Pamphlets on the South African War

One of the joys of managing a large collection is the opportunity for new discoveries, to come across items I haven't before noticed. Yesterday I was showing the collection to the new History Librarian at Senate House Library, and spotted five volumes entitled Pamphlets on the South African War, held at DT 930 SOU in the Institute of Commonwealth Studies collection

The bound volumes appear to have been collated by a previous librarian and added to the collection (at least in bound format) in 1954. No other information on the origin of the collection is available. The volumes collate a number of pamphlets and articles on the South African War of 1899-1902 from British, European and North American sources, providing a rich source for contemporary thought. Within Senate House Library are also held a large selection of pamphlets on the South African War from the John Burns Collection

CONF: Caribbean Food Cultures

Caribbean Food Cultures: Representations and Performances of Eating, Drinking and Consumption in the Caribbean and Its Diasporas

 

28th to 29th September 2012 at the University of Heidelberg, Germany

 

http://www.uni-heidelberg.de/md/transculturality/food_cultures_final.png

 

Confirmed Keynote Speakers are:

• Professor Rita de Maeseneer (Antwerp) “The Aesthetics of Hunger and the Special Period in Cuba”
• Professor Fabio Parasecoli (New York) “Representations of Caribbean Food in US Popular Culture”

In the Caribbean, food and drinks as products and as acts or performances play a crucial role in various areas of human behavior and interaction: for the self-preservation of the body, as ethnic, religious and national identity markers, in the context of local and global commercial relationships, or regarding the fair allocation of food and relations of production. These biological, social, economic, historical and ethnic dimensions have taken a special turn in the Caribbean – a region that has been heavily influenced by migration.

 

Thus, on the one hand, colonizers, slaves, contract workers, privateers and refugees were components of specific historical relations of production and trade. On the other hand, these different groups of people brought along social, cultural and economic practices related to food, consumer and luxury goods, which were subject to change and (or) hybridization. In the course of decolonization, emigration and tourism these goods and food, in turn, are being re-imported into the former European “motherlands” and North America.

 

The aim of this conference is to explore acts or performances that are related to the production, consumption and the symbolism of food and nutrition in the Caribbean and its diasporas from the perspectives of cultural, social and behavioral sciences. Particular attention will be paid to contemporary and transnational perspectives. These, for example, can be concerned with the social or religious significance of food, abstinence, rituals of exchange and preparation as well as the exchange of culinary traditions and ingredients on the internet. Of further interest are national and transnational representation practices of eating and drinking in literature, popular culture and new media, such as the advertisement of Caribbean products in the region and the diasporas and the symbolic or metaphorical usage of “ethnic food” and its consumption in narrative literature and song lyrics.

 

Conference Venue:

Wikipedia workshops at British Library

In September the British Library are running two free Wikipedia workshops aimed at researchers - these sessions are open to all (details are also at http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/inrrooms/stp/workshop/workshops.html#wiki

Join Andrew Gray, the British Library's Wikipedian in Residence to find out how to engage with, and contribute to, Wikipedia.

Wikipedia for Researchers
Friday 7th September, 12:00-13:00, British Library Conference Centre, Chaucer Room

This 1 hour bite-size talk will provide an introduction to Wikipedia and its community. Andrew will introduce ways Wikipedia can be used by researchers, as well as discussing research done using Wikipedia as a subject.

Introduction to Wikipedia
Monday 24th September, 14:00-16:00, British Library Conference Centre, Chaucer Room

This 2 hour workshop will involve a short general introduction to the Wikipedia projects and a discussion of how they are created and developed, followed by a more in-depth practical session involving learning the basics of editing and engaging with other contributors.

Please bring a laptop; there is wireless internet access, but computers are not provided.

Places are free but limited, so please book your place soon to avoid disappointment by emailing claire.packham@bl.uk, specifying which of the sessions you wish to attend.

Given the uneven coverage of Wikipedia with regard to the developing world (despite some excellent projects working to address this) we would encourage Commonwealth scholars who are able and interested to attend.
