  • Livro "Não Com Um Estrondo, Mas Com Um Gemido", De Theodore Dalrymple,Entrevista Do IFE São Paulo Com Anthony Daniel
    Livro "Não com um Estrondo, mas com um Gemido", de Theodore Dalrymple As duas melhores vertentes de Theodore Dalrymple reunidas em um único livro: a crítica da classe intelectual e a análise da cultura de massas Em Não com um Estrondo, mas com um Gemido, Theodore Dalrymple dá a medida do declínio cultural e da triste decadência da Grã-Bretanha – com sua burocracia, mentalidade de bem-estar opressiva, juventude sem rumo e a perseguição em nome da democracia e da liberdade. O autor mostra como o terrorismo e o número crescente de minorias muçulmanas mudaram a vida pública na Inglaterra. Registra, também, suas observações incisivas de artistas e ideólogos e, como médico psiquiatra, discorre sobre o tratamento de criminosos e dos mentalmente perturbados, área de seu interesse. O livro é dividido em duas partes: “Artistas e Ideólogos” e “Política e Cultura”. A primeira traz ensaios sobre Samuel Johnson, Arthur Koestler, Henrik Ibsen, J. G. Ballard. A segunda centra-se em patologias sociais britânicas e suas fontes políticas e culturais. O autor discorre também sobre a sensação de declínio do mundo ocidental, especialmente na Grã-Bretanha, sobre multiculturalismo islâmico e terror. Ele considera o crescimento das patologias sociais e o declínio dos padrões cultural, moral e estético britânicos mais abrangentes e alarmantes que processos semelhantes nos Estados Unidos e acredita que as políticas do Estado de bem-estar deram grande contribuição para o surgimento desses fenômenos. Sobre o autor Theodore Dalrymple é um dos pseudônimos de Anthony Daniels, nascido em Londres em 1949. Além de ensaísta, é médico psiquiatra, trabalhou em quatro continentes e atuou até 2005 no Hospital da Cidade e na Winson Green Prison, ambos em Birmingham, Inglaterra.

    Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses Theodore Dalrymple Ivan R. Dee, Publisher (May 25, 2005) ISBN: 1566636434 320pp US$27.50 Only man placed values in things to preserve himself—he alone created a meaning for things, a human meaning. Therefore he calls himself ‘man’, which means: the esteemer… Through esteeming alone is there value: and without esteeming, the nut of existence would be hollow. Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra In an age of non-judgementalism, Theodore Dalrymple is the most eloquent of heretics. Writing under his mildly pompous yet endearing nom de plume, British psychiatrist and prison doctor Anthony Daniels continues to puncture the post-modern pretensions of Britain's politically correct elites. His latest anthology, drawn from the Manhattan Institute's City Journal, surpasses its predecessor, Life at the Bottom, in its sparkling erudition and underlying humanity. The first half of the volume is devoted to Western literature and art, charting their decline into a charmless celebration of vulgarity and sensationalism. For this phenomenon, Dalrymple blames the liberal intelligentsia's embrace of cultural relativism and aversion to value judgements. He explains how narcissistic liberals of the artistic and literary world, driven by a desire to appear virtuously open-minded, praise disingenuously the most sordid and degraded aspects of slum culture as triumphant declarations of non-conformity and working class authenticity. Thus, in Dalrymple's view, have they condemned the British underclass to continued economic, social and intellectual deprivation by destroying its sense of aspiration. The barren wasteland of modern British culture is compared unfavourably with its former depth and vibrancy, a theme illustrated by Dalrymple's application of Shakespeare to the modern world, which demonstrates the timeless nature of the Bard's works.

  • Anthony Daniels Nyerere's Anti-Bauerist Policies
    PETER BAUER AND THE THIRD WORLD Anthony Daniels I am deeply honored to be able to speak to you tonight, but feel slightly guilty that I am here under false pretenses. I am not one of the preeminent scholars, as the program has so generously suggested, and among whom I now find myself, or indeed a scholar of any description, but rather a mere part-time scribbler. My sole qualifica- tion for speaking is that I was a friend of Peter Bauer’s, a man of whom, above all other men whom it has been my privilege to meet, can it truly be said that to know him was to love him. When I think of him, I recall Dr. Johnson’s beautiful tribute to his friend, Sir Joshua Reynolds: “Sir Joshua Reynolds, sir, is the most invulnerable man I know; the man with whom if you should quarrel, you would find the most difficulty how to abuse.” I don’t think Peter’s wonderful character was entirely irrelevant to the development of his ideas. In an age that often has difficulty in distinguishing earnestness from seriousness, and lightheartedness from frivolity, he was upright, honest, fearless, and fun-loving, which are not qualities, need I tell you, that always or even often go to- gether. He did not think that life was inevitably, or ought to be a grind, or that all enjoyment must be deferred until the world be made right. And he was fundamentally optimistic in the sense that he be- lieved ordinary people were perfectly capable of creating decent lives for themselves in the here and now, if only we—that is to say, the intellectuals of the world—would get out of their way and stop filling their minds with poison.

