Arts Council Collection. Art Fund support is often more valuable than the sum that is given. The expertise and knowledge of our board of trustees means that other funders often follow their example; an Art Fund grant is often seen as giving a vital stamp of approval to a prospective acquisition. Pietro Lorenzetti One of the most significant acquisitions we supported in 2013 was Christ Between Saints Paul and Peter, a highly important 14th-century painting in tempera by Pietro Lorenzetti bought by Hull’s Ferens Art Gallery after it was temporarily barred from export. The only fully autograph work by Lorenzetti in the UK, it was secured thanks to our early grant of £200,000 (supported by the Wolfson Pietro Lorenzetti Foundation), the Gallery’s Endowment Fund Christ Between Saints contribution of £856,000 and £758,000 from Paul and Peter the Heritage Lottery Fund. c. 1320 Ferens Art Gallery, Hull As the oldest item in the Gallery’s collection by 130 years, it has brought new context and significance to the existing display of figurative art. The National Gallery, London, conserved the painting as part of its ongoing commitment to support regional museum collections. ‘In 2013 the Wolfson Foundation directed part of our annual grant of £500,000 to the Art Fund toward the acquisition of the Lorenzetti triptych by the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull. The acquisition is an example of the Art Fund’s critical role in supporting museums of all sizes, across all regions.

  • Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections
    Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections David Hirsh Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series, Charles Asher Small. Working Paper Hirsh 2007 ISSN: 1940-610X © Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second floor New York, NY 10022 United States Office Telephone: 212-230-1840 www.isgap.org ABSTRACT This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.

There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.

  • FRANCIS BACON Dublin, Ireland, 1909- Madrid, Spain, 1992
    FRANCIS BACON Dublin, Ireland, 1909- Madrid, Spain, 1992 Francis Bacon was born in Dublin but moved to London in 1925, where he lived and worked from then on. His figurative painting became famous for his grotesque portrayal of his subjects and its somber depiction of the human condition. He represented Britain in the Venice Biennale of 1956 together with artists Ben Nicholson and Lucian Freud, and is considered one of the most remarkable British artists of all time, although anecdotically he turned down a CBE in 1960. Though his work was not well received at first (and as a result he destroyed most of his earlier paintings), his fame started to grow from the 40s until he became one of the better known and most valued artists in the world. His art has been shown internationally in places such as Mexico City (1977), Madrid (1978), Tokio (1983) Moscow (1988) or Washington (1989), and the Tate Modern of London dedicated three retrospective exhibitions to his work (in 1977, 1985, and posthumously in 2008). During his life he was represented by the Hannover Gallery and the Malborough Fine Art Gallery, and nowadays we can find his pieces in museums and art galleries all around the world, for example at the Reina Sofía of Madrid, the Centre Pompidou of Paris, the MoMA of New York or the Tate Modern in London, and a number of them are part of private collections.

  • From-Glasgow-To-Saturn-45-1.Pdf
    ISSUE 45, AUTUMN 2020 Dear Reader, Welcome to the 45th issue of ​From Glasgow To Saturn​. In these disrupted and distanced times we find ourselves hyper-conscious of history happening, right now, and alert to the details of our surroundings. This appears present in much of the writing we have collected into this edition; many of these pieces came to us stamped with dates, linked to times, or with an attention to the textures and tensions often overlooked in our lives. We hope you find them as enjoyable and interesting as we did. We also wanted to share with you some things that have been helping us through the past few months, and which might aid you as we move into Autumn and Winter… Jack​: If you have access to Netflix, get thee to ​Schitts Creek​, it is gently hilarious, heartwarming, and Moira Rose will go down as one of the greatest comic characters in TV history. I wouldn’t normally be seen dead recommending exercise, but practicing yoga really can make you feel better—pair it with any of the albums of Laura Marling or The Wailin’ Jennys, and you’re heading for harmony. Finally, Seán Hewitt’s debut collection ​Tongues of Fire​ contains some of the most beautifully formed personal nature writing I’ve read in this or any year. Siobhan​: If I’m being honest, listening to Hozier’s ​Wasteland, Baby!​ on repeat got me through the first month or two of lockdown. Pairing the end of the world with gentle guitar and beautiful lyrics is a balm to the soul.

London,: Bloomsbury Academic, 2019. 41–90. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 26 Sep. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350057050.ch-002>.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 2 Climate Scepticism in the UK Greg Garrard Before embarking on a detailed analysis of sceptical British texts, I will provide some historical and scholarly context. There have been many studies of anti- environmentalism in the United States (Helvarg; Brick; Ehrlich and Ehrlich; Switzer) and one on the global ‘backlash’ (Rowell), but none focuses exclusively on the UK. The sole treatment of anti-environmentalism within ecocriticism comes from the United States (Buell), just like the various exposés of climate scepticism discussed in the Introduction. As this chapter will show, British climate scepticism is possessed of a prehistory and some distinctive local features that reward closer inspection. Nevertheless, the Anglo-American axis of organized anti-environmentalism is obvious: British climate sceptics such as Christopher Monckton, James Delingpole and Nigel Lawson are darlings of the American conservative think tanks (CTTs) that promulgate sceptical perspectives, while Martin Durkin’s The Great Global Warming Swindle (2007), a British documentary shown on Channel 4, includes interviews with Richard Lindzen, Patrick Michaels and Fred Singer, all prominent American sceptics.

    Angus Mackay Diaries Volume IX (1989 - 1990) ANGUS MACKAY DIARY NO. 90 April 17 1989 - June 18 1989. Monday April 1989 Oh dear, the sentimentality and muddle-headedness over the football disaster! Because it is sacred football. How grateful I am that I know nothing and care less about it, any more than motoring! I shall wait, I expect patiently, for both activities to fall apart from the inside, and perhaps, become rational. But oh, how I bleed for those poor dead young people. Tuesday April 18 1989 Now Liverpool Council are offering complete financial support for all the families of the dead, funeral expenses, everything. I wonder if the same would have been if ninety-five people had been suffocated on the stairs after a semi-gala at Liverpool Playhouse. Odd peoples’ love of crowds. I think I must have as little of the herd instinct as anyone. Last night I thought I might go to see A. Hopkins in M. Buller fly which is previewing. When I got there, the foyer was so full at 7.30 for 8.0, that I didn’t even enquire whether there was a ticket, - I turned away and came back home. Another aspect of the whole thing, is the lower middle class male being very very reluctantly dragged into reality. I hope he’s not too upset about it to work. Later. It seemed like next day! Out at 2.15 to buy some summer pyjamas, 3 prs. £41 M and S, Oxford St. Then to buy coffee beans, Gourmet Noir.
