  A  working conference of  the  Society for Critical  Exchange - With
  support from the  Center for Law, Technology,  and the Arts  at Case
  Western Reserve University  School of  Law;  the History of  Science
  Department at  Harvard University; the  Washington College of Law at
  American University; and the  Morris Fishbein Center for the History
  of Science and Medicine at the University of Chicago

This conference interrogates the  social and cultural  construction of
invention   --  the diverse    ways   in  which  invention  has   been
conceptualized   in the arts and   sciences   in the broadest   sense,
including literature, the fine  arts, entertainment, the physical  and
life   sciences,  law, economics, medicine,  engineering, agriculture,
education,      communications,       computation,    finance,     and
business. Emphasis  will be on  the institutional cultures, rhetorics,
and  histories  of  invention across   these fields. In   this way the
Society seeks to  extend and deepen the  inquiry  of its long-standing
project on "Intellectual  Property and the Construction of Authorship"
(see  www.cwru.edu/affil/sce/IPCA_main.html).  Papers  reflecting upon
the  impact of  the "critique  of authorship"  will thus be especially
welcome.  The conference will include  lectures and panel discussions;
to facilitate discussion, papers selected for panels will circulate in
advance of the conference.  Topics   may include (but are not  limited
to):

    - the author as inventor
    - the inventor as author
