Nobody else makes television like this. Radio Times Scathing lucid and hilarious. This erudite verbal and visual essay Observer A characteristically witty ribald and provocative essay The Times It’s ace! The Guardian There were so many more ideas in this hour than in the entire output, since its inception, of (say) The One Show that it was almost embarrassing. The Observer Blisteringly brutal, clever and hilarious. It manages to be visually interesting on what looks like a budget of 40 quid. The Guardian How on earth did Jonathan Meades on Jargon make it all the way to the screen? Were the people in BBC corporate responsibility (or whatever it's called) drunk or stoned or something, or did it unaccountably bypass their office all together? New Statesman This is a film that should be shown to all aspiring public figures before they disgrace themselves. Above all, like so much of Meades’s work, it is a stunning contribution to our understanding of ourselves, and confirms him as the leading cultural commentator of our age.

Sam Wollaston – The Guardian Remarkable story of two elderly sisters. Matt Baylis - The Daily Express That Frank Hanly was there to capture the sisters last year together fills me with admiration: for both him and for Arena’s long serving editor, Anthony Wall Rachel Cooke – The New Statesman Sgt Pepper’s Musical Revolution 1x60 BBC2 June 2017 Nominated for Broadcasting Press Guild Award Single Documentary 2018 Brilliant! Of course, you did what I did: put the record on immediately afterwards. There was so much new to listen to even though you’d heard it 4000 times before. The Guardian Bravo and thank you - the best, most revealing music documentary I have ever seen. Danny Baker Benbuilding: Mussolini - Modernism, Marble and Monuments 1x90 BBC4 June 2016 Infuriating and enlightening, Meades is a one-off and must be preserved. The Arts Desk Face of Britain with Simon Schama 1x60 mins BBC 2 TX October 2015 Quietly provocative, unpredictable, educative, at times effervescent.

  • Vernacular Revival and Ideology – What’S Left? by Peter Guillery
    Vernacular Revival and Ideology – What’s Left? by Peter Guillery This essay derives from a lecture first given at a Vernacular Architecture Group conference on vernacular revivals in 2015, reprised to generally younger audiences at the Bartlett School of Architecture and the University of Westminster. Its retrospection about vernacular architecture, anonymity, revival and left-wing ideologies was prompted primarily by a bemused awareness of recent advances in self-building. It seemed timely to try to get at how and why certain ideas retain traction. Then, coincidentally, young and old were recombining behind Jeremy Corbyn to reinvigorate Labour, and the self-styled design ‘collective’ Assemble won the Turner Prize. John Ruskin, William Morris, the Arts and Crafts Movement and Romanticism will arise (how could they not?), but only in passing, for a revisionist view of what has come since. It is taken as read that a strong commitment to architectural design as being rooted in labour and everyday or subaltern agency tallied with the emergence of socialism and was an important part of architectural thinking and history in late-19th-century England. This is an attempt to relate that history to the present in a new overview for a new framework. It adopts an unconventional or purist definition of what vernacular means that will clash with many preconceptions. Peter Guillery is an architectural historian and editor for the Survey of London, in the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. He is the author of The Small House in Eighteenth-Century London (2004), and the editor of Built from Below: British Architecture and the Vernacular (2011), and (with David Kroll) Mobilising Housing Histories: Learning from London’s Past (2016).

