Variance in textual scholarship and genetic criticism
La variance en philologie et dans la critique génétique
Published on Thursday, November 14, 2013
Abstract
Treated either as a deviation to be eliminated or as a creative transformation, variation is central to every form of textual scholarship. It is high time to confront the various conceptions of what constitutes a variation, to see what they have in common and what irreconcilable differences remain – though it would be paradoxical for a conference devoted to variance to aim at absolute uniformity.

Presentation
The 10th Conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) will be held at the École normale supérieure, Paris, on 22-24 November 2013.
Treated either as a deviation to be eliminated or as a creative transformation, variation is central to every form of textual scholarship. It is high time to confront the various conceptions of what constitutes a variation, to see what they have in common and what irreconcilable differences remain – though it would be paradoxical for a conference devoted to variance to aim at absolute uniformity.
ESTS conferences are characterised by a combination of formal plenary sessions and traditional paper presentations in panel sessions with three speakers, followed by lively exchange, dialogue and interaction between speakers and audience in many small groups.
To register for the conference, or get more information about the programme, please visit the ESTS website.
