texts in a search query.

CFP: Bernard Stiegler and the Question of Technics

philosophy as a whole, going back to Plato's first gesture of thought, is
the place of technics in general in life, technics as the condition of life
that knows".
- Bernard Stiegler, "Desire and Knowledge: the Dead Seize the Living"
The seminar "Borders in the postnational era â€" Beyond hybridity?" will be
held at the American Comparative Literature Association meeting in Harvard
University, April 2009. Proposal submission deadline: Nov. 1st, 2008.
