On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.

  • The English Catholic New Left: Battling the Religious Establishment and the Politics of the Cold War
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article The English Catholic New Left: Battling the Religious Establishment and the Politics of the Cold War Jay P. Corrin College of General Studies, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA; [email protected] Received: 5 March 2018; Accepted: 30 March 2018; Published: 8 April 2018 Abstract: In the 1960s there appeared in England a group of young university educated Catholics who sought to merge radical Catholic social teachings with the ideas of Karl Marx and the latest insights of European and American sociologists and literary theorists. They were known as the English Catholic New Left (ECNL). Under the inspiration of their Dominican mentors, they launched a magazine called Slant that served as the vehicle for publishing their ideas about how Catholic theology along with the Social Gospels fused with neo-Marxism could bring a humanistic socialist revolution to Britain. The Catholic Leftists worked in alliance with the activists of the secular New Left Review to achieve this objective. A major influence on the ECNL was the Marxist Dominican friar Laurence Bright and Herbert McCabe, O. P. Slant took off with great success when Sheed and Ward agreed to publish the journal. Slant featured perceptive, indeed at times brilliant, cutting-edge articles by the Catholic Left’s young Turks, including Terry Eagleton, Martin Redfern, Bernard Sharratt, and Angela and Adrian Cunningham, among others. A major target of the Slant project was the Western Alliance’s Cold War strategy of nuclear deterrence, which they saw to be contrary to Christian just war theory and ultimately destructive of humankind. Another matter of concern for the Slant group was capitalist imperialism that ravaged the underdeveloped world and was a major destabilizing factor for achieving world peace and social equality.

    ISSN 2350-109X www.indianscholar.co.in Indian Scholar An International Multidisciplinary Research e-Journal POLITICAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES IN TARIQ ALI’S NIGHT OF THE GOLDEN BUTTERFLY Basharat Shameem Research Scholar, Department of English J.S. University, Shikohabad, Uttar Pradesh, India-283135 Abstract Through its close study of Night of the Golden Butterfly by Tariq Ali, this paper makes an attempt to study how the novel offers an alternate account of Pakistan’s political and cultural history through the medium of fiction. History as a tool of reconstruction of experience used by the dominant powers is often seen to be in clash with individual reconstruction of the experience through imagination in the form of literary narratives. This query about the general nature of representation gets attached to some very debatable questions prevailing among the contemporary Pakistanis and those mainly focus on the issues of identity, culture, race, and religion. Unlike the rest of the novels in the Islam Quintet, the novel is set in the modern times narrating an account of contemporary issues pertaining to western imperialism, rise of religious fanaticism, military-mullah-feudal nexus in Pakistan, and immigrant experiences. The paper tries to show how the novel not only takes a hard look at the western imperialism for its devastating impact on the colonized world, but in a self-reflexive way, also criticizes the Muslim societies for adopting the path of self-destructive religious fundamentalism with reference to Ali’s own native country, Pakistan, referred to as “Fatherland” in the novel. Keywords: Night of the Golden Butterfly, Tariq Ali, History, Pakistan, Muslims, Culture, Fundamentalism.

Abstract Little art-historical scholarship has been dedicated to fine art responding to the British home front during the First World War. Within pre-war British society concepts of sexual difference functioned to promote masculine authority. Nevertheless in Britain during wartime enlarged female employment alongside the presence of injured servicemen suggested feminine authority and masculine weakness, thereby temporarily destabilizing pre-war values. Adopting a socio-historical perspective, this thesis argues that artworks engaging with the home front have been largely excluded from art history because of partiality shown towards masculine authority within the matrices of British society. Furthermore, this situation has been supported by the writing of art history, which has, arguably, followed similar premise.

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.

  • Prosecuting Terrorism: the Old Bailey Versus Belmarsh by Clive Walker
    Prosecuting terrorism: the Old Bailey versus Belmarsh by Clive Walker Consistent with his “war on terror” paradigm, President George W Bush asserted that “it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers” (State of the Union Address, January 20, 2004). In resonance with this view, the prime legal focus in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 was more upon Belmarsh rather than the Old Bailey – in other words, upon detention without trial and latterly on control orders rather than prosecutions. However, this era of executive action is fading in United Kingdom domestic law. The first part of this paper will examine the foundations for the reinvigoration of criminal justice. The second part will explore the present and future implications for criminal justice.

  • NEWSLETTER 2016 Letter from the Acting Chair
    HISTORY OF ART, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY ANNUAL NEWSLETTER 2016 Letter from the Acting Chair My second year as Acting Chair of the Department has been an exhilarating one, as I have become more closely acquainted with the accomplishments of a very active community of scholars who are pursuing the histories of art of differing cultures, time periods, aesthetic sensibilities, and meanings. Our traditional strengths in European, American, and Asian art have been expanded to include other traditions and global art of the modern and con- temporary periods. A quick perusal of the Department’s courses at http:// guide.berkeley.edu/courses/histart/ will introduce you to the variety. Last year at this time I knew that the faculty had reconceived the undergraduate major to be more inclusive and also more comparative, but I had not yet realized the extent to which new questions, new perspectives, and new technologies would be enlivening the intellectual interchanges among the faculty with such different specializations. Just one example: Complementing the long-time requirement, HA100 Theory and Methods of Art History that many of you will remember having taken, is a second methodology course, HA 101 Theory and Methods for a Global History of Bonnie Wade receives the Berkeley Citation at graduation in her home Art that was newly created this past year.

This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement ⓒ 2016 The University of Leeds and Sangdon Lee The right of Sangdon Lee to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ii Abstract The communal revival that began in the mid-1960s developed into a new mode of activism, ‘communal activism’ or the ‘commune movement’, forming its own politics, lifestyle and ideology. Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.
