Simone Weil: an Anthology PENGUIN � CLASSICS SIMONE WElL : AN AN THOL OGY SIMONE WElL (1909-1 943) is one of the most important thinkers of the modern period. The distinctive feature of her work is the indissoluble link she makes between the theory and practice of both politics and religion and her translation of thought into action . A brilliant philosopher and mathematician, her life rep­ resents a quest for justice and balance in both the academic and the practical spheres. A scholar of deep and wide erudition, she became during the thirties an inspired teacher and activist. So as to experience physical labour at first hand, she spent almost two years as a car factory worker soon after the Front Populaire and later became a fighterin the Spanish Civil War. When her home city of Paris was occupied, she joined the Resistance in the South of France and became for a time an agricultural labourer before acceding to her parents' wish to escape Nazi persecution of the Jews by fleeing to New York. Leaving America, she joined the Free French in London where, frustrated by the exclusively intellectual nature of the work delegated to her, and weakened by a number of physical and emotional factors, she contracted tuberculosis and died in a Kentish sanatorium at the age of thirty-four. The bulk of her voluminous oeuvre was published posthumously. SIAN MILES was born and brought up in the bi-cultural atmos­ phere of Wales and educated there and in France where she has lived for many years. She has taught at a number of universities worldwide, including Tufts University, Massachusetts, Dakar University, Senegal and York University, Toronto. She now teaches at \Varwick University in England. Her other publica­ tions include: George Sa nd : JV/a rianne; a translation of Violet Trefusis' Echo; in collaboration, Paul Valery's CalziersfNote­ books; and Guy de Maupassant: A Parisian Affa ir and Other Stories (Penguin Classics).

Some of these include the familiar fields of philosophy and religion with which her name has traditionally been most closely associated. Some, however, represent other areas where the seeds of her understanding have taken strong root and produced the kind of interdisciplinary cross-fertilization characteristic in aspiration of both her formal and informal writings. These include the political, the educational, the psychological as well as the cultural, in which strands of her thinking have developed in ways marking it as having been unusually prescient, innovative for its time and spectacularly applicable to our own. In the fields of politics and economics her many per­ suasive arguments on the inherent tendency of power to over-extend itself have an all too resonant ring. 'If we want to consider power as a conceivable phenomenon, we must think it can extend the foundations on which it rests up to a certain point only, after which it comes up, as it were, against an impassable wall. But even so it is not in a position Vlll SIMONE WElL- AN ANTHOLOGY to stop; the spur of competition forces it to go ever farther, that is to say, to go beyond the limits within which it can be effectively exercised.' (Weil, 1958) Some might argue that the imperative which drives the US and her allies to attempt to control ever greater proportions of the world's dwindling oil resources does indeed lead them into ever wider confrontations, creating opposition which they can neither understand nor overcome. Claiming that wherever small is possible, big is bad, she anticipates by several decades the notion, though not the sadly revelatory name of subsidiarity now enshrined in the European Community Treaty, and Schumacher's 'small is beautiful' ethos which emerged in parts of the West after her death and is ever more widely accepted as a means of controlling irresponsible expansion. Small-scale production, localized economies and greater emphasis on regionaliza­ tion are expressed as objectives and consummations devoutly to be wished in the many essays on the nature of work and on industrial relations written after her own experiences as a factory hand and agricultural labourer in the late thirties and soon after the occupation of France by the Nazis. Some readers have been tempted to muse on the contem­ porary relevance of her proposition that the complexity of relations between developed states and a perceived need for co-ordination lead to increased hegemony and consequent domination. Advanced nations (including especially the UK since the demise of virtually all its manufacturing sector), exercise control and exploitation over the world economy through the manipulation of information in ways she anticipates with chilling accuracy. The intense discussion which took place a few years ago about the poten­ tially revolutionary influence of the internet because of its decentralized structure and the at least theoretical possi­ bility that information would be available to all equally has proved something of a chimera due to the fact that information remains heavily controlled. Others have noted her influence in the area of resistance FOREWORD IX to war and argue that the industry of war in consumer soci­ eties is supported by two factors: the objectives of statecraft and the desires of consumers. Thus pacifist platforms, even if supported by millions of people, are likely to fail primarily because the roots of consumption and the inability to give up socialized ways of thinking about needs are obstacles to anti-war movements. Statecraft implicates, at the occupa­ tional level, workers who might be opposed to imperialism or war, but as soldiers or technicians or specialized skill workers, like miners or drillers, they have a job to perform and keep. This locates both the routes of recruitment to war and the movements to protest along specificclass channels. Simone Weil's ideas on bureaucracy and work are particu­ larly useful in helping to understand the limits of freedom as well as the necessity of enracinement or rootedness for survival.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

