1. Universidade de Coimbra, FCT PhD Programme in Materialities of Literature

   "Materialities of Literature" is the name of a PhD Programme of the University of Coimbra funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Here follows an excerpt from the programme's presentation: "Changes in the technologies of communication over the past three decades have changed both the regimes of representation of media, and the regimes of representation based on the codes of writing. This modification opened up a new chapter in the critical theory of the materialities of communication, affecting research into literary forms of the past, as well as of the present. The purpose of this programme is to develop an emerging area of research dedicated to analyzing the materialities of literature – materialities of sound, voice, performance, image, book, writing, and also the digital materialities that define many contemporary literary practices and forms.

2. Robin Shirley

   Robin Shirley died on Sunday 27 March 2005, peacefully with members of his family at King’s
   College Hospital, London. Robin was a Research Fellow in Information Systems at the University of Surrey in Guildford, teaching statistics and scientific method to psychology students. In
   November 2004 he went to Egypt to speak at a conference and it seems that he caught Hepatitis A there from infected food or drink. Back in this country the symptoms began to show by the end of the year, and late in January he was taken to hospital. In the end he caught a form of MRSA.

   In earlier years at Surrey Robin’s main work was in crystallography and he remained active in this
   subject, for example looking after CRYSFIRE, a public software system he wrote which produces
   structural information from diffraction data on powders.

   Within the Computer Conservation Society (CCS), Robin was chairman of the Working Party on the S100 bus, an early de facto bus standard which had 100 lines.
