  1. English Identity and Ethnic Diversity in the Context of UK Constitutional Change
    Author: Condor, Susan; Gibson, Stephen; Abell, Jackie

    Abstract: At the time of the devolution settlement in the UK, there was widespread concern that the establishment of the Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales would prompt a rise in English identity at the expense of British identity and, in turn, threaten polyethnic constructions of citizenship. Such presumptions typically rested on reified understandings of the category labels British and English, and conflated the construct of national identity with the constructs of territorial belonging, social inclusion and citizenship. Post-devolution survey data do not currently reveal a decline in British identity in England. Measures of attachment to Englishness vary as a function of ethnic origin of respondent, but also as a function of question wording. A qualitative interview study of young adult Pakistani-origin Muslims in Greater Manchester, north-west England, illustrates how Englishness may be understood to pertain variously to an exclusive cultural or racial category, or to an

    Abstract: This article examines Adrienne Rich’s Twenty-One Love Poems in relation to Edna St Vincent Millay’s Fatal Interview. Discussing notions such as lyric voice and innovation within traditional genres, the author analyses how Millay’s attempts to challenge commonplace definitions of female sexuality impacted on Rich’s articulation of sexual desire. The intertextual dialogue between the above works reveals that Millay and Rich produced two remarkably similar erotic narratives, which resist masculinist conceptions of literary history and comment on the self-referentiality of poetic composition. Finally, the author approaches Fatal Interview as a work that foregrounds the significance of women’s bonding, and argues that it was precisely this aspect that caught Rich’s attention and helped the younger poet develop her feminist consciousness

  4. Differences Between Women? Intersecting Voices in a Female Narrative
    Author: Ludvig, Alice

    Abstract: The ‘intersectionality’ approach in feminist theory postulates that differences between women, such as age, ethnicity, class, nationality, sexuality, etc. do intersect. However, intersectionality starts to get blurred when examined concretely because the list of differences is always endless. There is frequently silence about concrete questions such as: who defines when, where and which of these differences are rendered important in particular conceptions, and which are not? This article examines how categories of difference and identity interplay and intersect by analysing a narrative life-interview with a female migrant to Vienna. It aims to make visible some of her specific identifications and differentiations and how these are located in time and space, by focusing on her self-presentation and the categories of difference such as gender, class and ethnicity that she introduces. Through this the article aims to contribute to discussions of the dynamism of subjectivities and powe

    Abstract: This article charts the feminist perspectives that have come out of the author’s thinking on the dance performance text Human Sex and how this has informed her own feminism. In doing so, the author argues that a feminist agenda is shifting and dynamic but also reliant upon prior readings and interpretations that provide the point of reference for a departure to other readings and perspectives. Using autobiographical material, the author highlights the importance of considering the personal histories of subject-hood that influence a feminist consciousness and how these are the condition of possibility for making other readings. To demonstrate the shifting character of identity over time, she engages in different readings of Human Sex through the work of feminist theorists Sara Ahmed, Judith Butler and Peggy Phelan

    Abstract: The past two decades have seen the rise of the walking tour as a tourist practice that stands in uneasy and contradictory relation to commodity culture. Focusing on the guided tour to Virginia Woolf’s London, this article examines what happens when we literally go back to Bloomsbury, walking the literary text as we write the urban one. Placing it in a tradition of walking as a cultural, critical and aesthetic practice, this article explores the literary walk as a mapping of the city, a reading of the streets that is also a performance of the text and that, as an embodied experiencing of urban space, is the corollary of the present obsession with heritage and cultural memory

    Abstract: The article addresses the nature of power relations that sustain and disguise white racial hegemony in contemporary ‘western’ society. Following the insights offered by critical race theory (CRT), white supremacy is conceived as a comprehensive condition whereby the interests and perceptions of white subjects are continually placed centre stage and assumed as ‘normal’. These processes are analysed through two very different episodes. The first example relates to a period of public crisis, a moment where ‘what really matters’ is thrown into relief by a set of exceptional circumstances, in this case, the London bombings of July 2005. The second example relates to the routine and unexceptional workings of national assessment mechanisms in the education system and raises the question whether assessments merely record educational inequity or actually produce it. These apparently divergent cases are linked by the centrality of white interests and the mobilization of structural and cultur

  8. From beyond: H. P. Lovecraft and the place of horror

    Abstract: The work of the American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft offers a valuable opportunity to study the representation of space in literature, but while Lovecraft's biography provides a useful way of making sense of his horror fictions, it also risks obscuring the importance of his represented spaces. Many of these impossible spaces mark a threshold between the known and unknown, and the paper argues that an attention to narrative demonstrates that these thresholds constitute the fulcrum about which his plots move. The work of Mikhail Bakhtin also suggests that Lovecraft's belief that ‘change is the enemy of everything really worth cherishing’ explains why these thresholds are represented as threats rather than progressive engagements with social space

    Abstract: Einleitend analysiert die Verfasserin die Anfänge der einzelnen autobiographischen Schriften, wodurch ein Einstieg in die individuelle Lebensgeschichte der autobiographischen Subjekte eröffnet wird. Der Grund und der Anlass des Erinnerns sowie der Reflexion im autobiographischen Schreiben werden dargestellt. Es wird argumentiert, dass die Frage, ob und wie sich das autobiographische Ich durch 'authentische' Erinnerungsarbeit beispielsweise bezüglich eigener Täterschaft, erfahrener Verluste von Familienmitgliedern oder auch generationaler Konflikte konstituiert und stabilisiert, von zentraler Bedeutung ist. Anschließend werden die ausgewählten Autobiographien miteinander verglichen, wobei Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede herausgestellt werden. Die Ebene der individuellen Lebens- und Bildungsgeschichten der autobiographischen Subjekte wird zugunsten der Beschreibung eines kollektiven 'Generationen-Gedächtnisses' verlassen. Die Autorin geht der Frage nach, ob sich in den autobiographi

    Abstract: Vor dem Hintergrund der Auseinandersetzung mit Christa Wolffs 'Kindheitsmuster' untersucht der Verfasser den geschichtswissenschaftlichen Wert von autobiographischen Erinnerungen. Er betont, dass das Bedürfnis nach Erzählen bei einer wachsenden Zahl älterer Menschen ausgesprochen groß ist, und plädiert für eine Aufwertung dieser Quelle in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung. Er argumentiert, dass auch die Entwicklungen seit dem Ende der 1980er Jahre aus dieser Sicht intensiver untersucht werden sollen, und zeigt, dass es an der Zeit ist, dies von Betroffenen, die ihr biographische Gepäck mit aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Situationen und auch wissenschaftlichen Diskursen kompatibel machen müssen, nicht nur einfach phrasenhaft und moralisch einzufordern, sondern konkrete Angebote für 'Erinnerungswerkstätten' mit zu kreieren.
