1. Whites Writing Whiteness: Project News
There are five new items of project news we would like to share:
From the Blog: Favourite? Letters between Queen Anne and Sarah Churchill
Many readers of the WWW blog will have heard about or seen the Hollywood film ‘The Favourite’. In my household, a debate has occurred about the facticity or otherwise of the power-sexual-political relationships between Queen Anne, Sarah Churchill (Duchess of Marlborough) and Abigail Masham nee Hill that it features. Does it matter that the only so-called evidence for Queen Anne having a sexual relationship with anyone other than her husband George seems to boil down to being part of vicious remarks about her made by the ambitious, ruthless and also attractive Sarah? I think it does. Quite a few hours over the last week have been spent in my reading the two volumes of published letters of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. How interesting they are, richly detailed and immensely colloquial; and all the people who crowd the pages writing to her as well as being written to seem very alive and both familiar and strange at one and the same time. But what light do these letters throw on the ‘did Anne have sex with them’ question? To read more, please visit the blog: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/blog/favourite-letters-between-queen-anne-and-sarah-churchill/
From the Blog: The 1820 settlers just after arriving
An interesting book [by Ralph Goldswain] on the first two or three years after the 1820 Settler group arrived in the Eastern Cape takes the form of extended extracts from published reminiscences, diaries and letters by a range of settlers. It conveys the small world aspects of their lives, arriving in ignorance of earlier outbreaks of violence as Xhosa people resisted the white incursions onto their land, being in a sense protected because of the institution of a ‘no go’ area for both white and black groups, and oblivious of the fact that their turn to pastoralism following crop failure and floods brought them into direct competition with the displaced Xhosa groups. To read more, please visit the blog: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/blog/1820-settlers-just-after-arriving/
From the Blog: Parallel tracks? Diaries, letters, absences
Diaries and letters have a complicated shifting relationship to the things that actually happened. This arises regarding the journals of Sophia Pigot, an 1820 Settler. There are a number of notable absences from Pigot’s journals. Should this be seen as an exclusion, or is it that different conventions for inclusion prevailed in how she understood what it was to write a journal and what it was to write letters? To read more, please visit the blog: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/blog/parallel-tracks/
From the Blog: Just another white farmer?
What can be gained from looking at a single photograph in isolation from other, more detailed information? This blog examines a photograph of Mark Elliott Pringle, one of the Pringles of Baviaansriver in the Eastern Cape. To what extent is the vulnerability of this ageing and rather gaunt man something ‘Anyone’ can see, and to what extent does it derive from things known from other sources? To see the photograph and read on, please visit the blog: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/blog/just-another-white-farmer/
From the Blog: It is, isn’t it?
This blog considers a child’s letter to Santa Claus in terms of guidelines put forth in a letter writing manual. There are several key departures from the manual’s edicts – but it is still a letter, isn’t it? To read more including the child’s letter, please visit the blog: https://www.whiteswritingwhiteness.ed.ac.uk/blog/it-is-isnt-it/

2. Call for Papers: Olive Schreiner 1855–1920: A special issue of English in Africa
(Volume 47, Number 2, August 2020)
Editors: Alannah Birch and Tony Voss
English in Africa will be hosting a special issue on the works of Olive Schreiner to commemorate the centenary of her death in 2020. Submissions are invited on all aspects of Schreiner’s life and work, but those concerned with the relationship between her writing and twentieth century social and political thought, or with the place of her fiction within a world literature in English would be particularly welcome.
Please send submissions to lbirch@uwc.ac.za before the 31 July 2019.