LUÍS SILVA Luís Silva is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre for Research in Anthropology (CRIA NOVA FCSH), Portugal. His email is [email protected]. This is an ethnographic account of national identity in the day-to-day lives of village residents who live on opposite sides of the Guadiana River on the Portuguese-Spanish frontier.1 I examine ‘banal nationalism’ (Billig 1995), particularly the perceptions of differences in national culture and identity in two villages which face each other across the frontier area where the Portuguese region of Alentejo meets the Spanish region of Extremadura.2 I understand identity in terms of Brubaker and Cooper’s (2000: 4-5) idea of a ‘category of practice’ used by ordinary social actors in day-to-day settings ‘to make sense of themselves, of their activities, of what they share with, and how they differ from, others’. Politicians use it in this way too, aiming ‘to persuade people to understand themselves, their interests, and their predicaments … that they are (for certain purposes) “identical” with one another and at the same time different from others, and to organize and justify collective action along certain lines’.

  • Camino Chronicle, Newsletter No 22, September 2017
    Camino Chronicle Australian Friends of the Camino Newsletter No 22, September 2017 Page 1 AFotC Newsletter #22 Sep 2017 MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN Confucius said: “Wherever you go, go with all your heart”. When planning a Camino, whether for a short or long journey, this is what most of us do – we go with all our heart. There is something about the Camino that impels us to plan, prepare, and anticipate this journey with great excitement and yes – we do put our whole heart into it. Many of us find that it is not only the preparation for, and the journey itself, that we go with all our heart though. After the anticipation, followed by the exhilaration of the journey. we return with a head full of memories, and our heart is really touched. Ah, those Camino memories! We all have so many, triggered by so much. Many good memories, and maybe some that are not so good. Over the past few months I have been blessed with many opportunities to reminisce, and remem- ber, various Caminos with fellow pilgrims from as far away as WA, NT, and NSW. We polish our memories in numerous ways – by reading of others escapades, researching a new Camino, or just sharing and exchanging tales with pilgrim friends. So often it is these memories that prompt us in what we do in the months ahead, whatever paths we tread, whether here at home, or back on an- other pilgrimage path far afield. The Camino is so many things to so many of us. It might be an adventure, a time of challenge, a time of reflection, a time to change, or a time for making new friends.

  • Feminist Presses and Publishing Politics in Twentieth-Century Britain
    MIXED MEDIA: FEMINIST PRESSES AND PUBLISHING POLITICS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY BRITAIN SIMONE ELIZABETH MURRAY DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1999 The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and no quotation from it or information derived from it may be published without the prior written consent of the author U,Ip 1 Still, Madam, the private printing press is an actual fact, and not beyond the reach of a moderate income. Typewriters and duplicators are actual facts and even cheaper. By using these cheap and so far unforbidden instruments you can at once rid yourself of the pressure of boards, policies and editors. They will speak your own mind, in your own words, at your own time, at your own length, at your own bidding. And that, we are agreed, is our definition of 'intellectual liberty'. - Virginia Woolf, Three Guineas (1938) 2 Image removed due to third party copyright ABSTRACT The high cultural profile of contemporary feminist publishing in Britain has previously met with a curiously evasive response from those spheres of academic discourse in which it might be expected to figure: women's studies, while asserting the innate politicality of all communication, has tended to overlook the subject of publishing in favour of less materialist cultural modes; while publishing studies has conventionally overlooked the significance of gender as a differential in analysing print media. Siting itself at this largely unexplored academic juncture, the thesis analyses the complex interaction of feminist politics and fiction publishing in twentieth-century Britain. Chapter 1 -" 'Books With Bite': Virago Press and the Politics of Feminist Conversion" - focuses on Britain's oldest extant women's publishing venture, Virago Press, and analyses the organisational structures and innovative marketing strategies which engineered the success of its reprint and original fiction lists.

  • Class, Culture and Conflict in Barcelona 1898–1937
    Class, Culture and Conflict in Barcelona 1898–1937 This is a study of social protest and repression in one of the twentieth century’s most important revolutionary hotspots. It explains why Barcelona became the undisputed capital of the European anarchist movement and explores the sources of anarchist power in the city. It also places Barcelona at the centre of Spain’s economic, social, cultural and political life between 1898 and 1937. During this period, a range of social groups, movements and institutions competed with one another to impose their own political and urban projects on the city: the central authorities struggled to retain control of Spain’s most unruly city; nationalist groups hoped to create the capital of Catalonia; local industrialists attempted to erect a modern industrial city; the urban middle classes planned to democratise the city; and meanwhile, the anarchists sought to liberate the city’s workers from oppression and exploitation. This resulted in a myriad of frequently violent conflicts for control of the city, both before and during the civil war. This is a work of great importance in the field of contemporary Spanish history and fills a significant gap in the current literature. Chris Ealham is Senior Lecturer in the Department of History, Lancaster University. He is co-editor of The Splintering of Spain: Historical Perspectives on the Spanish Civil War. His work focuses on labour and social protest in Spain, and he is currently working on a history of urban conflict in 1930s Spain. Routledge/Cañada Blanch Studies
