  • Brian J. Dendle
    Brian J. Dendle RICHARD ENGLAND, POET OF MALTA AND THE MIDDLE SEA To Richard England and Peter Serracino Inglott, in homage and friendship Richard England, the son of the Maltese architect Edwin Eng­ land Sant Fournier, was born in Sliema, Malta, 3 October 1937. He was educated at St. Edward's College (Cottonera, Malta), studied architecture at the (then) Royal University of Malta (1954-61) and at the Milan Polytechnic, and worked as a stu­ dent-architect in the studio of Gio Ponti in Milan (1960-62). Richard England's Maltese works include designs of numerous hotels (Ramla Bay Hotel, Paradise Bay Hotel, 1964; Dolmen Hotel, 1966; Cavalieri Hotel, 1968; Salina Bay Hotel, 1970), tourist villages, apartment complexes, bank buildings (Central Bank of Malta, Valletta, 1993), and the University of Malta campus extension (1990-1995). Richard England has also de­ signed residential and office complexes in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sardinia, and Argentina. His work has won numerous interna­ tional prizes and merited his inclusion among the 585 leading international architects treated in Contemporary Architects (London, 1994) and in the anthology of the 581 outstanding world architects published in Japan in 1995. Richard England's architecture is characterized by sim­ plicity and a respect for the "vernacular" tradition of Malta. His hotels, "low-lying, terraced structures built of concrete and local stone" (Abel, Manikata Church 39), disturb the landscape as little as possible. Michael Spens stresses "England's regionalism," with its roots in Maltese culture and pre-history SCRIPTA MEDITERRANEA, 1997, Vol. 18, 87 88 Brian f. Dendle (Spens 286) . Chris Abel points out the sculptural aspect of Eng­ land's buildings, "more Greek than Roman in spirit," "an archi­ tecture of shadow to create an architecture of light" (Trans­ formations 10).

  • Anton Buttigieg 1912-1983
    PRESIDENTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF MALTA - 2 ANTON BUTTIGIEG 1912-1983 PROFILE Born in Qala, Gozo, on the 19 Feburary 1912, son of Salvu Buttigieg and Concetta née Falzon, Anton Buttigieg received his primary education at the Qala Government School. He continued his education at the Gozo Seminary and at the St Aloysius College, Birkirkara. In 1940, he graduated in Law from the Royal University of Malta. By 1944, he married Carmen Bezzina and had three children. Following Carmen’s early demise, he married Connie Scicluna in 1953, whom he also lost tragically in a traffic accident, three years later. He then married Margery Helen Patterson in 1975. Buttigieg was appointed as the second President of the Republic of Malta in 1976, aged 64. He served this office from 27 December 1976 until 27 December 1981. Anton Buttigieg passed away on Thursday, 5 May 1983, aged 71, and was given a state funeral, with the funeral mass being held at St John’s Co-Cathedral. The internment was held at the Santa Maria Addolorata at Section West Division A-R-4. POLITICAL CAREER Anton Buttigieg started his political career when he contested the 1951 and 1953 general elections with the Constitutional Party, without being elected. In 1955, he contested the elections for the first time with the Malta Labour Party (MLP), without any success. Despite this, the following year he became a parliamentary member when he replaced Ġużè Flores, who had resigned. From 1959 to 1961, he was President of the MLP and for several years was also its Deputy Leader.

  • CROWNS and CLONES in CRISIS Christ's College, Cambridge, 19
    DRAFT CROWNS AND CLONES IN CRISIS The case of Malta (and Gibraltar) Christ's College, Cambridge, 19th July 2017 Henry Frendo, University of Malta Much water has passed under the bridge since Malta became an independent and sovereign state on 21st September 1964, but its essentially Westminster-style Constitution has survived with often minor amendments and changes to respond to certain circumstances as these arose. Such amendments have been largely the result of electoral quirks which needed a remedy, but some have also been political and seminal. When Malta's independence was being negotiated in the early 1960s the government of the day, the Nationalist Party led by Dr Borg Olivier, which had 26 out of the 50 parliamentary seats, sought as smooth a transition as possible from colonialism to independence. By contrast, the largest party in Opposition, led by Dominic Mintoff, wanted radical changes. Three smaller parties were opposed to Independence fearing that Malta would not survive and thrive. One bone of contention was whether Malta should remain a member of the Commonwealth or not. Another was whether Malta should be a constitutional monarchy or not. In both these cases the Borg Olivier view prevailed. Moreover the draft Constitution was approved in a referendum held in May 1964. The vision was that there would be a transition from dependence on employment with the British services, given that Malta had long been regarded and served as a strategic fortress colony in the Central Mediterranean, to a more home-grown 1 and self-sufficient outfit based on industry, tourism and agriculture.

