  • Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections
    Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections David Hirsh Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series, Charles Asher Small. Working Paper Hirsh 2007 ISSN: 1940-610X © Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second floor New York, NY 10022 United States Office Telephone: 212-230-1840 www.isgap.org ABSTRACT This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.

  • Indian Scholar
    ISSN 2350-109X www.indianscholar.co.in Indian Scholar An International Multidisciplinary Research e-Journal POLITICAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES IN TARIQ ALI’S NIGHT OF THE GOLDEN BUTTERFLY Basharat Shameem Research Scholar, Department of English J.S. University, Shikohabad, Uttar Pradesh, India-283135 Abstract Through its close study of Night of the Golden Butterfly by Tariq Ali, this paper makes an attempt to study how the novel offers an alternate account of Pakistan’s political and cultural history through the medium of fiction. History as a tool of reconstruction of experience used by the dominant powers is often seen to be in clash with individual reconstruction of the experience through imagination in the form of literary narratives. This query about the general nature of representation gets attached to some very debatable questions prevailing among the contemporary Pakistanis and those mainly focus on the issues of identity, culture, race, and religion. Unlike the rest of the novels in the Islam Quintet, the novel is set in the modern times narrating an account of contemporary issues pertaining to western imperialism, rise of religious fanaticism, military-mullah-feudal nexus in Pakistan, and immigrant experiences. The paper tries to show how the novel not only takes a hard look at the western imperialism for its devastating impact on the colonized world, but in a self-reflexive way, also criticizes the Muslim societies for adopting the path of self-destructive religious fundamentalism with reference to Ali’s own native country, Pakistan, referred to as “Fatherland” in the novel. Keywords: Night of the Golden Butterfly, Tariq Ali, History, Pakistan, Muslims, Culture, Fundamentalism.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • NEWSLETTER 2016 Letter from the Acting Chair
    HISTORY OF ART, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY ANNUAL NEWSLETTER 2016 Letter from the Acting Chair My second year as Acting Chair of the Department has been an exhilarating one, as I have become more closely acquainted with the accomplishments of a very active community of scholars who are pursuing the histories of art of differing cultures, time periods, aesthetic sensibilities, and meanings. Our traditional strengths in European, American, and Asian art have been expanded to include other traditions and global art of the modern and con- temporary periods. A quick perusal of the Department’s courses at http:// guide.berkeley.edu/courses/histart/ will introduce you to the variety. Last year at this time I knew that the faculty had reconceived the undergraduate major to be more inclusive and also more comparative, but I had not yet realized the extent to which new questions, new perspectives, and new technologies would be enlivening the intellectual interchanges among the faculty with such different specializations. Just one example: Complementing the long-time requirement, HA100 Theory and Methods of Art History that many of you will remember having taken, is a second methodology course, HA 101 Theory and Methods for a Global History of Bonnie Wade receives the Berkeley Citation at graduation in her home Art that was newly created this past year.

  • The Life and Politics of David Widgery David Renton
    The Life and Politics of David Widgery David Renton David Widgery (1947-1992) was a unique figure on the British left. Better than any one else, his life expressed the radical diversity of the 1968 revolts. While many socialists could claim to have played a more decisive part in any one area of struggle - trade union, gender or sexual politics, radical journalism or anti- racism - none shared his breadth of activism. Widgery had a remarkable abili- ty to "be there," contributing to the early debates of the student, gay and femi- nist movements, writing for the first new counter-cultural, socialist and rank- and-file publications. The peaks of his activity correspond to the peaks of the movement. Just eighteen years old, Widgery was a leading part of the group that established Britain's best-known counter-cultural magazine Oz. Ten years later, he helped to found Rock Against Racism, parent to the Anti-Nazi League, and responsible for some of the largest events the left has organised in Britain. RAR was the left's last great flourish, before Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, and the movement entered a long period of decline, from which even now it is only beginning to awake. David Widgery was a political writer. Some of the breadth of his work can be seen in the range of the papers for which he wrote. His own anthology of his work, compiled in 1989 includes articles published in City Limits, Gay Left, INK, International Socialism, London Review of Books, Nation Review, New Internationalist, New Socialist, New Society, New Statesman, Oz, Radical America, Rank and File Teacher,Socialist Worker, Socialist Review, Street Life, Temporary Hoarding, Time Out and The Wire.' Any more complete list would also have to include his student journalism and regular columns in the British Medical Journal and the Guardian in the 1980s.

    Peterhouse Peterhouse is the Cambridge experience at its best and most approachable – you won’t find a better place to call home for three years! Why Peterhouse? 4 Living 6 Working 8 Playing 10 Support 12 Why not you? 14 Your future 16 Contacts 18 It’s really friendly – at Peterhouse you have the opportunity to be somebody in an environment as competitive as Cambridge University. NicK welcome to peterhouse Contrary to popular belief, there is no ‘typical Cambridge student’ and the same is true of Peterhouse students. Jennie 04 A unique environment Peterhouse is, above all, an exciting and friendly place to be. As the oldest and smallest of the undergraduate Colleges, it offers a unique environment, close to the main Arts, Engineering and Science faculties and the centre of the city, but just off the tourist trail. Peterhouse’s small size (we admit about 75 Freshers a year) makes for a really friendly atmosphere. Staff are able to offer you individual attention throughout your degree. Peterhouse students come from an enormously wide range of backgrounds, with varied interests and opinions. Many come from overseas. The only things our students all have in common are high academic ability, a commitment to their subject, and the willingness to work hard. At Peterhouse you can choose what type of Cambridge experience you have – the traditional side of Cambridge life is there for you to enjoy if you choose, but it is by no means stifling. Our support and facilities for both academic work and extra- curricular activities are also superb – second only to the diversity of our students.
