1. Whites Writing Whiteness: Project News

There are a large numbers of project news items to report on, including new Traces and a Curiosity:

New Trace!: The Transvaal pass system, 1880
‘The pass’ as a means of regulating and constraining the presence and absence of black people has become synonymous with segregation and apartheid up to the ending of pass legislation in 1986. Passes are important in their own right because they were instrumental in governance, regulation, constraint and also punishment. The pass was one of the foundational features of racialisation and its regulation over time, together with the contract, the location, the sign. People, land, labour, material existence, were all conscripted. Discussion here focuses on the year 1880 in the Transvaal, when following its annexation by Britain a pass system was introduced. To read more, please visit the Trace: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/traces/transvaal-pass-1880/

New Trace!: Mrs McCorkindale, Muslatinzan, Couzan and an 1876 pass
This trace concerns two documents, which might be seen firstly as showing a note and a pass; or secondly as a note covering – in the sense of explaining by an authorised person – a pass; or thirdly as a pass from an official that covers – in the sense of legitimating – the note; or fourthly as two closely linked passes. To read more about this, please visit the Trace: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/traces/mmc1876-pass/

New Trace!: Galy’s pass, 20 February 1844
This trace concerns a pass dated February 1844 for a man, Galy, with his age and appearance and other personal information provided, including that he was a Tambookie. To read more, and view a photograph of Galy’s pass, please visit the Trace: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/traces/galy-pass-feb-1844/

New Curiosity!: A pass and a letter, 18 June 1864
This new curiosity discusses a document that looks quite straightforward. It was written from as a pass for a man called Wilhelno, and it is officially signed by a Government Agent. But quickly it becomes more complicated, for it then turns into a letter explaining circumstances necessary to adding a further layer of legitimation for Wilhelno. So is it a pass or a letter or a combination of them – and why? Read on, at https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/curiosities/pass-and-letter/

From the Blog: the pass system and its Others
Recently the pass system has been the focus of WWW activity. What became a brutal policing and bureaucratic monster earlier took more complicated forms, which differed between the four settler states that later constituted South Africa and also sometimes in specific circumstances, as well as there being changes over time. In approximately the same time-period, a bureaucratic system with printed forms (Transvaal 1867, and also again 1877) could coexist with notes written on scraps of paper giving permission for people to ‘pass’ (also in the Transvaal). To read more, please visit the blog: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/blog/the-pass-system-and-its-others/

From the Blog: Did the letter start it all?
The invention of writing made a profound difference to social organisation and all forms of communication. But what was the original form that writing took? Was it letter-like, as in the legal pronouncements of the great King Hammurabi; was it edicts carved on a stele which cowering populations might not have been able to read but certainly knew the meaning of; or was it, as seems more likely, lists in the form of inventories of war booty, trade and the like?

2. A Book of Interest–Diary as Literature Through the Lens of Multiculturalism in America

Diary as Literature Through the Lens of Multiculturalism in America

2020-01-27

This collection of diary voices, side by side, document and demonstrate how social pressures and literary practices affect people despite race, culture, creed, or pedigree.

Based on the diary, the contributors of Diary as Literature write about multiculturalism and intercultural relations during the Civil War experienced by African-Americans and Irish-Americans soldiers, through the lives of Afro-Cuban diaspora, within a New Englander’s cultural clash in the Appalachia, the hardships of a Bengali immigrant in New York City, and the “racial barriers as a false social construct to create multicultural identities.”

Contributors include Sumaira Ahammed and Virginia Maresca from St. John’s University in Queens, New York; Rachel Wagner from Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey; Alexa Potts and Philip Krummrich from Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky; Daniel P. Kotzin from Medaille College in Buffalo, New York; Anthony David Franklin from Penn State in Pennsylvania; Corey D. Greathouse from Austin Community College in Austin, Texas; Aisha Z. Cort from Howard University in Washington D.C.; Kelsey Paige Mason from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio; Suzy Woltmann from the University of California in Oakland, California; and Chimene Jackson from Vagabroad Journals in Brooklyn, New York.

3. XVIII INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM – CIVILIZATIONS PROCESSES (SIPC) INTERDEPENDENCIES IN PROCESS 16 to 19 November 2020 – Bogotá, Colombia

The National University of Colombia and Corpovisionarios together are organizing the next International Symposium of Civilizing Processes (SIPC) to be held in Bogotá from 16th to 19th of November 2020.

