Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • Losing an Empire, Losing a Role?: the Commonwealth Vision, British Identity, and African Decolonization, 1959-1963
    LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 By Emily Lowrance-Floyd Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey . Dr. Katherine Clark . Dr. Dorice Williams Elliott . Dr. Elizabeth MacGonagle . Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 6, 2012 ii The Dissertation Committee for Emily Lowrance-Floyd certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 . Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Date approved: April 6, 2012 iii ABSTRACT Many observers of British national identity assume that decolonization presaged a crisis in the meaning of Britishness. The rise of the new imperial history, which contends Empire was central to Britishness, has only strengthened faith in this assumption, yet few historians have explored the actual connections between end of empire and British national identity. This project examines just this assumption by studying the final moments of decolonization in Africa between 1959 and 1963. Debates in the popular political culture and media demonstrate the extent to which British identity and meanings of Britishness on the world stage intertwined with the process of decolonization. A discursive tradition characterized as the “Whiggish vision,” in the words of historian Wm. Roger Louis, emerged most pronounced in this era. This vision, developed over the centuries of Britain imagining its Empire, posited that the British Empire was a benign, liberalizing force in the world and forecasted a teleology in which Empire would peacefully transform into a free, associative Commonwealth of Nations.

  • The Violences of Men: David Peace's 1974
    The violences of men: David Peace’s 1974 The violences of men: David Peace’s 1974 THE VIOLENCES OF MEN: DAVID PEACE’S 1974 Ian Cummins: Salford University [email protected] Dr Martin King: Manchester Metropolitan University [email protected] A revised version of this paper was published CULTURE, SOCIETY & MASCULINITIES, VOLUME 6 ISSUE 1, SPRING 2014, PP. 91–108 1 | P a g e The violences of men: David Peace’s 1974 This article examines representations of hegemonic masculinity and the resultant “violences of men” in the context of literature on representations of men and masculinities and representations of policing in TV and films. Using bricolage as a theoretical hub, an analysis is made of hegemonic masculinity at work in the film 1974 (produced by Channel Four and Screen Yorkshire in 2005) based on the first of the novels from David Peace’s Red Riding quartet. An ex- amination of three of the film’s characters—a “young turk” journalist, an old- school Detective Inspector, and a criminal entrepreneur—and the ways in which they are drawn together in a plot which centres on violence and corruption, provides examples of the adaptive nature of hegemonic masculinity and the centrality of power and violence to this concept. The value of examin- ing the past in relation to the present is also addressed. Keywords: hegemonic masculinity, David Peace, bricolage, Red Riding Quartet (1999-2002) O’Sullivan (2005) has argued that it is difficult to tell what the real life impact of screen portrayals of policing have.

  • October 2019 PAPER 6: BRITISH POLITICAL HISTORY SINCE 1880
    1 October 2019 PAPER 6: BRITISH POLITICAL HISTORY SINCE 1880 Sources clockwise from top left: United Ireland, The British Library, Jeff Johnston, Tony Withers, Imperial War Museum. FACULTY READING LIST AND LIST OF CORE AND SURVEY LECTURES Between 1880 and the beginning of the twenty-first century, the United Kingdom became a full political democracy based on universal suffrage, and witnessed major party-political realignments as well as the rise of social rights, identity politics and new non-governmental movements. The UK also experienced civil war (in Ireland, 1916-1923 and in Northern Ireland from 1972 to 1998), total war (in 1914-18 and 1939-45), and the loss of a global empire. Throughout the period there was a vigorous debate on the role of the state and the freedom of the markets in a globalized and deeply unequal economic system. This 1 2 was accompanied by struggles over what it meant to be a citizen of the United Kingdom and who had the right to belong. All had profound political consequences, although these have not always been immediately obvious. The party system and much of the constitution remains in place, parliamentary democracy has survived the challenges of Fascism and Communism apparently unscathed, and politicians have spent much of the past hundred years congratulating themselves on the country’s remarkable capacity to ‘return to normal’ in the aftermath of major crises. Many recent or on-going political controversies, such as devolution, the future of the House of Lords, or Britain’s relationship with Europe have obvious parallels with late Victorian debates.

I am particularly grateful to the many liaisons who shared their stories, thoughts, and time with me so generously, along with their courage, warmth and friendship. I would also like to acknowledge my committee members, Francis Vavrus, Michael Goh, and my co-advisors Gerald Fry and Peter Demerath, who each in their own way contributed immensely to this study. I am particularly grateful to Peter, who took me under his wing as I moved into the dissertation process and showed unfailing patience, encouragement, just the right amount of genuine ethnographic interest to inspire me to challenge myself to do better during a long and often winding journey. I would also like to acknowledge my former committee member Richard Nunneley, who told me before he passed away in 2010 that if I thought anthropology was hard, I should try philosophy – and then encouraged me to do so.

  • Subversive Merit: the Revision of the Classical Clever Slave As Witty Servant and Social Satirist in the Comedies of Ben Jonson
    SUBVERSIVE MERIT: THE REVISION OF THE CLASSICAL CLEVER SLAVE AS WITTY SERVANT AND SOCIAL SATIRIST IN THE COMEDIES OF BEN JONSON A dissertation presented by Cory Grewell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August, 2008 1 SUBVERSIVE MERIT: THE REVISION OF THE CLASSICAL CLEVER SLAVE AS WITTY SERVANT AND SOCIAL SATIRIST IN THE COMEDIES OF BEN JONSON A dissertation presented by Cory Grewell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Northeastern University, August, 2008 2 Abstract This dissertation argues that the key to Jonson’s revision of the classical comic paradigm is his employment of an unsettled and subversive English servant figure, derived literarily from the clever slave that is at the heart of the action in classical comedies, and employed by Jonson as an on-stage satirist. This character’s literary inheritance from the classical clever slave and his relationship to the contemporary stereotype of the English servant figure are explored in detail. The dissertation goes on to analyze the ways that Jonson uses these servant figures to expose and ridicule vices specific to the social contexts of each of the comedies that it surveys. The analysis draws attention to cultural, economic and political currents in Elizabethan and Jacobean London and attempts to demonstrate how Jonson’s situating of what I call the satiric servant within a staged contemporary social milieu works to critique the social vices of his time.

