Reports and College Activities Yuelu Academy, Hunan University, founded in 976 for the study of metaphysics C. International conferences The Centre held three international conferences in the academic year 2018-19. Conference activities in 2019-20 were naturally quieter. The activities of the previous year are now being worked up into peer-reviewed journal issues. The Centre organised a three-day international conference on ‘The Materiality of Knowledge in Chinese Thought, Past and Present’ (3-6 September 2019), held at Yuelu Academy, Hunan University, Changsha, one of the four ancient universities in China. Accepting that knowledge is shaped, sustained, and framed by socio-material factors, the conference explored ways in which materiality has affected, and will continue to affect, the perception, processing, and production of knowledge in China. To disrupt the usual reflex of seeing the world through a western-specific lens, the conference was conceived as the first of two events: the first conceptualised the field on the materiality of knowledge in China, while the second will reach out into cross- and inter-disciplinary research with an inter-cultural focus: www.materialityofknowledge.org. D. The Journal Manuscript and Text Cultures Work on Manuscript and Text Cultures continues apace. The journal will appear once a year digitally and in print on demand in themed issues. It is double-blind peerreviewed. With the journal we follow a strict open-access policy. The first journal issue, ‘Transposition and Monumentality of Writing in Pre-modern Epigraphic and Manuscript Traditions’ has now been fully peer-reviewed, and we are currently getting the infrastructure in place for the Open Access online platform and print-on-demand. 58 The Queen’s College | College Record 2020
The first issue contains eight articles covering various civilisations, from Northern Europe to Southern America: • In the Midst of Great Kings: The Monumentalization of Text in the Iron Age Levant • The function of wax-covered writing boards in the transposition of texts in the Kassite period • The Page as Monument: Epigraphical Transposition in the runica manuscripta Tradition of Early Medieval England • Ego sum lapis: representing Latin textuality in medieval Scandinavian runic inscriptions • Monumentalizing Metaphors: Diphrasis in the Murals of Tulum (Mayan) • From Royal Court to Ancestral Shrine: Transposition of Command Documents in Early Chinese Epigraphy • Monumentalizing ritual texts in ancient Egyptian pyramids • Manuscripts and monuments: the ten contracts of Djefai-Hapi and economies of knowledge (Egypt) The peer-review processes for volumes 2 (Navigating the Text: Textual Articulations and Divisions Across Cultures) and 3 (La page monumentalisée) have already begun. Reports and College Activities 3 3 that more text focus and ssion cross TRANSPOSITION AND MONUMENTALITY in Pre-Modern Epigraphic and Manuscript Traditions is the journal of the Centre for Manuscript and Text Cultures at The Queen's College in the University of Oxford. ‘Manuscript and Text Cultures’ describes a phenomenon that begins when handwritten manuscripts start to circulate more widely and knowledge transmission becomes increasingly text centred and no longer a predominantly oral exercise. The focus of the Centre lies on examining material aspects of writing and text production, including inscriptions, as well as transmission and the interface between the oral and the written, across pre-modern literate societies.
