    ‘Skewed intimacies and subcultural identities: Anne Boleyn and the expression of fealty in a social media forum’ Mickey Mayhew A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Sociology at London South Bank University Supervisors: Doctor Shaminder Takhar (Director of Studies) and Doctor Jenny Owen Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences, Department of Social Sciences & Department of Media and Cultural Studies, London South Bank University 1 Abstract The aim of this research project was the investigation of a subculture surrounding the famous Tudor queen Anne Boleyn; what that possible subculture means for those involved, and if it constituted part of a new phenomenon of female orientated online subcultures; cybersubcultures. Through the analysis of film, TV, historical literature and fiction, the research illustrates how subcultures are perpetuated through generations cyclically. The research then documents the transition from the traditional or ‘classic’ subcultural model of the 60s to the 21st century cybersubculture and fandom, suggesting a new way of thinking about subcultures in a post-subcultural age. The research suggests that the positioning of Anne Boleyn as a feminist icon/role model, based mainly on a media-mediated image, has formed a subculture which thrives on disjointed imagery and discourse in order to form a subculture of peculiarly subtle resistance. This new cybersubculture reflects the ways in which women are now able to use social media to form communities and to communicate, sharing concerns over men and marriage, all whilst percolating around the media-mediated image of Anne Boleyn as their starting point. These interactions – and the similarities they shared with the ‘classic’ subcultural style - form the data for this research project.

It replaced an oval device, which had been in use since the turn of the twentieth century, on the recommendation of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services). The portcullis probably came to be associated with the Palace of Westminster through its use, along with Tudor roses, fleurs-de-lys and pomegranates, as decoration in the rebuilding of the Palace after the fire of 1512.

    The Red Rose of Lancaster? JOHN ASHDOWN—HILL In the fifteenth century the rival houses of Lancaster and York fought the ‘Wars of the Roses’ for possession of the crown. When, in 1485, the new Tudor monarch, Henry VII, brought these wars to an end, he united, by his mam'age to Elizabeth of York, the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York, to create a new emblem and a new dynasty. Thus was born the Tudor rose. So might run a popular account, and botanists, searching through the lists of medieval rose cultivars, have even proposed identifications of the red rose of Lancaster with Rosa Gallica and the white rose of York with Rosa Alba, while the bi-coloured Tudor rose is linked to the naturally occurring variegated sport of Rosa Gallica known as ‘Rosa Mundi’ (Rosa Gallica versicolor), or alternatively, to the rather paler Rosa Damascena versicolor. It should, perhaps, be observed that Rosa Gallica, while somewhat variable in colour. is more likely to be a shade of pink than bright red, and Rosa Alba, while generally white in colour, also occurs in shades of pink, so that in nature the colour~distinction between the two roses is not always clear. ‘Rosa Mundi’ is also strictly speaking variegated in two shades of pink, rather than being literally red and white.‘ The label ‘Wars of the Roses’was a late invention, first employed only in 1829, by Sir Walter Scott, in his romantic novel Anne of Geierstein.2 The story of the rose emblems might appear on casual inspection to be well-founded, for we find ample evidence of Tudor roses bespattering Tudor coinage and royal architecture, for example, at Hampton Court, the Henry VII chapel at Westminster, and at Cambridge, on the gates of Christ’s and St John’s Colleges, and in King’s College chapel.

  • Royal Coin for Her Majesty Anna Leigh Late Medieval English Gold Coin
    Royal Coin for Her Majesty Anna Leigh Late Medieval English Gold Coin In the latter half of the 16th century, gold became abundant throughout Europe, and English gold coins became more prevalent. The increase in gold supply was primarily because of an influx of gold from the New World (via Spain), but also due to the success of English privateers. The use of gold coinage was a great boon to the Royal economy, and gold is considered a major reason for the economic success that occurred at the start of the Tudor reigns. Gold coinage was so important that most mints were not permitted to strike in gold. Whereas silver mints were scattered throughout England, gold coins came exclusively from the Tower of London. At the same time, new technology was emerging that would change minting. The screw-press replaced medieval striking techniques, providing more uniform and reliable imprints and paving the way for modern coinage. Coins from this period in England to not include minting dates, so the dating is based on coin styles and content. The die axis of these coins, like most medieval coins, is random. As the medieval period came to an end, there was a series of massive debasements in which the royalty secretly diluted the gold content of coins without changing their nominal value. This debasement resulted in a loss of trust in coinage that had been based on the inherent value of metals, and marked the end of medieval coinage. The Royal coin for HRM Anna Leigh is made of “jeweler’s gold”, a type of brass intended to have a similar color to modern gold jewelry.