  • Conservative Party Leadership Strategy and the Legacy of Thatcherite Conservatism, 1997-2005
    Conservative Party Leadership Strategy and the Legacy of Thatcherite Conservatism, 1997-2005 A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Richard Hayton Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2008 Acknowledgements Doctoral studies are wasted on PhD students. It is a great privilege to spend three (or even four!) years of one's life in academic self-indulgence, an honour not fully appreciated until one re-emerges, slightly bleary-eyed, back into the real world. It is an even greater privilege to get paid for it. For that I am most grateful to the anonymous referees at the University of Sheffield, who deemed a proposal on contemporary conservatism of sufficient value to award me a University Studentship, ahead, I suspect, of much more worthy applications. Sarah Cooke was instrumental in putting together the original funding application whilst I was thousands of miles away, and I am most grateful for her hard-work then and for all of her assistance since. Friends and colleagues in the Department of Politics at Sheffield have helped to make it a most conducive place to pursue postgraduate study. Too numerous to list in full here, those that spring to mind particularly include (in alphabetical order) Craig Berry, Matt Bishop, Dion Curry, Glenn Gottfried, Carissa Honeywell, Olalla Linares Segade, Vas Leontitsis, Robert McIlveen, Tim Montgomerie, Andrew Mumford, Bona Muzaka, Michael Neu, Ben Richardson, Louise Strong, and Adam White. Mike Kenny has been an invaluable intellectual support over the past three years, both directly through his comments on sections of this thesis, and much more widely through the other research projects we have pursued together.

  • The Dilemmas of Ethnic Privilege: a Comparison of Constructions Of
    02 Johnson (JB/D) 14/5/02 2:40 pm Page 163 ARTICLE Copyright © 2002 SAGE Publications (London,Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi) Vol 2(2): 163–188 [1468-7968(200206)2:2;163–188;023655] The dilemmas of ethnic privilege A comparison of constructions of ‘British’,‘English’and ‘Anglo- Celtic’identity in contemporary British and Australian political discourse CAROL JOHNSON Adelaide University,Australia ABSTRACT There has been considerable political debate regarding the con- struction of ‘British’ and ‘English’ identity. This article examines the views of British political leaders Blair, Hague and Duncan Smith. It argues that a comparison with Australian political debates over the construction of ‘Anglo-Celtic’ and national identity can be particularly helpful. The Australian experience draws attention to the need to consider diasporic constructions of ‘Britishness’; reinforces the need to address the colonial implications of mainstream British identity; and emphasizes the dangers posed by conservative mobilizations of traditional ethnic identities in response to ‘modernizing’ projects by Labour governments. Both the British and Australian debates reveal the dilemmas posed by powerful ethnic identities whose privilege is under threat. KEYWORDS Blair G ethnicity G Hague G Howard G Keating INTRODUCTION In recent years there has been an explosion of popular journalism and writing discussing ‘Britishness’ and ‘Englishness’ (for example, Alibhai- Brown, 2000a; Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain, 2000; Heffer, 1999; Hitchens, 2000; Paxman, 1999; Scruton, 2000a, 2000b).1 Simi- larly, in Australia, there has been considerable interest in issues of Anglo- Celtic identity (Dixson, 1999; Hage, 1998; Johnson, 2000; Partington, 1997; Stratton, 1998).

  • Summer 2017 CARNEGIE REPORTER
    Volume 9 / Number 1 Spring | Summer 2017 CARNEGIE REPORTER CARNEGIE REPORTER 1 WELCOME TO THE CARNEGIE REPORTER Fostering a Culture of Knowledge At the end of the Cold War, the promises of globalization seemed to offer a rosy picture of the near future. The actual lifting of borders (in Europe) and the virtual lifting of borders (via the Internet) would usher in a new period of free trade, open-source technology, unrestricted movement of peoples, economic prosperity, and the spread of democratic ideals worldwide. A quarter century later, though, some hard realities have emerged to challenge many aspects of this bold scenario. Today economic growth primarily benefits a small minority of the uber-wealthy, technology has facilitated the rise of hyper-individualism and extremism, and our politics are increasingly populist in nature. We live now in the era of Brexit, border walls, and, according to the founder of Twitter, an Internet that is “broken.” As Michael Ignatieff observes in these pages, what’s unfolding today is a “ferocious national and local and regional defense of particularity—language, culture, religion, faith—against the forces of globalization.” Can this reactionary impulse be reversed? Carnegie Corporation of New York is known largely for its support of research around education, democracy, and international peace and security, but a culture of knowledge cannot be built on facts alone. This core belief—that the advancement of understanding comes from deliberate scientific and critically humanistic endeavors—has historically been a linchpin of work supported by the Corporation. Perhaps a willingness to explore the world we live in more carefully (not to mention our own perceptions of that world) could provide an antidote to our age of anxiety and alienation? And so we dedicate this issue of the Carnegie Reporter to the goal of fostering a culture of knowledge in the Carnegie tradition.
