content: This folder and its subfolder contain material related to Karp and Kratz's project with Rockefeller Foundation colleagues from 2000 to 2006. The project began with the name "Museums and Global Public Spheres" and convened three regional planning workshops (New York in Sept 2000, Buenos Aires in June 2001, Cape Town in August 2001) prior to an international conference in Bellagio in July 2002. After the Bellagio conference they convened a "next generation" workshop at Emory in Atlanta in November 2002. The editorial team met immediately after the conference and then again at Bellagio in June 2003. At the editorial meeting, the name for the volume that would result was devised, Museum Frictions.

Files are organized here so that material related to the project before the Bellagio conference are in the subfolder "museums and Global PS" and material for the Bellagio conference (including planning material before the conference) and after are in
the "Bellagio" folder. The material includes lists of participants, draft invitation letters, abstracts, proposals and reports submitted to the Rockefeller Foundation as well as some versions of introductions for the book and variations on the introduction that were presented both at the meetings of the American Folklore Society in October 2005 and at the 2006 AFRICOM conference in Cape Town. Also present is a draft of Fath Ruffins' paper, which Karp and Kratz revised and edited extensively to produce the published version.
