Candidate statement
Brigitte Ouvry-Vial. University Professor, Le Mans Université, France and Institut Universitaire de France. 20th-C Literature, Media studies, Information & Documentation. Head of Institut des Sciences Humaines et Sociales and Deputy Director Maison des Sciences de L’Homme Ange-Guépin (Pays-de-la-Loire).
SHARP member since 2000, frequent participant in annual conferences, Translation committee advisory member, Book History advisory editor (since 2018), I organized a SHARP Focused conference in Le Mans (Texts, Forms, Reading in Europe 18th-21st C, 2013), helped to set up SHARP joint participation to COST-E-READ conference in Vilnius (Books and Screens and the Reading Brain, 2017), participated in the scientific reviewing committee for SHARP Paris (2016), and enrolled several SHARP members as redactors for the 140 entries of the “Women in Book business” sector in Dictionnaire des Femmes créatrices de l’Antiquité à nos jours (Ed. des Femmes, Paris, 2013). As digital showcases and list-forum have been a major source of enlightenment and energy in my work, I would like to ‘’give back’’ to SHARP within the Board of Directors. I especially have in mind to find the ways and means to better share our Book history research data and make it more visible as well as reusable through an open source or common archive. In view of this I would like to foster cross exchanges with and between DH oriented Book History groups. This project could also benefit from the focused and rich expertise in Digital Humanities of the UOH (e.g. the Université Ouverte des Humanités, one of 5 collaborative Digital Thematic Universities in France) for which I am a Board member.
