  • 1 REITH LECTURES 1954: Britain and the Tide of World Affairs
    REITH LECTURES 1954: Britain and the Tide of World Affairs Oliver Franks Lecture 1: Britain and the Tide of World Affairs 1 TRANSMISSION: 7 November 1954 - Home Service These lectures give me a chance to talk about some opinions which have formed themselves in my mind about Britain and its future, opinions that have come to me mainly as a result of my tour of duty as British Ambassador in Washington. I was there for four-and-a-half years, half the time since the end of the Second World War. I was in continuous contact with the American Administration and the American people, as I explained and advocated British policies and actions. In return, American views and feelings were continuously impressed upon me. This life of incessant discussion and argument made me think afresh about a great many things: in particular, it caused me to reflect on Britain. I encountered such a variety of views on where the tide of world affairs was taking us. Some of the judgements were pessimistic, some were optimistic, most were friendly, but nearly all were different from my own assumptions. I was forced to try to think out my own position more clearly. And I have gone on with this attempt since I came home and resumed my ordinary life. This is the origin of the opinions I want to put before you. They claim no authority: they express no official view. But I believe them to be true and their subject is important. I should like to persuade you of their truth and urgency.

  • A Runaway World Edmund Leach Lecture 1: Men and Nature
    REITH LECTURES 1967: A Runaway World Edmund Leach Lecture 1: Men and Nature TRANSMISSION: 12 November 1967 – Radio 4 Men have become like gods. Isn’t it about time that we understood our divinity? Science offers us total mastery over our environment and over our destiny, yet instead of rejoicing we feel deeply afraid. Why should this be? How might these fears be resolved? In the last analysis fear is always fear of the unknown, the threat of confusion. But this threat has many faces which alter as we change our talk. At one level, in public affairs, we call it the problem of law and order’; at another we see it as ‘class struggle’ or racial violence’ or ‘the ill discipline of youth’; but deeper still, in our private feelings, we worry about attitudes —the problems which are conjured up by words like ‘detachment ‘, ‘objectivity’, ‘alienation’. All these expressions share a common element, a seedbed of fear: that common element is separation. It is all part of a game which we were taught as children, the trick of language which takes people apart and puts them in their proper place. By using names we can put each of the countless things in the world into its proper box, separate, by itself. Living things are different from dead things, animals are different from plants, men from apes, adults from children, white men from black men, workers from bosses, myself from others. Words order our experience by keeping things apart. But this kind of order quickly leads to a sense of helplessness: for what am I but yet another single, lonely, isolated thing at the mercy of all the rest? But if we were not human and helpless, we should be divine and omnipotent.

  • The Language Web Jean Aitchison Lecture 4: a Web of Words
    REITH LECTURES 1996: The Language Web Jean Aitchison Lecture 4: A Web of Words TRANSMISSION: 27 February 1996 – BBC Radio 4 Dean Farrar, a respected 19th century intellectual, once eavesdropped on some apple pickers. “I once listened for a long time to the conversation of three peasants who were gathering apples among the boughs of an orchard. And as far as I could conjecture, the whole number of words they used did not exceed 100,” he guessed. They managed with this low number, he suggested, because “the same coarse expletives recurred with a horrible frequency in the place of every single part of speech.” Dean Farrar, like numerous others, grossly underestimated the number of words known by native speakers of English, or any language. Words are the topic of today’s lecture. The Language Web is the title of all these lectures and the human word store, with its multitude of links, is perhaps the most truly web-like of all aspects of language - even though up till recently both the size and the importance of the internal dictionary, or mental lexicon, has been underestimated. A false but popular view is that the size of a person’s lexicon is about two-thirds of Shakespeare’s vocabulary whose plays contain around 30,000 different words. But far more words exist now than in Shakespeare’s time and many speakers probably know twice as many as he did. An educated native speaker of English knows at least 50,000 words, according to our best guestimates. The word “know” refers to “potentially active vocabulary”, that is, words which could be used spontaneously, even though words such as igloo, gladioli, or trombone, might occur only occasionally.

  • Public Inquiries and the Limits of Justice in Northern Ireland
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 26, Issue 4 2002 Article 10 The Government of Memory: Public Inquiries and the Limits of Justice in Northern Ireland Angela Hegarty∗ ∗ Copyright c 2002 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Government of Memory: Public Inquiries and the Limits of Justice in Northern Ireland Angela Hegarty Abstract The purpose of this Article is to examine the exercise and the usefulness of the public inquiry model, in the Northern Ireland conflict. This Article examines its role as both an accountability mechanism and a truth process, and in doing so I consider the proposition that public inquiries are employed by governments not as a tool to find truth and establish accountability for human rights violations, but as a way of deflecting criticism and avoiding blame. THE GOVERNMENT OF MEMORY: PUBLIC INQUIRIES AND THE LIMITS OF JUSTICE IN NORTHERN IRELAND Angela Hegarty* INTRODUCTION That States commit violations of human rights is an undeni- able, if much denied, truth. These violations are often not offi- cially acknowledged until some time after they have been carried out, and the complete account of such violations may not emerge until the regime responsible has been removed from power. The events and the acts complained of are often denied by the State responsible until it is obliged, sometimes as a result of a political settlement, to submit to an investigation. Much of the dialogue about how to address such violations has therefore been in the context of transitional justice or of societies emerg- ing from conflict.

