  • Degrees of Influence: the Politics of Honorary Degrees in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, 1900–2000
    Minerva (2007) 45:389–416 Ó Springer 2007 DOI 10.1007/s11024-007-9065-8 MICHAEL HEFFERNAN and HEIKE JO¨ NS DEGREES OF INFLUENCE: THE POLITICS OF HONORARY DEGREES IN THE UNIVERSITIES OF OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE, 1900–2000 ABSTRACT. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge had developed different attitudes towards the award of honorary degrees through the early and middle decades of the twentieth century. Recently, both have adopted a similar cautious and apolitical stance. This essay describes the role of honorary degrees in the production and reproduction of their cultural and intellectual authority of these two ancient universities. INTRODUCTION This paper offers the first systematic analysis of the politics of hon- orary degree conferment in Britain, drawing on the experiences of Oxford and Cambridge universities.1 As medieval foundations with collegiate structures, Oxford and Cambridge stand apart from the other English universities, most of which received university status in the twentieth century.2 The term ÔOxbridge’, coined in 1849 by William Thackeray, perfectly encapsulates the mystique of these institutions. Their aura of Ôeffortless superiority’, artfully cultivated in countless novels and films, has been sustained by an intense riv- alry that permeates laboratory and library alike. Oxford and Cam- bridge have reputations for world-class research and teaching, an excellence regularly affirmed in Ôleague tables’ that purport to mea- sure university performance. The fact that Oxford and Cambridge 1 There is little serious research on honorary degrees.

  • Music Production and Cultural Entrepreneurship in Today’S Havana: Elephants in the Room
    MUSIC PRODUCTION AND CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN TODAY’S HAVANA: ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM by Freddy Monasterio Barsó A thesis submitted to the Department of Cultural Studies In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2018) Copyright ©Freddy Monasterio Barsó, 2018 Abstract Cultural production and entrepreneurship are two major components of today’s global economic system as well as important drivers of social development. Recently, Cuba has introduced substantial reforms to its socialist economic model of central planning in order to face a three-decade crisis triggered by the demise of the USSR. The transition to a new model, known as the “update,” has two main objectives: to make the state sector more efficient by granting more autonomy to its organizations; and to develop alternative economic actors (small private businesses, cooperatives) and self-employment. Cultural production and entrepreneurship have been largely absent from the debates and decentralization policies driving the “update” agenda. This is mainly due to culture’s strategic role in the ideological narrative of the ruling political leadership, aided by a dysfunctional, conservative cultural bureaucracy. The goal of this study is to highlight the potential of cultural production and entrepreneurship for socioeconomic development in the context of neoliberal globalization. While Cuba is attempting to advance an alternative socialist project, its high economic dependency makes the island vulnerable to the forces of global neoliberalism. This study focuses on Havana’s music sector, particularly on the initiatives, musicians and music professionals operating in the informal economy that has emerged as a consequence of major contradictions and legal gaps stemming from an outdated cultural policy and ambiguous regulation.
