The name "Aguara", according to Montoya, means "fox," and Cadogan records that the Mbyรก associate it with the jaguar, while for the Pai Tavyterรฃ, it represents one of the "terrestrial souls" (angรผรฉ) that transmigrates.

Abstract The article explores how the interplay of ideological values and technological capacities have shaped the digital bibliography of British print history. Using a misgendering in the English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) as a case study, the article explores how information flows through resources like Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO), and Early English Books Online (EEBO), library catalogues, WorldCat, and retail outlets like Amazon. The article argues that as data from the ESTC is reproduced through linked data structures, information is โauthorizedโ far beyond what a single resource would do alone or what its original authors imagined or designed. While feminist, queer, and critical race scholarship has discursively created and revised new histories of textual production, in contrast foundational resources like the ESTC perpetuate old assumptions with unfixed errors and editorial practices that render the who and the why of their metadata choices opaque. The article concludes that radical revision is necessary if we are to disrupt centuries of a white and male norm in British print history.

Scholars have invented men to explain away women's labor in the British print trades. In this ex, a misgendering travels from a catalog to WorldCat and Amazon. It shows how linked data's fragmentation perpetuates old assumptions.

We were going to call this 'A Portrait of The @invisibleeast.bsky.social Persian Team Hard at Work', but at this point on a scorching #Oxford June day it could more accurately be described as 'A Portrait of The Persian Team Hot at Work'!
(Out of sight are three fans as we try to cool the office!)
Image is a still from a film, of man in Ghur province in Afghanistan. He is seated with cushions visible in the background. The main is wearing a black and white patterned turban, with beige and black clothing. He has a black beard and is looking intently at the camera. Below is an image of a document which he helped to discover and overlaid is a teal block containing information about an event.
The @invisibleeast.bsky.social team is busy making final preparations for a hybrid film-screening and panel discussion we are hosting in #Oxford tomorrow afternoon - and you're invited!
The event will explore the ethical and practical challenges facing scholars and heritage institutions today...
