  • GREGORY the Natures of War FINAL May 2015
    !1 The Natures of War Derek Gregory for Neil 1 In his too short life, Neil Smith had much to say about both nature and war: from his seminal discussion of ‘the production of nature’ in his first book, Uneven development, to his dissections of war in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries in American Empire – where he identified the ends of the First and Second World Wars as crucial punctuations in the modern genealogy of globalisation – and its coda, The endgame of globalization, a critique of America’s wars conducted in the shadows of 9/11. 2 And yet, surprisingly, he never linked the two. He was of course aware of their connections. He always insisted that the capitalist production of nature, like that of space, was never – could not be – a purely domestic matter, and he emphasised that the modern projects of colonialism and imperialism depended upon often spectacular displays of military violence. But he did not explore those relations in any systematic or substantive fashion. He was not alone. The great Marxist critic Raymond Williams once famously identified ‘nature’ as ‘perhaps the most complex word in the [English] language.’ Since he wrote, countless commentators have elaborated on its complexities, but few of them 1 This is a revised and extended version of the first Neil Smith Lecture, delivered at the University of St Andrews – Neil’s alma mater – on 14 November 2013. I am grateful to Catriona Gold for research assistance on the Western Desert, to Paige Patchin for lively discussions about porno-tropicality and the Vietnam war, and to Noel Castree, Dan Clayton, Deb Cowen, Isla Forsyth, Gastón Gordillo, Jaimie Gregory, Craig Jones, Stephen Legg and the editorial collective of Antipode for radically improving my early drafts.

  • The Practice and Poetics of Fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the Study of Camouflage
    The Practice and Poetics of Fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the study of camouflage. Journal of Historical Geography Abstract This paper examines the practice and poetics of the British zoologist Hugh Cott’s fieldwork in order to explore the hybrid nature of developments in biological and military camouflage. Specifically focusing on two fieldtrips conducted in the 1920s to the Amazon and the Zambesi, and by examining how Cott communicated his scientific findings through photography and art this paper reveals that the performance of scientific knowledge production is spatially contingent; born of embodied, creative and demanding experiences and through multiple human and nonhuman engagements. Finally, it examines how this knowledge was transferred and utilised to develop mid-twentieth military camouflage. Thus, this paper considers how the craft and aesthetics of fieldwork shapes how nature is observed, recorded and communicated as scientific knowledge and military technology. Keywords: fieldwork, biography, camouflage, science, art, observation 1 Hugh Cott (1900-1987) was a British zoologist, dedicated to the study of adaptive coloration in nature (or camouflage); he was also a proficient wildlife photographer, gifted technical illustrator and influential Second World War camoufleur. The relationship between Cott’s scientific-self and these other diverse and seemingly discrete aspects of his character raises interesting questions surrounding the cultural nature of knowledge production and the performance of science. In particular, Cott’s combined use of the scientific and the aesthetic to communicate the uses of biology to the military is a useful means through which to narrate the history of camouflage as an entanglement of science, art and militarism.

  • PRACTISE »DECEIVE Learning Curves of Military Deception Planners PRACTISE to DECEIVE
    PRACTISE »DECEIVE Learning Curves of Military Deception Planners PRACTISE to DECEIVE Written by the undisputed dean of U.S. denial and deception experts, Practise to Deceive is the most in-depth look at deception as a military strategy Barton Whaley knew the history of denial and deception across time, disciplines, and culture. For Whaley, deception was a mind game requiring imagination, deep critical thought, a profound understanding of one’s self as well as the enemy (a variation of Sun Tzu), and patience and fortitude. This book presents eighty-eight vividly descriptive case studies to serve as a handbook for intelligence and military professionals. In Whaley’s analysis, variations in guilefulness between opposing individuals or groups can be crucial in deciding who achieves vic­ tory in combat. BARTON WHALEY (1928-2013) received his bachelor of arts degree in Chinese studies from the University of California, Berkeley, before serving with the intelligence section of U.S. Army Psychological Warfare headquartered in Tokyo during the Korean War. Following the war he attended London University School of Oriental and African Studies before receiving his PhD at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was affiliated with the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and worked for the director of National Security’s Foreign Denial and Deception Committee of the Director of National Intelligence.

  • Issue 40 - January 2015 Editorial
    THE TIGER THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 40 - JANUARY 2015 EDITORIAL Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the latest edition of “The Tiger”. 1915 was the first full calendar year of the Great War and as such was a year of many “firsts” as far as that conflict was concerned. It would be a year in which the theatres of War would multiply, with the campaign in Gallipoli commencing in the April and the beginning of the multitudinous battles along the Isonzo River between Italian and Aus- trian forces in the June. In October, Bulgaria joined the Central Powers and sent its troops into Serbia, with the Serbian Army retreating through Montenegro and Albania to reach the Adriatic Coast and evacuation to Corfu. Technology developed too. Underground mining was employed by all belligerents on the Western Front, whilst Poison Gas and Flamethrowers also joined an ever-growing ar- moury of weapons. At sea, unrestricted attacks commenced on merchant shipping by German submarines, whilst in the air, the first Victoria Cross was awarded to pilots of both the R.F.C. and the R.N.A.S. and the citizens of Britain came under aerial attack from German Zeppelins. The continued contribution of the Em- pire must not be forgotten either. Cana- dian troops, answering the call to arms shown opposite, first saw action at St Eloi, just south of Ypres in March 1915, whilst the involvement of Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli has passed into legend. As I write, a new ini- tiative to trace the descendants of those who fought on that inhospitable Penin- sula has been announced, and one can only hope the appeal is met with enthu- siasm.

(Ronald Penrose, 1941, Home Guard Manual of Camouflage, p.13) This thesis approaches the cultures and geographies of military conflict, charting the history of military camouflage through a multi-faceted biography of this technology’s life-path. By studying the scientific biography of Dr Hugh Cott (1900-1987), eminent zoologist and skilful artist turned camoufleur in WWII, entwined with the fragmentary mobile biographies of other camouflage practioners, including artists, animals and even a magician, the sites and spacings of camouflage’s life-path from the late-nineteenth century into the Desert War are traced.

  • Julian Trevelyan Ra
    JULIAN TREVELYAN RA Julian Otto Trevelyan RA (20 February 1910 – 12 July 1988) An English Artist and Poet. EARLY LIFE Trevelyan was the only child to survive to adulthood of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and his wife Elizabeth van der Hoeven. His grandfather was the liberal politician Sir George Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, and his uncle the historian George Macaulay Trevelyan; he is the great-uncle of his namesake, Julian Trevelyan the pianist. Julian Trevelyan was educated at Bedales School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read English Literature. ARTISTIC CAREER He moved to Paris to become an artist, enrolling at Atelier Dix-Sept, Stanley William Hayter's engraving school, where he learned etching. He worked alongside artists including Max Ernst, Oskar Kokoschka, Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso. In 1935, Trevelyan bought Durham Wharf, beside the River Thames in Hammersmith, London. This became his home and studio for the rest of his life and was a source of artistic inspiration to him. He became a confirmed Surrealist and exhibited at the International Surrealist Exhibition, held at the New Burlington Galleries in London. From 1950 to 1955, Trevelyan taught history of art and etching at the Chelsea School of Art. From 1955–63, Trevelyan worked at the Royal College of Art and became Head of the Etching Department. Because of his enthusiasm in his work and the desire to share it with others, Trevelyan became a highly influential teacher, with students including David Hockney, Ron Kitaj and Norman Ackroyd. He was an important leader of modern print techniques and today is regarded as a silent driving force behind the etching revolution of the 1960s.
