The registration deadline is Monday 2 May) How we deal with the challenge of opacity has decisive influence on the kinds of government we can imagine. This special issue explores the correlations between the ways intentions are concealed and revealed, and how political regimes are created. Rather than a psychological or cultural problem, the opacity of other minds is discussed as a political issue. Contributions from Amazonia, the Kalahari, Papua New Guinea, and Southeast Asia present case studies of governing opacity, and explain them using concepts of accountability, legibility, and signposting.You can read the introduction<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00141844.2021.2007154" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00141844.2021.2007154</a>and the articles are open access here<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/retn20/0/0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/retn20/0/0</a>How do I get to the venue?The entry to the Frankopan Hall is via the reception at West Court which is directly on Jesus Lane, near to the intersection with Park Street.
