1. ә-măn’yoo-ĕn’sĭs

   In tandem with this installation, we propose to present an approximately ten-minute-long collaborative theoretical paper entitled ‘ə-măn’yoo-ĕn’sĭs.’ BRIEF DESCRIPTION āmanuēnsis is a Latin word derived from ab + manus, or “by hand.” Originally used to refer to slaves, the word was later applied specifically to personal secretaries. We (Claire Donato and Timothy Terhaar) work as freelance amanuenses in Brooklyn, NY.
   Our presentation will be twofold, taking on the form of both a scholarly presentation and an onsite installation. Throughout the conference, we will set up and run an on-site transcription booth.
   Conference attendees will be invited to sit for exactly five minutes at the booth, to be monitored
   by a timer. Each participant will be expected to assume the position of the Source in producing
   dictation. At the end of the five-minute session, the participant will receive a hard copy of his or her document.