She has published eXtensively on Victorian Studies and Neo-Victorianism within the framework of Utopian Studies as well as on intercultural, visual and gender issues. Her most recent publications include Performing Identities and Utopias of Belonging (co-edited with Teresa Botelho, Newcastle upon Tyne: CSP, 2013) and Matrizes Culturais: Notas para um Estudo da Era Vitoriana (Lisboa: Edições Colibri, 2014). GAUDIUM SCIENDI, Número 8, Julho 2015 98 A NOT SO SECRET GARDEN: ENGLISH ROSES, Iolanda Ramos VICTORIAN AESTHETICISM AND THE MAKING OF Universidade Nova de SOCIAL IDENTITIES Lisboa his essay seeks to draw on theories of representation so as to link the multi- signifying dimension of the garden with the language of flowers as T conveying a social and moral code, acknowledged both in the Victorian age and today, and therefore ultimately aims to revisit the making of social identities. It begins by placing the English rose within the tradition of British national symbols and proceeds to highlight how floral symbolism was widely used in the arts, focusing on a selection of Pre- Raphaelite paintings in order to show how floral imagery both sustained and subverted stereotyped female roles. It goes on to argue that floral representations were used as a means for women to recognise their "natural" place in society.

Кулакова Royal Traditions in Britain The Royal Family is one of the most signifi cant national symbols of the UK. The history of the English Crown is over a thousand years old. The role of the Monarchy in the state has changed during the long period of the his- tory. Now The Queen carries out a lot of traditional important tasks on behalf of the nation. She appoints the PM at the end of the election, summons and dissolves the Parliament, recognizes foreign states and governments, makes formal appointments to the most important offi ces of the state in the Armed Forces and churches, concludes treaties, confers peerages, knighthoods and other honours. But there are special royal occasions, taking place regularly each year. They are colourful and exciting events. The State Opening of Parliament is the most important event of the Par- liamentary year. The ceremony traditionally takes place in November or after a General Election. Before The Queen travels to Parliament from Bucking- ham Palace, certain traditional precautions are observed. A detachment of The Queen’s Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard searches the cellars of the Houses of Parliament.

  • Hosehold Cavalry
    Changing the Guard, Guarding the Change of History 1. INTRODUCTION The Queen's Guard and Queen's Life Guard are the names given to contingents of cavalry and infantry soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in London. The British Army has had regiments of both Horse Guards and Foot Guards since before the restoration of King Charles II, and, since 1660, these have been responsible for guarding the Sovereign Palaces. The Queen's Guard and Queen's Life Guard is mounted at the royal residences which come under the operating area of London District, which is responsible for the administration of the Household Division; this covers Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace and the Tower of London, as well as Windsor Castle. The Queen's Guard is also mounted at the sovereign's other official residence, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, but not as regularly as in London. In Edinburgh, the guard is the responsibility of the resident infantry battalion at Redford Barracks. It is not mounted at the Queen's private residences at Sandringham or Balmoral. The Queen's Guard is the name given to the contingent of infantry responsible for guarding Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace (including Clarence House) in London. The guard is made up of a company of soldiers from a single regiment, which is split in two, providing a detachment for Buckingham Palace and a detachment for St James's Palace. Because the Sovereign's official residence is still St James's, the guard commander (called the 'Captain of the Guard') is based there, as are the regiment's colours.
