  • Elizabeth M. Collingham
    Program in Agrarian Studies 21 September 2012 The Taste of War: World War II and the Battle for Food Lizzie Collingham Food is rarely included in lists of the causes of the Second World War. The rise of fascism, German feelings of humiliation as a result of the Treaty of Versailles, and the economic and social instability which developed in the wake of the Great Depression, are all usually identified as important causal factors. However, food can be found at the heart of policies which set Germany and Japan on the path to war in the 1930s. My book, which this paper (partially) summarises, seeks to understand the role of food at the heart of the conflict, as a cause and an instrument of war, an important factor in strategy and logistics, and an all-consuming preoccupation for many soldiers and civilians. The focus on food is not intended to exclude other interpretations but rather to add an often overlooked dimension to our understanding of the Second World War. After all, starvation, malnutrition and its associated diseases killed at least 20 million people, a number to equal the 19.5 military deaths.1 The story of food’s role as one of the causes of international conflict in the twentieth century begins in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. From the 1870s the amount of meat in the European diet rose steadily from 16 kilograms per person per year to 50 kilograms by 1914.2 Ben Turner’s family of mill workers in Huddersfield were able to eat a bit of meat virtually every day, in contrast to Richard Walker, an eighteenth-century farm labourer who spent half the family’s annual income on bread.3 The bread was supplemented by a little bacon, the occasional potato and a small amount of cheese.

  • Science and Ideology Revisited: Necessity, Contingency and the Critique of Ideologies in Meillassoux and Malabou
    Science and Ideology Revisited: Necessity, Contingency and the Critique of Ideologies in Meillassoux and Malabou Ben Turner Theory & Event, Volume 21, Number 4, October 2018, pp. 865-890 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/707014 [ Access provided at 24 Sep 2021 15:16 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] Science and Ideology Revisited: Necessity, Contingency and the Critique of Ideologies in Meillassoux and Malabou Ben Turner Abstract Political thought influenced by post-structuralism rare- ly invokes ideology critique as a meaningful category of analysis, criticizing the structuralist attribution of contingency and neces- sity to, respectively, ideology and science. This article will chal- lenge this position utilising recent philosophical considerations of necessity and contingency that rehabilitate ideology critique. Drawing on scientific materials, both Quentin Meillassoux and Catherine Malabou develop a form of necessity inhabited by con- tingency. It will be argued that this work allows a reconsideration of the usefulness of science for ideology critique in a manner that doesn’t rely on an attribution of scientific necessity to the politics of the critic. In political thought influenced by post-structuralism it is rare to see the concept of ideology, or the practice of ideology critique, invoked as meaningful categories of analysis.1 This reticence towards the Marxist conception of ideology, understood as the deliberate mystification and obscuring of a set of necessary political conditions, revolved around a rejection of the scientific ambitions of structuralism and its attempt to distinguish between contingent surfaces and deep, a-historical struc- tures.2 Quintessential to this separation was the attribution of contin- gency and necessity to, respectively, ideology and science.

H. s. for the last time, we take with us an album of memories never to be forgotten. We have had our laughs and perhaps a tear or two, but all of them went toward making us educated young meri and women who will proudly bear the title "Crusader" for the remainder of our lives. In these turbulent times when materialism is too often substituted for the real; spiritual values, we Seniors are most grateful for the privilege of having received a good Catholic ed­ ucation. Through it 'we learned not only the State's requirements but also God's requirements; not only chen;ical formulas but also God's formula for heaven, And so it is that we wish to dedicate the '62 CRUSADER to the persons responsible for giv­ ing us this tremendous opportunity. Who is more responsible than you, the members of the ~ommunity of Ferdinand, who have so generously contributed to the building of this Catholic institution?_ It is because of you that we go out into the world a little better prepared to meet problems that a mathematical equation could never solve, Thus we ask you, the community of Ferdinand, to accept thts dedication as a token of our sincere appreciation for all the sacrifices you have made to give us this advantage. 3 --Virginia Woolf "Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen." --Samuel Paterson.
