Abstract:This article examines deep-seated relationships that inextricably bind the material makeup of divinatory card decks to their multifarious literacy functions. Unpacking the deceptive underlying complexities in these objects requires both an ontological analysis of their multicultural rootedness and a speculative exploration of their propensity for memetic adaptation. The concept of "reading" cards as textual objects has typically existed on the fringes of Western literacy paradigms. In reality, however, considering the rather commonplace use of pedagogical objects such as alphabet cards and flash cards, the practice of reading cards should be recognized for its considerable role in literacy instruction. In looking at visual elements and sources shared between playing cards and the tarot—specifically, those that combine to form their visual lexicon—this article provides a contemporary survey of how, through its derivatives, the materiality of tarotological print cultures create diverse acts of reading. Discussed are card symbolism, the alchemical amalgamation of visual allegory, allegorical textuality in esoterica, and the transchronological hybridity in these cards as a counternarrative to illusory models of ethnic purity in European material culture.

Abstract:Settler accounts of the Cayuga Native American Soyeghtowa (Logan), such as Thomas Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia, interpret his famous mourning speech, "Logan's Lament," as the words of a melancholic, noble savage and vanishing Indian. This essay decolonizes settler accounts of Logan's words and deeds such as Jefferson's book by considering Indigenous relationships to a once-living memorial on Shawnee land in central Ohio, the Logan Elm, which nineteenth-century settlers apocryphally identified as the site of Logan's speech. Drawing on scholarly work on Indigenous writing and historical media by Native American and settler intellectuals, as well as local knowledge keepers, sections focus on Indigenous memories of Logan recorded in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century textual archives, early twentieth-century Native American orations, and twenty-first century interpretations of Logan by enrolled members of the Seneca Cayuga Nation. These interpretations, rooted in the sacred and political significance of trees in the Haudenosaunee treaty protocol, the founding of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the oral tradition of the Haudenosaunee Constitution, figure Logan's speech as an Indigenous history oriented toward Indigenous futures.
摘要:美国卡尤加(Cayuga)印第安人Soyeghtowa (Logan)的定居者记述，如托马斯·杰斐逊(Thomas Jefferson)的《维吉尼亚州笔记》(Notes on the State of Virginia)，将其著名的哀悼演说《洛根的挽歌》(Logan’s Lament)解读为一个忧郁、高贵的野蛮人、即将消失的印第安人的话语。这篇文章通过考虑土著与俄亥俄州中部肖尼族土地上曾经活着的纪念碑洛根榆树(Logan Elm)的关系，如杰斐逊的书等，使定居者对洛根言行的描述去殖民化。19世纪的定居者将洛根的演讲地点杜撰为洛根演讲的地点。借鉴土著写作和历史媒体的学术工作，由美国土著和定居者知识分子，以及当地的知识保卫者，部分集中在18世纪和19世纪早期的文本档案，20世纪早期的美国土著演讲，21世纪的塞内卡卡尤加国家注册成员对洛根的解释。这些解释根植于豪德诺松尼条约议定书中树木的神圣和政治意义，豪德诺松尼邦联的建立，以及豪德诺松尼宪法的口头传统，将洛根的演讲视为一段面向土著未来的土著历史。

Abstract:Digital collections of newspapers have drawn broader attention to the fragmented and scattered print histories of minoritized communities. Attempts to survey these histories through bibliography, however, quickly meet with a fundamental problem: the practice of bibliographic description calls for creating a static record of social affiliations. Given the overwhelming scholarly consensus that categories such as race, ethnicity, and language are socially constructed, this article introduces an experimental bibliographic method for mapping the vast landscape of historical newspapers. This method extends the machine learning affordances of a recent project called Newspaper Navigator to enumerate the newspapers in Chronicling America according to the visual similarity of their layouts. After explaining this method, the authors delve into the unsettled formats of one unruly example, a Spanish-language newspaper in Los Angeles, California, called La Crónica (1872–92). La Crónica changed its formats many times over the years as part of the paper's ambitions for political influence or commercial appeal. Experimental mapping and closer analysis demonstrate that a more iterative bibliographic approach can help us better understand the serial craft of newspapers and, by extension, the force of print in forming communities.

