It is funded by a Government grant, through the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The Academy is an independent, self-governing organisation of 1,000 Fellows (with a further 300 overseas) elected for their distinction in research. The British Academy’s mission is: to inspire, recognise and support high achievement in the humanities and social sciences throughout the UK and internationally, and to champion their role and value. The British Academy’s work is shaped by six strategic priorities. 1.

On 19th April 2015 Sir Raymond Carr died aged 96. A historian and Oxford don, he specialized in the histories of Sweden, Latin America and Spain. “Though he was one of Britain’s greatest historians, Carr was far better known in Spain than in his native land”, writes Paul Preston. Arguably his finest work, Spain 1808-1939, was published in 1966 and remained a defining text on Spanish history to this day. His involvement with the country began in 1950, on the honeymoon that followed his marriage to Sara Strickland, which continued on many research trips conducted in university vacations in the 1950s and 1960s. Carr taught at Oxford from the 1960s till 1987, when on retiring he was knighted. Apart from his academic excellence Raymond Carr is also well known for his eccentricities and “racy social life”, serving behind a bar in Sweden when on vacation from Oxford in his fifties, throwing legendary parties at his Oxford home with his wife Sara.

OR, FOUR MEN IN A BATEAU (213 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Natasha Levinson, Ph. D. Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

    The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day

    The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation.

My spouse Debbie is from the Isle of Wight and we have been married for over thirty years. Debbie is a faithful member of the ‘Mothers Union’ and will be attending the General Conference in Portsmouth this year. Our two sons live and work in Bristol and our daughter lives with us and has recently been working with people with special needs. I was born in Llanddewi Brefi and began my ministry at the age of 23. I spent part of my ministry in the diocese of Bangor where I was ordained, but for the past seventeen years have ministered in this diocese, in the parish of Newcastle Emlyn. As a couple we enjoy the countryside and look forward to living near the Botanic Gardens. In my experience, walking amidst the natural melodies of the countryside and its sweet aromas is a great help to unwind and to reflective meditation; as is listening to classical music. I derive special inspiration from listening to the religious and classical music of Arvo Pärt. Last year I had the privilege of being ‘Director of Ordinands’ for the diocese. Undertaking this role has opened up a new perspective for me on ministry within the diocese and it is inspiring to be involved in supporting and encouraging new candidates for ministry.

DD-LE Records of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod 1894-2011 Extent 63 Boxes Description The company records of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, a musical festival for international choirs and dance groups held since 1947, for a week annually in July, in Llangollen, North Wales. The collection includes the records of the Friends of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, which was set up to support the festival, and the papers of W. S. Gwynn Williams, who was instrumental in founding the festival and was the Hon. Music Director of the Eisteddfod, 1947-1977. It also includes records about the festival collected externally, most by local people whose support of the Eisteddfod - as committee members, volunteers or customers - has been important to its survival. The competitors are well represented in the collection, predominantly in the promotional series in photographs, audio and visual recordings, press cuttings and publicity material. Creator: LRW Date: 24/06/2009 2 DENBIGHSHIRE RECORD OFFICE Administrative History The first Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, held in 1947, was the concept of Harold Tudor of Coedpoeth, then a member of the British Council; the concept being the creation of a festival 'to promote education, international peace and goodwill through the medium of the fine arts and in particular the art of music'.(1) After the idea for such a festival was turned down by the Welsh National Eisteddfod, Harold Tudor approached W. S. Gwynn Williams, a noted Welsh composer and music publisher, to suggest an independent festival based in Llangollen. With the help of George Northing, a teacher from Dinas Brân County School and Chairman of the local council, the idea gained the support of town residents and in 1946, organising of the festival began.

    The Spanish Civil War in Cinema David Archibald University of Glasgow Departments of Theatre, Film and Television and Hispanic9 Studies Doctoral Thesis C) [David Archibald] [February 2005] Abstract in I In this thesis I present a case study of the Spanish civil war cinema. examine how this period has been represented in cinema through time, in different countries and in various cinematic forms. I reject the postmodern prognosis that the past is a chaotic mass, made senseof through the subjective narrativisation choices of historians working in the present. On the contrary, I argue that there are referential limits on what histories can be legitimately written about the past. I argue that there are different, often contradictory, representations of the Spanish civil war in cinema which indicates a diversity of uses for the past. But there are also referential limits on what can be legitimately represented cinematically. I argue that the civil war setting will continue to be one which filmmakers turn to as the battle for the future of Spain is partially played out in the cinematically recreated battles of the past.