  • 1974: from Constitutional Monarchy to Republic Ugo Mifsud Bonnici
    1974: From Constitutional Monarchy to Republic Ugo Mifsud Bonnici he way in which Independence was achieved for Malta in 1964 was Tthe result of a masterpiece of political manoeuvre. Prime Minister Borg Olivier was in earnest, but had to be engaged in political contests on at least three fronts: that with the British Government, that with the Labour Opposition and that with the Opposition offered by the three other non-Labour parties represented in Parliament. On the content and structure of the Independence constitution he had to produce a draft document acceptable to the United Kingdom Government, because the Independence Act would have to emanate from there, and acceptable also to the three minor parties, who would be expected to add their votes for the approval of the Statute by our Parliament. The Labour Opposition had to be utilised as the component of the Maltese electorate that could seal the question as to whether Independence should happen immediately, but if the famous six points which contained their objections were to be received, that would lose the consent of the three other parties, and a 47 LANDMARKS IN MAlTESE CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY: 1849-1974 substantial part of the Nationalist Electorate. The vote in the Maltese Parliament, the response of the electorate in the Referendum, the United Kingdom's Independence Act and Order in Council, were secured, notwithstanding the reservations of the Labour Party and their vote in the negative. But only just. One remembers that the vote in the Parliament at Westminster was secured at the last possible moment before dissolution and through the benevolence of Labour politician, George Brown, on the Opposition benches.

  • Dominant Metaphor in Maltese Literature
    Abstract This study deals with the way Malta has been represented in poetry and narrative written in Maltese. Metaphor, with its ability to stretch language and thought beyond its elastic limit, has played a fundamental role in the forging of the national imaginary that lies at the junction between real history and literary texts. On one hand, the conventional conceptual metaphors of the mother, home, traveller, and village are rooted in conventional conceptions of the nation; on the other, the relocation of the motherland in the sea marks a return to and a reinterpretation of the figure of the mother. While conventional conceptual metaphors have the potential to structure the concept of the nation by imagining the unimagined, fresh conceptual metaphors simultaneously create and defy that new structure.

  • The Constitution and Religion in Malta Between 1921 and 1974
    THE CONSTITUTION AND RELIGION IN MALTA BETWEEN 1921 AND 1974 George Grima Malta had eight Constitutions between 1921 and 1974.(1) Of these, the most important, in so far as religious matters are concerned, are the Self­ Government (1921), the Independence (1964) and the Republic Constitution (1974). What these three Constitutions have in common is that they all recognize the right to freedom of conscience apd worship. In fact, the formulation which the Constitution of 1921 gives of this right is retained in subsequent Constitutions. For this reason, it may sound somewhat strange to speak of the constitutional history of this right in Malta. Yet, it is possible to see this right in a historical perspective, because the context varies from one Constitution to the other. The 1921 Constitution contains only one section on religion which, in the first place, affirms everyone's right to freedom of conscience and worship and, secondly, prohibits religious discrimination in any public career. While declaring the Roman Catholic religion as the religion of Malta and guaranteeing freedom and independence to the Roman Catholic Church, the 1964 Constitution includes freedom of conscience and worship as well as equality of treatment, prohibiting religious (and other forms of) discrimination, among the fundamental human rights. The 1974 Constitution does substantially the same except that it practically abolishes the special guarantee which the Roman Catholic Church enjoyed under the previous Constitution. Although freedom of conscience and worship has been forming part of Maltese Constitutions since 1921, it has been only very recently that it acquired the importance which it deserves.
