Abstract

[The chapter looks at the academy as a place where the messiness of practice tests the limits of conceptual boundaries and considers the disciplines in which editing is taught or studied in some form; in creative writing, for example, an expectation of self-editing is written into the subject benchmark. Greenberg proposes that there is room to develop further the pedagogy of third-party editing in cognate disciplines such as Publishing and a potential new field of ‘Editing Studies’. The chapter goes on to tease out issues in book history, scholarly editing and the digital humanities that illuminate the relationship between theory and practice in editorial mediation. It starts and ends with speculation about the extent to which a foundational tussle between Platonic and Aristotelian concepts of knowledge is still present in contemporary academic contests.]
