The Association for Computers and the Humanities has compiled this list of sessions with computing-related talks at the 2004 Modern Language Association Convention (in Philadelphia, from December 27 through 30). Some of these sessions contain only one or two computing-related talks, but this list includes the entire program for each session.
In most cases you must pay the convention-registration fee in order to attend any of these talks. But two sessions are free and open to the public: “Plagiarism and the Internet” and “Medieval Manuscripts in the Digital Age”. MLA talks are published at the discretion of their authors; if you want to obtain the text of a talk you were unable to attend, the best method is to contact the author directly.
Although the 2004 convention is now in the past, this information will remain available, as a record of what went on. Similar information for many other years is available via the main page on ACH MLA sessions.
Corrections and additions are welcome; please send them to John.Lavagnino@kcl.ac.uk.
