The version of a cultural object is identified, defined, articulated, and analysed through diverse mechanisms in different fields of research. The study of versions allows for the investigation of the creative processes behind the conception of the object, a closer inspection of the socio-political contexts that affect it, and may even provide the means to investigate the object’s provenance and circulation. At a symposium at Maynooth University, scholars from different research areas exchanged ideas about different forms of media, including text, image, and sound, to work towards an understanding of the term versioning in the broadest sense. While the understanding of versions and related terminology differs between disciplines, a cross-disciplinary dialogue will highlight the range and depth of existing studies and provide an interdisciplinary understanding of the term versioning which will be useful for a more holistic conceptualisation. The present volume tries to contribute to this dialogue by providing eight peer-reviewed articles resulting from the discussion and presentations held at Maynooth University. |
