Results of apr 3 preliminary editorial meeting. Incorporated in outline for contributers and timeline.
  • Aim is to produce  a book on transmitting contentious heritages with the arts with is honest! Rather than a promotional exercise. We should totally dismiss an attitude like: oh, we had to do this crappy book because of the Horizon 2020 regulations. No: Lets make a honest book!
  • Open editorial process as an opportunity to reflect honestly about and across TRACES. Create an open plattform where this is possible - because it's needed. Using basecamp, but also emails and skype and even f2f (MTM, Review mtg)
  •  the name of the new basecamp "manual shop floor": a metaphor
  • Assure everyone that the open editorial process is about discussion, not just proofreading and admin!
  • Hopefully new questions will emerge from the process, better questions which help us think together
  • Remember: book has potentially longeviti beyond TRACES funding if its substantial
  • Make sure responsibilities are clear. First open participation, at some point consolidation.
  • Book as exhibit in the final exhibition ;)?
  • Discussion on role of media in heritage field. heritage as spectacle. Interesting: CCP3 press conference (how to make news out of old death masks? "performing heritage?", construct legitimate speaker, critical evaluation, notion of expert)
  • brainstorm other titles - seeking traces? finding traces? scouting traces?
