Television, Audiences and Cultural Studies
Television, Audiences and Cultural Studies Television, Audiences and Cultural Studies presents a multifaceted exploration of audience research, in which David Morley draws on a rich body of empirical work to examine the emergence, development and future of television audience research. In addition to providing an introductory overview of the development of audience research from a cultural studies perspective, David Morley questions how class and cultural differences can affect how we interpret television, the significance of gender in the dynamics of domestic media consumption, how the media construct the ‘national family’, and how small-scale ethnographic studies can help us to understand the global-local dynamics of postmodern media systems. Morley’s work reconceptualizes the study of ideology within the broader context of domestic communications, illuminating the role of the media in articulating public and private spheres of experience and in the social organization of space, time and community. The collection contributes both to current methodological debates—for instance, the possible uses of ethnographic methods in media/cultural studies— and to new debates surrounding substantive issues. such as the functions of new (and old) media in the construction of cultural identities within a postmodern geography of the media. David Morley is Reader in Media Studies at Goldsmith’s College, University of London. He is the author of The ‘Nationwide’ Audience (1980) and Family Television (1986). 7 Television, Audiences and Cultural Studies David Morley LONDON AND NEW YORK First published 1992 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005. -

Laqueur, Chair Professor James Vernon, Chair Professor Stefan Ludwig Hoffmann Professor Wendy L. Brown Fall 2015 Copyright © 2015 Tehila Sasson All rights reserved Abstract In the Name of Humanity: Britain and the Rise of Global Humanitarianism by Tehila Sasson Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Thomas W. Laqueur, Chair James Vernon, Chair This study examines how a new humanitarian community emerged in the late 1960s and why it came to act in the name of “humanity.” To realize the nature of this transformation, the study focuses on Britain and its relationship to more global forms of humanitarianism. In post-imperial Britain a new set of actors beyond the British state came to adopt humanitarian ethics. In a series of case studies, the study examines how humanitarianism mobilized a range of new historical actors who came to replace the imperial state, beginning with non-governmental activists and former military experts and expanding to include multinational corporations and ordinary people. Initially, post-imperial aid relied on imperial infrastructure and knowledge. -

The Nationwide Television Studies
THE NATIONWIDE TELEVISION STUDIES The ‘Nationwide’ Television Studies brings together for the first time David Morley and Charlotte Brunsdon’s classic texts Everyday Television: ‘Nationwide’ and The ‘Nationwide’ Audience. Originally published in 1978 and 1980 these two research projects combine innovative textual readings and audience analysis of the BBC’s current affairs news magazine Nationwide. In a specially written introduction, Brunsdon and Morley clarify the origins of the two books and trace the history of the original Nationwide project. Detailing research carried out at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham, Brunsdon and Morley recount the internal and external histories of the project and the development of media research and audience analysis theories. In a final section The ‘Nationwide’ Television Studies reprints reviews and responses to Everyday Television and The ‘Nationwide’ Audience including comments by Michael Barratt, the main presenter of Nationwide. David Morley is Professor of Communications at Goldsmiths College, London. Charlotte Brunsdon teaches film and television at the University of Warwick.

