Tweeps: I'm revising #asecs18 CFP ("Towards Intersectional Book History") to make the 2019 version more explicitly focused #BIPOC18 #bigger6 @Bigger6Romantix -- Suggestions for how to make it more inclusive? (Already regretting how wonky it was with jargon)

By the way if #ASECS18 inspired you to think about public scholarship and/or innovative session formats, @ABOwomeninarts biennial meeting with Burney Society November 2019 has your back! Hit me up for info — CFP coming as soon as @AuburnFootball schedule is locked down;)

Oh, and for those of you wondering, @Wizards_DnD at #asecs18 was an unqualified success, and brave adventurers will be returning to @strawbhillhouse at #asecs19 (and possibly any conference I attend from now on...)

You guys, I knew podcast editing is hard. I did not know that podcast *naming* is EVEN HARDER. #18cpodcast #babynoname #ramblertaken #alsospectator #sauceboxmaybetooextra #asecs18 @18common

#asecs18 website says there were 900 PEOPLE attending. No wonder I feel like I didn’t get near enough time with any of you.

I have a hell of a todo list after #asecs18 — article to finish, podcast to start, emails to write, etc. My most important goal: field an Intersectional Book History panel that is *majority* POC. If your work on booky things and their makers & readers is tied to 18c, hit me up.

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 Signing off now. See you at the Masquerade to raise money for Non-Tenure Track Faculty https://media.giphy.com/media/df0gUN4dc6vBu/giphy.gif

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 @nbgarret offers a beautiful response about how who is allowed to grieve in the #c18 & now fits into an intersectional matrix of power & marginality.

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 Interesting questions are brought up about Cohen-Vrignaud's reading of Emma: Ex: Emma doesn't fantasize about Frank but about Jane & Harriet. Also should we see Knightley as mother, not a second father or a continuation of "daddy issues"

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 Some pushback to Cohen-Vrignaud's reading of Emma, with the point that #JaneAusten's ironic narrators point to the lack of knowledge displayed by her #mansplainers

#asecs18 @SHARPorg @lmaruca The Governess shows education through storytelling and sociable transmission of sympathy, not mechanical handwriting etc

#asecs18 @SHARPorg @lmaruca see The Governess for a good example of reflecting on books used to make us wiser and better.

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 This was a fabulous panel. As mentioned throughout, if you haven't read it, see Rebecca Solnit's "Men Explain Things to Me" available @GuernicaMag www.guernicamag.com/rebecca-solnit-men-expla... & @wmarybeard's Women & Power...

#asecs18 @SHARPorg @lmaruca think about Richardson’s attention to the production means — not just print, but quills and handwriting and paper and ink

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 @theshapeofform: Is this perhaps not a subgenre but a feature of domestic novels, the marriage plot in general?

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 @theshapeofform closes the panel as our respondent. Of Cohen-Vrignaud, she asks why Mr Woodhouse avoids becoming a #mansplainer She points out that this may be due to #mansplaining's role in the novel's construction of construct.

#asecs18 @SHARPorg @lmaruca writing began for children as a mechanical, physical task of concentric circles of copying.

#asecs18 @SHARPorg @lmaruca character identification can only work when technologies of the book are invisible

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 Cohen-Vrignaud #JaneAusten's female #splainers do so with wit, her #mansplainers conflate #mansplaining with caring, with suitors aspiring to become paternal guides, grooming a woman into a wife

#asecs18 @SHARPorg @lmaruca novel as pleasurable form of virtual reality, but this is not a natural or inevitable construction.

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 4) Gerard Cohen-Vrignaud U of Tennessee, “How to Marry a #Mansplainer” - in a tone change, an ironic list of "rules" for falling in love with & marrying a mansplainer, based on #JaneAusten's Emma, w/ Knightly as the exemplary man "splaining"

#asecs18 @SHARPorg @lmaruca way early 18c remediated scribal practices — immersive (medium designed to disappear)

#asecs18 @SHARPorg @lmaruca - adding “gendered mediation” in the English Novels

#asecs18 @SHARPorg and now @lmaruca for the end

#asecs18 @SHARPorg Schellenberg: the personal dimension of text selection, over and above being prescribed by print.

#asecs18 @SHARPorg Schellenberg: transcription in manuscript as far more than passive

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 @nbgarret In spite of #Mansplaining associating maternal grief with madness, women expressed their loss in poetry, embroideries and other forms.

#asecs18 @SHARPorg Schellenberg: distinction between what appears in anthologies vs ms miscellanies —

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 3) @nbgarret @stonybrooku “#Mansplaining Maternal Grief Over Child Loss” After an overview of the concept, she points out that #C18 women rarely discuss #Mansplaining because this discourse dominated their lives. Image...

#ASECS18 @ASECSWomen #MansplainingC18 3) @nbgarret examines the way grieving mothers were asked to silence their grief by #mansplainers Ex: "We were once content without it; why cannot we content without it now?" Simon Patrick on the death of infants
