---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Slive, Daniel <dslive(a)mail.smu.edu> Date: Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 2:09 PM Colleagues, For list-members in the extended Dallas-Fort Worth area and for those who may be in the region in late October: "The Codex, the Digital Image, and the Problems of Presence" A lecture by Michael F. Suarez, S.J. Director, Rare Book School Professor of English and University Professor, University of Virginia This lecture will consider how digital surrogates are changing the ways we think about books and what the implications of these changes might be.  In turn, it asks how books and bibliographical reflection might usefully change the ways we think about 'books' delivered to us as digital images.  Insights from art history, philosophy, and anthropology are adduced to enrich our thinking about this timely subject.