Tabloid Newspapers and Their Readers
Reading Tabloids Tabloid Newspapers and Their Readers Sofia Johansson Södertörns högskola 2007 Södertörns högskola ISBN 978-91-89315-77-8 Södertörn Academic Studies 34 ISSN 1650-433X Mediestudier vid Södertörns högskola 2007:1 ISSN 1650-6162 Cover: Joseph Hill © The author Acknowledgements This book is an edited version of my PhD thesis, which I wrote at the Com- munication and Media Research Institute at the University of Westminster. It deals with the topic of British tabloid newspapers and their readers. In many ways, this is a specifically ‘British’ topic – tabloids dominate the British news- paper market, and their particular style of journalism is the subject of much debate. Yet, these newspapers have counterparts in a number of countries, and tabloid journalism continues to spark off controversy at an international level. My hope is therefore that the book can contribute to discussions of the press, journalism and popular culture more widely. I am indebted to several people for managing to complete it. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the readers of the Sun and the Daily Mirror who agreed to take part in the research, generously sharing their experiences. At CAMRI, I want to thank Annette Hill for her guidance, support and pa- tience throughout the PhD research. Some of the most rewarding discussions about the research took place in her kitchen (with two friendly Golden Retriev- ers and a couple of cats contributing to the creative process). Peter Goodwin, likewise, helped greatly with encouragement, clear-sighted editing and insights into the British media. Colin Sparks has been a source of inspiration at CAMRI and I am indebted to him, and to Peter Dahlgren of the University of Lund, for their perceptive comments as examiners of the thesis. -
Against Meritocracy
AGAINST MERITOCRACY Meritocracy today involves the idea that whatever your social position at birth, society ought to offer enough opportunity and mobility for ‘talent’ to combine with ‘effort’ in order to ‘rise to the top’. This idea is one of the most prevalent social and cultural tropes of our time, as palpable in the speeches of politicians as in popular culture. In this book Jo Littler argues that meritocracy is the key cultural means of legitimation for contemporary neo- liberal culture – and that whilst it promises opportunity, it in fact creates new forms of social division. Against Meritocracy is split into two parts. Part I explores the genealogies of meritocracy within social theory, political discourse and working cultures. It traces the dramatic U-turn in meritocracy’s meaning, from socialist slur to a contemporary ideal of how a society should be organised. Part II uses a series of case studies to analyse the cultural pull of popular ‘parables of progress’, from reality TV to the super-rich and celebrity CEOs, from social media controversies to the rise of the ‘mumpreneur’. Paying special attention to the role of gender, ‘race’ and class, this book provides new conceptualisations of the meaning of meritocracy in contemporary culture and society. Jo Littler is a Reader in the Centre for Culture and Creative Industries in the Department of Sociology at City, University of London. She is the author of Radical Consumption: Shopping for change in contemporary culture (2009) and co-editor, with Roshi Naidoo, of The Politics of Heritage: The Legacies of ‘Race’ (2005).

National Identity and British Foreign Policy
National Identity and British Foreign Policy Srdjan Vucetic Paper* prepared for the 2020 Britain and the World Conference, University of Plymouth, 17‐ 19 June 2020** Abstract: Britain’s tenaciously global foreign policy after 1945 was never simply a function of the nation’s ruling class acting on the basis of elite obsessions or after some sort of bipartisan consensus. Rather, this policy developed from mainstream, gradually evolving ideas about “us,” “them,” and “Others” generated within a broader British and, more specifically, English society. * Introduction of a book ms. (the rest available upon request) ** Due to COVID‐19, the conference is now scheduled to take place in 2021 Srdjan Vucetic is Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa. He is the author of The Anglosphere: A Genealogy of a Racialized Identity in International Relations (Stanford 2011) and co‐editor of Canadian Defence Policy in Theory and Practice (Palgrave 2020). His work has also appeared in journals such as European Journal of International Relations, Foreign Policy Analysis, International Organization and The British Journal of Politics and International Relations. Contact: https://srdjanvucetic.wordpress.com/ 1 Introduction “At the very point of junction.” “At the top table.” “Punching above our weight.” “Pivotal power.” “Significant global power.” “Global hub.” “Global Britain.” “Major global player.” “Great global player.” “True global player.” These are some of the official and officious designations of British foreign policy in the post-Second World War period. Dreamed up by policy-makers and commentators of different eras, party politics, and ideologies to describe and proscribe the ambitions of the United Kingdom (UK) in the world, these phrases also index a long-standing policy “problem”: how to pursue a robust global power policy in the face of relative decline, meaning the visible erosion of the state’s international position. -

Since there is scarcely an idea in the book which is not in some senses collaborative, it is important to begin with an acknowledgement to media educators everywhere, a great many of whom are working indefatigably and often at great personal sacrifice, to establish this important area of the curriculum. -
