Someone is making a recording using voice changing software to disguise the sound of their voice. Their first attempt might be something deep and almost demonic: 1. VOICE: At midnight tonight, mass deportations begin…I sound like Satan… Typing and a digital click. They try another. This time the voice might sound echoey and distant, like someone trapped in a ravine: 2. VOICE: At midnight-ight-ight-ight tonight-ight-ight-ight… (Playing with the echo) They try another. This time the voice might sound like a somewhat robotic, middle-aged man: 3. VOICE: At midnight tonight…yes, that’s it, agreed, At midnight tonight, mass deportations begin. All deaf, blind, disabled, neurodiverse, and non-English-born men and women not married… yes, that’ll do! Music ends. SCENE 2. Setting up for the Wedding Fair at St Bartholomew Exhibition and Conference Centre in London, 2032. The clatter of various stalls being set up in an otherwise empty exhibition arena. A quite boom-y, concrete acoustic – there are no people to soak up the sound yet. Two women – URSULA and ALICE – are setting up a stall offering ‘English Wives’. URSULA is trying to secure some signage. 4. URSULA: Alice, can you help me with this sign? It keeps slipping… 5. ALICE: Uh-oh. Don’t look now… A male POLICE OFFICER approaches. 6.

  • Violence and the Family
    International Anglican Family Network Promoting front-line Family Care throughout the Anglican Communion V I O L E N C E A N D T H E FA M I LY stories about the sheer breadth of child abuse, from beating and child labour to trafficking, sexual abuse and even sacrificial killing. Even so, these stories speak of hope as people bravely speak up and speak out. Workshops, projects and programmes are bubbling up through the hiddenness and stigma of family violence. Positive cultural traditions are being reclaimed and taught to the new generations. Scripture is being explored and expounded afresh. The sacredness of our children and grandchildren is being reasserted. Jesus’ words are entering more deeply into our conscience, “Whoever receives one of these, receives me”. There is hope, but there is also so much more to do. Every church, every community and every village needs to be aware and equipped to promote safe families. The second Newsletter in this three-edition series will report on IAFN’s recent regional consultation for Oceania on the theme of Violence and the Family. Hosted by the Family Centre in Lower Hutt, Aotearoa New Zealand, the consultation gathered together practitioners in family ministries from across the region.The report will describe the process of the meeting and offer it as a model action plan for any church, diocese or Province wanting to get going with the work of bringing family violence to an end. The third Newsletter will look at some of the concrete outcomes of the Oceania consultation and give examples of just some of the work being done in response to family violence, in churches and dioceses in other parts of the Anglican Communion.

  • What Can Coronation Street Tell Us About Politics?
    What can Coronation Street tell us about politics? blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/what-can-coronation-street-tell-us-about-politics/ 23/01/2017 What can the ‘everyday’ tell us about politics and political ideology? Here, Robert Topinka suggests that soap operas have much to tell us about the importance of the ‘ordinary’ to our understanding of politics. The study of politics is often the study of war, conflict, terrorism, and statecraft, of the exceptional rather than the everyday. But political identities and ideologies also take shape in the space of ordinary life, in daily routines and banal interactions. The difficulty is that the ordinary and the everyday often elude study. In a recent paper published in Politics, Alexandria Innes and I turned to popular culture as a resource for examining everyday life. We focused in particular on a 2007 storyline in Coronation Street about conflicts between English and Polish workers at a garment factory. Our interpretive coding of the 10 episodes featuring the storyline uncovered four key themes: race, gender, fear, and political agency. By continually returning to these themes without offering any resolution, the soap stages everyday life as a complex constellation of global forces, including those of globalisation and migration. The imagined world of Coronation Street supplies resources for reimagining the everyday spaces that the show’s viewers occupy. As the fictional lives of the characters on Coronation Street unfold, the soap is a space where contesting views and perspectives are aired, inviting the audience into on-going political contestation as part of their ordinary television watching routines.
