Dear all,
does anyone in this list know what has been decided (if anything) about the new ADHO governance structure, etc.?
I've checked the ADHO website, and it seems that the last documents published (and publicly shared) date back to April 2018. For example:
https://adho.org/announcements/2018/implementation-committee-proposed-sigs-a...
I'm finishing to write an article that involves issues of cultural-linguistic diversity and political representation in DH, so I'd be grateful if someone more involved in the procees could illuminate me.
Incidentally, I found the proposed tripartion of organizations in three layers of decreasing power a sort of neo-feudal model: CO (consitituent organizations, who put the money and take the decisions), Associate Organization ("allied to ADHO"), and Affiliate Organization ("compatible aims with ADHO"). I have no doubt that in this increasingly imperial world there are and there always will be organizations and groups in search of "international visibility", and will accept to pay the price of subalternity. We see this everyday. However we're talking about a scholarly organization, not NATO, and a tripartion like this, if implemented, will inevitably reflects a caste system based on income (?), to say the least. I wonder what will be the final result of this process if not a reinforcement and widening of current unbalances and discriminations, and of course the perpetuation of the Anglophone hegemony within our field.
Statemi bene
Domenico
