  • Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism
    Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism By Matthew W. Horton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Dr. Na’ilah Nasir, Chair Dr. Daniel Perlstein Dr. Keith Feldman Summer 2019 Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions Matthew W. Horton 2019 ABSTRACT Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism by Matthew W. Horton Doctor of Philosophy in Education and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory University of California, Berkeley Professor Na’ilah Nasir, Chair This dissertation is an intervention into Critical Whiteness Studies, an ‘additional movement’ to Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory. It systematically analyzes key contradictions in working against racism from a white subject positions under post-Civil Rights Movement liberal color-blind white hegemony and "Black Power" counter-hegemony through a critical assessment of two major competing projects in theory and practice: white anti-racism [Part 1] and New Abolitionism [Part 2]. I argue that while white anti-racism is eminently practical, its efforts to hegemonically rearticulate white are overly optimistic, tend toward renaturalizing whiteness, and are problematically dependent on collaboration with people of color. I further argue that while New Abolitionism has popularized and advanced an alternative approach to whiteness which understands whiteness as ‘nothing but oppressive and false’ and seeks to ‘abolish the white race’, its ultimately class-centered conceptualization of race and idealization of militant nonconformity has failed to realize effective practice.

    Zidane in Tartarus: A Neoaristotelian Inquiry into the Emotional Dimension of Kathartic Recognition © Stephanie Alice Baker Doctor of Philosophy University of Western Sydney 2010 Copyright Stephanie Alice Baker 2010 For Richard Stephen Baker & Andrea Gale Baker Acknowledgements There are numerous people to whom I owe gratitude for the completion of this thesis: Firstly, the faculty at the University of Sydney, who nourished my passion for the classics and subsequently sociology. I am particularly grateful for the scholarship encouraging me to pursue a PhD and the generous funding provided to conduct fieldwork, archival research and to present at international conferences during the initial two years of my dissertation. The University of Western Sydney must also be thanked for the scholarship and funding opportunities offered during the final year and a half of my dissertation. I would also like to thank the University of Chicago, and more specifically Hans Joas and the staff at Regenstein Library, for their hospitality and allowing me to access the unpublished manuscripts of George Herbert Mead in 2006. Special thanks must also be made to the University of Leicester for hosting me as a Visiting Fellow from 2007-8, a fellowship that was to shape the direction of my dissertation in innumerable ways, and Patrick Mignon for inviting me to participate in a series of seminars at l'École des hautes études en sciences sociales during the academic year of 2007-8 in Paris. I owe special thanks to my parents, Richard Stephen Baker and Andrea Gale Baker, who have continuously encouraged my educational pursuits, Joanne Finkelstein for her ongoing mentorship during my tertiary education, innumerable friends for their affections and my partner, Adam Peckman, whose unconditional love and support throughout this process will be eternally remembered.

  • Lundi 14 Novembre
    ÉDITO Alain Rousset, Président du Festival 2015 et 2016 resteront deux années à part pour notre festival. En novembre dernier, suite aux attentats perpétrés avant la 26° édition, nous avons pris la décision de reporter notre manifestation. Ne pas céder sur nos principes : à savoir qu’un lieu de culture, de savoir et de dialogue comme le Festival ne saurait s’éteindre face à la peur. Ainsi, après « Un si Proche-Orient, » c’est le thème « Culture et liberté » qui s’impose comme une réponse fédératrice et constructive au climat anxiogène. Comme un lien emblématique entre les deux éditions de 2016, c’est Chahdortt Djavann, femme de conviction, écrivain française d’origine iranienne, qui nous parlera de culture au pluriel et de liberté à partir de son expérience singulière. Et nous sommes fiers de présenter le film posthume d’Andrezj Wajda qui dans « Afterimage » revient sur les persécutions subies par les artistes de l’autre côté du rideau de fer. De Khomeyni aux djihadistes, de Staline à Hitler, les régimes totalitaires n’ont eu de cesse d’anéantir la culture ou de l’instrumentaliser. Car l’expression artistique est une forme de liberté qui peut remettre en cause un pouvoir politique, religieux ou économique. Le premier enjeu de cette édition est de raconter et d’expliquer comment les artistes, les écrivains ont participé à l’Histoire. Comment, grâce à leur indépendance, à leur génie, ils ont pu éclairer, enchanter leur époque, briser les conformismes. Quelles ont été leurs géniales intuitions, leurs héroïques résistances ou leurs compromissions, leurs aveuglements. Le second enjeu est de montrer comment la culture peut rassembler, éveiller, émerveiller.

At the beginning our naiviety led us to believe that reports miraculously land in the ‘in’ file, photos are taken by themselves and the final magazine arrives in all its splendour out of thin air. After two weeks, this illusory belief was shattered, thanks to Mrs. Shepherd’s constant reminders and imposed deadlines, the Collegian Committee set about performing its actual task. People owning reports were hounded and harassed (by the secret Collegian Force) photography sessions were ruled with an iron fist and the school body was subjected to the revolutionary 'A-:-- torture, technique of Collegian Committee advertising (thanks Mrs. Pyett for the loan of your sunnies). Through these trials and tribulations the Collegian Committee has brought about several changes as you will no doubt notice. We hope that these alterations improve the overall effect of the 1991 Collegian. Finally as the year draws to an end, I would like to thank Mrs. Shepherd plus Mr. Thompson for their invaluable help and the entire Collegian Committee for their tireless work. I am sure that they’d all agree that working on the Collegian was a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
