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.

  • Telling the Truth About Class
    TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT CLASS G. M. TAMÁS ne of the central questions of social theory has been the relationship Obetween class and knowledge, and this has also been a crucial question in the history of socialism. Differences between people – acting and knowing subjects – may influence our view of the chances of valid cognition. If there are irreconcilable discrepancies between people’s positions, going perhaps as far as incommensurability, then unified and rational knowledge resulting from a reasoned dialogue among persons is patently impossible. The Humean notion of ‘passions’, the Nietzschean notions of ‘resentment’ and ‘genealogy’, allude to the possible influence of such an incommensurability upon our ability to discover truth. Class may be regarded as a problem either in epistemology or in the philosophy of history, but I think that this separation is unwarranted, since if we separate epistemology and the philosophy of history (which is parallel to other such separations characteristic of bourgeois society itself) we cannot possibly avoid the rigidly-posed conundrum known as relativism. In speak- ing about class (and truth, and class and truth) we are the heirs of two socialist intellectual traditions, profoundly at variance with one another, although often intertwined politically and emotionally. I hope to show that, up to a point, such fusion and confusion is inevitable. All versions of socialist endeavour can and should be classified into two principal kinds, one inaugurated by Rousseau, the other by Marx. The two have opposite visions of the social subject in need of liberation, and these visions have determined everything from rarefied epistemological posi- tions concerning language and consciousness to social and political attitudes concerning wealth, culture, equality, sexuality and much else.

  • Infamous British Criminals Lesson Plan
    My FavouritesInfamous British Criminals Lesson Plan Lesson Pl By Louise Delahay Warm-Up (10 minutes) Ask the class What British criminals have you heard of? Tell them that these could be figures from history. Welcome all suggestions. Ask students to tell the class what they know about any of these criminals.. Reading Practice (10 minutes) Tell students they are going to read a text about four infamous British criminals. They should read the text quickly first and answer the question. Did the earlier lives of the men indicate that they would later become criminals? Check with the class. Answer Key: Dick Turpin – yes; the Kray Twins – to some extent; Guy Fawkes – no Ask students to answer the questions which follow the reading text individually. When they have finished compare answers as a whole class. Check with the answer key. Photocopiable © Pearson Italia Grammar Focus (10 minutes) Write the following examples on the board and ask the questions: Prior to their conviction, the brothers had owned a snooker club. What is the tense used? Why this tense? Answer: Past perfect, because it refers to an event which happened before the time in the past being described (draw this diagram for the students if it’s useful) Future Future owned a snooker club PASTPAST convicted Present n He had been guarding the gunpowder when he was discovered. What is this tense? Why is it used? Answer: Past perfect continuous, because it describes a longer action which was being done up to the point in the past being described. PAST Future guarding the gunpowder Guy Fawkes was discovered Present Elicit the form: past perfect = had + past participle past perfect continuous = had been + present participle (-ing) You can also note that sometimes, when two past events are described in the order in which they happened, the second example does not generally need to use past perfect.

  • 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.