The SIPCs were born in 1996 thanks to a Brazilian initiative and they are being carried out at a biannual pace, in order to encourage the exchange of ideas and research results among scientists of various disciplines who find in Norbert Elias’s work a source of guidance to face the challenges of today’s world and who share interest in reality-adjusted social sciences. With this in mind, the call for SIPC 2020 is addressed to scientists from all over the world. In order to foster mutual understanding and broad discussions, simultaneous translation (Portuguese, Spanish, English) will be available for sessions that require it. With the aim of encouraging the renewal of the international Eliasian community, speakers who are students of any level (including doctoral students) are exempted from registration fees.

Special attention will be given to the following topics:

  • Past and present of violence in relationships between human beings (from the interpersonal to the international level).
  • The theories of human development in the history of humanity in light of the neuroscience revolution.
  • Digital citizenship, realities and problems of citizen participation in new forms of communication.
  • Education: historical developments, consequences of recent reforms, perspectives.
  • The foundations on which mainstream economic theory is based, their practical consequences and the contrast of these foundations with a processual epistemology.

However, all the thematic proposals are welcome.

Proposals should be sent before May 4 of 2020, abstracts not exceeding 500 words. The approval of the papers will be announced on June 29 and the deadline for reception of the final document (full paper to be included in USB) will be September 15.

Contact e-mailcontacto@elias2020.com
Registration fee: 200,000 Colombian pesos.
Student speakers (with a certificate of their condition) do not pay registration.

Place: National University of Colombia (agreements are made with hotels in the vicinity of the University).

The Norbert Elias Foundation in the same spirit of facilitating the passage of the torch to the next generation is studying the possibility of additional support for transatlantic passages.

6. “Biography in Encyclopedias” International Conference on Encyclopedistics 2020 Achievements and Challenges (5/1/2020; 10/15-17/2020) Zagreb, Croatia

The Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography

is organising the

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ENCYCLOPEDISTICS 2020 – ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES

On the occasion of its 70th founding anniversary, the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography is organising the international conference Encyclopedistics 2020 – Achievements and Challenges, which will be held from 15 to 17 October in Zagreb.

The 70th anniversary of the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography, founded in 1950 on the centuries-old tradition of Croatian encyclopedistics and lexicography, has prompted us to consider the achievements, current state, and (un)predictable future of encyclopedistics in Croatia, Europe, and the world. Bringing together experts, not only in encyclopedistics and lexicography, but also in other academic fields, we wish to discuss topics that we have divided into three broad groups, regarding the state and possibilities of digital encyclopedistics, individual fields and terminology, and the encyclopedistic treatment of biographies (these topics are guidelines rather than fixed categories).

The topics of the conference are as follows:

a)  Digital encyclopedias and knowledge networking:

  • Online encyclopedias and other reference works • Thematic portals
    • Digitisation and linking digital sources
    • Multimedia and interactive content
  • The role of digital reference works in science and education
    • Organisation, networking, and dissemination of knowledge
    • Encyclopedias in the age of greater accessibility of information • Digital lexicography and digital humanities

b)  Fields and terminology in encyclopedistics and lexicography

  • Theoretical fundamentals (methods, approaches, specificities) • Concepts and production of professional encyclopedias
    • Treatment of specific fields in general/national encyclopedias • Selected topics from specific fields
  • Mircropedic and macropedic approach
    • Terminology between description and prescription • Terminology between internationalism and purism • Terminology in a diachronic perspective

enciklopedika 2020 – dosezi i izazovi encyclopedistics 2020 – achievements and challenges

c) Biography in encyclopedias

LEKSIKOGRAFSKI ZAVOD MIROSLAV KRLEŽA Frankopanska 26 Zagreb Hrvatska

  • Conceptions of biographic encyclopedias and lexicons
    • Biographies in professional, national, and general encyclopedias • Biographies in regard to specific fields
    • Problems regarding biographic research and presentation
    • Bibliography

The abstract (1000 to 1500 characters), in Croatian and English (the organiser shall secure translation into Croatian for foreign applicants), together with a short biography (400 to 600 characters) should be sent to the secretary of the Organising Committee, Iva Klobučar Srbić (iva.klobucar@lzmk.hr; enciklopedika2020@lzmk.hr).

The application deadline is 1 May 2020. The applicants will be informed whether their abstracts have been accepted by 1 June 2020, and the accepted abstracts will be published in a separate booklet.

Presentations should be in Croatian or English and up to 15 minutes long. Papers based on these presentations that are submitted by 1 March 2021 will be published, following the peer review process, in a thematic issue of the lexicography and encyclopedistics journal Studia lexicographica (http://studialexicographica.lzmk.hr/sl).

There is no participation fee, but applicants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses.

All information and notifications about the conference can be found on the webpage: http://www.lzmk.hr/ enciklopedika-2020.