    ARCHITECTURE OF AFFECT conceptions of concrete in brutalist buildings Marijke de Wal MA Thesis 2017 Supervisor: László Munteán Department of Literary and Cultural Studies Radboud University Nijmegen László, köszönöm hogy hittél bennem 2 CONTENTS PREFACE 04 INTRODUCTION 06 I WORLD OF CONCRETE 10 ubiquitous utopias 12 critical regionalism 15 brutalist sensibility 17 II ARCHITECTURE OF AFFECT 21 concrete aesthetics 26 architectural polemic 27 as found 29 human habitat 33 refrain 36 urban poetry 38 kate wood 39 affective voices 41 nostalgic remembrance 42 refrain 47 radiant city 49 solid darkness 50 the alchemist 53 déjà vu 57 refrain 60 CONCLUSION 62 SAMENVATTING 67 REFERENCES 70 3 PREFACE ‘Het is lente maar beton bloeit niet’. As long as I can remember, this slogan adorns one of the many nearby railway bridges. Tasting the typographical delights of this particular urban art, I believe I was seven years old, must have marked the beginning of my feelings for concrete. Somehow it was able to comfort me—just being there. Only much later I realised that in concrete I recognised the mother I had missed. We both grew older, the railway bridge and me, and my love for concrete gradually developed into an interest in architecture with a preference towards the tactility of genuine building materials. I’ve always preferred touching and laying bare instead of concealing and covering up, which, I guess, is rooted in my perpetual quest for authenticity. And so is this thesis. Marijke de Wal Voorburg, spring 2017 4 It wants to be in touch. It wants to be touched.

  • Lesbian Brides: Post-Queer Popular Culture
    Lesbian Brides: Post-Queer Popular Culture Dr Kate McNicholas Smith, Lancaster University Department of Sociology Bowland North Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YN [email protected] Professor Imogen Tyler, Lancaster University Department of Sociology Bowland North Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YN [email protected] Abstract The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of lesbian representations in European and North American popular culture, particularly within television drama and broader celebrity culture. The abundance of ‘positive’ and ‘ordinary’ representations of lesbians is widely celebrated as signifying progress in queer struggles for social equality. Yet, as this article details, the terms of the visibility extended to lesbians within popular culture often affirms ideals of hetero-patriarchal, white femininity. Focusing on the visual and narrative registers within which lesbian romances are mediated within television drama, this article examines the emergence of what we describe as ‘the lesbian normal’. Tracking the ways in which the lesbian normal is anchored in a longer history of “the normal gay” (Warner 2000), it argues that the lesbian normal is indicative of the emergence of a broader post-feminist and post-queer popular culture, in which feminist and queer struggles are imagined as completed and belonging to the past. Post-queer popular culture is depoliticising in its effects, diminishing the critical potential of feminist and queer politics, and silencing the actually existing conditions of inequality, prejudice and stigma that continue to shape lesbian lives. Keywords: Lesbian, Television, Queer, Post-feminist, Romance, Soap-Opera Lesbian Brides: Post-Queer Popular Culture Increasingly…. to have dignity gay people must be seen as normal (Michael Warner 2000, 52) I don't support gay marriage despite being a Conservative.

  • Brutalist Architecture ‐ Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Brutalist Architecture from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    2/16/2016 Brutalist architecture ‐ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Brutalist architecture From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Brutalist architecture is a movement in architecture that flourished from the 1950s to the mid­1970s, descending from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century. The term originates from the French word for "raw" in the term used by Le Corbusier to describe his choice of material béton brut (raw concrete).[1][2] British architectural critic Reyner Banham adapted the term into "brutalism" (originally "New Brutalism") to identify the emerging style. Hubert H. Humphrey Building, designed by Marcel Brutalism became popular with governmental and Breuer, headquarters of the U.S. Department of institutional clients, with numerous examples in Health and Human Services, Washington, D. C. Britain, France, Germany, Japan, the United States, Canada, Brazil, the Philippines, Israel and Australia. Examples are typically massive in character (even when not large), fortress­like, with a predominance of exposed concrete construction, or in the case of the "brick brutalists," ruggedly combine detailed brickwork and concrete. There is often an emphasis on graphically expressing in the external elevations and in the whole­site architectural plan the main functions and people­flows of the buildings. Brutalism became popular for educational buildings (especially university buildings), but was relatively rare for corporate projects. Brutalism became favoured for many government projects, high­rise housing, and shopping centres. In its ruggedness and lack of concern to look comfortable or easy, Brutalism can be seen as a reaction by a younger generation to the lightness, optimism, and frivolity of some 1930s and 1940s architecture.
