  • Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Reading Group Gold

    Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Reading Group Gold

    FARRAR, STRAUS AND GIROUX Reading Group Gold Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Architects of a New City by Adina Hoffman ISBN: 978-0-374-28910-2 / 368 pages A remarkable view of one of the world’s most beloved and troubled cities, Adina Hoffman’s Till We Have Built Jerusalem is a gripping and intimate journey into the very different lives of three archi- tects who helped shape modern Jerusalem. The book unfolds as an excavation. It opens with the 1934 arrival in Jerusalem of the celebrated Berlin architect Erich Mendelsohn, a refugee from Hitler’s Germany, who must reckon with a com- plex new Middle Eastern reality. Driven to build in terms both practical and prophetic, Mendelsohn is a maverick whose ideas about Jerusalem’s political and visual prospects place him on a collision course with his peers. Next we meet Austen St. Barbe Harrison, Palestine’s chief government ar- chitect from 1922 to 1937. Steeped in the traditions of Byzantine and Islamic building, this “most private of public servants” finds himself working under the often stifling and violent conditions of British rule. And in the riveting final section, Hoffman herself sets out through the battered streets of today’s Jerusalem searching for traces of a possibly Greek, possibly Arab architect named Spyro Houris. Once a fixture on the local scene, Houris is now utterly forgotten, though his grand, Arme- nian-tile-clad buildings still stand, a ghostly testimony to the cultural fluidity that has historically characterized Jerusalem at its best. We hope that the following discussion topics will enrich your reading group’s experience of this beautifully written rumination on memory and forgetting, place and displacement, and on what it means, everywhere, to be foreign and to belong.

The featured writers this year included Patrick McCabe, Frank McGuinness, Andrew O’Hagan, Colum McCann, Anne Enright, Eavan Boland, Joseph O’Connor, John Connolly, John Boyne, Claire Kilroy and Bernard Mac Laverty.

    THE FEDERAL TRUST Enlightening the Debate on Good Governance Is Civil Society heard in Brussels? Interest representation and the role of civil society in EU decision-making Adrian Beresford Taylor European Essay No.4 A Definition of Federalism Federalism is defined as ‘a system of government in which central and regional authorities are linked in an interdependent political relationship, in which powers and functions are distributed to achieve a substantial degree of autonomy and integrity in the regional units. In theory, a federal system seeks to maintain a balance such that neither level of government becomes sufficiently dominant to dictate the decision of the other, unlike in a unitary system, in which the central authorities hold primacy to the extent even of redesigning or abolishing regional and local units of government at will.’ (New Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought) _________________________________________________________________________ Patrons Council Lord Briggs Andrew Adonis Sir Bernard Burrows David Barton Rt Hon Lord Cockfield Professor Iain Begg Sir Brian Corby Graham Bishop Lord Ezra Dr Michael Burgess Lord Forte Alison Cottrell Sir Michael Franklin Harry Cowie Sir Arthur Knight Geoffrey Denton Lord Mackenzie-Stuart Robert Emerson Sir Donald Maitland Dr Nigel Forman Baroness Nicholson of Baroness Sally Greengross Winterbourne MEP Professor Stanley Henig Rt Hon Sir Michael Palliser Isabel Hilton Lord Plumb Jonathan Hoffman Lord Roll of Ipsden John Leech Rt Hon Lord Scarman Baroness Ludford MEP Rt Hon Lord Thomson of Peter Luff Monifieth Nicolas Maclean Carole Tongue David Martin MEP Sir Brian Urquhart Dr Richard Mayne Sir Peter Ustinov Professor Jörg Monar John Pinder OBE John Stevens Lord Taverne QC Dr Richard Whitman Ernest Wistrich _________________________________________________ The views expressed in this European Essay are the views of the author only.

    Social Networks in the History of Archaeology. Placing Archaeology in Its Context

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Repository of the Freie Universität Berlin Amara Thornton Social Networks in the History of Archaeology. Placing Archaeology in its Context Summary This paper explores the value of social networks in the history of archaeology, combining them with biography and prosopography to produce a practical method for examining the development of the discipline, and an alternative to the traditional history of archaeology narrative. It presents broad categories for the interpretation and visualization of social net- works, illuminated by case studies focusing on linked political and archaeological networks in early British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan. Social networks are a tool for under- standing the historical context of archaeological work, and can be utilized to explore the role of men and women, politicians, soldiers, artists, architects, funders and others, in the excavation, interpretation, presentation and reception of archaeology. Keywords: Archaeology; social networks; biography; prosopography; history; British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan. Der Artikel untersucht die Bedeutung von sozialen Netzwerken in der Geschichte der Ar- chäologie. Im Rückgriff auf biographische und prosopographische Ansätze soll eine geeig- nete Methode zur Untersuchung der Entwicklung des Fachs herausgearbeitet werden und eine Alternative zu den traditionellen Erzählungen in der Archäologiegeschichte. Anhand einer Fallstudie über die miteinander verbundenen politischen und archäologischen Netz- werke in den frühen britischen Mandaten Palästina und Transjordanien werden allgemeine Kategorien für die Interpretation und Visualisierung von sozialen Netzwerken diskutiert. Die Analyse sozialer Netzwerke gibt Einblick in den historischen Kontext archäologischer Arbeit und erlaubt es, die Rollen von Männern und Frauen, Politikern, Soldaten, Künstlern, Architekten und Sponsoren bei der Ausgrabung, Interpretation, Präsentation und Rezepti- on von Archäologie zu untersuchen.

A. (Md,1aster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. A. S. Brennan NUMBER OF PAGES: 98 i i ABSTRACT Using the poem "Afternoon", an early sketch, Dialogue for Three and a late play, Monologue, as a basis for discussion, this thesis attempts to locate the essential core relationship that lies at the heart, not only of the above three works, but the whole range of Pinter's work. The core relationship or pattern upon which Pinter's drama is arranged is revealed as a love triangle. Once we have isolated the triangle it is possible to identify the various corners of the triangle using both the symbol ic vocabulary Pinter provides in the dichotomy between light and dark, betltJeen b Ii ndness and potence and the psychoanalytic terms, ego and id, which correspond exactly to the corners of light and dark, respectively. The Pinter protagonist is typically confronted with tltlO psycho­ sexual alternatives~ one in the guise of a guardian and the other in the guise of a thief.
