  • Nothing but Sounds, Ink-Marks”—Is Nothing Hidden? Must Everything Be Transparent?
    Final version published in the Yearbook of the Danish Philosophy Association, 2018 “Nothing but sounds, ink-marks”—Is nothing hidden? Must everything be transparent? Paul Standish (UCL Institute of Education) Abstract Is there something that lies beneath the surface of our ordinary ways of speaking? Philosophy sometimes encourages the all-too-human thought that reality lies just outside our ordinary grasp, hidden beneath the surface of our experience and language. The present discussion concentrates initially on a few connected paragraphs of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations (particularly ##431-435). Wittgenstein leads the reader to the view that meaning is there in the surface of the expression. Yet how adequate is Wittgenstein’s treatment of the sounds and ink-marks, the materiality of the sign? With some reference to Emerson, Stanley Cavell, and Jacques Derrida, my discussion explores how far a more adequate account of the sign can coincide with the claim that nothing is hidden. It exposes phony obsessions with transparency, which in a culture of accountability have had a distorting effect on education and the wider social field. It endorses confidence in the reality of ordinary words. Keywords Language, reality, expression, Wittgenstein, Emerson, Cavell, Derrida I want to pursue the alleged error of thinking that there must be something that lies beneath the surface of our ordinary ways of speaking about our reactions and responses to the world. A popular form of this is found when you are talking to someone and they say in response: “Just wait a minute while I process what you have said.” They are not, as their language more or less makes clear, quite reasonably telling you that they want to think over what you have said: they are informing you of a mental operation, a brain process that needs to be carried out before they can answer.1 There are 1 Such a response is familiar enough.

  • Modern Families
    1 Trends Shaping Education 2014 Spotlight 6 Modern Families Families in the OECD are changing. The nuclear family – mother and father, married with children –is becoming less common. The number of reconstituted and single- parent households is rising, families are becoming smaller and individuals are deciding to have children later in life, or not at all. Education plays an important role in supporting these modern families as well as traditional ones, and ensuring that learning needs are met for all. Love then Marriage? Over the past 40 years, marriage rates in OECD countries have fallen dramatically, from 8 marriages per 1 000 people in 1970 to only 5 in 2010. As can be seen in Figure 1, the decrease in marriage rates has been particularly pronounced in countries like Hungary, Portugal and Slovenia, where marriage rates declined by more than half in that time (OECD, 2011a). Furthermore, the average age of first marriage (29.7) has risen above the average age of first childbirth (27.7), signalling that more people now have children without getting married (OECD, 2014a). In the same time period, the average divorce rate in the OECD doubled from 1.2 divorces per 1 000 people to 2.4. This has led to a higher number of single-parent and step-parent families. Figure 1: Number of marriages by 1000 people in 1970 and 2010, by country 2010 1970 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Source: OECD (2014), OECD Family Database, OECD, Paris (www.oecd.org/social/family/database) Spotlight 6.

  • Gothic Taxonomies: Heredity and Sites of Domestication in Nineteenth-Century British Fiction
    GOTHIC TAXONOMIES: HEREDITY AND SITES OF DOMESTICATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH FICTION By Elizabeth M. Pellerito A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English 2012 ABSTRACT GOTHIC TAXONOMIES: HEREDITY AND SITES OF DOMESTICATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH FICTION By Elizabeth M. Pellerito This project reads the ways in which systems of taxonomy and gothic novels, when read together, chart the history of nineteenth-century theories of heredity. By pitting Enlightenment empiricist and rationalist thought against gothic novels, literary critics have posited the two fields as diametrically opposed entities. However, I argue here that the gothic novel translates naturalists’ and taxonomists’ questions about species, applying them to the social, political and biological structure of the human family. The central term of the project, “gothic taxonomy,” refers to the moments in each of these disciplines, and in the exchanges between them, that describe failed systematizations, the simultaneous necessity and impossibility of nineteenth- century attempts to encapsulate the laws of hereditary transmission in a single set of natural laws. By reading taxonomy as a process with social and political consequences, this project provides much-needed nuance to the often reductive critical debates about hereditarians and their foes during the nineteenth century. Revising and complicating these notions forces us to rethink the gothic as a discourse that is merely oppositional in nature, existing only to challenge the narratives of Enlightenment. Reading the gothic as an interpretive model that actively unpacks the inconsistencies of systematization, rather than simply as a reactionary celebration of the irrational or the subconscious, allows us to read it as a discourse with a real contribution of its own to make to scientific debates about the biological and social role of heredity during the period.
