2012: The Falklands Issue Erupts Again - An Opportunity for Reflection on the New South America and its Importance to Britain

Speakers:
Hal Klepak, Emeritus Professor of the Royal Canadian Military College
Professor Maxine Molyneux

The current heating up of the political and military situation in the South Atlantic area as we move closer to the 30th anniversary of the Argentine seizure of the islands in 1982 is a troubling event which might have been foreseen in the context of the major changes occurring in South America at the present time. Despite all manner of ideological and other differences among the governments of the continent, there is a level of political collaboration going on which most observers feel has never existed before. The impact of this on the international relations of the region, and specifically on the question of the Falkland Islands, is substantial and potentially worrying.

London Seminar in Digital Text and Scholarship: “Discovering and using ancient place data”

Elton Barker (Open University)

The London Seminar in Digital Text & Scholarship focuses on the ways in which the digital medium remakes the relationship of readers, writers, scholars, technical practitioners and designers to the manuscript and printed book. Its discussions are intended to inform public debate and policy as well as to stimulate research and provide a broad forum in which to present its results. Although the forum is primarily for those working in textual and literary studies, history of the book, humanities computing and related fields, its mandate is to address and involve an audience of non-specialists. Wherever possible the issues it raises are meant to engage all those who are interested in a digital future for the book.
