  • A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets…
    PULP A Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets… A FILM BY Florian Habicht STARRING Jarvis Cocker / Nick Banks / Candida Doyle / Steve Mackey / Mark Webber Running time: 90 mins. Certificate: TBC • LOGLINE Dylan said ‘Don’t look back’ - but what happens if you do? • SYNOPSIS PULP A film about life, death & supermarkets… Sheffield, 1988, ‘The Day That Never Happened’. Following a disastrous farewell show in their hometown, PULP move to London in search of success. They find fame on the world stage in the 1990’s with anthems including ‘Common People’ and ‘Disco 2000’. 25 years (and 10 million album sales) later, they return to Sheffield for their last UK concert: what could go wrong? Giving a career best performance exclusive to the film, the band share their thoughts on fame, love, mortality - & car maintenance. Director Florian Habicht (Love Story) weaves together the band’s personal offerings with dream-like specially-staged tableaux featuring ordinary people recruited on the streets of Sheffield. Unveiling the deep affection that the inhabitants of Sheffield have for PULP, and the formative effect the town has had on the band’s music (& front-man Jarvis Cocker’s lyrics in particular) PULP is a music-film like no other – by turns funny, moving, life- affirming & (occasionally) bewildering. • DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT When my film Love Story was invited to screen at the London Film Festival in 2012, my first though was who could I invite? I thought about all the people from the UK who had inspired me, and on an impulse started writing the following email: Hello Jarvis, Hope this finds you well.

  • Britpop's Common People – National Identity, Popular Music and Young
    Britpop's Common People – National identity, popular music and young people in the 1990's Claudia Lueders Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Royal Holloway, University of London 18th November 2016 Declaration of Authorship I (Claudia Lueders) hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 | P a g e Britpop's Common People – National identity, popular music and young people in the 1990's Abstract: The thesis discusses the significance of Britpop’s representation of British identity for British youth and their attitude towards British identity in the 1990’s. Taking issue with the dominant academic critique of Britpop as an ‘assertion of white, male, heterosexual Englishness’ (Bennett and Stratton, 2010, p.6; Percival, 2010; Hawkins, 2010; Whiteley, 2010) the thesis argues that Britpop’s representation of national identity was more complex and ambiguous than previously suggested by academia and that Britpop’s positive attitude towards Britain and its nostalgic image of British identity needs to be interpreted as a cultural critique of social, economic and political changes in the United Kingdom in the 90s. The concepts of ‘Imagined communities’ (Anderson, 1983) and of ‘Banal nationalism’ (Billig, 1995) are used as a starting point to explore the significant role of young people and popular music for the construction and reproduction of national identity. Drawing on a qualitative textual analysis of Britpop lyrics, album reviews, and mainstream media coverage alongside data collected from qualitative interviews/surveys with musicians, PR agents, journalists, and fans, it also discusses how national identity is constructed and maintained through cultural references in popular music and related media discourses.

  • By Kate Hennig
    BY KATE HENNIG 30 AUG – 29 SEP 2019 Ensemble Theatre acknowledges the Cammeraigal people of the Eora nation as customary owners of the land on which we work and share our stories. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. WELCOME Kate Hennig’s extraordinary play bridges the gap between a historical drama with contemporary relevance. The characters in THE LAST WIFE suddenly spring to life with real thoughts, feelings, ambitions, humour. We are in the prescience of real people surviving not just politically and royally, but within a family circle. The danger of Kate Parr’s drive is not just to negotiate a way forward but to instinctively learn to read her husband, King and ruler. I am thrilled to have been transported to this world with this wonderful cast and marvel at the ways we haven’t changed much in the last 500 plus years. Mark Kilmurry Artistic Director SYNOPSIS Through a richly provocative contemporary lens, witness the reimagining of the dangerous sparring between Henry VIII and Katherine Parr. This obligatory marriage is rife with the threat of danger and lure of deceit; Kate’s secret liaisons with Thom, her husband’s former brother-in-law; and devotion to the education and equal rights of Henry’s daughters could lead to her becoming another statistic on the infamous King’s growing list of dead wives. Does Kate follow her heart and risk her life to stand for her convictions, or will she succumb to the might of Henry’s increasing paranoia?

  • Climate Change and Social Justice: an Evidence Review
    REPORT CLIMATE CHANGE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE: AN EVIDENCE REVIEW Ian Preston, Nick Banks, Katy Hargreaves, Aleksandra Kazmierczak, Karen Lucas, Ruth Mayne, Clare Downing and Roger Street This report assesses current research into the social justice aspects of the impacts of climate change in the UK, and of policy and practice to mitigate and adapt to those impacts. The social justice implications of climate change are not well understood in the UK context. To support the development of socially just responses to climate change this review draws together current research and thinking in this emerging field. The report: • begins by exploring the theoretical basis of climate justice developing a ‘conceptual model’ which maps the climate justice space; • analyses evidence from the perspective of two dimensions of justice: ‘distributional’ and ‘procedural’; • considers direct and indirect impacts of climate change on UK populations and the policy and practice of adaptation to those impacts; • examines aspects of UK policy to mitigate climate change by bringing down carbon emissions identifying where the costs and benefits of these policies fall; • considers the implications of the social justice perspective for policy and practice; and • identifies evidence gaps where further work is needed.