Abstract:This piece explores Indigenous knowledge-keeping and -sharing of Turtle Island, the place currently called the United States, especially as it relates to ancestral knowledge, oral tradition, and the living place of our knowledge—the land, and the fields of bibliography and book history. More specifically this article focuses on the seed as a site of Indigenous knowledge and how structures of knowledge corralling (book, library, collection) and knowledge managers (reader, librarian, archivist, collector) do not equally or easily map onto Indigenous knowing. Book history and bibliography as of this moment have no way to consider in their field discourse the symbiotic and living familial relationship between knowledge, DNA, culture, environment, and tradition embodied in seeds, the gardens, and lands where they grow, and the human relatives who interact with those seeds in the continual living process of creating, planting, growing, sharing, eating, and living Indigenous knowledge—that is, Indigenous texts. This article exposes the ways that Indigenous peoples are living with knowledge traditions embodied in our more-than-human relatives. That knowledge exists because some being is continually living some part of it and communicating it with other beings. Central to many of these knowledge traditions are seeds.

Abstract:This article models a mode of feminist bibliography by "surface reading" paper. Taking Ben Jonson's Sejanus His Fall (1605) as a case study, this article reads watermarks as reminders of paper's three-dimensional materiality, whose surfaces and depths model the more and less legible forms of labor which contribute to paper's making. Watermarks here become a creative and critical prompt to recover the interventions of John Spilman (the papermaker whose output was used for Sejanus), Spilman's workers, and especially his female ragpickers. This article fuses close reading of literary texts and archival sources with bibliography and theory to demonstrate fresh affordances of watermarks—both as they alter our reading of Sejanus and as they intervene more broadly in the affective and political models with which we read.
摘要:本文以“表面阅读”论文为载体，构建了一种女性主义目录学模式。本文以本·琼森(Ben Jonson)的《Sejanus His Fall》(1605)为例，将水印解读为纸张的三维物性的提醒，其表面和深度模拟了纸张制造过程中或多或少易读的劳动形式。在这里，水印成为一种创造性和批判性的提示，让我们得以还原约翰·斯皮尔曼(John Spilman，他的产品被用于Sejanus)、斯皮尔曼的工人，尤其是拾荒女工的干预。这篇文章将文学文本和档案资料的细读与参考书目和理论融合在一起，展示了水印的新鲜启示——它们既改变了我们对塞亚努斯的阅读，也更广泛地干预了我们阅读时的情感和政治模式。

Abstract:This article theorizes methodological transparency in intersections of book history and pedagogy. To illuminate the intersections of accessible pedagogy and liberation bibliography, I describe the process of planning and conducting an archive-based workshop submitted to the Bibliographical Society of America. The workshop focuses on one book object: an 1836 New Testament embossed in raised roman letters meant to be read by the fingers of low-vision and blind students. The workshop especially seeks to reach community and traditionally nonacademic spaces, both virtual and on-site. Workshop participants discuss and reflect on the relationships among education access, disability history, and the book as a material object. We emphasize the merging of method with material: in the same way that the embossed book attempted to make literacy accessible to blind and low-vision readers, this workshop must be accessible to a range of participants and tailored to the individual needs and preferences of those registered. Reflecting on the planning, conducting, and aftermath of this workshop, I suggest that the workshop potentially merges disability pedagogy and liberation bibliography: interdependence is not only acknowledged but also privileged; hierarchies are not only identified but also unpacked; and knowledge is made rather than received. I build this theorization from participant's contributions, feedback, and meta-reflections that assess the workshop on multiple levels, from access to content.

