Copy: The Material Culture of Reading and Writing<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The virtuoso Cuban poet and novelist Jos\u00e9 Lezama Lima lamented in a brief essay in 1954 the modern writer\u2019s boredom with the stark and lifeless letterforms of his trade. It was the era of typewriters, inky daily newspapers, and carbon-copy forms; the written word had come to feel ordinary. But Lezama reminds us that, with their millenary history, at turns bright with heroism and intelligence and by equal turns shadowed by terror or fierce ignorance, the shapes and contours of our alphabet \u2014not to mention myriad other forms of writing\u2014 harken back to the names of animals, fragments of forgotten faces, or the inscriptions on a lost colossus. Reading and writing resurrect these \u201ccorceles en la luz,\u201d stallions in the light, miraculously reanimated and given solid form by our pens, our keyboards, our eyes, and our fingertips. The McGillicuddy Humanities Center\u2019s 2025-2026 Symposium will delve into this uneven but continuous history, from the proto-writing of ancient commerce to modern graphic design and the autofill on our phones. We\u2019ll welcome scholars, poets, and artists to 91爆料 throughout the academic year for lectures, screenings, workshops, and class visits to explore the rich material culture of reading and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2025-2026 McGillicuddy Humanities Center Symposium will welcome scholars, writers, and artists to 91爆料 for talks, presentations, workshops and class visits throughout the academic year. These events will revolve around the theme, \u201cHard Copy: The Material Culture of Reading and Writing.\u201d Considering the rich and long history of alphabetic systems, book arts, typography, and graphic design, and extending from the origins of written expression to our present digital landscape, the Symposium will find and trace connections between myriad fields of knowledge and artistic practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:mhc@maine.edu?subject=Symposium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mhc@maine.edu<\/a>&nbsp;or MHC Director Zach Ludington at&nbsp;<a