  • From Wigan Pier to Airstrip One
    From Wigan Pier to Airstrip One: A Critical Evaluation of George Orwell’s Writing and Politics post-September 11 Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by David L Urry School of Media, Communication and Culture Murdoch University 2005 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work that has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. 30/03/2005 David L. Urry 1 Acknowledgements This thesis was written under the auspices of Associate Professor Tara Brabazon. I am grateful too for additional support from Professor Steve Redhead, my family and friends, and postgraduate colleagues. Thanks to everyone concerned. 2 Eric Arthur Blair GEORGE ORWELL Figure 1 3 Abstract This thesis summons a contemporary reading of George Orwell, evaluating his current role and function as novelist, essayist, and twentieth century cultural icon. The year 2003 marked the centenary of Eric Blair’s birth and proved a productive year for Blair (and Orwell) enthusiasts. After nearly three years of research, my journey through Orwell’s words and world(s) has undergone significant re-evaluation, taking me far beyond such an appropriate commemoration. In the tragic aftermath of 9/11 ― through Afghanistan and Iraq, Bali, Madrid, and London ― Orwell’s grimly dystopian vision acquires renewed significance for a new generation. Few writers (living or dead) are as enduringly newsworthy and malleable as George Orwell. The scope and diversity of his work ― the sheer volume of his letters, essays, and assorted journalism ― elicits a response from academics, journalists, critics and readers.

    LIFE AT THE BOTTOM THE WORLDVIEW THAT MAKES THE UNDERCLASS 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Theodore Dalrymple | 9781566635059 | | | | | Life at the Bottom The Worldview That Makes the Underclass 1st edition PDF Book This conflict is shown throughout the collection, usually when an Indian or Pakistani woman is acting as a patient for Dalrymple, who then extracts the story for why the person is there. The only question is, can you really blame all this stuff on the Welfare State? A collection of Dalrymple's essay about the underclass in Britain—though I daresay America is not far from seeing the same situation becoming widespread as well. They have the intellectuals on their side to provide lofty moral justifications for their policies. A seventh is the fear that all the underclass lives in, a fear of crime committed by the most criminal among them, about which the police will do little or nothing. And on pretty female celebrities who always seem to turn up wearing sexy new clothes at movie premieres? I will posit a question for the reader however: What seems more likely? Theodore Dalrymple is a physician and psychiatrist who practices in England. But these cultural absurdities, he argues, were first intellectual absurdities. The chapters are organised thematically , not necessarily in chronological order. Life at the Bottom by Theodore Dalrymple goes to my personal list of most shocking books ever written and I'm hoping to get more of the author! Battered wives and broken families, the author says, originate in the liberal idea of free love, the sexual revolution and lack of morals.

INTRODUCTION ¶1 Observers of sub -Saharan Africa (SSA) 1 have no doubt become familiar with media images of one gruesome tragedy or another within the region – tragedies which, although essentially economic in nature, have traditionally been highlighted by human rights advocates in terms of its inability to realize the core rights proclaimed under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights2: food, healthcare, housing and education.3 Africa thus continues to challenge the most seasoned of political economists, while reaffirming the prejudices of those who continue to believe in the “civilizing virtues” of colonialism. Theories upon theories have been propounded. Countless “initiatives” have failed to make a difference.

Marvelous! Just like everything else he's ever writtenBy Bernard ChapinReading Dr. Dalrymple is more than just reading an essayist, but rather, one has the experience of hearing speak a fellow who--in my opinion--is the wisest man in any room. I first started reading Dr. Daniels/Dalrymple in 2000 through the New Criterion and he soon became one of my favorite authors. Whether he's addressing art, medicine or even the pitfalls of the Beat Generation, the eminent doctor crafts a narrative unlike any other. I always experience hearing his words as if they came from an ancient ancestor who has seen all and come back to speak of it. No praise for Dr. Dalrymple is too great in my view. May he live forever! In this book, Spoilt Rotten, he takes on the toxic cult of sentimentality. He does so through the use of six lengthy chapters and a full introduction. The best of these, and the most necessary, is Chapter 5 "The Cult of the Victim," which is so instructive that I will be making a couple of videos on it for my channel.