Abstract:Barbara Grier, best known for her publishing work with the Naiad Press, started her literary life in the pages of The Ladder, the magazine of the Daughters of Bilitis. Working initially under the tutelage of Jeanette Howard Foster, Grier cataloged and categorized work by and about lesbians during the repressive decades of the 1950s and 1960s. By tracing Grier's work in three major bibliographic projects, the Lesbiana column in The Ladder, the Lesbian in Literature (published in three separate editions), and Lesbiana (a book Grier published from her columns), Grier's bibliographic practices, enumerative and annotative, emerge as tools in the era before Judith Butler that distill lesbian identities and forge lesbian communities through iterative practices. An examination of Grier's bibliographic work between 1957 and 1981 reveals how it functions as a form of identity making and communal imagining, anticipating Butler's theories of bodies and beings in Gender Trouble (1990). Operating functionally as an outsider of multiple worlds, Grier's work is a monumental achievement, synthesizing a rich lesbian literary tradition from the work of predecessors. Grier's work also provided a vibrant foundation for future canon-making projects that define lesbian literature and assert lesbians as cultural citizens.
摘要:芭芭拉·格里尔以其在奈阿德出版社的出版作品而闻名，她的文学生涯始于《天梯》杂志，《胆囊炎女儿》杂志。格里尔最初在珍妮特·霍华德·福斯特(Jeanette Howard Foster)的指导下工作，对20世纪50年代和60年代压迫时期女同性恋者的作品和关于女同性恋者的作品进行编目和分类。通过追踪格里尔的三个主要书目项目，《阶梯》中的女同性恋专栏、《文学中的女同性恋》(出版了三个独立版本)和《女同性恋》(格里尔从她的专栏中出版的一本书)，格里尔的书目实践，枚举式和注释式，在朱迪思·巴特勒之前的时代成为一种工具，通过反复的实践提炼女同性恋身份，打造女同性恋社区。对格里尔1957年至1981年间的书目作品的研究揭示了它是如何作为一种身份制造和公共想象的形式发挥作用的，并预测了巴特勒在《性别麻烦》(1990)中关于身体和存在的理论。作为一个多重世界的局外人，格里尔的作品是一个巨大的成就，从前人的作品中综合了丰富的女同性恋文学传统。格里尔的作品也为未来定义女同性恋文学和主张女同性恋是文化公民的规范制定项目提供了一个充满活力的基础。

Abstract:This article draws on critical trans studies and queer archival practice to propose a book historical mode that extends what we know about the premodern trans experience beyond the recovery of individual biographies. Instead of turning to textual sources for the identification of transness, the author looks to Susan Stryker's call for the "recuperat[ion of] embodied knowing as a formally legitimated basis of knowledge production." Bibliography, he suggests, makes claims of objectivity that engender a particular reluctance to respond to such calls. But the lived reality of archival research is one of affective embodiment. Affect theory is an area that, as yet, has seen little methodological uptake in bibliographical research. This article lays the ground for a trans book history that takes affective embodied response seriously as a source of trans connection to and through the past.

Abstract:This article describes how undergraduate coursework performs activist bibliography for the largest and first fully searchable digital archive of testimony writing by currently incarcerated people, the American Prison Writing Archive (APWA). The authors argue that when teachers invite students to participate as citizen archivists for the APWA as coursework, through contributing crowdsourced metadata such as transcription and subject tagging, the incarcerated writers whose manuscripts they edit become the epistemological center of the course. Through this pedagogy, APWA authors create and disseminate knowledge about the emotional and physical tolls of incarceration and the need for prison abolition. The article features two case studies in undergraduate teaching assignments: (a) students performing subject tagging of APWA testimony in a literature course, and (b) students transcribing APWA manuscripts in a literacy studies course. Both engage students in activist bibliographical work and digital humanities for a public audience that increases the functionality and content in the archive, defies carceral censorship, and demystifies broad public and political misinformation about prisons and imprisoned people. By detailing two possibilities for incorporating APWA editing into literature and literacy curricula, and its potential to ideologically transform student citizen archivists, the authors hope to attract more instructors to include this editorial work in their syllabi and extend our call for critical action within and beyond the archive.

Abstract:This essay outlines a method of intersectional feminist book history that we call "cooperative critical bibliography," a practice of engaging faculty and students at different ranks and at different institutions in the act of collaboratively transcribing and digitizing historical archives of understudied communities, often those that comprise the quotidian and domestic daily lives of everyday people. Cooperative critical bibliography's non-hierarchical method centers the shared expertise and scholarship of students as they participate in broadening the accessibility of historical knowledge and revising standards of the historical literary canon through transcription, digitization, and shared reflection. By creating a pedagogical space that resituates learning and institutional connections non-hierarchically and elevates the material needs and experiential expertise of students to a crucial research skill, this practice offers an inclusive model of student-centered training that makes humanities and archival work welcoming for students of color, first-generation, and early career scholars: all groups who have been marginalized in university settings and in the fields of archival studies and book history.
