Description

Critical book history and bibliography explores the intersections of critical theory and bibliographical and book historical scholarship to interrogate the book, the library, and the book historian as nexuses of power. The course will include key readings from feminist bibliography, Black bibliography, Indigenous textualities, and postcolonial book history scholarship to explore their discursive intersections and capabilities as practical methodologies for examining physical objects and interrogating bibliographical norms. Participants will work individually and collectively to engage the “canon” of book history practices and repurpose its critical methods in their scholarship and pedagogy.
