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.

    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.

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.

  • Three Anti-Fascist Novels Written by Women in the 1930S
    Narratives of collaboration and resistance: Three anti-fascist novels written by women in the 1930s RONALD PAUL University of Gothenburg Abstract Throughout the 1930s, the impact of fascism on the role of women in society and in the family was the focus of several anti-fascist novels written by women. In this article I concentrate on three of the most significant and successful of these works in order to explore the way they dramatize the relationship between collaboration with and resistance to fascism. I show how they not only viewed the reactionary transformation of the state by fascist regimes as a historic defeat for women. They also sought to depict the effect this catastrophe had on their personal lives and how they coped with its social and political challenges. I have therefore selected the following novels – Storm Jameson’s In the Second Year (1936), Murray Constantine’s (Katharine Burdekin) Swastika Night (1937) and Phyllis Bottome’s The Mortal Storm (1938), since they address the fundamentally regressive nature of fascism in different ways as well as individual struggles against it. Moreover, they remain outstanding examples of anti-fascist fiction that still resonate with us today when the world is once more faced with the rise of rightwing, populist and neofascist parties. Key words: Storm Jameson, Murray Constantine, Phyllis Bottome, 1930s, Anti-fascist novels In one of her last great polemics, Three Guineas, published in 1938, Virginia Woolf argued for a united front between the women’s movement and the anti-fascist struggle. Woolf showed that there is a natural and necessary correspondence between the continued fight for female emancipation and international resistance to the rise of fascism.

    Jacqueline Hurtley and Elizabeth Russell Universitat de Barcelona and Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona Following the fruits of the second wave of feminism fiom the 60s into the 80s, the backlash has set in (cf. Susan Faludi), with texts such as Camille Pagha's Sexual Personae intensqing the reaction. Beyond the women's movemenf we are witnesses to a growing sense of intolerante, made manifest in xenophobic attitudes and racist attacks. In The Nature of Fascism, published in 1991, Roger Grifñn spends his fúst chapter dwelling on the "conundrum" of fascism, so temed because of the lack of consensus as to how fascism might be defined. We do not propose to consider the complexities involved here but will rnake use of Griíñn's working definition: "Fascism is a genus of political ideology whose mythc core in its various permutations is a pahgenetic fom of populist ultranationalism." (Grif6n 1991,26). For our particular purpose, we wish to focus on the concept of palingenesis (fkom palin - again, anew; and genesis - creation, biríh). Fascism promulgated the idea of rebiríh: the movement would bring about "a new national community", one which would draw on, " - where posible, traditions which had supposedly remained uncontaminated by degenerative forces and whose cohesion was assured by new institutions, organisations and practices based on a new political hierarchy and a new heroic ethos" (Griíñn 1991, 45). Women became conspicuous by their absence within the new phallocentnc hierarchy. The new fascist man (hornofmcistus) wodd be intent on saaiñcing himseíf to the higher needs of the nation. In Male Fantasies Klaus Theweleit drew on case-studies produced on a number of individuals who played an active part in German proto-fascism.

