please post call for papers ACLA 2013

Call for papers: American Comparative Literature Association annual conference, University of
Toronto, 4-7 April 2013 http://www.acla.org/acla2013/. Abstracts of papers are invited to Steven
Totosy de Zepetnek by 31 December 2012 at totosysteven <at> purdue.edu for the panel "New Media and
Publishing in the Humanities." Debates about publishing in online journals and the publishing of books
online instead of print or in print-on-demand suggest that both scholarship and the situation of
academic publishers are changing rapidly. Papers can be overviews of the current situation of digital
publishing in the humanities in the U.S. and world wide and about specific issues such as the relevance of
the "impact factor" in the humanities, aspects of "digital humanities," digital preservation and
archival, the valuation of scholarship published online with regard to tenure and promotion, the
reading and teaching of scholarship in print versus online, the current move towards courseware online
in open access, etc. Selected and peer-reviewed papers of the panel are planned to be published in the
peer-reviewed online journal CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture (Thomson Reuters ISI indexed).
