This might be the everyday meanings that humans attach to places bound up with a sense of identity and belonging. It also extends to ways that meanings of place might be created, such as through place making and marketing. Representations of places are important because of the way in which they shape peoples' actions and behaviours, and those of businesses, institutions and governments. Representations also provide a reference point for people's sense of identity, underpinning their attachments to place, particularly in times of change. Attention to meaning highlights the processes of representation through which places are depicted, variously by external agencies and by those who live in them. The meanings and identities ascribed to a place may also be related to its function, both social and economic, in the present and in the past. Places can have multiple meanings and identities, reflecting different perceptions and perspectives. Students should select one of the following topics through which to address the concepts of meaning and representation as applied to place: Place making and marketing, drawing on examples such as regional development agencies, tourist marketing, and property marketing materials.

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

  • The Literary London Journal, Volume 16.1 (Autumn 2020): 4
    Speculative Topography: The Fantastical Overdetermination of Space in Iain Sinclair’s Early Writing David Anderson (University College London) The Literary London Journal, Volume 16, Number 1 (Autumn 2020) The speed and scale of Iain Sinclair’s literary production, its constant turns and returns to the same locations and preoccupations, sometimes seems deliberately designed to ward off scholars – or, to use a term more appropriate to Sinclair’s pedestrian forays into London and its environs, to outpace them. And yet, at the same time, his work also seems to lend itself to research by depicting a city extraordinarily freighted with signification, bristling with meaning: a fantastically overdetermined space that demands explanation. This strange, even radical ambivalence, which seems to mirror Sinclair’s slyly paradoxical cultivation of an urgent pedestrianism, is in fact partly fuelled by the presence of an unconventional brand of highly eccentric scholarship within Sinclair’s own work: above all, his discovery in the early 1970s of a text entitled Prehistoric London: Its Mounts and Circles, written by Elizabeth Oke Gordon. A look at this wilfully archaic volume – which even on its original publication in 1914 must have seemed somewhat untimely – suggests ways that Sinclair’s distinctive articulation of London and his journeys through it emerged from a disorientating blend of first-hand exploration and abstruse amateur archaeology: a method built on his reading of Gordon’s arcane, speculative, even bizarre account of London’s supposed mythic topography and hidden histories. As soon becomes clear, Gordon’s ‘study’ provided a foundation stone for the later author’s own plunges into the city as both a physical and textual space.

  • Boxer Handsome; a Novel and Critical Study of Representations of Masculinities in Modern Literature
    Boxer Handsome; a novel and critical study of representations of masculinities in modern literature. Anna Whitwham Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Royal Holloway, University of London 2014 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Anna Whitwham, 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: Anna Whitwham Date: 31/08/2013 2 Acknowledgments A very special thank you to my supervisors, Andrew Motion and Robert Hampson, for all their invaluable support and guidance throughout my PhD. I would also like to thank my agent, Simon Trewin for believing in my writing. I am very grateful to Chatto &Windus for publishing my novel to my editor, Parisa Ebrahimi. 3 Abstract This thesis is a study of modern masculinities as represented in both fiction and non–fiction. It is explored through a novel, Boxer Handsome and through a critical essay. The critical essay will explore working class masculinity through an analysis of 1950s fiction, cinematic representations and factual accounts of boxers and gangsters and the performance of masculinity within sub-cultural groups. I will look at how representations of masculinity are performed within specific sub-cultural groups of men and the way language is formed as a response to social and cultural experience. The thesis will be separated into four chapters: Chapter 1. Post-1950s British fiction and cinema; Chapter 2. Fictional and factual accounts of boxers; Chapter 3. Gangsters and Violence, and Chapter 4. Representations of women in some of these cultures.

  • Prison Is Something Separate, – It Is Separated from Our Society
    General introduction I really like the word separation. But what does it really mean to separate? Is it just a clean division into two smaller pieces, or can it be something else? When speaking of architecture, prison is something separate, – it is separated from our society. The prison serves as a receptacle for the individuals that are not welcome on our streets. They separated, and we protected. Clean as that? In this pre-diploma, I am going to investigate the significance of the prison and the philosophy of imprisonment. From there, I will establish a thorough understanding of what it means to be separated from our society, and the ways to do so. From what I learn and discuss in this pre-diploma, I will design a prison for my diploma, autumn 2018. The prison will be located in Bærum, Norway. Naturally, it’s an important question why I’ve chosen Norway as a location for my prison, but there are many reasons why: First, Norway has one of the most intricate prison systems in the world. The Norwegian prison system focuses a lot on the re-integrative transitional process of the imprisoned individual back into the society. Thus, there are individuals that are totally different than other inmates, – individuals that are too mentally ill for ordinary prison, yet not showing improvement in the sector of psychiatry and mental health. These special prisoners are seen as a political dark spot because no one knows how to give the ​ ​ right treatment due to their extremely aggressive and antisocial behavior. The status quo is a life in full isolation for these individuals.