3. Epistolary Bodies: Letters and Embodiment in the Eighteenth Century (2/25/2019; 5/24/2019) Leicester UK
Epistolary Bodies: Letters and Embodiment in the Eighteenth Century
A Midlands Eighteenth-Century Research Network (MECRN) one-day conference
Held at the University of Leicester
24th May 2019
Organised by Sarah Goldsmith (Leicester), Sheryllynne Haggerty (Nottingham) and Karen Harvey (Birmingham)
This interdisciplinary one-day conference explores the relationship between letters and bodies in the long eighteenth century, and the information that can be found about ‘embodiment’, or experiences of the body, in letters. What can letters add to our understanding of eighteenth-century bodies? How might letters allow us to ‘embody’ activities such as work, trade, sociability and worship? How did the form and style of letters shape the knowledge about the body that they communicated? As material objects themselves and often carried on the person, what relationship did letters have with the body? Can bodily states, such as illness, be discerned from the mingled intellectual and mechanical act of writing? Alternatively, consideration might be given to the metaphorical role of bodies in letters in the eighteenth century, in for example, bodies of correspondence or the body politic.
Topics might include:
- Family letters on domestic, medical or corporeal practices
- Doctor/patient correspondence
- Business letters related to trades for the body (dress, food and beauty)
- Differing discussions of the body as relating to age, gender, religion, politics etc
- Foreign bodies in travel letters
- Letters in novels
- Representations of letters and reading in artwork
- The material letter
- The physical act of writing and/or reading
- The body as a metaphor in letter writing
Please submit abstracts (max. 300 words) for 20-minute papers to epistolarybodiesconference@gmail.com by 25 February 2019. We also encourage postgraduate students to submit proposals (max. 100 words) for 3-minute lightening talks.
Conference Website: https://epistolarybodiesconference.wordpress.com/
The event is open to all, and we particularly encourage proposals from the MECRN universities: Birmingham, Birmingham City University, Derby, Nottingham, Nottingham Trent, Leicester, Warwick and Worcester.
This conference is a grateful recipient of funding from the Royal Historical Society and the Economic History Society.

5. A call for papers: ‘The Rhetoric of Locality’
Res Rhetorica is a peer-reviewed open access quarterly academic journal associated with the Polish Rhetoric Society. Its scope includes both theories of rhetoric and practices of persuasive communication. The journal is indexed in ESCI (Web of Science™ Core Collection, Emerging Sources Citation Index), ERIH Plus (European Reference Index for the Humanities Plus), CEEOL (Central and Eastern European Online Library), CEJSH (The Central European Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities), ICI Journals Master List (Index Copernicus Journals Master List).
Now, we gladly invite you to contribute in the issue devoted to ‘The Rhetoric of Locality’. Almost every provincial town – and even villages or settlements – has its own local newspaper, sometimes in print, sometimes published online. On the Internet there are not only official websites of towns or cities, but also a plethora of informal local groups. Local radio stations, and even internet tv, operate in some provincial towns. Books about local history are published and distributed outside ‘official’ network of bookshops. Last but not least, there are such examples of rhetorical activity as speeches delivered by local activists or officials on various occasions or installations in public space: from monuments and exhibitions to memorial plaques or murals.
These issues are rarely discussed from the rhetorical perspective. We therefore invite researchers to submit papers concerning broadly understood ‘rhetoric of locality’ – both case studies and problem-based articles. Papers may cover the following topics:
- What are ‘local discourse communities’?
- Local rhetoric in the historical perspective
- The relations between local discourses and national, regional and global ones.
- Genres in local literature – from announcments to funeral orations
- The rhetoric of local social movements
- Local speakers/media faced with unusual situations
- ‘Locality’ on the Internet
- Local narrations in public space
Schedule
- submission deadline: June 15, 2019
- target publication date: December 2019

7. CFA: The Second Sex; conference in Oxford, 2-3 July; Deadline: 15 March
The UK Sartre Society is pleased to announce that our 2019 conference will celebrate the 70th anniversary of Simone de Beauvoir’s hugely influential work The Second Sex.
The conference will be held at the Maison Française d’Oxford on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd July.
Our keynote speaker is Professor Manon Garcia of the University of Chicago, author of the highly acclaimed new book On ne naît pas soumise, on le devient (Flammarion, 2018).
Call For Abstracts
We invite abstracts for papers on any question relating to The Second Sex, especially its reception and influence across the academic disciplines and in public life, its relation to Beauvoir’s life and other works, its relation to other works of existentialism, and the contributions that a renewed attention to this classic work can make to philosophical, ethical, social, and political debates today.
Abstracts should be no more than 500 words. Please bear in mind that each selected paper will be scheduled 30 minutes for presentation plus some time for questions.
All talks at the conference will be presented in English, so abstracts must also be in English.
Abstracts must be submitted through our new online submission system. This is a simple text system, so abstracts cannot include bold, italics, or footnotes. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously, so should not include any information that would identify their authors.
The submission system will open on Friday 1st March and close at the end of Friday 15th March. We hope to announce the selected papers by the end of March.
The submission system will be available through our website: https://uksartresociety.com/
