Pronting errors In The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (1901), Sigmund Freud argues that slips of the tongue and the pen constitute moments when repressed thoughts break through.

Typos of Western names in the Rep-era Chinese periodical press never fail to disappoint... I should make some kind of compilation one day.

Ever wonder how Paris' reputation as 'city of love' came about?

You'll have to thank 1920s Chinese travel writers for successfully rebranding the Seine St Denis as 'Saint Penis,' it seems...

Screenshot from NEH webpage, text reads: "Fellowships provide recipients time to conduct research or to produce books, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, e-books, born-digital materials, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions resulting from previous research. Projects may be at any stage of development. NEH encourages submissions from independent scholars and junior scholars. The 2026 Fellowships competition will only accept projects for research in American history and culture and Western civilization. Competitive applications must focus on topics in the history, culture, and government of the United States in any period from the Colonial Era to the present, or topics in Western civilization from antiquity to the present."

Fun update on National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships: they have to focus on "American history and culture and Western civilization." Sinologists et al. are no longer welcome.

Will give it a shot, thanks! Digital workflows are always tricky...

Oh, good to know re: shadows and discolouration, it's sometimes tricky! Will give it a try and see if the paid version seems worth it

Oh, sounds great, will give it a try!

Academic friends: I'm hosting a campus discussion today with real talk about the the scholarly publishing process/pipeline, and would love to share some "in the trenches" wisdom: what is something you know now about the process that you wish you'd known as a first-year/early-career academic?

Because I am for sure *not* putting any of my archival material on cloud storage I have no control over...

So long, Lens, we had a good run! (probably tens of thousands of shots I moved out a while ago)

#Skystorians, now that Microsoft is retiring the Lens app (seemingly to force OneDrive, cloud storage (and thus possibly AI) down our throats), what's everyone favourite all-around scan-to-PDF app solution for the archives ? (hopefully one that supports resizing, cropping, and saving locally)

Blue book cover reading "Immunity on Trial: Ethiopian Courts, Chinese Corporations and Contestations over Sovereignty", Miriam Driessen

Introduction section of the book (available following the link on the publisher's website). It reads: "Introduction Everyone had retreated to rest in the scarce shade when Benli Li mounted a loader parked on the construction site.! He was bantering with an Ethiopian laborer under his direction and dared him to step into the machine's bucket. The worker complied, perhaps hesitant to go against his expatriate manager's request or eager to prove his courage. The Chinese foreman ignited the engine. The machine shot forward. Within moments, the young man lost his balance and landed on the ground. Unable to bring the machine to a halt, Li drove over him. On July 24, 2016, the Supreme Court of Amhara, Ethiopia, summonsed the twenty-six-year-old site supervisor to a hearing of its mobile bench at Debre Tabor, a mountain town in South Gondar. The state prosecutor demanded a prison sentence, charging Li with homicide caused by severe negligence. Li, however, did not appear, and the local police failed to find him. Months went by before the court arranged a new hearing. Yet again, the police officers of Farta Wereda, the rural county in which the incident occurred, visited the Chinese camp and returned empty-handed. They requested another adjournment. "This time", they wrote in their note to the Supreme Court, "we promise that we will bring him to court."3 They failed yet again. As procedure requires, the court then turned to the national press agency. It placed a public summons in the English-language newspaper The Ethiopian Herald and its Amharic counterpart Addis Zemen, calling"

Happy pub day to @driessenmiriam.bsky.social 's "Immunity on Trial: Ethiopian Courts, Chinese Corporations, and Contestations over Sovereignty," a labour of love and heartbreak, with fieldwork in Ethiopia spanning 2011-2020, by a brilliant colleague who's one of the finest anthropologists I know ✨💫

Pour tous les collègues en France qui regardent encore le système britanniques des frais d'inscriptions à la hausse avec des étoiles dans les yeux (si si, on vous voit), une page d'utilité publique de @qmucu.bsky.social qui recense les licenciements, restructurations et fermertures en cours 💔

With Natascha not on Bluesky (miss the old days of the before-place) I had somehow missed this - massive congratulations, and bound to be a great book!

A #Taiwan, le bureau de la Sécurité nationale achève la déclassification et le transfert de toutes les archives politiques de la période de la loi martiale.

Aura-t-on un éditeur francophone intéressé par 臺灣漫遊錄 maintenant qu'il est nominé pour le Booker, that is the question 👀👀

Bravo Lin King (traductaire anglophone), et un bon coup de boost pour les collègues néerlandophones et germanophones déjà sur le coup ✨

Everyone, tag yourself as a 1930s Shanghai cartoonist #menswear

Has Paul joined us on Bluesky yet? (but yes, I should send him a message!)
