SUMMARY:CTIS Research Seminar -Who Counts as an Author? What Is a Text? R
 eshaping Literary Displacement through Collaboration

DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores how collaborative ways of making l
 iterature redefine literary texts as social processes\, open up individu
 al and canonical ideas of authorship and create more immediate and relat
 ional modes of literary valuation and circulation. Focusing on contexts 
 of migration and displacement and using the Shatila Stories project (201
 8) as a case in point\, I will examine the affordances and limitations o
 f collaboration for emerging refugee authors\, highlighting the formal i
 mplications of writing together and the role of editors and translators 
 in co-creating the text. The presentation will analyze the interplay bet
 ween text and context by looking at the political and economic instituti
 ons that make the Shatila Stories project possible\, pointing to the pro
 found transformations that digital practices of circulation and civil so
 ciety initiatives typically located outside the cultural field bring to 
 the institution of literature itself.\n\n
