The conference approaches the re-observation and re-appraisal of intuition in the field of genetic criticism. Topics covered at the conference will include, but are not limited to:

• The nature of intuition in genetic criticism;
• Confirmed or corrected intuition on any aspect of the collection, classification, and analysis of a genetic dossier;
• The status and function of evidence in genetic criticism;
• Change of view on the genetic process due to the emergence of a previously unknown document;
• Different reasonings based on the same genetic data;
• Models of reasoning in genetic criticism;
• Differences between intuition, evidence and proof in genetic criticism;
• The roles of digital tools and methodologies in the acquisition and retrieval of documentary evidence, and the way they refine intuition;
• Processing undocumented genetic stages in interpretation.

The conference is co-organised by the Centre of Linguistics of the University of Lisbon (CLUL / FLUL), the Institute for the Study of Literature and Tradition of the Nova University of Lisbon (IELT / NOVA FCSH), and the Institute of Modern Texts and Manuscripts (ITEM, CNRS / ENS, Paris).
