“Creation, Control, Communication: A Historical Appraisal of Privacy in Knowledge Production” is the first publication out as a result of the 2020 seminar Practices of Privacy: Knowledge in the Making, where the authors of the special issue contributions first presented their perspectives of what privacy means for knowledge production in their fields of expertise. Thea Sumalvico, Tilman Richter, Liam Benison, Cristina Sasse, Sanne de Laat, Dan Harms, and Holly Day have been working with the editors Natália da Silva Perez and Natacha Klein Käfer since then, joining online discussions in 2020 and 2021, and rounds of corrections from 2022 to the publication in 2023.
A second publication from the seminar Practices of Privacy is under production at Palgrave MacMillan, entitled Women’s Private Practices of Knowledge Production in Early Modern Europe. This book focuses on women as knowledge makers and their contentious and contingent relationships with privacy and the private in the early modern period and should come out by late 2023. A third publication resulting from the successful seminar is currently under peer review.
The seminar Practices of Privacy has since then become a series, with a second instalment in 2022 entitled Vestiges of Dialogues and its Places taking place in December 2022. The proceedings of this event are currently under negotiation for publication as well.