  • MISLEADING CASES Children of the Sun. a Narrative of Decadence in England After 1918
    BOOK REVIEWS 85 MISLEADING CASES Children Of The Sun. A Narrative of Decadence in England After 1918. By MARTIN GREEN. Constable, 1977; £7.50. Mr. Green purports to describe the 'imaginative history' of England between 1918 and 1957, seeing it as a 'cultural Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/eic/article/XXVIII/1/85/493747 by guest on 01 October 2021 dialectic' between the 'dandy-aesthetes' and the 'anti- dandies'. He describes the former as representing the culture's 'thesis' (dominant 'temperament') and the latter as supporting its 'antithesis'. Into the first group he puts two 'gangs', one led by Harold Acton, Brian Howard, Connolly, Quennell, Waugh and Betjeman, the other by Auden, Isherwood, Spender and John Lehmann. The anti- thesis is represented by Leavis, Orwell and, sometimes, Lawrence who, along with the Georgian and Victorian forbears of the 'gangs' and their more conventional con- temporaries, stand for 'seriousness' and 'maturity'. The argument of the book revolves around the careers of Acton and Howard as the cultural leaders of the 'thesis'. Here, however, he runs into difficulties: the 'dandyism' of Acton is different in kind from that of Auden. The first gang, then, must be termed 'dandy-aesthete'; the second, 'naif. The 'cult of the naif, he assures us, was 'at the very core of Thirties' Marxism—the image of the sun-bronzed young man with his shirt open, bringing the radiant candour of his gaze to bear on the mess the fathers have made of the world'. But even this is not comprehen- sive enough. What about Beaverbrook and Winston Churchill? What about Peter Rodd and Randolph Churchill? They must naturally form another sub-section: 'uncles' and 'rogue-rebels'.

  • Country, House, Fiction Kristen Kelly Ames
    Conventions Were Outraged: Country, House, Fiction Kristen Kelly Ames A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENGLISH YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO June 2014 © Kristen Kelly Ames, 2014 ii ABSTRACT The dissertation traces intersections among subjectivity, gender, desire, and nation in English country house novels from 1921 to 1949. Inter-war and wartime fiction by Daphne du Maurier, Virginia Woolf, Nancy Mitford, P. G. Wodehouse, Elizabeth Bowen, and Evelyn Waugh performs and critiques conventional domestic ideals and, by extension, interrupts the discourses of power that underpin militaristic political certainties. I consider country house novels to be campy endorsements of the English home, in which characters can reimagine, but not escape, their roles within mythologized domestic and national spaces. The Introduction correlates theoretical critiques of nationalism, class, and gender to illuminate continuities among the naïve patriotism of the country house novel and its ironic figurations of rigid class and gender categories. Chapter 1 provides generic and critical contexts through a study of du Maurier’s Rebecca, in which the narrator’s subversion of social hierarchies relies upon the persistence, however ironic, of patriarchal nationalism. That queer desire is the necessary center around which oppressive norms operate only partially mitigates their force. Chapter 2 examines figures of absence in “A Haunted House,” To the Lighthouse, and Orlando. Woolf’s queering of the country house novel relies upon her Gothic figuration of Englishness, in which characters are only included within nationalist spaces by virtue of their exclusion.

National Portrait Gallery, London © Estate of Paul Tanqueray; The Bright Young Things at Wilsford by Cecil Beaton, 1927. © The Cecil Beaton Studio Archive. Cecil Beaton’s Bright Young Things National Portrait Gallery, London 12 March – 7 June 2020 Cecil Beaton’s portraits from a golden age are brought together for the first time in a major new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London. Featuring 170 works, many of which are rarely exhibited, Cecil Beaton’s Bright Young Things explores the extravagant world of the glamorous and stylish ‘Bright Young Things’ of the twenties and thirties, seen through the eye of renowned British photographer Cecil Beaton. Through the prism of Beaton’s portraits the exhibition presents the leading cast, to many of whom he would become close, and who in these early years helped refine his remarkable photographic style - artists and friends Rex Whistler and Stephen Tennant, set and costume designer Oliver Messel, composer William Walton, modernist poets Iris Tree and Nancy Cunard, glamorous socialites Edwina Mountbatten and Diana Guinness (née Mitford), actresses and anglophiles Tallulah Bankhead and Anna May Wong, among many others. Brought to vivid life each of them has a story to tell. There are the slightly less well known too – style icons Paula Gellibrand, the Marquesa de Casa Maury and Baba, Princesse de Faucigny-Lucinge, the eccentric composer and aesthete Lord Berners, modernist poet Brian Howard, part model for Brideshead Revisited’s mannered ‘Anthony Blanche’, ballet dancer Tilly Losch and Dolly Wilde Oscar’s equally flamboyant niece.