  • Individual Responsibility of Ministers: an Outline of the Issues
    The Individual Responsibility of Ministers: An Outline of the Issues Research Paper 96/27 21 February 1996 The individual responsibility of ministers is a vital aspect of accountable and democratic Parliamentary government, yet it is a 'convention' which is difficult to define with certainty and which, to a large degree, depends on the circumstances of each individual case. This Paper seeks to explore, in general terms, the subject as a whole and several interesting examples from the era of Crichel Down in 1954 onwards to illustrate the issue. It does not seek to provide a comprehensive analysis of ministerial responsibility (including collective responsibility) or Parliamentary accountability. Barry K Winetrobe Janet Seaton Home Affairs Section Reference and Reader Services Section House of Commons Library Summary Individual ministerial responsibility is an important if complex constitutional issue. It is often described as a constitutional convention, and this Paper examines its nature in that context, and in relation to collective responsibility and in the light of developments such as the growth of select committees, the development of Next Steps agencies and quangos, and the publication in 1992 of Questions of procedure for Ministers. The nature of individual responsibility in action is described briefly, including aspects short of a ministerial resignation or dismissal. The interesting, if short, debate on ministerial responsibility on 12 February 1996 is considered. A number of modern examples of situations where individual responsibility could be said to have arisen are examined, purely to illustrate various aspects of the 'convention'. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list. It covers significant episodes such as Crichel Down in 1954 (in which Sir David Maxwell Fyfe set out what is often regarded as the classic statement of the traditional doctrine), the Falklands (1982) and Westland (1986), and includes instances where resignation demands were successfully restricted such as Court Line (1975) and the Maze Prison escape (1983).

  • Austerity, Affluence and Discontent: Britain, 1951-1979
    Austerity, Affluence and Discontent: britain, 1951-1979 Part 5: “The civilised society” - changing attitudes to authority in the 1950s and 1960s Source 1: Striking workers at the British Leyland car plant, Oxford, in the 1970s 2 Austerity, Affluence and Discontent 1951-1979: Part 5 Did the UK become a more ‘permissive society’ during the 1950s and 1960s? Attitudes towards authority The 1968 film If… showed the strict and traditional workings of a boys’ boarding school. Unlike earlier films which used this as the setting for a story about how great the UK had been in the past, the film’s director Lindsay Anderson intended to convey a different message. The climax of the film features a rebel group of boys attacking the school’s Founder’s Day assembly with machine guns and hand grenades. This reflects a change in people’s attitudes towards the elite who ran the country during the 1950s and 1960s – many stopped taking their leaders so seriously and began to question whether or not they were making the right decisions for the people of the UK. 1) What was ‘The Establishment’? ‘The Establishment’ were the privileged elite in UK society who shared similar public school backgrounds or went to Oxbridge. This was sometimes called the ‘old school tie’ network. They were the aristocracy, barristers and High Court judges, high-ranking civil servants and diplomats, Anglican bishops and officers in the Armed Forces. Members of this elite group dominated the Conservative governments of the 1950s and 1960s. Harold Macmillan’s Cabinet included six titled aristocrats and Alec Douglas-Home’s Cabinet had ten Etonians, and out of twenty-three ministers, only three had not been to a public school.1 The old class system based on wealth and inherited titles, defending old-fashioned ideas like imperialism or the importance of the arts rather than science and technology, seemed much less relevant to the UK in the 1950s.

  • Terrible Rage)
    JCDE 2018; 6(1): 15–39 Dan Rebellato* Nation and Negation (Terrible Rage) https://doi.org/10.1515/jcde-2018-0009 Abstract: The aftermath of the Brexit referendum has revealed a deeply divided Britain, with anger on both sides and seemingly little desire to seek compromise or mutual understanding. Remainers denounce Leavers as ignorant bigots. Lea- vers denounce Remainers as metropolitan elitists. Theresa May went even further, characterizing supporters of open borders and free movement as ‘citizens of nowhere’ whose lack of attachment to nation suggests they simply don’t under- stand what citizenship means. Given the UK’s regional correlation between high levels of theatregoing and high support for Remain, this is a challenge for theatre- makers and scholars. One strong feature of contemporary British playwriting is a detachment from place; in numerous recent plays, place is estranged, unspeci- fied, annulled, orphaned, globalized, generalized, combined, relativized and scenographically anonymized. Does this represent an absence of nation? No, because this would be to accept the rigid oppositions of the Leave campaign between nations and open borders, between the local and the global. Instead, there is a restless deconstructive movement within the very identification of nation that moves to transcend it and this is captured and embodied in the heterotopic ambiguities of the spatially specific performance of the placeless play. Keywords: theatre, playwriting, dramaturgy, Brexit, European Union, space, place, nation, state, globalization, heterotopia, David Goodhart, Dani Rodrik, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jeremy Bentham, Michel Foucault, Joanne Tompkins Caryl Churchill can tell the future. Top Girls was a magnificent commentary on the 1980 s, written at the beginning, not the end, of the decade.
